What the FA Cup fifth round results will mean for the Blank Gameweek 31 picture

I’d probably push the button on that one

Definitely. Can’t see Auba not rising or Vardy not falling

Fixtures alone, Jimmy, Jota, Auba

Only gate crasher would be Party if he stats firing?

Auba, DCL, Jota.

I'd consider a Pukki punt though 😉

Jimi, DCL and Jota

No way

Not a fan of a -8, especially to get rid of some perfectly good (albeit not perfect) assets that should probably play.

What about Ings to DCL only?

I’d also need to do it before Firmino drops- which looks like it’ll be tonight

I'm in the same situation, although I have to do the transfer for a hit. Sooo unsure what to do, since GW 31 is just around the corner.

I didn’t bring Auba in 3 weeks ago simply cos Vardy had a game in 28 and Auba didn’t

Feel free to learn from my cataclysmic error

One more strategy to add to the mix: I’m going to wing it.

Hoping for Liverpool to lose and fielding an 11 with FTs

Seems a lot are looking to get through it with FTs, but probably dependent on how these cup games go. Very unlikely I will do anything other than FH, team just isn't suited to anything else.

Really don’t want to FH 31 as the fixtures will be pants. But the amount of surgery required to transfer for and then after means People will have to out of necessity. Particularly those already burning their WC...like me. It would of been nice to have this dgw 29 for city. If Liverpool lose it might be a case of going in with 8-9 players and fh the first dgw. I’d much prefer the gains you could make with that strategy.

Dont fancy ripping my team apart for a blank gw. Ill be using fh

Are you really a Mrs? 🙂

This

3 Burnley and 3 Watford players. Can’t wait...

Would not ditch Ings, but I do think Traoré out is a move to make. I've no midfielders on my radar currently. Have Jorgihno suspended for 2, but might hold him still as he's a penalty taker. Maybe ship him out for bench fodder? Bank for when you need a BIG spend?

Did that move last night.

Sure, why not.

Thinking the same

Also have Traoré stuck on the bench for now…

Oh no 🙁

Just saw that, funfun

Actually posted last page, won't take the credit.

Posted on the previous page.

What will it mean if the game is played the 11th?

Believe it when it’s announced. I hope so though.

If this is true what do you reckon to KDB,mahrez,Jesus as a slight differential 3? I could manage Vardy to a Jesus on a free

Both firing, usually one scores the other assists?

Not having KdB looks like quite a glaring issue with City getting a potential DGW 29 and BUR after that.

Check on Grindr

Tierney on his way back, so it's uncertain if Saka will be in the starting eleven (I think).

That being said, they should find a spot for Saka in that team somehow; he's one of Arsenal's few in-form players.

Ings to Jota?

Leave enough cash for trapore > Sarr?

A

J & S

KDB all the way.

Not a fair comparison

Any spare funds?

With the uncertainty with Nketiah's playing time (played in the cup tonight), I'd go with 1 or 2. Tierney is back soon though, so it remains to see if that will have an impact on Saka's playing time.

The move might be triple up on city and captain Liverpool. KDB,mahrez and Jesus for Vardy I’m looking at if it goes ahead.

Prefer Auba.

Will we know enough by the end of the week?
Similar situation from the sounds of it

Aguero, Mahrez, Sterling, Ederson, Pepe, Bellerin, Leno. Maybe... I’d be scared not having many DGW players. Aguero ruined my life last season.

I don't think they're similar at all. Last year it was BGW31/DGW32/BGW33/DGW35, very closely spaced together. This year it's more like BGW28/BGW31/DGW34/DGW37, spaced farther apart with most of the blanks over before the biggest doubles. It seems like that could lend itself to a very different chip strategy. Last year would have been extremely hard to navigate without WC; this year not so much.

Although even so, Sam Bonfield has claimed that last year people who played January wildcards did better than people who saved it until late. I would have thought she has written an article about it, but only remember hearing it on podcasts and not seeing that article.
