I swear I see this question every day

Yeah you lose a bit of edge when there are so many blanks and doubles, as everyone's teams converge towards the same players.

In years gone by, serious players could gain from the casual not planning for the B/DGWs, but there's so much content now, those advantages are almost gone.

Yup, all integrity and edge in the game is now forever lost, not enjoyable at all

I've enjoyed it since the restart. Some of the fun has been with differentials and not copying content creator strategies or picks.

Not boring but frustrating. Fpl should do better imo. Auto sub is crap, what’s wrong with manual sub. Not to talk of VAR, Fpl‘s mysterious assists & bonus points. I’ve got to the point where I just don’t pay too much attention to the game compared to other fantasy football games I play.

I mean, why pick 15 players if we can’t make full use of it. Who cares if other managers are too busy to make subs themselves. So many managers play this game now & it will keep on increasing, about time they try to make things different apart from chips.

I'm giving it a rest next year and then reassess

Lateriser had some stunning success and did just that

I'll probably pop in just to see what obscure decisions folks are pondering. Imagine waking up from a coma just as the Almiron bagonwheel was in full swing

Haaland being obvious C most weeks and extremely bad luck combined with some poor decisions because of having had "life" has made this season my worst ever. When everyone is spoonfed, team value has been inflated and so on, I am waiting for next season. However, I fear that pricing is going to be a problem again and creating too good team from best teams is going to be far too easy.

The boring thing is this question.

If the game was so predictable, you'd be top of the world.

There's a template but as always, it only gets you to top 100k- the rest is on luck and skill.

Was looking for C.

B and bench Grealish

I’d like Ode back but B there

I like B but not sure who to bench... myself in a similar position. Guess Grealish won't start?

Ode

Kane or Saka

The back four picks itself with perhaps only Targett being an option to replace Burn at left back. If Longstaff is out, then the midfield three picks itself as well. The rotation will primarily come in the wide areas, where Howe uses subs every game anyway.

In terms of striker, Isak looks like first choice with Wilson coming off the bench. Wilson could start against Brighton or Leicester. The latter might suit him more.

A

Isak, the young one

I think consensus is Isak

Isak has been first choice since they've both come back from injury. Before Arsenal, Wilson had only started the midweek games against West Ham and Everton. Isak could in theory start both GW36 games and Wilson start in GW37, or they might get one start each in GW37.

I'd probably wait with getting Bruno before next GW

You’d want him next week so I wouldn’t sell Estu

Rather than burn a transfer, maybe upgrade Toti to a United defender in preparation for next week?

Many are, myself included, pretty much definitely doing it

I'd be interested if it wasn't for two defensive Newcastle players I already have. But triple Newcastle seems essential this week

Tempted, but it would mean using a FT and benching Mahrez. Happy to just have Isak. If there is a reliable leak suggesting Wilson starts against Leeds then I might do a panic FT.

1st ive seen it mentioned tbh

Looks well worth a roll of the dice

I have Botman and Greenwood so the surgery would be probably more damaging than the upside

I would definitely be doing it if I didn't have Greenwood. I would do it for a -4 if I could but have Ake and March to worry about.

A lot of uncertainty regarding the extent of KDB's involvement against Everton. I'm experiencing some FOMO in the case he starts.

They are only 1 point ahead. Why wouldn't he play? Arsenal returning to form and any slip up could be costly.

As aggressive as Granit Xhaka

Yes ofc, and just do Isak first imo and get progressively more radical/desperate later on if necessary.

Mason has got a system that works better defensively by all accounts, but I'm playing him and he's back to differential status as everyone is shipping.

I was keeping mainly for final day tbf but I'll play Ollie this week and bench next one.

First on my bench, but I'd have no problems playing him against Spurs.

B

I was just priced out (have 1.0, not 1.3 as below) but would have been tempted to make that move

I would go for Ode at this stage for sure (or Martinelli)

After going all in all these DGWs with the likes of Nketiah, there's a bit of an obsession with quantity over actual delivery

I did consider Ode for March but went with Mac Allister instead. The two extra fixtures plus that he's on penalties swung it for me

Looks just right. Would play TAA and captain Isak. Good luck!

March because he isn’t likely to play again this season

Or both moves

1 if starting. 2 if not (and starting). 5 otherwise.

Willock

Sounds like a plan, personally I'm playing Estu - but I don't have TAA

Grealish is a tough one to call. He had his rest against Leeds last weekend and Pep has started Grealish in a lot of games consecutively so I don't think 90 mins against Madrid has any influence in him starting this weekend. I am currently predicting him to start LW

I mean Everton of course

A to follow masses
B to hope for a differential

I'm going both

Waiting for early team leaks. If no news then likely Isak
