Liverpool and Man City to contest Gameweek 30 captaincy debate

Salah (c) Sterling (vc)

Has to be Aguero, and I'm not even an owner 🙁

Aguero all day.
Salah just not clicking.

Which clown would you play? No choice unfortunately
Mitro (lei)
Richarlison (new)

Hazard and Jimenez to Aguero(c) and Brooks for -4 worth it?

Would be Aguero if I didn’t sell last week. Ideally i’d want sterling.
But my captain will be between Salah (terrible awful horrendous form) and hazard (Wolves without Bennett is defence will be unsettled, hazard actually looks quite good again too)
So probably hazard

Building for 31, FH 32:

A. Rashford & Doherty > Vardy + Simpson (-4)
B. Rashford > King
C. Step away from the pc

Fabianski
TAA Robertson Pereira
Salah Pogba Hazard Fanderson
Jiminez Rashford Arnie

Stekelenburg, AWB, Doherty, Hojberg

I struggle to see how it’s a debate really

If you own Aguero or sterling there’s your captain. Otherwise it’s salah/mane/TAA/Robbo

Has to be Felipe. Great fixture

Will FH in 32, so maybe A?
Can use 0.2m for other purpose.

A. Guaita -> Boruc
B. Button -> Boruc
Ta.

This is me last GW without fear of City, so long as they beat Swansea. Praying for a Watford defensive masterclass.

Currently on Mané despite owning Sterling - I'll probably be convinced to change before the end of the week.

Kolasinac to chilwell?

Pogba, Jiminez & Shaw > Hazard, King & TAA (-4)?

I wouldn't be dissing Chelsea players as a Capt option

Best mid option for 4.6m with no blanks?

Westwood

When is the monster double gameweek where you ideally want a full team where you can play your bench boost?

Need to sort out my wilcard 2 weeks before that.

Suggestions here?

2FT
1.2 ITB

Fab, Button
TAA, Robbo, Doherty, AWB, Pereira
Son, Salah, Anderson, Pogba, Billing
Kun, Rondon, Jimenez

A) Doherty, Jimenez -> Daniels, Vardy
B) Doherty, Jimenez -> Rice, King
C) Anderson, Jimenez -> Fraser, Vardy
D) Anderson, Jimenez -> Maddison, King

All suggestions are welcome!

Son to Mane preparing for GW31?

Rashford Mkhi > kun westwood -4?

salah has never been in form his season. scored idk 4-5 penalties and some open goals

Free Hit in DGW32 planning (CAVEAT: FIXTURES ARE STILL TECHNICALLY TBC)

If you're free-hitting in DGW32, you'll want to try and make sure that your attackers don't interact with your defenders/keepers as much as possible in order to maximise your potential points. (Or maybe you want to hedge your bets and play it safe - fine, but this might not be so interesting for you in that case).

With that in mind, it's worth noting that there are two mutually exclusive "loops" in DGW32 as it stands at the moment. On the basis (BIG ASSUMPTION AHOY) that the DGW fixtures for doubling teams are:

BHA = SOU/che
CAR = CHE/mci
CHE = car/BHA
CPL = HUD/tot
MCI = ful/CDF
MUN = WAT/wol
SOT = bha/wat
WOL = bur/MUN
WAT = mun/SOT
TOT = liv/CPL

Then there are two "loops" to consider:

Loop 1: (BUR) WOL MUN WAT SOT BHA CHE CAR MCI (FUL)
Loop 2: (HUD) CPL TOT (LIV)

What does this mean? Well, you can read each loop from left to right or right to left. L-R for Loop 1 reads: Burnley's attack have an impact on Wolves' defence; Wolves' attack impact Man U defence; Man U attack impact Watford defence...etc, etc. R-L for the same loop means that Fulham attack impacts Man City's defence, Man City's attack impacts Cardiff's defence...and on until we see how Man U's attack impacts Wolves' defence and Wolves' attack impacts the Burnley defence.

So what? Well, if you're trying to maximise your attacking and defensive returns for goals/assists and clean sheets, you can't have both Man U attack and Wolves defence, or Wolves attack and Man U defence. If you want clean sheet returns from the Brighton defence, fine, but it'll come at a cost to the Chelsea attack (and vice versa - if you have Hazard goals then Duffy/Dunk won't get clean sheets).

Sounds obvious to most of us, but it does mean that you can load up on teams in different loops without worrying they'll cancel each other out; or you can go heavy on defence in one "loop" and attack in the other; or, in this case, defence at one "end" of a loop and attack at an un-connected end of the same loop. So there's no harm in having 3 of both Manchester teams ad Spurs, because they don't encounter each other, but teams like Watford, Brighton and Southampton (where you might pick out cheapies to afford the big hitters) might step on each others' toes.

(Same principle applies at a more obvious level with the blanks - if you've got Bournemouth and Newcastle players for GW31, then a clean sheet for one means a 2-pointer for the other's attackers. But they're only in isolated pairs in a BGW, instead of doubled-up combinations to make the loops for DGWs)

so potentially we could only have 2 double gamweeks, 32 and 35? or is 37 a contender also.

Someone tell me why hazard isn’t a good (C)

My 31/33 team for (-4). Quick poll on the missing 2 players:

Fabs
Robbo/Chilwell/Bardsley
Salah/Haz/Mane/xx
Higuain/King/xx

A. Brooks + Barnes
B. Westwood + Vardy

Cheers

I’d captain Aguero if he wasnt such a rotation threat with a fit Jesus and Champs League.

Keep Son for 1 more week or start planning for GW31 with bringing in Maddison, Anderson or Lanzini this week?

What does Ben Crellin get out of his blank and double spreadsheets? Seems like a large amount of work to help out a few randomers if he doesnt get anything for it, must take up so much spare time. Im intrigued

Which player gets demoted to the bench from my line-up this GW?
(FPL-wise)... I'm thinking Jiminez...

Trent - AWB - Digne
Salah - Pogba - Sonny - Felipe
Kun - Rashy - Jiminez
