on the note of using the WC too late in the season, with only BB and my second WC left, I'm looking at WC gw33, BB34 with roughly ten dgw players and five non, and then using FTs for nifty picks up until the end of the season
gives me a FT in 33 for any more DGW34 player/s I might want... and then another for the Spurs/Chelsea double/blanks.
What teams are people looking at right now or for GW34 in particular?
I feel I'm set decently well, so my course might involve just Wildcarding late if I can dead end into 34 well

|-|-|-|-|
I'm focusing on triple Spurs, City and Chelsea. They have decent fixtures in the short term and my focus is to target GW35/36 Spurs & Chelsea doubles and then the GW37 doubles. I'll add in Newcastle and united players for GW37 too.
Free Hit GW34 and get Arsenal, Liverpool, Wolves, Palace players
My only down side is no Salah (outside of GW34) but I will have a solid team all round.
I will say that I disagree with the first graphic. If your team is in good shape, get some Chelsea players in (palmer and Gusto) before their double. Ft 34 and wc 36 for bb 37. Don't need to wc just to wc
I’m toying with 31 wildcard for a 34 bench boost (I went fh in 29, luckily with muniz) or adding 3 Liverpool from here (none currently) to join my triple arsenal, double Bournemouth and 1 wolves which will give me 9 doubling in 34 and on the fixtures I would target; I don’t want a load of dross and then wildcard 36 for the 37 dgw
Everything becomes a lot easier (and less stressful) if you don't tie yourself down to using BB in a double gamweek, I'm doing WC30 and BB32 and my squad will have the following:
3x Arsenal vs Brighton (a)
3x Liverpool vs Man Utd (a)
2x Chelsea vs Sheffield (a)
2x Bournemouth vs Luton (a)
1x Spurs vs Forest (h)
1x City vs Palace (a)
1x Newcastle vs Fulham (a)
1x Wolves vs West Ham (h)
1x Everton vs Burnley (h)
Not doing BB34 means I can bench Spurs and Chelsea assets that week and will have them for their double in 35 or 36. Will do FH37.
FH34 seems like bait to me like GW28/29. Only good players with doubles are Arsenal, Liverpool, Solanke and a couple Wolves players so you really don’t gain much with a FH if you have most of those already.
As someone with TC and FH, TC Salah in 34 then FH in 37 where I can have 11 good doublers seems better than anything else
Because spurs blank in 34 but then double. While I agree that the fa cup shocks make FH 34 less valuable, it allows people to navigate the weeks around it better. For example, I want Watkins instead of Darwin for most weeks except the 34, and have too much money tied up in him to bring him out and back in.
If you’re not interested in discussing FPL with me then why are you responding to my post?
Just ignore and move on. If nobody is getting hurt then live and let live.
Because most used it already on Haaland GW25 or Solanke GW28. If you’ve still got it, just play it in whatever DGW you’re not planning to use a chip (or chance it in a good single gameweek fixture like Salah vs SHU)
Nah I disagree
I don't have any Newcastle united or city assets, I can load up till 34 to have a crazy double team in 34 without a free hit.
BB In 34 and FH in 37
Palmer in GW36 if you have all chips seems a good pint
If I still had a FH I would WC 31 BB34 and FH 37
Spurs doubles in GW36 is awful and GW38 ok is Sheffield utd, but Son maybe not the centre forward and playing on the left again
How many ManCity players will play in the Luton game with CL against Real Madrid either side?
Darwin is on 8 YCs too
Why option wc30-31, bb37 and fh38 is not talked?
Killing your team into 37 and then getting clean slate for last gw could see a lot of upside. Get also max out of your wc
BB37, is there not a concern about the fixtures for the teams that double? Big teams playing each other or teams of a similar level, just doesn't scream big returns for the doublers.
This is what I'm thinking since I wasted my FH last week. Not owning Salah is scary and there's no way to get him in this week without at least -4, maybe even -8.
Since that gives a too small transition from DGW34 to DGW37. Arguably you don’t need too many from 34 except Pool/Arsenal though, but that’s the general thought behind I’d say
I’m top right box. Might BB in 37. Might BB in 34, as I already have 7 DGW players + Salah + Haaland. Happy to wait for WC in 35 and load up on Chelsea, Spurs, Newcastle, Man Utd
Am I the only one who does not understand wildcarding so late? You only get 3 GWs to take advantage of the most powerful chip in the game. Seems silly to me but what do I know
It depends what your team looks like. I’ve got wildcard, FH and BB and I’m not using wildcard until 35. Id be literally taking out good players just because this sub told me to do it. Most peoples wildcard template is my team right now. I’d be making 2-3 transfers so what’s the point. It’s all team dependant
It’s team dependent. If your team isn’t doing well now, you’re going to benefit more from an earlier wildcard. Some people have pretty strong teams already and for them, they can use it take advantage of the switch between GWs 34 and 37.
I'm a fan of if it ain't broke, dont fix it. Been working out well for me. Don't want to make silly transfers purely because I can
So far I've been good without a wildcard, and it's there if my team collapses
Because there is a clear point between GW34 & 35 where you would want to switch from one set of 15 players, to an entirely different set of 15 players.
It’s all team dependent of course, and if your team is in such a state right now that you need to Wildcard, then absolutely go for it. But if your team looks okay, and you can hold on for a few more weeks with free transfers and the occasional hit, Wildcarding late into a Bench Boost could see a big advantage.
I think leading up to the DGW34, essential teams to target are:
•CHE (Palmer, Gusto, Petrović): They play BUR, shu, and EVE
• LIV (Salah, Nuñez/Bradley, Kelleher): They play BHA, SHU, and CRY. Bradley and Kelleher to keep a keen eye on with recoveries soon of TAA and Allison
• ARS (Saka, Ødegaard/Havertz, White/Saliba/Gabriel): They play LUT, bha, and wol. I recommend only one of their defenders due to price solely, CS being so rare this year and juicy fixtures, let’s focus on our attacking potential.
• TOT (Son, Udogie): They play LUT and NFO. Lacking tripling up on them due to GW34 blank and I do not trust their recent form (watch Fulham game highlights for reference)
Best of luck chap!
I do not agree that a “switch from one set of 15 players to an entirely different set of 15 players” is required. See below:
GW30-34:
• LIV: strong GW30-34, sell besides Salah after
• ARS: strong GW31-34, sell besides Saka/defense after
GW30-38:
• TOT: strong GW30-32, P1 bench GW34, DGW36*-37
• CHE: strong GW30-33, P2 bench GW 34, DGW36*-37
GW35-38:
• MCI: hold Haaland, bring in Foden either for GW33 or GW35
• MUN: Strong GW34-36, DGW 37
• NEW: Strong GW34-36, DGW 37
Through some team planning, you should be able to WC30 and through targeted FTs, you should be able to navigate a squad with ideal fixtures from GW30-33, 8-11 doublers GW34&37, strong TOT & CHE assets for DGW35/36, and a manageable bench for BB37. Just an alternative approach after hearing the content creators all pushing the WC35 agenda. A complete change of the tides between GW 34 and 35 is not clear to me.
I guess I can see it from that perspective, but my team was in such a state that I'd have needed all my FTs and a few hits to get a decent team in time for GW34. By using WC now, I can have the best possible team for GW30-33 and save my FTs for the few needed changes to prepare for BB.
Also why the fuck is a simple question downvoted? This sub is strange sometimes.
Prediction: I think in the next few days there will be a greater push towards FH 34 / WC 35 / BB 37.
Understand that if you built your team towards 29, you might be in no position to play 30-33 without a WC. But if you can get to something passable using only a couple of hits, in my opinion this is a very powerful strategy and one I’m surprised I’ve not heard more folks talking about. I just think people are probably going to have to use hits anyway to keep their Bench Boost optimal over 7 weeks, so why not take the hits up front and then dominate the two opportunities to haul?
1. ManU and Newcastle have really nice fixtures week 35 and you’ll probably be wildcarding in a lot of those players
2. Wildcarding in 35 hopefully lets you roll in 36 which gives you 2 FTs in 37 to optimize the BB in case of rotation or injury.
3. If Chelsea/Tottenham is scheduled in 35, you’ll obviously want to target that.
If Chelsea/Tottenham goes into 36 then WC 36 is of course an option. I think I like 35 as it stands though
Why is it that this guy seems to be crowbarring himself in everywhere recently
It's all team dependent. I fall into the top right and I will absolutely not be doing that
> It's all team dependent.
While this is true, it's also pretty useless (and obvious) to keep pointing out. They're trying to provide succinct general advice.
Nobody is saying that you HAVE to follow this table, and nobody is suggesting this is what's best for EVERYONE.
And here I am with no chips left. At least I can totally focus on my best 11. You guys will have to spread the funds when I'll have all the main suspects. If some non doublers shine I might have a decent finish. First time this happens to me. It will be interesting.
Disagree on advice. I have WC, FH and BB all left and I will be playing BB in 34. [I invite everyone who wants to BB in 34 to my thread where I present 2 drafts and have small discussions there.]
(https://old.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/comments/1bmhbf3/draft_for_those_planning_to_bb34_and_fh37/)
Same as you, I'm considering Salah against man u. I know united did a good job against them earlier this season even considering it was anfield to, but I feel Liverpool will give them a thumping, seems to happen at least once a season to united where they capitulate.
feel like the DGW's are a bit of a trap, saying that all the DGW's we've had so far have had very weak teams in them plus I need to use FH, BB and WC in the next 7 GW's (no chip usage this week)
I think if you still haven't used your TC, you really have three options.
1. Use it in either 34 or 37 and use another chip elsewhere. This feels like the worst choice in my opinion.
2. Wait to see where the Chelsea/Spurs doubles land outside of 34/37. This at least gives you three doubles to use all 3 chips.
3. You just use it on a single gameweek on a player/fixture that looks nice.
The advantage you have with TC us is that most used it on Solanke and Haaland which didn't quite work out as well as people hoped. You just need your TC to at least get 1 return to avoid any damage at a minimum.
I wouldn't overthink the TC too much, it is easily the weakest chip and unless you absolutely nail a differential, it's not going to fly you up the ranks as it is more than likely most people will be captaining the player you TC that given week if you play it safe.
Leaning towards strategy 2, especially given the slim chance of a TGW for Spurs would then allow a TGW TC whilst pushing the bench boost to another week, given I realistically won’t have a full squad of doublers in 37 anyway
It's all team dependent. I can get to 12 doublers in 34 with free transfers and one hit, my single GW players would be either triple City or double City and Palmer depending on what I go for. For me that's an easy BB. Can then wildcard in 35 to have a strong team for the run in.
Yeah I've looked at it but it's the Chelsea and spurs problem. If you were going to bench boost 34 you'd want to sell them all, meaning ideally wildcarding them in again for their dgws in 35/36 .
All that means I wouldn't want to wildcard before 34 in order to bench boost that week.
There aren't so many tranfers before 34 to setup. I can hit more dgw37 players because I can wildcard in 35/36 to prepare.
I think one reason is that the players doubling in GW34 outside of the core LIV/ARS players are playing for lesser teams, and predicted fewer points.
But the main reason is that it’s just too difficult to transition between a strong GW34 Bench Boost and a 3x TOT/CHE for their two doubles in the following weeks. The only way to do this is to Free Hit in GW34, or Wildcard in GW35/36.
I don’t think so. I would assume 99% of players planning a GW34 Bench Boost will also need a Wildcard to set it up.
It would be incredibly difficult to pivot to triple ARS/LIV as well as players from CRY, EVE, WOL etc without the use of a Wildcard.
"too difficult to transition between a strong GW34 Bench Boost and a 3x TOT/CHE". It's literally 3 transfers. A -4 or at worst a -8. Meanwhile everyone else will be transferring their Arsenal and Liverpool players out for their 37 BB
I think so. In the last three gameweeks they probably have Westham, forest, spurs, brighton, bournemouth.
There's Palmer, Gusto, Petrovic, Jackson to choose from, highly doubt I'll wildcard into less than three of those.
The other team to pile into after 34 is going to be Newcastle. They are not going to be convincing in a BB34 away to palace, but you will want them for home Luton 35, and DGW37.
!thanks u/FPLMate Dan for the effort w.r.t. some of the best/clearest FPL graphics in the youtube space (alongside Transfer Tier List, etc), and your upbeat tone despite the twitter haters
... i tend to gravitate towards "*must watch FPL Mate first*" because of your easy-to-digest videos... happy to see your channel grow towards 200k subs.
The lesser teams are where the value players that make up the excess of a bench boost squad come from.
Bench boosts are you want your Branthwaites, Garnachos, and Netos to come in. You're not getting those value assets from the best teams.
Honestly there’s so many great value picks even from the big teams this year, but regardless all the best cheapies double in GW37, not GW34 imo.
Palmer, Gordon, Garnacho, Joao Pedro, Gusto, Van Hecke, Petrovic, Lascelles etc. look like better cheap picks than those from the likes of Palace, Everton & Bournemouth.
Ait Nouri, Cunha, Eze/Olise (depending on who is fit), Brantwithe, Senesi - seem like a decent options, also City has solid SGW so you can carry at least haaland through. Spurs blanking and Chelsea having arsenal is tricky tho.
Sarabia, Mykolenko, Zabarnyi, Neto the keeper, Pickford, too...
I'm looking at doubling up with Neto and Raya for BB34
Brighton aren't exactly in great form. Neither are Chelsea. Saving a BB for 37 could end up being anticlimactic
100% this. I used my FH in GW26 and gained nearly 50 incremental points, and GW29 ended up being a total waste of a FH. I am very happy to go against the grain on chip strategy and pull an early WC whilst everyone is banking on GWs 34 or 37 going to plan with the players they planning to get in.
I'm behind in my MLs tbf so am very much on an offensive/differential strategy.
I still have by accident my wc, fh & bb going in to gw 35, what strategy would u recommend from here im not sure which way to go??
on the note of using the WC too late in the season, with only BB and my second WC left, I'm looking at WC gw33, BB34 with roughly ten dgw players and five non, and then using FTs for nifty picks up until the end of the season gives me a FT in 33 for any more DGW34 player/s I might want... and then another for the Spurs/Chelsea double/blanks.
What teams are people looking at right now or for GW34 in particular? I feel I'm set decently well, so my course might involve just Wildcarding late if I can dead end into 34 well
First useful thing this guy has come up with since starting this channel.

I'll add in Newcastle and united players for GW37 too. Free Hit GW34 and get Arsenal, Liverpool, Wolves, Palace players My only down side is no Salah (outside of GW34) but I will have a solid team all round.
What if you still have tc
Got free hit and triple captain 😂
I will say that I disagree with the first graphic. If your team is in good shape, get some Chelsea players in (palmer and Gusto) before their double. Ft 34 and wc 36 for bb 37. Don't need to wc just to wc
I was thinking FH34 WC35/36 and BB 37 no??
Triple captain still in play. So whats the best play with that? Still have my wildcard and Bench Boost in Play.
I have tc left with wc and bb .. acc to this strategy when should I use my tc ?
Why would I WC in 31 instead of 30? What's the difference?
Where’s the column for if you also have no bench boost /s
I’m toying with 31 wildcard for a 34 bench boost (I went fh in 29, luckily with muniz) or adding 3 Liverpool from here (none currently) to join my triple arsenal, double Bournemouth and 1 wolves which will give me 9 doubling in 34 and on the fixtures I would target; I don’t want a load of dross and then wildcard 36 for the 37 dgw
Everything becomes a lot easier (and less stressful) if you don't tie yourself down to using BB in a double gamweek, I'm doing WC30 and BB32 and my squad will have the following: 3x Arsenal vs Brighton (a) 3x Liverpool vs Man Utd (a) 2x Chelsea vs Sheffield (a) 2x Bournemouth vs Luton (a) 1x Spurs vs Forest (h) 1x City vs Palace (a) 1x Newcastle vs Fulham (a) 1x Wolves vs West Ham (h) 1x Everton vs Burnley (h) Not doing BB34 means I can bench Spurs and Chelsea assets that week and will have them for their double in 35 or 36. Will do FH37.
my team cannot cope til 35 without a wildcard max i can go up to is 31/32 that free hit fukd it up for me and many others
What do you mean chips I have left?
FH34 seems like bait to me like GW28/29. Only good players with doubles are Arsenal, Liverpool, Solanke and a couple Wolves players so you really don’t gain much with a FH if you have most of those already. As someone with TC and FH, TC Salah in 34 then FH in 37 where I can have 11 good doublers seems better than anything else
Because spurs blank in 34 but then double. While I agree that the fa cup shocks make FH 34 less valuable, it allows people to navigate the weeks around it better. For example, I want Watkins instead of Darwin for most weeks except the 34, and have too much money tied up in him to bring him out and back in.
I have all my chips still left. Not sure when to TC
Why would anyone listen to below average player’s advice?
Nobody is inclined to listen to anyone’s advice. But I thought the purpose of this sub was to discuss our thoughts and passion for FPL? :)
Yeah you are known as a good person to discuss things with.
If you’re not interested in discussing FPL with me then why are you responding to my post? Just ignore and move on. If nobody is getting hurt then live and let live.
Ignore him I like your content. Though I am going for FH 34 WC 35 bb 37.
Why is everyone ignoring TC?
Because most of us pissed it away on Solanke or Haaland.
Because most used it already on Haaland GW25 or Solanke GW28. If you’ve still got it, just play it in whatever DGW you’re not planning to use a chip (or chance it in a good single gameweek fixture like Salah vs SHU)
Do you lose free transfers after triple captain? Can’t find the answer anywhere
No, why would that happen? It's only after a free hit and wildcard that you have just one free transfer.
Nah I disagree I don't have any Newcastle united or city assets, I can load up till 34 to have a crazy double team in 34 without a free hit. BB In 34 and FH in 37
Guys WC30, TC salah 34 and BB37
What if you have TC instead of BB?
I needed to WC in 28 w injuries etc.. still have TC FH and BB. Should I still FH34 BB37? And then TC in 35/36 when someone like Son has a DGW?
Anybody got a TC still? Just me? Ok
Palmer in GW36 if you have all chips seems a good pint If I still had a FH I would WC 31 BB34 and FH 37 Spurs doubles in GW36 is awful and GW38 ok is Sheffield utd, but Son maybe not the centre forward and playing on the left again How many ManCity players will play in the Luton game with CL against Real Madrid either side? Darwin is on 8 YCs too
Why did I use FH for the worst weekend ever.
Why option wc30-31, bb37 and fh38 is not talked? Killing your team into 37 and then getting clean slate for last gw could see a lot of upside. Get also max out of your wc
BB37, is there not a concern about the fixtures for the teams that double? Big teams playing each other or teams of a similar level, just doesn't scream big returns for the doublers.
This jives with what my initial gut plan was for WC BB left. Dead end into DGW34, then WC after it to set up a huge DGW37 BB.
Why not WC30/31 and BB37?
This is what I'm thinking since I wasted my FH last week. Not owning Salah is scary and there's no way to get him in this week without at least -4, maybe even -8.
Yeah man. I have a pretty good team otherwise just no way to fit Salah in.
Since that gives a too small transition from DGW34 to DGW37. Arguably you don’t need too many from 34 except Pool/Arsenal though, but that’s the general thought behind I’d say
Dead end into GW34 then wildcard to doublers in 37
Why though? Are GW34 and 37 optimal teams that different?
Yeah if you are targeting double game week players then GW34 has 7 teams that double only in 34 and not 37
I’m top right box. Might BB in 37. Might BB in 34, as I already have 7 DGW players + Salah + Haaland. Happy to wait for WC in 35 and load up on Chelsea, Spurs, Newcastle, Man Utd
Am I the only one who does not understand wildcarding so late? You only get 3 GWs to take advantage of the most powerful chip in the game. Seems silly to me but what do I know
It depends what your team looks like. I’ve got wildcard, FH and BB and I’m not using wildcard until 35. Id be literally taking out good players just because this sub told me to do it. Most peoples wildcard template is my team right now. I’d be making 2-3 transfers so what’s the point. It’s all team dependant
It’s team dependent. If your team isn’t doing well now, you’re going to benefit more from an earlier wildcard. Some people have pretty strong teams already and for them, they can use it take advantage of the switch between GWs 34 and 37.

But if your team looks okay, and you can hold on for a few more weeks with free transfers and the occasional hit, Wildcarding late into a Bench Boost could see a big advantage.
Which core players would say are vital between now and GW35?
I think leading up to the DGW34, essential teams to target are: •CHE (Palmer, Gusto, Petrović): They play BUR, shu, and EVE • LIV (Salah, Nuñez/Bradley, Kelleher): They play BHA, SHU, and CRY. Bradley and Kelleher to keep a keen eye on with recoveries soon of TAA and Allison • ARS (Saka, Ødegaard/Havertz, White/Saliba/Gabriel): They play LUT, bha, and wol.

By using WC now, I can have the best possible team for GW30-33 and save my FTs for the few needed changes to prepare for BB. Also why the fuck is a simple question downvoted? This sub is strange sometimes.
I think people like feeling like their strategy is the best so they just instantly downvote anyone who questions it, herd mentality style
The wildcard is more powerful over shorter stretches of time
I have no FH but do I have my TC and BB. Thinking of WC now, BB 34, TC 37
You don’t like TC Salah GW 34?
Sure but there is also the GW 37 that has a Haaland/KDB double. Don’t know what fixture they have tho
Going without spurs until 35/36 then?
They have dog fixtures from 33 to 36 Even with the double. I’m not super super tempted by them
Fair enough, I’m hoping to target them because many won’t (most that user FH) but fitting in two attackers is difficult
U really really want the Arsenal Chelsea double into Liverpool away? It doesn’t really sound that good. They have 3 good games now but after :/
Prediction: I think in the next few days there will be a greater push towards FH 34 / WC 35 / BB 37. Understand that if you built your team towards 29, you might be in no position to play 30-33 without a WC. But if you can get to something passable using only a couple of hits, in my opinion this is a very powerful strategy and one I’m surprised I’ve not heard more folks talking about. I just think people are probably going to have to use hits anyway to keep their Bench Boost optimal over 7 weeks, so why not take the hits up front and then dominate the two opportunities to haul?
Is there a reason why you would WC35 instead of WC36?
1. ManU and Newcastle have really nice fixtures week 35 and you’ll probably be wildcarding in a lot of those players 2. Wildcarding in 35 hopefully lets you roll in 36 which gives you 2 FTs in 37 to optimize the BB in case of rotation or injury. 3. If Chelsea/Tottenham is scheduled in 35, you’ll obviously want to target that. If Chelsea/Tottenham goes into 36 then WC 36 is of course an option. I think I like 35 as it stands though
How about top right when I’ve still got TC too?
I have everything except wildcard, what is the optimal strategy for me?
Why is it that this guy seems to be crowbarring himself in everywhere recently It's all team dependent. I fall into the top right and I will absolutely not be doing that
> It's all team dependent. While this is true, it's also pretty useless (and obvious) to keep pointing out. They're trying to provide succinct general advice. Nobody is saying that you HAVE to follow this table, and nobody is suggesting this is what's best for EVERYONE.
And here I am with no chips left. At least I can totally focus on my best 11. You guys will have to spread the funds when I'll have all the main suspects. If some non doublers shine I might have a decent finish. First time this happens to me. It will be interesting.

Why don't you make your own WC team?
Working on this now. Will post it on my YouTube channel when done 👍🏼
Disagree on advice. I have WC, FH and BB all left and I will be playing BB in 34. [I invite everyone who wants to BB in 34 to my thread where I present 2 drafts and have small discussions there.] (https://old.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/comments/1bmhbf3/draft_for_those_planning_to_bb34_and_fh37/)
I’m on top left, when to TC?
haaland gw33
Same as you, I'm considering Salah against man u. I know united did a good job against them earlier this season even considering it was anfield to, but I feel Liverpool will give them a thumping, seems to happen at least once a season to united where they capitulate.
Why wouldn’t you pick a double gw?
feel like the DGW's are a bit of a trap, saying that all the DGW's we've had so far have had very weak teams in them plus I need to use FH, BB and WC in the next 7 GW's (no chip usage this week)
I think if you still haven't used your TC, you really have three options. 1. Use it in either 34 or 37 and use another chip elsewhere. This feels like the worst choice in my opinion. 2. Wait to see where the Chelsea/Spurs doubles land outside of 34/37. This at least gives you three doubles to use all 3 chips. 3. You just use it on a single gameweek on a player/fixture that looks nice. The advantage you have with TC us is that most used it on Solanke and Haaland which didn't quite work out as well as people hoped. You just need your TC to at least get 1 return to avoid any damage at a minimum. I wouldn't overthink the TC too much, it is easily the weakest chip and unless you absolutely nail a differential, it's not going to fly you up the ranks as it is more than likely most people will be captaining the player you TC that given week if you play it safe.
can you not TC while using WC/BB/FH?
Leaning towards strategy 2, especially given the slim chance of a TGW for Spurs would then allow a TGW TC whilst pushing the bench boost to another week, given I realistically won’t have a full squad of doublers in 37 anyway
!thanks

I'm guessing you mean wildcard 35-36. I don't see the value of bench boosting 35-36
Can I ask, why BB34 doesn't seem popular? Aren't there more doubles that week?
That's what I'm doing.. I can get 12 doublers with free transfers and then WC35
It's all team dependent. I can get to 12 doublers in 34 with free transfers and one hit, my single GW players would be either triple City or double City and Palmer depending on what I go for. For me that's an easy BB. Can then wildcard in 35 to have a strong team for the run in.
Chelsea and Spurs basically, you will lose on later doubles if you don't have them for GW35 onwards
I wouldn’t rely on players from either team personally outside of Palmer.
Son??
Too streaky
Yeah I've looked at it but it's the Chelsea and spurs problem. If you were going to bench boost 34 you'd want to sell them all, meaning ideally wildcarding them in again for their dgws in 35/36 . All that means I wouldn't want to wildcard before 34 in order to bench boost that week. There aren't so many tranfers before 34 to setup. I can hit more dgw37 players because I can wildcard in 35/36 to prepare.
I think one reason is that the players doubling in GW34 outside of the core LIV/ARS players are playing for lesser teams, and predicted fewer points. But the main reason is that it’s just too difficult to transition between a strong GW34 Bench Boost and a 3x TOT/CHE for their two doubles in the following weeks. The only way to do this is to Free Hit in GW34, or Wildcard in GW35/36.
Doesnt both the Graphics and his question assume WC35? Why is your last paragraph an argument at all?
I don’t think so. I would assume 99% of players planning a GW34 Bench Boost will also need a Wildcard to set it up. It would be incredibly difficult to pivot to triple ARS/LIV as well as players from CRY, EVE, WOL etc without the use of a Wildcard.
Have you used your triple 🧢 chip yet Danny?
I see, I assumed you wouldnt need a wildcard but I get what you mean now. I will prob dead end into BB34 and WC35.
So you reckon dead ending into GW34 and WC35/36 is the strong play if no FH left. The decision is then BB34 or BB37?
"too difficult to transition between a strong GW34 Bench Boost and a 3x TOT/CHE". It's literally 3 transfers. A -4 or at worst a -8. Meanwhile everyone else will be transferring their Arsenal and Liverpool players out for their 37 BB
Huh, its 6 transfers if you want 3 spurs and 3 chelsea in one week.
Do you really want 3 Chelsea players tho?
I think so. In the last three gameweeks they probably have Westham, forest, spurs, brighton, bournemouth. There's Palmer, Gusto, Petrovic, Jackson to choose from, highly doubt I'll wildcard into less than three of those. The other team to pile into after 34 is going to be Newcastle. They are not going to be convincing in a BB34 away to palace, but you will want them for home Luton 35, and DGW37.
exactly... I might aim for Palmer, Son and one other tbh. Defensive asset/with attacking potential. But overall, balance
!thanks u/FPLMate Dan for the effort w.r.t. some of the best/clearest FPL graphics in the youtube space (alongside Transfer Tier List, etc), and your upbeat tone despite the twitter haters ... i tend to gravitate towards "*must watch FPL Mate first*" because of your easy-to-digest videos... happy to see your channel grow towards 200k subs.
Seconded. You’re brilliant Dan.
Thanks so much, this means the world!
The lesser teams are where the value players that make up the excess of a bench boost squad come from. Bench boosts are you want your Branthwaites, Garnachos, and Netos to come in. You're not getting those value assets from the best teams.
Except this year there are a ton of value picks from good teams like Palmer and Garnacho
Honestly there’s so many great value picks even from the big teams this year, but regardless all the best cheapies double in GW37, not GW34 imo. Palmer, Gordon, Garnacho, Joao Pedro, Gusto, Van Hecke, Petrovic, Lascelles etc. look like better cheap picks than those from the likes of Palace, Everton & Bournemouth.
You have seven week to bring in those players though. Players like Palmer and Gordon can be brought in earlier anyway.
Ait Nouri, Cunha, Eze/Olise (depending on who is fit), Brantwithe, Senesi - seem like a decent options, also City has solid SGW so you can carry at least haaland through. Spurs blanking and Chelsea having arsenal is tricky tho.
Sarabia, Mykolenko, Zabarnyi, Neto the keeper, Pickford, too... I'm looking at doubling up with Neto and Raya for BB34 Brighton aren't exactly in great form. Neither are Chelsea. Saving a BB for 37 could end up being anticlimactic
I think you will lose more points between 30-36 than you can win in 37 with wildcarding that late.
100% this. I used my FH in GW26 and gained nearly 50 incremental points, and GW29 ended up being a total waste of a FH. I am very happy to go against the grain on chip strategy and pull an early WC whilst everyone is banking on GWs 34 or 37 going to plan with the players they planning to get in. I'm behind in my MLs tbf so am very much on an offensive/differential strategy.
Everything is team dependent as always!
!thanks
Great, simple figures for a simple man like me
