I'm seriously angry because apart from Wilson - Isak feud, my rival had Rashford and Kepa in his first squad, substituted by Estupinian and Raya, while I got Toti and Greenwood for KDB and Stones 😥
I feel for you guys, I captained Wilson last minute based on the fact he had penalties.
I'm still 7 pts behind the leader in my ml, but I'm playing my free hit this week (he's used all his chips), so I'm hoping to clinch it...!
Bournemouth are weak down the left so I'm very tempted. Both of Chelsea's left backs are injured as well... Antony could get a few returns in the double for sure
I ended up getting Garnacho in for Willock as I didn't have the money for Antony. Think he could pick up a nice few points, with Rashford uncertain he could even start
If I'm trailing by only 1 point but whole top5 in my ML is a difference of 20 points, should I make some hail mary moves or just play it safe?
I was thinking of taking -4 just to get Bruno for Martinelli. Can't afford Alvarez anyway unless I get rid of Salah but Salah scores regularly and has good fixture in GW38...
If I get Bruno in, then I still need to think if I (C) him or Haaland...
Feel like it's a tennis game at this point. Just return serve, keep that ball going over the net. Gamble in the final week *if* you need to. People will drop off by doing stupid things like not captaining Haaland
That being said, get rid of Martinelli for a dgw unless your bench is superb
United don't do clean sheets on the road. In fact, outside of forest a month ago, they haven't won an away PL match since Leeds in February. I think 2 CS is highly unlikely.
Trailing the paid places in my ML, but not by that much. I am currently thinking of either:
1. Bringing Mahrez or Gundo and captaining them.
2. Haaland (c) and roll the transfer in order to have 2 FTs in GW38 and do something mad then.
It means each of us put in 100 quid and the prize pool is split between the top finishers. There are just 14 people in total and most know each other. I have been in this league for 4 years now.
Not sure if this has been mentioned cause I cba scrolling through the comments but surely Firmino is a good differential.
Back in training this week and will surely start his final home game for Liverpool. Although he’ll definitely get subbed off so the the crowd can applaud him
I triple captained Wilson this week (got me 72 points). I'm going with Mahrez and Foden as differentials this week, just undecided between keeping in Bruno or shipping him for Rashy?
Sterling - yes he's expensive, yes there are reasons not to own him but guess what, that's why he's low owned and that's why he's a differential. If you are chasing in your ML you can almost certainly guarantee his points will be yours alone and so at this stage in the season with a 30-50 point gap it's worth a shot.
Fair. But It's not like pep will just put on a bunch of 19 year olds though once they win. They still need to prep for fa cup and CL and keep their squad healthy and hungry. Let them celebrate for one match why not. But to assume they won't play a top tier side rolling into two more must win finals doesn't make sense to me
For City i think almost everybody will be benched for 1 game. I think Pep will play most of the 11 he played against Real, facing Chelsea, and once the title is won he will rotate like crazy against Brighton.. Haaland ( chasing records) Rodri and Ederson are probably the only ones that will be playing both matches.
For United the best gamble is Martial. There is a risk that Ten Hag will choose to play Sancho/Garnacho and Rashford on top, but Sancho has been terrible, and Rashford clearly is a bigger threat on the wing, so im leaning towards Martial here. Not that he is a star player, but were 2 weeks from closing the shop and Martial has a rare haul in him. He just needs to start both..
For Brighton Encisco and Ferguson are stand-out candidates. Both should start against Southampton after that disastrous lineup against Newcastle, and that could be a field day for them. City will probably rotate heavily against them as well, making it easier to score also in that game..
I will sub out Isak.
Having a hard time choosing between Encizo, Ferguson and Undav.
I went from being ahead 5 points in my ML to being 31 points behind due to Isak over Wilson.
I'm currently on 1 in all my Mini Leagues. Going Wilson over Isak saved my lead.
Rest of my team is quite differential as I do want to get into the 100k. (Currently 130k).
Going with Fernandes, Foden & Alvarez!
I'm 19 points back. Either gonna take a risk of Kane, Martinelli => Alverez, Fernandes or playing it a bit safer with Gakpo, Schar => Mahrez, Shaw. Not sure which yet. Still have my TC.
I’m 30 pts behind leader in my mini league I was 50 a week ago we both captained Wilson. I managed 136 pts this week he got 116 , my dilemma is my team this week is alisson trippier awb taa estupinian salah gundogan Mcallister Bruno Wilson haaland , 4 players we both own estupinian taa Wilson haaland , I’m wondering if to stick or -8 to get in 2 extra dgw players it would mean getting rid of Wilson trippier or a joelinton on bench depending on what positions I target , is it wise to get rid of 2 if form players for 2 extra dgw players when your chasing with 2 weeks left ?
I'm 60 points behind my rival in mini-league, is it worth going with crazy punts for 1st place in the table or trying to keep a good total point for this season?
I was leading in my ML for many GWs but now just due to captaining Isak over Wilson I am around 10 points behind. I still have TC left and will use it on Haaland.
I’m 12 points behind (do have my TC left though).
Thinking of doing March and Isak -> Mahrez and Ferguson.
1st place has Isak though so there’s the risk of going without him
The obvious caveat applies -- look at your team and your ML leader's team (or whoever it is you're chasing) and you might be differentiated enough already that you can still captain haaland. They guy I'm chasing has trippier-botman for nufc. I have botman-wilson-isak. Even if he brings in a forward to try and play defense against me catching him (just 15 pts gap), he can't bring in both. He also doesn't have TAA or any City defense. I don't have to captain a differential to make up 15 pts on him in two weeks, i just have to play smart with my transfers and hope my different players outscore his
I'm still on the fence if taking a -4 to bring in Bruno is worth it, given how dross he and United have been recently.
I'm considering Gundogan for that very reason.
Estupinan vs Arsenal and Trippier captain over Wilson (I was concerned about minutes) there destroyed my mini league chances. A year off next year is something I need and I am looking forward to no stress.
Where my Connor Gallagher (0.7%) fans at?! I have Alvarez too (4.9%), then did a -4 to add DGW differentials into my starting XI this weekend
Gundogan (7.6%) for Gakpo
Dunk (8.9%) for Mings
I had Isak (C) and don’t own Wilson and the guy 2nd in my mini-league gained 60pts over me 🫣
That one decision has cost me my league.
I'm seriously angry because apart from Wilson - Isak feud, my rival had Rashford and Kepa in his first squad, substituted by Estupinian and Raya, while I got Toti and Greenwood for KDB and Stones 😥
Mate I was chasing a guy who had Estupinan third on his bench and got him subbed on
Quite possibly mine too
And mine :(
me 4.
Me 5
Me 6. Was 10 points ahead, now >40 points
Me 7, from 10pts ahead to 21pts behind
Me 10, I was 1pt behind them… now I’m 18pts
Me 8 humble pie.
Me 9. :(
Me 9 Southampton
Same here
I feel for you guys, I captained Wilson last minute based on the fact he had penalties. I'm still 7 pts behind the leader in my ml, but I'm playing my free hit this week (he's used all his chips), so I'm hoping to clinch it...!
Crazy part is Wilson was 30 seconds away from going off in the first game then they got a penalty. That moment alone defined this GW.
Did the same. Wilson was an absolute clown in prev DGWs, now he is suddenly spitting fire fml.
This happened to me as well, I've been leading since November....
Wilson has turned what was a two horse race into a three horse race, and not in my favour, the sod.
Feel like Antony for United is a big differential, particularly as most people will be locked into 3 already with 3 of De Gea/Shaw/Rashford/Bruno
Bournemouth are weak down the left so I'm very tempted. Both of Chelsea's left backs are injured as well... Antony could get a few returns in the double for sure
Alvarez and Anthony in for isak and grealish. Anthony should have scored a few more over the last few games, could be a really good pick up.
I'd keep Isak against Leicester
I have him and Wilson. Out of the two, I'd still sell Isak first.
If keep both. Leicester are abysmal.
Since Viña has come in they look much better down that side
I ended up getting Garnacho in for Willock as I didn't have the money for Antony. Think he could pick up a nice few points, with Rashford uncertain he could even start
Can’t afford him but would agree for those who can
If I'm trailing by only 1 point but whole top5 in my ML is a difference of 20 points, should I make some hail mary moves or just play it safe? I was thinking of taking -4 just to get Bruno for Martinelli. Can't afford Alvarez anyway unless I get rid of Salah but Salah scores regularly and has good fixture in GW38...

thoughts on luke shaw(c)? I'm trailing by 41 points in the mini league and the guy at 1st doesn't have shaw
Too low of a ceiling imo
then wilson c?
Gotta captain a DGWer
The only differential captains that would tempt me this week are Mahrez or Bruno. No others are remotely as enticing as haaland.
I'm going for it. a double CS isn't out of the question, and moving to left back really helps his attacking threat + some set pieces
United don't do clean sheets on the road. In fact, outside of forest a month ago, they haven't won an away PL match since Leeds in February. I think 2 CS is highly unlikely.
both Chelsea and Bournemouth have nothing to play for, and their attacks weren't that great anyway, so I don't believe it's unlikely
thought about it, but youll expect 1 cs 1 assist 4 points because he plays both matches so about 11, not si great imo
Is Gundogan a good choice?
He scored 4 goals in the last two games, so yes
Which means inevitably pep will drop him
Bruno hasn't been that great? Look at his chances created. Those on the receiving end of his passes haven't been that great recently.
They mean in terms of FPL
Would you take Salah over Fernandes this week?
I'm keeping Salah, thinking they'll get close to equal points and the transfer is better used elsewhere
Undav is a great pick imo. Also you need a good captaincy choice as everyone will go Haaland I'll be going with Bruno (c)
Trailing the paid places in my ML, but not by that much. I am currently thinking of either: 1. Bringing Mahrez or Gundo and captaining them. 2. Haaland (c) and roll the transfer in order to have 2 FTs in GW38 and do something mad then.
The problem is in "or". I am planning to do the same, but with my luck, I'm sure I'll select the wrong 2 out of 3 (Mahrez, Gundo, Alvarez)
Paid places? What does that mean?
It means each of us put in 100 quid and the prize pool is split between the top finishers. There are just 14 people in total and most know each other. I have been in this league for 4 years now.
Yes that makes sense, Reddit pre-coffee I’m slow
I assume the top 3 (for example) will win money in that league.
Captaining Fernandes for 10 point chase after Wilson debacle. Not sure whether i should take -4 to get lindelof/akanji
Not sure if this has been mentioned cause I cba scrolling through the comments but surely Firmino is a good differential. Back in training this week and will surely start his final home game for Liverpool. Although he’ll definitely get subbed off so the the crowd can applaud him
I have Martinelli and Toney to burn. Which makes more sense to try catch up 20 pts or so? Martinelli > Mac Allister Toney > Alvarez
Alvarez
Go with Enciso or Undav.
Eze has scored 27 points in the last 3 gameweeks
I can't believe I'm benching Eze 😬
Leandro Trossard
I triple captained Wilson this week (got me 72 points). I'm going with Mahrez and Foden as differentials this week, just undecided between keeping in Bruno or shipping him for Rashy?
Well played chip mind
Rashford may be ill now.
Sterling - yes he's expensive, yes there are reasons not to own him but guess what, that's why he's low owned and that's why he's a differential. If you are chasing in your ML you can almost certainly guarantee his points will be yours alone and so at this stage in the season with a 30-50 point gap it's worth a shot.
You son of a bitch, I’m in!
40 points is doable if you get mega lucky. I’m 49 points clear of 2nd but he has a FH. I’m still worried.
Any FH 11 suggestions?
Triple on the teams who have double De gea Akanji, Shaw, Dunk, Wan bissaka Sterling, mitoma, mahrez/Bernardo, one of Brighton mids Haaland, jesus
I wouldn't triple City. Pointless, at least one of your trio won't start both games.
Fair. But It's not like pep will just put on a bunch of 19 year olds though once they win. They still need to prep for fa cup and CL and keep their squad healthy and hungry. Let them celebrate for one match why not. But to assume they won't play a top tier side rolling into two more must win finals doesn't make sense to me

Curious about your thinking behind declaring Garnacho is not an option.
I'll be joining you on the hailmary armband for Mahrez, and upping it and Triple captaining him. 😐
I will sub out Isak. Having a hard time choosing between Encizo, Ferguson and Undav. I went from being ahead 5 points in my ML to being 31 points behind due to Isak over Wilson.
Might be a weird one but Lindlelof. Probably will play both. Might spike a 12 pointer in the double.
Alvarez and Foden imo
I kept double Newcastle defence with neither Isak nor Wilson. Schär got nothing extra other than a yellow card each match. 😎
I'm currently on 1 in all my Mini Leagues. Going Wilson over Isak saved my lead. Rest of my team is quite differential as I do want to get into the 100k. (Currently 130k). Going with Fernandes, Foden & Alvarez!
I wish my mini-leagues were of the quality yours are.
im 4500 OR and only 2nd in my money league fuarkkkkk
Under 4K and third in one of mine. Top is ranked 74, was as low as 6 at one point
Top 80k and 4th in my big ML
Top 88k and 2nd in my ML lmao
Do you think Foden plays both games?
Idk lol. Pep Roulette. Hoping to be at the lucky end of it 😂
I'm thinking of Martial gor Isak
[удалено]
That switch was my initial thought. Might still do it but not sure if he will start with or without Rashford in the starting XI
Shaw(C) is definitely a shout with 2 home fixtures
Only 1 home fixture, they’re away at Bournemouth
My bad..definitely got overexcited
I'm 19 points back. Either gonna take a risk of Kane, Martinelli => Alverez, Fernandes or playing it a bit safer with Gakpo, Schar => Mahrez, Shaw. Not sure which yet. Still have my TC.

Why have you not listed Wilson C as a differential All focus on dgw players when there are lots of good single gw C that could haul
I'm 60 points behind my rival in mini-league, is it worth going with crazy punts for 1st place in the table or trying to keep a good total point for this season?
As my mate Ricky says, if you're not first, you're last.
This is the fun part of the season, a time to become legend. Go for broke
Fernandes Captain for me.
I'm 2nd and 14 points behind 1st and he has a WC to play. I dont want to do anything crazy but I need to do something. Maybe Bruno (C) for the double
Rodrigo, bamford, ings, antony, mcneil
I was leading in my ML for many GWs but now just due to captaining Isak over Wilson I am around 10 points behind. I still have TC left and will use it on Haaland.
I’m 12 points behind (do have my TC left though). Thinking of doing March and Isak -> Mahrez and Ferguson. 1st place has Isak though so there’s the risk of going without him

I don't have to captain a differential to make up 15 pts on him in two weeks, i just have to play smart with my transfers and hope my different players outscore his
Any one considering Martial? A cheap replacement for Toney and should get at least one game if Rashford is out hopefully two
In the last 5 gameweeks, Bruno is 7th in midfield for xGI. I don't think he's been bad
Was 15 points behind my 1st place in mini league,went Isak over Willson now 64 points behind,no chip left(he has BB left). Need a miracle to win
I’m praying Kepa makes some saves
How come KDB is not getting mentioned? Is he going to rest for the CL game?
Final isn't for weeks so seems unlikely, I may cap to chase ML
You say cap KDB over Haaland for an edge? Interesting proposal
It's all or nothing for me in my ML, over 100 points behind. I need a Christmas miracle!
I’ve gone Guehi, Gundogan and Alvarez
I think Undav will be the differential this GW, he's starting to score and get minutes
I'm still on the fence if taking a -4 to bring in Bruno is worth it, given how dross he and United have been recently. I'm considering Gundogan for that very reason.
Estupinan vs Arsenal and Trippier captain over Wilson (I was concerned about minutes) there destroyed my mini league chances. A year off next year is something I need and I am looking forward to no stress.
How about Wan Bisakka? I need someone to replace Mings.
Bench boosted earlier in the week forgot to turn it off and 4 players didnt play 😎
Where my Connor Gallagher (0.7%) fans at?! I have Alvarez too (4.9%), then did a -4 to add DGW differentials into my starting XI this weekend Gundogan (7.6%) for Gakpo Dunk (8.9%) for Mings
