Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! – Fantasy Premier League 2021-22
International break time always means one thing, GABO time!
This mostly passive aggressive panel was filled with our fearless feared leader Init, Rosco, who after only one week of doing Init’s site duties needed a therapist and GP who tries to always be nice, but has been sneaking in snarky comments on the site. With a crazy first few gameweeks and a crazy transfer window to boot, there is certainly a lot of questions when it pertains to fpl that we all probably have. I have asked once again on the site for any in particular you might want answered and have included the ones I could that were not addressed in other questions.
Well, without further ado, let us see what the boys had to say.
Thanks for reading Grab, Avoid or Bore Off!. This article was written by Mito21.

Great GABO, lads! Always entertaining and informative!
I have a question: is Bruno even eligible to play against Newcastle? He will be flying back to the UK immediately after Portugal’s game in Azerbaijan (I guess) on the 7th and United play on 11-th. Azerbaijan is on the amber list (same as Portugal), so he still needs to isolate for 5 days, right? Or is he exempt from that rule for some reason?
Ta
Btw he might be double-jabbed and good to go but I don’t know if we can find that kind of personal and sensible information.
i think he can play. havent heard otherwise
I’m almost certain that it will have been arranged for all of the professional players to be fully vaccinated. The players and staff in my favourite team Oswestry were vaccinated before travelling to play in the Euro conference matches. I can’t imagine English Premier league would be be behind the Welsh !
Bruno (or anyone else amber) has to have a negative test on day 2 (or before) and then he is ok to resume as normal
Both of these are not true.
According to various sources 1/3 of PL players refuse to have their jabs and therefore are not vaccinated.
Also, If you come back from amber listed country you need to self-isolate for 10 days. Everyone needs to do 2 tests, on 2nd and 8th day. There is the test to release scheme that allows people to be in isolation for 5 days instead of 10. The rule you mentioned re amber listed countries actually applies for GREEN listed countries.
Well said Tornado.
And how simple everything would be if a couple of red flags appeared by key personnel.
I need to correct that Tornado, that isn’t the rule.
If you come back from an amber-list country and you’re double vaccinated, you don’t have to quarantine/self-isolate.
You just need to have a day 2 test , not a day 8 one, and then self-isolate only if that test is positive.
I know because I just came back from France a couple of weeks ago (after it went from amber+ to amber) and I know the rules by heart now!
What you describe, the self-isolation for 10 days, day 2 and day 8 tests, test to release etc.. applies only to people coming back from aber countries who are NOT double vaccinated.
Hi Frenchie. Check comment 13.1
OK, all clear then
This is from today….
These forced quarantine hotels at own costs are extreme use of state power in democracies I think… Norway had a similar regime, and to no surprise they were spreading more covid than precenting – often due to staff going in with contagion and creating spreader events which were amplified by cramming people together in one place…
Thanks guys for GABO!
I am thinking of -4. for Ronaldo to Ings.
Who is the best replacment for Brno?
A. Torres
B. Greenwood
C. Jota
This is rest of my team.
Of those I am leaning Jota but with an eye on Firminos status as it will affect Jotas playing time.
Dont think ronaldo to ings is worth a – 4
Probably Jota with Firmino being injured. All three could be fantastic tbf
Thanks to all I was leaning to Torres to have City cover and he may play striker plus cheapest.
I think I’m getting Torres and Jota myself
I am joining the Torres club but think Salah is enough pool representation as Bruno stays with me. Him and CR7 will be a lethal tandem, better than Kane&Son one.
I’m getting jota and Greenwood as part of my -4… Torres is next.. this probably doesn’t answer your question.. probably jota!!
Interesting ivan. Quarter budget on 2 manu premiums. Hopefully not too many manu blanks or a 1 goal game with Greenwood scoring for your sake.
My favourite article. Cheers guys
We aim to please!
Hi gang. Thoughts on this wildcard draft? Not activated, but just toying with ideas. Thanks all.
Apart from the double Spurs defence I quite like it. Maybe Matip over Reg
Cheers Smash
Fantastic read as always guys. GABO is definitely one of my favourite articles. Keep ’em coming
Too much time to tinker in these int’l breaks, so tempting to click that WC. Having CR7, big Luke, Salah and TAA seems plausible…
I still think it’s too squeezed personally but did make a draft of my own to try it
It’s too restricted I agree, the 6’ers in your mid almost all have to be in form as you can’t really swap them. That said, if you drop Antonio to a 4.5, you can have Greenwood/ Jota/ Torres/etc. in midfield and play 3-5-2.
