Have you BBed?
If not do you see a chance in GW26 or GW27 if you forego Kun and take one hit max?

Already played it which is why I don’t really need to hold WC too long
I think I’m going to use WC and transfers to navigate the blanks and then FH for big DGW
I’ll have 3 Liverpool when I WC too and will play them every week even if they don’t have a DGW........unless they keep progressing in Europe which will then be a huge headache
If they get knocked out then that makes things a whole lot easier
Pep is already talking about the league in terms of next season so I am now even questioning holding KDB
Tempted to get mane back in with salah !

Hmm this is interesting...Mané could be a big differential in 28 as a lot will have either sold him or switched to double defence. Hmm...

Oh look who Liverpool have at home gw27...........yes indeed
I see a plan coming together
Pool could go all out to wrap up the league during that run of games
And cash is no issue really
In fact I could prob even keep KDB too as I’ll be selling aguero and whenever I look for mid priced mids I just don’t see any I really trust
I’ll just see how a team with mane salah KDB
And frontline of Jiminez Vardy Ings looks so.......

OK I was pretty sure you had: it's in my thoughts to BB before WC.
I just can't crystalize the plan in my head yet. Ryan and Webster are pissing me off and I haven't had a SHU defender all season.

FPL wise I want Liverpool out of the FA Cup. Lack of doubles will tempt players to ditch them perhaps. Going out of CL will take the edge/attraction off Pool assets and we have to wait for GW30 for that!

I'll go check Busts squad. I think he mentioned BB soon.

ElTel

Hendo in for Ryan.

Didn't realise he was in as a midfielder, thats very interesting

Can't decide between him and Son. Have 6.5m itb.
Considering upgrading fodder Douglas.L to Son and going 3-5-2.

Or take a hit and go Maddison to Bergwijn, Greenwood to Auba/Firmino. 3-4-3.

Current team
Henderson
Lundy Soy Robertson Rico Kelly
Maddison KdB Salah Traore Douglas.L
Vardy Greenwood Ings

Which, if either, are worth the -4 this week?
A. Vardy to Firmino
B. Soyuncu to Gomez
C. Neither

Is Vardy out for the next game? If not then C.

Long-term I'd be tempted by B. Depends on the rest if your team.

Cartman78

Another boring defensive move for me...Cathcart out for Boly probably.

Gambling on Mane being fit and Lundstram getting minutes. Already have 3 out for GW28 so don't fancy a Sheffield defensive double up

Morzadec

8 point hit last week paid off leaving my team looking in decent shape again.

It's either Lord to Stephens or Dendonker to H.Barnes / Traore. Snoddy an outside bet too but the fixtures aren't great.

Just depends who I think will return better over the next GW or two as likely I'll make the other move in the coming weeks if I don't do it now.

Stephens has nice fixtures in the next 2 and I don't own McCarthy so seems like the logical choice. Gives me extra time to eye up Barnes / Traore too ahead of their respective nice runs.

Shifting from a 3-4-3 to a 3-5-2 likely for the forseeable as there's no real viable options under 6.0 up top, while there's a few tasty options in midfield for that price. So Greenwood as my perma-bench in my attacking 8

Shedite27

Tosun to Martinelli is looking at me. Tosun punt was a disaster, Martinelli impressed whenever he's played, and has a nice fixture list (and might even get a DGW out of him)

Thinking of doing the same but will have to move tonight or I won't be able to afford it.

But....

Also looking at Cathcart to Stevens (or other SHU defenders)...would leave me with 10 starters for GW28 (also have Fleck and Aubameyang) which isn't ideal but the fixtures are so good and there's always the chance of a Lundstram haul (?????)

IrishLad90

Mane for hendo. Impressed with his performance the last few weeks and a good point haul last week..
Schmeichel soyuncu lundstram all in the squad, scraped maddison (was a replacement for mane)

thunderdog

Did Noble to Barnes last night. It was a toss up between him and Traore. The flag on Traore swung it for Barnes

jimmii

In a vacuum which do people think is better over the next 6-8? Firmino & Boly or VVD & DCL? For some reason I don't want to keep hold of Firmino but that looks the better option right?

Listening to FFS podcast has reinforced my thinking
Bascially Agueros stats are much much better than Auba but we knew that by watching
But the bit that got my interest more so was.......people who have WCed or are WCing this week will not get Aguero as his fixtures after this are not great and have a blank in 2 weeks
So I have basically gone all in on city this week in the hope of making big gains and then hopping off and onto WC train within 2 weeks

Not even sure why I'm questioning it lol! Could always follow it up later and move Firmino to Jiminez and open up a pool space that way.

Firmino is my get out of jail Aguero option in the unlikely event that I do not WC by 28
If I do I think I will double up mane and salah
But I certainly wouldn't sell him if I was you before 28 anyway
And most def not for DCL
Boly will be in my team within a few weeks as well

Porthallian

Absolutely no idea what to do with my team. Have 6.5m to spend and 1ft.

Current team
Henderson Stek
Lundy Soy Robertson Rico Kelly
Maddison KdB Salah Traore Douglas.L
Vardy Greenwood Ings

I would like Aguero, Firmino, Son in that order. But my defence is also a disaster. Want to hold the WC though.

Any advice?

Would be selling dcl or firmino to bring in Ings definitely not buying dcl again any time soon! Its great we have this break but annoying for fpl with no chance of much team news!

I'd probably do Greenwood out and spend that money in the bank although tempting to at least plug one of the gaps at the back too. Boly looks good for the next while.

Kun or Firmino is my dilemma. Think Kelly will be first on the defense chopping block, for Boly/Stephens

Disagree on the easily part.

I have opted for VVD & a player in the DCL bracket over Firmino & it has worked out in my favour.

It’s not an easy decision. VvD will be consistent, Firmino will have spikes in performance

It’s not a bad team. I’d be doing Greenwood & Maddison to Aguero & then someone like Barnes or Redmond

Wolves defender and liverpool attacker
vs
second pool defender and everton attacker

Given the relative fixtures etc I think its an easy decision
DCL just does not float my boat. Can not wait to sell him

The important aspect for me is he already owns Firmino
I would not say easily if he didnt already own him
but he does
So it is a question for him of who does he sellout of firmino and DCL
Thats an easy decision

I'm overthinking the blanks in GW28 and when to play the Free Hit/WC. Sensible move is probably just get Aguero in. He could hit a big score vs West Ham.
Have 8 starters at the moment (including Rico).

I have both those chips left and bought Aguero
see my post a few up about the opportunity before you for this week......there is an element of risk (pep rotation) but the reward............I would be deeply upset if I missed out on his hat trick

Ok you've convinced me :P
The issue is raising the 1.1m now.

Maddison to a 6.4 mid, not much in that range. There's Perez/Barnes but don't fancy the Leicester triple-up anymore. Broke my heart that all three got me 4 points last week.

Redmond maybe. Ox is tempting but waste of a Pool spot. Trossard? Hmmmm.... He does like a home fixture.

Back to the drawing board

Have 6.5m so unless I take Vardy out and hold Greenwood

Looking at your team I have to be honest (similar defence to mine too) you are in wildcard territory
Greenwood along with all those defenders and Douglas luiz is unsustainable
If you are only making one transfer you probably should just upgrade either greenwood or luiz this week and then WC as soon as deadline passes

Getting ageuro would be more fun and potentially a lot more reward even with the minus 4 though
Downgrading Maddison to someone with a better fixture this week would then allow you to have that player , ageuro and Vardy play this week
And you would captain aguero

So assuming he starts I would still Risk it as the alternatives are meh

ShimSlady

I think people are jumping the gun on Lundstram. The managers comments after the last match certainly indicated he could be back in the starting 11 next GW

Agreed and I will keep him for this week and maybe next
But
His place is now under threat without a shadow of a doubt at a time when they have excellent fixtures and at a time when we will need our bench AND there are alternative options at same price in his team
So he will go for me on WC most likely

Mmmm I know the defence is now a shambles. But I'd rather wait and see if Lundy is back in the team, I know Kelly's starting days are likely over. Rico is a frustrating player to own. Soyuncu points have dried up.

I always try and hold the WC to build towards double GWs and blanks. Still unsure if that's the right tactic or just go for a better team now with players that regularly start.

It's either Douglas to Son, or Greenwood/Maddison to Kun/Redmond or Trossard.

And reassess for GW27.

Aguero & Redmond for me. Captain Aguero too.

Redmond then has Villa, Norwich, Newcastle & West Ham so you might not be rushed into a WC

Your team then will be

Henderson

Lundy Soy Robertson (Rico, Kelly)

KDB Salah Traore Redmond (Luiz)

Vardy Ings Aguero

That’s a pretty decent team but just have a ****e bench. Don’t be wildcarding cause of your bench unless you want to BB.

You will then have 2 FT’s until BGW 28 and can replace Soy, Kelly, Rico or Luiz. Plenty of options there

Wolves have 4 clean sheets in 25 league games. Firmino hasn’t scored at home all season.

Liverpool have a run of fixtures where they should be getting 4 clean sheets in next 6 games.

DCL has 7 goals in his last 10 games. Will Boly be getting 7 clean sheets in his 10?

It’s not an easy call & I would be going the Liverpool double up as there are more options in the striker bracket to move onto from DCL

The wonderfish

Bit of a conundrum, got Auba in last week and was pretty unimpressed with him and Generally with Arsenals attack last week, considering swapping out for aguero - have the funds and it would be a FT...mad move??....fear of missing a kun haul!

Appreciate all the feedback. Cheers man!
Gonna go ahead with this and start upgrading the defence in the next few weeks

I'm gonna hold him too but the problem is that you'd love to start him against Bournemouth and Brighton at home, but he looks like a banker to come on for a one point cameo if he's on the bench.

manual_man

Banking the transfer. Holding on to Vardy i think he'll come good

dahat

I'm going to bank this week to give me the most possible options in the coming weeks. I have 2/3 players that are on short term ownership so hopefully they deliver this week.

Thinking Kelly and Grealish out for Aurier and H Wilson. Thoughts?

Not exactly sure where the love for Harry Wilson is coming from at all. Surely a lot better to go for in that price range? How’s your Leicester stock? Barnes interest you?

Aurier is touch-and-go. Spurs still embarrassing defensively and their fixtures aren’t super, but he’s a good attacking asset for his price. Would rather a Soton defender right now like Stephens.
