Fantasy Premier League 20/21

I want to swap him for maddison but might as well wait as Villa have 3 DGWs coming up at some point.
Yeah and Grealish has a massive haul in him at some point too. Won't be surprised to see him grab another 15-pointer by the end of season (still can't get over benching him for Liverpool).
 
Is anyone thinking about losing Grealish? I've got a midfield of Salah - Son - Bruno - Gundogan but I like Raphina. Could get Watkins in over Antonio to cover Villa?
I've been thinking about it, but then Villa should have some DGW coming up.

Form isn't great but with multiple DGWs and a game in GW29, it's just too convenient having triple Villa plug gaps in my squad, so swapping them about wouldn't be a priority.
 
When are they likely to announce DGW fixtures for 26?if they are at all.

Yeah, reckon I'll hold then. There's something enticing about Raphina for 5.4 but I've already got Bamford and Struijk so don't want to mental on Leeds.
 
Anyone thinking of wildcarding this week to be set up for the DGW’s?

Seen a lot are saying GW31 instead, why’s that?

I did as I wasn't set-up too well to cover the DGWs coming up

if you're well set, makes sense to wait and WC after GW 29 which only has four fixtures, and set your team up for the rest of the season.

It all depends if you have a FH, the idea of WC in 30 is to fix your team after building for the blank GW.

If you have your FH you are in a strong position to not worry about the blank GW, and WC earlier.

Rate my team if I go ahead and use my WC, which will mean BB for the dgw. Still have FH left after that.

Martinez Areola
Cancelo Dias Targett Dallas Kilman
Bruno Son Salah Gundogan Raphina (then maybe back to Soucek for their dgw)
Kane Watkins Bamford

Hoping a couple of rivals aren't doing their WC this week and BB in 26.
That could be a game changing score if they can get a strong 15 players playing twice.

Maybe a bit early to be doing it with so long left, and maybe because there are so many double games from the biggest teams, that most competitive players have anyway it's not quite as powerful.

But even if you have 4 starters on the bench playing twice and doing nothing that's 16 points. Let alone if any of them do anything!
May even be worth counterbalancing it with a WC myself, and TC in 26. May try and get through without though.

Luckily the ones with that left haven't got a BB, which is like a mini wildcard which could be golden later on.

What's the latest on Kilman? Got 1 minute against Soton, why was that?
 
I’ve lost it now but some apparently credible source has said he’s injured again. Just reading now though that Jose has said he’s fine for Sunday. Maybe it was just a knock? Maybe Jose is bluffing? Cba
feck it, I have Cancelo first sub with Lowton second.

This is what Jose said, so not exactly clear, but positive-ish.

Mourinho on whether Kane will be fine for Sunday
I believe so, but experienced guy that had injuries in the past, he knows his body better than anyone.
He knows that I want him to play every minute of every game, so it's never a question of a choice.
I wanted to come here with the best team and the players that could give us more opportunities to win the game and get a good result, but he made the decision based on his feelings.
His feelings were that to play this game could be a risk with the accumulation of minutes and the accumilation of minutes after the injury that he had.
Of course myself and the medical department, we agreed with him in giving him this opportunity to take care of his condition, but I believe on Sunday he will be OK and ready.
 
Anyone tempted to ditch Salah for KDB? Not sure I'm ready to lose Gundo either

I've now made some tweaks but still not hit the button. Read a couple of great attacking stats about Dunk and he's playing Palace, Newcastle and WBA (possibly), so he's in for now. Grealish is in for Son as he has more doubles...again possibly. Don't get why he's falling. Grass is greener types?

*already had him but was going to take him out.

Keen for some input

is that 10 with doubles in 26? (and 3 in 25?). Dunk has good fixtures (I'm considering as one of my two tfrs) but Cresswells tough?
 
Martinez Forster
Dias Stones Lowton Ayling Bednarek
Bruno Maddison Rashford Gundogan Son
Kane Watkins Bamford

Plan is use 2 FTs this week and put in Meslier and Dier (for Forster and Bednarek). Gets 3 Leeds DGWs

Next week, swap Konsa or White in for Lowton. Gives me 12/11 DGWs in 26.

Alternative is lose Rashford/Son for Soucek/Salah

Comfortable with this week's 2 tfrs (Leeds DGW and Spurs got good fixtures) but which plan for GW26?

Something like that yeah. Yeah Cresswell has tough fixtures. There’s not really anyone I’d change him for though? Did bring Targett in for him, but now brought Grealish in so can’t have him. Hoping form over fixtures counts for a bit. Unless I’ve not thought of someone instead of?
 
Okay I'm getting rid of Son, have had enough with his blanks. Swapping Salah in for Son. Everton always rollover for Liverpool at Anfield so I expect Salah to score.
 
What's everyone's thoughts for captain?

I initially thought Bruno, I have Bamford and have brought Ings in though.

At the min I'm leaning to Bamford, mainly because he's probably captained himself.. :)

I'm torn between Pope and Mccarthy as well. Pope has the best prospect of a clean sheet on form, however, Mccarthy has dgw land Saints have players returning. They were bagging loads of clean sheets at one point.
 
Im thinking this for WC25 + BB26 but not sure

Martinez Areola
Dunk Dallas Shaw Cancelo Dias
Grealish Gundogan Bruno Salah Raphinha
Bamford Kane Watkins
 
Yeah that's a bit mental from Ben. Fulham have improved but they're still 3rd bottom of the league for reason. The 9-0 thumping we gave the Saints skews their defensive numbers considerably as you might expect.

Burnley + either of Southampton or Fulham is about as good as it gets for a TC punt both fixture wise and for a team who's unlikely to rest whoever you give the armband to (assuming from Kane or Son).

My bigger concern would be Kane reinjuring himself (sounds very much like he's playing through the pain barrier at the moment) and the fact that Spurs would be happy to nick a goal or 2 and sit back.

so you'll BB with three single gameweekers?

I'm considering the same but with three Leeds it makes it less enticing

Harry Kane always scores against West Ham with Son sure to be assisting him and Son scored last night..
 
feck it, done my transfers before moving house later. Dan Burn in for Mitchell and Ings in for DCL. Plan on getting Kane and Maddison for Antonio and Rashford next week.

Thinking about it I hope Burn keeps his place for the blank, but I couldn’t afford White because he went up :(
