There's more than one 😯

Wait for the press conference. Its a really tough call I think

Hits take some of the value out of DGWers. If you need a hit to finance say 2DGWers then in such circumstances its useful. I wouldn't take a hit for a defender if its a one off however.

None. I don't see any GW33 players worth taking a punt on that I can't get without a hit.

I will probably bring Yaya in for one week on a free though.

I think GW34 is where you start punting to the rest of the season... The WC allows you to do that.

No one for a hit, but I'm up for some punts with my 2FTs.

He might but I certainly wouldn't expect him to start both games of the DGW. I'd say that would be very unlikely

Cahill and Azpi have been our two best defenders in the last few weeks. So doubt it.

Doubt it. I think on balance Mourinho was sending a message to Cahill to up his game...and he has a bit.

I've already got Gomis and I will probably replace him with a DGW player in a few weeks.

Yup

Yeah

seems like even more reason to go for Rooney. Think he is a better all round pick and I have the money in the bank and will likely drop after 2 weeks so doesn't make much difference as I am not going to make any other moves until the DGW

I'm going Kane. QPR playing well and think they'll push Chelsea a bit.

Who is your 5th mid?

if you have 2 ft then B is a great pick

murray

Gomis Frank

It's not silly, but i think there are better uses for the 2 FTS. I'm running with the safety of double Chelsea defence with Terry and Ivanovic.

Remy is just too punty IMHO.

I tend to agree. There is definitely a case for Austin owners to keep and go with 352. I suppose then it depends on who your 5 midfield starters are for GW32 & 33? No doubt 5 midfielders can be handy for the DGW

Might do.

Got 2 frees but damned if I know what to with them. Need to shift blankers but reckon I'll wait till next week.

I guess the strategy will be to get Chelsea and Leicester players for gw33 and then Liverpool and Hull for 34. I might be a -4 each gw and have 9 DGW players.

Yep I'm saving. Eriksen and Aguero my only off the boil players but neither an immediately pressing issue. Better to have the 2FT for the blank, as you say.

You were destined for greatness Ian, destined for greatness.
What happens now, echoes in eternity.

😯

"I name this baby episode 156 Champ"
Moments in time like tears in rain.

Agree. I know they are last gw's points but I can't bear to ship players who got 23 and 21 points for me. I will keep both and then transfer for gw33.

If you want to do well at FPL with OR you have to be patient. The definition of that IMO is that good players (picks) deliver pts in unlikely games....and that happens a lot. How often do folk post "Doh....i shipped him out this week because of the fixtures"...It happens over and over again.

Austin only got one clear chance against Villa. Will he get even that, against Chelsea?

I'd stick and save the FT for next week!

Wollscheid over Rose?

Play Mané ffs. He might be a captain shot

or Bony (VILLA) over Giroud for gw34?
But that forces me in yet another transfer. I'd want a guaranteed 3more points than Giroud gets in that scenerio for Bony as his transfer out will likely prevent or delay another useful one, or might even cost -4

I do think Aguero will find form, his stats have been good, just that his Goal Conversion has gone down, which I think soon will return to his average. He has amazing fixtures too. If you're fine without him then I can't fault that team at all. Maybe get Bellerin instead of PvA/Duff if possible?

I am taking N'Doye over Kane. I'll bench him in 35 (3-5-2) and he has a juicy fixture in 36. Then he becomes Defoe in 37 for the DGW. In 38 I'll either switch Defoe out or bench him and play 3-5-2 again.

Works very well for me.

It's fine but if you can afford it I think the more the merrier and have 3 from each. Both have decent options so it's not like Leicester or Hull where if you stock up you then have to scratch your head wondering how to immediately get rid of them.

I would say no.

about having the right players innit. dgw and sgw. can't change the fact that you have 3 free trades and the blank for pool to contend with

I haven't even worked out what I'm doing yet 🙁

Hey Champ.

Benching Siggy this week?

That's an amazing team you'll have for the DGW. One hit and you get 7!

My plan is to get Zaha for Sinclair so I can cover GW33, and get Pool defense and mid to add to Sturridge, Hazard and Zouma making it 5 without a hit.

Also, what you reckon? Zaha or Puncheon? Zaha more of a goal threat, Puncheon more like the architect.

Same except Ozil, Bellerin and Cresswell, not Mane, Bertrand and Moreno

Schlupp will get dropped and ruin your plans 😉

Tidy team mate, solid plan as well, can't fault it.
Wasi to Morgan perhaps? Or Huth?

Looks good Champ.

current team here

myhill
Terry, Berty,Toby
SAnchez, Silva, Hazard, Eriksen
Aguero, Kane, Austin

Guzan, Mane, PVA, Dawson
2FT, 1.3itb

32 Austin to Remy
33 Berty to Skrtel
34 Eriksen & Mane to Hendo and Couts/Sterling

gets a full team out in 33 and a DGW including Hazard, Terry, Remy, Skrtel, Hendo and Couts/Sterling

Liverpool have QPR H right after the DGW

A if Mourinho reveals more on Costa.

B if not.

Need to ship Austin, Benteke and Kos by GW34

Honestly Acqua-man ... I'd save.

Those 2 FTs will come in very handy prior to the DGW, and a lot can happen in the next GW to shape out thinking. If Henderson were to put 2 past Newcastle he'd be pick of the week next week, whereas I can imagine most people will be lining up Sterling or Coutinho.

A or B. B maybe.

So much uncertainty with A right now, it is the go-to here on paper here, yet I still feel it's a forced move this week. If you could go Murray/Gomis, I'd go for that, though it doesn't look like your team has that luxury right now

I'd save IMO, A I guess if you're very keen on Remy.

reply fail to Acuafresca above

Sell Agbonlahor...

Those guys all have similar potential I feel. I can't really split them.

A, bong should go first IMO.

A sad day. One of the voices of summer for me, growing up. Thanks Richie 🙁

OMG ... didnt realise until just now.

As an Aussie this is the most significant famous passing I've ever experienced ... National Day of Mourning commences right now!!

Ahh that's sad, RIP. I don't follow cricket at all but recognize his face and his voice especially.
A bit like other sports I don't follow, but I'd always know who Peter Aliss is or Ted Lowe or Bill McLaren etc.

yep what a legend he was

Very sad. 🙁

Oh dear..really...what a shame.

Oh no how sad. I loved the way he'd only commentate on free to view TV. What a legend. RIP Richie.

clark to leicester def perhaps

Wow..that's a lot.

OMG
