Leave this alone and do 2 or 3 transfers for a mighty BB next week?

Petrovic
Gabs White Branthwaite
Son Palmer Saka Garnacho Foden
Haaland (c) Isak

Pickford, Solanke, Gusto, Munoz

FFS, Schar looks out for the session then. Who do we fancy as the best replacement? Can't be a City player either as I'm maxed out.

If you have 3 starting defenders for 36, you just wait and assess. If Tripps is ready for 37 I’ll get him in.

I'd say yeah and then replace Solanke, Munoz in gw37. Jackson and Gvardiol or somehow go for KdB to be differential.

Not sure I do. Gabriel and Reguillon look safe but my other 3 are Gusto, Schar and Zabryani.

Can't wait for Trippier and I think I'd rather have a punt on Wilson in 37 tbh with my extra money in the bank.

As others have suggested Burn looks the safest choice and could grab a goal from a set piece this week against Burnley. Not sure about his clean sheet chances though. Trouble is my rival has him so I really want to hedge against him. Strikers, gk's and defenders are bloody useless this season.
 
Im guessing the main captain pick will be Haaland.

What would be a good differential between Saka, Palmer, Ishak, Kdb?

I had the captaincy on Palmer, but him not scoring at home yesterday has put a doubt in my mind.
 
So, i've made up another 10 points on my rival in spot 1. I am now around 22 points behind him. I've just played my WC during this past GW in prep for GW37 and the Ederson injury have messed my plans a little.

He has bench boost and WC left (which he will play this week). I have BB and TC left (TC in 38 seems best move for me). Should i hold onto Ederson and await news? And i hope Gusto is back in time for G37 ffs. The plan was to have 12-13 doubles but that number could be lower if these 2 are not available.

I'd hold on to Ederson and Gusto and await news. I'd use the TC on Haaland or Isak this week in stead of holding it to 38 though.

Read that trippier is in Dubai for some treatment this week and will be back in training next week. Might make his availability for the both the games in 37 a challenge
 
Why is everyone jumping for Haaland in this GW? No one keen on Palmer at home against WHU who on the beach and the manager is leaving?

The only problem I can see with Palmer is he's being pushed to the 10 role, with Madueke playing on the wing. However, he still have a huge chance to score and was unlucky with the FK for the Jackson goal.
 
Ish said:
Good news re ederson at least. Triple captain Haaland tomorrow or wait until GW38 @Dirty Schwein @CassiusClaymore @FAO players. @troylocker has given me something to contemplate here…

I wanted Ederson injured. For FPL of course.

If you can, save TC until final week. Riskier but more fun and there can be monster scores.

Last min thinking I could go Gusto to Gvardiol now.... as Gusto seems unlikely to make the double. Plus I'd need to ship him to get a 3rd Chelsea booth for Jackson.

But is having 2 Everton defence on the bench asking for trouble in their form? And is Gvaridol's little flurry of attacking points now done.
And leaving it alone this week gives max flexibility for next week.

I could do the same but think I might wait. Has there been any news on Gusto?

No news on Gusto since that fan took a picture of him when he said he was training away from the group and hoping to be back for West Ham. I'll hold and pray for the double.

Running out of time to decide what to do. Really don't want to play Zab this week.
 
Foden cappa here. Need a differential and so shall cross fingers and hope he plays.

Will probably leave it. Just hope in a week there's a proper in our out. I'd need to shift him for a 3rd Chelsea place potentially we'll see.
 
Boring old Schar to Burn. Another transfer I should've done the week before. Meh.

Areola
Burn Gabriel Reguillon
Palmer (VC) KDB (C) Son Saka Foden
Haaland Isak

Neto Morris Gusto Zab

Need to swap that bench out next week with £3.2m in the bank to maximise the double. And pray nobody else gets injured.
 
Forgot to change my team. Still have fecking Garancho as captain. Not as if I'm close to winning about £800 if i keep my current positions up in my mini leagues. feck sake

He can put a double digit in any given week.
Obviously usually doesn't, but it's not like you've captained Wan Bissaka.

2 weeks in a row for me. Still got Salah captaining from his DGW when he got dropped plus Darwin and Diaz. :lol:

Last weekend got completely blitzed on Friday night and missed the deadline. Just assumed the deadline would be Saturday this week.

Only my first season playing since taking part in Telegraph Fantasy Football League way back when, when Baddiel and Skinner were on telly, and I think I learned a lot. This will be a very tame end to the season but definitely know enough to be top 100k next season. If I hadn't missed 3 or 4 deadlines, plus indecision when keeping Haaland through his Christmas injury I'd be there right now.

The other big mistake was around second wildcard. Pumped enough players in for the City/Liverpool double GW just before the Carabao Cup final. That didn't pay off as everyone flopped, but I don't think that was bad in itself. The worst thing was that I had to keep enough cover for that league cup final weekend that Liverpool and Chelsea were involved in soon after so created a spread out squad, with decent valued players on the bench and have had that ever since. It was Garnacho and Douglas Luiz at first. Not been able to get back to a squad of expensive starters plus dirt cheap squaddies since because I'm always putting out fires and I've been too reluctant to take hits to do it. When I was doing well the first half of the season that's exactly how my squad was made up.

Next season will be balls out for the starting XI for the full season. If there's ridicuously cheap starting players then pick 'em up as subs, but otherwise forget about the bench. If I'm somehow finding I need a bench for a week and do build one, bin 'em off quick for a -4 when I don't need them again.

Just when I thought my Branthwaite streak was finished :drool: .

Rival forgot to change his team as well. I love my notification on the app I use.

If you wanna be differential and are chasing in gw37, then Id say 2 Everton defenders against Sheffield United is a decent punt

Have Pickford and Branthwaite anyway and will be BB.

So its ensuring all 15 will play as a minimum.
Gusto is the big risk on that so far.

But him to a doubling City defender and potentially Solanke to Jackson would help.

If anything happens in midfield, Bruno in might work for -4 too..but have a week to monitor.

Shame he didn't keep the 1 bonus he was on for early on but 5 points is OK.

True - he's not the worst to have although with United's form I wouldn't have kept him as C.

The bigger issue is I have Alt Nouri in defence and Wolves have Man City away... although he does have a yellow flag so hoping he doesn't play and Robertson comes on from the bench
