The week in Fantasy Premier League: Here to stay? The new midfield template

Stubbornly holding on to a player can be fatal in Fantasy Premier League - but managers have been finding out recently that selling one too soon can be every bit as calamitous.

We're all familiar with the sight of a former favourite scoring a brace on his very first week out of your squad - but when it comes at the end of a string of two-point Gameweeks, we rightly shrug our shoulders and put it down to bad luck.

However, when we opt to sell perfectly good players in the gluttonous pursuit of even greater rewards elsewhere, it's hard to be quite so philosophical.
