The Big Numbers – Gameweek 25

West Ham a close second on 14.

Oh, I lie Sunderland on 16!

Yep. Will be nice for dgws also

For sure. Watching the West Ham game from the stands we didn't get near City once. Their dominance in midfield and ability to keep the ball is fantastic. Talking to a fella who went to Goodison (Everton fan) and he said despite losing 4-0 City were so dominant.

Good shout **added to watch list.

Yeah, material for a WC before a DGW with BB for sure!! Even before too if you have a spare free!

i'm more of a fan of Caballero the same price 4.7 if you are looking for a way into the city defence and not such a rotation risk in my eyes.

Yes I currently have him. Decided to bench rather than ship him out as he got me 8 points last week 🙂

He's still a rotation risk isn't he?

Always the way. Don't worry Brunt and Alonso can score instead!

Playing 5 too! Gotta be a first, just seemed the best way of not screwing my team up for post 28

Grant
Alonso Baines Coleman Brunt Daniels

Yes, in your case I think it's reasonable...

Yep, worth selling and returning after 28.

i bought Sanchez for 11.8 and i'm looking to sell for Hazard tonight to avoid price drop and Hazard price rise. I have 8 players for GW28 and one FT still to take this week, so it isn't so important for me to load up on Gw28 players as yourself.

But i would be looking to off load Sanchez.

Thanks all. Yeah I think he will drop to something like 11.4 by GW28. Not worth it.

Dont lose lukaku

One week at a time, Kaku looks "essential".

If I was number 1 in the world by about 100 points, I wouldn't use it just to take the p***.

Last season I foolishly went punty around Christmas with the plan of using my WC before the new year but hadn't read the rules properly and the deadline was the gameweek before the new year so I effectively lost it and became a casual player for the rest of the season... I think I used my second WC in January to make up for it but missed out on most of the DGW nonsense... last year was a complete blur

would you not just use it for 2-3 transfers post DGW or last week team lottery

i wouldnt wanna meet the person whod rather take a 4pt hit in a dgw37 than use a wc

I reckon you've got a chance tonight. Any draw is a good result or even up to a 3-1 loss. 2-0 Loss wouldn't be good.

We _can_ beat anyone, but not hopeful, either.

nah, it's not gonna be as exciting as you think

Are you planning to get Ibra back for BOU?

Nop

What's that? 11.3 SP? Yep, could well buy-back at that, maybe a tad lower 29.

tough call, i bought sanchez for 11.8 so it was an easy switch for hazard this week

Heaton has 17 saves more than the keeper in 2nd place. With 180min less played.

Good enough for me(I bought @ 4.5m)

B

-8 is tough but i would do 1.

There is never a Scoutcast in the first week of a two week break

Too many questions not enough answers

Hopefully one after the fa cup games

That makes sense, looking forward to it

A. I think this is the best time to get rid of amat.

Couple = 2.

Maguire for holebas. Pickford.
Alli to siggy. Not sure though.
I don't know. Maybe you are too patient.

1) Either
2) Holebas. Mid more likely to play GW28
3) Grant
4) Alli
5) You tell me!

points over next 2 matter. can always sell by the time you get to 28

I am looking at this too. Think it comes down to:

a) what Hazard or whoever could do pointswise in one less game than say Antonio/Siggy who has no blanks
b) How people are already set for GW28 assuming only those games known go ahead
c) Chasing or leading in a ML can also have an impact on decision making.

Personally think I will go with Siggy but next week after Chelsea away as I am poorly set for GW28

Who'll play 28 also. Don't have too many who'll play 28.

I prefer the cheaper non-blankers, as I can use the extra cash elsewhere.

Also take care that the replacement should score equivalent to the two transfers you are spending over the hokey-cokey. I effectively try to view even my FTs as 4 points which helps in making decisions at a time like this.

Barkley or Antonio for me, unless your strategy is to have enough other playing GW28 players and can bench Hazard GW28 and still get out a decent team. Ultimately will Barkley or Antonio get more points in 3 games than Hazard in 2 games, and do you intend to keep Hazard instead of Sanchez after GW28 ?

Ibra & Alli > Defoe & Mané

I am playing it safe and going over and under 2.5 goals .

Bayern -1 pre-game

Sanchez anytime in running

over 0.5 goals then either next goalscorer or exact corners

I'm having muller or Leo brace.

Nothing guaranteed, we will all know more after the FA cup ties next week.

Bournemouth v West Ham
Everton v West Brom
Hull v Swansea

Thanks! Quick follow up. This is a tough one. Best striker under 6.9 with gw 26, 28 and the fixtures afterwards in mind? Need to replace Anichebe, my worst trade ever!

Is "bringing in the big AC" the FPL equivalent of "jumping the shark"?

Good luck.

Will probably bring him in for Stanislas.

Sticking by well owned players, captaining the "safe" pick (usually a high owned player in form)

The correct way to play imo. I'm guessing the most successful players play this way

Yep.

No. If they score for you..points are better than transfers

Costa against West Ham could match Ibra against Bournemouth.

If your plan works... that is Costa scores big against Swansea, say a brace or a hat trick, will you have the bottle to transfer him straight out against West Ham?

i got him for 11.0 - what to do?

Why on earth did you get him that late? U can just sell now then and pick him up for a better value 🙂

8 x replays incoming

C) should be Amat to Maguire...

Lose either Ibra or Sanchez

Go for Carroll

Definitely!

If you have a superstar coming in instead of someone like Phillips/De Roon or something worse. Easy to get him back before DGW. I think I will just bench since got him at 11.0.

If your teams demands him out do it, if not hold. I have Sanchez bought at 11.1 and Sanchez/Lovren to Hazard/Alonso keeps keeps nagging me to be done even if it means struggling to get Sanchez back in.
