Saturday Football Rewind:
- Barnes vs Madisson is a real dilemma at the moment. Yes Barnes shows up slightly better on the highlights at the moment but Madisson is so much closer to the goal when you're watching the game. He's playing as a really advanced 10 at the moment..

..Wonder if it was a shift of tactics in the second half though because Madisson mentioned on MOTD that Rodgers changed the shape to a diamond in the second half and probably why Barnes had more space. Going to be a decision if I go for a Lei mid on the WC. Currently own...

...Barnes but lets see. Madisson is playing a lot closer to the goal and this has been the trend for a while.
- Jamie Vardy btw. 5 Shots In the Box yesterday. 3 Big Chances. Top for xGI and non pen xG yest (1.27). As @BigManBakar pointed out, they have a likely DGW in..

...GW 26 and good fixtures after. So take a closer look at Lei.
- Salah kept getting into good positions in the first half. I'm not too worried about him.
- Trent looks a lot sharper on the eye test btw. One for those with a high TV because his attacking quality is shining..

..at the moment. 2 chances created and 3 shots yesterday. Good numbers those.
- Lowton channeling his inner Carlos continuing from where he left off last game. Not just the goal. 3 Chances created and 3 shots yest! Bloody hell. We discussed this on the pod..

..and while I did a bad job about inferencing @FPLCruyff74's article on the pod as you can see here (Gudmo scored too btw so well done Tom), atleast it god the job done and helped our listeners.
- Speaking about Burnley, they continue from where they left against BHA...again..

..Again playing good attacking football and registering a 1.5 xG again. They seem like they are having some fun.
- Can't say the same about Palace though. They are not playing for each other and half of them are already on the beach. A team to target for sure. Again..

.. @zophar666 & I keep talking about how piss poor they are at defending set pieces and that came through with them conceding another corner goal. Unfortunately the CBs didn't score and Jrod did.
- At this point i'm pressing tweet all but continuing the thread because I deleted..

..the whole fucking thing 15 minutes ago but I like you lot and so i'm typing again.
- Lets talk about Gundo. Best asset in the game at the moment. Best attacker in City at the moment irrespective of price. Has by far the best goal threat and Raz just has more assist threat..

...at the moment. That's visible in the patterns of play we talk about here on the Pod. Its so repeatable what Gundo is doing at the moment in Guardiola's template of football here. I said here Raz was just a one week punt and i wasn't sure and Gundo took the cake. Class from..

..him but lets acknowledge that Lloris had an absolute shitter. Terrible keeping.
- I see a few losing patience with Cancelo at the moment. Don't. He's got a few double digits in him and they'll come. Be patient please.
- Small win selling Dias over Stones. I fully know..

...Stones could easily be rested against Eve. Please play my boy against old club Pep.
- ICYMI, Rodri won't be on pens. They're going to practice and decide who takes the pens. I hope they give it to Foden. He seems like the cleanest striker of the ball in that team.
- Spurs...

...they have some issues at the back right now. Jose constantly chopping and changing his CBs doesnt help. This game doesn't mean anything though. They will be fine for the doubles. Kane, what a free kick. Best cap and TC option in 26 if the DGw comes through as expected..

...Completely forgot to give a few people a shout out btw. Very very happy that the Gundo TC came through for @fpl_chef and @FPLLens who are just top lads. Lets celebrate community haulage. Atleast for the good guys (not all of them are. I hate some).
- Also a shout out to..

.. @Move78_FPL and @FPL_Banger who called the Gundo thing very very early. Both have top observations. Follow them if you want something apart from the standard fence sitting fare and are open to new ideas.
- Btw if you're getting your head around all the upcoming doubles..

...the guys at @PlanetFPLPod have done an absolute service to the community with their chips and strat pod. Give it a go.
- Shout outs out of the way. Lets continue with BHA and Aston Villa..

- Bha outplayed a good team again. They're making a habit of it. Be careful in terms of capping against them. They're a good team and what a difference having a keeper who is not shit makes.
- I'm even considering Sanchez and White/Dunk on WC25 BB26 because they have a..

...good game in 26 and in 29 which is the blank week and they're cheap AF.
- Gross is the difference maker in that team btw. Quality player. Created 3 chances yest. But the FPL asset to own is Trossard. 6 shots and 4 in the box yesterday. Unfortunately they don't..

...have a DGW in GW 26. Tross would be an option.
- Read somewhere that Burnley are 2nd in the league for xPts. Imagine if they had someone other than Neal Maupay as striker.
- Villa had nothing in the game against BHA. Outplayed fully. Wonder if the thin squad is tiring..

..now. ITs definitely something worth monitoring. Watkins and Emi are still top picks. I'm wondering about Jack especially because he's competing with Raph/Gundo/Lei boys for spots. Worth monitoring.
- But when we're talking about Aston Villa we only..

..need to Say, Emi Martinez you absolute fucking God.

What a man.

I can't believe i typed this shit all over again. Hopefully didn't miss anything.

Here's to a Forster start today against Wolves...On another note..

...I haven't pulled the trigger on the WC just yet. No notable price changes yesterday and still want the confirmed fixtures in front of me. The more the days pass without news, the more nervous I get.

We'll see.

Now i'm done. Fin.
