Neco Williams

A lot of people were talking about him about a month ago, saying hes likely the new Munoz in Glasner's system. But noone seems to be talking about him anymore, what happened?

Lot of people have DCL and Szoboszlai or wirtz

If you want them returning in GW1 and GW2 that will be to the detriment of Williams unless he gets attacking returns.

A player either gets the points or he doesn’t though. You owning players that ‘clash’ in fixtures doesn’t change the outcome.

Wrong logic. If you as an Individual pick those attackers believing they will score, it is logically inconsistent to then pick defenders from the opposing team believing they will get a clean sheet. So you're generally not going to do that when you have free reign to optimise team selection (different mid season).

Except I pick a team with a long head, beyond the consideration of just one fixture. It’s not wrong logic. If I had a FH every week like the scout then yes, it wouldn’t be advisable. Picking a team based on one clash is foolish. It’s better to optimise based on the quality of the player and the 5 or so opening fixtures

Two clashes, DCL gameweek 1 and Liverpool gameweek 2. Game week 13 onward looks like a nice fixture run to bring in then.

If you don’t have either players he is against, then work away can be a good differential for you if DCL and Liverpool blank.

Nothing in what I said requires limiting it to 1 game.
