BBC Sport's FPL expert FPL Heisenberg advises Ezri Konsa (£4.8m) is a hold, not a buy, due to knee concerns and William Saliba's return. Owners should wait until gameweek 11 or 12 to sell, targeting Luka Vuskovic (£5.2m) or Jeremy Jacquet (£5.1m) as replacements. Underperforming midfielders Morgan Gibbs-White (£7.8m), Bryan Mbeumo (£7.9m), and Kevin Schade (£6.2m) should be held rather than sold, as they remain strong options despite recent blanks.
The current FPL meta favors defenders over midfielders, with four defenders, three or four midfielders, and two or three strikers being optimal. New defensive options include Bournemouth's Antonio Silva (£5.1m) and James Hill (£5.5m), Leeds' Tarik Muharemovic (£5.1m), and Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk (£6.4m) or Jeremy Jacquet, especially ahead of favorable fixtures. Liverpool defenders are recommended before their strong run begins with Crystal Palace.
