Double Gameweek/Blank Gameweek planning

Looks very much like B'mouth vs WBA should likely join Stoke vs Everton as a confirmed game in gw31.

Yup by no means guaranteed, but needs a wba upset against Liverpool AND a successful negotiation of a 5th round tie while surely prioritising a relegation battle so would be hugely surprised to see this fixture not go ahead

With his injury record I wouldn’t count on him being fit by then
I’ve Learnt my lesson from last year anyway

I brought in Stanislas and Phillips weeks ahead of the skinny week
I held them through injury and loss of form
Neither then played

I’m not doing it again
Daniels is going this week

We could have Burnley Chelsea in 31 aswell if Chelsea go out. Less blanks means less doubles.

Same as myself we both wildcarded early with plans for that blank in mind with some of our players . 6 of the lads I had didn't make it and one of my Everton defs baines I think went off early and didn't get the cs.

Mmmm sounds like fun

King Cantona

I've held all chips - was hoping for huge fixture congestion and a couple of DGWs - historically I always used the bench boost on first day of the season with a strong squad and held the wildcard until a DGW.

Think I may activate the wildcard now, use the bench boost immediately after and save the free hit chip for the DWG later in the season.

I fear there may not be enough chaos later in the season for those of us with all our chips available to fully benefit. I've come around to thinking FH may be better for a DGW than a blank, but there's probably going to be just two DGWs, where I'll be using TC and BB, meaning there's no other option but using FH for the blank. And do you really want to be muddling over whether to bring in Bournemouth or Stoke players with your valuable chip?

If Kane had been healthy for his recent double, the TC would have been perfect, but that's gone now.

Has anyone done the spreadsheet for GW28 for confirmed games?

Here's the Ben Crellin spreadsheet.

The only 2 possible games to be postponed are the games
Arsenal vs man city
Man United Vs Chelsea
All the other 8 games go ahead

Second legs of league cup are Tuesday

Arsenal city has been moved to midweek of gw28 so no double

My two cents...

My idea of a plan at the moment is to WC in GW32 with DGW34 in mind. This allows me to build up to the potentially large blank GW31 without worrying about fixing the team immediately after.

Then the free hit could be used either in the blank GW35 or DGW37 whichever looks the more inviting or pressing in the aftermath of DGW34.

Somewhere in there I'll use the BB too I suppose Could squeeze it in in GW33 immediately after WC if it's possible to set up and then transfer into DGW34. I'm not one for having any more than 11/12 DGWers anyway so not bothered with saving BB for that.

It is still conditional on City not being involved in an FA Cup replay match but obviously more likely that doesn't happen than does.

That's exactly my plan.

Slowly build in the next few weeks towards getting some players who wont blank gw 31, bank transfer gw30 and maybe a 4 point hit to bring in 3 more.

Then WC straight after (on gw32) to remove all those dud players and to exploit dgw 34.

I imagine a lot have this plan, although if you still have your FH then a decent option is to forget all that drip feeding of gw31 players and just use FH that week

**** **** ****
That was part of the reason I don’t get aguero in last week
I swear if Jesus injury is actually long term and Pep is lying I’ll go crazy
It has made a WC this week much more appealing

What ye think of (actual) FH for GW38?

It is though
Very hard to predict lineups and some weird results

I think it could be good as you may have a lot of unwanted dgw players in your team from dgw 37. You would want a fair few teams to have something at stake though.

so anyone care to hazard a guess how many games will go ahead gw31?

According to Crellin's maths it's heavily odds on to be 4-6 games being played going by bookies odds.

Liverpool Watford goes ahead in gw31 now

If wba fail to make the sf it means no dgws for Liverpool. Rules out the chance of salah TC.
