NOTES
- Round 26 delivered 113 points, with captaincy landing nicely and keeping me inside the top 5k overall.
- DGW27 shifts the strategy slightly. With back-to-back doubles now in play, I’ve held off on the WC and instead activated Park the Bus.
- At this stage of the season, climbing the rank ladder becomes tougher, so the plan is to maximise gains by deploying all remaining chips across the next four rounds.
- I’ve made two transfers for a -4 after weighing things up carefully: Sergej Savić makes way for Rúben Neves.
- Marcelo Grohe starts in goal.
- In defence, Nathan Zézé, Danilo Pereira, Roger Ibañez, Gaston Álvarez, and Kalidou Koulibaly all come in.
- In midfield, Neves, Yannick Carrasco, and Julian Quinones start. João Félix misses out through suspension, while Mahamadou Doumbia is ruled out with injury, so both sit on the bench.
- Up front, Karim Benzema and Ivan Toney lead the line.
@FPL_Chubbs
NOTES
- 1FT and 2.8m in the bank, but there are a few issues to deal with.
- Two suspensions to navigate, and Zakaria Hawsawi looks likely to miss out as well.
- Ivan Toney gets the armband, with the plan to save Triple Captain for the double next round.
- I’m definitely regretting using the Wildcard and Park The Bus chips earlier in the season right now – lesson learned.
- This season has played out very differently from last year, where I held onto my chips but never really got the doubles to maximise them.
- The plan from here is to take a bigger hit in DGW28, selling all the blankers for doublers to field a full XI.
- Then it’s a case of using loan Rangers in GW29, before building again with 5FTs from GW30 to target the run from 30–34, where another double is scheduled.
@FPL_Abdullah
NOTES
- There we go – the week we’ve all been waiting for is finally here.
- With three free transfers and seven players on a double, I’ve decided to roll and head into DGW28 with four FTs, giving me the flexibility to build a stronger squad.
- GW29: Lone Ranger.
- Good luck, everyone!
@Dr_Abdullah_MRM
NOTES
- My potential transfers include:
- Kewin to Orlando Mosquera, Juan Cozzani or Koen Casteels.
- Sadio Mane or Sofiane Bendebka to Riyad Mahrez, Wenderson Galeno, or Saïd Benrahma.
- Marcos Leonardo to Youssef En-Nesyri, Alexandre Lacazette or Joshua King
- Captaincy is currently between Karim Benzema and Ivan Toney
- If Íñigo Martinez is ruled out, my replacements could be Danilo Pereira, Shanqetti, M Al Shamat or Nathan Zézé.
@hassanelolemy
NOTES
- I’m planning to bring in Muhannad Shanqeti or Nathan Zézé, alongside Rayan Hamed, Theo Hernández, and Rayan Messi, replacing M. Al Shamat, Mohamed Simakan, Faris Abdi, and João Félix.
- The reasoning is fairly straightforward. Simakan is dealing with an injury, Faris Abdi hasn’t impressed across the double, and Félix isn’t expected to feature this week. Meanwhile, M. Al Shamat doesn’t have a double, which makes the move easier.
- I’ll also be activating Park the Bus. With defenders playing twice, there’s a strong chance of clean sheets and potential attacking returns, so it feels like the right time to use it.
