A thread built to provoke initial food for thought..
๐ ARS's attitudes were embarrassing, MCI let them off as it could have been a cricket score.
๐ WOL were great vs MUN but just couldn't get a goal. They didn't deserve to lose this game.
๐ CHE were in total charge until the red card/penalty decision vs LIV
๐ LOW OWNED EYE CATCHERS
๐ง Another GW another goal from EVE's Gray - 5.1%
๐ง In the shadows of Benrahma & Antonio but yet another return for Fornals - 2.0%
๐ง SOU midfielder Elyounoussi with 3 shots, all in the box, 2nd highest xG of the GW with a well taken goal - 0.1%

โ๏ธ INTERNATIONAL BREAK
As always this thread is built to initiate early food for thought, ideally I'd wait until the IB is over before releasing but that only leaves a couple of days
Keep an eye out for injuries & hold off making your FT's until as late as possible!
๐ฏ FIXTURE TO TARGET
โก๏ธ MUN vs NEW
In the opening 3 GWs NEW have conceded 8 goals & 50 shots (17th), 30 of which were in the box (16th). Whilst MUN had an off day vs WOL I'm expecting 3 points in a comfortable home win as OGS shows off his new look attack!
4-1 United
๐ฏ FIXTURE TO TARGET
โก๏ธ CHE vs AVL
I'm also anticipating CHE to grab a comfortable home win vs a AVL defence that will be missing Martinez & Mings. CHE have looked fantastic at the back under Tuchel so really couldn't put it past them getting another clean sheet.
2-0 Chelsea
ยฉ๏ธ CAPTAINCY
โก๏ธ Ronaldo
Fully expecting Ronaldo to start in GW4 against a NEW team that give up a lot of shots in the box (30-16th). When he's on any pitch you just cannot overlook him and, it would just be so like him to smash a monster haul on his return to Old Trafford! FOMO?
ยฉ๏ธ CAPTAINCY
โก๏ธ Lukaku
Tread carefully, whilst writing this GW thread Lukaku is marked up as 75% likely to play due to a thigh strain (But I think he'll be fine).
Should he play vs a AVL defence with no Mings/Martinez he could bully his way to a haul.
He's the in form pick as WHU visit SOU. When fit he's just so so powerful & hungry, he's just been incredible in the opening 3 GW's!
ยฉ๏ธ CAPTAINCY
โก๏ธ DCL
BUR have conceded 53 shots (19th), 41 of which have been in the box (20th) which could be fantastic news for EVE's Calvert-Lewin. Yes 2 of his 3 goals have been from the pen spot but he can be a predator in the box.
โซ๏ธHold off making moves until as late as possible (unless on WC). Can almost guarantee a couple of bombshells dropping at Friday's press conferences!
โซ๏ธDon't go crazy for Ronaldo. We're gifted with a spread of mid priced forwards this season. He isn't a reason to WC

๐ Transfer Plan
OUT: Bruno, Ings, Barnes
IN: Ronaldo, Traore, Jota (-4)
The Algerian has been in great form through pre season and unlike most other midfield assets is fully rested with no international involvement. But the inevitable rotation once other players are back to full fitness makes him a very short term hold in my opinion.
๐ฅ K. HAVERTZ
He should start as Chelsea's CF vs CRY this week but with Lukaku imminent I can't help feel Havertz's pre season appeal drops, especially with a tricky run of fixtures following the GW1 tie. I still think he's in for a good season tho so some might be happy to hold
