    Worked it out that using the AM chip on Slot for GW24-25, and then changing the chip to Arteta for GW26 will realistically result in around 38 points if Liverpool draw one of the games.

    Slot DGW24
    Vs BOU - 3, 2 = 5
    VS EVE - 6, 3 = 9

    GW25
    Vs Wolves - 6, 2, 4 = 12

    Arteta GW26
    Vs West Ham - 12

    = 38 points

        Or is it 1-0? Apologies, thought it was 3 points for a CS.

        Maybe 2-1 or 3-2 then? I can't see them losing to Everton, and I doubt they will draw both DGW games either. Drawing one is being realistic IMO even though there is a good chance they win both.

          I think they're more likely to win at the Vitality than in the derby - look at their results there.

          Only 2 wins in the last 12 matches at Goodison, 1 loss and the rest are draws, including five 0-0s.

              They had three in a row from 2017/18 to 2019/20 - pretty mad.

              Everton finally looking more like a football team and the last derby at Goodison - think it's got massive upset written all over it.

      I didn’t realise you could change managers on the chip. I thought you had to stick with the same one for all 3 games?

        You can change - it takes up a transfer and you need the money if you're upgrading.

      Why not , anything can happen later on might else well use it now . Will be nly regret if he bags it well. I'm going for hit and then using AM chip in the later double and FH in the other or blank week .

        Isnt it better to use TC in a small double involving 2 teams than in a big DGW where FH with 11 DGWers would likely yield better results?

        I'm also not convinced that AM is best used in a double (rather than selecting the best possible fixture combination for the manager(s) in question over 3 standard gameweeks).

          I feel like it's such a punt trying to pick a manager who has a team 5 positions below another team and then hoping that they win that game too.

      33 (blanks from 29) & 36 (blanks from 34).

      But some chance that, if Spurs make the Carabao Cup final, the Fulham game comes earlier (25 I think?) rather than 33

        Also on this I've seen Ben Crellin saying lately some of the potential 34 blanks could go to 33 and not 36. Its not cut and dry which will end up the biggest double

    The chip strategy advice on this site seems to advocate for Wildcard in GW30 and Free Hit in BGW34. But most people are loaded up on up to six Liverpool and Newcastle players, and Rogers, who could all easily blank in BGW29, forcing the free hit early. People aren’t going to use their free transfers to remove Liverpool and Newcastle assets between DGW24 and BGW29. With that in mind, how should managers approach BGW34 if they’ve already used free hit in BGW29?

      I'm in that camp (3 Liverpool and 3 Newcastle). No FT currently but we have a few weeks before 29. Assuming they both blank

      I'm planning to whittle Newcastle down to just Isak
      Bench my 2 Liverpool outfield players in the blank
      Rogers to a Bournemouth player

      Hold the FH for the bigger blank

      I'm very reluctant to FH29 considering 33 should be the bigger blanks (up to 8 teams). Not going to sell Salah / Isak given the value built up but don't mind losing Trent in 26, Hall in 25 and Gakpo at some point too.

      But I do think the value of deadending then WCing is quite different this season now that we can carry FTs through chips, so I'm not going to be taking a bunch of one week punts for 29, and may field less than 11. Also open to the idea of playing WC between 25-30 if a good opportunity comes up

          The FH is so much better used later on for the BGW - I think you just have to write off GW29 as a bad week and most people will be in the same boat.

      It's a good point and imagine will definitely catch a few out, what with any spanners thrown in between now and GW29 too.

      A week(+) ago I sat down and looked at my team to make a guideline of a plan for what kind of moves I would like to make between then and GW29, given the upcoming DGW and teams likely to blank.

      https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2025/01/15/fpl-gameweek-21-round-up-wednesdays-goals-assists-bonus-points-stats?hc_page=1&hc_sort_by=comment_date#hc_comment_27021148

      As I mentioned in the first line - even my rough plan outlined has some alternatives I might want or need to do now, e.g.

      - Instead of Bruno in, Semenyo/Kluivert (I didn't notice how good their fixtures were from GW25)
      - Planning for Cunha in GW29 may need to be someone else, given a potential Cunha January transfer (NFO & ARS most in tabloids atm, both unlikely to blank either, but ARS play CHE & if at NFO I'd alresfy be tripled up so would need to swap it around.

      Gotta be flexible and keep an eye on players you bring in.

        I think Gakpo.

        VVD is a bit pricey I feel and too much in defence.

        Konate is the move just to get Triple pool and a defender with good fixtures to start most weeks till WC.

        Not sure why, but I let this double creep up on me without being prepared. With Jackson stinking up my team I really want rid but also getting FOMO with Trent, so what looks like a good move?

        a. Jackson to Wissa this week. Gabriel to Trent next week.

        b. Jackson to Gakpo this week. No Trent without a hit (but 1FT to potentially move away from GW29 blanks or another Liverpool Forward)

          It could be overrated anyhow

          Especially for defence

          I'd value the Leicester game higher anyhow for Everton of the 4 fixtures.

            Funnily enough, I did think about DCL over Wissa with A - bench this week and play in the double - would mean Trent could come in for someone else. But then I think there is some hidden PTSD when it comes to DCL and DGW from years of old...

            so make the transfers or front 7 and jackson bench is good idea
            and save 3 transfers for the double gameweek

              You need rid of Jackson, but I'd also suggest Bruno needs to go - so I don't really see value in the Diaz to Gakpo moves.

              Maybe just Jackson to someone or Bruno to Mbeumo and roll the rest - as you say, going into a DGW with a few transfers is a nice position.

          I think i'd do it if I could this week for free. Losing the IPS fixture for Trent (personally) makes me more wary

          I think I'm going to the DGW with only Salah and TAA. Getting another attacker takes too many transfers.

                Only way to a third pool with one transfer is Gabriel to VVD... Worth it?

                Owning Bruno has become a real pain, could sell him to fund Pedro to Gakpo
