Just making a note that Ollie Watkins' FPL ownership was 36.5% at 18:47 on August 4th.

If Messi does sign for City, it's crucial not to get too carried away on the wave of hysteria in FPL, especially if he's astronomically priced. The money saved on him could be spent elsewhere on a more balanced team.
I, for one, will not be interested if he's more than £23.0m.

A blank, yes, but Weghorst had the eighth-best xG tally* of Gameweek 31.
*among Burnley players
**behind Kevin Long, who played once. Against Man City
***an xG of 0.02, across two matches
****he was actually joint-142nd among all Premier League players

AP on Udogie: "I think he just kicked the ground from what I understand. He didn't want to come off but at that stage, the way the rules are at the moment, they go off for 30 secs. I thought it was better putting Ben on and keeping the tempo. Just speaking to him now, he's fine."
