Having an awful time deciding if Mane or Van Dijk is the Liverpool 3rd option I should be bringing in ahead of these plush fixtures and no blank in 31.

Think I am going to get Mane in,all he was missing was that bit of confidence and is a nice differential to have.I have VVD and hasn't done much really.

My worry is that if I go Van Dijk, I keep Hazard until GW31, if I go Mane, I keep Alonso.

So it’s kind of a Hazard/Van Dijk, Mane/Alonso choice. And that isn’t an easy one.

Thinking of Ogbonna and Lingard out to Bauer and Deulofeu this week have 2fts)

Currently have
DeGea Elliot
Gomez Mee Ota Ogbonna Tomkins
Lingard Salah Sterling Walcott Milli
Kun Kane Wilson


Any one any other suggestions ?

If I could afford Mane I’d buy him in a heart beat

He's doing nearly hourly updates on Twitter at this stage...just search for Ben Crelin.

He's making appearances soon as well on a couple of FPL podcasts afaik

Never listened to a FPL podcast, any goods ones? Can imagine its the sort of thing that people could ramble on about on about for too long and over-analyse everything

That's kind of it in a nutshell. An hour talking and what can be summed up (and generally followed easier) in an online article (again of which there are plenty around).

I think I've got my plans more or less sorted. Will mean fielding a mere 7 (+Quaner) for gw28, with the plan that I'll more than make up for it in subsequent gws. More than likely then BB in gw34 and TC in gw37. I won't exclusively be loading up on doublers though. I'll have some single game players in there with good fixtures.

I listened to the Scout one a couple of times and that's it in a nutshell. When the novelty of hearing people discuss what I normally read online goes away, there wasn't anything new to learn beyond what I read here. And it went on for an hour and felt more unstructured than what it should be.

All going well I'll have a keeper for the skinny weeks (Hennessy) and a keeper with one dgw (Adrian )
Be nice if that's little bit of planning works out. Lot can happen yet though..........

Well I well and truly ****in jinxed that didn't I

Looking long term, who would you drop? Otamendi or Alonso? Have 5 other players not playing GW 31, but thinking of taking the free hit for it, as dont want to lose many more potential DGW players. Have a further 5 more with that GW off.

If you don’t have VVD I’d look at doing Otamendi out for him, City likely to leak in a few goals over the next few gameweeks whereas Alonso still has a goal or two in him before the season is out.

What about Davis? But then are Spurs a doubt for GW31 as well?

Spurs v Rochdale replay 28/2

If I make 4 transfers between now and game week 31 I will have 9 starters (some not great th e.g. Mariappa) and still hold on to free hit and wildcard. Would people think that would be ok. Thinking I may need free hit in 34/35

Have 3 Liverpool and then 9 is plenty

I think 8 is fine. I currently have 6 with 4 FTS. However I have no wildcard left so would rather sign future dgw players than some of the blank players available that I would be transferring out a week or two later.

tailgunner

I have Salah, Firmino, Choupo-Moting and Pickford with a game in GW31. I'll get another Liverpool player and probably Wilson, but I'm really struggling to see who else I'd want, even with a wildcard to sort things out after.

danganabu

Yeah I will have 7 incl 3 Liverpool (assuming Spurs have a blank) and considering the teams/fixtures of the others anymore would leave further problems going forward

893bet

Currently have seven that will play gw 31, 3 Liverpool, 2 bour, 1 stoke, 1 wat.

Gonna bank 2 transfers and bring in 2 Huddersfield for 31.

Wildcard gw 32

Anyone else planning to use the Free Hit for GW 31. That's what I had rationally planned to do at the start so I think I'm going to stick with that idea.

Go for it if it feels right. Depends i guess somewhat on what other chips you have and how you want to use them. It's certainly not impossible to put out a very decent team for gw35 without using free hit that week. I've used both free hit and wildcard already and reckon I can field a decent gw35 team going on my current planning. My plans obviously involve players with decent gw35 fixtures but it's not that hard when you consider Liverpool and Arsenal (and probably Man City) all have an appealing fixture that week. Also the likes of Walcott and Shaqiri have a nice gw35 fixture.

I still have pretty much all of my chips available. WC, FH, and TC. :pac:

Possibly, you've no expensive players playing so can basically pick your dream team. 3 Liverpool is a no-brainer (Salah + VVD+ Firmino/Mane), after that where do you go?

Liverpool V Watford
Stoke V Everton
Huddersfield V Palace
Bournemouth V WBA

Just looking, you actually can't even make up £100m from those teams, so you can ignore prices really.

Up front, you've a few retro options, Benteke, Defoe, Sturridge, Rooney.
Plenty of mid-priced mids, Richarlison, Zaha, Shaquiri, Siggy, Walcott
At the back, I'd just go all-out attack with attacking defenders, Coleman, Daniels, PVA, Baines.

Something like:
Foster
Coleman VDV PVA
Salah Mane Shaquiri Walcott Siggy
Benteke, Defoe, Sturridge

You could actually make an awesome team for the 2014 season

Would that team score much more than say a 7 side with Salah,Mane,Firmino, Shaq,Wilson, best keep the FH for later I think.

If you're in a tight league it might make all the difference. Now, I do still have my WC available so ideally I'd use that (plus maybe BB) for the dgw to push me ahead further in the only paid league that I'm in.
