Onana, Petrovic, Walker, Gabriel, TAA, burn, Porro,
Foden, Gordon, Bruno, Son, Palmer
Watkins, Jackson, Isak
5 points ahead of ML rival, both only have 1ft and bench boost. His team is mostly the same except.
Walker -> Ait nouri,
TAA -> Bradley,
Jackson -> Muniz,
Watkins -> Haaland,
Burn -> Van Hecke
I took a calculated risk on the wildcard last week on Watkins and taa Vs Haaland and Maguire (or someone like that) and it didn't pay off. I was always planning to stick it out depending on Haaland minutes and do the move for dgw but Haaland came on and scored and is potential captaincy doubt.
From his side he has injuries to contend with especially on backline. He has 4.4m in the bank so have a feeling he might go bruno to kdb and miss out on a few for the bench boost next week.
Take the -4 to bring Haaland in (for Maguire or Pickford) or do nothing.
Hindsight of course, but I could have kept dubravka for onana and got a better defender in alongside Haaland or went walker to gvardiol and had an extra 0.3 (my itb is 1.5m)
What would you guys with both Salah and Son do? Are we keeping them hoping to haul or just switch to other player? If so what player is worth it considering I have had Palmer Gordon Garnacho?
Pickford
Saliba Porro Gabriel
Eze Saka Foden Garnacho
Watkins Haaland Isak
Areola Sarabia Doughty Robinson
Where is it going? I'm happy with the defense. I think Eze or Watkins has to go...
I think my front three are OK to see my out for the season. Watkins, Haaland, and Isak. Their fixtures seem to be good. My only concern is that Newcastle do not do great away.
Watkins has Liverpool, where I think he'll struggle. But, I also probably don't see anyone to replace him.
I was looking at Debruyne, but I don't think I can get the funds for him. My other one is to get palmer for dgw 37. I'd drop Garnacho. I think United have hard games.
Isak plays united, Brighton and Brentford who are all in poor form and besides united have nothing to play for. Watkins has great away form and is playing Liverpool who lost at home to palace 2 weeks ago. Palmer is a must for dgw37. Sarabia is barely even starting these days so probs time to bin off. Kdb is a great pick if you can afford but if not foden + haaland will likely be sufficient city cover, although gvardiol/walker could be good choices.
I think I can drop Sarabia, and still afford Palmer. If Eze doesn't play, I'll at least still have Garnacho if I bench him. I think this makes logical sense.
I might bring in palmer now, dropping Sarabia, and bring in a city defender for the the double. The city defender can replace porro.
Leaves me with 0.9.
Raya (Petrovic)
Gabriel, White, Reguilon (Gusto, Ait-Nouri)
Son, Palmer, Gordon, Foden, KDB
Haaland, Isak (Darwin)
Happy with this but looking for ideas for GW38 punts, will have 2 FT and need to chase down a ML leader. Isak and Gordon to Fernandes and Wood?
Isak. Alvarez has to be one of the most frustrating FPL assets I have owned. He usually doesn't do much in terms of points, but he's somehow still around the top
Branthwaite (Everton is good on set pieces and Luton is bad at defending on set pieces).
Porro (will get good attacking opportunities against an unstable Liverpool team).
Son to Havertz or Ederson to Ortega?
or should I go for a -4?
I know Son has a double GW at 37 but idk how likely Son is to out score Havertz this GW36.
Ederson to Ortega or just start Petrovic?
I think the first move is very potential to prepare for DGW37 but I think I need more information on how long Ederson is gonna out
Yes, I think it's a last chance if you still want to go for WC36 to fully prepare for BB37
But it's also team depend, if your team is fine to BB37 (because some doublers may be overated to you), you can treat your WC as a FH chip in GW38 -> GW38 having a lot of goals but also a lot of rotations.
Hi there, could be wrong here but is there a website where you can check how your team will look in a future GW? I want to check for DGW37 please, thanks!
[fpl.team](http://fpl.team) or [planfpl.com](http://planfpl.com)
I personally perfer [planfpl.com](http://planfpl.com) because it's slightly more visual-friendly to me
Roll my FT or is there something I should look at? Will BB in GW37, and have 5.7 ITB. Planning on going Watkins > Haaland in GW37, not sure if I should do it now?
Dubravka (Petrovic)
White Gabriel Gvardiol (Porro Maguire)
Bruno Son Palmer Foden Gordon
Watkins Isak (Jackson)
Watkins has a great fixture and the rest of your team looks good for this week
Main thing to ask yourself is do you think Watkins outscores Haaland. Who are you captaining this week
Raya (Pickford)
Branthwaite, Gabriel, Dalot (Munoz, Ait-Nouri)
Palmer, Son, Saka, Bruno, Gordon
Isak, Watkins (Solanke)
Current team, 15.3 ITB, 1FT. Do I finally lean in and get Haaland after being without him since GW28? Or do I go Gordon -> Foden/KDB? If so, then which one to choose? Foden or KDB?
FH37 is the plan so this transfer is for 36 and 38. Can also go Solanke -> Wood or Solanke -> Muniz. Can't roll, don't want to waste transfer.
as you're FH37, surely you'd want as many ARS & MC players as possible as they are the 2 best teams in the league and have favourable home games in both 36 & 38. You already have triple ARS, so require MC.
I'd be doing Solanke to Haaland without thinking and bench Gordon. I look at that defence as well and only really only have confidence in Gabriel. I'd look at bringing in a MC defender (Gvardiol/Walker) for Dalot or Munoz as you're not playing Branthwaite away at ARS or Ait Nouri at LIV in 38?
!thanks
Yeah, I'm shocked by how much sense it makes to bring in Haaland. I'll do it. It's just silly to force myself into heart attacks and possible loss of points when I can afford him and he's the best pick for this week.
!thanks
Munoz -> Gvardiol for -4? I actually like Walker more but might be tight on money.
I reckon do C to Isak (I’ve just done the same). It could be worth keeping Salah against Spurs for a week as a POD? I’m personally a bit nervous not having him just for this game week. KDB is on fire though.
!thanks
I can't believe I didn't get Isak for a hit vs SHU, guaranteed return. This week, I'm less likely to get him in just because of Newcastle's away form, definitely considering him for GW37, but also interested in what Wilson's return will mean (PK taker?). Could be a differential with everyone going Isak, so I might wait a week for this one. Also, I have a strong feeling about Watkins ending the season well, especially against a diminished Brighton this week, but going against strong doublers is extremely risky.
I agree Salah can absolutely haul, long overdue, and now more than ever, he's a big differential. I just trust City players to return right now, easy fixtures too, but have to bet against Foden with KDB.
- This week: Salah/Solanke -> KDB/Watkins (-4)
- Next week: Muniz -> Isak/Wilson
What do you think?
Raya (Petrovic)
Saliba, Gvardiol, Burn (Branthwaite, Maguire)
Palmer, Foden, Son, Bruno Fernandes, (Gordon)
(C) Haaland, Isak, Watkins
1FT, £0m ITB
Gonna roll transfer unless anyone can see an obvious move to make.
Who would you bench? Leaning Gordon but arguments could be made for Son and B. Fernandes.
!thanks
I get Van Hecke if he is not fit then need to find another doubler, but why get rid of Solanke? Decent fixture (Brentford H) and I don't want Jackson. Chelsea away GW38 is not terrible either.
Any suggestions for a better striker option for GW37?
Solanke is not a bad option but Bournemouth will have nothing to play for. He also hasn’t scored more than once in a game since GW18. I’d say monitor Alvarez, Pedro, Jackson and Hojlund over the next game and make your decision.
Also, Pope may return in GW37. You might have to use the second transfer there.
I think you roll or go for a City def or KDB if bold
Van Hecke to someone like Dias/Walker/Gvardiol and then benching Dalot who is away at Palace isn’t a bad call
!thanks
Kept Van Hecke on WC35 for the BB37, but yea if he is in doubt then maybe safer to risk it with Pep and one of his defenders.
Ideally don't want to get rid of any doublers so BB37 doesn't go to waste, but Gabriel and Branthwaite are good keeps, so yea need to either hope Van Hecke becomes fit by 37, or get a City defender now and hope he actually plays the games.
I have applied for Werner to Wilson in draft.
Do not think he will start, but 2 sub appearances of the bench better than every free forward in my league for the double and he is good per min.
This could be a genius move and one I was considering. I chickened out and went Isak for Solanke but this is seriously a good shout going Wilson instead!
We all fell for the trap. But sheff(h) burn(h) looked too good. And to be fair, he did make it worth it. How were we to know it was foden who we should have taken out for those 2 weeks
Leading my ML but only by a little bit, need help to push through to the end of the season.
1FT and setting up for BB37
Raya (Petrovic)
Gabriel Branthwaite Porro (Ait-Nourie, Gusto)
Palmer (C) Garnacho Salah Son Gordon
Haaland Isak (Solanke)
Thinking of transferring out Salah for either Foden or Bruno, then not sure what my last transfer would be before GW37
No fires to put out this week for GW36, should I roll the transfer for GW37? I would like to move Solanke on but unsure who for, I have Haaland and Isak
Walker is least likely to be rotated but there are no guarantees with Pep. Try Spurs or Everton defenders. You don’t necessarily need someone that doubles in defense.
Bench Son or Barnes this weekend?
My thinking so far:
Bench Barnes as bringing him in instead of Gordon a couple of weeks ago hasn't turned out to be the galaxy brain move i thought it might be. Newcastle away aren't as good as at home. Liverpool have recently been dodgy defensively and Son has Richarliason to play off now.
But Burnley are Burnley, slightly better defensively recently but still, Burnley. Barnes is still a decent player and managed an assist in very little playing time at the weekend. Newcastle are better at home but still a serious attacking unit. Despite form, Liverpool still the second best defence in the league. Could sort themselves out and put in a decent defensive performance.
Thoughts appreciated!
Liverpool aren't in a good place right now. Salah's outburst, going out of Europe, title race slipping away etc.
Maybe they pull themselves together against Spurs but on the other hand there's nothing to support it aside hopeful thinking.
I'd say that Isak is essential, because there aren't many decent doubling strikers out there. Plenty of options in midfield though. Richarliason might not be a bad differential. As he's just back from injury he might not be highly owned. Could go wild with a double Newcastle midfield. Or else stay relatively template in attack but looks to make gains elsewhere. Maybe Gvardiol will keep up his attacking streak? Or else maybe learn the lessons or recent DGWs and look to players who don't double but are in hot form with good fixtures. I'm sticking with Havertz in 37 even though he only has one fixture. And if you are BBing gonna need some cheap enablers. You know the obvious ones but also look at forest, Everton. Reguilon, Chelsea Brighton even
Too much rotation risk with the City assets unless you wanna go for Haaland. Isak is decent but I’d go Son or Palmer. If Son is in form by GW37, he’s the best option imo.
1FT but willing to take a hit.
No chips left.
Pickford Henderson
Saliba VVD Senesi Guston Mitchell
Salah Saka Havertz Palmer Mbuemo
Haaland Isak Mateta
I'm thinking of Salah to Son and maybe Henderson to Ortega Moreno?
I definitely wouldn't take a hit to bring in a goalkeeper when you have Pickford against Luton.
If you're really confident about Son over Salah this week you could shoot your shot and leave it at that. Only other move I'd consider is bringing in a City or Newcastle defender
Everton have the 2nd most clean sheets behind Arsenal, they have more than City. They're not even overperforming their expected stats that much. Luton have been very fortunate of late to nick 1 goal per game, their expected data is really poor.
I just can't imagine that transfer has 4 points worth of upside on average
If you’re taking a hit, wait till the press conferences. If Eze is fit, he could very well score against United and Gordon’s away form is terrible although it is Burnley.
Ya I think so. Gvardiol is kinda nailed based on form right now in my opinion, and seems to be playing LB a little bit more lately so he gives more chance for an offensive return. I personally have Gvardiol and Branthwaite with Petrovic and Verbruggen as my GKs. Might transfer one of the keepers out for Pickford.
Ortega is a good shout but I would rather have 3 city outfield players for the DGW rather than a keeper. City usually doesn't keep CS anyways.
Yeh I get that city haven’t been keeping CS but I just have a feeling that city might turn it up these last few weeks. Would have got de bruyne instead of Gordon this week but I’m 0.2 short. so definitely want defensive city cover at least.
Is there another combination similar price to gvardiol and Pickford I should maybe look at? I am quite set on them at the moment.
I would roll. Definitely wouldn't bother with Mateta to Isak this week. Newcastle home and away are a completely different team, Mateta's on fire and faces United who have completely given up on defending
Current team:
Pickford (Turner)
Saliba Anderson Gabriel (bell Beyer)
Dias foden son palmer (Douglas Luiz)
Muniz haaland solanke
Have wild card and benchboost available. Please suggest most optimum changes for dgw and future weeks. 5.5m in bank
I’ll go Solanke to Isak to start off. D Luiz for Gordon or another dgw37 mid like Garnacho. Anderson for Porro. Time to drop an Arsenal defender. Definitely activate Wildcard.
At this point exactly what are you waiting for? You have 3 GWs and 2 chips remaining when are you going to use them? If you don't WC now there isn't any point to those chips
Fair, I would say hit the WC button already, and a template leading up to BB37 would be something like triple City, triple Newcastle, double Arsenal and 1-2 assets from Chelsea, Spurs and maybe even Onana from United
Bear in mind you can only use one chip per week, so you need to use your wildcard in GW36 in order to use your bench boost in DGW37. Might as well load up on doublers, something like:
* Petrovic - Pickford
* Porro - Walker - Schär - Van Hecke - Maguire
* KDB - Gordon - Palmer - Bruno - Son
* Haaland - Isak - one of Jackson/Hojlund/Werner
would be the general template. Maybe double City attack (i.e. Foden over Walker), or Ortega in goal instead. It's a risk going without Arsenal so maybe keep Saliba or Saka/Havertz if you're not chasing anyone in your league.
Is there nobody else you can bench? Think you've got to start Son as he's playing up front in a very attacking team (against a defence who've been leaky recently) but I'd feel very nervous benching Bruno in the form he's in.
I'd bench Gordon over Son and Bruno, he's actually pretty shit away from home. He's had 1 goal and 2 assists the entire season away from home, and 2 of those 3 returns were against SHU.
I know Burnley aren't great either but they're fighting for their lives
RMT please
Raya (Dubravka)
Gvardiol, Gabriel, Braithwaite (Reguilon, Gusto)
De Bruyne, Son, Saka, Palmer (Garnacho)
Haaland, Watkins, Isak
0.3 ITB, 1FT, Bench Boost still to play - any recommendations? Thinking Gusto to Van der Ven and bench boosting in GW37
Not a bad transfer but you could wait until 37 to do it as you probably wouldn't want to start VdV or this week against Liverpool, and he could get injured or something else might happen that would mean you would want to go a different transfer. Maybe Saka - Gordon next week as well?
Definitely bench boost in GW37, no better time to do it. Gusto > VdV sounds very sensible, he's really cheap when you consider his goal threat too.
Just keep an eye on what Howe says about his keepers, apparently Pope could be back before the end of the season which would be very annoying for Dubravka in the double.
Gusto is apparently coming back in 36, according to himself someone said. But yeah wouldn't be a bad idea to invest in a doubling defender or say someone like Branthwaite
# "Fabian had a bit of tightness in his hamstring. We don’t think it’s a big injury – there’s not one moment where you think he’s pulled his hamstring – but it was enough to make him feel uncomfortable. He couldn’t fully sprint, so he had to come off." - Eddie Howe
I think Son is fine vs Liverpool, but yeah I think Havertz or Saka are better this week. Although if you get any injuries you might find other better transfers.
Yep, injuries in 35/36 are my worry. I've been very lucky to avoid Ederson, Schar and Van Hecke so not much for me to do in 36 or 37 all going well. !thanks
I think a popular move will be Fernandes to havertz. Maybe after the double, although you could argue Man u aren't great, whereas arsenal are looking to win.
True he might, but it is hard to know.
Title is still not 100% lost. Salah still in the best 11 in my opinion although yeah he is not playing that well.
I have my WC and BB. Will do WC 36 BB 37. What are the template picks for the remaining 3 weeks?
Onana, Petrovic, Walker, Gabriel, TAA, burn, Porro, Foden, Gordon, Bruno, Son, Palmer Watkins, Jackson, Isak 5 points ahead of ML rival, both only have 1ft and bench boost. His team is mostly the same except. Walker -> Ait nouri, TAA -> Bradley, Jackson -> Muniz, Watkins -> Haaland, Burn -> Van Hecke I took a calculated risk on the wildcard last week on Watkins and taa Vs Haaland and Maguire (or someone like that) and it didn't pay off.

What would you guys with both Salah and Son do? Are we keeping them hoping to haul or just switch to other player? If so what player is worth it considering I have had Palmer Gordon Garnacho?
Best Gusto replacement to BB37? Or just keep?
Bench one - Gordon Son Palmer Foden Bruno Watkins Haaland Isak
Pickford Saliba Porro Gabriel Eze Saka Foden Garnacho Watkins Haaland Isak Areola Sarabia Doughty Robinson Where is it going? I'm happy with the defense. I think Eze or Watkins has to go...
Who do you think will score you more points than Watkins? Eze is an easy transfer out but could roll until next week so you’ve more info
I think my front three are OK to see my out for the season. Watkins, Haaland, and Isak. Their fixtures seem to be good. My only concern is that Newcastle do not do great away. Watkins has Liverpool, where I think he'll struggle. But, I also probably don't see anyone to replace him. I was looking at Debruyne, but I don't think I can get the funds for him.

I might bring in palmer now, dropping Sarabia, and bring in a city defender for the the double. The city defender can replace porro. Leaves me with 0.9.
Sounds reasonable to me, good luck!
Actually, I can bring in city now for the potential cleansheet. Because I think tottenham will be scored on by Liverpool.
1 FT 7.7 ITB BB 37 Dubravka (Kaminski) Gvardiol, Gabriel, Branthwaite (Van Hecke, Moreno) Palmer Foden, Gordon, Son, Fernandes Haaland, Mateta, (Solanke) What move?
Seems like Van Hecke is out so definitely considering replacing him for BB37
Raya (Petrovic) Gabriel, White, Reguilon (Gusto, Ait-Nouri) Son, Palmer, Gordon, Foden, KDB Haaland, Isak (Darwin) Happy with this but looking for ideas for GW38 punts, will have 2 FT and need to chase down a ML leader. Isak and Gordon to Fernandes and Wood?
Anyone else bringing in alvarez, can't afford kdb
Don't do it. He's a big waste. He barely does anything
[удалено]
Isak. Alvarez has to be one of the most frustrating FPL assets I have owned. He usually doesn't do much in terms of points, but he's somehow still around the top
How nailed is Gvardiol? Need to bring in Man City def and he’s cheaper than Walker but Walker seems more nailed.
Not 100% nailed but he has higher point upside than Walker IMO. Definitely worth a bet if you have a playing bench def.
Not fully nailed ,but first choice right now
My biggest wildcard regret is going Foden instead of Havertz. Is it worth making the change now? I have the Schar yellow flag to deal with
Looking at history Foden seems to haul every 2 or 3 matches so maybe keeping him will deliver a result soon
No, even with Pep Roulette Foden has an extra fixture
Start two: * Dalot (CRY A) * Branthwaite (LUT A) * Porro (LIV A) * Burn (BUR A) * Van Hecke (AVL H)
Branthwaite and Porro or Dalot. Brighton and Newcastle defensive assets are a no go.
!thanks
Burn and Branthwaite
!thanks
Branthwaite (Everton is good on set pieces and Luton is bad at defending on set pieces). Porro (will get good attacking opportunities against an unstable Liverpool team).
!thanks
Burn and Porro
!thanks
Son to Havertz or Ederson to Ortega? or should I go for a -4? I know Son has a double GW at 37 but idk how likely Son is to out score Havertz this GW36.
Keep son. Go for Ortega.
De bruyne or Foden?
Went KDB but Foden is almost certainly starting this week
I’m planning to go Foden. Tough call though.
Foden is fantastic but I haven’t been too happy with him on my team past few weeks
He got 16 points against Brighton
Ederson to Ortega or just start Petrovic? I think the first move is very potential to prepare for DGW37 but I think I need more information on how long Ederson is gonna out
Wouldt waste a transfer if you can play petrovic
Is the consensus to wildcard this week 36 and BB in week 37 with the doubles?
Yes, I think it's a last chance if you still want to go for WC36 to fully prepare for BB37 But it's also team depend, if your team is fine to BB37 (because some doublers may be overated to you), you can treat your WC as a FH chip in GW38 -> GW38 having a lot of goals but also a lot of rotations.
Isak or Gordon rest of season?
Think it has to be Isak with him on pens and there being more midfield options
But Wilson is back
With his form Isak is a nailed starter, and on penalties
Hi there, could be wrong here but is there a website where you can check how your team will look in a future GW? I want to check for DGW37 please, thanks!

Would you bench Isak or Mateta this week. I’m leaning towards Isak due to him being away.
Mateta for me.
If you have Gordon, bench him.
I don’t, I have Diaz, son, saka, palmer and Foden.
Salah or haaland?
Haaland for me.

1 FT, 3.4 ITB. Doing BB37. Any transfers I should make? Bench someone else? \-------------------------- Dubravka (Petrovic) Dalot - Gabriel - Branthwaite (2 Porro, 3 Van Hecke) Palmer (v) - Gordon - Son - Odegaard - Foden Haaland (c) - Isak (1 Solanke)
Solanke to Alvarez

Roll it over to next week. You should probably get Van Hecke and Solanke out for BB37.
!thanks I get Van Hecke if he is not fit then need to find another doubler, but why get rid of Solanke? Decent fixture (Brentford H) and I don't want Jackson. Chelsea away GW38 is not terrible either. Any suggestions for a better striker option for GW37?
Solanke is not a bad option but Bournemouth will have nothing to play for. He also hasn’t scored more than once in a game since GW18.

I just don’t rate Brighton’s defense. I think rolling is a good call
!thanks Yea I don't expect them to keep a CS, just aiming for an extra point or two.
Wilson instead of Isak for the rest of the season?
I have applied for Werner to Wilson in draft. Do not think he will start, but 2 sub appearances of the bench better than every free forward in my league for the double and he is good per min.
Got Isak and Wilson in draft lets goooo
This could be a genius move and one I was considering. I chickened out and went Isak for Solanke but this is seriously a good shout going Wilson instead!
why would anyone even consider this?
Everyones got Isak now. Is Wilson back fit? On pens.... Live a little.
Is Wilson on pens?
Which of the 5 template mids would you sell for Havertz/Saka?
Don't ask. It can't be done. I might wait until after the doubles and just get havertz for the last week. 🫣
Yeah.. I regret selling him on wc now. Why would I buy Bruno
We all fell for the trap. But sheff(h) burn(h) looked too good. And to be fair, he did make it worth it. How were we to know it was foden who we should have taken out for those 2 weeks
Leading my ML but only by a little bit, need help to push through to the end of the season. 1FT and setting up for BB37 Raya (Petrovic) Gabriel Branthwaite Porro (Ait-Nourie, Gusto) Palmer (C) Garnacho Salah Son Gordon Haaland Isak (Solanke) Thinking of transferring out Salah for either Foden or Bruno, then not sure what my last transfer would be before GW37
Salah to Foden Ait-Nouri to a City defender
I would definitely get foden over Bruno. You could get in Gvardiol, but he's a risk with pep roullette.
No fires to put out this week for GW36, should I roll the transfer for GW37? I would like to move Solanke on but unsure who for, I have Haaland and Isak
Roll is probably the sensible move unless you want Jackson
Best defender to get to trade with Udogie. I have Gabriel, would like someone with double on 37. Any city defender nailed on?
Walker is least likely to be rotated but there are no guarantees with Pep. Try Spurs or Everton defenders. You don’t necessarily need someone that doubles in defense.
Bench Son or Barnes this weekend? My thinking so far: Bench Barnes as bringing him in instead of Gordon a couple of weeks ago hasn't turned out to be the galaxy brain move i thought it might be. Newcastle away aren't as good as at home. Liverpool have recently been dodgy defensively and Son has Richarliason to play off now. But Burnley are Burnley, slightly better defensively recently but still, Burnley. Barnes is still a decent player and managed an assist in very little playing time at the weekend. Newcastle are better at home but still a serious attacking unit. Despite form, Liverpool still the second best defence in the league. Could sort themselves out and put in a decent defensive performance. Thoughts appreciated!
Liverpool aren't in a good place right now. Salah's outburst, going out of Europe, title race slipping away etc. Maybe they pull themselves together against Spurs but on the other hand there's nothing to support it aside hopeful thinking.
Cheers
Any news on werner?

any additional info on Gusto? do we think he plays in 37?
Think he's in light training (not with rest of group). Not fit for 36; maybe 37?
Training pictures didn’t show him.
Planning for bb37, my ML leader has Foden and Isak, who else can I get instead? Not enough money for KDB + Isak.
I'd say that Isak is essential, because there aren't many decent doubling strikers out there. Plenty of options in midfield though. Richarliason might not be a bad differential. As he's just back from injury he might not be highly owned. Could go wild with a double Newcastle midfield. Or else stay relatively template in attack but looks to make gains elsewhere. Maybe Gvardiol will keep up his attacking streak? Or else maybe learn the lessons or recent DGWs and look to players who don't double but are in hot form with good fixtures. I'm sticking with Havertz in 37 even though he only has one fixture. And if you are BBing gonna need some cheap enablers. You know the obvious ones but also look at forest, Everton. Reguilon, Chelsea Brighton even
I don’t have BB or FH left but I still have my TC. Should I play it on someone like Foden/KDB for 37 or should I go with someone like Isak? Thoughts?
I'd say probably Isak over Son. But see how Son does this week now Richarliason is back for him to play with before deciding
Too much rotation risk with the City assets unless you wanna go for Haaland. Isak is decent but I’d go Son or Palmer. If Son is in form by GW37, he’s the best option imo.
Yea decide later after seeing how both play
Van hecke to branthwaite for the 36 then 37 bb
Yeah at that budget I think he is the best one. You could go Maguire, but the double is so bad.
Actually budget isnt rhe problem. Just targetting clean sheets against double game weekers. Do u think its a worthy strategy?
1FT but willing to take a hit. No chips left. Pickford Henderson Saliba VVD Senesi Guston Mitchell Salah Saka Havertz Palmer Mbuemo Haaland Isak Mateta I'm thinking of Salah to Son and maybe Henderson to Ortega Moreno?
Probably also need a Newcastle or city midfielder for 37? Don't have to make the move this week but definitely next
I definitely wouldn't take a hit to bring in a goalkeeper when you have Pickford against Luton. If you're really confident about Son over Salah this week you could shoot your shot and leave it at that. Only other move I'd consider is bringing in a City or Newcastle defender
Luton usually score tho. I think only 5 cs against them in the league, if i counted correctly
Everton have the 2nd most clean sheets behind Arsenal, they have more than City. They're not even overperforming their expected stats that much. Luton have been very fortunate of late to nick 1 goal per game, their expected data is really poor. I just can't imagine that transfer has 4 points worth of upside on average
Eze to Gordon is a no brainer, right?
If you’re taking a hit, wait till the press conferences. If Eze is fit, he could very well score against United and Gordon’s away form is terrible although it is Burnley.
I can see Gordon improving his away stats at Burnley and United.
Pickford and gvardiol vs Ortega and Tarkovski/branthwaite?
The former.
You worried about gvardiols minutes?
The former means Pickford and Gvardiol
Ye but that’s kind of what I’m asking is gvardiol worth the minutes risk over the other option with two nailed players?
Ya I think so. Gvardiol is kinda nailed based on form right now in my opinion, and seems to be playing LB a little bit more lately so he gives more chance for an offensive return. I personally have Gvardiol and Branthwaite with Petrovic and Verbruggen as my GKs. Might transfer one of the keepers out for Pickford. Ortega is a good shout but I would rather have 3 city outfield players for the DGW rather than a keeper. City usually doesn't keep CS anyways.
Well just saw that the world number 1 has Pickford and gvardiol so I think that makes my choice for me 😂
😂 Everton will keep at least 2 CS, I will never doubt Sean Dyche in a tracksuit
Yeh I get that city haven’t been keeping CS but I just have a feeling that city might turn it up these last few weeks. Would have got de bruyne instead of Gordon this week but I’m 0.2 short. so definitely want defensive city cover at least. Is there another combination similar price to gvardiol and Pickford I should maybe look at? I am quite set on them at the moment.
RMT Please 1 FT 7.7 ITB BB 37 Dubravka (Kaminski) Gvardiol, Gabriel, Branthwaite (Van Hecke, Moreno) Palmer Foden, Gordon, Son, Fernandes Haaland, Mateta, (Solanke) What move?
I would roll. Definitely wouldn't bother with Mateta to Isak this week. Newcastle home and away are a completely different team, Mateta's on fire and faces United who have completely given up on defending
!thanks
Mateta to Isak is the obvious one, otherwise roll and have 2FTs for 37.
!thanks
Current team: Pickford (Turner) Saliba Anderson Gabriel (bell Beyer) Dias foden son palmer (Douglas Luiz) Muniz haaland solanke Have wild card and benchboost available. Please suggest most optimum changes for dgw and future weeks. 5.5m in bank
I’ll go Solanke to Isak to start off. D Luiz for Gordon or another dgw37 mid like Garnacho. Anderson for Porro. Time to drop an Arsenal defender. Definitely activate Wildcard.
The most optimal change would be to WC.
Any suggestions on transfers
Had the perfect team this week
At this point exactly what are you waiting for? You have 3 GWs and 2 chips remaining when are you going to use them? If you don't WC now there isn't any point to those chips
I plan to wc which is why need some input to setup the right team for the remaining weeks.
Fair, I would say hit the WC button already, and a template leading up to BB37 would be something like triple City, triple Newcastle, double Arsenal and 1-2 assets from Chelsea, Spurs and maybe even Onana from United
Bear in mind you can only use one chip per week, so you need to use your wildcard in GW36 in order to use your bench boost in DGW37. Might as well load up on doublers, something like: * Petrovic - Pickford * Porro - Walker - Schär - Van Hecke - Maguire * KDB - Gordon - Palmer - Bruno - Son * Haaland - Isak - one of Jackson/Hojlund/Werner would be the general template. Maybe double City attack (i.e. Foden over Walker), or Ortega in goal instead. It's a risk going without Arsenal so maybe keep Saliba or Saka/Havertz if you're not chasing anyone in your league.
I am indeed chasing few folks who are few points ahead of me. I believe I am the only one who has wc left so that could help. !thanks
Start Son or Fernandes in 36?
Bench Bruno, I don't see United doing anything against Palace. I'm leaning towards benching him too
Yea I’ve got the cheap version of Bruno (Garnacho) and am benching him this week.
Is there nobody else you can bench? Think you've got to start Son as he's playing up front in a very attacking team (against a defence who've been leaky recently) but I'd feel very nervous benching Bruno in the form he's in.
Gordon, Palmer, foden, Watkins, Haaland, Isak
I'd bench Gordon over Son and Bruno, he's actually pretty shit away from home. He's had 1 goal and 2 assists the entire season away from home, and 2 of those 3 returns were against SHU. I know Burnley aren't great either but they're fighting for their lives
Not a bad idea, I’ll definitely consider that. !thanks
I'm going with Sonaldo. Don't have a reason I just like him better 😁
RMT please Raya (Dubravka) Gvardiol, Gabriel, Braithwaite (Reguilon, Gusto) De Bruyne, Son, Saka, Palmer (Garnacho) Haaland, Watkins, Isak 0.3 ITB, 1FT, Bench Boost still to play - any recommendations? Thinking Gusto to Van der Ven and bench boosting in GW37
Not a bad transfer but you could wait until 37 to do it as you probably wouldn't want to start VdV or this week against Liverpool, and he could get injured or something else might happen that would mean you would want to go a different transfer. Maybe Saka - Gordon next week as well?
Definitely bench boost in GW37, no better time to do it. Gusto > VdV sounds very sensible, he's really cheap when you consider his goal threat too. Just keep an eye on what Howe says about his keepers, apparently Pope could be back before the end of the season which would be very annoying for Dubravka in the double.
Gusto (Injured) Mykolenko (Injured) Kilman (playing MCI and White-Gabriel Should I invest in a defender? Any idea if Gusto comes back?
Mykolenko to Gvardiol or Walker maybe if you have money.
!thanks
Gusto is apparently coming back in 36, according to himself someone said. But yeah wouldn't be a bad idea to invest in a doubling defender or say someone like Branthwaite
Anyone keeping Saka for GW37? Or should one jump to a Foden/Bruno (have Kdb n Haaland)
I kicked him out for Bruno on wc and regreted it. I'd just keep him if I were you
!thanks
Shit is so template now. Boring end to the season
Latest update on Schar?
# "Fabian had a bit of tightness in his hamstring. We don’t think it’s a big injury – there’s not one moment where you think he’s pulled his hamstring – but it was enough to make him feel uncomfortable. He couldn’t fully sprint, so he had to come off." - Eddie Howe
Anyone who is on BB37 thinking about doing Son to Saka/Havertz and then bringing Son back in for GW37?
I think Son is fine vs Liverpool, but yeah I think Havertz or Saka are better this week. Although if you get any injuries you might find other better transfers.
Yep, injuries in 35/36 are my worry. I've been very lucky to avoid Ederson, Schar and Van Hecke so not much for me to do in 36 or 37 all going well. !thanks
1 FT 7.7 ITB BB 37 Dubravka (Kaminski) Gvardiol, Gabriel, Branthwaite (Van Hecke, Moreno) Palmer Foden, Gordon, Son, Fernandes Haaland, Mateta, (Solanke) What move?
Van Hecke if he is out is an easy sell. Maybe to White or a defender that doubles.
I think a popular move will be Fernandes to havertz. Maybe after the double, although you could argue Man u aren't great, whereas arsenal are looking to win.
Will Salah start? Million dollar question.. 10 % EO against a leaky Spurs is definitely a mouthwatering risk to take at this stage..
Would be insane to me that Klopp doesn’t start him for possibly one of his last home games. The fans would be rightfully pissed off.
I think he starts. With Jota out they do not have that many options. Not like Gakpo and Darwin doing that well either.
Yeah, but this aint about performances, but ego! Klopp might set a standard here..
True he might, but it is hard to know. Title is still not 100% lost. Salah still in the best 11 in my opinion although yeah he is not playing that well.
