If Bowen was anyone else i'd be pretty confident BB that

Could also be an option to WC now, enabling BB in DGW29 and getting through BGW30?

Wouldn't bench boost.

B but punt on Lukaku ? get Kane in 29 for the double and hold for 30

What are you going to use your Wildcard for then if you BB now?

returning the favor for you. can't see Pope getting more than 3 but i'd probably go for it in your case.

Do you think you are getting more points with (BB - 8) vs FT without hits? If so, then yes, go ahead.

In my opinion, Coutinho and Jimenez, although popular, could be a trap.

I probably wouldn't

A or C for me

B…just

-12 is too many hits IMO
I like vardy and T Silva. But ouch

No for me.

Wouldn't do that. Vardy isn't guaranteed as he comes back from injury and Silva probably won't play both games

You could but could also wait pretty easily.

You've got so much ITB that I think you have the flexibility with FTs and 1 or 2 -4s to get a very respectable BGW30 team out, and also strengthen GW28/29 lineups

I think you should WC.

Will allow you to set team up for next couple of game weeks and also have a team GW 30.

Otherwise a -4 each week will get you 8 players GW30.

You have 3 FTs for 28, 29 and 30... so that will be 7 players. A couple of hits and you will already have 9 players for GW30. If you get in the big hitters, that could be enough but will lead you to a dead end, with many players who you don't for the rest of the season. So, you can use your WC to fix your team for the rest of the season. You can even use your FTs and hits as if you are playing a FH over 3 weeks, and a WC after 31 to get back everyone you lost for navigating these 3 weeks.

If you use your WC now, then you will get a few more players for 30 and DGW players for 28 & 29 but you will be left with a less desirable team for the rest of the season.

If you are following the first strategy (WC in GW31), then here's a possible route:
GW28. DDG > Sa
GW29. Coufal > Tierney
GW30. Salah + Edouard > Kane + Maddison (-4)
You can do any such variation. This is just an example.

I don't think WC is necessary.
My moves would be Coufal to Saïss and Édouard to Jiménez (–4). That gives you 5 DGWers this week by my count, even if two are Watford strikers, and 6 next week.

In DGW29 you can bring in Tierney for Williams, at which point you have 7 for BGW30 and can easily get up to 8-9 with minimal hits

Bednarek/Livra

KWP I would say

Bednarek.

KWP

How about Bernardo to Raphinha, Weghorst to Broja/Adams

I'd use it now or sooner than GW36. For me it's better to plan a few weeks ahead with WC and going in GW36 is just getting some bang for your buck for 3 GWs. Especially with 2 FHs left.

If you think Silva will score 4 more than Cancelo, then yes.

I'm not convinced T Silva starts both, I'd rather Saïss

Jim might be worth it

B depends on whether you are FH30 or not I think.

B, otherwise A

Not a bad shout, but Trent will find out and burn you.

Only player i have never, and will never transfer out of my team. The dude is his own position. Do i like Robbo? Yep. Have them both. Considering taking hits to move Mee for a Rudiger or James.

Robertson.

cheers both

Foster to Dubravka, VVD to Rudiger/James and start him over Digne

Benching Ram and Saka for Watford, and having Silva, Kilman, and Willock going forward may prove disappointing, imo. And benching Virgil?

Sorry, i can't endorse it.

I don't like this team. Too much money at the front. Saka, Ramsdale, VVD on bench! I can foresee lots of hits trying to remove non-performing assets and redistributing money from the forward to other positions in the future weeks.

Too soon for Vardy imo. Downgrade to Jiménez gives you enough money for major upgrades. For instance, VVD becomes Robertson, Kulusevski becomes Raphinha, T. Silva becomes Rüdiger, Kilman becomes Saïss and you've still got more than 1m left over

Yes if you've 2 FT left.

I wouldn't – you won't want some of these players (Maupay, Weghorst, Dalot, Davies) back for GW29 either so this is a chance to clear them out and compensate with DGW hauls.

I'd go Maupay to Jiménez and/or Dalot to Rüdiger

Keep an eye ahead for BGW30 too. I'm not sure of possible blanks though.

Really depends on whether you plan on FH30.

If not, this is a decent draft. I would get Foster over Dubrávka and Raphinha over Mount, and use the extra cash to upgrade Livramento (maybe Saïss)

Wouldn't wildcard, and I'd certainly play Tierney over Laporte with that team. The trouble with Villa assets is that you won't want them after this week.

My move would be Antonio to Jiménez and Laporte to Rüdiger (–4). That's six doubles this week, you can easily make it six next week, and you still have eight available for GW30

Yeah I think you're really only 2-3 moves required to setup you up for the next 5-6 GWs.

Laporte to Chelsea defender, get rid of King and/or Antonio, could upgrade Foden to Son next week.

As tasty as Boro. Spurs form is wildly inconsistent. I got Kane and Kuluveski on WC but won't hold my breath too long.

I don't think they merit the triple up

Nope so far the best WC team I've seen today.

Kilman can also become Livra to attack dgw28

Looks v good actually. Maybe better than mine below......

I just can't get behind triple Wolves. Not for me, Clive.

Kane + Son enough IMO

Don't have the team value for it myself and going for Kane + "home brand Son" aka Kulusevski

Could work, so yay

I would do VVD to Rudi, no hit

Looks good, prefer Cancelo over Robbo as can see some. Rotation. Not a fan of double Villa as they aren't in great form. Arsenal's double is not the best so not sure about the triple up. What do you think of mine below?

Sorry, Son should be Ramsey!

Nice team. Another alternative is Coady to Saiss for greater goal threat. Willock can be another cheaper arsenal later

great team

good point there about ARS triple is too much

While I have Son myself, I wouldn't go crazy in investing in Spurs. Just don't pass the eye test for me. I've drained my forward line of funds to have the midfield and defense i want, and while Kane may burn me, i like a 5-4-1 or 4-5-1 without cash sinks like Kane. Maybe he's gonna 'splode like the Kane of old.

wouldn't lose anyone for Havertz. BB?

Nope very gtg. Benching Son is sick though

That's a great BB for me, absolutely. I hate triple Wolves personally. I would absolutely NOT get Havertz in.

How many hits you taking for this BB team?
I'm looking at -12 currently, unsure if to play it this week or wait til 36
Happy to get rid of the chip before wildcard though

Robbo to Rudi/Silva makes sense, what would you do in 29 when pool play twice

I am thinking of getting Havertz in, good shout IMO.

a

B is never a -8, regardless would never take Cancelo out for a hit.

A

A

Rudiger all day. I’d lean toward him captain over jimi too

Kane and Kuluslevski.
