Q & A

What is the update on Eddie Nketiah's transfer situation?

Eddie Nketiah's proposed move to Nottingham Forest is off. Instead, he has been granted permission by Arsenal to undergo a medical for a move to Crystal Palace, with no problems expected on personal terms.

What are the implications of Nketiah's potential move to Crystal Palace for FPL managers?

Nketiah might not be a first-choice player at Crystal Palace, but there's a chance he could force his way into the team, especially if Mateta leaves. He could be a good option at 5.9 if he can guarantee minutes during the season.

Who is the better FPL option between Emile Smith Rowe and Leon Bailey, considering their current prices?

Leon Bailey is the better option based on his proven attacking record and potential for similar returns this season. However, considering value, Smith Rowe might be a better option for 1.4 million less, especially if it allows for different transfer strategies.

What is the current situation with Kyle Walker's fitness and his potential to play?

There is no news on Kyle Walker as he is fit and available but has not been used in the last two Manchester City games. Pep Guardiola is likely being cautious with his returning players, especially after their international duties.

Is Rico Lewis a safe FPL pick considering Kyle Walker's potential return?

Rico Lewis is playing well and is likely to start in gameweek three, but predicting his long-term security in the team is uncertain. Walker's return could affect Lewis's starting position, making it a riskier pick in the long run.

Is Andrew Robertson a good alternative to Trent Alexander-Arnold considering their price difference?

Yes, Andrew Robertson is a good alternative, especially considering Liverpool's decent fixtures and the potential savings that could be used in other areas of the FPL squad.

What are the best gameweek three captaincy options according to the script?

The best captaincy options for gameweek three are likely to be Mohamed Salah against Brighton at home, Ollie Palmer against Crystal Palace at home, and Erling Haaland against West Ham away.

What is the script's view on the relevance of Spurs players like Son, Madison, and Parrott for FPL?

While Spurs players are still relevant, they may not be the best options to buy at the moment due to upcoming fixtures and the performance of other players. However, they are not necessarily problems in a team and could be kept unless a significant upgrade is available.

What are the thoughts on Chelsea's Armando Broja after his hat-trick performance?

Broja's hat-trick certainly helps his case for inclusion in the starting eleven, but there are concerns about his long-term minutes due to Chelsea's depth and potential signings. It might be worth waiting to see how the situation unfolds before making a decision on including him in FPL squads.

What is the strategy for handling multiple FPL players in the same match?

The strategy is to evaluate each player individually for potential transfers, considering their performance and future fixtures, rather than focusing on the fact that they are playing against each other. It may be better to save a free transfer rather than making unnecessary changes.

What are the considerations for choosing between Moreno and Ania as options for Nottingham Forest's defense?

The considerations include their potential for minutes on the pitch, the uncertainty of their roles due to competition, and the upcoming fixtures. Both players are priced similarly, and their value will depend on their ability to secure a starting position and perform well in those games.
