@TheCrisk
NOTES
- With the Wildcard approaching, this final Gameweek brings a few issues to monitor. Matías Soulé ended his last match with a knock, while Bologna arrive out of form and face a tough trip to play Inter.
- That said, my priority this week is to strengthen the defence. Soulé could recover in time, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Bologna cause problems for Inter. I also have the exact funds available to switch Tiago Gabriel of Lecce to Pierre Kalulu, which allows me to double up on the Juventus defence at home.
@dmpwright
NOTES
- I plan to activate my Rebuild Squad chip in Gameweek 19 to target the upcoming Double Gameweeks, which means I’m happy to take a short-term punt in Gameweek 18.
- With Bologna travelling to face Inter, I’m considering moving on Riccardo Orsolini for either Aarón Martín or Nikola Vlašić, both of whom have favourable fixtures this week.
- I’m also weighing up a defensive change, with Tiago Gabriel potentially making way for Fabiano Parisi. Parisi continues to perform well out of position for Fiorentina and now faces a Cremonese side with one of the weakest expected goals against records in the league.

NOTES
- The past few Gameweeks have gone extremely well. Thanks to strong returns from my Como players in the previous round, I passed the 100-point mark and climbed to second overall, my highest rank so far.
- I originally planned to roll the transfer, but Matteo Gabbia’s injury forced my hand. The intention now is to save a move again, although that could change, as Matías Soulé has picked up an injury. That’s particularly frustrating, as I hoped he would serve as a strong differential against managers using their Wildcard in Gameweek 19.
- I’ll keep a close eye on updates from Roma before making a final call. If the issue proves minor, I may hold Soulé, especially as I wasn’t expecting significant returns from the away fixture against Atalanta anyway. If the injury rules him out for a longer spell, I’ll look to move him on and bring in a replacement with Double Gameweek 21 in mind.
- At this stage, I’m considering Giovane of Verona or one of Napoli’s forwards. Ideally, I’d like to keep spending to a minimum, as I feel the best value remains in defence and midfield.
- Elsewhere, the squad looks well set. Favourable fixtures for AC Milan, Como, and Juventus offer hope of a strong captain return and another healthy points total.
- Good luck.

NOTES
- I plan to use the Rebuild Squad chip in Gameweek 19 to prepare for the incoming Double Gameweek.
- That means that any transfer plans are short-term focused.
- This week, I’ll likely replace Matias Soule if he’s injured. He picked up a knock last time out and has Atalanta next anyway.
- I’m also not overly keen on Riccardo Orsolini’s fixture against Inter, or Tiago Gabriel’s clash with Juventus, so they are also players I could replace.
- Torino, Juventus, and Fiorentina players appear to be the best to bring in for one week.
- If Soule is out, I could look to Torino’s Giovanni Simeone, or Juventus’ Lois Openda.
- If Soule is fit, I’ll replace either Tiago or Orsolini.
