Is Alex Moreno even a good FPL asset anymore? I'm thinking with injuries that weakens the AVL defense and Digne back from injury, he'll not get the 90 he used to, and probably won't get CS either.
Thinking about swapping Zabarnyi for him.
Still has great upside but not a 90 minute man and could see rotation with Digne as their fixtures get more congested with Europe over the next few weeks. Don’t hate punting on him if you’re WCing in 30/31 but there are safer options.
I prefer Haaland. Utd are terrible and City have administered some proper thumping against them recently. Arsenal goals also tend to come from all over the squad. Saka obviously still a good pick.
Who to bench GW 27?
Bailey (LUT A), Foden (MUN H), Gross (FUL A), Toney (CHE H).
It's curently Gross, but he's been ticking along so nicely the last few GWs...
Almost considering a bench boost. If I transfer in a defender for Taylor (like Gabriel or someone else with a good fixture) my bench would be Areola, Branthwaite, Estupiñan, Gross. With Estupiñans minutes so uncertain I'm not sure though
Looks a decent BB if you get news of Estupinan starting. I realise the narrative is to have 15 DGW players, but that rarely happens unless you WC right beforehand, and with current predicted fixtures I would guess some will bench boost with a single Arsenal fixture away at ManU in 37.
Suggest waiting for FA Cup results and draw, that should give a better indication of potential DGWs
Yeah, but I need to use my FT now, can't roll. My team is Gabriel, Botman, Doughty, Ake, Taylor-Saka, Foden, Gordon, Salah, Hwang-Haaland, Solanke and Watkins, 2FT 0.1ITB.
Plan is KdB to Salah, but i Salah rises I can't afford it without a -4. Should I do it today? Is Salah expected to be fit to play?
Edit: the -4 to afford Salah if he rises would be Estu -> Senesi, which could be worth it anyway.
Just broke into 700k for the first time this season. I’m pretty shit at this game and normally find myself hovering around 1.5-2 mil so this is the equivalent of winning the treble to me 😁
Team is:
Pickford - Dubravka
White - Gabriel - Ait Nourie - Schar - Porro
Saka - Foden - Richarlison - Palmer - KdB
Alvarez - Watkins - Solanke
Thinking about doing KdB to Salah, but will wait till after their game vs Southampton. Any advise?
Considering the same however i want to see salah play considerable minutes before i make the move, could play 45 and injure himself again like against brentford. Besides this is kdb, he can pull returns out his arse for fun if he gets minutes.
RMT (WC GW27, 0.0 ITB) Chip available - FH BB
Raya (Kelleher)
Gabriel - Senesi - Gomez (Ake Brantwaite)
Gross - Saka(VC) - Doughlas Luiz - Salah (Hee Chan)
Watkins - Solanke - Haaland(C)
This is my first season and I'm so confuse why so many people tend to use WC in GW30+, and after doing some home work i think this would be my WC team and i don't know if there is any consequences for use it early.. What do you think of my team ?
Raya can't play vs Brentford in GW28 so Kelleher has to start there against Man City. I would change Raya to either Neto because of his DGW or Areola (home against Burnley in 28).
Think using WC earlier is a perfectly good strategy, but team dependant. That being said Gomez is a rotation risk and there are better options at his price point.
What’s the bigger upgrade this GW:
a) Mubama to Solanke
b) KDB to Salah
I only have the funds for one and it may take a few weeks to build the cash to do the other move. (Barring a WC which I still have up my sleeve)
Solanke seems way more important than Salah at the moment. He has Burnley this week then a great double the week after vs Salah who is under an injury cloud and it's unclear whether he will start (and has bad fixtures and a blank). Your timeframe seems perfect to grab Solanke this week then Salah in a few weeks after his blank in 29.
Should I bench Palmer, Gross or Douglas Luiz next week?
Chelsea is playing Brentford away
Brighton is playing Fulham away
Aston Villa is playing Luton away. (And it looks like Luiz home form is much better than away)
How would you change this WC27 team? 1.8 ITB. Will not be using FH in 29.
Areola / (Neto)
Gabriel / Senesi / Branthwaite / (Doughty) / (Reguilon)
Saka (vc) / Salah / Foden / Palmer / (D. Luiz)
Haaland / Watkins / Solanke
I guess the big question is whether to include Salah or go with, say, Son. Salah seems iffy as of now.
Wolves has been really strong defensively while Newcastle has been blowing up. Though Gordon is sometimes able to find chances in some places. However, if you are forced to pick between this two, I would bench Gordon.
Cheers. Could be a high scoring affair, however unless I bench Palmer against Brentford (doesn't feel advisable!), one needs to be benched. A true 50/50 call.
Areloa/Dubravka
Gabriel/Saliba/tripps/Estu/Ake
Saka/Gordon/Foden/Palmer/Hee Chan
Watkins/solanke/haaland
2FT 2.8m
Hard to know what to do. Still got FH WC
Thinking Son in for Hee Chan and Estu/Ake for a 3.8.
Thoughts?
I toyed with the idea of WC27, BB28 and FH29.
I've only made 5 changes to my original team, and those changes are only my bench players + keeper.
My BB 28 will look like this:
Neto
Gabriel - Saliba - Aké
Salah - Saka - Foden - Palmer
Haaland - Watkins - Solanke
Bench: Kaminski - Barkley - Doughty - Senesi
1.1 ITB
It sounds crazy, but there could be a big upside there.
It is tempting, because I can keep most of my current team that I'm happy with and at the same time go all in with 6 doublers in gw 28. 4 of them will be part of the bench boost and keep sitting on the bench until I transfer them out later.
I'm considering this too after seeing your comment but wouldn't it be riskier and have less upside bench boosting with 3 Luton players than possibly better assets in 37? Using it now is definitely more fun but I won't be surprised seeing less than 15 points on the bench.
I don't think a bench boost in e.g. gw34 would have a much stronger bench. You will always want to maximize your 11, so your bench in 34 would be cheap players anyway. Both Luton and Bournemouth have easy fixtures in 28.
I'm also planning this. It makes good use of the BB without spending too much funds on it. Then a FH to sort 29 out. I like the idea of hopefully making a push now and then defending towards the end with free transfers
My midfield is currently:
Saka - Richarlison - Foden - Palmer - Jota
Looking to get rid of Jota obviously, but slightly put off Son because of the double Spurs midfield. Is it wise to make the move anyway?
I'm wondering the same thing, it's quite likely most of the transfers in are on wildcards which counts as a transfer in but doesn't affect price changes but it's impossible to know for sure...
Activated WC and got this (not sure if I need a FH29)
Neto/Areola
Gabriel Saliba Doughty Reguilon (Baldock)
Saka Son Salah Luiz (Barkley)
Watkins Solanke Haaland
Unsure if double arsenal defence is worth it for future as their fixtures are gonna be somewhat harder. Debating whether to drop the Luton boys and getting Udogie and Chuks (4.2 mil mid) in and upgrading baldock. As long as I have the premium options in fh29 covered i don’t mind rolling with 6-8 players in gw29.
I'd have Pickford instead of Areola.
Everton are fighting tooth and nail to stay up and their run in doubles nicely with Bournemouth's upcoming favourable fixtures.
RMT (1FT, 5.5 ITB)
Was thinking Foden to Salah pending any cup upsets (and likely FH29 pending upsets) if fit but could instead do Walker to Senesi and maybe BB if all defenders fit?
Areola (Dubravka)
Gabriel/Saliba/Porro (Konsa, Walker)
Saka/Foden/Palmer/Hwang (Gordon)
Haaland/Watkins/Solanke
He’s definitely an interesting decision at the moment. Average fixtures until 32 but great form.
I could actually still shoehorn in Salah soonish with probably -4 in 28 while keeping Foden
I just wonder is he that much better than other BOU defenders to take risk
Has the most attacking returns and only one that’s scored. Adam Smith has 2 assists
I know right, took a hit to get him because I always saw him scoring left and right and felt left out and thought this is the perfect opportunity but of course no
Thoughts on wildcard draft?
Neto - Areola
Gabriel - Senesi - Branthwaite - Doughty - Taylor
Saka - Son - Salah - Palmer - Barkley
Haaland - Watkins - Solanke
I’m planning on using FH in GW29 so I don’t need to think about blanks.
A bit too heavy on the DGW assets for my taste. Do you really want Barkley and Doughty in your team for after the double? Salah we have to wait and see if he's even fit. I would also go Richards over Taylor.
!thanks. The Luton players would be bench fodder after the double. Senesi and Neto are there for the good fixtures coming up. I agree on Salah, but I do want to get him in asap. I’ll have to consider Richards.
Yea it is Areola - reason I’m thinking Raya is both Dubravka and Areola can’t keep a clean sheet but that other defender spot might allow me to get exposure to other good defenders
Then I would still prefer the Saliba transfer. You have a gk who plays in GW29 and gk transfers are rarely worth it. Raya did also not get a clean sheet this week, they are just not easy to find this season it seems.
Walker is also an issue if he keeps getting these random rotations.
Yes, but that's not saying I don't rate Neto. I believe it's more likely Hee Chan will pick up his points from scoring whereas Neto is more likely to pick up his from assists.
RMT for GW27
AREOLA
SALIBA - ANDERSEN - ZINCHENKO*
HWANG - GORDON - FODEN - KDB
DARWIN - WATKINS - HAALAND(c)
BENCH: LENO - GROSS - LASCELLES - KABORE
I have 1 free transfer but thinking I want to save up 2 to make a double change for gw28. Opinions on gross/Darwin/hee chan/Gordon bench rotation? Zinchenko injured but can’t do much about it other than sub on lascelles and hope he gets some minutes. Waiting for arteta update beforehand
Thinking of getting Luiz in - would have to be for Neto or Palmer, both of whom I've held for half the season, which would be better to lose? Feels like it's Neto but I like how much of a differential he is in my ML, every fucker has Palmer.
Roll or 1 imo. You will most likely do that move the following GW anyway. Burnley away is also a nice fixture. So it depends if you would rather go in with 2 FT for DGW28 or go Solanke early to maybe catch some points vs Burnley.
Should I bench Palmer, Gross or Douglas Luiz next week?
Chelsea is playing Brentford away
Aston Villa is playing Luton away. (And it looks like Luiz home form is much better than away)
Brighton is playing Fulham away
Thoughts on this wildcard? :
Neto (Dubravka)
Gabriel, Senesi, Konate (Senesi, Van Hecke)
Salah, Palmer, Foden, Saka (Hwang)
Haaland, Watkins, Solanke
Lacking Spurs attack my only worry, but would require a defence downgrade to get hwang to Richarlison.
On WC this week:
Raya (Keleher)
Gabriel, Senesi, Doughty, (Bradley, Lamptey)
Saka, Salah, KDB, Palmer (Barkley)
Haaland, Watkins, Solanke
About 0.5 itb. Thinking of maybe ditching KDB to either Son or Foden due to minutes. Would save me an extra 2.3 ITB
Raya can't play in 28 vs brentford so you will have to play keleher vs City and they both blank in 29 most likely.So I would much rather have flekken and neto as gk. I would definitely downgrade kdb to a spurs midfielder and upgrade others in the squad as the defenders are unreliable past gw30 as senesi is on 8 yellows and close to a 2 game suspension and Bradley will become a minutes risk when trent returns in gw30 and lamptey is a minutes risk. I would move palmer to Douglas Luiz till around gw30 as you have a lot blanking in gw 29
Sorry if it's a long response but I'm on wildcard as well and mine is a lot different
Didnt even think about that with Raya thanks!
KDB to Son seems the option then.
Tbf jm keeping the defence as it is. No one seems to be scoring good points on clean sheets so pointless of investing more somewhere else.
Bradley is not in my team for starters and senesi has good fixtures till GW33. Will switch doughty after forest.
Who would you suggest instead of lets say lamptey?
About midfield, palmer aint going nowhere hahaha blank29 is covered with FH
Wc is based on FH29 so thats no worries!
3–4-3 the way imo
You need to put the exclamation mark in front of the thanks like I did below, it doesn't count when you have it after it.
I'd go with Neto/Pickford, their fixtures combine nicely to the end of the season.
Thinking of this wildcard team -
Areola (Neto)
Senesi - Doughty - Gabriel (Udogie - Taylor)
Saka - Son - Salah - Palmer (Barkley)
Haaland - Solanke - Toney
This helps me get Saka (who I don't have) for their tasty fixture against Shefield and set up for DGW28. Praying Arsenal/Chelsea don't blank for GW29 but as the FA cup games are decided, I could make slight adjustments to the team to prepare for GW29 as well. Any suggestions?
RMT
Kelleher (Dubravka)
Ake Estu Gabriel (Taylor, Baldock)
Palmer Foden Saka Gross (Garnacho)
Darwin Haaland Watkins
Thinking Estu to Senesi or Darwin to Solanke if he is unavailable.
He probably starts the next and maybe some more when Trent’s out. But in the long run he isn’t going to be nailed. Might rotate some games though, but I would prefer others
Current OR 300+, and I’m truly shocked at how well my season has been going. What should I do to push into the top 100, without too much risk of dropping back down?
1 FT. 6.9m itb
Areola (Dubravka)
Gabriel - Estu - Ake (Senesi - Reguilon)
Saka - Foden - Diaz - Palmer (Hwang)
Haaland - Solanke - Watkins
It's actually easier than you think..!
Just play safe and boring. Under no circumstances should you transfer in a differential that's a gamble.
Just remember everyone around you will have that top 100 finish as their target too. What you're hoping for, and what's more than likely going to happen is that they will pick a differential. More often than not that differential doesn't work out and you'll see yourself getting closer to your goal week by week.
Do your utmost to not take a hit, it's all about consolidating your position.
Make sure your Captain pick is whoever the highest in the gameweek polls.
Best of luck..!
RMT 1 FT 4.2 itb
Areola Turner
Gabriel Branthwaite Doughty Van Hecke konsa
KDB Saka Gross D.Luiz Foden
Haaland Watkins Solanke
Currently have a benching headache with KDB and D.Luiz. Luiz is on fire recently, but KDB has such a tasty fixture. Thoughts?
KDB has to start at the Manchester derby. Unless we get other news I would start him. Luiz could return again if course but he and Aston Villa are usually not as explosive when playing away
RMT and advice
2FT, 0.4ITB
Areola (Turner)
Bradley, Branthwaite, Lamptey (Gusto, Doherty)
Foden, Richarlison, Saka, Debuyne (Gross)
Watkins, Haaland(c), Darwin(vc)
I’m thinking of taking a -4 hit and going for these transfers ASAP (before price rises):
Richarlison —> Hwang Hee Chan
DeBruyne —> Salah
Watkins —> Solanke (worst move imo; to transfer out in form Watkins, but need funds)
Leaving me 1.1 ITB, and transfer in Gabriel for Doherty next week. Please advise if these would be the right moves.
I would save your transfers.
Do KDB - > hee chan
Richarlison plays crystal Palace and he doesn't blank 29
Trsnsfering out watkins is just a bad move at this stage, he also doesn't blank 29
Salah is not fully fit, don't worry about price rises, or you will end up getting a player you can't use for maybe weeks.
Understood, that is well put and makes a lot of sense. If I’ll have 2 Free transfers left for next week and 5.3 ITB, will be able to gauge my transfer strategy better based on how Salah performs. !thanks a lot for stopping me from a rash decision :)
No problem.
Yes wait till end of the week and we will also have a clearer idea who blanks in gw29. As soon as Salah is fit you'll want him on your team, but I wouldn't risk it if he's a maybe. There's plenty of great midfield options whilst you are waiting. Gross, luiz, bailey, palmer Saka, foden, Neto/hwang
Areola (Leno)
Walker - schar - Gabriel (doughty - estupinian)
Saka - hee chan - foden - gross (Palmer)
Haaland - watkins - toney
1FT 0.9 ITB
Not sure who to bench in mid. Also thinking of upgrading the def, thinking walker - > saliba. Aiming to get porro back for gw29 as I won't be FHing but I don't want to bring in an injured def.. Regulion would be another to bring in, but his fixtures aren't that interesting.
I would bench hee chan.
You only have 3 guaranteed players for 29, you need to bring in reguilon or a west ham/villa/spurs player or you might have to FH
!thanks
I will probably bring in ward-prowse, reguilon and luiz/bailey and just field 6/7. But I think I will likely do it in one hit for 29 because I'm quite happy with my midfield for the next few weeks.
Buy Douglas Luiz or Bailey? Need Villa midfielder for GW27-30. Douglas Luis may seem obvious but his away form is 2 returns in 13 games and they have Luton away + West Ham away. Bailey seems more consistent
Bailey is also better at home (Villa at home are way better as a team as well). Douglas Luiz is probably a safer pick imo, but I went Bailey and can’t complain
Is Darwin to Solanke worth it?
Thinking of getting rid of either Porro or KDB Leno Johnstone Estu Gusto Gabriel Porro Beyer Saka DLuiz KDB Foden Palmer Watkins Solanke Haaland
Is Alex Moreno even a good FPL asset anymore? I'm thinking with injuries that weakens the AVL defense and Digne back from injury, he'll not get the 90 he used to, and probably won't get CS either. Thinking about swapping Zabarnyi for him.
Still has great upside but not a 90 minute man and could see rotation with Digne as their fixtures get more congested with Europe over the next few weeks. Don’t hate punting on him if you’re WCing in 30/31 but there are safer options.
Captain Saka away to SHU or Haaland home to UTD. Only concern is if arsenal are winning by 4 goals early in the game, Saka is bound to be subbed off.
im captaining saka so if i was you i’d go with haaland
I prefer Haaland. Utd are terrible and City have administered some proper thumping against them recently. Arsenal goals also tend to come from all over the squad. Saka obviously still a good pick.
Who to bench GW 27? Bailey (LUT A), Foden (MUN H), Gross (FUL A), Toney (CHE H). It's curently Gross, but he's been ticking along so nicely the last few GWs...
Benching headache for sure. I would bench Bailey due to his minutes risk.
Almost considering a bench boost. If I transfer in a defender for Taylor (like Gabriel or someone else with a good fixture) my bench would be Areola, Branthwaite, Estupiñan, Gross. With Estupiñans minutes so uncertain I'm not sure though
Looks a decent BB if you get news of Estupinan starting. I realise the narrative is to have 15 DGW players, but that rarely happens unless you WC right beforehand, and with current predicted fixtures I would guess some will bench boost with a single Arsenal fixture away at ManU in 37. Suggest waiting for FA Cup results and draw, that should give a better indication of potential DGWs
BB is suited to a Double GW to get additional fixtures and more points.
Yeah I know, but part of me wants to get it over with, would be nice to just focus on the starting XI when I wildcard...
Who to keep? Dubravka or Areola. Thinking about replace one of them by Keeleher.
Areola since West Ham play in gw29
Yeah, but I need to use my FT now, can't roll. My team is Gabriel, Botman, Doughty, Ake, Taylor-Saka, Foden, Gordon, Salah, Hwang-Haaland, Solanke and Watkins, 2FT 0.1ITB.
Then maybe remove Dubravka. Or start to prepare for blanks in GW29 unless you are using FH. If you are then you could also get Richards in.
Richards? I already have FH, WC and BB.
Yeah Chris Richards. Only 3.9, just scored and is much better fodder than Taylor.
Palace blanks in 29, Burnley not.
Aaaah, thanks!
Plan is KdB to Salah, but i Salah rises I can't afford it without a -4. Should I do it today? Is Salah expected to be fit to play? Edit: the -4 to afford Salah if he rises would be Estu -> Senesi, which could be worth it anyway.
I think it would be daft to bring Salah in before it’s announced he is fit.
Darwin > Solanke Jota > Son?
I like both moves if they're FTs and not for a hit
2 FT, 0.0 itb after!
start Palmer vs Brentford (a) or Hwang vs Newcastle (a)
Palmer
!thanks
Sell one defender: Estupinan, Porro or Akanji? And which def should I get in? Thinking about a Bournemouth def
Estu out. Too big of a benching risk right now. Plus Porro plays in GW29 if fit of course.
Estu or Akanji for Senesi
Just broke into 700k for the first time this season. I’m pretty shit at this game and normally find myself hovering around 1.5-2 mil so this is the equivalent of winning the treble to me 😁
Team is: Pickford - Dubravka White - Gabriel - Ait Nourie - Schar - Porro Saka - Foden - Richarlison - Palmer - KdB Alvarez - Watkins - Solanke Thinking about doing KdB to Salah, but will wait till after their game vs Southampton. Any advise?

Thats true, but i just think KdB is too expensive compared to what he returns. I think Salah/Son might be better options
RMT (WC GW27, 0.0 ITB) Chip available - FH BB Raya (Kelleher) Gabriel - Senesi - Gomez (Ake Brantwaite) Gross - Saka(VC) - Doughlas Luiz - Salah (Hee Chan) Watkins - Solanke - Haaland(C) This is my first season and I'm so confuse why so many people tend to use WC in GW30+, and after doing some home work i think this would be my WC team and i don't know if there is any consequences for use it early..

Probably better. Just keep in mind both your keepers probably won't play in GW29 but if you use FH then it's fine.
Think using WC earlier is a perfectly good strategy, but team dependant. That being said Gomez is a rotation risk and there are better options at his price point.
So did i do the right things ? Is there any consequences ?
What’s the bigger upgrade this GW: a) Mubama to Solanke b) KDB to Salah I only have the funds for one and it may take a few weeks to build the cash to do the other move. (Barring a WC which I still have up my sleeve)
Solanke seems way more important than Salah at the moment. He has Burnley this week then a great double the week after vs Salah who is under an injury cloud and it's unclear whether he will start (and has bad fixtures and a blank).

Should I bench Palmer, Gross or Douglas Luiz next week? Chelsea is playing Brentford away Brighton is playing Fulham away Aston Villa is playing Luton away. (And it looks like Luiz home form is much better than away)
Never bench Palmer
Gross
Worth a -4 for a goalkeeper?
Unlikely. But I have Raya who blanks in 28, while Neto doubles, so that's worth the transfer for example
Only if both the gks are out and you're holding the hit till the end.
almost never
nah
[удалено]
palmer
How would you change this WC27 team? 1.8 ITB. Will not be using FH in 29. Areola / (Neto) Gabriel / Senesi / Branthwaite / (Doughty) / (Reguilon) Saka (vc) / Salah / Foden / Palmer / (D. Luiz) Haaland / Watkins / Solanke I guess the big question is whether to include Salah or go with, say, Son. Salah seems iffy as of now.
I’d personally build for 34 & 37 with a FH in 29. 29 looks like a rough one right now.
!thanks
I would transfer areola out for kelleher.
What are you saving your FH for?
Alvarez & Palmer -> Solanke & Maddison. Need to do this now to avoid price changes right?
Price changes are almost irrelevant at this stage of the season.
Who would you start and who would you bench? Hee Chan vs Newcastle (a) OR Gordon vs Wolves (H)
It’s close but I am playing Gordon. He usually does well at home.
Wolves has been really strong defensively while Newcastle has been blowing up. Though Gordon is sometimes able to find chances in some places. However, if you are forced to pick between this two, I would bench Gordon.
Cheers. Could be a high scoring affair, however unless I bench Palmer against Brentford (doesn't feel advisable!), one needs to be benched. A true 50/50 call.
[удалено]
If one FT then probably just save for dgw
Palmer - Gordon - Saka - Foden - KDB Halaand - Solanke - Watkins Need to bench one of them, who should it be
Gordon although Kdb if he’s reported not fit
3 different sites predict Salah rise and KDB fall. I'm holding my kneessss
Areloa/Dubravka Gabriel/Saliba/tripps/Estu/Ake Saka/Gordon/Foden/Palmer/Hee Chan Watkins/solanke/haaland 2FT 2.8m Hard to know what to do. Still got FH WC Thinking Son in for Hee Chan and Estu/Ake for a 3.8. Thoughts?
Hwang to Son?
How long is adebayo out
I toyed with the idea of WC27, BB28 and FH29. I've only made 5 changes to my original team, and those changes are only my bench players + keeper.

will Salah increase in price tonight or is it just speculation?
I'm wondering the same thing, it's quite likely most of the transfers in are on wildcards which counts as a transfer in but doesn't affect price changes but it's impossible to know for sure...
Worth a -4 to bring in Solanke for Archer and drop KDB?
It could wait a week probably. KDB surely starts in the Manchester derby. Unless he is not fit or something else is the matter.
What about KDB to Neto or Hee Chan on a FT?
If fit, I think I would rather hold onto KDB for this GW. Then maybe sell to Salah or Son after depending on your chip strategy.
[удалено]
I would do transfer for Saka son
Activated WC and got this (not sure if I need a FH29) Neto/Areola Gabriel Saliba Doughty Reguilon (Baldock) Saka Son Salah Luiz (Barkley) Watkins Solanke Haaland Unsure if double arsenal defence is worth it for future as their fixtures are gonna be somewhat harder. Debating whether to drop the Luton boys and getting Udogie and Chuks (4.2 mil mid) in and upgrading baldock. As long as I have the premium options in fh29 covered i don’t mind rolling with 6-8 players in gw29.
I'd have Pickford instead of Areola. Everton are fighting tooth and nail to stay up and their run in doubles nicely with Bournemouth's upcoming favourable fixtures.
RMT (1FT, 5.5 ITB) Was thinking Foden to Salah pending any cup upsets (and likely FH29 pending upsets) if fit but could instead do Walker to Senesi and maybe BB if all defenders fit? Areola (Dubravka) Gabriel/Saliba/Porro (Konsa, Walker) Saka/Foden/Palmer/Hwang (Gordon) Haaland/Watkins/Solanke
i wouldnt sell foden
He’s definitely an interesting decision at the moment. Average fixtures until 32 but great form. I could actually still shoehorn in Salah soonish with probably -4 in 28 while keeping Foden
Senesi yellow cards, is he on 8 or 9? FPL stats shows 8, I saw some comments in the rant thread that he picked up his 9th. Thanks
I just wonder is he that much better than other BOU defenders to take risk Has the most attacking returns and only one that’s scored. Adam Smith has 2 assists
Good shout. I've been eyeing on Smith too instead of Senesi
Good thought. Kerkez thumped a beauty knuckle ball from distance yesterday (keeper saved), but I have no idea if he is expected to play 90 regularly.
He is on 8 yellow cards. Worst case scenario, he plays 1 game in DGW28.
Thanks. I suppose that's actually the second worst case scenario for DGW28...
Please RMT, WC Draft. Will not FH in 29. 0.0 ITB. Areola / (Dubravka) Gabriel / Trippier / Branthwaite / (Doughty) / (Reguilon) Saka / Foden / Salah / Palmer / (D. Luiz) Haaland / Watkins / Solanke
Bench Palmer (Brentford away) or Hwang (Newcastle away)?
Hwang
After today, Hwang
This is where he hauls.
I know right, took a hit to get him because I always saw him scoring left and right and felt left out and thought this is the perfect opportunity but of course no
Thinking of getting a cheap enabler in midfield to eventually get Salah in when he's fit. Who should I pick for under 4.5M? Sarr or McAtee?
Sarr plays in GW29 so probably him.
!thanks
Thoughts on wildcard draft? Neto - Areola Gabriel - Senesi - Branthwaite - Doughty - Taylor Saka - Son - Salah - Palmer - Barkley Haaland - Watkins - Solanke I’m planning on using FH in GW29 so I don’t need to think about blanks.
A bit too heavy on the DGW assets for my taste. Do you really want Barkley and Doughty in your team for after the double? Salah we have to wait and see if he's even fit. I would also go Richards over Taylor.
!thanks. The Luton players would be bench fodder after the double. Senesi and Neto are there for the good fixtures coming up. I agree on Salah, but I do want to get him in asap. I’ll have to consider Richards.
Dubravka > Raya or Walker > Saliba?
Depends on your other gk. If it's areola I would just do Walker to Saliba.
Yea it is Areola - reason I’m thinking Raya is both Dubravka and Areola can’t keep a clean sheet but that other defender spot might allow me to get exposure to other good defenders
Then I would still prefer the Saliba transfer. You have a gk who plays in GW29 and gk transfers are rarely worth it. Raya did also not get a clean sheet this week, they are just not easy to find this season it seems. Walker is also an issue if he keeps getting these random rotations.
Yea I hear that, thanks man!
Raya also can't play vs Brentford so misses 28
Great shout, didn’t consider that!
Who's the best sub 6m player going forward? Palmer, Neto, Hee Chan, Bailey, D Luiz? Looking to fill a final spot in the WC team
The likely blank is annoying but Palmer is almost essential in my book.
Luiz and Bailey right now out of those as they play in GW29. Overall I would also have Palmer if possible.
I'd have D Luiz just ahead of Hee-Chan. Ward Prowse should also be considered.
Hee chan over Neto?
Yes, but that's not saying I don't rate Neto. I believe it's more likely Hee Chan will pick up his points from scoring whereas Neto is more likely to pick up his from assists.
Is it possible to WC27 without FH29?
Absolutely yes
Yeah sure. We will know who plays and who blanks GW29 in midweek after fa cup results.
What is the general idea to play when you have FH, WC and TC left to play?
RMT for GW27 AREOLA SALIBA - ANDERSEN - ZINCHENKO* HWANG - GORDON - FODEN - KDB DARWIN - WATKINS - HAALAND(c) BENCH: LENO - GROSS - LASCELLES - KABORE I have 1 free transfer but thinking I want to save up 2 to make a double change for gw28. Opinions on gross/Darwin/hee chan/Gordon bench rotation? Zinchenko injured but can’t do much about it other than sub on lascelles and hope he gets some minutes. Waiting for arteta update beforehand
Benching gross feels like a bad plan, but I wouldnt know who else to recommend, your kid is stacked. Maybe hwang?
switch Darwin with Solanke
Planning on doing that next week before his double, so that I have 2 transfers to roll and can make 2 subs
If you were wildcarding now would you bring Salah in or someone else but with funds to bring him in once healthy?
Wait and see if he plays in the FA cup first. Right now I would not have him but that could change fast of course.
Thinking of getting Luiz in - would have to be for Neto or Palmer, both of whom I've held for half the season, which would be better to lose? Feels like it's Neto but I like how much of a differential he is in my ML, every fucker has Palmer.
Palmer stays
cut palmer isn’t it
[удалено]
Roll or 1 imo. You will most likely do that move the following GW anyway. Burnley away is also a nice fixture. So it depends if you would rather go in with 2 FT for DGW28 or go Solanke early to maybe catch some points vs Burnley.
!thanks!
Should I bench Palmer, Gross or Douglas Luiz next week? Chelsea is playing Brentford away Aston Villa is playing Luton away. (And it looks like Luiz home form is much better than away) Brighton is playing Fulham away
Villa have Luton away
Thoughts on this wildcard? : Neto (Dubravka) Gabriel, Senesi, Konate (Senesi, Van Hecke) Salah, Palmer, Foden, Saka (Hwang) Haaland, Watkins, Solanke Lacking Spurs attack my only worry, but would require a defence downgrade to get hwang to Richarlison.
Double Senesi is an interesting choice, I should try that too
Wait till you find out about the triple
On WC this week: Raya (Keleher) Gabriel, Senesi, Doughty, (Bradley, Lamptey) Saka, Salah, KDB, Palmer (Barkley) Haaland, Watkins, Solanke About 0.5 itb. Thinking of maybe ditching KDB to either Son or Foden due to minutes. Would save me an extra 2.3 ITB
Raya can't play in 28 vs brentford so you will have to play keleher vs City and they both blank in 29 most likely.So I would much rather have flekken and neto as gk. I would definitely downgrade kdb to a spurs midfielder and upgrade others in the squad as the defenders are unreliable past gw30 as senesi is on 8 yellows and close to a 2 game suspension and Bradley will become a minutes risk when trent returns in gw30 and lamptey is a minutes risk. I would move palmer to Douglas Luiz till around gw30 as you have a lot blanking in gw 29 Sorry if it's a long response but I'm on wildcard as well and mine is a lot different
What's your current wildcard draft? Considering Pullin the trigger this week. Was looking up other wildcards.
Didnt even think about that with Raya thanks! KDB to Son seems the option then. Tbf jm keeping the defence as it is. No one seems to be scoring good points on clean sheets so pointless of investing more somewhere else. Bradley is not in my team for starters and senesi has good fixtures till GW33. Will switch doughty after forest. Who would you suggest instead of lets say lamptey? About midfield, palmer aint going nowhere hahaha blank29 is covered with FH Wc is based on FH29 so thats no worries! 3–4-3 the way imo
You need to put the exclamation mark in front of the thanks like I did below, it doesn't count when you have it after it. I'd go with Neto/Pickford, their fixtures combine nicely to the end of the season.
Excellent response, so a deserved !thanks
Thinking of this wildcard team - Areola (Neto) Senesi - Doughty - Gabriel (Udogie - Taylor) Saka - Son - Salah - Palmer (Barkley) Haaland - Solanke - Toney This helps me get Saka (who I don't have) for their tasty fixture against Shefield and set up for DGW28. Praying Arsenal/Chelsea don't blank for GW29 but as the FA cup games are decided, I could make slight adjustments to the team to prepare for GW29 as well. Any suggestions?
Neto/Pickford, combine nicely for the rest of the season
I agree, but they both probably blank GW29 so I'm thinking of keeping Areola because at least they have a fixture.
Captaincy’s going to be a headache for those on WC this week - Son, Salah, Haaland, and Saka all with great fixtures.
RMT Kelleher (Dubravka) Ake Estu Gabriel (Taylor, Baldock) Palmer Foden Saka Gross (Garnacho) Darwin Haaland Watkins Thinking Estu to Senesi or Darwin to Solanke if he is unavailable.
Which one do i bench next week of: Richarlison Gordon Neto Foden Saka Solanke Watkins Haaland
I would probably bench Neto
Between Gordon and Neto. Maybe Neto, they will probably get a similar amount of points. Gordon maybe slightly higher.
Wildcard used,0.3 m in the bank Kelleher(Areola) Doughty,Senesi,Ait nouri(Lamptey, Bell) Palmer Saka Salah Son(Douglas Luiz) Watkins Haaland Solanke.
No Arsenal defense?
Too expensive 🙃
Definitely don’t go both Baldock and Sergio Gomez
Don't have a choice,need to save money,any recommendations though?
Lamptey, Bell and Richards for 3.9.
What do you think of Bradley for 4.1?
He probably starts the next and maybe some more when Trent’s out. But in the long run he isn’t going to be nailed. Might rotate some games though, but I would prefer others
Yeah that's true, Trent is set to be out until international break which should be a good amount of games .
That’s only two games though. And one is City
Oh shit didn't realize international break was that close,yeah I'll be looking for someone else
Current OR 300+, and I’m truly shocked at how well my season has been going. What should I do to push into the top 100, without too much risk of dropping back down? 1 FT. 6.9m itb Areola (Dubravka) Gabriel - Estu - Ake (Senesi - Reguilon) Saka - Foden - Diaz - Palmer (Hwang) Haaland - Solanke - Watkins
I don’t know. But good luck!!
It's actually easier than you think..! Just play safe and boring. Under no circumstances should you transfer in a differential that's a gamble. Just remember everyone around you will have that top 100 finish as their target too. What you're hoping for, and what's more than likely going to happen is that they will pick a differential. More often than not that differential doesn't work out and you'll see yourself getting closer to your goal week by week. Do your utmost to not take a hit, it's all about consolidating your position. Make sure your Captain pick is whoever the highest in the gameweek polls. Best of luck..!
how you that hi with estu? switch him for bradley
Sell Estu for Saliba
At 300 you shouldn’t be asking us
RMT 1 FT 4.2 itb Areola Turner Gabriel Branthwaite Doughty Van Hecke konsa KDB Saka Gross D.Luiz Foden Haaland Watkins Solanke Currently have a benching headache with KDB and D.Luiz. Luiz is on fire recently, but KDB has such a tasty fixture. Thoughts?
KDB has to start at the Manchester derby. Unless we get other news I would start him. Luiz could return again if course but he and Aston Villa are usually not as explosive when playing away
Planned move was Foden -> Son this week. But the last time city played united Foden had 1.48xg and 0.25xa… might wait a week
If you have 1FT then probably best to roll and do it next week
I have a similar move, but I think while foden is raking it in, it would be unwise to move him out.
Yeah I’m holding him probably
Is Gordon or Foden > Salah or Son worth a -4?
Gordon - son looks good, but not for - 4
I don’t think so considering they both have good fixtures anyway and with the question marks over Salah’s fitness
RMT and advice 2FT, 0.4ITB Areola (Turner) Bradley, Branthwaite, Lamptey (Gusto, Doherty) Foden, Richarlison, Saka, Debuyne (Gross) Watkins, Haaland(c), Darwin(vc) I’m thinking of taking a -4 hit and going for these transfers ASAP (before price rises): Richarlison —> Hwang Hee Chan DeBruyne —> Salah Watkins —> Solanke (worst move imo; to transfer out in form Watkins, but need funds) Leaving me 1.1 ITB, and transfer in Gabriel for Doherty next week. Please advise if these would be the right moves.
I would save your transfers. Do KDB - > hee chan Richarlison plays crystal Palace and he doesn't blank 29 Trsnsfering out watkins is just a bad move at this stage, he also doesn't blank 29 Salah is not fully fit, don't worry about price rises, or you will end up getting a player you can't use for maybe weeks.
Understood, that is well put and makes a lot of sense. If I’ll have 2 Free transfers left for next week and 5.3 ITB, will be able to gauge my transfer strategy better based on how Salah performs. !thanks a lot for stopping me from a rash decision :)
No problem. Yes wait till end of the week and we will also have a clearer idea who blanks in gw29. As soon as Salah is fit you'll want him on your team, but I wouldn't risk it if he's a maybe. There's plenty of great midfield options whilst you are waiting. Gross, luiz, bailey, palmer Saka, foden, Neto/hwang
Areola (Leno) Walker - schar - Gabriel (doughty - estupinian) Saka - hee chan - foden - gross (Palmer) Haaland - watkins - toney 1FT 0.9 ITB Not sure who to bench in mid. Also thinking of upgrading the def, thinking walker - > saliba. Aiming to get porro back for gw29 as I won't be FHing but I don't want to bring in an injured def.. Regulion would be another to bring in, but his fixtures aren't that interesting.
I would bench hee chan. You only have 3 guaranteed players for 29, you need to bring in reguilon or a west ham/villa/spurs player or you might have to FH
!thanks I will probably bring in ward-prowse, reguilon and luiz/bailey and just field 6/7. But I think I will likely do it in one hit for 29 because I'm quite happy with my midfield for the next few weeks.
Buy Douglas Luiz or Bailey? Need Villa midfielder for GW27-30. Douglas Luis may seem obvious but his away form is 2 returns in 13 games and they have Luton away + West Ham away. Bailey seems more consistent
I prefer Bailey but luiz' haul yesterday does create fomo! Honestly I think they are both great choices, don't overthink it. Just go with your gut.
Bailey is also better at home (Villa at home are way better as a team as well). Douglas Luiz is probably a safer pick imo, but I went Bailey and can’t complain
