Current draft with a view to BB34, doublers in bold:

Ryan McCarthy
Morgan Christensen Tardowski Lowton Dummett
Mahrez Salah Son Willian
Lukaku Aubameyang Firmino

0.0 ITB

Salah, Firmino, and Aubameyang are the players I want to keep despite the lack of upcoming doubles, and I can't afford a doubler over Dummett (but at least he's there for DG37).

Not sure about having 3x Burnley players, and apart from Christy my defence is ultra pound shop - more playing around to come for the remainder of the week. I may keep Auba for 32 & 33, then sell him for 34 for Vardy and upgrade defence/goalkeeper.

I’ve 3 Brighton and that’s too many I’m guessing same with Burnley try to swap out 1 maybe

Any love for Mccarthy from Southampton for the wildcard cheap and has a double?

Too risky
New manager may have other ideas about first choice keeper

Wouldn't need Guddy til the dgwk but it'd be nice to hear some concrete news about him before Saturday.

Was Forster injured all along or just dropped?

What keeper would you get as your back up with BB still to use in the DGW?

Is Phil Jones likely to start this weekend now he's back in training? Looking for a cheap Utd defender if possible.....Lindeloff would be nice if he was likely to start

Depends if you have free hit left or not? I don't so i will probably get Hennessy in so I'll have a playing keeper in 35. Otherwise, Ryan is a popular choice for gw34 bb and Fabianski for GW37 bb.

Yup I’ve all my chips... probably going B.B. 34 and tc 37... have Ryan in my current draft might move Dunk to a different 4.5 defender with better DGW

Ryan is probably the best shout so
Can play him 33 instead of DDG if you wanted .......not sure I would

Also moved Dunk to Chilwell have 2 defenders from Leicester now but .2 banked and good fixtures and double game week. Better having 2 Leicester then 2 Brighton I’m thinking

normanoffside

DDG Ryan
Robertson, Mustafi, Mee, Morgan, Duffy
Mahrez, Miki, Salah, Son, Gudmonnson
Barnes, Auba, Lukaku

That leaves me with 10 doublers for BB GW34 and 5 with a single. The single game week players are 2 x Liverpool- (home to Bournemouth) and 3 x Arsenal- (Away to Newcastle).

I have 8 for GW 35 and should have 2 FT to get in 2 city players (Lukaku and Mahrez likely to go). I'll go without a GK in this GW

Then I should comfortably be able to afford 10 Doublers + Salah for GW 37 and plan to use the TC on Kane.

I'm happy enough with my wildcard team as it stands

Same here, and given it's a "knock one would hope he'll be ok. Very little else at that price point to consider with a double so might chance it!

Posted about whether I should WC or not and put it in Dbl GW/blank GW thread by mistake...appreciate if anyone took a quick squint at my post,I have WC,BB and TC chips left,

Thanks if anyone glances at my post.

Wondering if I should WC before the new GW starts....have WC,BB and TC left.

Current Squad is
Fabianski/Speroni
Davies,Robertson,Mariappa,Fernandez,Francis
Walcott,Salah,Doucoure,Shaqiri,Surman
Augbamengyang,Vardy,Firmino.

Am I right in thinking my current squad has a few out of form lads such as Walcott,and a few lads like Mariappa I brought in for GW 31 who wouldn’t be great for points going forward?
Have 10m in the bank and 1ft ....if I WC this week do I have 2ft next week or just the one?

Thanks for any advice on whether I should WC and sort out my team a bit or just take a hit or two.

If you don’t WC now when do you plan too?

Good question....if wasn’t doing it this GW(which might be more sensible )...I could take a few hits and WC in GW 33 or 34.Not having a brilliant season...around 270k OR so tbh would like to finish the season well so taking to account the chips I have left....namely WC,BB and TC....I would like to maximize my chances of ending the season well,hence me wondering should I bite the bullet and take WC this GW.
Thanks for reply.

When would you look to use the BB or TC? Bere in mind you can’t use the WC in the same week

That’s probably a problem in that I haven’t thought enough about it!....looking at my current squad do you reckon I should WC now?

Western Pomise

Am considering using WC this GW....as matter of interest did people who pulled the trigger before Int games avoid losing much in team value or gain in team value?...(naturally enough depends on who you swapped in or out).

Kinda kicking myself I didn’t pull trigger earlier.

Jones,Bailly or Smalling any definite starter?

hufpc8w3adnk65

Harry Kane back by next weekend means most likely Kane and Firminho in and Auba & Lukaku out

Bailly when fit then it is anyones guess for rest of season

Jesper

Pope/Hennessey

Smalling/Mustafi/Lowton/Chilwell/Mariappa

Mahrez/Son/Salah/William/King

Abu/Vardy/Lukaku

0.7 in the bank.

I'm happy with Midfield and Strikers.

My main question is who would I like in Defensive from Chelsea/Man U/Arsenal and Spurs. But I can only afford 3 of them. So Christenson, Mustafi, Smalling, Cech/Lloris/Courtois are the main choices in my head.
Smalling plus Mustafi/Christenson and after this game week upgrade Pope to Courtois/Lloris or Cech.

Any suggestions? I'm on WC and have FH to play in GW35.

normanoffside

Not gonna put Kane in just yet but need a plan to get him in for 34....

hufpc8w3adnk65

I’m looking at the Kane situation and the below gives me .1 itb only

DeGea Ryan
Morgan Chilwell Mee Stephens Tomkins
Salah Mahrez Son Willian Gudmundsson
Kane Auba Barnes

Had Groll and Lukaku but swapped to Gud & Kane. I think the way I have it now is better for the entire run in. With only .1 itb I cant afford any changes. Tho the Groll and Lukaku combo is much more appealing for this week for sure

When was this announcement about Kane made?...do you mean you are bringing Kane and Firmino in now or next GW?

I’m on wildcard now. So if I’m doing it, it will be this GW


Pochettino on Kane: "He is doing very well. Every day he is improving. We need to assess him, it is still a few days until the game. I think it is difficult now to say yes or no. If not this w/e, maybe next but the most important is we are so positive about his recovery." #COYS https://t.co/lNctiF5onl

This is one of the first time Ive played WC and can't get happy with the team for next few GW's

De Gea Ryan
Smalling Christensen morgan Robertson lowton
sterling mahrez salah William Grob
Aub Vardy Firmon

Sterling + Aub/ Firmino to Kane and an other Gw 34 it looks like

ThunbergsAreGo

Why Smalling? Isn't he a massive rotation risk
