My hand has been forced with transfers this week. I’m taking out the injured Alexander-Arnold and Bowen. Annoying because Bowen should go up in value but I’d rather prioritise points at the moment than team value. I’m bringing in Van Dijk and Jota as I feel like they are safe options. Ideally I don’t want to take a big hit on the leaderboard by going after a differential – Jota and Van Dijk both have high ownership. If Jota were to then score well, I’d likely drop quite far down the rankings. They are also the two that I’d go for anyway regardless of ownership as they’ve got a double game week and decent fixtures. I’m sticking with Palmer as captain as he served me well last week.
