With Man City vs. Liverpool looming over us in under 60 hours, it’s time for FPL managers to jump right back into the thick of things, especially after the long international break. First, we review the 4-4 thriller between Chelsea and City, reflecting on both funny moments (Mudryk, Jackson, Palmer…Chelsea have quite a few jokesters on the team) and tactical insights (why can’t City defend in transition?). In our Dilemma Deliberations, we consider mid-priced midfielders (getting déjà vu? It’s always those mid-priced midfielders…) who may come in for Mitoma or Mbeumo and contemplate the implications of Villa’s bad fixture swing. We then trial a brand new mini-segment in which we analyze the top 5 most transferred-in players this gameweek thus far to get a sense of what the masses are doing—making smart decisions, or falling into traps? And finally, in a week where the two top-choice captaincy picks most weeks face each other, there is…no great alternative, much to our chagrin. Although—and this goes without saying—if a certain James Milner were fit, he’d be up there.
