Which Gameweeks could be affected by the Champions League and Europa League

The UEFA Champions League and Europa League recommence this week following a two-month break.

As we have learned the hard way in the past, that could have a knock-on effect for Fantasy managers regarding squad rotation in the top flight.

Seven Premier League sides are still involved in European competition, with Arsenal, Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers, in particular, facing a busy time of it.

While Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur only face a two-legged, last-16 Champions League tie between now and the international break, the trio of clubs still involved in the Europa League will face four Thursday night games over the same period.

Six of these seven teams (Wolves being the exception) are still involved in the FA Cup, too, while City have a League Cup final to come in less than a fortnight’s time.

Should United progress to the semi-finals of both the FA Cup and Europa League, for instance, they will likely be in action twice a week, every week, from now until the end of 2019/20 (barring the international break).

With that in mind, we thought it was worth a look at the fixture schedule for Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal, Manchester United and Wolves over the next month.

The picture obviously gets more clouded from Gameweek 31 onwards, with blanks and doubles still to be determined, so we’ll stop in earnest at that point and revisit the article during the international break when we’ll hopefully know a little bit more about postponements and rearranged matches.

MANCHESTER CITY

Wednesday 19 February: Gameweek 26 – West Ham United (h)
Saturday 22 February: Gameweek 27 – Leicester City (a)
Wednesday 26 February: Champions League last 16 – Real Madrid (a)
Sunday 1 March: EFL Cup finalAston Villa (n)
Wednesday 4 March: FA Cup fifth round – Sheffield Wednesday (a)
Sunday 8 March: Gameweek 29 – Manchester United (a)
Saturday 14 March: Gameweek 30 – Burnley (h)
Tuesday 17 March: Champions League last 16 – Real Madrid (h)
Saturday 21 March: Gameweek 31 – Chelsea (a)*

*possible blank due to clash with FA Cup quarter-finals


City could well be in action twice a week until the international break if the Premier League opts to crowbar in an extra fixture for Pep Guardiola’s side in Gameweek 29. That is still a hypothetical scenario at this stage, however, and would depend on results in Europe and in the FA Cup.

With the league title gone and a place in the top four (which, of course, may not necessarily translate into Champions League qualification for next season) looking fairly assured, the Gameweek 30 clash with Burnley could see some key players rested, as the second leg of City’s tie against Real Madrid follows just 75 hours after that game.

This week’s league matches against West Ham and Leicester may also see a degree of rotation (what’s new there, many of you will ask) but Guardiola’s previous comments about City’s players needing “rhythm” before next Wednesday’s trip to the Bernabeu are at least heartening.

LIVERPOOL

Tuesday 18 February: Champions League last 16 – Atletico Madrid (a)
Monday 24 February: Gameweek 27 – West Ham United (h)
Saturday 29 February: Gameweek 28 – Watford (a)
Tuesday 3 March: FA Cup fifth round – Chelsea (a)
Saturday 7 March: Gameweek 29 – Bournemouth (h)
Wednesday 11 March: Champions League last 16 – Atletico Madrid (h)
Monday 16 March: Gameweek 30 – Everton (a)
Saturday 21 March: Gameweek 31 – Crystal Palace (h)*

*possible blank due to clash with FA Cup quarter-finals


As if they need any assistance on their procession to the Premier League title, Liverpool’s schedule is arguably the most favourable out of the seven clubs in European action.

The Reds have six days to recover from their exertions in Madrid before they take on West Ham in the top flight in Gameweek 27, which ought to diminish any risk of fatigue-led rotation.

Similarly, the second leg of their Champions League tie with Atletico falls four days after the visit of Bournemouth and a generous five days before they take on Everton in the Merseyside derby.

Klopp kept rotation in the league to an absolute minimum around the Champions League group stage and, although his side has since built up a huge lead domestically, the carrots of an unbeaten 2019/20 and a triple-figure points tally will hopefully see our key Liverpool assets avoid more than the odd breather between now and May.

Given his previous for naming youthful sides in the third and fourth round of the FA Cup, it’ll be interesting to see how Klopp approaches the fifth round tie against Chelsea in terms of team selection, with that game falling in between Gameweeks 28 and 29.

CHELSEA

Monday 17 February: Gameweek 26 – Manchester United (h)
Saturday 22 February: Gameweek 27 – Tottenham Hotspur (h)
Tuesday 25 February: Champions League last 16 – Bayern Munich (h)
Saturday 29 February: Gameweek 28 – Bournemouth (a)
Tuesday 3 March: FA Cup fifth round – Liverpool (h)
Sunday 8 March: Gameweek 29 – Everton (h)
Saturday 14 March: Gameweek 30 – Aston Villa (a)
Wednesday 18 March: Champions League last 16 – Bayern Munich (a)
Saturday 21 March: Gameweek 31 – Manchester City (h)*

*possible blank due to clash with FA Cup quarter-finals


Given the importance of the Gameweek 27 clash with Spurs to the race for a top four place, it’s difficult to see Frank Lampard approaching that match with minute management in mind even though a Champions League last-16 tie against Bayern follows just three days later.

Lampard’s “favourites” – Cesar Azpilicueta (£5.8m), Willian (£7.1m) and Tammy Abraham (£7.7m), for example – generally started every league and Champions League game when the group stages were on anyway, so the Chelsea boss doesn’t seem to have any qualms about his first-team regulars racking up game-time in busy periods.

A Double Gameweek 29 has been mooted in some quarters but that would hinge on both Chelsea and Manchester City’s progression to the FA Cup quarter-finals and a swift rearrangement of their Gameweek 31 clash, not to mention other factors like Arsenal’s elimination from the Europa League (the Gunners also have an outstanding fixture against City to be rearranged).

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

Wednesday 19 February: Champions League last 16 – RB Leipzig (h)
Saturday 22 February: Gameweek 27 – Chelsea (a)
Sunday 1 March: Gameweek 28 – Wolverhampton Wanderers (h)
Wednesday 4 March: FA Cup fifth round – Norwich City (h)
Saturday 7 March: Gameweek 29 – Burnley (a)
Tuesday 10 March: Champions League last 16 – RB Leipzig (a)
Sunday 15 March: Gameweek 30 – Manchester United (h)
Friday 20 March: Gameweek 31 – West Ham United (h)*

*possible blank due to clash with FA Cup quarter-finals


Jose Mourinho took charge of two Spurs games in the Champions League after his appointment in November, with the likes of Son Heung-min (£10.0m), Dele Alli (£8.4m) and Harry Kane (£10.8m) starting all four league matches around those ties – although the mid-December defeat in Munich was something of a dead rubber.

The Gameweek 29 clash against Burnley falls just three days before the Lilywhites travel to Germany for their clash with RB Leipzig but, given how tight the race for fourth (maybe even fifth) is at present, it’s surely more likely that Mourinho will opt to shuffle his side (or manage minutes) in the FA Cup fifth round ahead of that trip to Turf Moor.

ARSENAL

Thursday 20 February: Europa League last 32 – Olympiakos (a)
Sunday 23 February: Gameweek 27 – Everton (h)
Thursday 27 February: Europa League last 32 – Olympiakos (h)
Monday 2 March: FA Cup fifth round – Portsmouth (a)
Saturday 7 March: Gameweek 29 – West Ham United (h)
Thursday 12 March: Europa League last 16, first leg
Saturday 14/Sunday 15 March: Gameweek 30 – Brighton and Hove Albion (a)
Thursday 19 March: Europa League last 16, second leg
Sunday 22 March: Gameweek 31 – Southampton (a)*

*possible blank due to clash with FA Cup quarter-finals


With Mikel Arteta not taking charge of Arsenal until Boxing Day, we are in the dark as to how seriously he will be taking the UEFA Europa League regarding team selection and its impact on the Premier League front.

The Gunners will, of course, have a Blank Gameweek 28, given Manchester City’s involvement in the EFL Cup final on that same weekend.

Should the north London side be eliminated from European competition at the round-of-32 stage, that would open up the possibility of their postponed match against Pep Guardiola’s troops being moved to a Double Gameweek 29 – although it’s all conjecture at this point and nothing has been, or likely will be, confirmed for some time yet.

MANCHESTER UNITED

Monday 17 February: Gameweek 26 – Chelsea (a)
Thursday 20 February: Europa League last 32 – Bruges (a)
Sunday 23 February: Gameweek 27 – Watford (h)
Thursday 27 February: Europa League last 32 – Bruges (h)
Sunday 1 March: Gameweek 28 – Everton (a)
Thursday 5 March: FA Cup fifth round – Derby County (a)
Sunday 8 March: Gameweek 29 – Manchester City (h)
Thursday 12 March: Europa League last 16, first leg
Sunday 15 March: Gameweek 30 – Tottenham Hotspur (a)
Thursday 19 March: Europa League last 16, second leg
Saturday 21/Sunday 22 March: Gameweek 31 – Sheffield United (h)*

*possible blank due to clash with FA Cup quarter-finals


Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s priority in the first half of the campaign was very much the Premier League, with second-string players frequently used on the continent.

Marcus Rashford (£8.9m), for example, started only two of United’s six Europe League group games but every Premier League fixture around those matches.

The teamsheet in Belgium on Thursday will perhaps provide us with some clues as to whether that remains the case, and there could be a point later in the season (much like Arsenal) where qualification for next season’s Champions League is more realistic by winning this year’s Europa League than it is by finishing fourth.

As we mentioned in the introduction, United’s schedule has the potential to be the busiest of all seven clubs featured in this piece, should they go deep into the Europa League and FA Cup.

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS

Thursday 20 February: Europa League last 32 – Espanyol (h)
Sunday 23 February: Gameweek 27 – Norwich City (h)
Thursday 27 February: Europa League last 32 – Espanyol (a)
Sunday 1 March: Gameweek 28 – Tottenham Hotspur (a)
Saturday 7 March: Gameweek 29 – Brighton and Hove Albion (h)
Thursday 12 March: Europa League last 16, first leg
Sunday 15 March: Gameweek 30 – West Ham United (a)
Thursday 19 March: Europa League last 16, second leg
Saturday 21/Sunday 22 March: Gameweek 31 – Bournemouth (h)


Nuno Espirito Santo rang the changes in the first quarter of the campaign as Wolves juggled the Premier League and Europa League but, from Gameweeks 10-19, the West Midlands club’s starting XI was the most settled in the division despite their involvement on the continent, with only one change (an enforced one, at that) being made over that period.

The hope from an owners’ perspective is that Santo adopts that latter approach when the knockout stage recommences this Thursday, and an early elimination from the FA Cup (thus giving Wolves a breather in between Gameweeks 28 and 29) is certainly advantageous from that perspective.

Happily for those of us who own Raul Jimenez (£7.7m), the Mexican striker started every single league match either side of a Europa League group stage game.

    How likely is Saiss of Wolves to be displaced?

    4.4 Wolves defender in a team continuing to improve at the back I'd like to ship Holgate for.

      Possible rotation with Dendocker but fairly safe unless you can stretch to Boly

    C'mon Martial, you're an utter tw*t , but I'd still like you to score a couple of golazos...

    1. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nah, he blows

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        He'll punish the sellers (you) 😛

      2. Party time
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Punished so well 😆

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero/Martial to Jimmy/Son or Mane worth a hit?

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Keep Martial, Watford at home next.

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers, will probably just be Aguero to Jimmy after Friday

      2. The Prophet
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Worth a hit for me. Martial been awful.

    3. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Cantwell to Son for a -4 worth it or wait for GW29? (Need to use FT on 28 on GK transfer)

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        If you think Son will do better than probably 2 gk points, maby worth to do Son now and go without gk in GW 28?

      2. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Not worth a hit

      3. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I would. Son is likely to overscore Cantwell with more than 4 pts. And on case of injury you might be forced to take a hit gw29. Taking the hit now should pay itself back and give one ft for 29.

      4. dansmusen
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I would do it...live a little 🙂

      5. KDB4PREZ
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I would do it

      6. Klaren
        • 6 Years

        Thanks all, appreciate it!

    4. JBG
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Best quartet for gw28 and forward(until WC around GW32 most likely):

      A) C.Taylor+TAA+Mane+Salah
      B) Gomez+TAA+Salah+Son

      ??

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        B

        1. JBG
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks! Any reason why B is better?

          1. Bobby Digital
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Mane and Salah gives you a captain headache

            1. JBG
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Having Salah gives me that anyways tbf. This way I can alternate H and A matches.

    5. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Holgate+Grealish to Boly+Traore (-4)?

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        No

      2. JBG
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        No

      3. Eric Banternaaa
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        No. Grealish always has chances in every game.

    6. akhilrajau
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Suggest best option

      Schmeichel (Martin)
      Robertson, TAA, Sidibe, Kelly, Lundstram
      Martial, Salah, Noble, KDB, Hayden
      Ings,calwert-levin , Vardy
      Bank: 1.6 m FT: 1

      A. KDB -> Son
      B. Kelly -> Lascelles / Fernandez
      C. Vardy -> Jimenez
      D. A + C (-4)
      E. A + Calvert -> Jimenez (-4)
      F. Save
      G. Other and suggest

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years

        B

      2. JBG
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        B to a Burnley defender, so you have a definite FPL asset for gw31.

        1. akhilrajau
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Then wat about sidbe -> Taylor?

        You ain't very good at predictions 😀

    8. dansmusen
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero/Greenwood to Ings/Jimenez for -4 is a no brainer right?

      1. Eric Banternaaa
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Correct.

    9. Eric Banternaaa

      Aguero Ings Abraham

      So I need differentials. Hit me.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Especially in midfield

      2. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        Son count?

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          No I have him.

          Plan is to move on KDB and Perez so will have Son Salah and under 5m midfielder. So 2 spots open.

          1. Miguel Sanchez
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years

            H.Barnes from next GW looks great

      3. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years

        Mane

        Richarlison

        1. Yankee Toffee
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Great shout, but is 9.3% owned a differential? Technically speaking anyway.

          Hoping DCL and Richarlison turn up rest of the season, non-owner at this point but considering after fixture turn

          1. The 12th Man
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I’m holding onto DCL. Great value and form despite fixtures.
            Think 9% ownership is low enough to get in.

            1. Yankee Toffee
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Good choice lad. I'd hold if I had him

              1. The 12th Man
                • 10 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                He looked so confident in that Palace game. Receiving the ball, turning and running at the defence. Always in the box for rebounds too.
                I can’t double up with Rich though,that’s too much. For someone who has neither though think I’d punt on Richarlison.

      6. Yankee Toffee
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Pepe, Siggy, Hendog

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Pepe on my watch list. Not before the blank though.
          Siggy too risky for me.

    12. JoeSoap
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Any thoughts on how best to use 2FTs (zero in bank)?

      On my wish list is Jimmy and Son. Jimmy looks a must this week. Those in caps missing for GW28.

      McCarthy
      Robbo, taa, Rico
      Salah, Martial, KDB, Bergw
      Vardy, Ings, dcl
      Gazza, LUNDY, Dendo, KELLY

    13. ChickenTikkaMoSalah

      Auba+Fleck to Ings+Pepe for free?

      Bottomed from last page, since it was very late there. The topic was about FH31 strategy and for my team it looks like roughly 25 pts gain if Liverpool is playing, about 12 pts more if they win Chelsea:

      Expected pts are roughly 4 per player. Wood is injured, so I will have only DCL and Jimenez + (3x Liv). That would mean about roughly 9x4 or 6x4 pts gain from FH. Looks decent enough for me. Then WC to play BB and use ft:s for 2nd dgw.

      Getting over 20 pts with dgw FH is difficult imo. Saving FH or WC for last week(s) when some teams are on holiday in away matches remains an option though.

      Opinions, is there really better way to use FH?

        GW34 likely to be blank for some teams and double for some, if i have understood it correctly. I'm looking at using it that week if that's the case.

      Does KDB/FIRMINO to MANE/JIMÉNEZ (-4) look worthwhile??

      Feel like they could go big next few weeks.

      Have Salah and Son already.

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

        Not worth -4

        1. Pukki Party
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          It's only -2 as KDB has a blank 28.

          1. The Prophet
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah, doesn’t feel like such a big hit considering the blank.

          2. Yankee Toffee
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            It is though, if you have a player on the bench who can score 2 pts

            1. Yankee Toffee
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              *It is a -4 though

        4 years, 1 month ago

        Tough because of the -4 but if I had to bet on a combo over the next few weeks it would be Mane / Jimenez

        1. The Prophet
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers lads.

          I’m looking at it as a -2 as well considering KDB’s blank.

          1. The 12th Man
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            It’s not though is it?
            If you have a player on your bench with a fixture who can fill in for KDB then it’s a -4.

        2. OverTinker
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Salah or Mane? I guess Mane will be rotated more or is it not?

      3. KDB4PREZ
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I’m looking at it for free not sure for hit

        1. The Prophet
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Got to be a no-brainer for free mate.

    16. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Jack Grealish.
      Surely it’s prudent to just bench him in 28.
      50% chance he gets a game in 31 if West Brom beat the Toon.

      Think my move will be to move Willams > Boly then my GW 28 bench would be Henderson,MOOY,KDB,Grealish .

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Not against keeping him but Barnes is tempting.

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I probably could afford to upgrade Mooy to Barnes and just keep Williams as my backup.

          1. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Yup I'm also looking at same move Mooy to Barnes if I want to keep Grealish but then obviously I'll have a benching headache each week.

            1. The 12th Man
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              The benching headache is something I’m willing to accept over the next few weeks up to 31. I have Digne and DCL and will bench one or both depending on fixtures.

              Would you go Barnes over Traore?

              1. Karan14
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                Thats a tough one. I have Traore too. I would probably just edge towards Barnes if you already have Jimenez too. Barnes has more of a goal threat compared to Traore's assist threat.

                1. The 12th Man
                  • 10 Years
                  4 years, 1 month ago

                  I’m doing Deeney > Jimmy this week.
                  I know Deeney has a fixture in 31 but his time is up.

      2. Yankee Toffee
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I'm holding Grealish over the blank

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I probably will as well. I have 11 starters now for 28 so I’ll either save and have 2 in 29 or move out Williams for a reliable starter who plays in 31 or move Mooy > Barnes

    17. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      1. DCL to Jimi
      2. Vardy to Jimi

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Or
        3. Keep DCL and Vardy

      2. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        That’s tough.
        All 3 are holds if you have them now.
        DCL keep but don’t buy.
        Jimmy is the only one I’d say is a buy and hold.

        DCL > Vardy could work out. Maybe wait until after City.

        1. OverTinker
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          No currently I have DCL Ings and Vardy. Keeping Ings but want to include jimi instead of DCL or Vardy. Vardy has good fix ahead but if I replace Vardy with jimi I can afford robo

          1. The 12th Man
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Reluctantly I’d do DCL > Jimenez.

            I’m keeping DCL. Great value for his form but I have Jimmy and Ings.
            If I go Leicester think I will be going Barnes or Pereira

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

        Have exactly the same dilemma this week with the same front 3!

        It's so tough! You'd think a player of Vardy's quality with those fixtures coming up will come good but it's an expensive risk to hold him ....

        DCL has clearly posted much stats but plays for a worse team and has far worse fixtures on paper.

        Dropping Vardy makes my GW28 moves much easier and gives loads of spare cash itb for future moves.
        Dropping DCL feels more "sensible".....

        I'll be making a late decision on it!

        1. OverTinker
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Currently I am on DCL to jimi

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

            I’m leaning towards same.

            My GW28 moves would then be: Grealish, Martial > Son, Traoré (-4)

      Best transfer ?

      A) Ryan > McCarthy

      Hendo/Mcc
      Taa/Evans/Lundy/Rico/Fernández
      Salah/KDB/Son/Traore/Trossard(will sell after GW28)
      Vardy/Ings/Bobby

      Plan was to get Robo/VVD to sure you my weak defense and I’m Hesitant to sell KDB but with blank and option to get Mané seems nice? Any advice welcomed

      How do i get in Son in this team?

      2FT 0 ITB

      Henderson

      Trent, Lascelles, Robertson,

      Salah, KDB, Martial, Traore

      Vardy, Auba, Ings

      Pope, Stephens, Willams, Hayden

      A) Martial & Auba to Son & Jimenez

      B) KDB to Son

      C) Other options?

      1. Fit_to_drop
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Son almost wrecked my entire season after his wondergoal in the new stadium and that same night I sold KDB for him (exact money). Team hasn't been right since. My point? Son tends to do that every so often i.e. look like he is going on a spree. But it didn't come in my case. Maybe you'll have better luck.

      Struggling how to rearrange this team without taking too many hits.

      Pope 4.0

      TAA - Gomez - Soyuncu - Stephens - Rico

      Salah - KDB - Martial - Alli - Grealish

      Ings - Vardy - DCL

      0.6itb 1ft
      A) Alli + DCL. To Traore + Jimenez (-4), leaves 1.3itb
      B) Alli +DCL to Hayden + Jimenez (-4) this week, then Martial to Son next week. Leaves 0.6itb
      C) Forget Jimenez, keep DCL and do Alli to Traore this week, and Martial to Son next week, leaves 0.9itb

      1. Pegboy
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I've got pretty much the same team (Hayden + Robbo over Grealish + Gomez), but 2FTs.

        I'm stuck. Alli should have had at least a hat-trick against Villa, but his confidence looks shot. DCL is a bargain at that price and the obvious sale for Jimi is Vardy.

        In your position I'd do C I think.

        1. Hktrader88
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah Vardy to Jimenez would solve all my budget problems, but his fixtures look so good after City. He got 35 points in the reverse of these upcoming 4 fixtures.

          I thought Alli was good value compared to Son, but he doesn't seem to be finishing well.

      KDB to Son ? Yes or no? Are you considering this move?

      1. YuvalFPL
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I am strongly considering.

      2. Yankee Toffee

        Not at all, no.

    23. Vpan

      A) VVD + Soy

      or

      B) Robby + Stephens

      1. Miguel Sanchez

    24. BNMC
      • 4 Years

      I have no Wolves players. Should I bring in Boly or Traore this week?

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Depends who else you have starting this week in defence and midfield.

    25. sentz05
      • 7 Years

      I currently have 9 players who can play during GW28. WC, BB, FH and 2FTs all available Can someone please tell me what to do? I'm finding all of the blanks and DGWs very difficult to get my head around.

    26. Eric Banternaaa

      McCarthy Button
      TAA Lund Rico Stephens Williams
      Mane Salah Son Cantwell Dendoncer
      Aguero Ings Abraham

      Thoughts on Tammy Lund > Jimi Lacselles

    27. The Mighty Whites
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      2FT, 0.0 ITB-

      Guaita, Button

      TAA, Stevens, Fernandez, Webster, Rico

      Salah, Mane, KDB, Grealish, Nakamba

      Vardy, Jimenez, Ings

    28. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Currently have 4 players who have a BGW 28, plus Doncker & a Fodder!

      (1 FT) Ryan Button (0.1 ITB)
      Robertson Egan* Lascelles
      Mane Salah KdB* Grealish*
      Ings Aubameyang* DC-L
      Holgate Doncker Fodder

      Save FT & take out KdB, Grealish, Auba for Maddison, Son & Vardy seems logical?
