Start Wood or Kluivert? (Both flagged)
Kluviert more a chance to start, wood out for 2GW no?
K
Wood
Sounds like Kluivert might feature but that could just be like 20mins or something.
WC draft, probably BB33 0 ITB
Raya (Areola)
Gabriel Gvardiol Munoz (Burn Konsa)
Salah Saka Foden Sarr (Murphy)
Isak Mateta Marmoush
Konsa and Foden the question marks, have another draft with Savinho, Palmer, Kerkez and Trippier over Foden, Saka, Konsa and Burn but that feels a bit defence heavy (benching a 5m+ defender every week) and books in a transfer.
Big risks with that WC this GW with Saka mins and Foden out of form, but could pay off.
I’ve got Savinho instead
Looks v good
Identical to my team bar Gabriel, I have Kerkez.
Plan to shift Munoz for Gab and AM in 31.
On WC, start with Saka or buy one of others for now?
A) Saka
B) Foden/Sav
C) Palmer
Similar decision..
Any one of those could do well.
Leaning foden as better fixture this week
Bruno 😉
Repost. Too risky to go without mateta ??
GTG ? WC team
Raya (verb)
Gab gvardiol Munoz (trippier milen)
Salah Palmer eze Sarr (Murphy)
Isak marmoush Evanilson
1.7 itb
I've done exactly the same, have the same front 3 and the same triple palace.
Personally, I’d get mateta in.
I'd consider
Evanilson to Mateta
Trippier to Livramento
Eze to Bowen
Or
Evanilson to Mateta
Sarr to Rogers (play Murphy)
Thank you v much !!! Much appreciated:)
Hi guys.
Would you keep Bruno and Mbeumo on a WC? Other 3 are Salah Murphy and Sarr. Will use AM on glasner or Howe next week so will have to sell Munoz or Sarr as well.
Thanks
Don't book a WC transfer
I wouldn't
Thanks for the answers guys. Who would you get instead? Saka? Foden? Someone else? Thanks.
I don't see the problem with Bruno personally. He's on fire and usually still gets points against decent opposition. On pens and all set pieces.
Yeah same thought for me exactly, thanks. What do you about Mbeumo though? Who you get instead?
Saka or Foden and downgrade somewhere else? Or someone entirely different?
Im keeping Bruno
Savinho feels like a transfer out waiting to happen
Yep last minute panick 🙂
Raya, (Areola)
Kerkez, Gvardiol, Munoz (Gabriel, Burn)
Salah, Savinho, Sarr, Saka (Murphy)
Mateta, Isak, Marmoush
Above is locked and leaves £2.1m ITB on WC - worth spending it somewhere?
Great team, how did you decide Burn vs Livra? Not to worried about Burn's YCs as unlikely to be banned for DGW32.
Did end up removing Kerkez and started Gabriel but can see the appeal this week despite Bournemouths defence / current form.
I think Kerkez is a keep for next two and currently can afford to hold until he doubles later - can easily become a GW33 doubler if needed.
Burn because more nailed. Yes a YC this week and next he misses the double completely. But you got to take these risks.
Sarr v eze
Burn v liva v trippier
Foden v savings
Some people going to nail these 50/50 decisions whilst others miss out
First one you expect to balance out over a number of weeks
Second one is much of a muchness, most points will come fomr CS they will likely all get
Last one is just a waste of money. Like spending your savings on a Ferrari when a nice reliable Toyota will do. Only the Ferrari has rust, little fuel, and hasn't broken 60mph since Christmas
Just seen a flagged kluivert and n my team! Is he injured?
Start or bench?
Kepa one of the best potential keepers for DGW 36? Already have Konsa and can't afford Martinez.
Villa have a 49% chance of DGW 36 and Bournemouth 32%
Gvardiol or Munoz?
Can only bring in one this gw;
1) Isak
2) Mateta
Other one will likely come in next gw or gw after. Worried for Matetas minutes..
Any changes to this fairly template wildcard team? Rogers or Savinho.
Raya
Gabriel Gvardiol Munoz
Salah (C) Saka Sarr Savinho
Isak Mateta Marmoush
Areola Livramento AWB Gordon**
A mateta and mitoma
B eze and Evanilson
On wc
Cheers

Gvardiol Gabriel Aina Konate Munoz
Salah Saka Savinho Murphy Sarr
Marmoush Isak Mateta
0.8m ITB
Pretty template right?
Is GW33 also a DGW? Who doubles?
Arsenal, Villa, Palace, City *probably*
Many thanks Biggsy…
WC:
Rays Ederson
Gabriel Gvardiol Milenkovic Munoz Trippier
Salah Saka Mbeumo Sarr Murphy
Mateta Manoush Isaac
0.3 ITB
Any suggestions or G2G
Ederson. No. Just no. Never.
I think Trippier could be a cheaper option and I don't think you start Milenkovic over the others until Forest double. But otherwise good
Ta. Took your advice on the Ederson call.
Captain a) salah b) marmoush
Thanks
Torn here too, reckon Salah likely to play full 90. Marmoush unknown mins. Salah is a mid so more upside to GS than a fwd.
Currently on salah
Munoz for a hit or play Robinson?
Palmer injured or expected to start?
Eze over Munoz? Other mid that’s not Newcastle or City?
Yeah
Start who?
A. Kerkez
B. Timber
A
A
Pls help me out, torn between wc 31or wc 31.
So,
A. Wc 30
B. Wc 31 and just do haaland to marmoush/mateta
My team now:
Raya
Dias RAN colwill
Kluivert salah mbeumo semenyo
Isak haaland* wissa
Nwaneri konsa greaves
Pull the trigger and maximise this week
A bit torn on how to play it out with 3ft and 0.6 itb. Have WC left and only used AM chip. Team doesn’t feel like in need of a WC yet.
Sels (Fabs)
Gabriel Gvardiol Neco (Myko Greaves)
Salah Palmer Bruno Mbeumo Kluivert
Isak Pedro (Wood*)
A) Wood, Kluivert —> Marmoush, Sarr
B) Something else?
If you WC now, more weeks/transfers to play with for 33/34 and can get in Saka and early for example. But I agree it doesn’t need to WC, could do A then leave WC to next week
I’d wildcard. Those 2 FT’s will come in handy
Crazy to consider Asensio on WC?
Plan was to bring him in for Kluivert ahead of Southampton, don't love doing it early but feels pointless to mess around with.
Soton is midway between their CL matches though - possible hangover or rotation for 32.
I think the Pool man Szob is being slept on as a replacement
On WC.
Do I get Konsa over Kerkez this week, or keep Kerkez and then sell for Konsa next week, to allow funds for Emery AM?
I'd have exact funds so if Konsa rises I'd be priced out if I wait.
Cheers.
Help please.
A. Saka, Gordon, Colwill
Or
B. Palmer, Rogers, Trippier
(Would do Palmer to Saka in 33)
Watkins or Evanilson on a WC?
Better to start off with Evanilson for the IPS and WHU games and then switch to Watkins or go with Watkins from the start to avoid the need for a banked transfer?
I'm going Evanilson > Solanke (good fixture) > Watkins
Any immediate concerns with going Raya and Pope in GK on WC?
I'm struggling to keep up with the update fixtures with blanks etc. Will I be left without a keeper for a GW?
Hi there,
Is anyone struggling to part with Bryan Mbeumo on their wildcard?
Find it hard to ditch players that youve kept most of the season.
my team value was 106 million now down to 103 on WC30
Still time to tinker. any suggestions

Munoz.Gabriel Gvardiol
Sarr Palmer Salah Mbeumo
