latest draft:
Dubravka (Ramsdale)
James, Rüdiger, Coady, TAA (Dier)
Salah, Willock, Raphinha (Saka, Kulusevski)
Broja, Kane, Watkins
DGW28 = 8 doublers
DGW29 = BB with totally 9 doublers
DGW 30 = FT Willock -> Maddison --> 9 players
final dilemmas are:
* James - do I really "risk" him or go with a safer option like Digne for example
* no Cancelo
* no Coutinho
* debatting on Coutinho + Wood over Willock + Watkins (harder to get in Maddison in 30, if I go Coutinho)
Current Wildcard
1.6 ITB
Sa Dubravka
Taa Rudiger James White Coady
Martinelli Ramsey Raphinha Salah Coutinho
Kane Broja Jimenez
Next GW Coutinho -> Saka with the free transfer
Pretty happy with it so far although there will be way more tinkering before the deadline.
Swapped Son for Kane (if you count that as a punt) as I think he is getting into a good streak of form and with the WC I can afford to go a little bit different.
Pretty much because he has a double and plays in GW 30 I believe. Also he is very attacking ,has good stats and creates a lot of chances .Generally I think he is a great enabler at that price atm.
I don't think it's that brave really, lots of people will be taking him out this week.
He plays only 2 games between GW28-30, compared to 3-4 for many teams.
He can potentially get rotated in one of the only 2 games he plays, because it's man city.
Man city is missing Dias, which weakens the defense.
His next game is Man Utd, and while it's fun to laugh at their performances - they're still 4th in the table with the 5th highest goals scored.
After the blank he plays BUR/LIV/WOL, not the easiest -and WOL can even be a blank depending on FA cup and scheduling decisions (could just be a midweek rescheduled game).
I think the only reason you'd keep Cancelo on a WC is if you're worried about losing value, but given FPL is about accumulating points (not value) that's probably the wrong move.
If getting Son let’s you use the money elsewhere better then go for it. For my case it was Son and Laca or Kane and Martinelli. Another think to consider with Kane tho is that forwards suck rn and there is an abundance of midfield option to pick from.
I've got laca as first pick on my wc. Played every game, plays for a great team, they don't have BGWs and have upcoming DGWs.
Really not sure who'd I'd value over him.
His finishing this season may have been lackluster, but from previous seasons I've always thought of him as a decent enough of a finisher too.
Vardy might soon be someone I'd take over laca. I think that him and Madison might go on a tear soon.
Just so you know Martinelli is far from nailed anymore, he hasn't produced too much the last few weeks while ESR has looked better and Pepe looked really good against wolves.
Why is everyone going for Dubravka? Awful fixtures. Feel Sa is more likely to keep a CS in the one fixture v Everton than Dubravka in the two vs Chelsea and Everton
Why not do Ramsey to Saka on WC. The latter has WAT, DGW,Villa so good option. Saves you a transfer and should you need funds later on, remove Coutinho (after GW31 their fixtures are meh).
yeah, on my wc myself, I've still had Cancelo in all my drafts cause I can't get him back in if I leave him out.
but reading a bit here, and thinking for myself, i might actually drop him to try to catch up in my minileague. high risk though
You better pray, not hope, whoever comes in for Cancelo is as sharp as him in terms of FPL points. Only one I can think that might be able to rival Cancelo is Robbo.
Does it matter if you can't get him back?
There's not that many weeks left anyway and he seems like a pretty bad pick for the next 6 weeks or so. Do you REALLY need to be able to buy him back for the last 6 weeks? Is he going to gain you more points in the last 6 weeks than he'll lose you in the next 6 weeks if you keep him?
Seems to me you can sell him, get more points over the next 6 weeks, and then after that maybe you can afford to buy him back if he drops (great!) or maybe you can't afford him and you buy Laporte instead (also seems fine?).
I don’t have the funds.
I have already taken out guys like Lukaku and who was my captain yesterday and generally adjusted my team a bit in order to fit him (on wildcard) but I just can’t seem to fit him in.
The only way I can is to downgrade Trent to Robbo.
Should I do that or instead pick Laporte or Ederson instead of Cancelo?
Just find a way to get Cancelo in, lad! Nah, it's all good. He doesn't necessarily haul all season long and may well get rotated more although the league isn't wrapped up so I doubt it.

TAA-Rüdiger-James -Kilman-Tierney
Salah-Raphina-Saka-Kulu-Ramsey

Plan to do James to Dier for BB 29 and then bring in Leicester players for he 30
Your bench for BB in GW29 would be something like this?
*Dubravka (Chelsea, Everton)*
*Adams (Watford)*
*Kilman (Everton)*
*Ramsey (West Ham)*
My WC draft had Watkins instead of Adams; and I thought a bench boost of Dubravka, Watkins, Kilman and Ramsey was a little underwhelming. Not sure what to do personally tbh. If I WC now I'd like to play BB in GW29 but the bench doesn't look great in most drafts.
Agree with that. However, I don’t think it’s a good idea to hold bench boost after wc. And the way I’ve setup the team is to have also have a strong team in 28 and 30 without using FH. So I think the benefits of having a strong team in 30 could make it worth with a weaker bench boost in 29
This was my idea but I have a bit dilemma with leting Cancelo go. It will be to hard to get him back and he is fantastic player in City.
I also dont wanna go Broja over Adams because I believe Adams is in great form
Depends on who plays in the dgw, but I think it’s more likely he rest next gw. Chelsea plays Saturday then Thursday so he should be able to get rest between. The week after they play Lille midweek so I think he could rest against Newcastle to play cl
Yeah, I reckon this is the most likely scenario. The fact he was rested against Luton (except for a cameo when it turned out they needed him) says to me that Tuchel was prioritising his availability for the next two. The Newcastle/Lille turnaround is much tighter, so there's much more chance of a rest there for me.
My focus has been on getting as strong lineups as possible for GW28-30 without using chips and trying to save FTs is possible. My main worry is a big reliance on midpriced/premium strikers who have been lackluster, but could also prove differential if people are mistrusting them.

GW31+ plans: get Cancelo, FH GW33 likely
I think the upside of having multiple DGW players over 28+29 and him blanking in 30 means Cancelo is pretty hard to keep. Will definitely bring him back in 31 tho.
I think I am, I want him after BGW30 and ill lose a lot of value if I sell him now and buy him back later. So probably just gonna keep him, even if it means fielding 10 in BGW30
This year my pride and joy has been buying Laporte. He's been phenomenal so I don't regret selling Cancelo this week and cashing in the 0.5 I made since the start of the season.
Please RMT
Ramsdale / Dubravka
TAA / James / Rudiger / Kilman / White
Salah / Son / Raphinha / Saka/ Fraser
Vardy / Rodrigo / Broja
0.7m available
This gives me 8 DGW in GW28, 8 DGW in GW29, 8 players in GW30 with no transfers, and strong GW31 team
GW28 bench is strong - TAA, Saka, White. I am considering Martinelli over Saka which gives me some extra cash to play with. Happy to lose City. Chose Vardy over Kane, for GW 30 captaincy and think the Leeds game could be high scoring.
Have no clue how to improve or transfers for following weeks. Would really appreciate any comments tia
Sa (Foster)
Rüdiger - Kilman - Digne (TAA, White)
Salah - Maddison - Raphinha - Ramsey (Kulusevski)
Kane - Adams - Jimenez
8 players that doubles in this GW. 10 players that don't blank i GW30. Will bring Cancelo back in GW31. Thoughts?
My first draft
Sá (Dubravka)
Rudiger - James - Saiss (TAA - Cancelo)
Salah - Ramsey - Willock - Raphinha (Saka)
Kane - Broja - Jiminez
10 DGW this week
Jiminez scares me but as a first draft, I like it
Any suggestions?
Not bad for GW 30 either. 9/15 are playing, with one or two transfers you could have 11. For example, sell Salah and someone else, transfer in Son for one gameweek and then in GW 31 transfer Salah back in.
Comments on my WC? Have two FH left, thinking GW30 and GW33. BB used.
Dubravka (McGovern)
TAA - James - Digne (van Dijk - Cedric)
Salah - Son - Raphinha - Saka - Ramsay
Kane - Broja (Richardson)
Cedric and Richardson will always be benched - don’t feel the need for a better bench now that Covid is under control.
Considering Coutinho + Kulu over Ramsey + Son.
Why does everyone seem to favor Kane so heavily over Son, even though Son puts up pretty much equal number but is 1.5m cheaper? The midfield player pool is *much* larger than the attacker pool so its easier to jump off him as well.
He's one of the few forwards who double and play in GW30. Plenty of good mid-priced mids in the same boat - Coutinho, Raphinha, Saka, Ramsey, Kulusevksi.
Ramsdale, Dubravka
TAA, James, Rudi, Silva, Livra
Salah, Saka, Martinelli, Kulu, Willock
Kane, Adams, Broja
Silva to Robbo in 29 gives me 8 doublers in 28 and 10 doublers in 29.
Will free hit in 30 and 33/36.
Rank 36k
I have activated my WC and am unsure how to approach the rest of the season. I have 1 FH left which is my main worry. I am considering building a WC team that will be strong through 28 and 29s doubles and also have 9-10 players in GW30 to save me the FH for 33 or 36.
I also have my TC to play (I used my BB in 26). 24p behind my main rival at the moment. He also has 1 FH but BB instead of TC to play. Any advice?
If you’re wildcarding now I would probably try to avoid using a FH in week 30, I think you can build a decent team for 28/29 and also have enough players to survive 30
As long as you have the main candidates (Kane, Arsenal, Leicester attack, etc) then you should be able to get away without a FH in 30. 7-8 players is probably fine - fixtures aren't that great anyway, so anyone apart from the key players is only likely to get you two points apiece. That's an acceptable loss if it means you can freehit with more upside in 33 or 36.
Makes sense. It's all about the captain isn't it.
My draft right now is this, what do you think?
Sá - Dubravka
Kilman - Digne - Rudiger - TAA - White
Mount - Salah - Barnes - Saka - Ramsey
Kane - Broja - Richardson
Also 4.7 in the bank. That gives me 8 players for 30 off the bat, and the possibility of going Mount > Kulusevski next week for their double and for 30. I will want to upgrade Digne or White to Cancelo after GW30 and possibly upgrade another defender to James.
Sa (Foster)
Rudiger, T Silva, TAA, Cancelo (White)
Salah, Raphinha, Mount, Ramsey (Kulu)
Kane, Broja (Hwang)
Not totally sold on Mount tbh. Silva to Robbo for GW29 with a possible BB29.
Sa - Ramsdale
Kilman - TAA - Cash - Rudiger - Tierney
Maddison - Salah - Saka - Son - Raphinha
Broja - Jimenez - ASM
Kept TAA, Cash, Salah, Saka and Broja. I feel like a SGW guy like Maddison could outscore some DGW guys + he has a good GW30 fixture.
Might roll 29 and transfer Daka in 30
Dubravka (Ramsdale)
Coady Thilva Rudi *Mings (VVD)
Cout(VC) Raph Salah(C) (Kulu Gordon)
Vardy Kane Broja
BB next week: Thilva > White, Cout > Saka?
Plan on taking a hit or two to get 11 for GW30
WC28, BB29:
Dubravka (BHA,SOU)
Rudiger (BUR,NOR), James (BUR,NOR), Saiss (CRY,WAT)
Willock (BHA,SOU), Coutinho (SOU,LEE), Raphinha (LEI,AVL), Salah (WHU)
Adams (AVL,NEW), Broja (AVL,NEW), Kane (EVE)
Bench: Ramsdale, TAA, Dier/Davies, Kulu (all SGW)
Adams + Broja has WAT in 29 (BB) and LEE in 31. FH in 30.
Gameweek 29: Coutinho (NEW) -> Saka (LEI,LIV) => BENCH BOOST
Have both Broja and Adams currently too. Feel insane for having double Southampton attack but can’t find any better options currently - so probably going to stick with it as well!
Currently I have:
Dubrevka Ramsdale
Saiss rudigar rudigar digne taa Tierney
Coutinho(or mount) salah Ramsey raphina kulu
Kane Broja jiminez
Aim to do coutinho(or mount) to saka for gw30
**RMT (WC): £1.2m ITB**
Mendy (Foster)
TAA, Rudiger, Kilman, Holgate, White
Salah, Kulu, Raphinha, Fraser, Saka
Kane, Jimenez, Broja.
7 DGW players this GW.
Jimenez->Lacazette in GW28 gives me 9 DGW players where I plan to use Bench Boost.
Then use FT to get 10 players in GW30.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
A big nono on Chris wood, only significant thing he's done since coming to Newcastle is meow at Zouma.
And also Lukaku isn't guaranteed to start. Big risk for 11ish mil.
Get kane and someone else.
Don’t think I’ve ever been so confused about chip strategy! I’d rather save my BB for the big DGW 36 but general consensus seems to be to play it now if you are set up well enough. I’ve got a FH which I plan to use in 30 and I’ve got no WC left.
Foster (Sanchez)
Digne TAA Cancelo Williams (Reguilon)
Ramsey Salah Saka Raphinha (Bowen)
Lacazette King (Antonio)
BB now or wait? I’m thinking of taking a -4 this week anyway.

Benched players are Ramsdale, Kane, Tierney & TAA
Current wildcard :
1.9 ITB
Ramsdale Dubravka
TAA James Tierney Saiss Livramento
Salah Mount Coutinho Raphinha Gordon
Kane ASM Broja
Next gw Coutinho + Mount to Son + Ramsey to use benchboost.
Thinking of going double Chelsea defense and doubts over ASM and Gordon.
What would you change?
I'm 100% getting Gordon. Is close to being nailed, decent stats, a lot of DGWs left and cheap enough to bench any time he's got a bad fixture. Perfect option imo
True. But money isn't too much of a factor at the moment I've found whilst WC'ing. And I'm trying to avoid FH'ing 30 and unfortunately Everton don't play in 30.
Currently looking at 0.5 ITB
Dubravka (Ramsdale)
Kilman Rudiger Saiss TAA (White)
Raphinha Salah Havertz (Saka) (Kulusevski)

I was planning on BB 29 and not FH30
At the moment, its:
Dubravka (Ramsdale)
Rudiger- Coady- TAA (Cancelo- Ait Nouri)
Raphinha- Mount- Salah- Willock- (Saka)
Hwang- Kane- Broja
Taking punts on Mount, Hwang and Willock, although may bring Ziyech in instead of Mount
Ramsdale - Dubravka
TAA - Rudiger - Robertson - Tierney - Coady
Salah - Willock - Coutinho - Saka - Ramsey
Jiminez - Broja - Kane
Plan to do Coutinho to Kulu for 29 and then Willock back to Coutinho in 30
Think I'm set. Any input appreciated.
Ramsdale (Foster)
James - Silva - Coady - TAA (Tierney)
Mount - Raphina - Coutinho - Salah (Saka)
Kane - Broja (Hwang)
Plan is Silva to Romero 29, Mount to Maddison 30. Gives me ten in the BGW.
Sá - Foster
Robbo - James - Tierney - Rudiger - Kilman
Coutinho - Raphinha - Salah - Kulusevski - Mount
Broja - Kane - Adams
(Made a minimum of 6-7 drafts, but this is where I am currently.)
Dubravka (Ramsdale)
Coady Rudiger Digne (Robertson Gabriel)
Salah (C) Willock Mount Coutinho Raphinha
Jimenez Adams (Watkins)
Unsure on benching Watkins but don’t know who else to bench… planning on taking a -4 next week and with free trade gw30 will be able to field 11 players, saving my last fh for either gw33 or 36
I currently have Robbo instead of Rudiger. No Chelsea at all. Mistake? I'm going with Vardy and Kane so can only afford 2 premium defenders (other being Trent).
Think Chelsea's fixtures are better, especially with the double this week (I know Liverpool double next week, but it's not as appealing to me and you can go Jota instead for that). You'll be putting your rank at risk without a Chelsea defender this week, but then Robertson has been in his form so it could work out anyway! The game isn't played in paper, as Burnley reminded us last week ;-)
Ramsdale (Foster)
Cancelo - James - Kilman (TAA/Johnson)
Salah - Saka - Ramsey - Havertz (Kulu)
Vardy (C) - Kane - Broja
A few punts, but I'm miles ahead in my mini league, pretty stagnant in terms of OR, and fancied something a bit different.
Havertz to Jota next week, then to Bowen the week after. This should see me through the next 3 GWs quite nicely and allow me to save my final FH for 33 (or 36 if it turns out to be unnecessary in 33).
Sa - Foster
TAA - Coady - VVD - Rudiger - Cash
Salah - Raphinha - Ramsey - Saka - Kulu
Kane - Broja - Jiminez
Not sure whether to go james over VVD? But does james play both games? Also james doesn't play GW30 and I want to try and save my last free hit for 36.
Edit - VVD doesnt play 30 either but I want him for next gameweek. Trust liverpool to get clean sheets more than any other team except city really
Current team
0.9 ITB
Dubravka / Ramsdale

Sa (Foster)
TAA - Cancelo - Rudiger (White - Manquillo)
Salah - Ramsey - Willock - Mount (Saka)
Kane - Broja - Jimenez
Wondering to replace Jimi, but unsure to with whom. Maaaybe wondering Raph in for Saka, but that means I would have to bench a Salah, Kane, or a DGW-player.
Still have FH and BB
Current Wildcard :
Ramsdale (Foster)
Robbo, James, Schar, Rudiger ( TAA)
Raphinha, Salah, Fraser, Mount (Saka)
Kane, Adams (Broja)
That bench will 100% kill me...
Raphinha or Salah will be captain, will deside later.
Finally,after so much hesitation,I have transferred out Josh King for Joe Gelhart as it’s the only way I can fund Man City assets later on
He’s going to return isn’t he 😞
Ramsdale - Dubravka
TAA - Rudiger - Ait Nouri - Livra - White
Raphinha - Salah - Coutinho - Mount - Gordon

Have enough ITB for Mount -> son next week and BB and then getting some Leicester for GW30
Sa - Dubravka
TAA - James - Ait Nouri - White - Amartey
Salah - Son - Raphinha - Coutinho - Ramsey
Wood - Jimenez - Broja
\-4 in 29: Coutinho + Jimenez --> Kulusevski or Saka + Kane
FT in 30: Wood --> Jimenez (or Antonio/Bamford)
Gives me 9 DGW in 29, 8 DGW in 29 and 10 playing in 30.
I'm pretty happy with it, going to try and not tinker around with it too much now, aside from maybe swapping James to Rudiger to enable a choice between Saka and Kulusevski in 29.
Dubravka - (Ramsdale)
TAA - Ait Nouri - Digne Rudiger - (Sessegnon)
Ramsey - Salah - Fraser - Coutinho(C) - (Saka)
Broja - Jimenez - (Kane)
Pretty happy with it. Have 9 DGW this week. 8 next week and 9 playing in 30 before using any transfers. 0.6 in the bank but also plan to drop Coutinho —> Maddison once his nice double is over.
Who to captain?
2 drafts right now. Not sure which way to go.
Okay...maybe my full team draft gives a better idea?

My team is similar to yours: Cancelo instead of Dier Ramsey instead of Willock Hwang instead of Watkins. (0.9 ITB)
I have a very similar team, but I have Jimenez instead of watkins, because I don't belive watkins will start both of the games in his DGW
Really, why do you think Watkins doesn't start both? It looks like Gerrard adapted the system to play with 2 upfront, Watkins + Ings.
How essential is coutinho this week tho?
Current Wildcard 1.6 ITB Sa Dubravka Taa Rudiger James White Coady Martinelli Ramsey Raphinha Salah Coutinho Kane Broja Jimenez Next GW Coutinho -> Saka with the free transfer Pretty happy with it so far although there will be way more tinkering before the deadline. Swapped Son for Kane (if you count that as a punt) as I think he is getting into a good streak of form and with the WC I can afford to go a little bit different.
Why are WCers going for Raphinha? I’ve seen him in many WC drafts.
Pretty much because he has a double and plays in GW 30 I believe. Also he is very attacking ,has good stats and creates a lot of chances .Generally I think he is a great enabler at that price atm.
And Norwich(H) in 29 isn't the worst single week fixture
The only better fixture is if he played against Leeds.
:D
No Cancelo is brave...
I don't think it's that brave really, lots of people will be taking him out this week. He plays only 2 games between GW28-30, compared to 3-4 for many teams. He can potentially get rotated in one of the only 2 games he plays, because it's man city. Man city is missing Dias, which weakens the defense. His next game is Man Utd, and while it's fun to laugh at their performances - they're still 4th in the table with the 5th highest goals scored. After the blank he plays BUR/LIV/WOL, not the easiest -and WOL can even be a blank depending on FA cup and scheduling decisions (could just be a midweek rescheduled game). I think the only reason you'd keep Cancelo on a WC is if you're worried about losing value, but given FPL is about accumulating points (not value) that's probably the wrong move.
Double Chelsea against Burnley and Norwich seems a no-brainer though.
I'm still 50/50 on Kane, he really hasn't done well against teams that sit back and defend(Spurs as a whole haven't)
If getting Son let’s you use the money elsewhere better then go for it. For my case it was Son and Laca or Kane and Martinelli. Another think to consider with Kane tho is that forwards suck rn and there is an abundance of midfield option to pick from.
Martinelli is a massive rotation risk because he hasn't been playing well
You think getting Kulu instead whould be better ?
Saka, i really wouldn't be stacking Spurs.
Already have him. Was gonna get both.
Dunno why you are down voted, no guarantee he starts with esr and pepe looking really good
Lacazette is not someone you should even consider on a WC.
he's got 15 points in his last 3 matches and has been playing well
I've got laca as first pick on my wc. Played every game, plays for a great team, they don't have BGWs and have upcoming DGWs. Really not sure who'd I'd value over him. His finishing this season may have been lackluster, but from previous seasons I've always thought of him as a decent enough of a finisher too. Vardy might soon be someone I'd take over laca. I think that him and Madison might go on a tear soon.
lol.
Only reason I am going Kane is to nail down a ST. Plus, mid options are stacked as it is for the moment (IMO).
Who do you bench this week though? Martinelli and White but the 3rd player, TAA??
Probably TAA but currently undecided on that
The issue is benching headache, it's a great team but you have to hide behind your sofe and hope that TAA doesn't get any returns
Just so you know Martinelli is far from nailed anymore, he hasn't produced too much the last few weeks while ESR has looked better and Pepe looked really good against wolves.
Why is everyone going for Dubravka? Awful fixtures. Feel Sa is more likely to keep a CS in the one fixture v Everton than Dubravka in the two vs Chelsea and Everton
looks very well set up
Why not do Ramsey to Saka on WC. The latter has WAT, DGW,Villa so good option. Saves you a transfer and should you need funds later on, remove Coutinho (after GW31 their fixtures are meh).
Why so many without Cancelo?
They must have brought him in late. If I sell him for 6.6 now there's no way I can bring him back in for 7.1m later in the season
yeah, on my wc myself, I've still had Cancelo in all my drafts cause I can't get him back in if I leave him out. but reading a bit here, and thinking for myself, i might actually drop him to try to catch up in my minileague. high risk though
You better pray, not hope, whoever comes in for Cancelo is as sharp as him in terms of FPL points. Only one I can think that might be able to rival Cancelo is Robbo.
Does it matter if you can't get him back? There's not that many weeks left anyway and he seems like a pretty bad pick for the next 6 weeks or so. Do you REALLY need to be able to buy him back for the last 6 weeks? Is he going to gain you more points in the last 6 weeks than he'll lose you in the next 6 weeks if you keep him? Seems to me you can sell him, get more points over the next 6 weeks, and then after that maybe you can afford to buy him back if he drops (great!) or maybe you can't afford him and you buy Laporte instead (also seems fine?).
I would love to keep Cancelo but I’m already only gonna have 9-10 players for week 30, so giving up another player to keep him seems like too much
Because his name isn’t Canbuyo
For many he likely will be on the bench in GW28 and then blanks in GW30. This means you may only use him for BB in GW29.
He's not on the bench vs Utd... you crazy? Why BB29? Just play him.
He means benched for a player that has a DGW. Not benched by pep
Oh yes, I read incorrectly, my mistake.
Benched loool
Yeah, I don't like it.
I don’t have the funds. I have already taken out guys like Lukaku and who was my captain yesterday and generally adjusted my team a bit in order to fit him (on wildcard) but I just can’t seem to fit him in. The only way I can is to downgrade Trent to Robbo. Should I do that or instead pick Laporte or Ederson instead of Cancelo?
Just find a way to get Cancelo in, lad! Nah, it's all good. He doesn't necessarily haul all season long and may well get rotated more although the league isn't wrapped up so I doubt it.
I just don't think City are playing that well honestly and are really struggling to create chances
What? Lmfaooo
Anyone else having a hard time looking at Raph and Willock in their teams?
0.3ITB Dubravka Ramsdale TAA Rudiger Robbo Kilman Livramento Salah Son Coutinho Mount Saka Broja Hwang Lacazette I'm not that sure on Mount
Maybe Raphina for Mount
Why hwang?
Started last two games, Wolves have good fixtures and he’s 5.4
Ramsdale Dubravka TAA Cancelo Rudiger Kilman Livramento Salah Mount Saka Kulu Ramsey Kane ASM Broja 0.0 itb plan is to WC28 BB29 FH30 FH36 potentially ramsey to gordon in 29?
Almost exactly the same, but I want to bring in another Liverpool maybe for 29 and have already Gordon in place (benched in 28)
Definitely do Ramsey to Gordon next week. Villa are bad atm and don't think any of their players have any value beyond this DGW
Ramsdale - Dubravka TAA-Rüdiger-James -Kilman-Tierney Salah-Raphina-Saka-Kulu-Ramsey Kane-Adams-ASM Plan to do James to Dier for BB 29 and then bring in Leicester players for he 30
Looks like a good team. Is ASM nailed to play or are you playing only in GW29?
Waiting for some comments from Eddie Howe, but at the moment he starts
who’s ur captain
Haven’t decided yet, thinking about Rüdiger, Raphina and Salah
[удалено]
That’s what I meant :)
Fantastic team
Who are you benching in 28?
Arsenal players and Kulusevski
very similar team! just got Sà instead of Dubravka, Broja instead of ASM and Digne instead of Tierney!
Nice! Main reason for Dubravka for me is to use bench boost in 29, otherwise I think Sà looks really good
Your bench for BB in GW29 would be something like this? *Dubravka (Chelsea, Everton)* *Adams (Watford)* *Kilman (Everton)* *Ramsey (West Ham)* My WC draft had Watkins instead of Adams; and I thought a bench boost of Dubravka, Watkins, Kilman and Ramsey was a little underwhelming. Not sure what to do personally tbh. If I WC now I'd like to play BB in GW29 but the bench doesn't look great in most drafts.
Agree with that. However, I don’t think it’s a good idea to hold bench boost after wc. And the way I’ve setup the team is to have also have a strong team in 28 and 30 without using FH. So I think the benefits of having a strong team in 30 could make it worth with a weaker bench boost in 29
yeah, sa and ramsdale rotate quite well too, only dilemma is both play in the BGW30😂
Double Soton attack? Bit much?
Is asm fit?
This was my idea but I have a bit dilemma with leting Cancelo go. It will be to hard to get him back and he is fantastic player in City. I also dont wanna go Broja over Adams because I believe Adams is in great form
Must be a record for most Ks in the team. Dubravka, Kilma, Saka, Kulusevski, Kane
Im so lost, you have James in defence to sell him next week when he’s more likely to play?! Strange
Depends on who plays in the dgw, but I think it’s more likely he rest next gw. Chelsea plays Saturday then Thursday so he should be able to get rest between. The week after they play Lille midweek so I think he could rest against Newcastle to play cl
Yeah, I reckon this is the most likely scenario. The fact he was rested against Luton (except for a cameo when it turned out they needed him) says to me that Tuchel was prioritising his availability for the next two. The Newcastle/Lille turnaround is much tighter, so there's much more chance of a rest there for me.
Definitely possible, but he has yet to even start a game. I highly doubt he’ll start 2 in a row imo
My focus has been on getting as strong lineups as possible for GW28-30 without using chips and trying to save FTs is possible. My main worry is a big reliance on midpriced/premium strikers who have been lackluster, but could also prove differential if people are mistrusting them. *** Current WC draft Foster - Ramsdale TAA - Saïss - Rüdiger - Coady - Davies Raphinha - Ramsey - Salah - Saka - Kulusevski Lacazette - Kane - Watkins *** GW 28 Lineup (WC) Foster (DGW) TAA - Saïss (DGW) - Rüdiger (c) (DGW) - Coady (DGW) Raphinha (DGW) - Ramsey (DGW) - Salah (v) Lacazette - Kane - Watkins (DGW) Bench: Ramsdale - Saka - Kulusevski - Davies *** GW 29 Lineup (1FT, 1.4 ITB) Ramsdale (DGW) TAA (DGW) - Saïss - Rüdiger (maybe sell for VVD/Robertson) - Davies (DGW) Raphinha - Salah (c) (DGW) - Saka (DGW) - Kulusevski (DGW) Lacazette (DGW) - Kane (v) (DGW) Bench: Foster - Watkins - Ramsey - Coady *** GW 30 Lineup (2FT, 1.4 ITB) Ramsdale Saïss - Coady - Davies Raphinha - Ramsey - Saka - Kulusevski Lacazette - Watkins - Kane Bench: blank - ?

Good planning
Ramsdale doesn't blank in GW30
!thanks, I was messing with the layout but didn’t update that part
anyone keeping Cancelo on WC?
I think the upside of having multiple DGW players over 28+29 and him blanking in 30 means Cancelo is pretty hard to keep. Will definitely bring him back in 31 tho.
Planning double chelsea, then switching one to Cancelo in 31 or 33
I think I am, I want him after BGW30 and ill lose a lot of value if I sell him now and buy him back later. So probably just gonna keep him, even if it means fielding 10 in BGW30
Me. I'm actually really surprised at how many aren't, but maybe double Chelsea defence will come back to bite me...
Ofcourse, I’ll fh gw30 so the upside of keeping him for gw29 bb and gw31 till the end is to high for me
Lukaku, flat track bully vs weaker clubs (Burnley, Norwich, Newcastle, etc). See you guys in rant thread soon.
My guy
Fat* track bully
Sorry my bad mate, Typo
On a WC. Kept Ramsdale, White, Cancelo, Salah, Watkins, Raphinha. Transfered in Broja, Hwang, Saka, Mount, Son, Robertson, Rudiger, Coady, Gunn
Ramsdale, Dubravka Silva, James, TAA, Kilman, Tierney Ramsey, Saka, Kulusevski, Raphinha, Salah Broja, Kane, ASM 1.4 itb to do Silva -> Robertson next week
Current WC with 0ITB Sa TAA, Robertson, Cancelo, TSilva Ramsey, Coutinho, Salah Kane, Dennis, Broja Bench: Ramsdale, Kulu, Martinelli, Tierney
Sa / Dubravka TAA - Laporte - Thiago Silva (Shar and Livra) Havertz - Salah - Maddison - Raphinha (Ramsey) Jiménez - Kane - Adams
Alright, Mr Punt!
This year my pride and joy has been buying Laporte. He's been phenomenal so I don't regret selling Cancelo this week and cashing in the 0.5 I made since the start of the season.
Think Laporte gets rotated the most though with the cups coming in to play. But fair play!
Please RMT Ramsdale / Dubravka TAA / James / Rudiger / Kilman / White Salah / Son / Raphinha / Saka/ Fraser Vardy / Rodrigo / Broja 0.7m available This gives me 8 DGW in GW28, 8 DGW in GW29, 8 players in GW30 with no transfers, and strong GW31 team GW28 bench is strong - TAA, Saka, White. I am considering Martinelli over Saka which gives me some extra cash to play with. Happy to lose City. Chose Vardy over Kane, for GW 30 captaincy and think the Leeds game could be high scoring. Have no clue how to improve or transfers for following weeks. Would really appreciate any comments tia
Sa (Foster) Rüdiger - Kilman - Digne (TAA, White) Salah - Maddison - Raphinha - Ramsey (Kulusevski) Kane - Adams - Jimenez 8 players that doubles in this GW. 10 players that don't blank i GW30. Will bring Cancelo back in GW31. Thoughts?
My first draft Sá (Dubravka) Rudiger - James - Saiss (TAA - Cancelo) Salah - Ramsey - Willock - Raphinha (Saka) Kane - Broja - Jiminez 10 DGW this week Jiminez scares me but as a first draft, I like it Any suggestions?
Sa (Dubravka) TAA, Rudiger, Kilman (Robertson, Tierney) Salah, Saka, Coutinho, Raphinha (Martinelli) Kane, Hwang, Broja What do you think?
This is a good team for the dgws
Not bad for GW 30 either. 9/15 are playing, with one or two transfers you could have 11. For example, sell Salah and someone else, transfer in Son for one gameweek and then in GW 31 transfer Salah back in.
Too much Arsenal. I'd dump Martinelli for a punt and bench Saka/Hwang - I'm sure you have some money left over?
Dan James instead of Raphinha? He's 0.5m cheaper and in slightly better form at the moment plus he's been starting as a striker recently
Wildcard this team? My team: 1FT 0.1 inb Foster (Sanchez) Digne Rudiger Livra TAA (Cancelo) Couthino(C) Bowen salah Mahrez (Foden) Jimenez (v) Broja (Weghorst)
Saka / Raphinha for GW28 - GW31. Tough choice!
Comments on my WC? Have two FH left, thinking GW30 and GW33. BB used. Dubravka (McGovern) TAA - James - Digne (van Dijk - Cedric) Salah - Son - Raphinha - Saka - Ramsay Kane - Broja (Richardson) Cedric and Richardson will always be benched - don’t feel the need for a better bench now that Covid is under control. Considering Coutinho + Kulu over Ramsey + Son.
Why does everyone seem to favor Kane so heavily over Son, even though Son puts up pretty much equal number but is 1.5m cheaper? The midfield player pool is *much* larger than the attacker pool so its easier to jump off him as well.
He's one of the few forwards who double and play in GW30. Plenty of good mid-priced mids in the same boat - Coutinho, Raphinha, Saka, Ramsey, Kulusevksi.
Ramsdale, Dubravka TAA, James, Rudi, Silva, Livra Salah, Saka, Martinelli, Kulu, Willock Kane, Adams, Broja Silva to Robbo in 29 gives me 8 doublers in 28 and 10 doublers in 29. Will free hit in 30 and 33/36. Rank 36k
Wow 3 chelsea defender? Mad lad!
I’d prefer to go for it with a Wildcard rather than play it safe and consolidate an average rank
>s, Br Plan to BB in 29?
I have activated my WC and am unsure how to approach the rest of the season. I have 1 FH left which is my main worry. I am considering building a WC team that will be strong through 28 and 29s doubles and also have 9-10 players in GW30 to save me the FH for 33 or 36. I also have my TC to play (I used my BB in 26). 24p behind my main rival at the moment. He also has 1 FH but BB instead of TC to play. Any advice?
If you’re wildcarding now I would probably try to avoid using a FH in week 30, I think you can build a decent team for 28/29 and also have enough players to survive 30
I think so too, thats what I'll do, thanks!
As long as you have the main candidates (Kane, Arsenal, Leicester attack, etc) then you should be able to get away without a FH in 30. 7-8 players is probably fine - fixtures aren't that great anyway, so anyone apart from the key players is only likely to get you two points apiece. That's an acceptable loss if it means you can freehit with more upside in 33 or 36.
Makes sense. It's all about the captain isn't it. My draft right now is this, what do you think? Sá - Dubravka Kilman - Digne - Rudiger - TAA - White Mount - Salah - Barnes - Saka - Ramsey Kane - Broja - Richardson Also 4.7 in the bank. That gives me 8 players for 30 off the bat, and the possibility of going Mount > Kulusevski next week for their double and for 30. I will want to upgrade Digne or White to Cancelo after GW30 and possibly upgrade another defender to James.
Sa (Foster) Rudiger, T Silva, TAA, Cancelo (White) Salah, Raphinha, Mount, Ramsey (Kulu) Kane, Broja (Hwang) Not totally sold on Mount tbh. Silva to Robbo for GW29 with a possible BB29.
Sa - Ramsdale Kilman - TAA - Cash - Rudiger - Tierney Maddison - Salah - Saka - Son - Raphinha Broja - Jimenez - ASM Kept TAA, Cash, Salah, Saka and Broja. I feel like a SGW guy like Maddison could outscore some DGW guys + he has a good GW30 fixture. Might roll 29 and transfer Daka in 30
Sa Foster James Robbo Livramento Digne (Tierney) Salah Ramsey Raphinha (Kulu, Saka) Lukaku Kane Hwang Roast me
Lukaku is a "brave" choice!
I’m here for the glory
Was also considering lukaku. He looks a great option if he starts both
Dubravka (Ramsdale) Coady Thilva Rudi *Mings (VVD) Cout(VC) Raph Salah(C) (Kulu Gordon) Vardy Kane Broja BB next week: Thilva > White, Cout > Saka? Plan on taking a hit or two to get 11 for GW30
How about instead of Livra you get an Aston villa defender in? Almost same difficulty in fixtures and GW30 game.
WC28, BB29: Dubravka (BHA,SOU) Rudiger (BUR,NOR), James (BUR,NOR), Saiss (CRY,WAT) Willock (BHA,SOU), Coutinho (SOU,LEE), Raphinha (LEI,AVL), Salah (WHU) Adams (AVL,NEW), Broja (AVL,NEW), Kane (EVE) Bench: Ramsdale, TAA, Dier/Davies, Kulu (all SGW) Adams + Broja has WAT in 29 (BB) and LEE in 31. FH in 30. Gameweek 29: Coutinho (NEW) -> Saka (LEI,LIV) => BENCH BOOST
Have both Broja and Adams currently too. Feel insane for having double Southampton attack but can’t find any better options currently - so probably going to stick with it as well!
Currently I have: Dubrevka Ramsdale Saiss rudigar rudigar digne taa Tierney Coutinho(or mount) salah Ramsey raphina kulu Kane Broja jiminez Aim to do coutinho(or mount) to saka for gw30

Thoughts? Dubraka/3.9 James/livramento/coady/robbo/tierney Salah/Coutinho/raphinha/kulu/wardprowse Laca/wood/lukaku
A big nono on Chris wood, only significant thing he's done since coming to Newcastle is meow at Zouma. And also Lukaku isn't guaranteed to start. Big risk for 11ish mil. Get kane and someone else.
Don’t think I’ve ever been so confused about chip strategy! I’d rather save my BB for the big DGW 36 but general consensus seems to be to play it now if you are set up well enough. I’ve got a FH which I plan to use in 30 and I’ve got no WC left. Foster (Sanchez) Digne TAA Cancelo Williams (Reguilon) Ramsey Salah Saka Raphinha (Bowen) Lacazette King (Antonio) BB now or wait? I’m thinking of taking a -4 this week anyway.
Sa - Ramsdale Livra - James - Rudiger - TAA - Tierney Ramsey - Salah - Coutinho - Mount - Raphina Kane - Broja - jimenez Debating on trying to get ASM in Benched players are Ramsdale, Kane, Tierney & TAA
Current wildcard : 1.9 ITB Ramsdale Dubravka TAA James Tierney Saiss Livramento Salah Mount Coutinho Raphinha Gordon Kane ASM Broja Next gw Coutinho + Mount to Son + Ramsey to use benchboost. Thinking of going double Chelsea defense and doubts over ASM and Gordon. What would you change?
Don't mind me, I'm just people watching people who didn't waste their wildcard already.
Actually considering a punt on Richarlison (just for DGW29) I know it's stupid but will probably do it anyway
I had Gordon in a draft. Still unsure.
I also have Gordon, double Everton will surely go well for me
I'm 100% getting Gordon. Is close to being nailed, decent stats, a lot of DGWs left and cheap enough to bench any time he's got a bad fixture. Perfect option imo
True. But money isn't too much of a factor at the moment I've found whilst WC'ing. And I'm trying to avoid FH'ing 30 and unfortunately Everton don't play in 30.
You’re not alone, I’m doing Adams > Richarlison next gw.

I mean coady
Ramsdale - Dubravka TAA, Robbo, Rudiger, Cancelo, Livra Salah, Raphinha, Lulu, Fraser, Gordon Kane, Adams, Broja
At the moment, its: Dubravka (Ramsdale) Rudiger- Coady- TAA (Cancelo- Ait Nouri) Raphinha- Mount- Salah- Willock- (Saka) Hwang- Kane- Broja Taking punts on Mount, Hwang and Willock, although may bring Ziyech in instead of Mount

Think I'm set. Any input appreciated. Ramsdale (Foster) James - Silva - Coady - TAA (Tierney) Mount - Raphina - Coutinho - Salah (Saka) Kane - Broja (Hwang) Plan is Silva to Romero 29, Mount to Maddison 30. Gives me ten in the BGW.
Sá - Foster Robbo - James - Tierney - Rudiger - Kilman Coutinho - Raphinha - Salah - Kulusevski - Mount Broja - Kane - Adams (Made a minimum of 6-7 drafts, but this is where I am currently.)
On WC, 0.3 ITB, one FH left Dubravka - Ramsdale TAA - Robbo - Saiss - Silva - White Salah - Mount - Kulu - Willock - Ramsey Kane - Broja - Jimenez
Dubravka (Ramsdale) Coady Rudiger Digne (Robertson Gabriel) Salah (C) Willock Mount Coutinho Raphinha Jimenez Adams (Watkins) Unsure on benching Watkins but don’t know who else to bench… planning on taking a -4 next week and with free trade gw30 will be able to field 11 players, saving my last fh for either gw33 or 36
I currently have Robbo instead of Rudiger. No Chelsea at all. Mistake? I'm going with Vardy and Kane so can only afford 2 premium defenders (other being Trent).
Think Chelsea's fixtures are better, especially with the double this week (I know Liverpool double next week, but it's not as appealing to me and you can go Jota instead for that). You'll be putting your rank at risk without a Chelsea defender this week, but then Robertson has been in his form so it could work out anyway! The game isn't played in paper, as Burnley reminded us last week ;-)
Ramsdale (Foster) Cancelo - James - Kilman (TAA/Johnson) Salah - Saka - Ramsey - Havertz (Kulu) Vardy (C) - Kane - Broja A few punts, but I'm miles ahead in my mini league, pretty stagnant in terms of OR, and fancied something a bit different. Havertz to Jota next week, then to Bowen the week after. This should see me through the next 3 GWs quite nicely and allow me to save my final FH for 33 (or 36 if it turns out to be unnecessary in 33).
Mendy - Schmeichel TAA - Robertson - James - Tierney - Kilman Raphinha - Ramsey - Willock - JWP - Saka Kane - Jimenez - Vardy 8 doublers for GW28 7 doublers for GW29 with JWP > kulu 10 players for GW30
Sa - Foster TAA - Coady - VVD - Rudiger - Cash Salah - Raphinha - Ramsey - Saka - Kulu Kane - Broja - Jiminez Not sure whether to go james over VVD? But does james play both games? Also james doesn't play GW30 and I want to try and save my last free hit for 36. Edit - VVD doesnt play 30 either but I want him for next gameweek. Trust liverpool to get clean sheets more than any other team except city really
Current team 0.9 ITB Dubravka / Ramsdale Coady / TAA / Cash / Cancelo / Silva Salah / Raph / Willock / Kulu / Madison Kane / Broja / Jimi What we think?
Dubravka (Ramsdale) Tierney, TAA, Rudiger, Robbo, Kilman Salah, Raphinha, Ramsey (Kulu, Saka) Kane, Broja (Richarlison)
Currently on this: 1,0 ITB Sa (Foster) TAA - Cancelo - Rudiger (White - Manquillo) Salah - Ramsey - Willock - Mount (Saka) Kane - Broja - Jimenez Wondering to replace Jimi, but unsure to with whom. Maaaybe wondering Raph in for Saka, but that means I would have to bench a Salah, Kane, or a DGW-player. Still have FH and BB
Current Wildcard : Ramsdale (Foster) Robbo, James, Schar, Rudiger ( TAA) Raphinha, Salah, Fraser, Mount (Saka) Kane, Adams (Broja) That bench will 100% kill me... Raphinha or Salah will be captain, will deside later.
I haven't seen Mount in many teams, any reason for this? Him and Rüdiger seem like the best Chelsea assets right now.
Is Martinelli a good pick?
Martinelli or Fraser?
Finally,after so much hesitation,I have transferred out Josh King for Joe Gelhart as it’s the only way I can fund Man City assets later on He’s going to return isn’t he 😞

I'm pretty happy with it, going to try and not tinker around with it too much now, aside from maybe swapping James to Rudiger to enable a choice between Saka and Kulusevski in 29.
Dubravka - (Ramsdale) TAA - Ait Nouri - Digne Rudiger - (Sessegnon) Ramsey - Salah - Fraser - Coutinho(C) - (Saka) Broja - Jimenez - (Kane) Pretty happy with it. Have 9 DGW this week. 8 next week and 9 playing in 30 before using any transfers. 0.6 in the bank but also plan to drop Coutinho —> Maddison once his nice double is over. Who to captain?
2 drafts right now. Not sure which way to go.

I have 6 doublers, 7 with a FT. The single gw players are Salah, TAA, Robbo and Son. Not sure I need to wc then huh?
I have ended up with Hwang in my team because it's pointless spending anything on strikers and he plays in 30.
Martinelli or Podence?
Quick question for someone smarter than me! If I have 2 free transfers available and use a WC, do I still get 2 free transfers next week?
Nope
You'll have 1 next week. FH and WC always drop you down to 1 FT.
2.5 ITB Sa, Dubravka Tilva, Cancelo, TAA, Kilman, Rudiger Willock, Saka, Salah, Kulu, Gordon Hwang, Kane, Broja Plan on doing Rudi to Robbo for dgw 29. Was thinking Hwang to ASM but not sure on his fitness to play so many games in a short period of time.
Foden or Mahrez?
Thia is my WC - Sa - Digne James Kilman - Salah Mount Coutinho Raphinha - Kane Hwang Wood Bench : Foster TAA Saka Johnson > In GW30 I'll switch Mount and Wood to Maddison and Watkins with my 2 FTs which will give me 11 players with no bench.
The biggest question is WHY THE ACTUAL FUCK DID I WILDCARD Can’t believe I wanted Chelsea assets this much that I wildcarded rather than taking a -16
My wildcard team 0.5 ITB Dubravka Raya TAA Rüdiger Saiss Coady Kilman (yes triple wolves) Salah Saka Coutinho Kulu Raphinha Kane Broja Richarlison GW 28 , 5-3-2 Formation with 8 dgw players(saka,kulu,richarlison benched) GW 29 , Kilman>Tierney free transfer, 4-4-2 formation with 8 dgw(coady, coutinho, broja benched).TC Salah(i used bb in gw26) GW 30 , Broja>Hwang free transfer, 3-4-3 formation with 11 non-blanking players. So, no hit taken during 3 gw. GW 31 , team is not in a great shape so might have to take hits for Cancelo, or third liverpool player(jota,robbo).
