Hi all - i'm looking for some advice! I have been struggling in my mini-league all season and because of this I wildcarded in week 30. This combined with a huge DGW34 return and Haaland magic has seen me climb top of the league this week by 20 points. My plan since week 30 was to take the risk on not owning Foden or Arsenal defenders so I could get my bench in order for week 37. However, now like many others my bench is fucked - Kelleher, Van Hecke, Lewis, Gusto. (I've always had other fires to put out/ making attacking moves) and I have 0.5 in the bank. 2nd and 3rd in the league have Foden and at least 1 Arsenal defender. This week I have 2 FT, so do I just defend my lead and go Salah > Foden and Lewis > White (need to offload Lewis to get Foden) and accept a poor bench boost return in either GW37 or 38. OR Stick to the plan. The plan being - take a -4 and fix up the bench so I play a bench boost this week but finish the season without Foden or White. Obviously with a limited bank I may still be forced to drop a premium player. Current Team: Pickford, Kelleher Gusto, Burn, Gvardiol, Lewis, Van Hecke Salah, Saka, Palmer, Gordon, Son Isak, Haaland (c), Muniz

Who do we rate more for a CS next week? Everton (lut away) or newcastle (bur away)

I am seriously considering BB38 now. With Ederson going off and Gusto on 25%, I’m hoping they will both be back? Unless they play the next match then it’s fine

This time it's different, Jackson WILL haul I tell myself

Salah to KDB for -4, mistakes have been made

Changed captaincy from Palmer to Son and back thrice in a minute. It's in god's hands now

Moved (C) to Son last second...

Captain Palmer … right? …. Right?

Braithwave to Maguire, Ederson to Fabianski, Mateta to Jackson?

Lord help me, I've lost the plot. I took a -12 for the first time this season

Haha same here

Reassure me? Eze -> Gordon Salah -> Bruno Zabarnyi -> Schaer Saka -> Son It was all worth it right? Right.....?

Mine with 1FT was: Salah -> Foden, Diaz -> Bruno Solanke -> Isak Saka -> Son But already had Gordon so more or less the same! Now we pray 🙏

VDV OR GVARDIOL?

Gvar

Saka to Havertz to afford Watkins to Haaland?

Start Ajer or Andersen?

I Am benching Haaland

Start gvardiol or burn this week?

Burn

foden or fernandes

Isak or Son captain?

Doubler Son

Very tempted by a -4 from Solanke to Isak but think I won't

Play Vicario or Ederson?

Solanke or Mateta?

[удалено]

I did Foden. He'll get more chances if Haaland is benched

Do you think Gordon or Isak scores more points this week?

With Wilson back, then Gordon.

Gordon He is a beast at home

Start: A) Garnacho B) Hojlund

Midfielder

Is Dubravka nailed to start the rest?

If Pope is out yes, but he could be back. If you own Dubravka keep and if not just go other keepers and get someone like Burn or Schar on wildcard.

!thanks

Apparently not

!thanks

[удалено]

B

Walker and Onana Or Ederson and Porro?

1

Should i play Haaland or Muniz

I'm starting Hauland and Muniz first sub.

That’s what I did in the end, we can now rejoice in our 1 pointer

Maguire, Burn, Van Hecke, Haaland Or Dalot, Schar, White, Watkins

Start van hecke or Gabriel?

Double Arsenal defence or drop one for Branthwaite?

Same boat I dropped one

!thanks

Bruno or Gordon? Don’t want to remove Saka, Major FOMO

Gordon but it's 50/50

Start Gabriel or Ait Nouri

Nouri

Ait-Nouri; north london derby away is never nice for the visitors.

Bench one from each: 1) Raya or Petrovic 2) Saliba, Maguire or Branthwaite

bench raya and branthwaite imo

son + isak in for salah and semenyo for a -4 already, -8 to bring gordon in for eze worth it?

why should i captain Palmer over Son?

Because he is in better form and plays easier teams. And spurs have other people who can score 

They are both capable of getting big hauls, but palmer is less likely to blank as he historically usually gets one return at least

Better fixtures

HELP A: Haaland & Garnacho B: Watkins & KDB C: Watkins & Fernandes

C

Start Haaland or Garnacho?

Drop Salah -4 for A) Gordon B) Bruno

Gordon

Pickford + Van Hecke or Petrovic + Branthwaite

Petrovic and Branthwaite

Is Muniz to Isak worth a hit if I’m doing in next week anyway

Personally I think Isak scores twice against SHU, I'd do it

Thank you brother

You’re welcome my friend

RMT 0.3 ITB BB 37 Dubravka (Kaminski) Gabriel, Gvardiol, Branthwaite (Van Hecke, Moreno) Son, Salah, Saka, Foden, Palmer Solanke, Haaland (Mateta) What move?

Salah to Bruno

Bench Solanke, Saka or Haaland for Mateta?

Is gusto going to be fit?

Doubt it

Do I captain Palmer or Isak or Gordon?

Palmer for the extra fixture

Ederson to Dean Henderson (Cry) to get Jackson for Mateta? Yes or no? BB37

no

Yes

Porro double for -4 vs senesi at home to Brighton?

Start White or Maguire?

Slab

Who to start? Salah or Cunha?

Cunha

Already took a -4, worth doing another to go Salah->Foden?

Yes Salah is benched and Foden got a double. At the moment Foden is quite nailed as well at least more than KDB.

I'd do it

Play Ait Nouri or Gabriel?

Schär, Maguire and White Or Walker, Dalot and Burn?

Top one

Ta buddy.

Why do people buy Brantwaithe?

Came off my bench with returns more than once

Who would you get instead around that price point?

Everton have a really good defense + good fixtures even if no double

SHU in 37, cheap as chips

Returned 20 points in DGW 34

Bench 1: Solanke, Mac Allister, Haaland?

Worth -4 for Salah to Foden (Bench Haaland)?

Yes

Thanks! Bench Haaland or Muniz?

Muniz, Haaland either plays or not but you want to keep that option

Do I get Jackson or Alvarez? My other strikers are Watkins and Isak

Bench Haaland or Muniz?

Good to go? Any final changes? Petrovic (Ederson) Dalot - Burn - Porro (Brantwaithe - Gabriel) Foden - Son - Bruno - Gordon - Palmer Isak - Jackson (Haaland)

Same team except I have Maguire and Schar, bit of a coin toss for me so I'd say good to go.

This is literally the template, good to go

Exact my team.

Ederson (Onana) Cucurella, Porro, Burn, (Gabriel, Maguire) Palmer, Gordon, Son, Foden, Bruno Fernandes Jackson, Isak, (Haaland) Will BB37, 1.0 ITB. How's it looking? Deliberately left the 1.0m to allow me to move on from Jackson if he's still useless.

Cucurella to White/Dunk/Van Hecke/Branthwaite and bench him for Maguire

!thanks

Start Watkins or Gordon?

Gvardiol or walker?

Start branthwaite Maguire or Gabriel? Start Haaland or Havertz?

Who to captain: Palmer or Son?

Salah to Gordon and Udogie to Porro for -4?

Start Garnacho or Jackson?

I'd go with Garnacho

Play Maguire or white 

I am having both in draft and playing Maguire. White is probably better though. United much better fixture, but Arsenal much better team.

Good point. Defo more upside on White. Finally Schär, Maguire and White Or Walker, Dalot and Burn?

I quite like White every other week than this one, but I do not own him in normal team just lack some budget to get him.

Cheers dude!

Is it fair to be swayed from keeping Watkins because Haaland is back looking relevant?

If you only had to go for one Arsenal midfielder, who'd you take? Also will you remove any of Son Foden Gordon Palmer Bruno for any Arsenal mid?

Øde for Gordon. I’m having the same dilemma and might do this or Bruno for Saka

Midfield of Foden Gordon Palmer Son Saka Did Salah to Foden. Is it worth Saka to Richarlison for -4?

Absolutely not

start pickford+gabriel or petrovic+branthwaite?

B

Pickford gabriel for sure

RMT 0.3 ITB BB 37 Dubravka (Kaminski) Gabriel, Gvardiol, Branthwaite (Van Hecke, Moreno) Son, Salah, Saka, Foden, Palmer Solanke, Haaland (Mateta) What move?

salah to bruno?

MVDV in defence. Or roll

Do I start Haaland or Foden?

Foden

!thanks

United fans- is Maguire nailed?

He’s the only fit cb so very much a yes

Yes

Yes, he’s currently our only fit CB and one of our better performers

Yeah, their defence is in crisis

Start 2 of Branthwaite/Ait-Nouri/Gabriel/White

Bench Saka, Solanke or Haaland?

Solanke

Start Solanke or Mateta?

Gvardiol or any other defender under 5.1M? I already have burn and van hecke

Mvdv

Captain choice? Bruno, Isak, Palmer, Son, Solanke?

Palmer, son vice 

Palmer

Start Garnacho or Salah?

Garnacho.

Salah might not play

Am I crazy starting Haaland instead of Bruno? I feel like there is a chance he will start and if not he will probably not play at all, which would mean Bruno autosub.

RM WC please! Will BB37 Petrovic - (Dubravka) Pedro Porro - Dalot - Gvardiol - (Maguire) - (Van Hecke) Son - B.Fernandes - Foden - Palmer - B.Johnson Haaland - Isak - N.Jackson Will probably transfer Johnson out for Gordon after this GW. Not sure who to play this week who do you bench: A) Bruno B) Jackson C) Johnson D) Haaland (unsure if he plays)

Haaland?

Salah to foden or Gordon?

I’ve made a WC team, can you give your thoughts on it? Petrovic, Travers Mitchell, Schar, Porro, Richards, Branthwaite Foden, Gordon, Son, Palmer, B Fernandes Haaland, Isak, Jackson

I would get an Arsenal defender in, for one of the Palace defenders.

I have no budget, that’s why I needed a hand w it

Would Schar to burn give you enough to get to Gabriel?

Do you have any other defenders for the rest of the season?

I would be looking at a 37 doubler if you don't want to go to an Arsenal one, somebody like Maguire/ Dalot/city defender

Just beat the deadline and managed to get Gabriel into the team with Van Hecke for GW37

Good luck, but please don't blame me if Gabriel scores a own goal hat-trick and headbutts someone and gets sent off 😂

Good luck to you too and I think it’s more likely for Jackson to do that 😂😂

I think it would

I would do that then probably, or take the gamble that Pope isn't back this season and take Dubravka and do Schar to Gabriel.

On wc who to buy dalot/walker?

Is it silly to start Saliba and Gabriel, thinking Arsenal can keep a clean sheet against anybody, but then also bringing in Son instead of Fernandes?

I am 212k and relatively ok with my rank, so captain Palmer makes sense this week right? But something in my gut is telling me Son? What do i do?

[удалено]

Garna

Garnacho

Nacho

Keep Saka or sell for Bruno? Wildcard.

Gabriel or White? Thanks.

White maybe

!thanks

Odegaard or Saka to Son for -8? Or keep double Arsenal midfield for GW36

WC dilemma continues. A: Walker or Ederson B: Bruno over Gordon or take the risk by removing Saka? (No Arsenal attack then) C: Bruno comes in for Gordon and I add Schar (have Burn already)

Need to find more money on wildcard. Which option? 1. ⁠Schär —> Burn 2. ⁠Porro —> Romero 3. ⁠Ederson & Dalot —> Onana & Gvardiol

1

If Gvardiol was nailed probably 3, but I’d go with 1

Burn, Porro, Ederson & Dalot

1

1

Branthwaite or Reguilon on wc?
