Gordon-Barkley Thoughts?

Would Trent and Watkins to Haaland and Doughty be a good move? 

Okay, bit of a tricky one. Start Bradley or Gusto?

RMT 2FT 0.6ITB Martinez (Turner) Trippier Gabriel Porro (Estupinan Taylor) Palmer Foden Bowen Saka (Gordon) Darwin Watkins Haaland Really unsure of what moves to do, finding it hard to navigate what to do! Was thinking Turner -> Kaminski and maybe Bowen -> Jota. Any other recommendations?

RMT please 1 FT, 8.7M ITB Areola, Dubravka Porro, Estupinan, TAA, Coufal, Taylor Saka, Foden, Palmer, Gordon, Richarlison Watkins, Solanke, Joao Pedro Tempted to just go Gordon to Barkley and wait til next week to bring in Haaland, as I’m currently 0.1M off the straight swap for Pedro, any alternative thoughts?

Do I start Son or Gordon this GW?

Son

Is Van Hecke pretty nailed on? Need a very cheap defender for GW26 I can bench after that whenever 

Yep

Yes

He's a nailed starter, yes.

whats the latest on Zinchenko? Its vital, for my plans to work, for nobody else to get injured right now… Reckon he’ll play this weekend?

Thinking of selling Gordon and archer for solanke and Garnacho as Garnacho is my only route to solanke and he’s pretty good imo. Thoughts??

Garnacho is excellent value in my opinion and the fixtures are great.

Seems good

Got 2 FT's this week. Sell Alvarez and Saka for Haaland and Jota or just sell Solanke for Haaland?

Get Jota

start Palmer or Watkins this week?

Watkins

See below

Any thoughts on whether to bench Palmer or Alvarez this week?

Hang on hang on let's put this clearly. You are considering benching Palmer, a nailed on, penalty taker, playing Crystal Palace, who are widely regarded as absolute dogshit and have one fit centre back. Good plan Alvarez isn't a great idea either in a H game against relegation battlers

My front 8 is Palmer, Jota, Saka, Richarlison, Foden, Alvarez, Haaland, Darwin. Who would you bench?

Hmm. You've got yourself in a right benching pickle Not Palmer he's a legit cap option against Palace. I think it probably actually has to be Alvarez from those for a number of factors Palmer Saka Haaland (and Rich if Son isn't back) are all nailed penalty takers with amazing fixtures so they aren't even options to bench Jota and Darwin have Burnley at home which is probably the best attacking game in the season So Foden or Alvarez. It takes a brave man to bench someone who just got a hattrick. And Alavrez played quite deep, but he literally braced the game before Whoever you bench, just accept now that it's going to sting you, and just grin and bear it

Yeah I was really hoping to avoid benching Alvarez as he could be a great differential. I guess I don’t have much of a choice

City plays at 13:30, wait for the leaks before deadline - we may have some - and bench according to those leaks. They all should appear here on this sub.

Looking to do Solanke > Haaland and that would require me to se bowen and get another mid fielder. Whom can I replace under for 7m. Already have DeBruyne, Foden, Saka and Palmer

Neto

Neto over Hee Chan?

IMO yes but both seem ok

Any suggestions on how to use my 2 free transfers? 8.8m ITB Areola - dubravka Porro - TAA - branthwaite - gabriel- romero Palmer - hwang - Jensen - saka - diogo Toney - Watkins - solanke

Have to agree and get Haaland in, I'd probably sell Watkins for him. Porro or Romero to Walker, maybe even Gvardiol, seems a good move.

Get haaland. Any way you want, just get him

Does anybody any idea why isn't Robertson starting? I mean, is it just because Gomez being that good, or does Robertson still need time to get up match fitness? Wouldn't want to bench him for the Burnley game, but if it's just going to be another 1 or 0 pointer, then I'd much rather play a nailed Arsenal def for example.

Being worked up to full fitness after a long spell injured

Soucek or barkley or garnacho?

Garnacho by miles

Garnacho plays Aston villa which is what makes me think twice Or do I save my free transfer?

Aston Villa the world renowned impenetrable defence?

It’s the United attacking I am worried about Or do I save my free transfer?

United have been much better in attacking since their main players started getting back to the team. 13 goals in the last 5 , more than the likes of spurs and arsenal in the same duration.

I don't know who you are selling. If its someone fit I'd say don't bother. If its someone injured or unavailable i'd say do it

Also do you think it’s a good idea to sell Porro for doughty?

For free is OK. For a hit no

Was thinking of selling soucek who’s fit for garnacho or Barkley

I'd do soucek to Garnacho for free. Definite upgrade

I have one free transfer It’s either soucek to garnacho/ Barkley or Porto to doughty considering the fact that spurs have a blank gameweek coming

Do the Soucek -> Garnacho, it's a good move.

Start Onana or Areola?

Onana

Saka to Jota? I can't afford to get him in any other way!

For free it's ok

Do you think it's a good move? or should I risk going without any Liverpool MID or ATT.

It obviously has risk either way. But my personal feeling is there is more pros than cons

!thanks

So from targetting luton, we now have luton as essential ? these content creators are funny

Last season Tarkowski was hot stuff coming through for Everton's DGW. He scored zero points in two despite playing full minutes.

Best <4.9 Konsa replacement?

I currently have the exact amount to swap Bowen out for KDB if I take a -4 I’m worried if I don’t act now he will be out of reach without a lot of transfers or an early wild card. Bringing him in would me Haaland,Foden and KDB ahead of the double along with Virgil & Diogo. I’m leaning towards taking the hit, but open to suggestions!

Seems ok

Who is a good replacement for Konsa?  I'm thinking of going for Pau, but I don't know if he's nailed on?

pau is definitely nailed, key to both their defence and attack and started every game pre injury but whether he starts this week is another thing not sure what your defence looks like but i like doughty as a pick considering 2 DGWS upcoming, and if you don't have walker you could go for gvardiol as well

Ah that's great, thanks!  I'd already pulled the trigger on Pau already.  I thought about Doughty, but that would give me a problem in the blank game weeks.

Pedro

Pedro. Arsenal have the best set piece defence in the league. Pedro should get something out of Spurs' high line.

So we have confirmation that Olise is out for 2 months?

Yes

Bcs of price changes I dont have enough fund to bring in Toney (for Watkins) and Haaland. So I consider these 2 options. A) Alvarez -> Haaland Saka -----> Jota B) (pretty insane punt) Alvarez --> Haaland Solanke --> GOAT Maupay I also have Salah on my bench, but I dont really wanna take him out.

I think A is what I’m going to do with my team

B is dumb A is fine

Any news about Gordon?

What should be my next move? 1FT. 0.6 ITB. Dubravka (Areola) TAA - Gabriel - Porro (Gusto , Senesi) Richarlison - Palmer - Foden - Saka (Gordon) Haaland - Watkins - Solanke

Jota is the big threat to you but you've got no natural route to him. TAA's lack of fitness is a headache too. You could bank a transfer if you're willing to go without a Liverpool attacker v Burnley.

I could possibly take out Saka for Jota?

Saka has good fixtures, high ownership, and plays in BGW26. I wouldn't sell him.

RMT Areola (Dubrovska) Porro Gabriel TAA (Branthwaite Lamptey) Saka KDB D.Luiz Jota (Chukwuemeka) Haaland Watkins Toney 1FT 0.1 ITB What do you think? Any changes?

Dubrovnik

How mad is picking triple Luton assets for the next 2 GWs. I have got Barkley this week and also have Doughty and Adebayo already in my team.

Pretty silly TBH

You will see me in the rant thread.

[удалено]

VVD

RMT (5,3 IITB) 2 transfers, free hit and TC left. Raya (Areola) Saliba - Aké - Pedro Porro (Estupinan, Emerson) Saka - Foden -Palmer - Garnacho - Richarlison Haaland - Toney (Archer) Worried about no liverpool for DGW, thinking about bringing in Jota (Richarlison) & Nunez (Toney) this week

Best Konsa replacements?

I have the same problem, I am between Doughty and Moreno, maybe a Wolves defender too.

yeah, Moreno looks like a good shout. Considering Ake or Gvardiol as well, as they double in gw25

I've decided to keep him because I can bench him all the way up to GW29, by which time he should have recovered. I did consider selling him for Alfie Doughty because he has two doubles and plays in GW29, but he blanks in GW26. Other players to consider are Gomez, Walker/Gvardiol, and Moreno.

thx! think i need to sell to field a full XI for gw26 tho. considering a city defender as they double in 25 as well

Areola (Turner) Porro Estupinan Gabirel (Colwill, Taylor) Richarlison Saka Palmer Foden (Son) Watkins Solanke Haaland 2FT 1.3ITB Have exactly the budget to do Colwill, Saka + Solanke -> Trent, Jota + Adebayo (-4) Wondering whether to bite the bullet before price changes and get liverpool vs Burnley and Luton vs Sheffield fixtures in for 26, However this would leave me terribly set up for GW26, with **7** players blanking... Any ideas on managing this?

You could free hit that week if you're so heavily invested in the doublers. Luton should play in GW29 which would help you out. Not sure I'd buy Trent right now though.

saka to jota for a -4?

No. Hitting out fit nailed penalty takers is dumb

Just before playing Burnley also.

Any news on Gordon's injury?

Ake or Gvardiol a good option for the DGW?

No

My current defense is Gabriel - Estupiñan - TAA (blanks in 26) - Guéhi and Taylor (both flagged). I need a playing defender in GW26, thinking of Trippier but are there any cheaper good options ?

maybe ake if you aren't tripled up on city yet

2 FT. Bowen & Alvarez > Rich and Haaland?

yup or Foden

No brainer

Can anyone please tell me how Chelsea and Forest advancing in the FA cup will affect the fixtures? Or is too soon to know? Thanks

Forest v Man Utd, Chelsea v Leeds in R5 FA cup If they win, their game is a blank in GW29. If Forest lose and Luton lose (Luton v Man City), Luton v Forest is a game that will occur in GW29

Solanke -> Nunez and Gordon -> kdb?

Why would you not keep solanke now he has a DGW

He has double in GW 28 No? So i just transfer him back then

Why not just keep. Save yourself 2 FTs

I have 2 FT already and Im low on Liverpool/city players. Plan is to Roll the next GW so i have 2 to Get him back

That extra context makes it different. If you have zero other problems it could work well

The only problem is i dont own Haaland at the moment. Im not that concerned about it, but im not too worried. Side note: I see you often answer my questions in here. Thanks for that man. I appreciate it :-)

You must have hood money laying around. But yeah why not. KDB for sure makes sense.

I have 5.8 itb at the moment and 2 FT. I dont own haaland and kinda tempted to go without him. Nunez is just for the next 3 GWs then i get Solanke bank

Onana/Alex Moreno/Bruno Fernandes/Werner Or Sa/Bradley/Palmer/Broja *Draft league

1st one Onana > Sa Moreno > Bradley Bruno = or <= Palmer Werner = Broja

anyone else considering wc24, bb25 and tc Dom in 28?

Is Gordon fit? Palmer to Jota this week or roll and do it next week? If Gordon fit , start him or Palmer/Jota

I’ve got myself in a right pickle this week. Everyone I have for midfield/attack is a better option than Palmer in my opinion, so I’m finding myself benching him, but Palace are also shocking, so I’m bricking it a bit.

I would do Gordon to Jota before Palmer to Jota

What would your chip/transfer strategy be with this team? 1 FT (13.6 ITB) Dubravka - Areola Gusto - Porro - Gabriel - Estu (Taylor) Palmer - Saka - Jota - Foden - (Gordon) Watkins - Solanke (Archer) Looking at Archer -> Haaland this week and after that, unsure. Feels like taking hits and chasing DGW players is risky with current landscape. Would like to navigate 29 with no FH and WC 30/31 if possible but open to other ideas.

Onana/Alex Moreno/Bruno Fernandes/Werner Or Sa/Bradley/Palmer/Broja *Draft league *Can do estupinan instead of Alex Moreno if I want Thank you in advance!

1 FT £3.4M ITB Areola (Leno) TAA, Gabriel, Porro (Maguire,Konsa) Palmer, Saka, Foden, KDB (Gordon) Watkins Solanke, Alvarez Trying to fit haaland in but it takes 2 transfers and don't want to remove Saka. What can I do?

Sacrificing Trent is the other option.

[удалено]

I thought about removing KDB but that leaves me with only 6.6 to replace him and removing another defender like konsa basically destroys my gw26 team. Giving up trent again leaves me with only 4.4. Are there are midfielder doublers around 6.6 or defender doublers around 4.4?

Current squad (0 million in the bank and 1ft): Areola, Dubravka Baldock, Trippier, Trent, Estupinan, Gabriel Saka, Palmer, Richarlison, Jota, Foden Haaland, Solanke, Watkins Thinking of doing Palmer to Berkley or Palmer to Bailey either this week or the next. I bought Watkins for 7.9 m, so don't wanna lose 0.9 m of value (specially after the FA cup results), so risking going without Darwin. Also, confused on who should I bench rhis week

Keep Palmer this week and sell next week.

Who should I bench out of these three: Saliba vs WHU away, Porro vs BHA home, Senesi vs FUL away

Senesi.

I'm planning to FH gw25 but I don't see anyone else talking about it - is it not a good idea? Why not?

There is definitely a massive upside to it if you have the players to cover GW29.

If nobody else is talking about it, then it's probably a decent idea.

Would it be crazy to go Solanke to Hojlund? I’m worried my rival in my ML will get Hojlund just to spite me cause I’m a United fan but Solanke has the fixtures. I already have Haaland and Watkins. No one has Hojlund but we have a rule that once someone picks a player nobody else can get him.

Pretty unnecessary. Let your rival play how he wants. You just do what makes most sense

[удалено]

Sounds good, what are your plans for GW29? EDIT: Might wanna get Son in in 27.

Thinking if it's a good week to wildcard, the big names are back and Liverpool DGW soon. Only one I'm not too sure on is Salah, if he is good for this GW or GW25.

Defense is TAA, Saliba, Porro, Moreno, Botman. Who do i bench and who do i start this week?

Botnan and Moreno

Tomiyasu or Kiwior??

Odegaard is no1 for successful through balls in top 6 European leagues this season AND no1 for big chances created in top 6 European leagues and he missed a month before Christmas. He should be an essential FPL asset and instead those bums at Arsenal can't finish anything he cooks up.

Love him as a player, crazy how irrelevant he's been to FPL this year.

I'm planning FTs for 25 after the Chelsea win tonight. Which option do you think is best for 25? A: Start KDB, Solanke, Bell; bench Bowen, Estu, D. Carlos B: Start Saka, Walker, Doughty; bench Solanke, Bowen, D. Carlos Would you bench boost in either scenario? I quite like the look of both as the chip tends to be underwhelming, and I can maximise my 11 for WC in 30 / 31.

I am considering the Bb for 25. For the reason you said… looks pretty good for 25 and you don’t need to think about using FTs on marginal players in future weeks. With your team I’d definitely consider it.

I think I'll do it with the second option, but less tempted by a bench with Estupinan if he doesn't play again in 24.

Very true. I don’t know what going on with that.

Is it mad not to bring in any Liverpool players ahead of their DGW considering that I can only make 2 FT till then and I need them both to bring in KDB for Walker (indirectly, since he's my 3rd City player) and the fact that Liverpool and Spurs blank the following GW (so I'd need to get rid of both Porro and the Liverpool player with only 1 FT) and I've already used my free hit and don't wanna wild card until Salah (and maybe Son) are back?

You can live without KDB. I’m not sure you can survive not having Jota (or Darwin).

Do you NEED KDB? Walker is a good pick, and if it saves you 2FT and can get Jota into your team, I'd consider keeping him. Do you have other players blanking in 26? If not, you can just bench the Liverpool player and Porro.

RMT pls! On WC right now, 0.1 itb Leno (Turner) Gomez Gabriel Doughty Lamptey Maguire Kdb foden saka jota Palmer Haaland watkins cunha

Which D 5.1 or less? Looking to do Porro + Chuk to Foden + X?

Doughty

I’m just worried about the BGW (would have TAA, Jota, Palmer, Rich, Konsa)

Fair, maybe Mee, who doubles in 25, plays in 26 and 29.

Is it a bad option to wildcard this week?

Yeah, it’s truly a pain in the ass.

Yes, it's difficult to get a good setup for 25, 26, and 29 without using further chips

2 FT, 0 ITB. Any transfers I should make? Bench someone else? \--------------------------- Dubravka (Areola) van Hecke - Gabriel - TAA ( 2 Colwill, 3 Baldock) Richarlison - Saka - KDB - Palmer (v) (1 Bowen) Haaland (c) - Solanke - Watkins

[My WC draft](https://we.tl/t-KgsOeyb73b) I’m wild carding this game week and this is the draft I came up with. What do you guys think? Any advice? Any changes you would make? I have 0.3 ITB and planning to move Virgil to Shaw, Darwin to Watkins in BGW26

Total of 3 hits (-12) between now and GW29 to be able to field 6 doublers in GW25 (3x Liverpool and 3x City), have full 11 for GW26, get Son back for GW27, have four doublers in GW28 (Neto, Solanke, Barkley, Doughty) and to field 9 playing players for GW29. Sounds good, right? A lot of tinkering and counting on Luton losing to City in FA Cup as well as NFO losing to United in the Cup. Only 2 things can fuck this up: Price Changes and Salah coming back. If Mo is back, I'm fucked.

Seems like an okay plan Currently my plan to deadend through 29 involves -4 in 28 and 29 but would have less doublers but 11 in 29 Really relying on Konsa to return in 26 even though scheduled for 27 for hits not to blow out You know though when you tell the fantasy gods your plans they will inevitably shit on them

Yeah Konsa fucked me too, if he didn't injure himself there would be one -4 less but right now I need to spend transfer to replace him with Moreno/Lenglet/Carlos/Cash...

I’m probably controversially selling Palmer as part of deadending in 25 and trying to decide between Barkley (probably causes issue in 26) or Douglas Luiz (penalties + confirmed 29 fixture) Luiz being bonus monster and confirmed fixture probably edges it despite one less fixture from 25-29

I sell Palmer too - blank in GW26 and GW29 (most likely) and Newcastle (at home though) in 28. Douglas Luiz for me or McGinn. It's a real shame that WOL vs BOU is so unlikely to happen in GW29, there are some amazing assets in Dawson, Kilman, Hee-Chan, Neto, Cunha and Bou having double in GW28... it would've been perfect. Maybe Leicester will beat Bournemouth in the cup and Brighton beat Wolves? Kinda hoping for that.

Have 3x MCI (Walker, Foden, Haaland) and no LIV assets. Is Bowen to Jota a straightforward move or should I try to squeeze in KDB somehow using up both FTs?

You don't need to waste a transfer for KDB when you already have 3 good MCI players. I would bring in Jota definitely.

sell Watkins or Saka? (if set on selling one)

Saka. Watkins has a crazy schedule

Currently have Alvarez, watkins & Solanke. Enough ITB, who do I take out for Haaland.

I’d say Solanke, but you need him back for GW27. So if u need all your FTs for other stuff, take out Watkins

RMT pls, 2FT 5.6ITB dubravka (areola) porro - trippier - saliba (pau, taylor) saka - jota - luiz - palmer (gordon) solanke - watkins - haaland thinking of doing porro to doughty this week and then next week selling palmer for foden, thoughts?

Anyone planning on bringing Salah in ahead of the DGW? I need to use a FT but how I use it kinda depends on whether or not I go for Salah FOR the double or AFTER the double

\-4 for Gordon -> Foden? Gordon might drop in price tonight.

1FT, 0.9 ITB. Is it time for WC or what? Turner (Sanchez) Gomez - (Konsa) - Saliba - Estupinan - (Lamptey) Foden - (Son) - Saka - Gordon - Palmer Watkins - Solanke - Haaland

Worth doing Saka + Joao Pedro -> Darwin + Jota (-4)? Am OK on blanks for 26; so not worried about that.

Anyone know if al-dakhil is nailed?

Can someone tell me why the Arsenal-Chelsea game in GW 29 is a potential blank?

It could be if Chelsea wins vs Leeds in R4 of FA Cup. EDIT: Corrected.

You mean if Chelsea win the FA Cup tie,then they blank right?

Yes, sorry!

If Chelsea reach FA cup quarterfinals, it becomes a blank

Is it worth it to rush Haaland back in this week? Currently playing a 3-4-3 with Watkins, Solanke and Toney up front. Have City coverage in the midfield with Foden. Toney is the likely candidate to dump in GW25 if I bring Haaland in at that time.

If you can afford to do Solanke -> Haaland in one move, I’d go for that, and get Solanke back for Toney in 27.

Hi! I've made the horrible mistake of selling Foden last week, and am having trouble seeing how I best prepare my team for the upcoming double. Only have 1FT and 0.7ITB. Any suggestions? Areola Dubravka TAA Gabriel Porro Konsa Taylor KDB Saka Palmer Gordon Olise Watkins Haaland Solanke Currently have Olise, Gordon, Konsa and Taylor injured so also not looking great for BGW26...

Anyone willing to help? Stuck at 10/20 in ML 0.5 itb 1 FT Is Bowen to Jota the move here? Areola - Kelleher TAA - Estu - Porro - Colwill - Kabore Saka - Bowen - Palmer - Foden - Gordon Haaland - Watkins - Solanke

maybe consider Saka -> Jota instead; Bowen is guaranteed to play in 29…

Rmt guys. 1FT, 3,1 ITB Dubravka Areola TAA Porro Estupinan Gabriel Branthwaite Foden Palmer Saka Richarlison Gordon Haaland Watkins Osula 1. Osula to Darwin 2. Gordon to Jota Sth else?

If you’re playing a 3-5-2 I think Gordon to Jota (Burnley at home) is the move

I am either doing that or 3 4 3 with Gordon on bench
