DF: Romain Saiss (£4.7m) - This is more of a "keep the faith" call than a groundbreaking differential shout. Wolves were poor against Arsenal, but they have still conceded just those two goals in the four games since football..
..resumed, and with their 4 upcoming opponents all nearer the bottom than the top of the goals scored and xG tables since the restart, it's too soon to lose faith in the Wolves back line.
MF: Phil Foden (£5.4m) - If you can't handle Phil at his 1-minute cameo worst, you don't deserve him at his 2-goals-and-3-bonus best. Yes, Pep will rotate and you may get burned, but..
..if Phil starts every other game and knocks in double figures, there's still some serious value to be had at his bargain price.
FW: Mason Greenwood (£4.5m) - Nobody doesn't already know this, but don't overthink it. Greenwood is £4.5m and is the most in-form (by FPL metrics) FWD in the game. It's an absolute no-brainer. Get him.

DF: Digne (£6.1m) - Not much needs to be said of the flying Frenchman's ability to provide points, having laid on 4 goals and 13 assists in his two seasons so far at the club.
Everton have a relatively comfortable run in their next 5, with 4 fixtures against teams they would be hoping to replicate their opening day clean sheet against.
MF: Havertz (£8.4m) - After a tough start, Havertz has been dumped by a lot of frustrated managers, but Lampard opted to give him a start in the Carabao cup in midweek, which may prove a master stroke as the German went on to...
DEF: Lamptey (£4.5m) - As a team, Brighton passed the eye test against Chelsea, who were hugely flattered by a 3-1 score line, and few stood out like the young right back. Playing as a RWB in front of a back 3, Lamptey had plenty of room to roam and looked lively all evening,...
...eventually nabbing an assist by providing the final pass behind Trossard’s long range equaliser.
As the new season begins I wanted to start a new series where I use my tactical knowledge as a football coach and apply it to FPL. We will take a look at the skills and roles of players and how it affects the FPL output of themselves and their teammates.
Part 1: Fulham
The majority of this thread will focus on Arsenal’s players since they are the most interesting FPL assets. But I wanted to share my view on how Fulham looked in this game to give you an idea of how they might perform this season. To summarize their attack:
