@Big4FPL
NOTES
- Although plenty in the community posted even bigger scores, a solid week has still pushed me up to 585th overall and 263rd in the Second Chance league. I’ll keep grinding toward that top-100 target in either competition.
- After moving away from RB Leipzig assets last week, I’m now planning to bring David Raum and Yan Diomande back into the squad for this round. I would’ve liked to hold onto Deniz Undav, but at this stage, I can’t justify moving away from my current front three.
- For now, Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Alejandro Grimaldo all retain the star status.

NOTES
- Goalkeepers: Diant Ramaj and Mio Backhaus – With transfers limited, there’s little scope to change my goalkeepers this week. Even if I had the flexibility, I’d likely stick with my current pairing. Goalkeepers remain notoriously unpredictable, and both have performed well recently – particularly Ramaj, who has been extremely reliable. For that reason, I’m happy to hold.
- Defenders: Alejandro Grimaldo, Maximilian Mittelstädt, Nico Schlotterbeck, David Raum* and Miro Muheim– Selling David Raum to fund Miro Muheim – which delivered a huge 316-point haul – proved worthwhile. However, with RB Leipzig facing Heidenheim this week, the plan now is to bring Raum straight back in, with Leopold Querfeld making way. Beyond that, I don’t expect further defensive changes. That said, if Mittelstädt shows any signs of rotation risk following Stuttgart’s Europa League fixture, he could yet drop out, with Querfeld retaining his place instead.
- Midfielders: Michael Olise*, Nadiem Amiri, Alexis Claude-Maurice, Christoph Baumgartner and Chris Führich – My midfield will look very different from last week. At least three of Alexis Claude-Maurice, Ritsu Doan, Johan Manzambi, and Romano Schmid are likely to make way. For now, Claude-Maurice remains the sole survivor, despite an unfavourable away fixture at Bayern Munich. If I were to sell him, I’d want him back immediately next week anyway. Since I’m planning to line up in a 4-3-3, I shouldn’t need to rely on him for major returns. That said, I’m still weighing up the final call, and it’s possible I end up keeping one of the other three instead. The midfielders almost certain to come in are Amiri and Baumgartner. I also really like Führich, although – similar to Mittelstädt – minutes remain a slight concern. He’s currently predicted to start with confidence, so he stays for now. If that changes, El Mala sits firmly under consideration.
- Forwards: Harry Kane*, Luis Díaz and Yan Diomande – The inclusions of Kane and Díaz require little explanation. Unlike last week, I have a clear plan for the third forward slot: targeting an RB Leipzig attacker. While Rômulo remains an option, I’m currently leaning towards Diomande due to his stronger and more reliable points floor, particularly as I intend to play a 4-3-3.
- I would love to include Deniz Undav, but uncertainty around his minutes following a midweek European fixture makes that move feel too risky at this stage.
@KarbownikFF
NOTES
- My plan for Matchday 19 is to target players not involved in European competition. With Champions League and Europa League fixtures taking place, rotation risk feels high.
- Budget remains tight. Noah Banks is also suspended. Because of that, I’m planning to move on from Banks, Maximilian Mittelstädt, Romano Schmid, Alexis Claude-Maurice, and Lovro Majer.
- The likely arrivals are David Raum, Bernardo, Christoph Baumgartner, Nadiem Amiri, and Ridle Baku. This gives me strong coverage for RB Leipzig’s fixture against Heidenheim.
- At the moment, I plan to line up in a 4-3-3.
- My stars will be Raum, Amiri, and Harry Kane.
@EnesGnerDoan23
NOTES
- I climbed slightly in overall rank and now sit at 1,760 OR, although I dropped to 366 in the Second Chance league. Overall, it was still a strong gameweek. I cleared the 3,000-point mark once again, with the 4-3-3 setup continuing to perform well.
- Looking ahead, rotation feels likely. Stuttgart, Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, and Freiburg all have European fixtures to manage, which could impact minutes.
- Once again, I plan to target Heidenheim. David Raum will return, alongside Willi Orban, to double up on the RB Leipzig defence. In attack, I’ll replace Mohamed Amoura with Yio Diomande.
- Alejandro Grimaldo has been inconsistent recently and could face rotation. Because of that, I’m planning to move him on for either Maximilian Mittelstädt or Amos Pieper.
- Normally, I avoid goalkeeper transfers. However, after several poor Matchdays, Mio Backhaus will also make way. The likely replacement is Nicolas.
- Finally, I plan to transfer out Maximilian Arnold. His replacement will be either Alexis Claude-Maurice or Johan Manzambi.
- This week, I’m switching to a 5-3-2.
- Now or never.
- My targets remain unchanged.
- Overall rank 1,500 and top 250 in Second Chance.
- Good luck, everyone. Keep chasing the points!
@FPL2137
NOTES
- I’m selling players with minutes risk and those facing poor fixtures.
- For now, the stars stay on Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Alejandro Grimaldo, unless any late concerns emerge around their minutes.
- The focus is on nailed starters with favourable fixtures and a strong points floor.
- In goal, I’m also happy to target tougher matchups, with save potential adding another route to returns.
- I’ll keep one free transfer in reserve in case I’ve missed a strong option. If so, Filip will no doubt remind me later.
