Fantasy Premier League 2024/25

I was always planning to do Gordon to Mbeumo next week, what are the thoughts on just doing it this week? I quite liked Gordon at home to Fulham but Spurs are looking really bad.
Yeah I still have 1FT and I was thinking about getting him next week but looks too good to ignore this week. Confusion confusion.
 
Correct.

Seen a few looking at maybe going Moyes as AM with 3 Liverpool as cover. Then switching to Emery in 25 for his double. Has a higher ceiling for sure (1 table bonus chance for each manager v Liverpool). Would need to hold TC for further down the line though.

Coming around to this a bit more now.

AM Moyes > Emery for 4 games (keep TC for a better GW) and still play 3 x Liverpool.

or

TC Salah and just wait and see what happens in 25. Could activate AM then or hold for later on.

@Dirty Schwein - what are you making of this chaos?
 
This double double's ruined my plan now. Had brought Gakpo and TAA in, TC Salah, all sorted. Now it makes more sense to play Assistant Manager chip instead of TC and get 5 games in total for it, and Slot is not an option unless I burn points. Will have to be Moyes then transfer to Emery/Silva next week depending who has a double.

I'm going through some work/life problems so haven't even thought about it.

I can't do much, I've got 3 Liverpool (TAA, Alison & Salah) and 0.8 in the bank. My only route to Slot is to remove TAA to Mykolenko.

Moyes and then Emery looks like a decent shout. I might look into that if I get time.

TC this week is out of the question if Liverpool got a better double the following GW. It's a risk but one worth taking if I stick to my original plan of keeping AM until GW36...

Yeah this is what I'm thinking now. Could still end up better off as Slotters won't have the 3rd Liverpool player and we have 2 chances of a table bonus.

Sorry to hear that mate :(
 
Agh new something was up when all the fpl youtube wankers started going live.

Really annoying as I planned for triple Liverpool and tc Salah this week, now the AM looks the better chip to play.

Thankfully I have 2 free transfers but have no idea on who to sell out of Trent and Gakpo.

Neither. Just us with AM Moyes to glory. Got to chase those table bonus points
 
People freak out too much about Liverpool squad rotation imo. Salah will play every PL game and likely 90' as well if the game isn't decided by the end (and if it is, it's likely he's hauled).

Slot loves Gakpo and he went to Eindhoven for obvious reasons. There's plenty of time between Bournemouth and Everton for every important player to get rested and play both games, given that we have a Plymouth FA cup tie before Everton which will heavily involve our youngsters that played against PSV the other day.
 
I was pretty set on TC Salah DGW24 but perhaps this announcement makes AM Slot too good to ignore? Potentially 2DGWs in a row, and manager is obviously immune to rotation... Pool could end up playing 4 games in 10 days (Spurs 09.02, Everton 12.02, Wolves 16.02, Villa 19.02) so I can't see any of their players getting full minutes in all those league fixtures. Just go with AM Slot and if they win Carabao against Spurs keep him, milk his 5 games from 3 GWs and hope for the best, and if Spurs win the Carabao semi just swap Slot for Ange as the AM in DGW25 + Ipswich game in 26 and then hope for the best (and maybe even some extra points considering Spurs are so low in the table)?
This is incorrect - we have Spurs on Thursday 6th, Plymouth on Sunday 9th, then Everton on Wednesday 12th. So every important player will likely play Bournemouth, Spurs, then Everton (hence every PL game) and get rested for the Plymouth one.

Imo it comes down to how much risk you already want to take at this stage of the game. Slot is for players at or near the top of their ML who don't want to take too much risks right now (and likely get the chip out of the way before GW33-36). Moyes > Emery > ? could be an upside play at the moment but I'm not entirely convinced by that. Cheaper managers with a more likely chance to win with bonus points will be available in GW36-38 I think.

I actually have 0.5 in the bank to bring him in so it's tempting.

I assume managers are not subject to price changes?

Ah shit thanks for pointing it out. I must have seen some outdated or wrong fixture table
 
Wow, this is big news.

Not as big as if I still had TC to play with and was thinking of going down that route. Still, wish I had Allison now as my second Liverpool player, he's got to be most likely to play in all these games should Liverpool go through. Konate who I have isn't bad on paper, central defenders don't tend to need rotating as much but he's not far back from injury. Could see Quansah coming in at some point possibly. Van Dijk the other decent shout in terms of hoping to get all 4 games.

Don't know what it does for later strategy, was all set to dead end on transfers in 29 and free hit later on. First reaction is that it wouldn't make much sense, but part of me is wondering if free hit on 29 is now a possible thing instead?
