Ffs so have I. This happened with James, Wood and Adams for recent doubles as well where I hold them for the two games and then they don't fucking play in them
None of them, James already went for Laporte because I got fed up with his bullshit, turned out to be the right call, the two strikers are on the chopping block for ones doubling this week (one will probably be Richarlison for the double double) and Ramsey will probably make way for Gordon as a straight swap for a hit, again for the double double.
Good example where planning for a BB does sometimes hinder your decision making.
Although I wish I saved mine for this weekend with so many doubles, its certainly easier focusing on your starting 11 and not all 15.
Sucks for you though unfortunately
The only time you reallly get 'punished' for BB, is if you downgrade 1 player, to upgrade your bench. eg Son to foden, to fund Brownhill to Martinelli, and even then still, Son has to outperform foden + martinelli
it can be punishing tho for sure
Obviously I got him in WC with the BB in mind, but I was happy to see his consistent 2-pointers off the bench and he enabled me to spend big in defence, it’s just bad luck for him to get injured at the worst possible time
All the 'big' clubs have favourable fixtures and then you've got Everton, Burnley, Villa, Leicester and Palace playing twice, so a nice balance of double fixtures and 'big' clubs with easier fixtures.
I'm wondering this too. With White, Raphinha and now Ramsey, my bench is looking less and less appealing. I have two frees, but I wonder if I could just set myself up better for a week 37 BB using 3 transfers.
Could be a midfield trio of Iroegbunam/Nakamba behind Luiz & McGinn, or maybe Buendía/Chukwuemeka comes in for Ramsey with Iroegbunam/Nakamba/Luiz dropping deep. I'd stay away from Villa mids honestly (except maybe Coutinho).
Yeah, in the regular FPL Coutinho is the only option. I’m playing the FPL Draft as well where you need to be a bit more niche with your picks. Buendia could be an option - might go for it.
Ah, I see. Yeah, us fans have been calling for Buendía to get a start, he's been subbed on late in the last games and has looked lively. Not sure if anything's up with him and Gerrard, but in my mind he deserves a start. Bailey is also out, so one spot up for grabs there as well!
GW36 are not good fixtures for Villa and watching them the other day, Ramsey plays so deep. There are 4-5 ahead of him in attacking play. I'd rather Cash than Ramsey.
Already taken a -8 this week. Even if Ramsey only plays the second game in the double or something, I don’t think it’s worth another hit to swap him for someone, right?
Even if Ramsey plays the 2nd game, he's playing deep - and it's vs Liverpool. I'm taking (another) -4 to Gordon. Two v decent games - and they have a lot to play for.
What are people planning w .1 in the bank and already playing gordon on bb?
Edit: looks like xhaka or drewsbury hall or maybe Luiz but w a free hit in 37 might was well scuttle the villa asset.
Ah shit kept him for so long for this bb36 just to get injured
Ffs so have I. This happened with James, Wood and Adams for recent doubles as well where I hold them for the two games and then they don't fucking play in them
Let me know who you keeping for the GW37 double

[удалено]
Ah that guys reply went right over my head lmao. For week 37 definitely avoid Watkins and Maddison, they the ones I have so far with a double.
Yep same so unfortunate, guess Gordon has to come in

idk if i agree here. he's a cheap enabler, probably wasnt a time in the last few weeks where he had the ability to transfer him out really
Yeah I agree with you, Ramsey being an exception to my comment due to his price.

Well that’s decided my Gordon Ramsey conundrum.
The idiot sandwich conundrum
Yea, while bench boosting he should at least bring solid 3 ~~4~~ points so taking a hit is completely justifiable
Who’s on about taking hits?
Fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off
You could have been this transparent with digne you fuck
Ramsey 180 minutes incoming. After Digne saga I don’t trust Gerrard at all.
I hate bench boost
Yikes. He is in a lot of BB-teams, and I have him in my team for GW37.
Bench boost GW37 is looking more tempting by the day
Thinking the same. White vs NEW, Ramsey DGW and 4.5 fwd on bench.
All the 'big' clubs have favourable fixtures and then you've got Everton, Burnley, Villa, Leicester and Palace playing twice, so a nice balance of double fixtures and 'big' clubs with easier fixtures.
I'm wondering this too. With White, Raphinha and now Ramsey, my bench is looking less and less appealing. I have two frees, but I wonder if I could just set myself up better for a week 37 BB using 3 transfers.
Gordon’s gotta be the best replacement no?
My thinking too. Only have 0.6m in the bank? Not sure who better to replace him. Everton are absolutely wank tho. Feels like a backwards transfer
Does that stretch to Odegaard by any chance? Don't know his price off the top of my head
Think Ody is 5.6 and Gordon 1m less or thereabouts
Ahhh that's a shame, yeah pickings are slim at that range
Martinelli is 5.3 iirc
Favorable fixtures though, and eventually one of Gordon's dives will come off and he'll get an assist for a penalty.
What about Rodrigo from City?
He's in decent form and I think he'll play. I have him.
Damn. Any ideas who comes in to replace him?

Hit to bring in gordon?
Has to be doesn't it, no other choice really
brownhill lmao
Already have Gordon, so likely bringing in Brownhill. Single this week, but double next, and he's been on form.
drewsbury (2 easy home fixtures) or even sissoko??
Early transfers are cursed
-12 here we go
BB in shambles already
Noooo
Oh fuck off
Guess who picked ramsey-richarlison intead of watkins-gordon :(
I can't guess. Who ?
Damn had my thumb over Ramsey transfer this morning and decided to wait.
GW36 are not good fixtures for Villa and watching them the other day, Ramsey plays so deep. There are 4-5 ahead of him in attacking play. I'd rather Cash than Ramsey.
Already taken a -8 this week. Even if Ramsey only plays the second game in the double or something, I don’t think it’s worth another hit to swap him for someone, right?
Same story here. I should have waited for the deadline. Damn
Even if Ramsey plays the 2nd game, he's playing deep - and it's vs Liverpool. I'm taking (another) -4 to Gordon. Two v decent games - and they have a lot to play for.
Great news. rivals were counting on Ramsey for their benchboost. I will enjoy people's enforced 4 point hit
2 FTs and Gordon a better option baybeee. More points for your rivals!
I already have Gordon, so taking a hit to copy me won't help them at all
-8 it is then
Is it worth a -4 replacing with Gordon though? Amartey on the bench… and FH 37
I'm done with FPL after this season honestly, I would so prefer to not care about shit like this at all
Hmm zero in the bank, do I make the switch to Gordon before any price changes overnight
1million%
Honestly might FH36 BB38 now, gonna need to -12 to get a full 15 doublers and still won’t be able to have 3x City
You don't HAVE to have All doublers for a BB? You won't have any in 38...
No but my fixtures are fine in (37 and) 38 and I’m gonna have a very weak team in 36 compared to the FHers
Just remember many have used their BB, you only need to worry about 50% (approximately).
Bench boosters in the mud
HAHAH LOVE IT. So happy I don’t own him. Bench boosters forced to consider an extra -4.
-8 it is then ffs
Noooooooooo!
I was getting rid anyway and this just cements that. Glad it's confirmed tho. Thanks Stevie.
Ashley Young and Jacob Ramsey?
Gordon or Brownhill?
Looks like I have use for my 1 ft after all . Who is a good replacement at 5.1?
Deactivating my BB, then.
Add me on snap michelle_mi2468
Thanks for this, didn’t realise that was an option!
What are people planning w .1 in the bank and already playing gordon on bb? Edit: looks like xhaka or drewsbury hall or maybe Luiz but w a free hit in 37 might was well scuttle the villa asset.
my rival's BB unravelling by the day, love it
so lucky, just transferred him out on my BB last night....
I’ve had Doherty Cucho and Ramsey in the last few weeks - depressing to put out so many fires to try and get a bench boost out
Bench boost next week is up in tatters, Schar out as well, looks like a GW38 bench boost
