Double Gameweek/Blank Gameweek planning

km79

Cant decide between Lukaku and Auba but after a quick look I may not have too...........loads of cheap options in defence and a few sneaky ones in Midfield too.
Ive been keeping an eye on Gudmonson for a while now and he may well be coming in.
I've struck a balance between 34 and 35 now I think and will have enough transfers to rejig for 37 and hope Kane is back for TC

Trying to decide on the best cheap GK to go with De Gea for BB in GW34 - will only be playing him in GW34 (unless De Gea gets injured!)

Was fixed on Fabianski (EVE at home) despite only a single game - it's a good fixture imo and Swansea have been tight enough at the back the past few weeks

Now the idea of double fixtures is tempting me to look at Ryan or McCarthy (is he nailed on?) Both have tough enough fixtures, though perhaps good potential for save points - have I missed anyone out?

I’m currently on DeGea and Ryan.

Tempted to play the TC in GW34, and BB in GW37. Only reason being, based on current squad, all DGW players, get points (assuming they play).

Two things making me doubt this, is when or if Kane returns, and if not back by GW35, who else to give the TC to.

Yes I see Ryan could swap in for De Gea when Man Utd play City as well as another option, though would probably still start De Gea, so that's a good call. Thanks!

Not been following closely this year and apologies if covered already..Still have WC, BB and TC left - is the best route to use the WC this week?

Who_8_Paul?

In a strange way I'm happy I don't have my WC left, it's difficult enough figuring out the best way to use FH, TC and BB. For those without WC but the other three chips left, the best plan I think might be to obviously use all free transfers on DGWers especially 2x DGWers, then TC in 34 (since you won't have 14/15 DGWers by then with transfers), FH in 35 and BB in 37 when your free transfers and 1/2 hits over 4/5 weeks gets you 14 DGWers + Salah. There's at least 5 free transfers before GW37 to get there.

Just put together a mock team if I didn't have FH left. I don't envy you that's for sure. I got 7 for the blank week. Only way I'd approach it is to have 2 FT for that week and -4 my way to 10 players with just a goalkeeper missing.

You may need to update it, to take into account Crellins/FPL updates.

FH34 Alternative WC

WC 33 The squad is stacked with players who double in GW37 and who have
good fixtures in GW33, GW35 and GW36. The rest of squad have no
double in GW34 (yes no Chelsea Man United Leicester Spurs etc) but
have nice fixtures in the above GWs

FH34 Get your Man United Chelsea Spurs etc.

BB/TC 35 Your original squad hopefully all play without a transfer.

GW36 2FTs to bring in assets from the GW34 doublers, perhaps delaying on
Man United players until GW37.

GW37 TC/BB


Some of your squads could suit WCing after FH34 etc. but I just posted it because I like the "black-and-white" style of this that negates early planning the DGW37 and allows you to be reactive for more GWs.

Anyone else keeping Firmino, especially for the first double? Home to Bournemouth

At the money yes but I’ve no WC or FH
I’ve 2 FT this week and looking at various options to best navigate the doubles and 35 I ended up with a front line of auba lukaku and firmino .......allows flexibility to get Kane in if I want

Any chance any more games get added to 34 or 35?

I don't think so.

I'd like to know if the order of the DGW37 fixtures can change assuming all the remaining unscheduled fixtures get put in there.

Looking to manage here with just my TC and BB remaining. I'm finding it hard to look past TC Lukaku in 34 BB i might play in 38

Definitely none to be added to DGW34. At least one of the teams involved in each of the 6 remaining games is already playing twice in DGW34.

Games could go into GW35 or 36, but both are European weeks and there is no need to use these weeks as all games will fit into DGW37.

Strongly considering it - have had him for a few weeks now and will see if he is in good form in 32 & 33 and if not, or depending on the CL situation may transfer him out for the double.

sicknotexi

I didn't activate my WC and now I'm favouring.

Maybe take a -4 to set me up for GW 32 and GW 33
FH GW 34
Should get 11 out GW 35( surprisingly easy)
WC GW 36
BB GW 37 (Also have TC so could use this gw and BB 38 if I don't use before obv.)

Anyone else going this route?

Fair play to him if they do but people would hardly pay for that would they?

Seaba

Want to BB in GW 37 as I will get 14 DGWers out plus Salah but Kane TC sticks out like a sore thumb assuming he is back fit.
TC Mahrez in GW 34 is a bit chancey with the first game away to Burnley?! Can't see Lukaku starting both games.
On a WC at the moment and have FH and BB left also.

Some big money mini leagues around - €10? could be well worth it.

When anyone asks for advice here we should start charging. Fair play if he can get money out of it but I can't see the point.

Wonder if he will start putting his info in future behind some kind of paywall/ paid subscription site.

There's always crazy people willing to pay for stuff like that! A few years ago I would have thought he'd maybe interest ffs but I don't think he would add much at this point. If he can make a bit out of this while he's unemployed then fair play to him guess he's not really going to be attracting people like us with the offer!

He may be able to make a decent spreadsheet but it's not like he's Kouwenberg I don't see why people would think he'll be able to conjure up an amazing transfer plan.
