I suppose I disagree. I think Bruno is very press resistant, but I see him semi-regularly (once or twice a game) get caught with the ball immediately in front of our CB's. He's generally trying to turn his marker or buy a free kick under pressure. Sometimes this doesn't work. No player is perfect, but it's a higher risk strategy than having Tonali there, who moves the ball quickly and accurately away from opposition pressure (making him press resistant in a different way). I think our play has benefited from this.

One of my favourite things about him is having that player that other teams get sick of pressing. He'll just pop it off to another player, they'll retreat and we'll pass it back to him. He'll turn and make some space and the opposition all just stand there, waiting. Happens so much. Gives us control of the tempo, something we've lost since Trippier lost it. I think teams target Bruno, 'cos as good as he is, he'll give you the ball a few times a game from overplaying, and you're straight in at our incredibly slow CB's. Tonali nullifies this as he's harder to press and doesn't push up or break lines like Bruno does.

I thought he was awful at wolves and my Sevilla fan mate hated him for results and quality of football, so I'd say he's pony.

Peaked, gelled, Tonali's.

Didn't really see much in that cameo. What's everyone fizzing over? Thought the game was well dead and everyone was waiting for it to be over.

you misery guts. You just have to take premium down to a palmer/saka/son type and you can get any manager easy, right? Then get that premium back when the 3 gameweeks is over.

Worth their salt who do I think I am.

Surely you only have 3 players from the teams at the top of the table. Any manager worth their salt is going for the big points on the mid table managers.

80 points this week. Some big green arrows, finally!

That Isak > Jackson transfer is emblematic of my season. Usually in the NO top ten but can't get close this year. Not sure why, is it the transfers? I keep sticking and twisting at the wrong moments.
-
Aye, I think I agree. We'll score goals vs the shite teams but I'm not convinced it's loads and Jackson has such great fixtures past spurs that I'm happy to take the hit for future gains and the ability to start sorting out my defence next week.
-
I just took a minus 4 to get rid of Isak for Jackson. This the yellow card thing is overblown cos at least you know when he'll get his christmas rest and change your team accordingly. I'm also having my worst ever FPL season, so I'd stay away from my advice.

I wouldn't might seeing Osula doing a bit of Isak's running. He seems very into the high press, not sure if we could play 2 up top, Isak roaming and Osula running down the CB's.
