    Why does Rojo keep going off around ~60 minutes?

      It could simply be Rojo getting back to full match fitness, but more likely it's because Van Gaal has a bit of a history of subbing off full backs this season (see Darmian's history for minutes played, he has been subbed off early about 10 times this year)

      Maybe just managing his minutes as he had a pretty nasty injury. With the two fixtures he has in 34, I'll take the risk. Getting Smalling instead means losing Kane

    For those that have played their AOA chip this season, how did it go?

    I played it this week and landed Alli's 6 points instead of Virgil van Dijk's 1 point. I think 5 points is the most I could reasonably hope for, but I'm interested to hear how others faired.

    (Technically I could have scored 10 points more this week if I hadn't played my AOA and had played Bellerín over Agüero, but that was never on the cards.)

        The driving factor for me was not having confidence in 3 of my defenders to keep clean sheets, rather than a desire to play all my sparkly midfielders. I don't know if that made a difference?

    Silly Demichelis and his half-hearted back pass to Hart has mucked up my carefully laid WC 33 plans ... Sorely tempted to WC over the break now. Only downside is that I don't want to show my hand to ML leader who I'm trailing by 70 points. He might just take a couple of -8 point hits to block me

          Hmm correct me if I'm wrong, but i think having value tied up in Toby is only a problem if you plan on bringing him back before the end of season. In such as scenario, you'd have to pay more for him than you sold him for.

          OTOH, If you are just going to sell him and move on, then value tied up shouldn't be a factor, I believe.

    Here's the WC team I would go for if I hit the button now. Comments and criticism welcome !

    Mignolet Robles
    Bellerin Smalling Cresswell Janmaat Simpson*
    Sanchez Ozil Payet Lingard Mahrez*
    Aguero Deeney Kane*

    * indicates players with no double in GW34

    I'd have 2 FTs for GW34 : could use that to ship a couple of my single GWers (or account for injuries in GW32 and 33), and get Lukaku or Firmino/Cout for free

    So is Lovren + Sakho the first choice CB pair for Pool ? Especially after conceding 3 when Skrtel came on today. Choosing Sakho over Mignolet for defensive cover saves 0.2M but more importantly, frees up a GK spot - and lets me get DDG instead of Smalling (saves 0.8M).

    That makes this a 1M pound question !

          Yeah I hate it when the ML leader shuts you down in the last 10 weeks of the season (I used to be that guy in the last two years, but this season has been a trainwreck!) I have a similar situation as you with third place in my ML, the guy started in GW3 and he's ranked 50k now with a ridiculously high team value !

            Personally just see this is an odd season but trying not to look for excuses - I messed up and as abit too stubborn and complacent after a GW8 explosion. Didn't believe in Barkley and Lukaku...and too much faith in Sanchez. Live and learn! Good luck Enzo.

      If you are WCing now, maybe you can do something like a "half-Wildcard" : overhaul defense + GKs completely, fill these spots with DGW 34 players. But in attack, keep some of the players who did well for you (Kane, Mahrez, Vardy, Alli), and take out 2 of them for Liv/Eve players with your 2 FTs just before GW34.

          Yep, that's a sound plan, I'm keeping Kane+Mahrez too. Unsolicited advice here, but a couple of thoughts :

          I would downgrade Fuchs to Simpson/Morgan to save a few quid - you'd still have the Leic clean sheets covered and Simpson/Morgan do match Fuchs for bonus points every other game.

          I would lose Toby. Spurs have kept CS in last two games against bottom half opposition, but with Pool, Utd and Stoke coming up (+che in GW 36) I don't think you need spurs defense.

              @spurs - I can realistically see just 1 CS in the next 5 GWs. They have the firepower to outscore their opponents so I don't think they care as much as Leic about keeping a CS ..

              In terms of replacements, apart from Bellerin and Smalling I think I like the look of Cresswell (couple of good chances in the Chelsea game), maybe Janmaat and Sakho as well

    UFPL question. Sorry if this is obvious but I can't find it in the rules. In a DGW can you substitute a player out and then back in again for their second game later in the week? I assume you'd lose their first set of points but being able to do this may still be useful. Or once you've subbed them is that it for the week?

    A similar question applies to captaincy. Can I captain Player A on Saturday, switch to Player B on Sunday then back to Player A for his second fixture?

      No, once you sub someone out you can't put them back in on a later matchday.

      and captaincy you can't switch to anyone who has already played a game.
