On WC, would you go If you already have Saiss and Jimenez.
A) Jota (3-4-3)
B) Doherty (4-4-2)

Looking to roll the transfer to GW32+. I would have liked to have transferred Ings to Rashford but 0.1 short.

Anything pressing that needs to be done?

1.8itb 1ft - WC and BB left
Pope
TAA Lascelles Saiss
Salah Mane KDB Fernandes
DCL Ings Jota
(Ryan Traore Stephens Williams)

No WC. Used BB for GW30+. No chips left

Henderson (Nyland)
TAA Doc Saiss (Lund Egan)
Mane KDB Son Bruno Mahrez
Jimenez DCL (Nketiah)

0.3M ITB

Nyland comes in for the game Henderson will miss. The plan is to switch Mahrez to Martial this GW, then Egan to Wan-B next GW. Thoughts?

It has been a bitter disappointment for me how the change of rules have panned out. Using my WC on the last day before Covid was a sensible calculation for going forward. When multiple transfers were introduced, it negated my WC totally. I am more than likely to lose my mini league due to this.
I know there are many others like me who must take it on the chin and move forward, but the only reason I can think of FPL towers making such a decision was to keep the level of interest up in the game. I have no problem dealing with the rough and the smoothe but when there is no fair logical reason for doing so it irks me somewhat.

anyone else plan on WC week after?
The BB team this week still have decent fixture except for a SHU defender which can be sorted out easily with a FT

So I've had a bit of a look at things for those wildcarding this week. I have looked at Fixtures, Motivation, Team (Quality), Squad Size.

Fixtures - based on independent season ticker.
Team - based on league table.
Motivation & Squad Size - my opinion.

I've got 4 categories of teams that have came out (ordered best to worst based on all 4 factors);

Priorities
Good teams, good fixtures and a lot to play for. You want to build your team around these.
MUN
ARS
SPU
WOL
CHE

Scrappers
A lot to play for, small squad size. Maybe one or two talismans from these guys or bench warmers.
BHA
WAT
WHU
BOU
AVL

The Giants
Exceptional quality but not much else. MCY above LIV due to fixtures. Maybe look to stalwarts in these teams Ederson, VVD etc. Or punt on someone, Foden, Minamino.
MCY
LIV

The Wildcards
Good fixtures, decent teams and small squads but not a lot to play for. ATT if you're feeling punty or look well placed for a GK/DEF slot.
BUR
NEW

Best set and forget Keeper for the run in?

If I’d captained KDB I’d be 662nd now. Damn.

Here's my current w/c draft - would be interested in any comments (squad value 106.5, 0.3 ITB)

Patricio, (Martin)
TAA, Doherty, Wan-Bissaka, Justin, (Jack Robinson)
Salah, KDB, Son, Fernandes, Sarr
Rashford, Jiminez, (Nketiah)

3-5-2 or 4-4-2 dependent upon fixtures

Probably save my FH to 38+

Is that Jack Robinson at 4.0 nailed with O'Connell out?

Here we go with the WC team:

Patricio, Nyland
Alonso, Doherty, Digne, Maguire, PVA
KDB, Son, Bruno, Richarlison, Sarr
Rashford, Jimenez, Nketiah

Captain Son (WHU), Jimenez (avl) and KDB the rest of the games.
I like having a strong bench and the defence will rotate depending on the fixtures.
I'm assuming Liverpool will rotate more so their players may not be as crucial for the end of the season.

Any opinions on this team?

Irrelevant for FPL decisions, but what would you do if you were Arteta for the trip to Brighton on Saturday. Would be great to try and get Saka and Martinelli partnered back up, while keeping Tierney in the lineup. Perhaps a midfield diamond with Ceballos and Ozil adding much needed creativity in the middle. Doubts are Sokratis, Torreira and Ozil.

Leno
Holding Sokratis
Bellerin Torreira Tierney
Ceballos Ozil Saka
Aubameyang Martinelli

Or it probably makes sense to continue to drill the system in with a 4231 and keep rotating. The squad is fairly deep tbf, just lacking quality in defence.

Leno
Bellerin Holding Sokratis Tierney
AMN Torreira
Pepe Ozil Martinelli
Lacazette

Can't seem to fit TAA in on a wildcard. Too risky to go without?

Gomez at 5.3 an option to at least cover any CS?

So many tasty captaincy options for GW31+ already:

Vardy (BRI)
Jimenez (BOU)
Kane, Son (WHU)
Rashy, Bruno (SHU without Henderson)
Salah, Mane (CPL)
Auba, Pepe (sou)
DCL, Rich (nor)

On WC:

A. Pope Barnes Nketiah
B. Ramsdale Cantwell DCL
A leaves .3 to play with.

Guys - I forgot to save my BB this game week.

Any advice for me ? When should I use it ? Team for context as below

Leno Henderson
Egan Lundstram Doherty Soyuncu Lascelles
Sterling KDB Bruno Grealish Cantwell
Nketiah Aguero Aubameyang.

For wildcard team

A/ Boly and Jack Robinson

B/ Saiss and Holgate/Cathcart

Anyone with a lower TV than 100.4 😆

Going to gave to go 4-4-2 now

1. TAA and jota
2. VVD and jimenez. ??

Ok, small rejig at the back to get Doherty.
How’s it look? Alternatively I go with Maguire/AWB and a stronger bench/keeper? What do people think?

McCathy (3.9m)
TAA Doherty Fernandez (Cathcart Robinson)
Mané Son KDB Sarr Fernandes
Jimenez Rashford (Nketiah)

re-post
would you BB this team Y/N

Pope/McC
TAA, AWB, Doh, Williams, Tanga*
Salah, KDB, Bruno, Barnes, Cantwell
DCL, AUB, Jota

thx

Is Holden nailed ?

First WC draft. Looking any good?.

Pope Woodman
TAA Doherty Cathcart Taylor Lascelles
Salah KDB Son Fernandes Cantwell
Rashford Jimenez Connolly

0.1 ITB

Predicted line up vs Burnley

--------Bernardo----Aguero----Mahrez

----------------Kdb----Foden
------------------Fern--------
Sane to come on as a sub early in 2nd half

Phil Foden or Cantwell for WC?

Who’s this Simpson fella for B’mouth at 3.9? Any gametime likely?

Of course there’s a lot of football to be played so things can change quickly but how does this FH team look? 0ITB

Dubravka
TAA Doherty Holgate
Mane Son(C) Fernandes Richarlison
Kane Vardy DCL

People who still have FH left, when are you looking to use it? GW34 looks like a good time maybe looking at the fixtures

Hi guys, on FH - no chips left. Which do you prefer please? Suggestions greatly appreciated...

A) VVD, Kane (433) (Cantwell, Saka)
B) Mane, DCL (343) (Guendouzi, Simpson)

Rest of Team:

Pope
TAA, Aurier, Doherty, ?
Salah, Son, Fernandes, ?
Vardy, Jota, ?

(Button, Lascelles, ?, ?)

Cheers!

Whats the deal with auba now

Likely to start vs brighton? Arteta shd have taken him off after 2-0 there was no hope
