I was keen to have a couple of beers last night so my transfers took place before the gameweek ended so here’s a quick fantasy premier league DGW22 team selection article to update you on progress.  There’s also a few additional musings, mainly on Salah.

So good to get a green arrow no matter how small it is especially when you have 2 blank gameweekers on your bench and then 3 players don’t even get a minute of football.  That makes 5 players who didn’t play.

The green arrow was solely down to Salah as captain who even for him was incredible v Leicester and could have scored more.

My faith in the City defence and Otamendi’s ability to pick up bonus also helped as well as Brighton keeping clean sheets through their defensive mindset.

Salah injury

There’s me doing my transfers early so I could have a beer with the wife and avoid price changes when reports that Salah is definitely out for DGW22 and with some reports saying at least 2 weeks meaning GW23 and others are in doubt.  Why is it every time I do an early transfer  it isn’t without complications?  The comforting news is that, even if I had wanted to, I couldn’t have funded Son and Arnautovic through the sale of Salah and Loftus Cheek which I guess was something.

So, to start at the beginning, there are reports that Salah who came off limping v Leicester will definitely miss the Burnley DGW22 game.  However the club website and the Liverpool Echo have just said he’s a major doubt.

The only things I could find that says he is ruled out for DGW22 is firstly, a Mirror article which is also says at least 2 weeks.  The 2nd is Anfield HQ on twitter who report that he is out for 2 weeks but I am a little sceptical after they also said TAA would start over Gomez v Leicester.

I had always thought he was going to be doubtful at best for Burnley but GW23 is not until Jan 13 and he’s home to Man City which is a pretty vital game and a game,  in his current form,  that he could easily score in.  My selling price is £9.6m and the buy back price at the moment is £10.1.  He will obviously drop as people sell but that’s still some value write off even for a DGW.

So for the moment I am holding.  I am a big Alli fan though and the prospect of having him in for the DGW is enticing which is why I’m even thinking about it.  However, 3 Spurs attackers at a -4 point cost on the basis of no club confirmation seems a bit too far for me.  I may regret it and I may even take the plunge but it all seems a bit of a stretch at the moment.

If I’ve missed something or misinterpreted please add your thoughts to the comments section below.

Team lineup 

I won’t repeat what I said in my FFGeek team transfers article where there was a little more detail on transfers, lineups and captain picks so here’s the team lineup.   As I said if I change my mind re Salah I will tweet it
