@FPLLens Most players would either shoot first time or take a touch in this position. It's amazing awareness to not only know Mainoo is there, but to put disguise on it so that the defender can't read his intention, and also great execution to place it perfectly into Mainoo's path.

Raphinha is undoubtably for my money the best value player in the game. His underlyings are that of a 9.0 asset, he’ll play almost every week, and he plays for Bielsa. I expect him to push even further this season. But I’m kinda okay with not having him for the first 4 fixtures.

Liverpool and Arsenal not having a double makes FH22 *more* appealing, not less. The most appealing doubles in GW22 will mainly be teams you do not want to hold in the long run. It can be used to optimise fixtures and swerve City v Chelsea for better double fixtures.

I think the expectation that Spurs will run riot against Leeds is perhaps overly optimistic. Since they conceded the 3 against West Ham, Jose’s natural pragmatism has come out and he’s put the handbrake on his team after they take the lead. He’ll be very wary of Leeds threat.

The idea that Vardy is a statbuster is one of the weirdest narratives I keep seeing. He's just a guy who's really good at getting good shots. His overall career non-penalty xG overperformance (since 2017/19) is +1.0, meaning he's scored 1 more goal than xG expects him to.
