FPL Daily: Liverpool win Carabao Cup as Jota and James return

Yes, unless you have 2 FTs

I would not.

The core of the team is solid. I am assuming you bought those players hoping for long term returns and nothing has changed regarding TAA, Robertson, Cancelo, Dawson, Bowen, Ramsey, JWP, Kane, Dennis.

It is scary to play without Salah, so Bruno > Salah will already give you a decent team. You may want to sell Weghorst and Moura but a hit or 2 will solve that.

I'd set it up for a BB29

I have Maddison at the moment, but will more than likely lose him as there are so, so many other DGW options.

won't play all games so when they have a double will be a risky play imo

Basically every prem team is playing a lower league team so I think max is going to be 4 games on for 30. Keep an eye on Southampton - West ham, if west ham wins then Southampton gets their game against Burnley

Roll transfer?

nope

Yes.

No.

See my post on page 1, i'm considering -12 BB. Would go Dubravka who has 2x doubles

What's your full team?

I think that's a fantastic team. I have Son instead of Kane but that's exactly the kind of mix i want, and mostly have now.

I would be more worried about Dennis rather than Foden. Dennis is the only thing i don't like about that squad.

Tough one with such a strong backline.
Could bring in JWP / Willock / Coutinho

So many options so depends which ones tickle your fancy
One of Foden or Bowen down to Ramsay allows for greater flexibility as well

Where's Chelsea?

Maddison, JWP, willock. Depends on your chip strategy and such as well

Depends on your chip startegy. If you’re not Fh30 and need players I’d look at C with Raph

I like C. Do Chelski have a double or yet to be confirmed? I assume FH 30?

Thiago Silva is averaging more ppg and bonus than Rudiger. If you think Robbo sits one of the gw29 doubles then he could go instead of Laporte
B seems sideways and small upside
I like both Willock and JWP but trust the guy on set pieces just a bit more
I own Raph and not sure what to do with him!

Difficult to predict which will give more points. But, my thinking is that Chelsea defenders + City and Liverpool trio will score more points than Wolves/Leeds/Villa over the next 5-6 gameweeks.

If that happens (which may not), then I will end up with more points than other teams loading up with Wolves/Leeds/Villa; while using FH in GW30.

Depends on how many players you already have for gw30.

I'd say if you are unlikely to have at least 7 in your team by 30, then you're better off going with A.

If you can manage to get a good team through 30, then I think it's better to save the wildcard and B is a better option.

If you're quite stocked on gw30 players already, then bringing in one Chelsea player for now and also building for gw30 could be the best way to go.

each team is different but I feel many can navigate GW30 without FH

If it's purely between these options, I think there are more nailed options with the likes of JWP/Willock/Ramsay/Coutinho etc than Chelsea assets who rotate more, cost more and don't exactly score that many. I'm considering one of Thiago Silva/Rudiger and that's about it. Can easily see rotation in that Norwich game 3 days between Burnley and Newcastle, followed by Lille

Yeah. Why not. Enough to get rid and set yourself up for 2x dgw and the blank.
Maybe bb29?

See if you can save the FH for 36 too.

Mount should say returning from injury.

Mount, just for the security of starts.

D.

But very keen to see the results of the midweek cup games. If Southampton or Newcastle get a game moved to 30, then their assets become more desirable

Have you thought of avoiding Chelsea mids? Unlike Manchester City and Liverpool, Chelsea don't score enough for those price tags and there's no talisman who is a magnet for all attacking returns. I guess there's more value in other teams (Son, Salah, City mids, Willock, JWP, Saka, etc.)

In case you really want a Chelsea mid, I would suggest Mount; but I would rather wait a few gameweeks before investing in Chelsea mids.

Mmm. Mount or JWP for me. Probs JWP for nailedness.

Which makes me rethink my own question above…

Mount if Southampton doesn't play in 30. Otherwise JWP

JWP or Coutinho depending on your plans for GW30. Mount may be rested, Raphinha in a free-falling Leeds team.

I think yes. Ramsey should score more than Luiz over the rest of the season, and has higher probability for occasionally coming on for surprise points.

Ramsdale for the two extra fixtures. Super close though.

Sa

Still have him. Might be tempted by Watkins or Ings if they start a few games. GW 30 is why I have Jimenez.
Now that he has had his rest at least he'll start.

yep, i'm

yes, who drops to bench?

Solid move.

Lovely

Difficult. A slightly. Just because I want the better player from the better team.

Salah, Son, Maddison, Coutinho, Saka

Nice FH so far.

Similar team (3 Liv, 2 Ars, Jimmy + Ait-Nouri), bur I only have one FH and did the unthinkable -12 hit because thought the template team was so strong and tried to challenge it. Down from 80k to 109k with only Weggy to go but looking forward to next gWs already

Not WCing. Maybe in 31 after dead ending my team in 30.

You took -12 this week too my friend? How did it go so far?

I don't like FH30 due to the likely limited options

It seems more about putting out an XI than getting a lot of points

I'll explain with this: the best assets on FH30 should be in your team long-term. The other assets will likely be fillers, and that's not good in SGWs. I'd prefer FH33... Or FH32 and skip the City vs Pool game, if you have two left

So, target 9 or 10 for GW30 and build your WC around that with some great assets elsewhere. Maybe get the Vardy + Madders double-up now. Their run continues all season. Maybe TAA Cancelo James Digne Kilman at the back

- WC28 and plan for 29 and generally get a mixture that sees you thought 31 onwards
- FH30 so that you can plan by ignoring it completely but still have the best team possible that week and score maybe 20 - 30 points more than everyone else (most will be on -4 or -8 any way)

Longer term (if I manage to activate WC that is)

A or C

C

Not sure. Maybe A.

Too expensive. I am 3m short of getting this team.

whats the use of such bench?

Too expensive I think. Need a Ramsey or Gordon or sub 5.0 keeper to afford that bench.

Maddison can be JWP, especially if Soton also play in 30.

Just saw where I made the error. Jim, not Vardy

Son has to go to afford Vardy. Maybe by GW30

Latter. Son in 29
