      Digne has a 33% chance of a cleanie, which is decent, but not good...you hoping for some attacking returns I'm taking it?

      If you like the odds on one or the these happening (CS or G, A, Bonus), then I'd play Digne.

      Yank- maybe with your helpful insight and Kiwi’s input I will be benching Fraser and Arnautovic.

      At this point I will put my phone down and just let it stew a bit more. Thanks again!

    I am one the few who are building for dgw 32 and will fh on 31

    What do you think of:

    Bednarek, Son -> Azpi, Milivojevic

    Palace and Chelsea potentially have good doubles on 32

    I wanted Zaha but can’t get rid of Aguero, Rashford or Jimenez, they should double as well

          FH in a good DGW can easily outpoint a TC assuming it even hits. Say Aguero repeats 25 score. You have 19pts more than Aguero C players with loads of prime DGW picks to better those 19pts

      Don't see appeal of FH 31. No one's sold it to me well. You can get the best players in a reduced week that most people will have and 11 vs 9-10 players

      Or you can tailor a team full of DGW players like say in form Lukaku for 1 DGW as to difficult to break up team to get in normally etc

    A. Take a -8 now to do
    Jimenez to Vardy. Plum fixture for Vardy this week.
    Sterling to Hazard for free next week.
    B. Jimenez and Sterling
    To Vardy and Hazard next week for -4 and I already taken a hit this week.

    Either way I take 2 hits in 2 weeks and get 11 out in 31.
    I am leaning towards A.
    Talk me out of a -8 this week ...

          K that's pretty strong then.
          You don't see a possible upside here - I am getting an assured 33 player too.
          Does that not make it more like a -2 that a -4
          Plus my team is going to smash it so hard this week that -8 off the top won't matter 🙂

      If you would otherwise take a -4 next week, I would do the extra -4 this week. I expect Vardy to do better than Jimenez this week.

      Attacker I think. You are usually going to need attacking returns from WanB to get anything - even against Bri at home.
      Rondon is patchy and Eve defence is improving but still probably worth the punt

        I think its a close call, attacker edges it a bit

    Rashford —> King tomorrow.

    Next week Will be:
    Son, Aguero and Doherty —> Azpi, Hazard and Vardy.

    Leaves me with this for GW 31:

    Fab
    Azpi - Robbo - Pereira
    Mane - Salah - Hazard
    Vardy - King

    Looks ok right? any other suggestions?

      Play Rash against Arsenal. King has scored in 1 away game all season and Huddersfield are solid at home

          rashford reverse oop but think arsenal is a good fixture. problem is guy asking question has a lot of transfers to make before 31 and for this week rash>king is the most realistic, unless money itb to do doherty>azpi

      Apart from removing some players who already have a 31 not really.
      Decent moves.
      You ain't got Hazard but a good chance you get away with it as the 31 team looks strong.

        Cheers. The alternative is Ings -> Wilson/King this week and then bring a defender in for either Kolasinac/Holebas in 31. Best option?
