Forgot to show the picture of Saka, but if you head over to my Twitter/X you'll be able to see the picture in question. It doesn't tell us much really, but at least we know he isn't out long-term based on that!

[@Lb_Collects]

Ross.... you didn't Flash that pic of Saka's calf, heartbroken. Don't know what i'm going to do now

[@FPLRaptor]

What a let down I am, sorry mate

[@davidmccoid2704]

[@terminator4963]

Hahahahahaj heartbroken

[@jamesharding1010]

Just watched this whilst at Barafu Camp on Kilimanjaro ready for the summit push tonight. So glad I had signal to watch this! 😅

[@FPLRaptor]

That’s amazing!!!

[@CoIumbo]

wow good luck bro

[@gnasherunited4432]

"Without further ado, lets jump into it" is like a warm blanket with a cup of cocoa

[@FPLRaptor]

Hahaha thank you bro 👊🏼

[@jagerxone4155]

Big question for me now is whether to stick with a saka when there is a small chance he doesnt start with difficult fixtures coming up or transfer to son who is looking to start and better fixtures.

[@Mungret23]

Wissa is a sleeper for the Cheap Forwards section - again depends on your horizon as you say!

[@FPLRaptor]

As soon as he is back, I agree!

[@Mungret23]

@FPLRaptor I'd expect a cameo from the bench this week which could set him up nicely as a 9-13 option. Although most have Mbeumo so might not want to double up but offers a solid Brentford alternative if looking to free up a MID spot and fill a FOR spot

[@mattscoates]

Captaining Son this week (Don't have haaland)

[@claytonsmit4474]

Pretty sure Delap is on pens as well, players listed on pens for Ipswich are barley playing and he seems to be the main attacker there, not confirmed yet though

[@lukeyboy1237]

Thanks mate! Cannot wait for premier league football to return it’s felt like ages 😂. Might start Robinson over Murillo this week with the Fulham defence looking great and Forest have a few injuries. Can’t wait for the deadline stream in the morning, see u then 👍

[@rickytamir4907]

Another great video. Thanks, Raptor.

[@Bondrkmz]

Yes Ross, it’s Twitter. Nobody calls it dumb X. 😂

[@AussieChrisBlues]

if Son is starting i’m likely to switch him in for Saka. Others feel this is the right chance for a transfer with spurs fixtures and saka unlikely confirmed before the deadline?

[@nitrousorange9906]

Delap at number 8 is wild, but I’m nowhere near as data driven as you are. The eye test shows how unreal of a player he is, he will bag a lot more than Vardy I tell you that much.

[@CodPatrol]

Vardy is genuinely a shocking pick, he looked way past it in the championship, it’ll happen here as well as the season goes on

[@nitrousorange9906]

@@CodPatrol fair play to him because his achievements are crazy, to be scoring in the prem at nearly 38 is unreal. But like you said, he is nowhere near the same player he was.

[@B_ford_lancer]

It's Iike watching a video at ×1.5 speed. You're speaking too fast Ross 😂😂But top KZbinr irregardless

[@CoIumbo]

Yes lad, were back 👏 👍 🙌

[@pushtiu88]

yoo...Pickford with Andersen or Sels with Davies?

[@british87]

12:00 Delap at number 8 ? Violation bro

[@FPLRaptor]

He has 0.2xGI, which is lower than Davis, Gabriel, and Ait-Nouri. Just doesn't get the chances to carry on this run of returns!

[@nitrousorange9906]

@@FPLRaptorwhat’s Haaland’s xGi for the last few weeks? You said yourself about how creative Ipswich are at home a few videos back, with the fixture run we’ve got and how good Delap is as a player I can see him bagging a fair few. Think data is great but not always the full picture.

[@waleedmalik7775]

Delap should be higher on the list... yes data is poor but Ipswich generally have overall low xGI but Delap is an elite finisher from the 4 goals he scored thus far. I reckon when Ipswich ramp up the xGI in the next few GW's Delap and Davis will benefit from it for sure. Well I hope so anyways

[@nitrousorange9906]

@@waleedmalik7775 agreed, don’t get me wrong, no one wants an asset from a team that will struggle. Delap is very much the talisman, similar to how Pukki scored a lot for Norwich a few years back in the prem. I think we’ll definitely see Davis => Delap a few times soon 👀

[@davebway6371]

With the change to the transfers - do you think they are more valuable now?

[@repentmaster2842]

Good point about retain accumulated value in Saka/Palmer. I don't hv Palmer, so selling Saka and bring-in Foden and Rashford for a punt suits my game. Like the Son idea too. So many ways to play FPL... Not sure this is cognitive bias, I feel most FPL utubers less incline to take risk on attackers this season, but invest in defence with lower ceilings instead - a bit risk-adverse from a statistics stand point (or maybe the experts simply know better...)

[@alexandermcbrien264]

Ross its Saka mate, Arteta will play him blindfolded with both hands tied behind his back and on crutches, whatever happens Saka will start most likely if there's even a slight chance that he's okay enough to play.

[@nj0921]

Start Robinson or Konsa? I’ve got Rogers starting too

[@pcprincipal7415]

Will konsa play?

[@footballhub7945]

Let's jump into it 🎉

[@pacioklot]

Just went Saka --> Son I'm hoping that Son's role shifts and he starts taking shots finally.

[@kasisak]

Foden or Son on wildcard? Currently on Foden but the return of Son is making me reconsider

[@FrazerWiddowson]

I would have Vardy comfortably 9th place, 5 shots in 7 starts in a pants side

[@zubzin0_10]

Do u think I should play jiminez over Diaz or rogers

[@jacktaylor8872]

Rogers

[@PoloGoose]

As a Soton fan, I'd advise against starting Dibling :(

[@gdp111]

Quality Ross!

[@FPLRaptor]

Thanks mate!

[@akinmakinde1613]

Ross, Bench Lewis [3-4-3] Or Rogers [4-3-3]?

[@Tranmere75]

Should I do Robertson to Lewis and eze to Saka or Robertson to gvardiol and eze to Bowen and hold 1.6m?

[@ndrools]

Supsended.... you meant suspended right? 7:00

[@robbenstein]

I think u will regret benching rogers fr. Dibling is just a trend from 1 really good game. We’ll see whos right after the weekend but i will start rogers. ✌️

[@albertjohansson4960]

U missed the best cheap forward, Iliman Ndiaye ;) 10pointer incoming

[@andypints6904]

Fpl Harry has Delap as his number 1 cheap forward, you have him at number 8 🙃

[@FPLRaptor]

Ait-Nouri, Gabriel, and Leif Davis all have better xGI than Delap

[@ephiibest3368]

No wildcard team this week ross

[@FPLRaptor]

Sorry mate, will discuss on the stream if you can make it!

[@oandsseedat]

Im doing jackson to solanke

[@Gunnersgirl66]

I’m betting Havertz and Wonder Boy play

[@christoferkuchler6786]

I want to know if Selz is ok to play?

[@FPLRaptor]

He wasn't mentioned, which is usually a good sign but you never know. We might get something in the embargoed section of the press conference this evening

[@JuliusGeezerYT]

nice hoodie

[@FPLRaptor]

Thanks!

[@tomosthornton791]

Any opinions on ndiaye??

[@tytough]

Thanksgorithm legend

[@oyciystudpug]

should i captain palmer, salah or saka?

[@novelty8theory494]

Haaland

[@oyciystudpug]

@@novelty8theory494 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@Do27gg]

Arteta is so extra 😭

[@FPLRaptor]

He really is

[@MrCarrots321]

Start Milenkovic or Lewis

[@rik3791]

Do you think getting Saka for a hit is worth it , or too much of a risk ?

[@lemmy74]

I wouldn't but Saka now

[@FPL_UPROAR]

I think you are a sexy pick Ross. Great upload as always :D

[@FPLRaptor]

Hahaha thanks mate

[@queenb2083]

For once I don't have to take on Arteta's mind games....Don't own Saka.....😅

[@pt13443]

Porro & Foden or Dalot & Son

[@AntuanSuarezCreme]

Good 🎉❤

[@waledelhdad4464]

Robertson out & Lewis Hafartz out & Solanky or izak

[@sg5217]

Saka to Palmer for free at this point?

[@Stevericks1985]

Any villa news

[@FPLRaptor]

Konsa is fit if that’s the one you’re waiting for!

[@ImmortalTreknique]

🫡🤘🖖👊💪👍🍻

[@christianandersen9977]

100 procent benching dibling, by far the worst player of the 3

[@Salemonellaa]
