How the Top 10k are looking ahead of Blank Gameweek 27

The top 10,000 managers in Fantasy Premier League have joined the rest of us in moving en masse for Son Heung-min (£8.8m).

The Spurs midfielder was snapped up by just over 550,000 FPL managers in the run-up to Gameweek 26 – that’s almost twice as many transfers in as the next-most-bought player of this weekend.

A look at the most-owned players among the top 10k (see below) reveals that Son is the only change to the “template” squad from the previous Gameweek, with Leroy Sane (£9.6m) unsurprisingly making way.

Mohamed Salah (£13.6m) remains the most-owned player in the top 10,000, followed by Marcus Rashford (£7.8m) – who was benched at Craven Cottage earlier today – and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.6m).

The above template squad features four players who blank in Gameweek 27 – namely Lucas Digne (£5.3m), Richarlison (£6.7m), Eden Hazard (£10.9m) and Sergio Aguero (£11.4m).

The front eight players in the above graphic match those in the overall most-owned squad, as pictured below:

Marcos Alonso (£6.5m), Ederson (£5.6m), Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) and Alisson (£6.0m) are the four names that differ; Alonso and Ederson being two more players without a fixture in Gameweek 27.

Son for Sane and Raul Jimenez (£6.7m) for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.2m) are the two changes from Gameweek 25.

There unsurprisingly hasn’t been a great deal of chip activity this weekend, though we may see a very minor spike in the usage of the free hit chip in Gameweek 27 among those Fantasy managers whose squads are overloaded with Manchester City, Everton and Chelsea assets.

Just over 17% of managers inside the top 10,000 have used their free hit chip already.

Over 75% of managers in the top 10k have their triple captain chip still to play, while a similar number also have their second wildcard still to burn.

Bench boost remains the least-used chip among these high-performing Fantasy managers.

The overall picture, meanwhile, looks as follows:

Almost exactly one in five managers inside the top 10k in FPL have used two or more of their chips already this season (see below).

Just over 50% of the top 10,000 Fantasy bosses are still yet to use a single chip, however.

The overall situation shows a similar spread, though an increased 27.4% have used two or more of their chips as of Gameweek 26:

Switching our attention back to Gameweek 26, the top 10k largely backed Salah for the armband ahead of his eight-point return against Bournemouth.

The 2.27% who captained Paul Pogba (£8.7m) will be sitting pretty on 32 points once bonus is added, while a similar number captained Aubameyang and will be relying on their vice-captain for points (Pogba being a popular choice) after the Gabonese forward’s no-show at Huddersfield.

The overall Gameweek 26 captaincy picture is not quite as straightforward, as one would perhaps expect given the varying degrees of involvement further down the rankings and with those managers perhaps having less to lose by backing a differential captain.

    2 FT and 3 BGW players, who would you prioritise? On paper the Everton lads (Richo and Digne) should definitely go first but could be missing a trick sitting the 11.4 m of Aguero on the bench.

    1. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on rest of ur team. Im in a similar spot, same 2 out and then bench sterling for me

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Team linked if you feel like having a squizz. Also depends on who comes in too ofc.

    2. TheBrazilianRonaldo
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Re-frame it. Which player would you keep if you couldn’t get them back?

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Fair point, I definitely wouldn't want Richo and Digne back that's for sure!

  2. Bobby_Baggio
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Best 4.3 or 4.2 Midfield bench fodder....

    A) Dendonker
    B) Bacuna
    C) Romeu
    D) Puncheon
    E) Anyone else

    1. Pigeon
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hayden

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Talks on here he'll lose his spot to others returning

        1. waldo666
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Been reading allot of that too and does make sense, A maybe.

    2. suddenorgan
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hayden?

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Been told he may his place under threat soon

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        He's covering for Shelvey. Villa wanted to sign on loan but Newcastle wouldn't let go because of injuries

        1. suddenorgan
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Aah yes sorry, Ki probably back to fitness now too.. I would go for Puncheon even though he's a bit riskier than Romeu/Dendocker, think he has the highest upside

  3. suddenorgan
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Barnes -> Auba (-4) easily my dumbest move of the season

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure about dumb, pretty unlucky I would say.

      1. suddenorgan
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I did it along with Sane -> Pogba on Friday night, there was no need for me to do it until this morning

        1. suddenorgan
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Thursday night sorry

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      it's not dumb, it looks the case now but if you asked anyone on Wed/Thursday it would be a 100% yes

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        If you asked ahead of the deadline most would say no. And on Wed/Thurs people would say "wait until closer to the deadline"

    3. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He was ill no one could have predicted that especially those who made an early transfer

    4. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      depends when you did it really

    5. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely more unlucky than dumb. No one would have questioned you for doing that

    6. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Weren't Barnes stats better than any other forward lately?

      1. suddenorgan
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        yep, I've enjoyed owning him, even with his habit of getting a yellow card every time he scores.. except today of course, ha

    7. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      it wasnt a good transfer even considering what happened tbh

      1. suddenorgan
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        thanks that means a lot

  4. mgilbert86
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone considering Schmeichel for these fixtures?

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      not really - 3x of the leicester back 4 offer decent attacking potential within same price bracket

  5. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone who can remember having success with differentials lately? Im not asking about people who got in Pogba or Rashford 1 week early, but players who legitimately arent in many teams.

    Laporte is the closest I can think of. Everything seems to fail this season if you try going off template.

    1. XabiAlonso
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Had some success with rondon for a while at 3.8% ownership

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Im considering him for the upcoming run of games. Arnie is tempting too though, especially with Fulham at home next.

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Holebas / Foster?

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, JWP was great for 3 weeks. No real genuine talk of him here, instead other more expensive options talked about over and over.

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Nice work getting him in, I thought he was a great alternative around that time but had more pressing issues.

      2. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thats a nice one.

      3. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I’ve got him but this week I had him first on bench so his 1pt is coming in for Rashford ☹️

    4. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I've had Eriksen for a while now but his returns have been pretty ordinary really, jagged a 13 pointer out of him but that is a distant memory now.

    5. MTPockets
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Holebas was great, until now

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          potentially has one/maybe two really good DGWs I think - he should keep it up I think

      • AllanM
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Siggy earlier in the season for me. Barnes doing well. Got Kev who looks ready to shine and excels against better teams.

      • GianniBanani
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Etheridge 50 points vs Fabianski 27 last 8 gws

      • EMBOLOFAN
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        martial didnt do badly today, laporte dgw, higuain debut. some brave people enjoying success with barnes and bamba. fixture turns for leicester, newcastle, brighton, cardiff etc starting. people shifting from premium mids to arsenal forwards despite probable bgw. lots of interesting things about to happen imo.

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Martial is one of my failed differentials... Had him from the start of Ole's run along with Pogba and he did f all, until now of course, after I got rid when he was injured last week.

      • tucaoneo
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I had Snodgrass for two weeks and he got 19 pts.

      • HammersFan
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Surprised nobody else went for Lindelof (before tonight)

        Since GW21: 7,6,2,10,7
        Only 5% owned!

      • Burger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I bought Son in November, and apart from this week he's pretty much been a differential all the way though.

      • Danno - Emre Canada
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        At what percentage do you think a differential is? Or do you think we should go on the top 100k or some reasoning? Laporte is owned by about one in ten of us

        1. McEwan
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          % is difficult to gauge as differentials sometimes. I got mane 4gws ago at around 19% but a large portion of that would be dead teams. So a differencial at the business end

    6. Codetto
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Etheridge or Fabianski to be transferred in?

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        prefer pat but etheridge between the 2 of them

      2. g40steve

      1. suddenorgan

      Bottomed...
      Covering BGW, but looking forward with Chelsea, too (ditch both, just one?)

      Each is a -4:
      1) Haz, Kamara > Moutinho, Auba
      2) Siggy, Kam > Fanderson, Rondon
      3) Luiz, Kam > Kola, Rondon
      4) Other?

      Current team: Fab, Button // Luiz, Robbo, Doh, AWB, Bednarek
      Salah, Pogba, Hazard, Son, Siggy // Rash, Jim, Kamara

      1. Buck The Trent
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        1 more upside, but 2 get rid of the deadwood

    9. K.F.C
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Kun + Richarilson > Aub + Pogba for s hit?

      1. K.F.C
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        a* lol

        1. Fred54
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Right the first time, prop s hit without Pogba...

      2. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Kind of depends on rest of team/coverage, but I like it.

      3. EMBOLOFAN
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        pogba not essential this week (vs liverpool) if you can field a team

      4. K.F.C
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Awesome thanks mate, teams not in bad shape have wild card still to burn

      5. K.F.C
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        i have exact cash for the trades now

      6. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Why have you waited so long?

      7. K.F.C
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I've been waiting to transfer him for his blank lol nah just teams had other issues past few GWs

    10. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If no Arsenal players, who do you prefer to captain out of

      A Pog (LIV)
      B Mo (mun)
      C Son (bur)

      1. MTPockets

        • EMBOLOFAN

        • SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years

          Burnley have improved, but C

      2. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Sell sterling or kun or neither?

        1. Richd
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I’m really tempted to bench both and take a bad week.

          I mean they are at home to West Ham after that !

          1. Emiliano Sala
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            If they both start!

            1. Richd
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Well that’s not the attitude now is it ? 😉

          2. Clintymints
            • 14 Years

            Kun > Auba then Auba > Kun

            1. Richd
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Seems a waste of transfers when they are so precious ahead of BGW

        2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I am likely sell sterling, too much rotation going on for me

        3. EMBOLOFAN
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          depends on your ability to field a decent team next week

      3. Weasel51
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Only have 9 for next week.

        Holebas+ Laporte >> Kola + Maguire wort a -4?

        Or just Holebas/Laporte > Kola?

        Cheers

              would probably do laporte to pereira/taa and leave it at that. sterling to mane is another option

        Early transfer thoughts:

        Ings + Sterling + Richarlison + Digne —> Auba + Jota + Maddison + Pereira (-8)

        Your thoughts please?

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          post your team

          highly unlikely taking a -8 to get in auba and a bunch of mid price players is a good idea

        2. Buck The Trent
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Decent -8

      5. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Just realised Ings is back next gameweek (forgot about cup week), so can keep him.

        Who's everyone Triple Captaining this season? Thinking Mr reliable, Salah.

        1. GianniBanani
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Really missed the train with Aguero tc. I really want to tc player captained by max 30% of top10k managers

          1. Big boy Bowen
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I think Aguero score will be beaten. Was only 3 goals over 2 games, easily beatable I think

            1. Fitzy.
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              If you could take it though, I bet you would.

              1. Big boy Bowen
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                I'd take even Captaining him lol - I capped Sterling

            2. Richd
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Well Laporte beat it.

              It’s having the right player do it. I would not twist on my Kun TC right now 😉

              1. Big boy Bowen
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

      6. Clintymints
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Why don't people wait 'til maybe Auba drops and Aguero rises today?

        What's the rush

        1. GianniBanani
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Which people? I'm afraid of bringing Auba right now

        2. Richd
          • 11 Years

          Nobody should be bringing anyone in until the deadline.

          Surely no one will be doing transfers yet

        4. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Maybe 'priced in' with the changes and don't want 0.1/0.2 leftover ITB (I have this weird OCD to spend the full 100m lol)

      7. GianniBanani

        What is the best strategy for all chips keepers?

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          depends on your team but check crellins twitter

          1. GianniBanani
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks, my team is:
            Etheridge, Hamer
            Robertson, Doherty, AWB, Luiz, Bednarek
            Hazard, Salah, Son, Pogba, Stephens
            Firmino, Rashford, Jimenez

            Plus 3,4 ITB

          32 Free hit
          34 WC
          35 BB
          36 TC Salah vs Hud

          Or TC Higuan in a DGW

          1. Clintymints
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Sounds good

          2. GianniBanani
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers, so it means im looking for 27-31 options right now?

            1. Peter Ouch
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              I am now preparing my team for 31 and 33 that look identical.
              So slowly build it up and then all the rest are set up if you use your chips that way

        3. Clintymints
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          You kinda have to get as many player possible playing in 31.

          https://d1bfnpscahnssj.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/GW31-c-1.png is a rough guide to the teams to get. the lads in green are the ones who will play, but at the same time, they all suck

          1. GianniBanani
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            So triple lpool is a nice start

      8. Kub3
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        If you want Mané now is the time to get him. Scored in 4 straight games and is a player who goes on hot streaks. Out of all of Liverpool’s attack he’s the one most likely to score at Old Trafford IMO

      9. davies
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Which option?

        A) Salah + King
        B) Mane + Lacazette

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          a

        2. MTPockets
            5 years, 1 month ago

            A. Salah's too highly owned to avoid through a run of no blanks

        3. Richd
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Here’s my team for next week! Thoughts ? 😉

          Hamer( May not play)
          Doherty, AWB, TAA, Lascelles
          Pogba, Salah, Son (c), Puncheon
          Rashford, Jiminez

          One playing sub: Valery

          Ederson, Sterling, Kun benched

          Thinking 1 FT could be Hamer to Boruc

          0.2 ITB

          1. Buck The Trent
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Get Boruc or Guita imo

          2. EMBOLOFAN
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            doubt hamer plays, would prob do allison for ederson, you'll want 3x liverpool before bgw anyway

            1. Richd
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              I’ll prob get a third pool but not sure if GK is where I’d wanna go with it. We are kind of spoilt with cheap keepers right now

              Saying that it’s been an option running through my mind

              1. EMBOLOFAN
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                agree but gets the job done in 1 transfer rather than 2

                1. Richd
                  • 11 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Yeah I get what you mean

                  Another concern would be double pool defence v Pog and Rash.

                  God it’s gonna be a horrendous week.

                  1. EMBOLOFAN
                    • 5 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    agree and im in a similar position as i own 3x united attack and 2x liverpool defence but in the medium term i think it's going to play out fine

              2. EMBOLOFAN
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                in any case, prefer boruc to guitar just because of likelyhood that palace blank gw31 (city definitely will)

                1. Richd
                  • 11 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Yeah that’s the logic behind it. I’d get a keeper for 27 and 31 !

                  1. Richd
                    • 11 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    Unless he gets dropped ?

                    1. EMBOLOFAN
                      • 5 Years
                      5 years, 1 month ago

                      there's a risk he does but it's prob worth it given that 27/31 are good fixtures for bournemouth

                2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
                  • 9 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Hey! Newport on a cold windy evening?

          3. g40steve
            • 6 Years

            Do it, I swapped button.

            1. Richd
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              I’ll be waiting until the deadline but I think it’s the move

              Are you bench boosting did I see ?

              1. g40steve
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                That’s the plan once I have 15 playing starters.
                Boruc rising tonight so already done the swap for button.

        4. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Bednarek and Digne in for Auba and Rashford hasn’t helped my rank this week 🙁

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            bad luck but you wont be the only one thats for sure

          2. Richd
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Everyone got bummed. TAA cameo for many too.

        5. Visionaries
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Had you this team, would you free hit?
          Heavy investment in City, United and Pool with no Arsenal.

          Lloris
          Shaw, Doherty, Laporte, Robbo, (AWB)
          Salah, Pogba, Son, Jota
          Rash, Aguero, (Long)

          1. Royal5
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            No way. United Pool could be high scoring. Just do Aguero > Auba/Kane

          2. Peter Ouch
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            DGW is more important to FH imo

          3. EMBOLOFAN
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            nah just do laporte to pereira and get on with it. everyone is going to struggle.

        6. Clintymints
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Considering doing Sane > Mane but it means I've to drop TAA, so I'm thinking Doherty in?

          Leaves me with

          Fab/Hamer

          Robertson Kola Digne Doherty Wan-B
          Salah Mane Son Pogba Odoi
          Aguero Rashford Jiminez

          Not mad on losing Trent after keeping but Sane has to go. Not much mids exciting me or doing the biz apart from on form Mane. + plays in 31

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            if you already own taa dont waste 2 transfers switching to mane

          2. Peter Ouch
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Why dont you drop Robbo and get TAA the you can do Sane to Mane

          3. Clintymints
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Already have Taa I need to get rid of Sane and Mane was the choice, but rather drop TAA than Robertson, as I've had Robertson since gw1

        7. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Who are we BGW31/33 preppers looking to replace rich this week? Fraser and Maddison aren’t convincing at all

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            what's unconvincing about maddison? has been playing well, has amazing fixtures coming up and has been unlucky not to register more attacking returns in recent weeks. ranks very highly for total shots + chances created.

            1. Ask Yourself
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              He has been shite ever since he missed that pen. Awful on the eye test and is getting dropped

          2. MTPockets
              5 years, 1 month ago

              May still get Maddison in for Hazard. Stats are ok although haven't watched a Leicester game for ages

              1. EMBOLOFAN
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                i have - he looks good!

                1. Ask Yourself
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  I don’t agree, looks terrible when I see him

            • Richd
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              I got Son this week as there’s so few options. I’m not even a fan of Son.

              The thing is the cheap options appear to have dried up and Rich is awful, so I guess you just get one of those and pray.

              1. Ask Yourself
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah I don’t rate spurs slightly he is a very lucky player only got him to ruin his luck. The defenders look better for the blanks anyway

            • Scratch
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Fraser. Bourn way better at home and he has 3 decent home fixtures for 27, 31 and 33

              1. Ask Yourself
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah they are really missing wilson

            • Clintymints
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Fraser if I had to choose from that, and Vardy could make way for the Leicester pick

          3. Super Silva Haze
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            For those with all 3 chips and WC to use. When are you most likely to use the WC ?

            1. SADIO SANÉ
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              34

            2. Numb
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Pretty much everyone who still has it will use in GW34

            3. Super Silva Haze
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Why 34 ?

              1. Duffy Dunk
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                I think it's best used before a dgw bb.
                Since dgw32 is surrounded by blanks, wc in 34 just before dgw35 seems to be the way to go.

              2. Big Ping
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                To set up bb in gw35

          4. suddenorgan
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Are we expecting Boruc to keep his place? Really nice BGW fixtures even if they are a bit of a leaky team

            1. Richd
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Apparently Howe and Begovic had a bust up. But he was still on the bench, so is a small concern I guess

              1. suddenorgan
                • 13 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Thanks, thought he played well today despite the result

          5. Danstoke82
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Evening all, best replacement for Richarlison here? Mane out of question as already have 3 Liverpool unless I lose Alisson.

            Alisson
            Robertson Doherty Jonny
            Salah Pogba Son Richarlison
            Aguero Rashford Jimenez

            Subs; Speroni Bednarek Wan Bissaka Puncheon

            1FT £3.4ITB

          6. VicGunner
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Pogba reminds me of Yaya all those seasons ago. I kept avoiding him, he kept punishing me. Absolute machine.

          7. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Fabianski
            Robertson / TAA / Doherty / AWB
            Salah / Son / Pogba / Camarasa
            Rashford / Jimenez

            Ederson* // Sterling* / Digne* / Ings*

            Which option looks best for next GW?

            A) Digne > Pereira
            B) Sterling > Jota
            C) Sterling/Ings > Jota/Aubameyang (-4)
            D) Ederson > Boruc
            E) Save FT

            I do not know what to do with the Ings spot. D would be for price changes/BGW preparation.

            1. MTPockets

              • 7 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Already have Pereira. Tempted to double up on Leicester defence with good run ahead either Digne to Maguire or Chilwell. That too much invested in Leicester backline?

              I have 11 playing for 27 benching Sterling so could roll ft.

              1. Duffy Dunk
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Hold you horses, the only team worth doubling up on WAS Liverpool.

              2. TRIPOS TOPPER
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                it's ok for the 31/33 blanks, but I wouldn't do it for now. I know fixtures are "good" but for mid table teams

                I prefer TAA, Doherty. Assume you already have Robbo.

                Maybe do it for gw30 (or 31) to carry you through 31 and 33

                32 you can free hit one (or both of them) out, then wc34 get rid of one permanently

                  Thanks, great info! Currently on Robbo, Doherty, Pereira, AWB, Digne. Chips I had FH31, TC32, WC34, BB35

                  1. antis0cial
                    • 7 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    Can’t go taa as have 3 pool. Mane, Salah

              3. EMBOLOFAN
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                think doubling up on leics is fine

              Anyone else benching Kun for GW27 blank? A mouthwatering home tie against Hammers in GW28 coming up.
