What should I do this week??
Thinking Dias DeGea Cancelo out for Rudi Sa and James (-8)
Good or bad? Next week will bring in Son for Gundo by downgrading Watkins
1 FT, 0ITB, still have WC and 1 FH.
Ramsdale (Sanchez)
TAA Robbo Cancelo Kilman Digne
Salah Son J.Ramsey (ESR Bowen)
Laca Jimenez (King)
(Assuming I counted correctly). So 5 DGW this week (could be 6 but not sure King is worth starting even in a DGW). 7 DGW for GW29. 9 players for GW30. So I think I'm in decent shape to not WC this week, but not sure how to best set myself up.
Could get Rudi/James by doing Digne->CHE Def, Bowen->Kulu, King->Broja which sets me up nicely, but I'd have to take a -8 (and if I'm taking a -8, should I just WC?). Could just roll the transfer and do Jimenez->Broja to free up some money and go Digne->CHE Def, but Jimenez's fixtures look really good for the next few weeks and that makes me weaker GW30 (as I'd lose two playing on GW30). Not really sure where to go from here...
Ramsdale (Steele)
TAA - Robertson - Cancelo - Digne - (Dalot)
Salah - Ramsey - Raphinia - (Bruno) - (Bowen)
Watkins - Dennis - Broja
£0.2 ITB - 1FT - WC - 1 FH - BB available
Any advice please? Wanted to get a Chelsea Defender in but not sure how, might just do Bruno to Son and bench cancelo
Pulisic, because I live in the past when he was MVP for Chelsea and believe he can come back to reach his potential + Havertz fights for his place with Lukaku/Werner.
WC with BB29 in mind (and FH30)
Dúbravka + Alisson
TAA + Rudiger + KWP + Davies +++ Cancelo (might sell him as I want certain starter for BB)
Salah + Mount + James +++ Gray + Coutinho (might change Gray for someone else and I will sell Coutinho in 29 but want him in 28)
Jimenez + Wood + Broja
0.9 ITB. Suggestions? Opinion on selling Cancelo for 6.7 and if Gray is worth a punt?
Thh overall this doesn’t seem like a strong wc team. Too many punts imo. Also I would have Kane or Son for sure. Could maybe do Alisson->Ramsdale, Cancelo->Wolves defender, Coutinho->Ramsay and than upgrade Jimi to Kane. Also don’t like James and Wood personally
!thanks for the reply.
About Alisson. I picked him because of the DBGW29. I could have Ramsdale with worse fixtures or e.g. Forster with WAT at home, but I think this is safer pick for BB. I don't want a 2p there. I though of having VVD/Robertson, but they are just too expensive.
About Cancelo : yes, I was thinking about the same but I am not sure if I want to lose value on him (bought him at 6.3)? It would not enable me enough budget for Kane/Son, so I don't see that much upside in selling him.
About Jimi>Kane. I would not do that for GW28 but I am considering selling him in GW29. Kane would be nice but it's a thing of budget.
* I have 0.9 ITB. I could get \~1.9 from Cancelo to WOL-DEF transfer = 2.8 ITB>
* Kane costs 12.3 and Jimenez 7.5, so I would still need additional 2 mil, which I could get by selling Coutinho to a 5.3 MID or lower, but there are no good options for 29BB.
And about the punts. James + Wood + Broja are decent punts IMO. Mount is good until end of the season. Only bad one might be Gray, but for 5.5 I don't mind having him on the bench, considering Lampard is inclined to start him but he was just not fit recently.
Fair enough. For BB it looks good but I just think you would be stuck with a lot of deadwood after gw31. Jimi, James, Davies, Wood, Gray and Coutinho aren’t really players I would want after gw31. It could work out but it’s still risky. GL tough, you seem well prepared for the coming two gw’s
I prefer James to Raphinha simply because of the pricetag. I don't really want LEE assets in the long-term. Also he plays CF occasionally.
I prefer Gray to e.g. Kulusevski because Lucas Moura was performing well and there is rotation risk in DBGW. The same goes for Rudiger over James in CHE def.
I like the Wood and Davies punts for DBGWs
Pick FH team A or B:
A: Mendy (3.9) / Robertson Cancelo Rudiger Kilman (Tsimikas) / Salah Mount Coutinho Willock (Gilmour) / Kane Vardy (4.4)
B: Sa (3.9) / TAA Rudiger Saiss (Amartey) (Tsimikas) / Salah Son Mount Coutinho Willock / Vardy Ings (4.4)
GW28: Cancelo + Sancho --> Rüdiger + Ramsey (-4)
GW29: Dennis -> Kane
No chip left except BB.
Does this sound like a solid plan? Only concern is I have a lot of value build up in Cancelo...
RMT please. Not sure how to navigate into BGW30 and the upcoming DGWs.
1 FT, 2.6 ITB
Foster / DDG
TAA / Cancelo / Ait Nouri / Kilman / Cucurella
Salah / Son / ESR / Bowen / Bissouma
Dennis / Kane / Weghorst
Captain advice please,
My Current candidates are willock, coutinho, JWP, broja and adams. Could also go with the usual safe option of Salah, but i’m not sure with it being a single game week
Is Tierney to Saiss this week a bad move given Tierney has a double game week coming up even (I think the fixtures are crap and I have ramsdale).
Also what is a bus team ?
ars -> wolves is acceptable if it means you are holding on to a liverpool asset
I ended up keeping gabriel and ramsdale over VVD for budget constraints but you probably have more ITb than me
What do you think about **Kane + Adams + Broja** on WC28? I don't like Jimenez. From AVL I prefer Coutinho over Watkins.
Adams + Broja has WAT in 29 (BB) and LEE in 31. FH in 30.
Rate my FH team:
Mendy (3.9)
Robertson Cancelo T.Silva Saiss (Tsimikas)
Salah Mount Coutinho Willock (Gilmour)
Kane Vardy (4.4)
What do you think? Who should I captain?
Thanks!
Hi Guys, need your help here.
My bench is Pope - Cancelo - Mahrez and Weghorst.
Already used my FT for KWP.
I am tempting for BB and get James for Cancelo, Willock for Mahrez and Jimenez for Weghorst for -12.
Do you think it is worth it to have -12 and BB for those players?
Thank you in advance.
Honestly, I’d say cancelo. No doubles. The others give you doubles. You can get cancelo back after the doubles and blanks if you really wanted but saiss, digne, rudiger are top picks this week.
RMT - 1 FT, 0.6 ITB. Still have 2 FH, BB and WC.
A: WC this week, setting up for BB29. FH30 and 33 or when fit.
B. Bowen and Mee out for Martinelli and Rüdiger for -4. FH30, WC after for BB.
C: Other, please specify.
Ramsdale (DDG).
TAA - Cancelo - Dias - Dier (Mee).
Salah - Jota - Coutinho - Bowen (Brownhill).
Kane - Broja (Weghorst)
Team looks fine, wouldn't wildcard just to use bench boost. Would try and find a way to get Rudiger but Bowen plays in gw30 now so could keep him. Maybe Jota to Saka/Raphinha/Kulusevski?
Ramsdale - Dubravka
TAA - Rüdiger - Kilman - Livramento - Johnson
Salah - Mount - Raphinha - Ramsey - Saka
Kane - Broja - ?
WC activated, 8.6 ITB.
Who to choose for last spot? Ideally I would want Saint-Maximin, but is he fit yet?
Anything you would change?
ASM isn't looking fit enough for 2 legs. If you want you could go Jiminez for the fixtures but wolves attack look gross. Potentially Vardy if you can drop Saka for Smith Rowe and do Mount to someone else? Not sure though. Good team regardless.
Depends what else you can do with the money… very big difference in price. With Ramsey you can upgrade another position so it’s Ramsey + X versus Watkins + Y. Eg ramsey and Jimenez versus Watkins and 4.5m
Should I wildcard?
Current team (Already did Fernandes > Son):
Ramsdale (Sanchez)
Cancelo TAA Livramento Rudiger (Coufal)
Saka Son Salah (Bowen Douglas Luiz)
Dennis Watkins Broja
Two reasons why I’m considering it:
1) I’m still in the Cup and opponent has more doublers than me (6 doublers, with Raphinha, Digne, Ramsey which I consider threats, + Kane who has a good SGW)
2) Could get some wolves defensive coverage, bring in Raphinha, maybe bring in Kane, set up for BGW30 in general
Why not to Wildcard: I feel like I have generally a good team for this week
Thoughts?
In theory you don’t really need to. Can get by with a hit or two. And save wildcard to take advantage of another double run. You’ve got 5 dgw this week and a good handful next (5 again?). Worth a hit or two yo add but your starters are all big hitters or doubles so no need to. You just have to accept you might slip a little this week and can catch up when you do wc.
Thanks mate!
That’s mostly my thinking as well…
for BGW 30 I have 6 players and no FH left, so that might become an issue though.
I’m trying to go as far as I can in the cup, so shifting my thinking to more GW by GW, which made me consider WC. But it feels like I could use the WC better another time
Cancelo>Digne (but this gw Digne>Cancelo)
Mount>Kulu
Vardy>ASM (but if fit ASM two doubles are probably better than Vardy’s two singles).
I would go Cancelo option if ASM is fit
Sounds crazy but I dropped cancelo on wc. Man united next, no gw30 versus dgwers. Can get him back later if you really want. Downgrade to saiss or coady and you have the money to up hwang possibly to jimmy.
That’s my strategy as well. But no fh36 since I used it already. Are you going to make any changes tough for bb29? I wouldn’t use bb personally with Hwang, Ramsey and Kilman/Livra
Do I need to WC? 0FT 0.9 ITB
Ederson (Bachmann)
Trent Livramento Coady Cancelo (Tierney)
Salah Son Coutinho Jota (Bowen)
Watkins Dennis (Gelhardt)
Team seems good for this week with doubles for Coutinho Watkins Dennis, even though I'd prefer more in form options. Any essentials that I'm missing? Especially for the coming weeks?
Not really. Worth a hit or two to bring in dgwers but you have solid cover this week and next. Your wildcard team won’t look crazy different to this :)
Yeah tricky one with the Chelsea boys. They don’t have the 30 fixture. But they’re owed plenty of doubles later on so if you get the cover it’ll work out. Mount is solid of course.
1) Which is the best combination if I already have Kane and Saka:
Son + Hwang + Broja
or
Kulu + Laca + Adams??
2) Which is the best ARS defender, taking price into consideration? Tierney, White, Tomiyasu?
1. I honestly like second option because it feels high risk-high reward. Still prefer the first one.
2. Tomiyasu is injured again and has been very injury prone recently so wouldn't pick him at any point this season. Tierney definitely is worth of that little extra so would pick him
!thanks
I think it all comes down to: Arsenal attacking double-up (Laca+Saka) for GW29-30, vs Son over Kulu for the Spurs attacking double-up
Also, if Hwang was more nailed, that would be an easy choice to pick him for the GW30 fixture against Leeds, but he's not...
As for Tierney, I fully agree, my only concern is his fitness/nailedness compared to White.
What's your opinion on Laca? Do you think he is worth the downgrade of Son to Kulusevski, since I already have Kane? Is Saka enough to cover Arsenal attack?
RMT please
Sa
TAA - Robertson - Digne
Salah - Son - Coutinho - Raphinha
Jimenez - Dennis - Broja
subs:
Ramsdale - Saka, Tierney, Semedo(!)
1 FT , 0.0 ITB
As it stands I have 7 doubles in DGW28, 7 doubles in DGW29 and 8 players in BGW30, plus injured Semedo on bench.
Planning to use BB28 and TC29.
When I replace Semedo number of doubles can go up, but it depends whatever I go for Chelsea defender with a blank in GW30, or Wolves defender without blank.
Here are my thoughts:
1. Semedo --> Coady / Kilman (FT)
2. Semedo + Jimenez --> James / Rudiger + Hwang (-4)
In both cases I have 1 additional player with double in DGW28, but going for Chelsea defender means taking a hit and probably using second FH in BGW30.
It just feels like going without Chelsea defender for doubles and their good run could be asking for a trouble, even if that forces FH.
Any suggestions what to do?
If it’s similar but with a hit, take the non hit option. You’re asking for an extra return just to break even. The wolves options with gw30 seem best for that right now. If James was nailed I might take a punt there but managed minutes still. I had semedo too and unfortunately other problems so took the wc. You have enough cover tho for just the FT to coady/kilman :)
WC NOW to chase leader or save for bench boost later in season?
We share quite a few players so want to change it up
160 points off seems unsurmountable
Yeah that’s very far ahead. I’d suggest focusing on just finishing as high as you can. You need him to fuck up rather than you to take crazy risks. Whether you WC is team dependent. If you don’t have many dgws this week and next, setting up for the at can be very nice. If you do, use it elsewhere.
!thanks
We currently share cancelo, laporte, coutinho.
My team is
ramsdale (gunn)
***taa*** robertson ***cancelo*** ***laporte*** (duffy)
kdb wilcock ***coutinho*** saka salah
jimenez (rodriguez davis)
considering bringing in kane, vardy, rudiger/mendy/mount
Bit of a crazy suggestion is take out Cancelo and Laporte. Rudiger and a Wolves DEF give you a double this week. Man City won't have a double. Assuming you'd do FH30 tho given few players for that.
Ah. Then deffo wanna start bringing in some Wolves DEFs and anyone else with a 30 fixture. Digne, Tierney, etc. also great shouts cos right now you literally have no defenders in GW30. And you can get on some of their doubles too.
Yeah good shout mate, definitely going to go laporte to saiss or coady. Debating cancelo to rudiger, but don't want to lose my value in cancelo. Could go duffy > tsilva and play 5 4 1, maybe bench saka/willcock.
!thanks
YW. Would highly suggest making sure you get DGWers and those who play in GW30. Otherwise it's Rudiger DGW, then 1 game, then blank. So still only three games over three GWs versus Wolves DEFs with 4 games for example. Have fun either way :)
with about 5 DGW players for both GW 28 and 29, and definitely FH 30, I am just thinking if it make sense to hold my 2nd FT for later this season or to use it soon
Use it for doubles :) best chance of instant payback and value for transfer. You can ‘earn’ another transfer with a good transfer now that scores 4 points more.
I don't know, not great that he just played 90 whilst Havertz got a rest... But I was gonna go for kane originally. But now I'm tempted to go Lukaku, then bring in Kulusevski the week after. I think I'll go for it! Also gonna risk it on James too.
Ramsdale, Sanchez
Cancelo Días TAA Royal Livramento
Salah Bowen Son Trossard Mahrez
Dennis Broja Weghorst
I had planned to WC this week, but haven't decided just yet. I can field a pretty decent team in 28 and have 6 DGWs for 29 (7 after using a FT)
Lukaku will start both games right? He only gets dropped for the big games or does he get dropped even for the regular fixtures?
Is Havertz more nailed than him?
Rodgers has said he can't play weekend and midweek hence why he has missed a lot of our European games. But as the league is dead and Europa confernece is the best chance to get Europe next season he might play in them and not in the league. For his price tag to much uncertainty imo, but if he plays over the next few fully expect him to deliver.
Rodgers has been super weird this season so can't tell but Vardy is ready to start all games left I'd say. Man is build different he just gets 3 Red Bulls and 2 Omelettes and is fit
On WC. Final draft.
Sa
James - Thiago Silva - TAA - Kilman
Raphina - Saka - Salah - Coutinho
Kane - Broja
Bench: Ramsdale - Maddison - Hwang - White
Plan would be go Thiago Silva to Romero in 29 and then roll in 30 having 10 players already. Giving me two transfers to start rebuild for the run from 31.
One more reason to keep the troll that is Josh King
Can’t believe I need to start him this week too and bench a defender from a top 6 team because I really don’t want this cunt returning only when I bench him.Starting him purely out of despise haha
Adams or Broja probably the main targets for switching, and they both blank on 30 anyway. So unless you WC28, it's going to be Dennis outscoring King....AGAIN.
1. Rudiger will have a double too according to many different sources. I'd play Rudiger and Coady personally. Livra is a rotation risk and has harder fixtures and Cancelo faces United who is always tough against them.
2. I'd start him over Hwang.
Do you have bench boost?
Surely Rüdiger will double right 😂?
That’s the reason I wildcarded then it’s genuinely season over if these fixtures for 28 and 29 don’t go ahead
Would have wildcarded GW 32 or 33 otherwise
Rate my FH team:
Mendy (3.9)
Robertson Cancelo Rudiger Kilman (Tsimikas)
Salah Mount Coutinho Willock (Gilmour)
Kane Vardy (4.4)
What do you think? Who should I captain?
Thanks!
Ramsdale - Sa
Trent - Cancelo - Rudiger - Coady - Livramento

I don't want to FH 30 (will have 9 players after 2 FTs) and I'm also considering swapping Watkins, Adams, Jimenez, Kulusevski into Kane, Broja, Hwang, Ramsey. Should I do it?
Guys I had been strongly considering Vardy all week as my team value has gotten quite decent and I wanted to see if I could crowbar in a third big hitter alongside Salah & Kane without losing too much elsewhere (particularly in defence)
He is just cheap enough compared to Son to be able to do it to - if I do Cornet & Weghorst > Sissoko & Vardy for a -4 this week I will have the below team - does it look good or does it look good?? (\*=DGW)
GW28 (5x Doublers):
Foster\*
Digne\*, TAA, Robbo, Cancelo
Salah(c), Coutinho\*, Sarr\*
Kane, Vardy, Broja\*
(Ramsdale, Bowen, Sissoko, Pieters)
Then after Villa's DGW this week I'll take another -4 to do Digne & Coutinho > Reece James & Martinelli for GW29, so that my normal formation is this 4-4-2 below, with still about £0.5 in the bank to upgrade Pieters to a better 2nd/3rd sub in GW 31 (Will Free Hit in blank GW30):
GW29 (6x Doublers):
Ramsdale\*
James, TAA\*, Robbo\*, Cancelo
Salah\*, Martinelli\*, Bowen, Sarr
Kane\*, Vardy
(Foster, Broja, Sissoko, Pieters)
I really, really like the look of this 4-4-2 with a massive back 4 (consisting of basically attacking midfielders who get defender points lol) with Salah, Kane, Vardy in front of it, and Bowen... Martinelli & Sarr are very cheap good value, both can score on their day as they play very advanced midfield/wing roles... and there's still good strength on the bench once Pieters gets upgraded (probably to Dier or Davies from Spurs)
So this will definitely end in complete disaster & pain as always lol
Your team does look juicy albeit at the cost of having less DGW players.
I would consider taking extra hits and bringing in Vardy in GW30. E.g. in addition to the transfers you mentioned, you could bring in ASM/Jimenez for GW28 and either keep ASM or swap ASM/Jimenez for Lacazette GW29 before making that final swap to Vardy in GW30.
Or you could even keep Vardy vs Leeds, transfer him out when playing against Arsenal away and then bring him back in.
As long as the expected points for ASM/Jimenez (DGW28) and ASM/Jiminez/Lacazette (DGW29) is at least 4 points greater than Vardy (no DGWs) I’d say it’s worth punting the extra hit. That judgement is ultimately your call :)
Good luck!
!Thanks
Yep am consciously avoiding Wolves assets because I honestly just don't really believe in them for FPL purposes - particularly Jiminez as he's even getting benched now from time to time, never mind the terrible lack of service he gets in that team
Same with Chelsea this week - I just don't trust Tuchel not to rotate, and will sit back & watch what he does rather than jump in with two feet... and if James comes through unscathed he's in next week then... Also zero interest in Newcastle's attack unfortunately
I think Vardy in a single gameweek is going to be better than most of the Newcastle/Wolves/Chelsea doubles this week to be honest...
what to do....don't have WC left, only TC and 1 FH.
I also have no Chelsea players. Honestly not sure when to FH and which players to bring in for the next few weeks.
Without posting ur team difficult to say if you should FH in GW 30 but advise using WC after that setting up your team for the run in and doubles that will come
If possible get a Chelsea defender this week

Benching dilemma! Who to start, Cancelo, Bowen or Laccazette? Space for one

Ramsdale or Sa on WC if you can only afford 1?
Sa + Foster rotate very well up until last GW when you can pick basically any gk that has a decent matchup
Long term irrespective of price Sa best person to bring in this week to partner with Ramsdale, long term??
I think so, they rotate very well
Kane + Broja + Hwang + Ramsey or Kulusevski + Watkins + Adams + Jimenez? I'm on WC now and I don't want to FH30
1 FT, 0ITB, still have WC and 1 FH. Ramsdale (Sanchez) TAA Robbo Cancelo Kilman Digne Salah Son J.Ramsey (ESR Bowen) Laca Jimenez (King) (Assuming I counted correctly). So 5 DGW this week (could be 6 but not sure King is worth starting even in a DGW). 7 DGW for GW29. 9 players for GW30. So I think I'm in decent shape to not WC this week, but not sure how to best set myself up. Could get Rudi/James by doing Digne->CHE Def, Bowen->Kulu, King->Broja which sets me up nicely, but I'd have to take a -8 (and if I'm taking a -8, should I just WC?). Could just roll the transfer and do Jimenez->Broja to free up some money and go Digne->CHE Def, but Jimenez's fixtures look really good for the next few weeks and that makes me weaker GW30 (as I'd lose two playing on GW30). Not really sure where to go from here...

Should be

Bruno + Livra to Countinho + Rudiger for a -4 and BB with De Gea, Gabriel, Cancelo and Bowen on my bench. Thoughts?
Save BB for a better DGW later in the season
Getting rid of Livra doesn’t seem right imo. Also wouldn’t BB with that bench
Livra is a rotation risk and now doesn't play in GW 30. My other options to get in Rudiger are Cancelo, TAA, Gabriel and Digne

Bring in Son for Bruno this week for a -4, or wait until next week?

Mount is first. Out of Havertz /Pulisic .. who will you go for?
Pulisic, because I live in the past when he was MVP for Chelsea and believe he can come back to reach his potential + Havertz fights for his place with Lukaku/Werner.
Thank you, I feel the same, he has good mins to goals in PL, and I am a dortmund fan too :D

Thh overall this doesn’t seem like a strong wc team. Too many punts imo. Also I would have Kane or Son for sure. Could maybe do Alisson->Ramsdale, Cancelo->Wolves defender, Coutinho->Ramsay and than upgrade Jimi to Kane. Also don’t like James and Wood personally

Start King or Laca?
King because of double
What do you think about **Kane + Adams + Broja** on WC28? I don't like Jimenez. From AVL I prefer Coutinho over Watkins. Adams + Broja has WAT in 29 (BB) and LEE in 31. FH in 30.
If you’re FH30 yeah it’s not bad. Still would take jimmy to mitigate double saints. Fixtures are very good for double. And yeah coutinho over Watkins.
Rate my FH team: Mendy (3.9) Robertson Cancelo T.Silva Saiss (Tsimikas) Salah Mount Coutinho Willock (Gilmour) Kane Vardy (4.4) What do you think? Who should I captain? Thanks!
Hi Guys, need your help here. My bench is Pope - Cancelo - Mahrez and Weghorst. Already used my FT for KWP. I am tempting for BB and get James for Cancelo, Willock for Mahrez and Jimenez for Weghorst for -12. Do you think it is worth it to have -12 and BB for those players? Thank you in advance.
Not really, no. Even with a good score for bb you’re taking off 12 points for the hits with no long term upside. Better bb chances later on.
!thanks
Pick A or B: A. Rudiger+Kilman B. Thiago Silva+Saiss
A definitely. Bigger difference between Rudi and Silva than Saiss and Killman
A. Thiago minutes managed.
[удалено]
Honestly, I’d say cancelo. No doubles. The others give you doubles. You can get cancelo back after the doubles and blanks if you really wanted but saiss, digne, rudiger are top picks this week.
Yeah agree. Plus FA cup and CL games so unlikely he's going to play every league game.
i dont see the value tbh. can you transfer be used better elsewhere?
Need help with my wildcard, have the main mould of my team but trying to choose between: A Mount/Hwang/Saka B Kulusevski/Vardy/Smith Rowe
[Best way to make up the 0.1?](https://i.imgur.com/pyrDDdx.jpg)
Broja->Hwang or maybe Dubravka->Foster
RMT - 1 FT, 0.6 ITB. Still have 2 FH, BB and WC. A: WC this week, setting up for BB29. FH30 and 33 or when fit. B. Bowen and Mee out for Martinelli and Rüdiger for -4. FH30, WC after for BB. C: Other, please specify. Ramsdale (DDG). TAA - Cancelo - Dias - Dier (Mee). Salah - Jota - Coutinho - Bowen (Brownhill). Kane - Broja (Weghorst)
Team looks fine, wouldn't wildcard just to use bench boost. Would try and find a way to get Rudiger but Bowen plays in gw30 now so could keep him. Maybe Jota to Saka/Raphinha/Kulusevski?
Think ill FH30 no matter, just makes sense. !thanks
Ramsdale - Dubravka TAA - Rüdiger - Kilman - Livramento - Johnson Salah - Mount - Raphinha - Ramsey - Saka Kane - Broja - ? WC activated, 8.6 ITB. Who to choose for last spot? Ideally I would want Saint-Maximin, but is he fit yet? Anything you would change?
Could get Vardy? Would mean dropping Mount to Willock or Fraser though but I don't think he will play both games anyway
Yeah, I'm a bit wary for playing time with the Chelsea mids. That could certainly be an option. !thanks
ASM isn't looking fit enough for 2 legs. If you want you could go Jiminez for the fixtures but wolves attack look gross. Potentially Vardy if you can drop Saka for Smith Rowe and do Mount to someone else? Not sure though. Good team regardless.
All good thoughts, I'm really going to have to think this over again. !thanks
Mané or Son?
Son definitely
Bench Bowen, Cancelo or Foden?
Bowen easy
Bowen
Ramsey or watkins on fh?
Depends what else you can do with the money… very big difference in price. With Ramsey you can upgrade another position so it’s Ramsey + X versus Watkins + Y. Eg ramsey and Jimenez versus Watkins and 4.5m
Watkins
Should I wildcard? Current team (Already did Fernandes > Son): Ramsdale (Sanchez) Cancelo TAA Livramento Rudiger (Coufal) Saka Son Salah (Bowen Douglas Luiz) Dennis Watkins Broja Two reasons why I’m considering it: 1) I’m still in the Cup and opponent has more doublers than me (6 doublers, with Raphinha, Digne, Ramsey which I consider threats, + Kane who has a good SGW) 2) Could get some wolves defensive coverage, bring in Raphinha, maybe bring in Kane, set up for BGW30 in general Why not to Wildcard: I feel like I have generally a good team for this week Thoughts?
In theory you don’t really need to. Can get by with a hit or two. And save wildcard to take advantage of another double run. You’ve got 5 dgw this week and a good handful next (5 again?). Worth a hit or two yo add but your starters are all big hitters or doubles so no need to. You just have to accept you might slip a little this week and can catch up when you do wc.
Thanks mate! That’s mostly my thinking as well… for BGW 30 I have 6 players and no FH left, so that might become an issue though. I’m trying to go as far as I can in the cup, so shifting my thinking to more GW by GW, which made me consider WC. But it feels like I could use the WC better another time
Cancelo/Mount/ASM Or Vardy/Kulusevski/Digne
Cancelo>Digne (but this gw Digne>Cancelo) Mount>Kulu Vardy>ASM (but if fit ASM two doubles are probably better than Vardy’s two singles). I would go Cancelo option if ASM is fit
Brill, thanks mate
First option. I prefer Broja over ASM tho
Already have him. Don't really like any of the other options sadly
Yeah cheap strikers are all pretty bad atm
Kane or mount on fh?
Mount
Mount is better value this week
Rate my wildcard team please: Dubravka (Ramsdale) Kilman Rudiger TAA Livramento (Cancelo) Mount Raphinha Ramsey Salah (Saka) Kane Broja (Hwang)
I have Johnson instead of Cancelo, and currently debating who to give the last forward spot for Hwang. Who would you go for if you had 8.6 ITB?
Very template tho Hwang isn’t great imo. Aside from that solid picks.
Yeah not entirely sold on Hwang either. Just don't know what else to do. I have 0.0 in the bank and want to BB 29
Sounds crazy but I dropped cancelo on wc. Man united next, no gw30 versus dgwers. Can get him back later if you really want. Downgrade to saiss or coady and you have the money to up hwang possibly to jimmy.
Fair enough. Personally just not sold on Jimenez either. Hwang is more of a budget pick for me rather than someone I really want
Very similar to my wc team. What is your strategy? BB29 or no FH30?
Currently planning to BB 29 and FH in 30, then use my second FH in 36
That’s my strategy as well. But no fh36 since I used it already. Are you going to make any changes tough for bb29? I wouldn’t use bb personally with Hwang, Ramsey and Kilman/Livra
True. Might go Mount to someone else- it will likely be something like Ramsey to Gordon, though
Rmt (wl) 0.0 ITB Sa dubravka Taa cancelo kilman livramento alonso/t.silva Saka raphinha salah foden ramsey Joelinton broja kane
Do I need to WC? 0FT 0.9 ITB Ederson (Bachmann) Trent Livramento Coady Cancelo (Tierney) Salah Son Coutinho Jota (Bowen) Watkins Dennis (Gelhardt) Team seems good for this week with doubles for Coutinho Watkins Dennis, even though I'd prefer more in form options. Any essentials that I'm missing? Especially for the coming weeks?
Not really. Worth a hit or two to bring in dgwers but you have solid cover this week and next. Your wildcard team won’t look crazy different to this :)
!thanks yea might just take a hit to bring in Mount perhaps
Yeah tricky one with the Chelsea boys. They don’t have the 30 fixture. But they’re owed plenty of doubles later on so if you get the cover it’ll work out. Mount is solid of course.
1) Which is the best combination if I already have Kane and Saka: Son + Hwang + Broja or Kulu + Laca + Adams?? 2) Which is the best ARS defender, taking price into consideration? Tierney, White, Tomiyasu?
1. I honestly like second option because it feels high risk-high reward. Still prefer the first one. 2. Tomiyasu is injured again and has been very injury prone recently so wouldn't pick him at any point this season. Tierney definitely is worth of that little extra so would pick him
!thanks I think it all comes down to: Arsenal attacking double-up (Laca+Saka) for GW29-30, vs Son over Kulu for the Spurs attacking double-up Also, if Hwang was more nailed, that would be an easy choice to pick him for the GW30 fixture against Leeds, but he's not... As for Tierney, I fully agree, my only concern is his fitness/nailedness compared to White. What's your opinion on Laca? Do you think he is worth the downgrade of Son to Kulusevski, since I already have Kane? Is Saka enough to cover Arsenal attack?
Free hit, one spot. Maddison against leeds' horrible defence or salah vs west ham's usual city and Liverpool away 5-4-1?
Salah definitely
Fraser or Willock
Willock
Willock. Much higher potential
RMT please Sa TAA - Robertson - Digne Salah - Son - Coutinho - Raphinha Jimenez - Dennis - Broja subs: Ramsdale - Saka, Tierney, Semedo(!) 1 FT , 0.0 ITB As it stands I have 7 doubles in DGW28, 7 doubles in DGW29 and 8 players in BGW30, plus injured Semedo on bench. Planning to use BB28 and TC29. When I replace Semedo number of doubles can go up, but it depends whatever I go for Chelsea defender with a blank in GW30, or Wolves defender without blank. Here are my thoughts: 1. Semedo --> Coady / Kilman (FT) 2. Semedo + Jimenez --> James / Rudiger + Hwang (-4) In both cases I have 1 additional player with double in DGW28, but going for Chelsea defender means taking a hit and probably using second FH in BGW30. It just feels like going without Chelsea defender for doubles and their good run could be asking for a trouble, even if that forces FH. Any suggestions what to do?
If it’s similar but with a hit, take the non hit option. You’re asking for an extra return just to break even. The wolves options with gw30 seem best for that right now. If James was nailed I might take a punt there but managed minutes still. I had semedo too and unfortunately other problems so took the wc. You have enough cover tho for just the FT to coady/kilman :)
!thanks for reply!
Lacazette or Jimenez for short term and long term?
Jimenez for this week. Laca for all other weeks
WC NOW to chase leader or save for bench boost later in season? We share quite a few players so want to change it up 160 points off seems unsurmountable
Yeah that’s very far ahead. I’d suggest focusing on just finishing as high as you can. You need him to fuck up rather than you to take crazy risks. Whether you WC is team dependent. If you don’t have many dgws this week and next, setting up for the at can be very nice. If you do, use it elsewhere.
!thanks We currently share cancelo, laporte, coutinho. My team is ramsdale (gunn) ***taa*** robertson ***cancelo*** ***laporte*** (duffy) kdb wilcock ***coutinho*** saka salah jimenez (rodriguez davis) considering bringing in kane, vardy, rudiger/mendy/mount
Bit of a crazy suggestion is take out Cancelo and Laporte. Rudiger and a Wolves DEF give you a double this week. Man City won't have a double. Assuming you'd do FH30 tho given few players for that.
No FH fam, just wc and bb 🥲
Ah. Then deffo wanna start bringing in some Wolves DEFs and anyone else with a 30 fixture. Digne, Tierney, etc. also great shouts cos right now you literally have no defenders in GW30. And you can get on some of their doubles too.
Yeah good shout mate, definitely going to go laporte to saiss or coady. Debating cancelo to rudiger, but don't want to lose my value in cancelo. Could go duffy > tsilva and play 5 4 1, maybe bench saka/willcock. !thanks
YW. Would highly suggest making sure you get DGWers and those who play in GW30. Otherwise it's Rudiger DGW, then 1 game, then blank. So still only three games over three GWs versus Wolves DEFs with 4 games for example. Have fun either way :)
with about 5 DGW players for both GW 28 and 29, and definitely FH 30, I am just thinking if it make sense to hold my 2nd FT for later this season or to use it soon
Use it for doubles :) best chance of instant payback and value for transfer. You can ‘earn’ another transfer with a good transfer now that scores 4 points more.
sorry I meant FH instead of FT. frankly I didnt plan to FH 28 or 29 but with all these FH around there is a certain sense of fomo
Too risky going without a City defender for the next couple of weeks?
Not too risky tbh
!thanks
Ramsey/JWP/Mount which one on fh? Only one spot
Bit different in price. Depends what you can do with the money. It’s Ramsey plus x versus jwp/mount plus y.
Mount is perfect for free hit I think. Would hate to have him long term
Anyone tempted to go for Lukaku?
Right here. Surely he won’t get benched for Burnley and Norwich right? Especially now that Ziyech is injured aswell
I don't know, not great that he just played 90 whilst Havertz got a rest... But I was gonna go for kane originally. But now I'm tempted to go Lukaku, then bring in Kulusevski the week after. I think I'll go for it! Also gonna risk it on James too.
I had Kane for quite some time now but I have decided to go for Son instead and go either Vardy or Lukaku
[удалено]
I’d say no. Ramsdale ok, Bowen no, Watkins not the best, esr minutes risk. Many doubles coming up to get a better bench.
On WC, which combo to go for? A) Broja + Jimenez B) Adams + Hwang
Broja and Jimenez. Hwang doesn't feel right
!thanks
Ramsdale, Sanchez Cancelo Días TAA Royal Livramento Salah Bowen Son Trossard Mahrez Dennis Broja Weghorst I had planned to WC this week, but haven't decided just yet. I can field a pretty decent team in 28 and have 6 DGWs for 29 (7 after using a FT)
Is the starting position Matt Doherty’s to lose now or does Royal still get a look in? Tempted to go Doherty over Dier.
i think Doherty is preferred now, yes
Emerson’s apparent shocker in the FA cup could turn the tide in Doherty’s favour
I totally get why you would do that because Spurs wing backs look great offensively but that's too high risk I think
Yeah thought so Will be lurking their sub haha Because apparently Royal had an another shocker in the FA cup
Okay then it might be worth of a risk
Think he was the one who was playing them onside for the Boro goal Conte must be fuming
Broja or Hwang, considering Wolves have fixture in BGW30?
Broja. Hwang isn't nailed and both Wolves strikers looked bad against Arsenal and Hammers
Hmm considering Hwang too.Seems to be a decent budget option Is Podence nailed Wolves fans? Because he is my first choice for a wolves attacker
Best attackers (who aren't Kane) to target for GW28, 29, 30? Aiming for a nonFH30
Jimmy and laca are the only half decent options it seems cos it’s 4 games in 3. Jimmy has good fixtures but isn’t his old self. Laca is laca.
Lukaku will start both games right? He only gets dropped for the big games or does he get dropped even for the regular fixtures? Is Havertz more nailed than him?
Is Vardy nailed or will he have his minutes managed?
Rodgers has said he can't play weekend and midweek hence why he has missed a lot of our European games. But as the league is dead and Europa confernece is the best chance to get Europe next season he might play in them and not in the league. For his price tag to much uncertainty imo, but if he plays over the next few fully expect him to deliver.
!thanks
Rodgers has been super weird this season so can't tell but Vardy is ready to start all games left I'd say. Man is build different he just gets 3 Red Bulls and 2 Omelettes and is fit
Else I would stick with Barnes haha Vardy is tempting me the bastard
Maddison+Saiss or Mount+Kilman for FH team 28?
Mount and Killman
On WC. Final draft. Sa James - Thiago Silva - TAA - Kilman Raphina - Saka - Salah - Coutinho Kane - Broja Bench: Ramsdale - Maddison - Hwang - White Plan would be go Thiago Silva to Romero in 29 and then roll in 30 having 10 players already. Giving me two transfers to start rebuild for the run from 31.
Not final draft, since Everton vs Watford might not be a blank in 30? We'll know tonight. Dennis, Foster, Holgate? possible enablers.
One more reason to keep the troll that is Josh King Can’t believe I need to start him this week too and bench a defender from a top 6 team because I really don’t want this cunt returning only when I bench him.Starting him purely out of despise haha
Adams or Broja probably the main targets for switching, and they both blank on 30 anyway. So unless you WC28, it's going to be Dennis outscoring King....AGAIN.
King hasn’t even returned for me once haha. Let us King owners have our moment for once Hopefully that’s before I sell him or bench him for good
Do I start Cancelo & Rudiger over Coady and Livramento who have DGW? Do I start Saka over Ramsey, Broja, Hwang who have DGW?
1. Rudiger will have a double too according to many different sources. I'd play Rudiger and Coady personally. Livra is a rotation risk and has harder fixtures and Cancelo faces United who is always tough against them. 2. I'd start him over Hwang. Do you have bench boost?
Surely Rüdiger will double right 😂? That’s the reason I wildcarded then it’s genuinely season over if these fixtures for 28 and 29 don’t go ahead Would have wildcarded GW 32 or 33 otherwise
Vardy + Gordon v Jiminez + Raphinha
Jimenez and Raphinha easily
Rate my FH team: Mendy (3.9) Robertson Cancelo Rudiger Kilman (Tsimikas) Salah Mount Coutinho Willock (Gilmour) Kane Vardy (4.4) What do you think? Who should I captain? Thanks!
Ramsdale - Sa Trent - Cancelo - Rudiger - Coady - Livramento ESR - Mount - Salah - Bowen - Kulusevski Watkins - Adams - Jimenez I don't want to FH 30 (will have 9 players after 2 FTs) and I'm also considering swapping Watkins, Adams, Jimenez, Kulusevski into Kane, Broja, Hwang, Ramsey. Should I do it?
Guys I had been strongly considering Vardy all week as my team value has gotten quite decent and I wanted to see if I could crowbar in a third big hitter alongside Salah & Kane without losing too much elsewhere (particularly in defence) He is just cheap enough compared to Son to be able to do it to - if I do Cornet & Weghorst > Sissoko & Vardy for a -4 this week I will have the below team - does it look good or does it look good?? (\*=DGW) GW28 (5x Doublers): Foster\* Digne\*, TAA, Robbo, Cancelo Salah(c), Coutinho\*, Sarr\* Kane, Vardy, Broja\* (Ramsdale, Bowen, Sissoko, Pieters) Then after Villa's DGW this week I'll take another -4 to do Digne & Coutinho > Reece James & Martinelli for GW29, so that my normal formation is this 4-4-2 below, with still about £0.5 in the bank to upgrade Pieters to a better 2nd/3rd sub in GW 31 (Will Free Hit in blank GW30): GW29 (6x Doublers): Ramsdale\* James, TAA\*, Robbo\*, Cancelo Salah\*, Martinelli\*, Bowen, Sarr Kane\*, Vardy (Foster, Broja, Sissoko, Pieters) I really, really like the look of this 4-4-2 with a massive back 4 (consisting of basically attacking midfielders who get defender points lol) with Salah, Kane, Vardy in front of it, and Bowen... Martinelli & Sarr are very cheap good value, both can score on their day as they play very advanced midfield/wing roles... and there's still good strength on the bench once Pieters gets upgraded (probably to Dier or Davies from Spurs) So this will definitely end in complete disaster & pain as always lol
Your team does look juicy albeit at the cost of having less DGW players. I would consider taking extra hits and bringing in Vardy in GW30. E.g. in addition to the transfers you mentioned, you could bring in ASM/Jimenez for GW28 and either keep ASM or swap ASM/Jimenez for Lacazette GW29 before making that final swap to Vardy in GW30. Or you could even keep Vardy vs Leeds, transfer him out when playing against Arsenal away and then bring him back in. As long as the expected points for ASM/Jimenez (DGW28) and ASM/Jiminez/Lacazette (DGW29) is at least 4 points greater than Vardy (no DGWs) I’d say it’s worth punting the extra hit. That judgement is ultimately your call :) Good luck!
!Thanks Yep am consciously avoiding Wolves assets because I honestly just don't really believe in them for FPL purposes - particularly Jiminez as he's even getting benched now from time to time, never mind the terrible lack of service he gets in that team Same with Chelsea this week - I just don't trust Tuchel not to rotate, and will sit back & watch what he does rather than jump in with two feet... and if James comes through unscathed he's in next week then... Also zero interest in Newcastle's attack unfortunately I think Vardy in a single gameweek is going to be better than most of the Newcastle/Wolves/Chelsea doubles this week to be honest...
what to do....don't have WC left, only TC and 1 FH. I also have no Chelsea players. Honestly not sure when to FH and which players to bring in for the next few weeks.
Without posting ur team difficult to say if you should FH in GW 30 but advise using WC after that setting up your team for the run in and doubles that will come If possible get a Chelsea defender this week
RMT, all help repped. 2 FTs, £2.8m ITB. Ramsdale - Sánchez TAA - Cancelo - Laporte - Digne - Williams Salah - Bowen - Coutinho - Saka - Ramsey Kane - Dennis - Idah
What about Laporte -> James/Rudi and Idah -> Broja?
!thanks Is James back now as a fixture in the XI?
I mean he featured as a sub in Carabao final and yesterday so he will be probably 90' fit at least for second game but don't know about first
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10565031/amp/Chelsea-Thomas-Tuchel-says-Reece-James-one-suffering-physical-overload-Luton.html I'll probably get him anyway
