Yeah I still have 1FT and I was thinking about getting him next week but looks too good to ignore this week. Confusion confusion.
Fantasy Premier League 2024/25
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
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.
Cheers mate.Sorry to hear that mate
I'm gonna just log in here end of the day and copy someone. That's my ultimate plan
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.

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?

Ive Triple captained Salah for this double game week
Correct.
I hardly doubt Spurs will be winning two in a row.
Rogers vs Wol A or Wood vs BHA H or Gordon vs Ful H
I have Salah , Palmer , kdb, Isak and ndiaye starting currently

Got be Gordon if he's got 2 games.
If you've already got triple Liverpool it'd be a mad risk to transfer one of them out to bring Slot in wouldn't it?
And also a big risk to not take triple captain this week, on the idea that next week's is better.
Bournemouth away and Everton away aren't necessarily smashfest games though this week...

I'm in the same boat. But I've been busy so haven't had time to think of a strategy.
Think I'm gonna go Alison to a £4.5 (who plays GW29) and then bring in Slot.
Think the potential of a DGW in 25 as well has to swing it to AM. You’ll get five games, insane not to take that and use TC later in the season surely. The idea of triple Liverpool is very nice but one of these chips needs using this gameweek and with the extra double in 25 it’s surely AM now.
Also could easily go Slot this weekend for the double with two Liverpool players and then transfer him out for Villa DGW if that happens and triple up on Liverpool then or something along those lines depending on what doubles happen in 25, potential either way or just stick with Slot for 25 as well if they get a double in 25 where surely they’ll batter Wolves and possibly beat Villa. Manager wins all four of those then you can take a big punt in 26 almost risk free. Slot could walk out with 20+ in week 24, do we think a third Liverpool player will score that outside of Salah? I’m not convinced.

What do we think is a better strategy with TAA, Salah and Diaz?
1) Bin Diaz to then bring in Slot (have 4 freebies so no issues there)
2) Bring Moyes in, then switch him to another manager with a double next week? (Liverpool not being confirmed as a double yet)
Option 2 could still mean needing to bin Diaz off next week.
Feels a risk binning a doubler Liverpool striker.

A potential battle of the 2 (or maybe even 1!) pointers for my bench this week.
Only 1 of Raul, Robinson and Kerkez can start.
Currently gone for Robinson in the line-up as I fancy another assist from him, although with that theory in mind, he may well be assisting Raul?!
I'm also not big on Sarr (form & minutes) this week but he's my sole representative as I head to OT on Sunday..not sure I want him clouding my emotions if he ends up scoring though!
I might just go early on either Django or Kluivert and ship him out...then use that planned 1FT elsewhere next week!

Munoz away against United
Or
Greaves home against Soton?

What is the best 4.9M or lower midfielder for keeping on the bench? That will give me the money to get Slot for the AM.
Sod it, Salah has had some mad hauls away so far, so with 3 Pool players, am just gonna stick with the Salah TC plan.
Am also going to do Jiminez to Ndiaye.
That does mean I need to gamble on benching a couple of dece players.
Any qualms with this lineup? Doublers in CAPS
Sels
TAA Hall Mykolenko (Gabriel, Castagne)
SALAH (TC) DIAZ Palmer Amad (Rogers)
Isak Wood Ndiaye
Can go for Assistant Manager 25-27 when we know who the 25 and 27 doublers are, and switch around which manager with a few freebies banked.

If your Liverpool trio is Trent, Salah and Diaz/Allison I think you bin Allison or Diaz and get slot in.
If you have Trent, Salah and Gakpo I think it's better to Moyes or just stick with the original triple captain idea and figure out the AM later.
However this is probably the best time to play the AM chip.
Wait what. There's doubles in 27 now?
Team looks correct btw. Maybe Gabriel over Hall.
I think Diaz is more likely to play both of this game week's games than Gahkpo though, having been rested last game, whilst Gakkers played 50 odd.
I thought i'd seen someone on fantasy scout suggest there is...but maybe i've misread it. I'll have a look.
I'm have Trent, Salah and Konate as my Liverpool trio.
Don't think it's worth it to make 2 transfers to fund Slot, so I'm going with Moyes as my assman.

From what I've been hearing Gakpo wanted to play against his former club otherwise he would have been rested. Most Liverpool fans say Gakpo is first choice at the moment and less of a minutes risk.
In my head I'm trying to justify AM Moyes. At the moment it's everyone who TC earlier in the season is now on AM Slot but I'll have 3 Liverpool players plus a gamble on AM Moyes which kind of hedges my bets and I get to keep TC chip for another day. Does that scan?
It feels dodgy taking out a Liverpool player who has a double...
But when you think Diaz in 2 game would have to outscore Slot in 2 games PLUS whichever single mid you play it looks more good odds to play the latter.

I think the two of them will start, but Gahkpo seems the hauler of the 2 at the mo.
I think it was when someone pointed out that Moyes could easily lose both games that worried me.
They've a good chance of beating Leicester, but you probably wouldn't be certain. But a 2-0 win would be 10 points, and still get your triple Liverpool.
Most likely they lose v Liverpool.
But then next week you're guaranteeing a transfer needed as you'll need a doubler manager.
It's all of that which makes me think it's Slot or nothing.
Who to start - Bruno or Amad? Normally a no brainer but Amad is on fire still, and Bruno drops deep often to accomodate.
Mbeumbo or Kluivert in?
Thinking Diaz out now, and Slot in...
