Double GW28 Transfer thread

FPLStats has been unreliable this season, Ive seen players at 93/94ish who have then gone on to rise in price that night and then others at over 100 who didnt rise and fall back to mid to high 90's.

I think a -12 is too much just to use a bench boost, on a good day the BB is worth around 20 points but on a bad one it can be worth 8 or less. iirc my BB got me something like 15 points last season so I couldnt see a -12 hit being worth it unless you have some bench fodder like Ramsey or Weghorst who somehow goes wild with a hat trick, which is a real outside punt.

I was thinking of using the BB chip this week with eight DGWers and 7 singlers. But I think Im gong to hold off and use it it in DGW36 instead where Id hope to have at least 11 doublers and maybe more. I had intended the second free hit that week so I could attack the fixtures but reckon now I'll just BB that week.

Have transfers done last night, Mee to Rudiger and Bowen to Wilock for -4. Im half tempted to go -8 later and move Weghorst to Adams but think I'll likely hold off. Armband on Rudiger at the moment as you cant trust Jiminiez minutes after he got benched last weekend. Would hope Rudiger can match Salah and if Chelsea get two clean sheets he should outscore him.

I think it is a decent team so long as you are comfortable going all in on Wolves defence and Chelsea defence. Be aware that Semedo is now injured and he is supposed to be the rock in the Wolves defence so things could be looser at the back, time will tell. I hold Saiss myself and am playing him but aware his clean sheets could get wiped if they Semedo missing effects them.

Who are you going to captain? Theres some decent options there. Im going Rudiger but if I had Raphina would probably go with him. Not sure on Coutinho despite his double, all his returns came in his first 3 games for Villa, he has been quiet since though he does have potential for a double digit haul.

If you are BBing then I think its worth it though it does mean missing out on Tierneys double next week (one is v Liverpool though so unlikely CS there). You also have to absorb Rudiger not playing in GW30 but that aside Chelseas fixtures are good for the next 5 or 6 gameweeks so my plan is to go with Rudiger for at least this gameweek and keep an eye on how James plays in the mean time.

Thats ballsy but a fair punt too. James a player I want back but playing it safe with Rudiger for this double. Though I think I read Azpi is injured which would mean Tuchels hand on playing James is forced somewhat?

After convincing myself not to play the BB this week and leaving it to 36 Im now staring at a bench of Ramsdale, Saka, Ramsey (doubling) and Weghorst and thinking of using it. If Arsenal kept a CS v Watford and a single Ramsey return in his two games then it would be around 20 points assuming Weggie blanks v Chelsea.

hey K, great to see you back. I own Jiminez and he is on the pitch despite him being benched last Sunday, its total DGW fever for better or worse. Im on a -4 already, I did consider a -8 to get rid of Weghorst for Adams who doubles. Im FHing in GW30 anyway so covered on that GW, iirc the latest is only 8 teams play butt he FH will cover it.
