    Nothing a -12 won't fix. :pac:

    Lesson learned, keep FH for DGW/BGW next season.

    I have 12 DGW players and 1 transfer.

    I was going to use the TC on Aguero or Sterling, but perhaps I should BB instead with another transfer or two and get more quality and use the TC for the other DGW?

    Patricio - Guaita
    Doherty - Azpil - Duffy - PVA - (Bednarek)
    Sterling - Pogba - Camarasa - (Mane) - (Barnes)
    Rashford - Aguero - Higuain

    Although it might be best to keep my transfer to sort GW33 instead!

    WC in 34

    I guess I'd just feel dirty having DGW players on my bench and not playing :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 805 ✭✭✭SameOleJay


    The Wildcard in 34 really works out a beaut, you can very easily manage a full 11 DGWers in 35 (14 with BB) and have a very strong team for the weeks besides.

    Are there any standout TC's outside of GW32 though? I have 3 candidates in GW32 and struggling to see anyone else. Aubumeyang for CRY/wol about as good as it gets?

    It's a pity Ings is loan-tied for the BGW, would have been a nice.

    I'm in a similar boat to you with GW32. Leaving our Cardiff DGW players on the bench is the right call.

    All depends on how many points someone gets with their FH, lads last week got 40/50?

    I used it in GW19 and got 101. A -12/-16 could easily work out for someone this week, or GW34 for instance.

    Yup. I'm delighted that I used my FH last week. Admittedly I kind of had to anyway as I could only field two players or something like that.


    Looking at my team now though and it's very well set up for this DGW even before I've made any transfer, plus I do still have the WC left. :):)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,062 ✭✭✭✭eh i dunno


    WC this week and hope for the best. Hopefully have 9 playing twice and then hopefully 8 playing in week 33

    That’s it though. You were either set up for GW31 to FH GW32 or had to FH GW31 and set up for GW32.

    I’d be looking at scores over GW31,32 and 33 before deciding if my strategy was right or wrong. Ultimately I don’t think there will be a huge difference


  • Registered Users Posts: 713 ✭✭✭loadwire


    Used FH last week (went badly).

    Salah -> Haz for GW32 will give me:

    Allison
    Luiz AWB Duffy (Kola, Bednarek)
    Pogba, Sterling, Delofeu, Hazard (Fraser)
    Kun(TC), Zaha, Jimenez

    A -4 in GW33 will give me 10 players at the moment - plenty of time for all those plans to go to ruin I know.

    Most likely WC in GW34, BB GW35.

    indeed.

    the low scoring week that was GW31 has kind of meant that everything should be quite even, unless the people who thought they were fúcked for GW31 also think they're fúcked for GW33.

    I'm thinking triple captain this week (I have 7 DGW and 1 free transfer too).

    Then work at getting 15 players for week 34 or 35 and playing bench boost. I still have my wildcard. I know I can't use that and bench boost in the same week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,324 ✭✭✭✭PARlance


    Think I'm going to use my WC this week (FH already used).

    4 subs will have to be BGW players.
    I'll prob have 3 Chelsea
    2 Palace
    1 Pool

    With a FT, I will hopefully have 11 then.
    Build for BB for the next DGW then.


  • Registered Users Posts: 470 ✭✭catrat12


    I have bench boost and triple captain left was thinking of using -8 to leave me with 15 players on double gameweek and using bench boost
    Good or bad idea
    Advice welcome

    15 players on a DGW means you've no Liverpool = bad idea

    3 Chelsea, 3 Palace, 3 playing subs for GW33
    Will bring in 2 Pool then!

    Kepa (Hamer)
    Luiz, Dalot, Laporte, AWB (Yedlin)
    Hazard, Sterling, Pogba, Milivojevic (Brooks)
    Aguero, Zaha (Wilson)

    Team will need a bit of work but think that's the general jist of what I'll be doing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,062 ✭✭✭✭eh i dunno


    Also on WC and thinking
    Ryan hamer
    Laporte lindelof dunk TAA bednarek
    Hazard pogba Mili jwp McNeil
    Kane aguero vardy

    That's the first draft. Any thoughts?

    Using my WC to build for the DGW and the blank GW.

    Looking at 7DGW'ers

    10 players in the blank.

    I'm going head first into the double with my WC, have lost awful ground, over 100k places dropped since Jan out to 140k OR. Planning towards the blanks I think caused the majority of my bad calls by holding onto players just for BGW31 and not getting onto the Wolves train which steamed through town.

    Have no FH so BGW33 will be a hit and hope with what I have left over after my WC and then BB in DGW35.

    Need to stop overthinking on who to get in and just go for it, I'll give it a rest for a week or so unless anyone I have suddenly decides to drop in price rapidly.

    11 DGW'ers and 9 Blank (will get 11 but will require a -4 and probably too much faith in Chelsea & Palace).


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 8,576 Mod ✭✭✭✭Wilberto


    I'd probably have more faith in Palace than Chelsea.

    I see Brighton have a 'triple double' in GW32, 34 and 35.
    I am doubling up on defence, Ryan and Dunk added.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,651 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Quaner is listed on the website now too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,127 ✭✭✭✭normanoffside


    On WC
    I have :
    Ryan- Guaita
    Dunk-AWB-Boly (Bednarek, Robertson)
    Pogba, Mané- Sterling-GerryD (JWP)
    Jimi-Aguero-Kane

    So as it stands I have: 10 doublers for 32 (Plus Mané),
    2 Doublers for 34 (Dunk and Ryan) and 11 Doublers for the BB in 35 (plus I'll have 2 FT to get 13 Doublers).

    I'm Free hitting in 33 so i don't have to worry about that right now.

    I have a lot of Value in Robertson but I can FH him in for 33, so i might get rid of him this GW actually and get in Trippier or another Spurs defender.....not sure. Will leave that decision until later.

    And Fellaini removed finally.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,264 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Liverpool are so strong at home. I can understand the temptation of FH'ers to field 11 doublers, but we've seen before having 2 games isn't always what we hype it up to be. If i was on FH i think i'd select Mane for sure. In such good form. Maybe go without a 'Pool defender since they're up against Spurs and haven't been as solid defensively lately at home.

    Brighton’s double in GW34 is almost perfect. Bournemouth and Cardiff both at home. I think I will triple up on defence and get Duffy in. Himself and Dunk are 2 of their biggest goal threats as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,931 ✭✭✭shmeee


    Firmino to Quaner to free up some cash just done before FPL pull him. A 4.3mil 3rd forward bench fooder will help for sure!

    Any opinions on best strategy for this with FH, TC and BB left but no WC?
