@Fergi222 @ahopcroft13 It's the podcast tonight and I am going to pre-empt your content and presume that one topic will be what to do with LEEDS ASSETS. Disclaimer: I'm a Leeds fan. But there has been so much chatter and misinformation in the FPL Community this week, that I...
...feel I should give you another perspective.
Firstly: Bielsa Burnout. In short, it's a myth. The evidence of it is anecdotal at best. Many Bielsa burnout pieces reference a 2nd season hangover, and this is true of Old Boys & Bilboa but he took those teams to unbelievable...

...mention that in a 4 week period immediately after this apparent burnout, Leeds went on a 5 game winning run scoring 9 and conceding 0.
At best you could argue that Leeds may be prone to a dip in form, where they take time to recuperate. So now a Bielsa side isn't allowed...

... a bad run without someone claiming 'burnout'?? - that's pretty harsh. And if you believe the above article then Leeds are due a good run going by the 19/20 season.

...level than the first 3rd of the season. Also due to injuries Dallas, Ayling, Struijk have been pulled out of position and can't match the early season upside. A valid reason to transfer out.

...like Antonio, Watkins and DCL I can see why ppl are pulling the trigger on Bamf.
Raphinha - This is the most common transfer out I see being made this week.

Personally, I'll be benching Dallas on a case by case basis and give him a few more week to get other priority transfers done. Similar to Bamf...I am more likely to keep Bamf long term, however.
Raphinha is staying in my squad, his best is yet to come.
