    WC 29 looks tempting if there’s a double. We’ll know the gwk31 fixtures so can take that into consideration, then free hit in 34 and use transfers from 31 onwards to build for 37

        Don’t we find out the games before gwk 29 deadline? If Liverpool are in then there’s 3. Have cheap players like Taylor, Saiss and Cantwell (if Norwich lose) on the bench. Jimenez. Pope. Then have a plan to swap double Gameweek players to 31 players, e.g Mahrez to Richarlison. Should be able to get a decent team out imo

      The idea seems ok but both City and Arsenal likely to blank in gw 31 and dgw in 29, how would you manage to fit them all would be my concern

      You want to wildcard for 3 man city and 3 arsenal though, and then also possibly have them blank in 31 as well? Who would even play both matches for sure but KDB and Aubama.

      For me I'm keeping 2 ft for next week and maybe taking one hit for a third. My team has no City or Arsenal atm either, unfortunately I admit.

        Wouldn’t work with 3 of each, I admit. Three City and Auba is doable as long as Liverpool and Norwich go out of the cup, even better if Newcastle go out as well.

    So my current GW29 team is:

    Pope (TOT)
    TAA (BOU) Boly (WHU) Soyuncu (AVL)
    Salah (BOU) Mane (BOU) KdB (mun) Maddison (AVL)
    Vardy (AVL) Ings (NEW) Jimenez (WHU)

    How does one bring in DGW 29 players with that, if DGW is confirmed?

      This is the problem. So many good fixtures in GW29, selling any of those players for a DGW player could easily backfire.

        Yep, that's what I posted previous page, too many good fixtures, try making a FH team with 3 City and 3 Arsenal, you'll have to sacrifice someone you'd want.
