      LV and TOT swing of fixture BGW28 has impacted many teams (one of the factors obviously)

      Yes, it’s a shame as team wasn’t bad but need Brentford and Brighton plus offload a couple of Liverpool ahead of the blank and tough fixtures

      Didn't see the point of taking hits to target some prime doubles/navigate a blank. Leaves me exposed to hits later in season but feel like I'm trading assured hits for possible ones

      don't forget IB coming between now & GW29 is it worth holding - my original concerns with GW28 BGW but after mid-week results / defeats & more to choose from might hold for at least another GW as thinking longer term to GW31/GW32/GW34

      Is not wildcarding next week pretty much as good or better (it's ahead of the blank, its ahead of the double)?

      Plus we'll have more info on injuries etc by then.

      Going with Sanchez allows you to save a transfer in 28 and you can go Maddison instead of a second Brighton midfielder. From 26-28 Maddison and March/Mitoma have three fixtures, so you don't lose anything but you save a transfer in 28 beecause you can bench Sanchez instead of an outfield player, aaand you save a transfer in 29 where you will probably want Maddison anyway. Plus, Brighton double is much better in 29 from a defensive point of view.

    Ward Nketiah Botman Bueno

    0.2m itb and 1ft

    Tempted by WC but not sure it's essential yet?
    All bonus chips remaining...

    Keep as it is and roll, GTG?
    Nketiah to Ings for punt, if not!

    Any advice appreciated, cheers

      GTG the WC bandwagon is a red herring……

      Touch call as I think you could be GTG using just FTs. However, that being said, if I had your team (which I almost had), I would want transfer out Ward; Tark; Bueno; Salah; Mahrez and Nketiah. So to me, that would warrant a WC.

    Last call, who to start?

    a) Mahrez
    b) Mitoma

      Mitoma. Most of the predicted lineups don't have Mahrez starting.

    I hate it when City kick off at 12.30. Having to be glued to twitter up until 11 just in case there is news that Haaland is benched and then the subsequent crashing FPL website when trying to change it.

      I feel like being glued to Twitter for City leaks is a step I'm pleased I can avoid. I'll take my choice and live with it. Better than scrambling with collapsed websites
