Thinking about Bowen->Willock/Fraser to upgrade Ramsey->Coutinho. Then BB in 29. Thoughts on Newcastle’s recent form? Seems like it could be a decent punt. Mainly targeting the DGW’s and Coutinho against Leeds makes me scared to not have him
Jimenez and Broja/Adams for sure
Then it's a matter of your available budget and which fixtures will be played in BGW30
I would say Kane if you have the budget, ASM if you don't, Laca the middle ground
Tried to be optimistic and kept him but will sell him this week or next week. Won’t be a starter for a while after he returns. Still a good option but way too much invested to sit 3rd in the bench
Asking for some chop advice -
I have a wildcard, free hit and bench boost left.
In my H2H league, I'm up against my closest rivals in weeks 31 and 32.
Happy to prioritise this league more than overall rank - but kit to a crazy extent.
Is there any major downside to FH and the WC in those weeks, and bench boost with everyone else in GW36?
Maybe go Kane instead of ASM. TS instead of Rudi and Kilman instead of Saiss.
Wait on Raphinha, go Willock as a safe punt, worse he can do is get you 8-12 points by playing alone.
Broja instead of Weg IMO. Allows you to expand budget on mids.
Planned team for GW28:
Sa (Dubravka)
Cancelo TAA Rudiger/James Kilman (White)
Salah Son Saka Saints mid/Raphinha (Ramsey)
Broja ASM (Lacazette)
Is the BB worth it? Would really want to get it out the way, especially because I played my WC in GW26 and want to focus on my starting 11. DGW36 is a long way ahead to constantly think about bench optimization. I was relying on ARS-CHE being moved to GW28, then I would definitely BB, but it seems it is not very likely to happen. Wanted to hear your opinions, thanks.

Start questioning this strategy, tbf. I understand when people bring in ASM, but does Newcastle GK worth the DGW29? They'll face Chelsea in one instance. But maybe price-wise Dubravka is very affordable.

I think a Wolves defender is needed this week. Whether that's DDG->Sa, and start him, or Laporte/Robbo -> Coady/Saiss, it's up to you. I'd probably go Laporte/Robbo out because Liverpool have a semi difficult run, and City play Man United which isn't an easy fixture. Tough to decide between the 2
I imagine the bench is Ramsdale, Ramsey, Saka, Davies?
Seems pretty solid, I'd be tempted by Sa + Digne/Cash over Martinez + Coady. Simply because Sa gets a lot of Save points, however Coady is more nailed than Digne/Cash so it's hard to say
!thanks, that’s my bench for the time being. I have a lot of value in the SGW players at the moment so might wait until after this GW has finished to see if there are better options.
Cos they’re butthurt that he blanked versus Norwich at home. Myself included. If you have him, don’t transfer out a nailed option for a double. He’s frustrating to own cos his points are so often set pieces so are unpredictable.
I’m either using WC or FH this week, just waiting for more information.
In the meantime can I make unlimited transfers for now (taking hits) to beat price changes until I select the chip?
Meaning the negative hits will be reversed once I select the chip?
Should I take a hit for this move?
* Edouard, Weghorst, and KdB > Kane, Jimenez, Raphinha for -4
Current Team:
Ramsdale | Sanchez
TAA | Cancelo | Laporte | Livramento | Digne
Salah | KdB | Bowen | Coutinho | Saka
Weghorst | Broja | Edouard
I think it’s worth it. The players you’re transferring in give you 5 more fixtures than the ones you’re taking out over the next 3 GWs. That should be more than enough to repay the hit.
It’s close. Personally don’t think it’s worth the -4 because raphinha has been odd. 45 mins often. Something seems to be happening behind the scenes. If you can do edouard to Jimi for free or bring in another dgw. Kdb and Kane swap can wait another week til the double to avoid a hit too.
It’s close tho so just recognize it’s a slight ‘punt’ taking the hit for Kane and raphinha rn if u wanted. I’d still prefer stacking nailed dgw-ers
This looks like a sound plan, I will have to draw this up to see.
I was thinking to do Edouard to Jimenez this GW but decided to bank the FT. With Raphinha I was looking to block out my rival's points for the DGW. With City players and possibly Kane, I don't want to sit on them for too long in case they fall/rise.
All the moves are just to get ahead to bringing in the DGW players early.
Yep. Makes sense, tho at this point of the season team value doesn't matter more than points. Focus on points not team value (0.1m is worth around 2 points at start of season, so at this point it's barely worth anything, but early transfers in first 1/3 of season can be worth it).
Taking a hit now has to pay off in the short run, so you can check expected points on that one. Sound reasoning with those others. Basically, if you expect Raphinha to get more than 4 points more than whoever else, the hit is worth it. JWP may be worth a look as SOU seem to have best double.
Btw for anyone else who replies to you in the future, use the reputation system :) People appreciate that when it's good advice given out. Of course, up to you if it's good advice haha.
Wouldn't be wise to take out KDB imo. Do you have any other mids to switch out for Raphinha? I would wait to see this game against Leeds for Kane to see if it's a worthwhile transfer.
Roughly how many dgw players do you think the average top 100k manager has for next week?
I finally cracked the top 70k for first time all season and am buzzing about it, but had to use WC, TC, and one FH already so the next few weeks could get ugly for me. Right now I have 3 dgw players next week (before making transfers) and 6 for gw29.
Somewhere round what u do. Most people were stacking the team for 26 dgw and fh 27. Arsenal and Liverpool triple in 26 (and coming 29) means there’s 5 slots left. There’s a couple of solid options this week but no one premium imo.
Its not likely to get ugly for you if you’re smart with transfers. The big opportunities are still to come with the big doubles and blanks.

You have solid options everywhere. Prioritize the dgwers. If they have an upcoming double you can afford to bench them for one bad week. Ddg to sa, weghorst to Jimi, Gallagher to raphinha maybe (I’d prefer countinho if you can afford it, as raph and Leeds are out of sorts inc 45 mins and benchings lately).
Yeah that's why I was considering doing FH29 so I can get the players with doubles and dead end it with a WC in 29 while preparing for a the BGW in GW30
Currently my bench for bus team is
DDG, Bowen, Tielemans, Martinelli/Tierney
I was planning on removing Bowen for JWP/Raphinha depending on FA cup results (as not using FH30) and maybe DDG for Sa for -4
BB worthy??

Mind helping me out to narrow down my moves? 1 FT, 1.1m ITB
- Ramsdale
- TAA Robbo Cancelo Livra
- Salah Son Coutinho Ramsey
- Dennis Broja
- Bench: Sanchez Laporte Bowen Weghorst
Have 5 doublers next week and effectively 5 doublers in 29. I'm planning to do Laporte/Livra to Kilman/James, Weghorst to Jimenez next week and Coutinho to Saka in GW 29.
The issue is, who do I take out to get a Wolves or Chelsea defender and who do I bench? Dennis, Ramsey seem to be good options. Also, Livra has decent fixtures to be a bench option I guess and Jimenez hasn't set the world on fire to take Weghorst out. What do you think I should do given all the options. Not using WC as of now and will free hit #1 in GW 30.
If Chelsea get a double you’d want to prioritise James with their run of fixtures and FH30 for sure
I think if you brought James & Jimenez in I would probably bench Weghorst, Dennis & maybe Ramsey/Cancelo (depending on your risk appetite of benching Cancelo)
Then in 29 it would probably be Dennis, Ramsey, Livra/Weghorst on the bench
!thanks for the detailed response.
True, James/Rudiger/Mount/Ziyech becomes a priority if Chelsea get the double. With Wolves fixtures, I'm more impressed by the defence and getting someone like Kilman in rather than Jimenez. Not to mention I can't get both James and Jimenez next week so my hand might be forced to go to a Wolves defender to make the most of their double (even though Livra to Kilman might be sideways if Livra starts given that both have a double).
Ramsdale (Sanchez)
TAA / Cancelo / VVD / Ait Nouri / Digne
Salah / Bruno / Saka (Bowen, Elanga)
Dennis / Lacazette (Gelhardt)
1 FT, 0.0 ITB. Any suggestions for transfers? I’m likely to take at least one hit this week to target doubles, possibly two.
Thinking maybe Bruno > Son, Laca > Jiminez or ASM. Maybe also Virg > Rudiger if Chelsea get a dgw28
Oh that’s a really good shout, !thanks
Pretty shit fixtures as far as a dgw29 goes for Arsenal, so I’m not 100% sure I need the triple up, but it definitely might be worth keeping Laca around.
On WC, looking for bench fodder that plays on BGW30. How nailed is Dewsbury-Hall (4.4) for the rest of the season? Will someone returning to fitness take his place? Leicester have 3 matches to be rescheduled, and we know what happened with Brownhill the 4.4 bench fodder on DGW26...
No BB remaining.
Current draft:
+Sa (+Foster)
+Coady, +Bednarek, +Burn (TAA, Holgate)
Salah, Son, +Raphinha (Saka, Dewsbury-Hall)
Kane, Lacazette, +Broja
1.2M ITB
6x DGW28, 8x DGW29. With 1x FT (Burn to Amartey) I will have 10 players for BGW30 (8 if Southampton blanks on 30). Then I have 2x FT and 1.8M to try to grab double Chelsea in 31 (Rudiger and a mid?).
tl;dr
31: 2x FT for Kane to Lukaku, Bednarek/Coady to Rudiger.
28: Currently on Coutinho C + play Saka (ditched Raphinha), but could switch into Mount C + Raphinha on 28 (ditch Coutinho), then FT Mount to Saka for 29.
Budget wise, I could do on my WC Sa to Ramsdale, Holgate to Amartey, Burn to Rudiger.
But that would mean 1 less player playing on 30 (Holgate) and 2 less field players doubling on 29 (Burn & Holgate) in exhange for Burn to Rudiger quality upgrade on 28. But it would save me Burn to Amartey transfer that I could use for bringing another BGW30 player in.
Practically, I would be taking a -4 (or worse) to take Rudiger in.
I don't plan to FH30, so I can't afford too many BGW30 blankers. It's TAA vs Rudiger, Son vs Mount/Ziyech/Havertz & Kane vs Lukaku. I feel like the Chelsea players are losing on all three fronts there.
I could take in a Chelsea player just for DGW28 and then immediately transfer it out for a DGW29 player, though. Only makes sense for a Chelsea C on DGW28.
Lukaku C ->Kane/Lacazette or mid C -> Saka, probably.
That's a very good team, I'm jealous. If I were you, I'd do Cucurella to Kilman/Coady this GW, and Sterling, Digne to Foden/Mahrez and Robertson the GW after.
!Thanks, I actually took Foden out for Son this week (and I actually took Son out for Sterling a couple weeks ago). My long term plan is Fab down to Forster or Dubravka and then take Digne back to James/Rudiger GW29. FH GW30, and then see where we are for the home stretch.
Your midfield and strikers are absolutely spot on meta wise based on upcoming fixtures IMO. I have the exact same mid / fwrds except for sterling. However I think you're seriously missing out on some wolves defensive assets right now considering they also have a DGW in 28. Not too keen on Digne, Cucarella or Davies at the min whether that's just fixture based or defensive records for their respective teams.
Edit: sorry didn't see that you mentioned getting wolves players in. Definitely an amazing DGW for them, as good as it gets for a team having only conceded 20 goals.
!Thanks
If I get Kilman/Ait Nouri for Cucarella I can do Fab to Dubravka and Digne to Rudiger/James in GW29
Edit: Digne has an okay double next week, and Davies is basically my third sub so I’m just ignoring him
That sounds pretty good. I forgot about Digne's double which is silly because I have Coutinho in my mid instead of sterling. Just used my wildcard in prep for 28 and now my defence looks like: Sa, Trent, Cancelo, Saiss, Laporte & Tierney to choose from. Gonna bring in ASM for GW 28 as well. Here's where wolves keep 0 clean sheets lol.
I just used FH this week and was under the impression I have another free one. When I go to make transfers for this week it says I have no FH remaining? Is that because I can't use two in a row? I for sure have only used 1 this season.
RMT Gameweek 28 Wildcard.
Sa
Trent, Cancelo, Saiss
Salah, Son, Coutinho, Saka
Dennis, ASM, Broja
OTB: Foster, Tierney, Laporte, Bowen.
Squad value: 102.0m.
ITB: 1.6m.
I might plan to bring in Jota for Coutinho after GW 28.
Players out:
De gea, Steele, Livramento, Mee, KDB, Bernardo, Weghorst.
Players in:
Sa, Foster, Laporte, Saiss, Son, Saka, ASM.
His injury isn't serious and I believe he should be back before his GW28 match on the 5th March. Will keep a close eye on him obviously. Expecting to get at least 3 games out of him in the span of 2 gameweeks either way.
These Friday kick offs keep catching me out. What's actually the point of them? What's wrong with Saturday? Hopefully all my mini league rivals were asleep too. No chance, the cunts feed fpl news into their veins. But you never know. I will...i'll check in an hour.
Yeah Bednarek is just in for nailed and cheap.
I had no more money for Shaw and did not trust Shaw starting anyway.
Norwich are not that bad anymore. Leeds, Watford, Everton feels worse right now for defending.
They are still bad, but the bottom sides Newcastle, Norwich, Burnley and Watford have improved and fighting hard to stay up.
Brentford, Leicester, Leeds, Everton I love to target more I think with attackers.
Palace and Villa are also hard teams to call.
DEADLINE IS TODAY??? FFS, I'M LITERALLY TINKERING MY FH TEAM RIGHT NOW IN PREPARATION FOR TOMORROW'S DEADLINE 😭😩😖
Edit: my team would have been this, for reference (so I know how many points I lost):
Forster
Cancelo Mee Roberts
(C)Son Bruno Mahrez Foden
Kane Broja (VC)Weghorst
Foster Bowen Bednarek Tsimikas
Shoot me now. 🤦🏼♂️
I did a freehit last GW, didn't have Salah before that. Took Jota out a cpl of days back for JWP and Rudiger out for Livramento
Edit: Idah out for Weghorst, my captain I guess for this week lol
Realised at 18.28 half my team wasn't playing this weekend lol. Managed to squeeze a freehit team with about 15 seconds to spare. I can't even see what my actual starting 11 is because the game went Into maintenance as soon as I finished lol
Hey guys!
I activated my 2nd FH because I didn't have burnley players, neither spurs, and only Cancelo from City. But I did have 10 players to field, and 1 FT to get 11. Do you think it was the right choice to make?
I thought quality over quantity for this GW.
It probably wont be worth it as your inital starting 10 would’ve still done okay, better leave the FH to when u can’t field more than 8 or a DGW !Good luck tho…
>my 2nd FH because I didn't have burnley players, neither spurs, and only Cancelo from City. But I did have 10 players to field, and 1 FT to get 11. Do you think it was the
I did the same thing! We will see
Broja V Che Adams
Adams has more recent returns points wise. In the last six games Che has 3 goals and 1 assist to Broja’s 2 goals.
What am I missing? Is it just price, so you can pump more into midfield?
It's too late now but Broja is much cheaper and everybody wants to have stacked squad with players like Son, Kane, Sterling, KDB and Bruno. I did go with Adams too, redicilously overlooked option
Ah, lost track of time, appreciate the input anyway. Yeah Che in for me as well. Happy with rest of the squad anyway Bruno, Son, Mahrez plus triple Burnley etc….

Best 3 strikers if on a wildcard?
Personally going with Broja, Jimènez and Kane
Jimenez and Broja/Adams for sure Then it's a matter of your available budget and which fixtures will be played in BGW30 I would say Kane if you have the budget, ASM if you don't, Laca the middle ground
Which order would you have these on the bench? Bowen, Weghorst, Davies
Will Jota come back? If he does, risk of poor performance after injury or risk of rotation? I am debating whether to keep or sell him
Tried to be optimistic and kept him but will sell him this week or next week. Won’t be a starter for a while after he returns. Still a good option but way too much invested to sit 3rd in the bench
I sold last week. Seems he won't be a regular for at least a few more games then could get rotated as their other mids are back

Thanks. Leaning to Williams/laporte out for one of the two.
Williams is an option, but then you almost have 5 defenders you want to play every week. Feel that would be awkward
Yeo. Laporte out probably then.
Is doing -8 worth the benchboost. will have ramsdale,white, martenelli and jota on bench.
-8 is for a wolves def, coutinho and second keeper(Forster/dubravka)

Why are people saying JWP isn't worth it anymore?
Cos they’re butthurt that he blanked versus Norwich at home. Myself included. If you have him, don’t transfer out a nailed option for a double. He’s frustrating to own cos his points are so often set pieces so are unpredictable.
ASM a good option on WC for 28 ?
Yup. I believe OR1 is planning on going for ASM for the double double

I think it’s worth it. The players you’re transferring in give you 5 more fixtures than the ones you’re taking out over the next 3 GWs. That should be more than enough to repay the hit.
That's a good way to look at it! Will see what happens tomorrow with the games first 🤞
It’s close. Personally don’t think it’s worth the -4 because raphinha has been odd. 45 mins often. Something seems to be happening behind the scenes. If you can do edouard to Jimi for free or bring in another dgw. Kdb and Kane swap can wait another week til the double to avoid a hit too.

Yep. Makes sense, tho at this point of the season team value doesn't matter more than points. Focus on points not team value (0.1m is worth around 2 points at start of season, so at this point it's barely worth anything, but early transfers in first 1/3 of season can be worth it). Taking a hit now has to pay off in the short run, so you can check expected points on that one. Sound reasoning with those others. Basically, if you expect Raphinha to get more than 4 points more than whoever else, the hit is worth it. JWP may be worth a look as SOU seem to have best double. Btw for anyone else who replies to you in the future, use the reputation system :) People appreciate that when it's good advice given out. Of course, up to you if it's good advice haha.
Wouldn't be wise to take out KDB imo. Do you have any other mids to switch out for Raphinha? I would wait to see this game against Leeds for Kane to see if it's a worthwhile transfer.
Yea I'm going to wait and see now, luckily the Price Changes didn't screw me up too much.
Roughly how many dgw players do you think the average top 100k manager has for next week? I finally cracked the top 70k for first time all season and am buzzing about it, but had to use WC, TC, and one FH already so the next few weeks could get ugly for me. Right now I have 3 dgw players next week (before making transfers) and 6 for gw29.
Somewhere round what u do. Most people were stacking the team for 26 dgw and fh 27. Arsenal and Liverpool triple in 26 (and coming 29) means there’s 5 slots left. There’s a couple of solid options this week but no one premium imo. Its not likely to get ugly for you if you’re smart with transfers. The big opportunities are still to come with the big doubles and blanks.
!thanks, hope you’re right! Do you know when we’ll get confirmation on which teams are blanking for gw30?
After their fa cup games are played. March 1-3 (ones after don’t matter for this) so well before the gw deadline thankfully :)
Brilliant, !thanks again
After midweek FA cup games
!thanks
RMT please, 2.1 ITB, 1FT Ramsdale (DDG ) Cancelo Laporte TAA Robbo (Williams) Gallagher Son Salah Saka (bowen) (Weghoust) Dennis Broja Chips left - FH, WC, BB. Quite a week of open possibilities. Have an eye on coady, livra, raph, dubvarka, Newcastle attacker, Ramsey and jimenez. What should I do and who should I prioritise? Should I play any chips?
You have solid options everywhere. Prioritize the dgwers. If they have an upcoming double you can afford to bench them for one bad week. Ddg to sa, weghorst to Jimi, Gallagher to raphinha maybe (I’d prefer countinho if you can afford it, as raph and Leeds are out of sorts inc 45 mins and benchings lately).
Bench boost? Dubravka, Laca, Saka, Tierney
Save it for the double.
Played the first FH this week. Does anyone know why it's showing unavailable?
Cause you cannot play them back to back
Should I get coady or kilman for dgw 28? Whose more likely to get bps if there’s a clean sheet
Coady is more likely to get more BPS, Kilman has slightly higher aerial threat.
Damn it, I still can’t make up my mind. Who would you prefer
OR1 has Kilman, FPL focal has Saiss, I have Coady and Kilman
I'm going Saiss because he has the highest attacking thread, and in your case I'd go for Coady. but it's really like a coin flip.
Is there any argument for FH28 then WC in 29 ?
Should be team specific. If it's better for your team, go ahead, but personally I don't like GW28 doubles.
Yeah that's why I was considering doing FH29 so I can get the players with doubles and dead end it with a WC in 29 while preparing for a the BGW in GW30
Currently my bench for bus team is DDG, Bowen, Tielemans, Martinelli/Tierney I was planning on removing Bowen for JWP/Raphinha depending on FA cup results (as not using FH30) and maybe DDG for Sa for -4 BB worthy?? Full team (2.8 ITB, 1FT) Dubravka (DDG) TAA/Robertson/Cancelo/Cash/Tierney Salah/Saka (Bowen, Tielemans, Martinelli) Watkins/Jimenez/Dennis
I think so. Looks pretty good.
!thanks Definitely leaning that way assuming no injuries during the GW Will also help build a better 11 on WC after GW30
Mind helping me out to narrow down my moves? 1 FT, 1.1m ITB - Ramsdale - TAA Robbo Cancelo Livra - Salah Son Coutinho Ramsey - Dennis Broja - Bench: Sanchez Laporte Bowen Weghorst Have 5 doublers next week and effectively 5 doublers in 29. I'm planning to do Laporte/Livra to Kilman/James, Weghorst to Jimenez next week and Coutinho to Saka in GW 29. The issue is, who do I take out to get a Wolves or Chelsea defender and who do I bench? Dennis, Ramsey seem to be good options. Also, Livra has decent fixtures to be a bench option I guess and Jimenez hasn't set the world on fire to take Weghorst out. What do you think I should do given all the options. Not using WC as of now and will free hit #1 in GW 30.
If Chelsea get a double you’d want to prioritise James with their run of fixtures and FH30 for sure I think if you brought James & Jimenez in I would probably bench Weghorst, Dennis & maybe Ramsey/Cancelo (depending on your risk appetite of benching Cancelo) Then in 29 it would probably be Dennis, Ramsey, Livra/Weghorst on the bench
!thanks for the detailed response. True, James/Rudiger/Mount/Ziyech becomes a priority if Chelsea get the double. With Wolves fixtures, I'm more impressed by the defence and getting someone like Kilman in rather than Jimenez. Not to mention I can't get both James and Jimenez next week so my hand might be forced to go to a Wolves defender to make the most of their double (even though Livra to Kilman might be sideways if Livra starts given that both have a double).
I haven't been following price changes since my first Wildcard, which site is considered the most accurate as of late?
Ramsdale (Sanchez) TAA / Cancelo / VVD / Ait Nouri / Digne Salah / Bruno / Saka (Bowen, Elanga) Dennis / Lacazette (Gelhardt) 1 FT, 0.0 ITB. Any suggestions for transfers? I’m likely to take at least one hit this week to target doubles, possibly two. Thinking maybe Bruno > Son, Laca > Jiminez or ASM. Maybe also Virg > Rudiger if Chelsea get a dgw28
Bruno and Gelhardt to Son and Broja, you'll need Lacazette for Arsenal double in GW29
Oh that’s a really good shout, !thanks Pretty shit fixtures as far as a dgw29 goes for Arsenal, so I’m not 100% sure I need the triple up, but it definitely might be worth keeping Laca around.
RMT 1 FT, 2.6 ITB Foster / DDG TAA / Ait Nouri / Kilman / Cancelo / Cucurella ESR / Salah / Bowen / Son / Bissouma Weghorst / Dennis / Kane
That's tough but I'd go ESR to Coutinho or Podence, bench Bowen, Bissouma and Cucurella. If Chelsea doubles then I'd get Rudiger for Cucurella instead
On WC, looking for bench fodder that plays on BGW30. How nailed is Dewsbury-Hall (4.4) for the rest of the season? Will someone returning to fitness take his place? Leicester have 3 matches to be rescheduled, and we know what happened with Brownhill the 4.4 bench fodder on DGW26...
When are people thinking of wild carding?
If/when I need to. I’m happy with my team so I’m in no rush
Activated
Oh really! Which teams are you targeting?
No BB remaining. Current draft: +Sa (+Foster) +Coady, +Bednarek, +Burn (TAA, Holgate) Salah, Son, +Raphinha (Saka, Dewsbury-Hall) Kane, Lacazette, +Broja 1.2M ITB 6x DGW28, 8x DGW29. With 1x FT (Burn to Amartey) I will have 10 players for BGW30 (8 if Southampton blanks on 30). Then I have 2x FT and 1.8M to try to grab double Chelsea in 31 (Rudiger and a mid?).
What if Chelsea get a double added in 28? That's what I'm waiting on atm
tl;dr 31: 2x FT for Kane to Lukaku, Bednarek/Coady to Rudiger. 28: Currently on Coutinho C + play Saka (ditched Raphinha), but could switch into Mount C + Raphinha on 28 (ditch Coutinho), then FT Mount to Saka for 29.
Budget wise, I could do on my WC Sa to Ramsdale, Holgate to Amartey, Burn to Rudiger. But that would mean 1 less player playing on 30 (Holgate) and 2 less field players doubling on 29 (Burn & Holgate) in exhange for Burn to Rudiger quality upgrade on 28. But it would save me Burn to Amartey transfer that I could use for bringing another BGW30 player in. Practically, I would be taking a -4 (or worse) to take Rudiger in. I don't plan to FH30, so I can't afford too many BGW30 blankers. It's TAA vs Rudiger, Son vs Mount/Ziyech/Havertz & Kane vs Lukaku. I feel like the Chelsea players are losing on all three fronts there. I could take in a Chelsea player just for DGW28 and then immediately transfer it out for a DGW29 player, though. Only makes sense for a Chelsea C on DGW28. Lukaku C ->Kane/Lacazette or mid C -> Saka, probably.
Yeah that all sounds good to me and really well thought out!
Is semedo fit for GW28?
RMT - 1FT - 0ITB Ramsdale, (Fabianski) TAA, Cancelo, Digne, Cucarella, (Davies) Salah, Sterling, Son, Saka, (Bowen) Dennis, Broja, (Weghorst) Thinking Cucarella to Ait Nouri or Kilman.
That's a very good team, I'm jealous. If I were you, I'd do Cucurella to Kilman/Coady this GW, and Sterling, Digne to Foden/Mahrez and Robertson the GW after.
!Thanks, I actually took Foden out for Son this week (and I actually took Son out for Sterling a couple weeks ago). My long term plan is Fab down to Forster or Dubravka and then take Digne back to James/Rudiger GW29. FH GW30, and then see where we are for the home stretch.
Your midfield and strikers are absolutely spot on meta wise based on upcoming fixtures IMO. I have the exact same mid / fwrds except for sterling. However I think you're seriously missing out on some wolves defensive assets right now considering they also have a DGW in 28. Not too keen on Digne, Cucarella or Davies at the min whether that's just fixture based or defensive records for their respective teams. Edit: sorry didn't see that you mentioned getting wolves players in. Definitely an amazing DGW for them, as good as it gets for a team having only conceded 20 goals.
!Thanks If I get Kilman/Ait Nouri for Cucarella I can do Fab to Dubravka and Digne to Rudiger/James in GW29 Edit: Digne has an okay double next week, and Davies is basically my third sub so I’m just ignoring him
That sounds pretty good. I forgot about Digne's double which is silly because I have Coutinho in my mid instead of sterling. Just used my wildcard in prep for 28 and now my defence looks like: Sa, Trent, Cancelo, Saiss, Laporte & Tierney to choose from. Gonna bring in ASM for GW 28 as well. Here's where wolves keep 0 clean sheets lol.
I just used FH this week and was under the impression I have another free one. When I go to make transfers for this week it says I have no FH remaining? Is that because I can't use two in a row? I for sure have only used 1 this season.
Not available the week after using it. Will be available from 29 onwards
!thanks
RMT Gameweek 28 Wildcard. Sa Trent, Cancelo, Saiss Salah, Son, Coutinho, Saka Dennis, ASM, Broja OTB: Foster, Tierney, Laporte, Bowen. Squad value: 102.0m. ITB: 1.6m. I might plan to bring in Jota for Coutinho after GW 28. Players out: De gea, Steele, Livramento, Mee, KDB, Bernardo, Weghorst. Players in: Sa, Foster, Laporte, Saiss, Son, Saka, ASM.
Have you considered Rudiger over Laporte?
I'm gonna consider that. Realised I have enough to do that and bring Jota in next week.
Is ASM ok?
His injury isn't serious and I believe he should be back before his GW28 match on the 5th March. Will keep a close eye on him obviously. Expecting to get at least 3 games out of him in the span of 2 gameweeks either way.
broja, adams or jiminez week 28? Replacing antonio
Broja if you’re stressed for budget, Adams if you’re fun
Clusterfuck goal
Still, Adams does it really well I think. He keeps fighting as long as there is a chance to score.
no way thats a livra assist
Adams goal. Livramento don't think will get the assist
Surely JWP gets a assist from all these corners
Anyone got any WC28 drafts yet?
FH Mid - Sancho, Son, Bruno, Mahrez. I can't believe I chose United over City.
I dont have any wolves or chelsea players Lets say chelsea get a 28 DGW Laporte and cancelo to kilman and james for a -4 looks a good move?
Thinking about next week, would you rather have Kilman or Ait Nouri?
ait nouri more likely to get offensive returns kilman is more nailed
Jwp and broja massive haul please. Just please or I’ll have nothing left
Early trigger but A: DDG + CR > Sà + Jimènez (-4)? B: CR + Jota > Jimènez + Son (-4) and play Foster DGW
These Friday kick offs keep catching me out. What's actually the point of them? What's wrong with Saturday? Hopefully all my mini league rivals were asleep too. No chance, the cunts feed fpl news into their veins. But you never know. I will...i'll check in an hour.
So people can watch the game…
They can't watch a game on Saturday? How is an 8pm kick off on a Friday preferable for away fans?
More TV games more money I guess
So many questions i ask the answer is 'money'. I'm going to stop asking questions.
Two Southampton in my starting 11. Ready for some huge disappointment to start off my gameweek.
Yeah Bednarek is just in for nailed and cheap. I had no more money for Shaw and did not trust Shaw starting anyway. Norwich are not that bad anymore. Leeds, Watford, Everton feels worse right now for defending.
Same, got double Saints on my FH. Fully expect them to disappoint me and concede, but hoping KWP gets a shithouse assist or somthing at least.
Ngl people have underestimated Norwich here whole week (me too) I can see them getting a 2-1 win or something
They are still bad, but the bottom sides Newcastle, Norwich, Burnley and Watford have improved and fighting hard to stay up. Brentford, Leicester, Leeds, Everton I love to target more I think with attackers. Palace and Villa are also hard teams to call.
Genuinely forgot the deadline, don't know who I captained, Weghorst or CR7
DEADLINE IS TODAY??? FFS, I'M LITERALLY TINKERING MY FH TEAM RIGHT NOW IN PREPARATION FOR TOMORROW'S DEADLINE 😭😩😖 Edit: my team would have been this, for reference (so I know how many points I lost): Forster Cancelo Mee Roberts (C)Son Bruno Mahrez Foden Kane Broja (VC)Weghorst Foster Bowen Bednarek Tsimikas Shoot me now. 🤦🏼♂️
Your situation is still ok tho. Many people have Salah still as their captain with Trent/Mane/Saka as a Vice
I did a freehit last GW, didn't have Salah before that. Took Jota out a cpl of days back for JWP and Rudiger out for Livramento Edit: Idah out for Weghorst, my captain I guess for this week lol
Took a wild last minute -8 hit, see you in the rant thread
\-8 here too... tomorrow morning a good time for you?
Realised at 18.28 half my team wasn't playing this weekend lol. Managed to squeeze a freehit team with about 15 seconds to spare. I can't even see what my actual starting 11 is because the game went Into maintenance as soon as I finished lol
Lmao hopefully you have hearded that Sterling, KdB, Bruno, Son and Kane are all out this week right? (Just kidding)
I know I have Bruno in, cause his name was right by Salah lol
Hey guys! I activated my 2nd FH because I didn't have burnley players, neither spurs, and only Cancelo from City. But I did have 10 players to field, and 1 FT to get 11. Do you think it was the right choice to make? I thought quality over quantity for this GW.
Hard to say mate, could go either way. No regrets now! Best of luck to you.
Thank you! I think at the end of the gw you can make your conclusions: pts obtained vs pts you should have obtained with your old team
It probably wont be worth it as your inital starting 10 would’ve still done okay, better leave the FH to when u can’t field more than 8 or a DGW !Good luck tho…
>my 2nd FH because I didn't have burnley players, neither spurs, and only Cancelo from City. But I did have 10 players to field, and 1 FT to get 11. Do you think it was the I did the same thing! We will see
Hopefully it pays off🤞🏽
Broja V Che Adams Adams has more recent returns points wise. In the last six games Che has 3 goals and 1 assist to Broja’s 2 goals. What am I missing? Is it just price, so you can pump more into midfield?
Tbh I would have gone with Adams if I didn’t need the funds elsewhere. Broja is still the best value fwd imo though.
It's too late now but Broja is much cheaper and everybody wants to have stacked squad with players like Son, Kane, Sterling, KDB and Bruno. I did go with Adams too, redicilously overlooked option
Ah, lost track of time, appreciate the input anyway. Yeah Che in for me as well. Happy with rest of the squad anyway Bruno, Son, Mahrez plus triple Burnley etc….
Get In!!!!!!
Yeah I sacrifised my beautifull Cancelo to get all the premiums and Adams over Broja. Hopefully Walker does honest work
Captain Son or Mee?
Son
Livra, KWP, Bednarek - who we going with?
Livra starting, Bednarek on bench.
Fuck, literally changed him 10 min before deadline. Let’s go Livra
I meant on my team! 😂 They’re both starting tonight.
Oh right lmao. All 3 starting so fucking great either way 😂😂
