Hey Steve. Greaves to Ait Nouri feels like the way to go. After a fairly miserable season, I got myself back into the top 1m with 93 pts. Brought in Wissa for DCL and captained Mbeumo. Thank you Brentford! Planning to hold Gabriel. Got cover with Aina, Lewis and Lief Davis. Already kicked out Porro for Ait Nouri - 5 returns this season despite bad fixtures. Feels like a no brainer. That frees up 1m to upgrade McNeill. With Saka, Palmer, Halaand, Wood, Wissa & Mbeumo, I am in the unusual situation of feeling quite settled. All of my transfers since gw4 have basically been used to reverse an absolutely disastrous gw4 wildcard!!!
Porro clear avoid imo. Maddison kills Porro's appeal. If you look at last seasons run of assists for Porro they all occured when Maddison was injured and Porro has set pieces. Porro is now third choice on set pieces this season. Additionally, Spurs have set up with only 1 holding mid recently with a front 5 including Maddison/Kulu in mid, and Porro isn't getting forward as much. Plus Spurs don't keep enough cleans. If Maddison gets injured or is dropped, Porro gets set pieces again, then Ange goes back to Bissouma/Sarr midfield, then suddenly Porro is a viable asset. Until then, no for me
Outstanding points mate! Postecoglou subbed Maddison off at half time against West Ham leaving just Kulu in the 10 and come to think of it, that might’ve been what triggered Porro to get more forward and involved. Maddison did only get 60 mins last week too, so there’s a chance the formation reverts to one that favours Porro, if not for the full match, then for at least part of it. Having limited set pieces is also a huge drawback and something that would’ve been priced into Porro, meaning he's not currently warranting the additional funds over other assets. Unless something serious changes over the next 2 weeks, he'll be out for me.

Lovely stuff as always, congratulations to your sister aswell!
Thanks mate, appreciate it! 🙏
How did you do last few Steve? Another red for me. Seems like it is all going wrong and just chasing points
Missed my safety score this week by 3 points which is a 300K red. ☠ It’s been a rough start to the campaign for us both, but we soldier on.
@GKneeIssYT indeed!!
