Planning for Blank Gameweek 28 and chip season

Last time out, I wrote that my team was treading water. Well, not much has changed. I’m still struggling to get inside the top 100k (having been around the 115k mark for the last five weeks).

I’m not going to bore you by going through my team and, in all honesty, I don’t have much to report other than my squad is doing… well… okay.

It seems crazy that we have less than a third of the season to go, with just 11 Gameweeks remaining. It feels like each week is crucial, and it’s not the time to be treading water! So, what are some of the things that might make the difference? I have been pondering…

That third Liverpool slot

Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.7m). Mohamed Salah (£12.8m). Does anyone out there not own these players? Let me rephrase… does anyone out there not own these players and is doing well?

Along with Kevin De Bruyne (£10.8m), these guys are pretty much nailed down in every squad I see on the boards, on Twitter and in my mini leagues.

As people lose patience with players like Jamie Vardy (£9.7m), Anthony Martial (£7.9m) and John Lundstram (£5.0m), who have been so integral to our squads at some point in this season (all still in my own team by the way), no one can doubt the pedigree of Trent and Mo.

However, the third Liverpool spot is pretty contentious. The trouble is, as I see it, that there is a battle between the consistency of points from Liverpool’s defence (10 clean sheets in the last 11) and the potential of huge hauls from the talents of their attackers (11 goals in the last five).

Sadio Mané (£12.2m) has been out, and now he’s back. Roberto Firmino (£9.7m) has been delivering decent returns. You feel like there might be a brace or a hattrick for these players. However, the likes of Virgil Van Dijk (£6.5m), Andrew Robertson (£7.0m), and even Joe Gomez (£5.3m) are quietly racking up the points.

I see more and more people flocking to Firmino, but I actually feel like he may be the weakest player of all the above. Two double-digit returns mask five blanks in the last eight Gameweeks. His stats continue to be fantastic but are matched by the likes of Raúl Jiménez (£7.7m) or even Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.1m). The Brazilian’s quite erratic form is a problem when we have strikers playing well and delivering points.

Midfield and defence is a different proposition though. As I look through the lists of players, it’s very hard to pick any that really stand out to me in these positions. To me, this tells me that prioritising Liverpool players is the way to go, to ensure the best quality players from a small pond.

Mané is an unbelievable player, and will no doubt deliver for his owners from now until the end of the season. But he also costs over 12 million. I can get Robertson for nearly half that, or Van Dijk too. If they both carry on at their current rate, either of these options will smash 200 points for the season (and don’t forget Robertson has done this before). An unbelievable return.

If one of Salah or Mane are going to be your “go-to” captain option, is spending nearly a quarter of your budget on two players really the best play? I’m thinking not… double defence it is!

Blank Gameweeks

Ah, the Blank Gameweeks are approaching. The type of Gameweek which inevitably leads to Saturday morning texts from your friends being like “WHY ARE HALF MY TEAM NOT PLAYING?”. Noobs, the lot of them (although some of them are beating me, which really hurts…).

Some real basic advice for anyone reading… grab a bit of paper. Write down who in your squad has got a match in Blank Gameweek 28. If you notice you’ve got less than 11 active players, well, you need to be bringing in at least one more with a game that weekend.

I am always amazed by how many this catches out. We can expect hits as people freak out that they are only fielding seven or eight players, particularly as teams such as Manchester City, Sheffield United, Arsenal and Grealish FC also feature highly-owned players who will be missing out.

Quite simply, your bench is needed to cover these guys, and it’s a good opportunity to strengthen your squad.

Some cheap options to cover you in this blank could be the likes of Aaron Mooy (£4.8m) who plays a struggling Crystal Palace side at home, or the wonderful to watch Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.4m), who faces Burnley.

Leicester also have a fantastic fixture against Norwich, so this might be a great excuse to get midfield options like Ayoze Perez (£6.2m) and Harvey Barnes (£6.0m).

What I love about the Blank Gameweek is that it gives you the excuse to go for players that you might not normally consider – because, well, what’s the harm? There’s no danger of a blanking player outscoring them! And, if you are thrifty, you can always Wildcard them out, presuming you still have this chip of course – which brings me on to my next topic.

The chips

Mane, Abraham and Vardy injury updates ahead of FA Cup fourth round weekend

Frankly, I am astounded that I’ve seen Bench Boosts and Wildcards being used at this stage by some veteran players. What on earth is going on? Everyone knows it is sacrilege to use your chips in a single Gameweek! Have people forgotten how to be sheep?!

I am of course being a bit facetious here (as I used my Triple Captain in a single Gameweek), but I do fear for those who are using this chips this early, for what looks to me, an excuse to bring in one player (the now-injured Son Heung-min (£10.0m)) or to help correct a spiralling season. We all know that Double Gameweeks are on the horizon and the chips… well, they are pretty much tailor-made for use during them.

I was burned earlier in the season with my decision to Triple Captain Vardy in a single Gameweek. While I know those who went with Mané are probably still reeling from their three points, hauls for Salah, Robertson, Trent… all go to show that a great chance of getting captain returns comes from when your player plays twice.

You’re simply putting yourself in the best possible position to get returns and, crucially, we don’t know what the Double Gameweeks are going to look like yet!

Using chips at this stage feels like you are going into the crucial part of the season under-armed and under-prepared. If your team is serviceable, or you can get a decent squad with just a few transfers, then my advice is to wait.

Wait until we have the information about who is playing, when they are playing and who they are playing.

Leave it as long as possible to gather as much information as you can before making the call. This puts you in the best position possible to maximise the chips that can completely transform your season.

The Wildcard, in particular, is always tempting, but your team might not be in the mess that you think it is. As I mentioned before, at the moment, the pool of players that we should be considering is pretty small, and so it’s likely that you already own decent players who aren’t as bad as you think they are. You may be Wildcarding for equally small fish, flopping round in an even smaller pond. Perhaps, in a few weeks, we’ll have bigger fish to catch and fry. And with that anecdote, I’m off for dinner. Any guesses what I’m having?

    Big night for my FPL season tonight. Have grafted my way up the ladder to 5th place in my ML and only 12 pts off top going into tonight.

    Remaining players for the top 5.
    1. KDB (c) Aguero
    2. KDB with Lundstram jam from the bench
    3. KDB
    4. KDB (c)
    5. Aguero (c) & KDB

    What i'd give for an Aguero old school 5 goal haul 🙂

    1. farmerfat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Is Aguero 7 goal haul and KDB benching too much to ask for?

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I know like can we just catch a break

      2. Shineonme
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        More like the other way around

      Aguero has been benched 4/5 times I have captained him this season so hoping for the best XD

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        fingers crossed mate. First time owning him this season. Vardy blanking was beautiful so a Kun (c) haul would be immense.

  2. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Can't decide
    A) Aguero and lundstram to jimenez and robbo
    B) Aguero and grealish to DCL and Mané

    1. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I like A

    2. Will Kane

    6. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A easy the better move

  3. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Best move here? 1 FT and 4.0 ITB

    A KDB > Mane
    B Other suggestion?

    Guaita
    TAA / Williams / Lund
    Salah / Grealish / KDB / Traore
    Vardy / Jimi / Ings

    Button / Webster / Cantwell / Holgate      

  4. JelliedSpark968
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Stevens + Grealish to Boly + Moura? Need to get rid of either Aguero, KdB, Grealish or Stevens for BGW, seems to be the best option

    1. JelliedSpark968
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      By the way, I have 2FT

    2. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Stevens to Boly straight swap.

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        This. Keep Grealish for Southampton.

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

      Honestly think Moura is a downgrade on Grealish, would move one of the City players

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Agree with that, Grealish is way better.

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

    Got 2 FT and no idea what to do?

    Henderson, Button
    TAA, Robertson, Taylor, Williams, Lascelles
    Salah, KDB, Grealish, Traoré, Martial
    Ings, Jimenez, Auba

    0.1 ITB

    1. RESULT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Button to a playing gk in 28

    2. Dr Mulholland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Seems like an imbalance in your squad... not much defensive depth and benching headaches further forward.

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I wish I had that defence.

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

      Grealish -> Cantwell (bench), then in GW28 use the cash to shift Button

  6. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is Saiss an option?

    1. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If you can't muster the .3 for Boly for sure

      1. The Polymath

    2. Shineonme

      Team 's good

  9. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    How about owning Aguero and Jesus for their DGWs? One of them must play and possibly haul?

    1. Dr Mulholland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, I've thought about this too. Worth monitoring.

      Though they could play just one game each.

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        As long as you have a good fifth mid like Barnes, I reckon could be worth it.

  10. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    4. Bouncebackability

      Let’s settle for him starting first

      1. JabbaWookiee
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Quite. I'm more nervous than excited for this reason!

  11. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What would you say about Grealish to Barnes?

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Who's your 5th mid?

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

        Dendo

      2. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Planing some reshape before GW28

        1. The Polymath
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          move worth doing

  12. JelliedSpark968
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts? For a -4

    Gomez, Grealish and Aguero --> Boly, Mane and DCL

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Can you spread it out over 2 weeks?

      1. JelliedSpark968
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Not really, need to get rid of one LIV player and need funds from Aguero's transfer to get Mane

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Just do the Aguero transfer this week and the other two next week.

        2. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I understand that, but could avoid the hit if do the Kun move and/or Gomez move this week and get Mane next next - surely Boly's chance of a CS is as good as Gomez's this week and Kun might be on heavily reduced mins vs Leicester (or might not be).

  13. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    All set for next GW?

    Henderson
    TAA Aurier Boly
    KdB Maddison Salah(C) Traore
    Vardy Firmino Ings

    McCarthy Cantwell Rico Soy

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…

      It'll have to do.

    2. Dr Mulholland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nice looking team. Though am slightly doubting in Maddison.

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Will sort him out next. Had other fires I was putting out.

        1. Dr Mulholland
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Good luck, purple one.

  16. OneDennisBergkamp

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Thinking of opposite.
      How long can pool go without conceding and not hauling big time.
      Have a feeling they will haul shortly and maybe concede

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years

      No. Stick with what you've got.

    3. Dr Mulholland

      Seems like people are contemplating the exact opposite.

    4. FPL Pillars

      I have them TAA rob and salh ,think just stick mate

  17. The Polymath

    I have high-powered binoculars and can see the Vardy bandwagon approaching.

    1. pingissimus

      Wow - you can really see as far as next season?

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

  18. JelliedSpark968

    Mane or Aguero as a premium? Wait until after tonight?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mane maybe?
      Imagine if both Liv and City go out of CL in next couple of weeks.

    2. How I met your Mata

  19. The Ejiptian King

    Five GW28 blankers, no keeper and Son, the stuff that dreams are made of.

    1. JelliedSpark968
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Free Hit?

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Nah, I'd rather take a few hits or WC.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Last bit is unlucky, first two points maybe not so much.

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        First bit is completely on me, I chose to bring in Kun rather than sort towards 28.

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          You'll know soon if it paid off. GL.

        1. Dr Mulholland
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Son + Agüero to Mané + Jiménez
          plus Henderson to Pope another week.

          1. The Ejiptian King
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Wouldn't WC?

            1. Dr Mulholland
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years

              You could change certain players gradually over the coming gameweeks.

              Depends if you really want do wholesale changes now.

              Or you could wait to see what the situation will be with GW31, and play your wildcard with that knowledge.

    What would you do here?

    Henderson (Dubravka)

    TAA, Gomez, Stevens (Fernandez, Williams)

    Salah, KdB, Grealish, Traore (Mooy)

    Aguero, Jimenez, Ings

    2FT, 0ITB

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Your suggested moves above are decent, was just questioning the need for the hit.

    2. Jdpz
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Grealish and mooy out

  21. Aubaaaaa
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who do you think will score more this week?
    A. Rico
    B. Jiminez -4

    1. JelliedSpark968
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure if Jimenez is worth a hit for next week, but I'd never back Rico to do better than him

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

      Rico

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B

    4. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Coin toss. I like Jimi though since he is an attacker

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

      Just for this GW, A probably has slightly higher expected points but depends on whether you’d want to get Jimenez later anyway and if you do, whether the extra FT you’ll have will be useful for you.

  22. BRFC
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What do you guys think are the best moves to make,
    Firmino + Son to Ings and Mane or
    DCL + Son to Jimenez and Martial?

    1. Dr Mulholland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The first one. No doubt.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Top one

    3. JelliedSpark968
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Top for sure

  23. Crabwalk
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Has anyone ever had a worse run of transfers than this?

    GW21 Fabianski (Injured GW 22)
    GW22 Sarr (Injured GW23)
    GW23 Ings (Dropped GW24)
    GW24 Mane (Injured GW24)
    GW25 Traore (Injured GW25)
    GW26 Son, as part of WC (Injured GW26)

    No idea who I'll replace Son with yet, but I pity the poor sod who comes in.

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Did you run over a black cat?
      It would be much appreciated if you let everybody know what you will be doing when you decide.

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

      Not sure Son counts. 13 points is still a haul once you go -4.

      Arguably it was a lucky call given he could have gone off for a one pointer.

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

        Sure, but equally he could've scored his penalty and not got crocked for the rest of the season! Part of my WC was to get him in as a differential, while keeping Salah and De Bruyne, with Mahrez as 4th mid. He's really tough to replace as I have 3 Liv already (no Mane) and blank GWs to navigate now. Annoying!

    3. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I bought Sarr, Ings and Mane at the same time as you, got Son a week earlier.

    4. The Rumour Mill
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      That's astonishingly unfortunate. People talk about skill and planning but what are you supposed to do about that run of bad luck?

      I haven't had quite as much bad luck with transfers but in a run of 5 gameweeks in my team as a whole I had Mane injured, Sarr injured, Traore injured, Fabianski injured, Vardy injured, Abraham injured, Maupay dropped, Lundstram dropped, Kelly dropped, Dendonker dropped.

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

        These things happen. I had pretty clear waters earlier in the season. But during this run I also had to deal with the Rashford, Vardy, Lundstram, Kelly, Rico & Dendoncker issues too, leading to the inevitable wildcard. Have dropped from 50k to 120k, but could be worse.

      I've been burnt by the last 4 as well, and have Wood (GW25) now injured and been burnt by Son on another occasion (GW18) when he got sent off.

      GW21 Fabianski (Injured GW 22)
      GW22 Sarr (Injured GW23)
      GW23 Ings (Dropped GW24)
      GW24 Mane (Injured GW24)
      GW25 Traore (Injured GW25)
      GW26 Son, as part of WC (Injured GW26

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

        Ouch. I brought in Son for GW18 too and captained him to boot! Never seem to time it right with him.

      2. Dr Mulholland
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        So you've been burnt by Wood..

    6. Dr Mulholland

      Take a punt on Dele Alli?

  24. JelliedSpark968
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone sceptical of Wolves' game against Norwich? Feels like a trap, Norwich played well vs Liverpool and Wolves typically play best vs Top 10 teams, is anyone doubling up on Adama and Jimenez?

    1. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Trebling w boly. Hope it isn’t a trap

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

      Dubious myself

      You can add in that’s in in an EL week where Wolves generally struggle - often to a 1-1 (5 times so far this season).

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm expecting a tight game, kind of 1-0/1-1. Will probably get Jimenez next week or in GW30

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

        And then next week is Spurs - not hard to see Mou playing a tactical one there.

        But there again Jim has never blanked more than 3 on the trot!

      As someone with no Wolves players, I hope you are right 🙂

    Is there going to be any press conference by Pep?

    1. InvertedWinger

      Not today

    2. Dr Mulholland

      I love Pep's passive aggressive press briefings.
