Planning for Blank Gameweek 28 and chip season

Last time out, I wrote that my team was treading water. Well, not much has changed. I’m still struggling to get inside the top 100k (having been around the 115k mark for the last five weeks).

I’m not going to bore you by going through my team and, in all honesty, I don’t have much to report other than my squad is doing… well… okay.

It seems crazy that we have less than a third of the season to go, with just 11 Gameweeks remaining. It feels like each week is crucial, and it’s not the time to be treading water! So, what are some of the things that might make the difference? I have been pondering…

That third Liverpool slot

Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.7m). Mohamed Salah (£12.8m). Does anyone out there not own these players? Let me rephrase… does anyone out there not own these players and is doing well?

Along with Kevin De Bruyne (£10.8m), these guys are pretty much nailed down in every squad I see on the boards, on Twitter and in my mini leagues.

As people lose patience with players like Jamie Vardy (£9.7m), Anthony Martial (£7.9m) and John Lundstram (£5.0m), who have been so integral to our squads at some point in this season (all still in my own team by the way), no one can doubt the pedigree of Trent and Mo.

However, the third Liverpool spot is pretty contentious. The trouble is, as I see it, that there is a battle between the consistency of points from Liverpool’s defence (10 clean sheets in the last 11) and the potential of huge hauls from the talents of their attackers (11 goals in the last five).

Sadio Mané (£12.2m) has been out, and now he’s back. Roberto Firmino (£9.7m) has been delivering decent returns. You feel like there might be a brace or a hattrick for these players. However, the likes of Virgil Van Dijk (£6.5m), Andrew Robertson (£7.0m), and even Joe Gomez (£5.3m) are quietly racking up the points.

I see more and more people flocking to Firmino, but I actually feel like he may be the weakest player of all the above. Two double-digit returns mask five blanks in the last eight Gameweeks. His stats continue to be fantastic but are matched by the likes of Raúl Jiménez (£7.7m) or even Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.1m). The Brazilian’s quite erratic form is a problem when we have strikers playing well and delivering points.

Midfield and defence is a different proposition though. As I look through the lists of players, it’s very hard to pick any that really stand out to me in these positions. To me, this tells me that prioritising Liverpool players is the way to go, to ensure the best quality players from a small pond.

Mané is an unbelievable player, and will no doubt deliver for his owners from now until the end of the season. But he also costs over 12 million. I can get Robertson for nearly half that, or Van Dijk too. If they both carry on at their current rate, either of these options will smash 200 points for the season (and don’t forget Robertson has done this before). An unbelievable return.

If one of Salah or Mane are going to be your “go-to” captain option, is spending nearly a quarter of your budget on two players really the best play? I’m thinking not… double defence it is!

Blank Gameweeks

Ah, the Blank Gameweeks are approaching. The type of Gameweek which inevitably leads to Saturday morning texts from your friends being like “WHY ARE HALF MY TEAM NOT PLAYING?”. Noobs, the lot of them (although some of them are beating me, which really hurts…).

Some real basic advice for anyone reading… grab a bit of paper. Write down who in your squad has got a match in Blank Gameweek 28. If you notice you’ve got less than 11 active players, well, you need to be bringing in at least one more with a game that weekend.

I am always amazed by how many this catches out. We can expect hits as people freak out that they are only fielding seven or eight players, particularly as teams such as Manchester City, Sheffield United, Arsenal and Grealish FC also feature highly-owned players who will be missing out.

Quite simply, your bench is needed to cover these guys, and it’s a good opportunity to strengthen your squad.

Some cheap options to cover you in this blank could be the likes of Aaron Mooy (£4.8m) who plays a struggling Crystal Palace side at home, or the wonderful to watch Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.4m), who faces Burnley.

Leicester also have a fantastic fixture against Norwich, so this might be a great excuse to get midfield options like Ayoze Perez (£6.2m) and Harvey Barnes (£6.0m).

What I love about the Blank Gameweek is that it gives you the excuse to go for players that you might not normally consider – because, well, what’s the harm? There’s no danger of a blanking player outscoring them! And, if you are thrifty, you can always Wildcard them out, presuming you still have this chip of course – which brings me on to my next topic.

The chips

Mane, Abraham and Vardy injury updates ahead of FA Cup fourth round weekend

Frankly, I am astounded that I’ve seen Bench Boosts and Wildcards being used at this stage by some veteran players. What on earth is going on? Everyone knows it is sacrilege to use your chips in a single Gameweek! Have people forgotten how to be sheep?!

I am of course being a bit facetious here (as I used my Triple Captain in a single Gameweek), but I do fear for those who are using this chips this early, for what looks to me, an excuse to bring in one player (the now-injured Son Heung-min (£10.0m)) or to help correct a spiralling season. We all know that Double Gameweeks are on the horizon and the chips… well, they are pretty much tailor-made for use during them.

I was burned earlier in the season with my decision to Triple Captain Vardy in a single Gameweek. While I know those who went with Mané are probably still reeling from their three points, hauls for Salah, Robertson, Trent… all go to show that a great chance of getting captain returns comes from when your player plays twice.

You’re simply putting yourself in the best possible position to get returns and, crucially, we don’t know what the Double Gameweeks are going to look like yet!

Using chips at this stage feels like you are going into the crucial part of the season under-armed and under-prepared. If your team is serviceable, or you can get a decent squad with just a few transfers, then my advice is to wait.

Wait until we have the information about who is playing, when they are playing and who they are playing.

Leave it as long as possible to gather as much information as you can before making the call. This puts you in the best position possible to maximise the chips that can completely transform your season.

The Wildcard, in particular, is always tempting, but your team might not be in the mess that you think it is. As I mentioned before, at the moment, the pool of players that we should be considering is pretty small, and so it’s likely that you already own decent players who aren’t as bad as you think they are. You may be Wildcarding for equally small fish, flopping round in an even smaller pond. Perhaps, in a few weeks, we’ll have bigger fish to catch and fry. And with that anecdote, I’m off for dinner. Any guesses what I’m having?

    2. OldBenKenobi

      Lundstram is an easy transfer out for me. Might even get change to upgrade Hayden?

    3. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years

      Wouldn't burn a transfer. Just remove Lundstram imo

      Why not wait for DGW?

      1. FOO FIGHTER

        Too late now...

        1. OldBenKenobi
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Not too late but with no WC the planning would be a pain. It’s likely to disappoint anyway with rotation towards the end of the season anyway

      2. OldBenKenobi
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        No WC and don’t fancy planning transfers leading up to it only to be disappointed (and prob rotation).

        Fancy using my FH to get the best starting 11 possible for the double instead.

        1. The Polymath
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          That makes sense

  4. Thunder Warrior

    Son and Aurier to Mane and Saiss for a hit?

    1. Moose™

      Saiss nailed?

    1. aborg

      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm just worried about your forwards.

      If Kun plays most of the game tonight he will probably not play much in GW27 due to the CL game a few days after that.
      Deeney is in form but Watford fixtures are awful in the next 4 - 5 GW's !

      1. Moose™
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Just brought Kun in last 2 weeks. Deeney last 3 weeks.

        How about Grealish and Deeney swap to Traore and Ings. Much better?

        1. aborg
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yes, that swap is actually very good 🙂

          I have Kun too and brought him in on my WC to try and make a difference in my ML. Not sure if i'll swap him for Jimenez next GW or not. It all depends on how much mins Kun gets tonight and how well he plays.

          1. Moose™
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Hopefully there will be Agueroooooo tonite!

            Aguero© here. He could single handedly save my gameweek, or it is a disastah!

            1. aborg
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Hehe, same here..my captain too, and only one to save my GW and start my ML rebound. Need to catch up 100 points to my 3 rivals.

  6. OldBenKenobi
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    “Gun to head”

    A) Martial
    B) Fernandes

    1. Thunder Warrior
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Tony Gloves

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Solely on him being OOP?

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Solely on him potentially being a better FPL asset than Fernandes

          Bruno has looked decent in the 180 minutes I've watched him play so far though, and has some set piece involvement and an amazing penalty record in Portugal so it's by no means a slam dunk

          And Tony Gloves is one of the most frustrating FPL players out there

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Martial

    4. balint84
      • 7 Years

      would choose B) if chasing

    5. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Fernandes for me

    6. OldBenKenobi

  7. aborg
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Today's City game means so much for my FPL season, especially my cash Mini-League (not so mini as over 80 managers) 🙂

    Basically I am over 100 points from the top ten managers and decided to play WC early to start making a difference but if Aguero(c) tonight does not give me a decent return, I can quit the ML and just play for the GW prizes.

    Already some of my ML differentials have not paid off and am more points behind in this GW, so please AGUEROOOOO, you my only hope to start my rebound !

    For some consolation, anyone in my similar scenario?

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      100 points in nothing, FFS members are 5 times more likely to make up such a large points deficit then other players.

      I'm pretty sure it's about 5 times but don't forget, 72.4% of all statistics are made up.

      1. aborg
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe you are right but the managers i'm dealing with in this ML are top class in my country. Five of them are in the top twenty in my country !!
        Dealing with a 1k prize pot here.

    2. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Very similar situation here. Really need Aguero to haul tonight.

      1. aborg
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Let's cross our fingers then. What will you be doing with him for next GW?

        For me I might swap him for Jimenez next GW but it all depends on tonight really...his form and minutes. Problem is I have KDB too and need to see who to swap out for BGW and then the risk of losing for their potential DGW !! what a mess 🙂

    3. The Knights Template

      Yes, I'm playing Noble.

      I am first in my mini league, and played my WC to push for 50K. after the match canceled everybody in my ML just laughed at me so I really want KUN to smash it tonight and brag them all night long

      1. aborg
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        That’s great that you are in this position !
        Good luck for your 50k aim. What position are you currently in OR?
        Also what will you be doing with Aguero after tonight or are you seeing what Kun does and how many mins he plays before deciding?
        I might swap him for Jimi but not sure about the BGW and DGW mess as I also have KDB!

        1. Captain Kakaroto (I blame R…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years

          For now I am on 190k , started gw around 150k.
          I will monitor him tonight but with lecister problems at the CDM position I can see them struggling so if I think KUN gonna play at the weekend I think I am saving for now.

          Jimmy is good replacement although monitor tonight to get more indication

        Yeah, thanks. Kun and Fleck out for Son + DCL was my first idea.

        These transfers are very important for my GW28 so likely usetwo and take Kun out. Might consider Tammy or Wood instead of DCL. Might punt on Fernandez as I'm chasing in ML.

      Ryan to Ederson good shout. But, you have no GK for GW28 then?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        God I am stupid right. I'll hold off on that move for now

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Prob B.

      1. Klip Klopp

        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        any other suggestions bro?

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Kelly to Boly and you're set for both blanks.

          1. Fulchester's New Centr…
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Forgot Dendo.

            1. Klip Klopp
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah I have Dendo, who I might as well play in the blanks right?

            2. Fulchester's New Centr…
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Kelly to Taylor? Or Tarko if feeling frisky.

    3. Dr Mulholland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Waking nightmare with your current bench! Sorry.

      Perhaps B to Stephens
      or save and do two changes next week.

      1. Klip Klopp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        my bench is awful right!?!

        1. Dr Mulholland
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Could be worse.

          Can you afford:
          Dendoncker to Barnes
          + Kelly to Boly?

    Is anyone tripling up on wolves? I've been waiting a few GWs to do Aguero>Jimi, now feel the need to do Ritchie>Boly. I thought Ritchie was nailed. Already have Traore

    1. Where dahoud at
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Iv doubled up went traore and jimenez

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Boly, Traore, Jimi new template.

    3. Crystal Alice
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Basically would you do
      A Aguero > Jimi
      B Ritchie > Boly
      C both

    4. Dr Mulholland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I've been tripled for most of the season.

    5. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Triple up is too much IMO

  17. Where dahoud at
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Thank my wildcard is finally sorted, what do people thank?

    Ddg
    Robertson's, awb, taa
    Kdb, traore, mane, Fernandes
    Abraham, Jimenez, ings

    Bench, Elliot, Stephen's, lundstram, cantwell

    1. pjanns
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Too much United in my opinion.

      Triple up on those? - Don't play this game with your feelings 😀

      Wouldn't touch Abraham either. Rather DCL or Vardy

  18. JelliedSpark968
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Very confused on what to do, 2FT and 0ITB

    Henderson (Dubravka)

    1. JelliedSpark968
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      misclick, sorry

  19. That Fantasy Guy
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I did Son + Martenelli to Zaha + Jimenez. Zaha being my absolute flyer over the next few fixtures. Hopefully he finds the form!

  20. leonickroberts
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Looks like I'll be going into the blank GW with the following. 0.1 itb and 1 ft.

    No keeper
    Robbo & TAA (wat), Bertrand & Stephens (whu), Soy (nor)
    Salah (wat) Cantwell (LEI) Perez (nor)
    Jimi (tot) Ings (whu)

    (not playing: Hendo, KdB, Auba, McGovern)

    Is this catastrophically bad, and if so, what can be done about it?

    1. golfboy
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Just change your keeper to one that plays? Rest is ok

      1. leonickroberts
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Will do, cheers.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      take a hit and get your cash on the pitch

      1. leonickroberts
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        -4 to get 0.1 on the pitch hardly seems worth it...

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          sell Auba and/or KDB to get their value on the pitch

  21. golfboy
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hi chaps... quick bit of advice please... play one of:

    A) Maddison (MCI)
    B) Cantwell (wol)
    C) Aurier (che)

    Would normally go with the Home fixture so leaning towards A . But MCI and average form.

    1. RESULT

      Toss a coin. I just prefer Cantwell only because Wolves slow starters and Norwich played well against Liverpool

    2. Dr Mulholland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Cantwell for me.

      Thanks guys.

    Good Morning

    TAA Robo Salah current 3

    McCarthy Henderson
    TAA Rob Stephens Lascelles Baldock

  23. JelliedSpark968

    Confused on what to do, 2FT and 0ITB

    Henderson (Dubravka)
    TAA, Stevens, Gomez (Fernandez, Williams)
    Salah, KdB, Grealish, Traore (Mooy)
    Aguero, Jimenez, Ings

    Do I get Mane for Grealish, then Aguero down to someone like DCL or even Nketiah (fodder)?

  24. Fantasy Pig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hi guys which option?

    A. Son + Robertson > Mane + Boly (-4)
    B. Son > Alli
    C. Son > Bruno Fernandes
    D. Son > Other (who?)

    Team is:

    Henderson (Pope)
    TAA Robertson Williams (Lundstram Rico)
    Salah KDB Son* Martial (Dendoncker)
    Vardy Jiménez Ings

    Thanks!

    1. Aubaaaaa
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hmm tough one as I need to make the decision myself too. Would think B. But C if you decide to ditch Martial. 2 united mids is too many I feel.

      1. Fantasy Pig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah really bad timing this Son injury... I still have my WC so can always activate it if a short term punt like Fernandes/Alli doesn’t work. Fernandes would mean a United midfield double up short term. Will look to City/Arsenal assets post GW28.

  25. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Triple Pool, Triple LEI and Triple Wolves not a bad shout for remainder of the season?

    1. golfboy
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      3 baskets, lots of eggs

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Beautiful fixtures.

        1. golfboy
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Let's see a team

            • 4 Years

            Just a suggestion

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No doubles

    3. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Triple pool, but double LEI and WOL

  26. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    So Mane didn’t get injured last night?

    1. golfboy
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No. Yellow card precaution

  27. farmerfat
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I have had such bad luck owning Aguero this year, he has been benched every time I have captained him.
    Hoping tonight is different .

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years

      Oh oh...

  28. quayle99
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    2FT
    Henderson > McCarthy (prep for 28)

    McCarthy
    VVD Trent O'Connell
    KDB Salah(c) Grealish Traore
    Ings Auba Jimi
    Button, Fleck, Lascelles, Stephens

    Then 2FT next week
    Auba + Grealish > Vardy, Perez. (v Norwich)
    Would have 11 players GW28:

    McCarthy
    VVD Trent Stephens Lascelles
    Salah(c) Perez Traore
    Ings Vardy Jimi
    Button, KDB, Fleck, O'Connell

    Then Vardy back to Auba after 28?

    Sound gooooood?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Button to McCarthy to allow for options and holding Henderson as a DGW keeper in the future ?

      1. quayle99
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        No funds for that

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Down grade Fleck this week ? Looks like he is on your bench anyway

      2. quayle99
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I mean I could but after Auba > Vardy would leave 0.1 in bank and I'm worried about Aubas value rising while he's out

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          it’s tricky with so many blankers ...
