CPH GW20 points

With just three red arrows since Gameweek 6, and ranked at a very respectable 150k, Craig will be pleased with how his season has been going so far, despite the intense agony of benching Cole Palmer (£5.7m) for his 18-point haul in Gameweek 20.

Looking ahead, FPL managers are about to enter a labyrinth of conflicting, or as-of-yet unknown, factors. Double and blank Gameweeks are on the horizon, but we can't guarantee when they will happen. Many of the players we would want for the (currently hypothetical) double Gameweeks are away on international duty and, as if that wasn't sufficient confusion, highly owned players such as Jarrod Bowen (£8.1m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£8.5m) are injured with unknown return dates.

This is the stage of the season where detailed thought is required, and it just so happens that this is where the Elite XI managers excel.

With the likely double Gameweek for Liverpool and Man City in 25, we need to start looking at how to make sure we have their assets in place for that game. Trent, Salah, Haaland, Foden – and potentially Walker – are on my in-by-GW25 radar. I have two free transfers going into Gameweek 21. Given all the uncertainty, I'd much prefer to roll one of these transfers into Gameweek 22, by when we'll know more about who blanks in Gameweek 26, have a much clearer idea about the chances of double Gameweek 25, and will be slightly wiser as to how blank Gameweek 29 is shaping up.

Following the progress of both AFCON and the Asian cup competitions could prove relevant, especially if Egypt and/or South Korea are knocked out at earlier stages of their respective competitions, thus releasing Mohamed Salah (£13.2m) or Heung-min Son (£9.8m) sooner than anticipated. Managers who have clung on to the pair have had to endure price drops, however, they have the benefit of flexibility, which could prove useful as new information comes in. The three-quarter million managers who have already brought in Bowen, for example, can testify to the importance of exercising patience.

Craig says he would be an advocate of keeping hold of Salah, assuming one can still field a decent starting XI. Unfortunately for him, numerous squad injuries mean he will have to make a few early moves so that his team can survive Gameweek 21. The question is, who?

With Trent now out, I'm less keen on the Jota punt I'd been sizing up. I think their [Liverpool's] creativity goes down a fair bit with him added to their list of absentees. With Chelsea and Arsenal up in 22/23, I don't mind moving Trent on in 21 and seeing if I can bring him back later on. In the meantime, a fit-again Estupinan seems a tailor-made replacement. Foden has obvious appeal, slightly tempered by the return of KDB, but Foden's form is irresistible and so I think I'll be bringing him in. Richarlison and Gross are the two other players who interest me this week and going forward.

The final piece of the – increasingly complex – puzzle is the potential return of Erling Haaland (£13.9m). Pep Guardiola continues to provide a frustrating glimmer of hope, saying there is "an outside chance" that he will be fit for City's Gameweek 21 fixture against Newcastle. It is understood that the Norwegian is currently back in light training and so a return feels close, if not immediate. More so than ever, information is key at this juncture, which makes the large number of premium player absences all the more frustrating in the short-term.

I'll be leaving my moves as long as I possibly can and will just have to pay the price in value drops for maximising the information available. Somehow, this looks like I'm stuck with the one Liverpool "asset" with whom I am least enamoured: Darwin Nunez. I don't mind taking hits, but removing a fit and available Darwin amidst of sea of flags is not on my agenda for this week.
