      The more I'm thinking about it the more of a risk he is imo... to start both matches in GW28 that is...

        First and foremost he needs to start, secondly he needs to perform well, and thirdly NOR and BUR need to crumble ... they are in a relegation battle ...

      I’m hoping he’ll start both, get enough mins to run havoc then get taken off after 60 mins securing CS points. Rudi has security of starts but added risk of getting CS wiped in 80th min.

    I've gone w double CHE defense w Rudiger and Thiago Silva.

    I just cannot trust Tuchel giving RJames 2 starts after a hammy injury. I reckon it's too much of a risk w the champions league resuming soon. Im thinking James will start 1 and play a 15 minutes cameo in the other w either Azpi or CHO starting...

    I'm guessing Thiago and Rudi will both play 180 minutes, that's why I've gone with the pair.

    Your thoughts?

      I think it's a good call and agree, I really wanted Silva this week but in the end I felt it probably wasn't best for my team and the next few weeks. Just have to hope they keep those two clean sheets which honestly I'm not as sure of as everyone else but it's still more likely than not

      I think the way the gameweek is broken up is kind of misleading. Its the Norwich & Newcastle games that are closest together & he will almost certainly be benched in one of them. 5 days between Bur-Nor makes 2 starts in GW28 plausible

    I see many are asking if they should bench TAA and or Cancelo. Both these players had double digit hauls in the corresponding fixture away from home. Absolute madness to bench either IMO. Especially for players who are playing for very average teams regardless of DGW. City and Pool 2 best teams in league by a distance and TAA, Cancelo 2 of their most consistent players.

      Definitely think there'll be a huge amount of variation this week for sure, lot of people going in different ways, lots of chips being used, lots of differing opinions regarding captaincy. My punts could go drastically bad especially as both are doubts but I felt like taking a chance this week, going safe isn't a bad idea at all either, guess it all depends on circumstances

      Check out fpl.team and see what you team will look like over the next 3/4 weeks. Both FH and WC are good options but it depends on the next opportunities to FH or what players you will get in your WC. My strategy is to WC this gameweek, and bring players that will cover all the doubles and blank gameweeks up to GW30. Then I will like FH and BB in GW33 & GW36.

      There's no point having Bednareck if you're not going to play him this week. I'd suggest getting a Spurs defender (Dier, Davies) who will double next week and also play in gw30 as alternatives.

      Otherwise a very good team.
