      Wondering if 30 might not be better possibly especially if you have no FH for 29. Leeds and Villa held for 29 get you SHU and Fulham in home games.

      From the way the two players have their bodies angled, I can imagine that from the sidelines it doesn't look like a close call at all. Bamford looks to me a metre offside (as long as the linesman is clear as to when the ball is played). And he was offside, even if just by a couple of inches.

        Very difficult to know these days in how it’s being called ie how is the assistant deciding on offside , same as previously but wait until after the move finishes? The angles are insane when you look back how can you tell if that’s on or off even with the lines. Would love the implementation of a Hawkeye cricket technology or the goal line technology would be more acceptable.

      26 seems better.
      Firstly because it’s now so the fixtures are guaranteed vs what happens in 30 is not. Ie what you think is the bench could be starting
      Also fixtures seem similar. Leeds always attack and villa haven’t been great defensively lately

        Not sure I'd equate Villa and SHU defences.

        Agreed on uncertainty over X1 for 30 - the pre planned changes might not happen etc. Still prefer 30 in principle I think as I'm almost certain to be heavy on Leeds and Villa at that stage and Fulham and SHU at home are great fixtures for players who are bench candidates.

    So Bamford getting a 2 game suspension makes Sterling, Bamford to Gundogan, Kane for -4 a easy move?

      Given the fixtures, and playing GW29, looks to be one of the few regular starters in the spurs defence. Unless proved otherwise then will probably go with him over Konsa (can't afford anything more expensive)

    I see many people wild carding even though they have the template

    Martinez
    Dias cancelo xx
    Salah Bruno son gundo
    Dcl Watkins bamford

    That’s 9 dgw in the template meaning people likely have 8-11 already

    Don’t see the benefit of wild carding if you have a similar set up. Yes you may be able to include Kane but it’s costing you the most powerful chip and that front 7 is more than capable of matching Kane

      Yeah, I think WC now doesn't make sense either especially if you're already rocking 8-9 DGW players (which most people are). Would prefer waiting for 30/31. I myself WCed in 25 in preparation for BB 26.

      My first FT is to either ship Dallas or Coufal. Leaning towards to latter. You also have Soucek you might want to get rid off.

        Of you're happy Davies plays twice, then I'd go for bench boost. TC is so overrated
