Blank Gameweek 31 fixtures confirmed after FA Cup ties

Lots of planning for bgw 31 etc but if someone asked you 5 hours ago plans would maybe look different ie Norwich and Everton over spurs and west ham. Is forward planning too much of a risk?

Best option between

A Iheanacho and KDB to Aubameyang and Sarr -4 or

B Iheanacho to Jota and hope KDD plays. Stephens comes in if not.

Henderson
TAA Boly Stevens
Salah Mané Barnes *****
Ings Jiménez *****

Pope Stephens Fernández Mooy

I'd be amazed if De Bruyne doesn't play against United.Shoulder injury doesn't sound too serious.

Thoughts on this?

WC GW32-33 with 15 players for BB in DGW37 and use FH in GW34 ?

Its long time between WC and BB but things can be fixed with FTs

Still thinking to do Bergwijn to KdB for free.

Seems to me there are two ways to look at the weak GW31 fixtures:

1) Perfect time for a free hit as it allows you to play a full team that week without having to load up on any (relative) dross beforehand. Having a full team when many don't will be an advantage straight away.

2) A poor time for a free hit as it should be easy to cover the key/good players anyway. Why spend a FH just so you can have a few extra poor players in a week when you'll probably be fine anyway?

Of the two, which makes most sense to ye?

any news on traore injury?

keep or sell before price drop

Good double and blank weeks ahead, should be some exciting rank volatility.

What are you doing? Anyone fancy an outrageous Sterling punt?

Mount and Vardy > Saka and Auba worth a -4?

What are the potential doubles in GW34? Seems like not many?

All chips available. Free hit 31 is happening. Are there going to be two more DGWs that are worthy of using bench boost and trip cap? Or is there a case to be heard for trip cap KDB / Auba this week?

Is it better to get Dendonker rather than Saka bearing in mind 31?

KDB doubtful. Aguero rotation risk. And that's the only players I've got for the DGW!

Foden essential

KDB or Pepe? Got Auba.

A) Sidibe to Aurier
B) Ings to Jota
C) Neither, save the transfer

feels silly losing Traore when I am struggling to field enough for gw31 to begin with?

Is anyone else worried that saving BB for GW37 could backfire, with the majority of matters settled at both ends of the table causing PL managers to rotate indiscriminately?

Mane owners holding this week ?

Hi all, rookie here trying to make sense of it all of when to use FH
As it stands I have 6 players playing in GW31 (VVD, TAA, Salah, Pope, Boly, Jiminez) plus a not nailed Snodgrass to make it 7.

Would I be better using my 3 FT (including 1 right now) to try to make that 10 for GW31, thus saving my FH for GW34? I have the right money to bring in Auba for Ings this week, but obviously if I don't FH in GW31, I shouldn't bring in Auba.

Considering the following to options:

A) Vardy + Barnes -> Auba + Saka for -4

Or

B) Ayew + KDB -> Auba + Saka for -4

I guess I better wait to we get more news on Vardy/KDB injuries?

Anyone looking at Alli for GW31 only?

Will sell for Bruno after...

I’m actually thinking of an aggressive wildcard now this week. Get 9-10 for blank 31 which is quite easy with Liverpool, Wolves, Pope/Taylor and Sarr. Bring in Dele Alli for the blank. FH then in 34/37. May even bench boost next week with the optimised wildcard squad

Stevens, Perez, Ings > Walker, Pepe(C), Jota (-8)?

Jota possibly being overlooked? Although understandable with Auba looking like a great option. I'm thinking about doubling up with Jimenez and GW31 is the icing on the cake really. Thoughts?

I'm a bit baffled what to to do here!

Traore, KDB, Vardy in my team all flagged and Ings set to drop in price (why?!)

Any ideas what to do with those?

KDB has messed up everything!

If on WC, is Cantwell -> Foden a no brainer after Pep’s comments?

FH31 no brainer here?

McCarthy(x)
TAA, Aurier, Fernández(x), Williams(x), Rico(x?)
Salah, Bruno(x), KDB(x), Saka(x), Cantwell(x)
Firmino, Auba(x), Ings(x)

Only 4 players, maybe 5 with Rico.

Henderson
TAA VVD Soyuncu
Salah KDB Traore Grealish
Ings Jimenez Vardy

Pope Lundstram Dunk Dendoncker

1 FT, 1.5 ITB

1. Vardy >> Aubameyang (would really change BGW31 plans and me FH or hits required - but high reward)
2. Grealish >> Sarr (aligns with non-FH BGW31 plan)

Thanks
