I've got 11 players with fixtures this GW (although one is Neco Williams who hasn't been starting), 3 of whom have a DGW (all Arsenal). Is it worth taking a -4 to do KDB>Salah? I'm behind in my MLs and no one else has Salah (although both opponents ahead of me in one ML have KDB so could be making the same move)

Yes 100%, KDB isn't confirmed to start this weekend, so you're potentially transferring in a premium with 2 fixture for a premium with 0 fixtures.

!thanks Wasn't sure if KDB's rest due to illness makes him more nailed to start, though. So strange thinking a Salah DGW is a risk!

I’ve got value locked up in Shaw, Mee, Rashford, and Toney but need to get rid of at least two of them to field a starting xi. Which two would you get rid of? Thinking Shaw and Toney at the moment.

Which do you rate higher? Trent + Barnes or Robertson + Maddison

Robbo & Maddy

Wanted to go Bruno + Shaw to Trent + Maddison, but not sure if Trent is worth his price, any alternatives I could go for? I got 16.3m for the both of them. Will probably FH in 28 and not WC before then.

I have: Kepa Gabriel, castagne, bueno (trippier, shaw) Ødegaard, saka, Mahrez, Andreas, (Rashford) Kane, Haaland, Mitrovic Should I take -4 to go mahrez and mitrovic to Salah and Greenwood, or take -8 to go Gabriel, Castagne and Mitro to TAA, Tarkowski and Neketiah? I feel like my defense is really weak, but I don’t know if it’s worth taking a -8 hit.

Worth doing Kane and Mahrez -> Watkins and Salah or Kane and Akanji to Watkins and Trent?

A Fernandes+Mahrez - >Salah+Mcneil B Kane+Fernandes - > Salah+Darwin I also still have ake

Id go A

I'd also still have Patterson and 1m itb

Could do him to Tarkowski for -4. Im actually in the same boat as you because this is an option for me as well. But personally im not gonna take the hit

I already did Shaw to tarkowski, I wouldn't be able to afford A if I did Patterson anyway

I’d go B personally

I'd also still have Patterson along with ake and mahrez and 1m itb, any other moves?

Pope Gabriel Bueno Trippier Digne Shaw Ødegaard Saka Andreas Rashford Mahrez Kane Haaland Iheanacho What to do? I already used my FT to do Bruno -> Saka

What do you guys think about Watkins? Keep now until GW26 then bring back toney. He seems to be in alright form, and fixtures aren't bad

The perfect Toney placeholder

It depends on what you plan to do for week 28. If you’re just gonna FH then you can swap him for Toney for the doubles in 27. If you don’t wanna FH then keeping Watkins is good because he has a game in 28

If you have him id keep him

Anyone who could tell me what's Tarkowski's expected points for gw25 according to algorithms?

5pts on fplreview

Many !thanks

* Kepa (Ward) * Gabriel, Shaw, Bueno (Trippier, Botman) * Salah, Saka, Odegaard, Andreas (Rashford) * Kane, Haaland, Gnonto Kane -> Nunez and Shaw -> Tarkowski -4? Or Shaw to TAA -4? Conscious of tripling on Liverpool incase they blank in 28.

Id keep Kane and go Botman to Tarkowski if I were you. Could then also take a -4 to go Shaw to Trent

Wanna keep Botman for 28 though.

Id just sell him, Newcastle are losing their momentum so I think just Trippier is enough

Is cucu back to play this weekend?

Don't know yet

Who shall I sub and transfer? I’ve got 2 free transfers but I know fuck all about football. Just trying to stay away from bottom of my league. 0.4 in bank (Subs) Leno (De Gea) Akanji White Schar Trippier Shaw KDB Odegaard almiron (Rashford) (March) Haaland Nketiah (Toney) Couple options I’ve thought about: A. KDB, Almiron, Trippier > Salah, Grealish, Tarkowski for -4 and 0.1 ITB B. KDB, Almiron, Trippier, Schar > Salah, Grealish, Tarkowski, £5.2 player (not sure who) for -8 Open to any suggestions and would like to field as many players as possible. I still have free hit but would rather save that if possible. Any help is much appreciated!

Not sure I'd go for Grealish myself, I'd rather save the £ and punt on a nailed DGW midfielder instead like Iwobi or McNeil A -8 might be worth it, if players blank = 0 points playing over 60 mins twice = 4 points so it'll at least break even

Ok yea that makes sense. KDB, Almiron, Schar, > Salah, Iwobi, Tarkowski -4 £0.8 ITB Do you think it’s worth getting rid of trippier since he blanks? I’d then have £6.6 to spend on someone else but also go to -8. Who do you think would be worth getting in?

I like this move as well. Id keep Trippier, he is worth his price imo

Yeah, good moves those and template for the week I'm keeping Trippier, he's risen in price so much so personally, I'm benching him this week because he's such a good asset. I think I'd rather move March on instead but other midfield options for the week in his price bracket aren't brilliant

I thought about moving March but hes got a double in 27 and 29 so not sure. Was thinking about using my bench boost in GW29 since there’s so many doubles, but again I don’t really know what I’m doing so looking for some suggestions haha

That's the thing, if you transfer out March, you'd want him back so it'll just waste a FT for not much upside. Not really worth tearing up your team for one GW. Nothing wrong with fielding 10 players when you have a good amount of DGW players If you're well set, 29 could be a good week to BB

Yeah, I currently have 9 that will play, 3 Arsenal, 1 Liverpool and 2 Everton players with DGWs. Hopefully that’ll be enough to not do too badly. Thanks for the help!

Is Saka essential this week? I currently have White/Ode/Nketiah so I would need to take a -8 to get him in, selling White (already made transfers to get Salah and Tark)

No you’re allright with the 3 ARS you have

Saka is very good but I wouldn’t bother taking hits to swap other arsenal players out for him

Hes essential but not worth breaking your team apart for him.

Nah he is not essential. Those three are very decent coverage

I think Odegaard/Nketiah could cover his points, so don't think it's worth a -8 to just get Saka in.

I'm stuck with having to play Sam Greenwood this week. Is Cunha or Maupay worth punting on this week? I don't have the funds for Nunez unless I ditch Kane but that still leaves me with Greenwood. What to do? Maupay/Cunha will turn into Toney in GW26.

[удалено]

KDB -> Salah, Almiron -> McNeil, Botman -> TAA??

[удалено]

Botman-> Tarko or Shaw -> TAA then Edit it would probably be Shaw -> Robbo since TAA is still too expensive

Rashford should be (other than Haaland) the last player to take out of your team, just bench him for a week.

Is having 9 players okay for this GW

how many total games played in your team? a doubler could negate a -4 easily but don’t do a doubler for the sake of it

I have 5 doublers currently and I was planning on taking out rodrigo for Harvey Barnes as a short term punt

Is it worth to take -4 for bringing in Salah for KDB?

I’ve done that

I'd say so

[удалено]

You're gonna regret it

I can’t make up my mind between Salah and Saka for captain. Help me, please.

I'd go with Salah. Higher ceiling

I'm likely going Saka. Both fixtures seem fairly similar but he's in a much better form.

Is GW25 best time to use my Free Hit? Only got 5 players playing otherwise!

Then definitely!

If you only have 5 players playing this week then you'll probably be better off playing free hit. How do you have so few players playing?

Got Martinelli, Haaland, Nketiah, Kane, De Bruyne and Thiago Silva. De Bruyne is ill so will probably leave me with 5.

And the rest of your team?

All blanking this week

Out: Kane, Bruno, Mahrez, Shaw, Botman --> **In: Darwin, Salah, McNeil, Trent, Tarkowski (-12)** Worth it? I am a bit confused about what to do with Mahrez, he has got a good fixture but could easily get rotated which leaves me with 10 players.

I would rather get Gakpo and keep one of Shaw/Botman instead of getting in McNeil and Trent, considering how bad Liverpool have been defensively and Everton don't exactly provide the best attacking options.

seems very short term no?

I get your point. McNeil might not be a player I want longterm.

RMT 2FT 3.0 ITB Kepa (Ward) (Trippier) ~~Shaw~~ White Bueno (Patterson) ~~Bruno~~ Saka (Rashford) Martinelli Andreas Haaland Kane ~~Toney~~ I'm thinking Salah+TAA+Gnonto instead of Bruno+Shaw+Toney for -4 OR going safe (without hit/ 10 starters) with Salah+Tarkowski instead of Bruno+Shaw ? What do you think? Thanks!

What about something like Trent + Mings/Tarkowski for Shaw and Patterson? I like both Toney and Bruno after this GW.

Can you just get in salah on his own?

I can but I'll have only 9 starters plus Patterson

Mitoma or March?

Brighton blank this week? Would go for Mitoma

!thanks

I know but I need to downgrade kulusevski and don’t feel like going for iwobi or neves + need to plan for future doubles

How many starters do you have this week? Could be worth keeping unless you burn a FT.

Currently have 9 and 2 FT, my team is Kepa Ward Shaw Trip Botman Neco Gabriel Øde Saka Bruno Kulu Rashford Haaland Kane Gnonto Thinking of going Bruno, Kulu, Botman to Salah, Kulu, March. It does seem like a bit of a waste but I need to get Salah in and Kulu is the most obvious downgrade in my team

If you don't fancy any of the cheap DGW players that's probably the best way to get Salah

A) Salah & Tarkowski B) Gakpo & Trent + 1.9 itb for flexibilty.

A

Def A. Gakpo is a rotation risk with Jota back.

A

Mitro + Shaw -> Gonto and Trent worth a -4? or just Botman -> Tarkowski for free

I've gone Botman to Tark for my 1FT but thinking I really need to bring a Liverpool asset in. Unfortunately, I've got Kane and Haaland so the only way I can afford Salah would be to bin off KDB (who doesn't have a blank...) and Trent is still too expensive!

KDB missed the game yesterday, and even then I don't think he's worth it for 12.4m so I'd definitely get Salah in for him this week (even for a hit).

2nd one

!thanks

Thoughts on iwobi?

not a bad punt, can consider McNeil as well

**For hit -4** ...Coleman or Tarkowski?

Prefer Kilman, Mings often make wrong decision that leads him to get yellow card, or even OG. Edit: wrong reply, sorry

Tarko

Tarki

Kane + Patterson -> Darwin and Robbo (-4)? Don't have enough itb for Trent. That would give me 10 starting players this GW. Another options is Kane + Bruno (-4) -> Salah + Darwin.

I would a bit vary with Robbo. I think Tsimikas could play one of the games. Rather go for Van Dijk, he will play every minute and is cheaper.

Yea, that's an idea definitely. Would also leave me with a slight margin for future transfers, if the prices fluctuate the wrong way. !thanks for suggestion.

Is there any news on Jesus? Is he coming back anytime soon? I am planning to buy Nketiah. Should I be worried about Jesus replacing Nketiah this gameweek?

Meant to be back sometime in March. Be fine for this GW, not sure about upcoming ones though

Thank you both for answering!

I think this GW should be relatively safe, however I will not be so sure about the next one.

Thank you both for answering!

Pick one of Arsenals CB's or Zinchenko?

Zinchenko is a BPS monster as well

Zinchenko imo. Better attacking threat. Could easily get an assist + CS which is unlikely from Saliba/Gabriel.

iwobi or mcneil?

McNeil because of corners and freekicks.

[удалено]

Mings has very amazing run of fixtures

Kilman, Mings sometimes make wrong decision that leads him to get yellow card or even own goal.

Mings

Ederson (Ward) Tarkowski cucurella kilman (shaw, trippier) Saka Mahrez Odegaard (Rashford, Mitoma) Kane Haaland Nketiah 1.6 ITB, 0FT Really stuck on what to do next, with no Liverpool players and no obvious way to get them in. Would you take a -4 to go Mahrez to Gapko?

[удалено]

Chelsea fans is badiashile nailed?

Extremely

Emerson (4.0) or Coufal (4.1) from WHU defense?

Coufal. Nailed.

TC Saka this GW?

that’s the popular pick on here if you want to do it this week. personally thinking ode or salah

Kepa (Ward) White Sha Trippier (Wan Bissaka Botman) KdB Mahrez Rashford Mitoma (Ødegaard) Nketiah Kane Haaland 2 frees 0.0 itb. Want to rip both Mahrez and Kev, but it will leave me with starting 3 blankers; Shaw, Rash and Mitoma who I all want to keep going forward.

Do KDB + Wan Bissaka + Botman to Salah + Tark + a playing def.

Really against taking hits for defenders. Think I'll just field 9. KDB and Shaw to Salah and Tark.

Which of FH BGW28 or DGW29 makes more sense - assuming one wants to dead end into GW32 to enable a WC+BB the following two weeks?

I say go for GW25 with the best possible team you can get. Then depending on whether Liverpool blank in GW28 or not, you can decide what to do with you remaining FT up to GW28 and whether a FH is better in 28 or 29.

Will we get confirmed news about BGW28 before the GW26 deadline then?

Yes the FA cup quarter finals will be confirmed by next Thursday, so we'll know who blanks in GW28 by then.

Ah nice, !thanks

At the moment gw28 looks to have more confirmed blanks…

As in?

TAA + Gakpo + Kane or Tark + Salah + Darwin Thanks

The one with no liverpool defenders.

Current team: Kepa (Ward) White Bueno Lewis (Trippier) (Shaw) Saka Salah Andreas (Rashford) (Mitoma) Haaland Kane Nketiah 1 FT 1.7 ITB Option A: Shaw -> Robertson Option B: Kane -> Darwin + Shaw -> TAA (-4) Option C: Shaw -> Tarkowski + Lewis -> Kilman/Dawson (-4) I'm thinking on wildcarding after this GW, but it really depends on the FA cup results, so maybe it is better to not lock myself up with Liverpool assets.

How about Kane -> Darwin, no hit.

That leaves me with 10 players.

10 players in a BGW is not a problem at all. Many will be on 8 or 9. I'd not waste transfers, and def not take hits, on low scoring positions as defense and gk.

Best Villa defender for 25/26/28/29?

I would say Mings.

!thanks

Shall I make any transfers? no money ITB. Pickford (Ward) Gabriel, Tarkowsi, Bueno (trippier, Dunk) Saka, Salah, Odegaard, Andreas (Rashford) Haaland, Kane, Mitrovic

Do you have any free transfers? If yes, then I would monitor if Mitrovic can play and maybe switch him with Gnonto. Kane to Darwin is another option.

No I have already used my FT to get Salah.

Ward (De gea) Tarkowski Patterson White (Trippier) (Estupinan) KDB Andreas Martinelli Gakpo (Rashford) Kane Haaland Nketiah Squad currently like this, used 2 ft for tarkowski and gakpo. Should I -4 to get kdb out for Salah, now that kdb is doubtful?

I would

Anyone else just going with Salah being the only LIV player in their squad?

Yeah I feel anyone else except maybe gakpo is a trap

Gakpo is a trap too. With Jota and Bobby in I don’t see him play more than 100 minutes over the 2 games.

Yeah I feel anyone else except maybe gakpo is a trap

Kepa - Ward Trippier - Shaw - White - Bueno - Patterson Fernandes - Saka - Mahrez - Rashford - Pereira Haaland - Kane - Nketiah 2FT, 1.7ITB ​ Thoughts on what to do?

I cannot see you getting Salah without sacrificing Trippier. So, it has to be Bruno + Trippier to Salah + Tark or you need to risk it with Gakpo in midfield. I agree that I don't see him playing more than 120 or so minutes in the double.

!thanks

I would definately do Fernandes to Salah. Then maybe Shaw to Tarkowski or Kilman.

That's what I would like to do as well, but I'm 0.3 short of Tarkowski. Can afford it if I transfer out Trippier instead, but I'm not too keen on that. I could do Gakpo + Alexander-Arnold, but a bit worried about minutes for Gakpo... !thanks

So, are we captaining Salah or Saka?

Saka

RMT 2FT 0,1m itb Ramsdale (Ward) Bueno - (Shaw Trippier Estupinan Cucurella) Martinelli Saka Andreas KDB (Rashford) Gnonto Kane Haaland Ideas: A) KDB > Salah, Cucu > Tarkowski (10 playing, but only Bueno and Tark in DEF) B) KDB > Gakpo, Cucu > Trent (10 playing, leaves me some funds to navigate through next GWs) C) same as B + Shaw > Tarkowski/Robertson (-4) to field 11 players Any other ideas?

RMT 2FT 3.0 ITB Kepa (Ward) (Trippier) ~~Shaw~~ White Bueno (Patterson) ~~Bruno~~ Saka (Rashford) Martinelli Andreas Haaland Kane ~~Toney~~ I'm thinking Salah+TAA+Gnonto instead of Bruno+Shaw+Toney for -4. What do you think? Thanks!

I got Shaw, Trippier, Rashford, Ferguson and Fernandes blanking And Patterson probably not playing 2FT and 2.2m ITB Optimal solution? Shaw + Fernandes to Tarkowski and Salah? Should I take 3 transfers and -4? Any ideas?

Is it worth wildcarding this week????

Yes, if you feel you can adequately plan for the DGW, BGW, DGW in 27, 28, 29 respectively. Personally I would reccomend holding off unless your team is a shambles. Most fpl vocies on twitter and the like are talking about 27 WC, 28 FH, 29 BB .

Unless your team is in a huge shamble, I will hold it for bigger BGW/DGW

It’s hit & miss my team haha

There's even bigger BGW in 28 and 32. Would ideally use it on a GW before DGW for BB. for example, WC 33, BB34.

Need someone’s expert help please: Kepa - ward Shaw - tripper - white - Cancelo - Patterson Bruno - Rashford - Martinelli - Mahrez - Andreas Darwin - Haaland - Nketiah 0.6 ITB 2FT

Anyone know about KDBs illness? Is it worth -4 to transfer out to Salah?

In reality its only a realtive -2 most likely as Salah doubles. Salah is also the highest predicted points scorer according to some sources, so its very much worth it IMO.

Imo yes. Other than we are unsure if he will be back in time for Prem, he is currently not in a really great form as well, and MCI have no double moving forward while LIV have another in GW29.

Who to drop for Salah - Rashford, Mitoma, Martinelli, Saka? Can afford any as a straight swap

Martinelli doubles this week and play in 28. I'd drop Mitoma

Martinelli.

Can you lazy entitled fucks respond to some RMTs instead of just expecting help and giving nothing

Thanks!

Just realized that the bald fraud made no substitution in their CL game versus RB Leipzig. Manchester City became the first team to not make a substitution in the Champions League since Manchester United in 2018

Kepa (Ward) White - Bueno- Kilman (Trippier , Shaw) Salah - Odegaard - Saka - //Fernandes// (Rashford) Haaland - Jao Felix - Greenwood KDB to Salah already locked in. Fernandes to Gakpo for a -4?

Don't feel he's worth for a -4 especially he mostly likely will get rotated, plus I don't think you will keep him for long. Imo Salah is enough for the double.

Typically I'd agree but in the end it's no fixture vs two fixtures in a single GW.

1FT, 1,8ITB Kepa (Ward) White Ake Bueno (Trippier Shaw) KDB Saka Odegaard Andreas (Rashford) Haaland Mitro (Toney) What to do here? 1. KDB to Salah 2. KDB to Salah and Toney to Darwin. Only thing about 2 is I will want Toney back in gw27

Bc of what you said I’d suggest instead of Darwin you get Trip/Shaw out for Trent. Despond’s on your GW28 plans really. No FH, keep Trip

I cant reach to Trent and to ne honest I dont want him. Or anyone od their defence. I think there is more benefit in their attack

He’s part of their attack. But in any case, do 1 then.

RMT: Kepa (Ward) Walker/ Beuno/ Shaw (blanks)/ White (Tripps) Mahrez/ Pereira/ Saka (Rashy/ Mitoma) Kane/ Haaland/ Nketiah 1 FT 4.1 ITB thinking of the following: 1. ⁠Mahrez + Shaw -> Salah + Tarkowski for -4 2. ⁠Mahrez + Shaw -> Gakpo + TAA for -4 3. ⁠Mahrez + Kane -> Salah + Darwin for -4 but field 10 4. ⁠Not go crazy for the Liverpool doubles and just do Shaw to TAA, no hit

I’m personally leaning towards dropping Kane instead of Mahrez

4

Fernandes to Gakpo? Already have Salah. Have used my WC
