Biggest themes
1. Manchester City v Ipswich
Haaland is the captaincy centrepiece. Cherki is a major transfer target but has rotation risk.
2. Brighton ownership
De Cuyper and Groß are among the most-bought players in the official transfer data. (PL)
3. Mass sales
Bruno, Isak, Szoboszlai, Gakpo and Schade are leading transfers out. Treat each case individually.
4. Spurs fixture swing
Savio provides a low-owned route into a favourable medium-term schedule. (PL radar)
5. Chips
GW7 is a legitimate Triple Captain Haaland window, but Bench Boost can compete for recently Wildcarded squads. (PL chips)
