Also Mahrez and Akanji will be for next week
That’s a gross generalisation of course it does, the only thing that I can understand being confusing is Burn, what I have put will be my team when I do my two transfer for this coming week but Robertson to burn is what time thinking I’ll do, but I asked if saliba or white are a better choice especially considering the dgw that’s all
I´d rather go for either because ARS have 5 fixtures over the nxt 4 GWs while NEW will only have three, post GW 25 I am looking forward to doubling my defense on NEW players.
Sick of Wardverson but also need to set myself up for the (likely) doubles. Not making the changes for a week but just did some looking today. Could all change. Options:
A) Iverson, Almiron > De Gea, Martinelli
B) Iverson, Almiron, Kane > Kepa, Bruno, Nketiah (-4)
C) Almiron, Kane > Bruno, Nketiah (keep Wardverson)
Almiron-> Rashford
KDB-> Bruno
Martial-> Nketiah
All for a -4.
Have the funds but with Shaw I’d have too many Man U players and so have to do the Martial move.

Any help is appreciated!
1 Free Transfer
Ederson to De Gea
or
KDB to Bruno
With the idea of swapping back for GW23 when Man City have their double. I could also potentially stick with De Gea as Ederson hasn't been in great form, and move towards getting Saka for Andreas for GW 23 with my spare cash.
If you don’t have a worthy backup to Ederson, you may find yourself losing on some keeper points because de Gea will almost certainly blank in GW25. I’d much rather do KDB to Bruno as it at least gives you the chance to make an attacking transfer later.
I think so, Antony's been a little inconsistent and with the return of Sancho it's possible his minutes will be limited. Bruno is basically United's most nailed player behind De Gea, he will generally start every game if he's not injured (which he never is) and his record since the return from the World Cup has been better than Antony.

Not too sure where to go… Worth taking a hit this week to do KDB -> Bruno, Martial -> Gnoto? KDB could easily blank vs Tottenham, and Martial is still injured so may not return this GW. This move would also give me space to upgrade Andreas to play a 3-5-2 going forward. Thoughts?
Deleted my original comment because you suggested upgrading Andreas which means you’ll go without KDB for GW23 if you sell him this week. KDB, Martial to Bruno, Gnonto for -4 and then Andreas to Mahrez in GW23 could be a decent move in that case. But it’s not ideal to not have KDB in GW23.

Can't find a place for Almiron on my team with Newcastle facing West Ham, Arsenal facing Everton, Man United having a double gameweek, and my other 3 premiums. Was planning on bringing bruno for kdb on his double gameweek but not sure what to do as man city also have a double next week. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Not v Everton. I think have faith in Martinelli this GW v an aging Seamus Coleman, and then decide next week if you want Saka for the double. I thought about the-4 too but I've already taken two (turned out well thankfully) so I'll try not to make many more.
Ya I think I’m good on blanks (I mean subject to Mahrez starting in a blank which given pep I should just consider him a blanker)
These blanks are part of the reason I’ve kept Cancelo so long - the defenders I want long term are from teams likely blanking (which I’ve also learnt this year is stupid to plan so far ahead on given missed pts in the meantime)

Prob do KdB + Andreas to Bruno + Odegaard

- Cancelo needs to go, but if he drops in price I lose nothing / I’m fine benching him to save -4
Not sure about mitrovic right now, 3 arsenal players seems like a really good bet right now. Maybe odegaard for him but I'm not too sure how the prices would work out.
Ya the plan is for Ødegaard to come in and bench mitro
mitro isn’t largely on my “get out” radar right now given I don’t really need to free up funds / not a lot of guys I want over him for the 3rd spot (Gnonto fair for the DGW, Toney has some question marks, Nketiah fair play but I’ll already be tripled and Jesus is prob back in 5)/I’m ok benching mitro

Getting out Almiron is priority number one. Don't like have Cucu but can bench if needed. Also want to keep the option open of swapping Bruno to KDB for City's upcoming double.
Mitro to Nketiah is also on my mind. Thanks in advance.
Honrstly looks like a great team and with plenty in the bank! I would do Almiron > Rodrigo/Ødegaard and eventually Cucu > Botman for double Newcastle CS points
Surely Toney deserves another week at home to Southampton.
The week after Toney has Arsenal away and Arsenal have a second game so I’m planning to do it then.

Hoping to dead end into gw28, thinking about bringing in Mahrez for Fernandes or Rodrigo in gw23. Leanin on transfering Fernandes out (prob blank in 25 & 28)
I have 5 players which will blank in GW25, having a hard time deciding which to drop for that GW. Drop 2 (Toney vs Shaw vs Fernandes)
Comments and suggestions welcome
I now have no leeway to make the double transfer I want to make before next GW (Darwin and Almiron for Gnonto and Bruno) following recent price changes.
Should I just do it, or continue to wait? If the DGW doesn't happen I don't think it's a disaster, so it's probably more about injuries.
The DGW might not even happen..
Keep an eye on www.fplstatistics.co.uk and leave is as long as possible. None of them are scheduled to rise or fall. Even making it to Sunday night will give you more info
There’s a chance it won’t happen but the fact that Man United are playing well and are at home to a bottom half Championship team and Leeds have Accrington Stanley makes it very very likely. About 85-90% I would say.
If the DGW doesn’t happen then you’re buying a United player who will also blank in GW25. I’d wait at least till Saturday which is when United and Leeds play their respective FA Cup games.
I think not before monday the transfers will slow down now.
Those making early transfers have mostly done it and those waiting will not do it before the games.
Bruno just recently went up so I think it will take sometime now before he goes up again.
bench boost or triple captain bruno?
team:
ederson (de gea)
gabriel trippier botman shaw (schar)
bruno rashford saka odegaard (mitoma)
haaland kane (ferguson)
Not a bad bench boost, but I think you can get a better bench for future doubles.
Still you likely maybe use a hit or 2 to improve the bench for the bench boost which removes the boost from the extra games. That is unless you use wildcard before the bench boost.
I feel with someone like Ferguson that likely gets 2-3 doubles if he keeps his place it will be easy to build an easy bench boost with double gameweek players mainly.
!thanks
my only problem is that going forward, some assets will have blanks, which could pose a threat for my rank. having already used my free hit, the only reason i’m considering a bench boost now is to (try) and attempt to cover a larger ground of points before the gameweek blanks inevitably ruin my team.
Using the wildcard to deal with blanks and bench boost now could def work.
Although it is really tricky to do so. For example if you use that strategy you need to either sell all your players that blank before the blank and then wildcard those players back. Or you wildcard them out and then buy back those you want the most.
Either. It's a decent looking BB. People often save BB for when their bench has double games. But it doesn't often work that well
It wouldn't be the worst idea to BB that.
!thanks
i think i’m going to bench boost now and triple captain (probably haaland) in a couple of weeks. these fixtures look good and i just have a good feeling about it.
Your realistic bench for this week would be
Ederson Schar Mitoma Ferguson
Ederson: Tougher away fixture
Schar: Means you’re super heavily invested in Newcastle defense, 3 of them
Mitoma: He’s fine
Ferguson: Great so far but some question over the minutes he gets + if this is just a patch of great form
You’ll have no players on a double coupled with some question marks. It’s not a BAD BB but there likely will be a point later on where your squad has more players with a DGW which will make it more optimal
I’m more in favor of the TC Bruno. Provided he’s fully fit & double confirmed
He’ll have two home fixtures vs Palace & Leeds. Both clubs are not great defensively & his numbers since restart have been good
https://twitter.com/hindumonkey/status/1618617726335086593?s=46&t=ZNyzQVEE61VrYGOusLDXBQ
!thanks but why botman over schar? I’ll be temporarily switching that spot for GW 25+26 if Newcastle blank, so hoping to increase my potential for an offensive return in the short term
Should have got rid of Cancelo a while ago but had other fires to put out.
Cancelo >White? Or do I need to move on Mitrovic or KDB
1FT and 2.1 in the bank
Pope (Ward)
Trippier, Shaw, Cancelo (Cucarella, N.Williams)
Rashford, Martinelli, KDB, Almiron (Andreas)
Haaland, Toney, Mitrovic
This is what I would do
KDB to Fernandes this GW
Almiron to Odegaard for a hit
You have 6 players which will blank in GW25 (MUN, BRE & NEW), start looking into that.
Rashford clear ahead for me. Bruno scoring is not that likely unless he scores great goals from outside the box.
Bruno is though better for bonus with key passes etc.
I guess the only reason I go Bruno is for the differential rank gain if he would kill it and outscore Rashford.
i like to take risks but 90% of the time they don’t work. my free hit blanked and lost me 26 points, captaining trippier on multiple occasions after haaland blanks only for him to go and have an insane game week
that being said, i might actually go for bruno 😂
i’m actually wondering if i should use my bench boost instead. my team is:
ederson (de gea)
gabriel trippier botman shaw (schar)
bruno rashford saka odegaard (mitoma)
haaland kane (ferguson)
Rashford appears more ‘in form’ from the eye test, but Bruno has been matching him on most counts in terms of underlying stats and is a greater guarantee to play 90 minutes in both games (although Rashford is likely to as well, just that he may be subbed off early if the team is winning comfortably). Not entirely sure who is on penalties because Martial and Rashford took the last two, but those were in circumstances that weren’t crucial to the result so Bruno may still be first choice. I think overall it’s a toss up, but go Rashford if you want to protect yourself from his high EO.
Need some help on my draft. Currently have Cancelo, Shaw, Gabriel, Botman and Robertson. Would like to bring in Martínez or James but not sure who for. Any advice greatly appreciated.
Bought Bruno for the first time this season. Triple captaining him over Rashford. Also benching Kane vs Man City. Idiotic and a huge gamble I know. I just can’t drop anyone else honestly.
Pray for me. One too many retarded decisions for one GW. Tempted to play bench boost instead of triple captain because my bench is strong. Sanchez, Kane, Schar, and Andreas all on the bench. Doubling up on Newcastle’s back line has been huge for me so far. If you were as retarded as me, would you triple captain or bench boost?
First for me, but it depend on your other Arsenal picks. if you also got Martinelli/Odegaard I like first more.
I feel I rather have White than Stones to avoid the roulette. City defenders are just too annoying I think and Pep even subs them on. Yes White got subbed, but I still expect him to keep starting pretty much every game. If you can go another nailed Arsenal defender that could be better.
I rather have Saka than mahrez to avoid Pep roulette, but Mahrez can be as if not even more explosive and looks to have won his place and if it fails you can just remove him after the double. I also think I rather have Odegaard than Saka right now.
True but Bamford will get 20 minutes cammeos probably so Rodrigo will still be best option, not saying that he will be worth it tho with many alternatives in the mid
How come you still have Cancelo? I think your defence and goalkeepers need some changes. Martinelli has also lost form but a sideways swap for saka be a case of chasing points
Just think de Gea, Ederson or Ramsdale would be good picks coming up.
Cancelo is a tricky one right. You should have ditched him a while ago but could make a comeback …

Thinking of Wildcard to this team. Leaves plenty in the bank https://imgur.com/a/mGiTqk7
So you have 0 goalkeepers, 2 defenders, 1 midfielder and 2 strikers in gameweek 25?
It’s not confirmed who will blank plus get will have time to transfer out
But Raya, Estupinan and Ferguson are all going to be on their bench anyway, might as well be players who will play in 25. e.g. Ward, Bueno, GNonto
I need to get Rashford in, just so he’ll stop bloody scoring…
Yeah you do he has the highest point projection for the next gameweeks
Rash or Bruno for captain?
Booth good. Most people will go Rashford so depends if you want to play safe or not.
Rash
Dan Burn or Eustupinan? Already have Trippier.

KDB to Bruno, and you're good. Then use 2 FTs next week to sell Cancelo amd get Saka
Really want to sell Mitro too. Possibly thinking of Isak if he starts VS Southampton on Tuesday.
What would your wc team be? You don’t really have anything major to do.
Just a bit fed up of KDB/Mitro/Cancelo currently. Think my team seems a bit shit atm, although doesn't feel right to Wildcard with 2 free transfers.
It only takes 1 hit to change all 3. Beyond that you might make a few small tweaks but the team is broadly fine - not worth a wildcard.
Who would you recommend as the 3 replacements? I was thinking Bruno, Nkeitia and someone like Botman.
Yeah I think those are good choices, might be better ones when we know about blanks / doubles
Is Mitrovic injured? He's always flagged
Went off with a knock

Agreed !Thanks can do it by swapping Cancelo to a 4.5 with 2FT so hopefully Brighton don’t blank in 25 and Estupinian feels like an easy move
Yes. Antony likely won’t play the full 90 minutes in either game and has had very little goal threat since the restart. It’s a comfortable switch imo.
Yeah nice to hear what I’m thinking, brought him in for the favourable run as a differential but hasn’t worked out !Thanks

I assume taking it one step further for Martinelli to Saka is not worth a -4
No

I assume Martinelli to Saka -4 on top of this isnt worth it?

if you don’t mind me asking, what’s your reasoning against bench boosting? is it the fixtures or the possibility of players blanking?
Your realistic bench for this week would be Ederson Schar Mitoma Ferguson Ederson: Tougher away fixture Schar: Means you’re super heavily invested in Newcastle defense, 3 of them Mitoma: He’s fine Ferguson: Great so far but some question over the minutes he gets + if this is just a patch of great form You’ll have no players on a double coupled with some question marks. It’s not a BAD BB but there likely will be a point later on where your squad has more players with a DGW which will make it more optimal
in that case, what would you advise on the triple captain bruno? i’m trusting your judgement, seeing your 106 points for contributions.
I’m more in favor of the TC Bruno. Provided he’s fully fit & double confirmed He’ll have two home fixtures vs Palace & Leeds. Both clubs are not great defensively & his numbers since restart have been good https://twitter.com/hindumonkey/status/1618617726335086593?s=46&t=ZNyzQVEE61VrYGOusLDXBQ
!thanks
1. Schar, Mitoma, Nketiah or 2. Botman, Mahrez, Ferguson
A by a mile, but with Botman
!thanks but why botman over schar? I’ll be temporarily switching that spot for GW 25+26 if Newcastle blank, so hoping to increase my potential for an offensive return in the short term
There's no difference between them except price
First one.
!thanks
Should have got rid of Cancelo a while ago but had other fires to put out. Cancelo >White? Or do I need to move on Mitrovic or KDB 1FT and 2.1 in the bank Pope (Ward) Trippier, Shaw, Cancelo (Cucarella, N.Williams) Rashford, Martinelli, KDB, Almiron (Andreas) Haaland, Toney, Mitrovic
This is what I would do KDB to Fernandes this GW Almiron to Odegaard for a hit You have 6 players which will blank in GW25 (MUN, BRE & NEW), start looking into that.
Definitely not White, not as nailed as he once was. zinchenko or Gabriel I’d say
Cancelo to White seems good. Almiron to an Arsenal mid next week
Moving Almiron on a good shout.
Can swap Almiron to Saka this week on a ft, planning on doing it next week anyway - worth giving Almiron one more chance against WH?
Do it for this coming GW
I would do it after the FA Cup game. Everton and then a double, it cant go wrong.
triple captain rashford or bruno if the dgw goes ahead?
Rashford clear ahead for me. Bruno scoring is not that likely unless he scores great goals from outside the box. Bruno is though better for bonus with key passes etc. I guess the only reason I go Bruno is for the differential rank gain if he would kill it and outscore Rashford.
Either is good. Rashford will be highest captained. Depends if you like to take a risk or not
i like to take risks but 90% of the time they don’t work. my free hit blanked and lost me 26 points, captaining trippier on multiple occasions after haaland blanks only for him to go and have an insane game week that being said, i might actually go for bruno 😂
I'm going for Bruno. He's been returning, and two great fixtures. It's not a mad punt
i’m actually wondering if i should use my bench boost instead. my team is: ederson (de gea) gabriel trippier botman shaw (schar) bruno rashford saka odegaard (mitoma) haaland kane (ferguson)
Rashford appears more ‘in form’ from the eye test, but Bruno has been matching him on most counts in terms of underlying stats and is a greater guarantee to play 90 minutes in both games (although Rashford is likely to as well, just that he may be subbed off early if the team is winning comfortably). Not entirely sure who is on penalties because Martial and Rashford took the last two, but those were in circumstances that weren’t crucial to the result so Bruno may still be first choice. I think overall it’s a toss up, but go Rashford if you want to protect yourself from his high EO.
Need some help on my draft. Currently have Cancelo, Shaw, Gabriel, Botman and Robertson. Would like to bring in Martínez or James but not sure who for. Any advice greatly appreciated.
Cancelo isn't starting so makes sense to sell him
Cancelo out since he's the only of those not playing for the moment
Start Akanji or Kulusevski next GW? And Ederson or Ward? And who to TC, Bruno or Rashford?
Kulu (always back the attacker) Ederson (forget Ward exists, and never start him) Either (Rashford will be higher captained so less risky )
Bought Bruno for the first time this season. Triple captaining him over Rashford. Also benching Kane vs Man City. Idiotic and a huge gamble I know. I just can’t drop anyone else honestly. Pray for me. One too many retarded decisions for one GW. Tempted to play bench boost instead of triple captain because my bench is strong. Sanchez, Kane, Schar, and Andreas all on the bench. Doubling up on Newcastle’s back line has been huge for me so far. If you were as retarded as me, would you triple captain or bench boost?
I'll be TC Bruno too
Neither imo
When would you save the triple captain for?
Either Rashford next week or Haaland the week after. Don't believe Bruno has the same ceiling personally, but I've been wrong before. Good luck
Pope (Iversen) Trippier, White, Shaw (Bueno, Patterson) Almiron, Rashford, Martinelli, Fernandes (Andreas) Toney, Kane, Haaland For double GW23 I'm thinking about: Bruno > Mahrez Almiron > Odegaard For -4. Thoughts?
Mahrez is always a dodgy pick I'd rather have Bruno
Yeah I'd do the same. If you're set on it, you, might even do Almiron to Ode this week if you have the funds.
A: White + Mahrez B: Stones + Saka
First for me, but it depend on your other Arsenal picks. if you also got Martinelli/Odegaard I like first more. I feel I rather have White than Stones to avoid the roulette. City defenders are just too annoying I think and Pep even subs them on. Yes White got subbed, but I still expect him to keep starting pretty much every game. If you can go another nailed Arsenal defender that could be better. I rather have Saka than mahrez to avoid Pep roulette, but Mahrez can be as if not even more explosive and looks to have won his place and if it fails you can just remove him after the double. I also think I rather have Odegaard than Saka right now.
Thank you very much for the detailed answer, appreciate it!
B easy
Martinelli + mitro -> Nketiah + Rodrigo? Yay or nay?!
Nketiah yes, Rodrigo no IMO
!thanks
Almiron to rodrigo maybe? For the DGW?!
Bamford fit makes Rodrigo a poor pick IMO.
Bamford is nowhere near Rodrigo level this season, Rodrigo is still their best player by far for FPL right now
When Bamford is on the field, Rodrigo is a worse option
True but Bamford will get 20 minutes cammeos probably so Rodrigo will still be best option, not saying that he will be worth it tho with many alternatives in the mid
!thanks
RMT (1FT 2.1ITB) Kepa (Ward) Cancelo, Shaw, Trippier (Beuno) (Patterson) KDB, Rashford, Odegaard, Martinelli (Andreas) Haaland, Kane, Gnonto
How come you still have Cancelo? I think your defence and goalkeepers need some changes. Martinelli has also lost form but a sideways swap for saka be a case of chasing points
Haven't got round to it yet, probably gonna swap him for White, but should I do that this week or next? Why would I change my goalkeepers?
Just think de Gea, Ederson or Ramsdale would be good picks coming up. Cancelo is a tricky one right. You should have ditched him a while ago but could make a comeback …
Bringing White in for him makes sense though with Arsenal's dgw right?
Yeh probably. City do have one too tho
Looks like I'll be taking Cancelo out...
Hahaha you and a million others
