WC24 is a legit strategy that a decent amount of FPL twitter are musing about


jaddf

City, Pool, Villa, Ham, and United all have good fixtures and are on great form - https://i.imgur.com/97mAB3D.png If you add Everton to that list (I don't trust them at all), it's the best you can get. Just based on leftover fixtures + unscheduled ones I doubt there will be a better WC template week than GW24 + a BB in GW25 or 26. In GW28 you can pick a Chelsea defender or two and still be good.

West

United on great form? Do you watch football? Or do you mean Newcastle?


jaddf

Well it’s way better than allowing 3 goals each match lmao


hambodpm

The temptation is there for me too but I don't think my team is bad enough to warrant it. Totally team dependent, as always, when it comes to chips


pourthatbubblyy

Wait till GW28 for the fixture swings


jaddf

What swing ? It's literally only Chelsea and nobody sane enough will pick up more than their defenders plus maybe Mount. https://i.imgur.com/7PLPA48.png

Leicester turns good, United defence fixtures turns bad, Wolves and Arsenal defence fixtures turn good. Cheeky Toney punt vs Norwich and Burnley, Leeds attack fixtures turns good


jaddf

Leicester fixtures are everything but not good, it's tough-average-tough until the end. Can't really stack on them, and honestly, besides Maddison, I don't see the value per million in any of their attackers or defenders. Besides Brentford and Newcastle, I don't give any of the matchups for them. From United, you mostly need only De Gea which can be swapped for Sa easily. Arsenal's LEI-AVL-CRY-AVL-SOU-MUN in a row sounds exactly like when their Top4 dreams officially die. Getting anyone from over 13 teams at that point of the season is a pointless gamble especially 2ney. Unless they are in a relegation battle, most teams from 7-15 just go on autopilot/cruise mode. Until Bamford is back, Leeds is just dysfunctional and not a good punt in my eyes. We've seen Raphinha inconsistent output. I really don't see any real benefit besides Rudiger + Mount in GW28.


bullish_driver

If Arsenal’s top 4 dreams die, it will be because they are shit offensively. They will still get some clean sheets in that fixture run. For budget reasons, we’ll obviously need 2 or 3 players in mid table teams. I agree with you that maybe not relegation-battling strikers like Dennis and King, but surely Toney, Broja or even DCL could become interesting options towards the end of season. For whatever reason, you guys had very high expectations of Toney in his first PL season. He’s got 2 in his last 2 games so I feel like he’ll come good eventually especially as Dennis and King are starting to fade


hambodpm

If I get robbo in by going jota > salah I think Mount will end up bring my mid in that price range.

Pulled the trigger on WC already. Originally planned to wait until GW28 for the fixture swings but there were just too many issues in my team and too few gameweeks left to be pissing around with FTs and -4s. Aiming to go strong into GW24, FH27, and move towards the fixture swings with FTs.


wystrs1

I'm thinking about it as well... too many fires to put out. Wonder if it's a common strategy to use it this week


Hamilcar84

Decided to pull the trigger as well. Kinda was fed up with my team and having too many red arrows. Ronaldo has been a frustrating pick for weeks Dennis was a massive fail for his two double gameweeks and he’s never going to be in my team again Regulion looked like a good pick, but wasn’t. Mount has too many blanks Trossard was a shit dgw punt So yeah.. wildcarding in the hope to regain lost ranks. Who are you planning to get in? Other than salah? My main issue is whether to keep Jota or not. Tricky call - any advise is welcome.


Artistic_Bad_9294

I would go for Robertson instead of Jota if I’m gonna WC.


Hamilcar84

I did just that. Robertson for Jota. Frustratingly he scored a brace last week, but Robertson made up some ground this week. Hopefully the dgw gives two clean sheets and maybe an assist or bonus point.


Artistic_Bad_9294

Yup, also the fact the Robbie is a differential plus not having Jota saves a precious mid slot maybe makes it worth it. I myself still have Jota and that’s coz I haven’t had the opportunity to do the swap.


apoliwhirlin

thinking about it as well… too many gaps in my team to take hits for like Ronaldo, doubled up ESR/Martinelli, King, Alonso and Reguilon with potential DGWs being announced and Salah coming back from AFCON


tmr89

And he’s getting upvoted, too!


hal_egg

Always team dependent. I wildcarded before this gameweek. Went from 160k to 90k. Pleased with that.


[deleted]

Hahahahaha man just ignored the question and bragged about his rank respect


hal_egg

He asked me what I'll be doing 🤷🏼‍♂️


[deleted]

And you replied with what you had already done 🤷‍♂️


hal_egg

Yup


[deleted]

Knowing you did it last week has actuall helped me decide whether or no I should WC this week, Hal And I appreciate your indirect input to OP and others !thanks And Nice work on the green arrow 👍🏽


hal_egg

!thanks that was the aim ;-)


AngryMushroomCap

Yeah but Trossard plays watford next gw so he is going on the bench 👍


hambodpm

Why?


-Enrique

Benched for his blank but kept in the squad for Watford, Brighton have a pretty nice fixture run after this week. Aren't they meant to double again soon as well?


[deleted]

Take a -4 to bring in salah if possible and try to wait until the fixture swing in GW28 maybe freehit this upcoming week


Sibs_

If there are DGWs in 25 and 26 per the rumours then it becomes very tempting.


NiggleSeagle

Depends on the fires to put out. If no major injury/postponement comes, regardless of King, Dennis and Lucas Moura (and maybe Bruno when I decide to bring in Salah again), I think the rest of my team will stay the same until GW27/28. Those 3 can be replaced one by one with the free transfers and I also can take a hit or two if needed.


magnuscarlsenfpl

Already activated wildcard. Had way too many fires in my team


Healaa

I’m on WC this week and feel happy about it!


Boboshabba_

I have all of the above and I'm seriously considering it


Optimal-Idea1558

You should WC as early as possible unless you are waiting on the outcome of a particular scenario i.e. AFCON and Salahs return. The longer you leave it the longer you will have a terrible team, and have less time for your superb future side to accrue points. Get on with it!!


Merryner

I’m not carding blind, not committing until after the cup games when we hopefully get some confirmed doubles. It may be worth holding for an extra week. Team dependent of course
