GAMEWEEK 36 TRANSFER PLANS

When Solly March (£5.3m) pulled up with a hamstring issue after coming off the bench in Monday’s 5-1 defeat to Everton, the first player that came to mind as a possible replacement was his Brighton and Hove Albion teammate Alexis Mac Allister (£5.5m).

Having not owned the World Cup winner at any point this season, going into each Gameweek without him has been an uncomfortable ride due to his significant ownership around my rank and penalty-taking duties. With Brighton having two extra fixtures over most other teams in the league, making the sideways switch makes too much sense for me not to do it.

    2 years, 9 months ago

    DDG
    Trippier - TAA - Zinchenko
    Mitoma - Mac - Salah - Rashford
    Isak - Haaland - Watkins**

    Raya - March - Botman** - Stones

    2 FT

    Looking at:
    A)
    Watkins -> Wilson
    Botman -> Shaw

    Would probably do Salah -> KDB next gw

    Or

    B)
    March -> Mahrez
    Watkins -> Enciso

    And do Salah -> Fernández next gw

  3. Aye
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Who score more this gameweek.

    Watkins, Botman

    Isak, Lindelof -4

    1. gart888
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I think I prefer not taking a hit here.

      1. Aye
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks Gart

    2. Big Mike
      • 3 Years

      Just to Watkins to Isak

      1. Aye

  4. bigbird521
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    What about Gross as a differential to MacAllister?

    1. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Was thinking the same earlier. Gross has quietly notched the points up whilst everyone else was watching emineminem.

    2. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      As a punt, yes, but Mac is likely to score more imo.

  5. gart888
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Bench one:

    A) Estupinan (@arsenal, @newcastle)
    B) Trent (@leicester)
    C) Rashford (vsWolves)
    D) Bruno (vsWolves)

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      D

      1. Aye

  6. Feed tha Sheep

    Best move this week?

    A. Botman March & Watkins > Lindelof MacAlister & Wilson (-4)

    B. Botman & Watkins > Lindelof & Wilson (bench March & play Grealish

    C. March & Watkins > Mahrez & Ferguson

    Kepa (Raya)
    Trippier Trent Botman Estupinan
    Salah Mitoma March Rashford (Grealish)
    Haaland Isak (Watkins)

    1. Aye

    2. iccy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      or March to MacAl and role 1 FT?

      1. Feed tha Sheep
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Don’t have enough

    3. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Tempted with C from those 3

  7. Big Mike
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Is it worth taking a hit to bring in Wilson for Watkins? I already have Isak, plus I can see Villa scoring a few against Spurs.

    1. gart888
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I don't think so. Wilson kind of liable to only get 3 appearance points in total, so he has to return (more times than Watkins) to make the hit worth it.

    2. Aye
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Same boat here. Tempted now to give Watkins another go against this Spurs defence

    3. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Wilson in and capt....

      1. BUZZBOMB ♡
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        ^Yup

  8. jimmy12
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Who to captain between?

    Isak
    Salah
    Mahrez

    ?

    1. gart888
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Has to be Isak, but would wait for team news.

    2. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Isak is my (c) at the moment.

    3. jimmy12
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I know Isak has double but swaying towards Salah

    4. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Armband on Mo currently, top option this week although may opt for Isak if I Bri ghy

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Is it only me or anyone else getting cold feet on Brighton assets?

    Maybe single gw players could be better?

    I've not got united.....rash or bruno worth a look?

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Tbh arsenal aren’t great at the back and Newcastle have kept 1 clean sheet in a dozen (roughly)

      1. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        True....

      2. Ron_Swanson
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        One clean sheet in last 16 games

        1. Ron_Swanson
          • 15 Years

    2. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I'm going to play Shaw over Dunk. I can understand why people would play Estupinan though. He's got some attacking threat.

    3. Cojones of Destiny
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      agree on Bri and yes go for MU assets

    thinking of using 2FT to do;

  14. nerd_is_the_werd

    Conference League is no mickey-mouse cup,
    Spurs should try to qualify and claim some much needed sliverware.

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Conference league is Minnie Mouse

      1. Cheeky Reijnders
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years

    Why are folks so gungho on bringing in McAllister for March (and have Mitoma)?
    BHA are playing Away to ARS and NEW? Then 1 game vs SOU followed by MCI!
    Is it not better to bring in Odegaard or Martinelli who are playing well and have great match ups to end of season?
    Trying to understand the thinking lol.
