      I have him for BB32...he has to be a sell right? They sat him last match, 90 in the UCL, now SOU?

  6. rokka222
    • 2 Years
    7 months, 28 days ago

    Konsa is a sell for BB32? Emery will rotate him vs Southampton with UCL as the priority or am I wrong? I want to keep him but...

    2nd in my mini league and chasing 50 point gap. Leader has triple captained already - I still have my tc chip. We both have Isak, so is it a waste to tc this week (I’m sure he’ll captain him). Maybe save for a differential in a few weeks or go for it now?

  12. Will
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    Planning to bench boost Martinez (sou) Saka (BRE) Konate (WHU) and Gvardiol (CRY)

    is there anyone you'd transfer in for Saka, given the likely benching?

  13. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years

    Doesn't seem ideal to sell Muñoz, but I have to sell one CP for Glasner.

    Muñoz, Robinson ->
    Livramento, Williams -4 ?

    Leaves enough 0.9 ITB for Glasner ;

    Henderson*
    Gvardiol Livramento* Williams
    Salah Bruno Mbeumo Murphy*
    Isak* Mateta*(C) Marmoush
    Glasner*

    Pickford Saka Saliba Mykolenko

    Only have AM left to play

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 28 days ago

      If you're dead-set on Glasner, I would also consider Henderson > Verbruggen instead.

      Palace don't have great fixtures till season end, so probably fewer clen sheets. Munoz can still contribute going forward.

      Verbruggen covers some of Pickfords fixtures quite well, but especially useful this week & GW34 for you. (If it gives you enough for Glasner, if still going for Livramento/Burn).

      Having said that I'm not sure the variance will be massive either way, just doenat seem ideal to sell Munoz before a double-DGW.

      You could say the same of Henderson I suppose, but it's a toss up.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 28 days ago

        It's a good suggestion and I really appreciate it, but I need another transfer to gain 0.6M for Glasner.. Which one?

        I have tried all sorts of combinations with Hendo out and Munoz out, while also not getting too thin for BW34.

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 months, 27 days ago

          I guess it would be Mbeumo down if anyone, but 35 onwards is decent for him. Else, Bruno.

  14. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    7 months, 28 days ago

    Saka to Rogers or Palmer ?

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      7 months, 28 days ago

      What’s wrong with Saka?

      1. Will
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 months, 28 days ago

        likely benched

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 months, 28 days ago

          Can you not bench Saka and start someone else? Or sell that someone else for Rogers?

          1. Will
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            7 months, 28 days ago

            Isn't Rogers a significant benching risk too?

            1. Hazz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              7 months, 28 days ago

              It's not zero, yeah. Although he does start almost every game it seems.

  15. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    7 months, 28 days ago

    Best option here
    A- Paly Foden
    B- Paly Saka
    C- Play Konsa
    D- Foden > Malen as a Punt and DGW 33
    for free

  16. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 28 days ago

    A) GW32: Gvardiol (CRY); GW33: Kerkez (CRY)
    B) GW32: Bradley (WHU); GW33: Bradley (LEI) [-4]

    I wildcarded last week, with the plan to BB this week. Didn’t consider the UCL impacting it that much but my bench boost would be:
    Kepa-Saka-Saliba-Konsa

    Worth it? I am not really sure when else it would be used. Could wait until 33 but I picked Kepa specifically for this BB. BB33 would be Kepa-Semenyo-Livramento-Murphy. Not good fixtures. I have 1 FT atm, FH34

  18. Stranger Mings

    My Team

    Should we take Alexander-Arnold into the team or is there a better third pick from Liverpool?
