How to invest in Double Gameweek 29 without breaking your FPL team

Chaos is imminent.

The range of permutations and combinations of different strategies that are in play right now is quite a sight in the Fantasy Premier League eco-system.

Despite (previously) chipping away beautifully and finishing seasons strongly due to Blank and Double Gameweeks, I much prefer the simple part of analyzing the FPL pedigree of a player in the first part of the season compared to this chaos.

For me, judging a football player is much more fun than sitting with the fixture ticker and wondering how I can use my chips to get the optimum quantity and quality of players. But it is what it is and as one of my favourite characters from Game of Thrones, Petyr ‘Littlefinger’ Baelish rightly says:

“Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder and the climb is all there is.”

There is a definite opportunity here to make some strong gains and my thinking is that even if I don’t enjoy it, I must indulge. It still involves the basic principle of picking good FPL players, offers more upside than normal and once you can accept that this is how modern FPL works, you start to enjoy it. Personally, though, I try to find a good balance between the quantity and quality of players as it is rather foolish to just focus on one.

Keeping this in mind, I’m going to look at two things in particular in this article. I’m going to touch on a lot of important factors you need to consider while deciding your chip strategy. What I’ll try doing is lay down some foundations which might help make you arrive at a few decisions. Then I’m going to look at players on offer from Manchester City and Arsenal and let you know my thoughts about them.

DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 29 PLAYERS

Arsenal

MANCHESTER CITY

FPL Gameweek 17 team news and injury updates

When it comes to Manchester City, I’ve noticed that in general the community is not always keen on indulging in some ‘Pep-Roulette’. Personally I always fancy a flutter.

I’m always up for a roll of the dice and as my good friend from the boards FPL Rhinos says, ‘we don’t always get it right but when we do, the rank boosts are huge’. And why wouldn’t they be?

We’re talking about a team that has scored the most league goals this season and when it comes to offensive statistics, they’re considerably higher than second place for all the important stats (short and long term).

My analysis of Manchester City will be more subjective than the Arsenal analysis since all of us know about the statistics when it comes to the city assets.

The Citizens play Manchester United and Arsenal in this Double Gameweek and afterwards, they host Burnley in Gameweek 30 and Real Madrid. These four games all come inside a 10-day period so we could absolutely see a fair amount of rotation.

That said, if you’re not Free Hitting in Double Gameweek 29, I think the presumption is hoping for two out of three starts from the next three games for your Manchester City assets.

Even De Bruyne could part of that now we know that he has been dealing with a shoulder problem this week, so it will be important to pay close attention to Guardiola’s next press conference.

The big upside punt, in my opinion, is Raheem Sterling (£12.2m). He played the Carabao Cup final and was rested in the FA Cup game against Sheffield Wednesday so I think there is a high probability of him starting at least two out of the next three league games.

Despite Sterling’s obvious lack of form, I still rate him as a player and he will continue to get chances as a result of the team he plays for.

His effective ownership in the Top 10k will be very low so I think he’s a huge upside gamble that could pay off big time if you’re in the mood to roll the dice. Sterling is worth a captaincy shout if you’re chasing a huge total in your mini-league too.

His wing counter-part Riyad Mahrez (£8.4m) has looked dangerous every time I’ve seen him and is another high-upside punt for the Double Gameweek.

The former Leicester man did play in the FA Cup game against Sheffield Wednesday so the threat of rotation is probably higher for him than it is for Sterling, although that is purely my guess.

If De Bruyne is definitely out or not playing, Mahrez and Ilkay Gündogan (£5.2m) will likely share the corners and free-kicks, which is something to consider. Mahrez took a lot of them in the FA cup tie and at his price, I like him as a punt.

Another one that falls in the cheap-enabling-high-upside punt category that not many will go for and one that I’m considering is Phil Foden (£5.1m).

The youngster put in a man of the match performance in the EFL Cup final against Aston Villa and looked extremely threatening based on the eye-test.

Given what was said in the post-match press conference, I like the upside of this cheap punt because I think Foden has goals and assists in his locker. I also believe he could get the Burnley game at home in Gameweek 30 given most of the big-dogs will see a rest before all-important matches in the Champions League and FA Cup.

Aguero asking the question of non-owners as De Bruyne ticks over

When it comes to the strikers, I mentioned on my Twitter that Sergio Aguero (£11.9m) has an uncanny tendency of staying under the radar when it comes to a Double Gameweek.

Let’s not forget how overlooked he was last year before scoring a hat-trick against Arsenal in a Double Gameweek.

If De Bruyne is out, I would expect Aguero to be back on penalties and his goal scoring record and stats are known to everyone.

I completely understand why people don’t indulge though, given his price and rotation threat.

The good news here is that I already own him and I don’t think I’m going to sell. He’s scored two goals in the last two games and has looked his dangerous self.

At the back of my mind, I was hoping that Pep would play Aguero and Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) together in one of the double Gameweek games but unfortunately, that happened in the FA Cup.

Either way, an assured 90 minutes of Aguero is more than enough in most cases and if I don’t end up getting a noteworthy Double Gameweek asset, I might just put the armband on him and see what happens.

Jesus played a blinder against Real Madrid in the away tie so I’m optimistic about an Aguero start in Gameweek 30 against Burnley at home.

The game suits his skill set more of playing in tight spaces in a game City will dominate in possession so I’m looking to captain him in Gameweek 30 as well.

Jesus is a nice punt as well and his ability to play on the wings increases his chances of getting minutes in my opinion. When he is on the pitch, his goals to minutes ratio is absolutely outstanding.

Amongst the defenders, apart from the nailed-on Ederson (£6.0m), I do like Nicolas Otamendi (£5.0m) as a pick.

Laporte is injured and Otamendi’s goal threat from set-pieces is well documented. The Argentinian is well worth a punt in my opinion.

Based on the structure of your team, I think it is well worth throwing one high-end Manchester City gamble in there and just see what happens. It all depends on your plans for the Chips, Blanks and Double Gameweeks though, so I’ll give you some insight into what I am thinking right now.

My Chip Strategy

Does early FPL team news really provide an advantage?

It is difficult to cover the various kinds of chip strategies in a single article since it is all very specific to your team. What I will do though is list a few important factors that could help you make a few decisions.

There are a lot of variables at play right now and there is no right or wrong strategy in my opinion.

Before you read about them, I suggest you read how the Gameweeks are going to look in the future here, have a look at what Neale wrote about chip strategy here and *then* have a read of my article.

While looking at how to use your chips, what I’ve seen a lot of people do is just look for opinion and read without actually sitting down with their own team. Take note of the fixtures, sit with a pen and paper and list down 2-3 options of your own. What you will learn after looking at two to three scenarios is what compromises you’re making and what you’re gaining in each scenario.

After that, you have to decide for yourself which one has the most gain for your team, because how different Fantasy managers see different Gameweeks is very subjective.

Some people might look at a Manchester City rotation-heavy Double Gameweek as poor Double Gameweek whereas some see it as a Double Gameweek with massive upside. Some might see Spurs vs West Ham as a fixture with a lot of goals while others might see it as a not so exciting fixture.

From what I understand, the concise and relevant information is this:

  • We could have 0 to 4 teams with a Double Gameweek in Gameweek 34. We could have a few Blanks or no Blanks in Gameweek 34. The rest will all obviously be single games.
  • We are likely to have a Monster Double Gameweek in Gameweek 37.
  • We could maybe have a triple Gameweek or another small Double Gameweek in the future (maybe for Sheffield United and Aston Villa).
  • The likelihood of the same team having a Double Gameweek in both Gameweek 34 and 37 is low.
  • We will find out a lot more about Gameweek 34 and Gameweek37 after Gameweek 31.

Do the opportunity cost Analysis

So many people are asking if they should Free Hit in Blank Gameweek 31 or save it for later. In such scenarios, what I recommend is to do an opportunity cost analysis. You need to weigh what you are gaining against what you may potentially gain in the future.

The way I look at it, most of us have three Liverpool players and anywhere between one to three Wolves players – and the two stand-out fixtures in Gameweek 31 are Liverpool vs Crystal Palace and Wolves vs Bournemouth. A lot of people own Nick Pope (£4.8m) as well.

If you can get six to eight of these players in Gameweek 31 for free then it might be worth saving the Free Hit for later.

Also note that if you are bringing additional players for non-playing players in Gameweek 31 for a hit, it is a two-point hit and not a four-point hit.

Now the analysis that you need to do here is make a potential Free Hit Gameweek 31 team and judge that the gain that you make getting three to six players out of Aurier, Alli, a goalkeeper, Antonio, Sarr (and not losing points in hits) is going to be bigger than the advantage you gain by Free Hitting in Gameweek 34, 37 or 38.

While doing the opportunity cost Analysis for transfers in Double Gameweek 29, it is worth noting that a lot of our Single Gameweek assets have really good fixtures and teams like Wolves, Watford and Liverpool have good fixtures in Gameweek 29 and Gameweek 31 so be careful before losing them depending on your plan.

Wolves have good fixtures till the end of the season and a really good run until Gameweek 32. This makes me think that buying them for a hit even this week is not a bad option as it gives a greater run of fixtures for them to repay it.

Arsenal have good fixtures until Gameweek 32 with the exception of a blank in Gameweek 31. They have Norwich at home in Gameweek 32, so buying them is not a bad idea at all.

What if I Wildcard now?

As mentioned on the most recent Scoutcast which you can see here, if you Wildcard now, there are a couple of ways in which you can approach this.

The now famously known Jarvish Strategy is a high-risk approach that could pay off. There are two approaches here. Go heavy on Gameweek 29 with four to six players, Get seven to 10 Blank Gameweek players so that way you attack both Gameweek 29 and 31 in one go. That leaves you with a Free Hit and a Bench Boost for Gameweek 34 and Gameweek 37.

But you should know that this will require a keen eye on Gameweek 37 fixture announcements and a fair amount of forward planning.

Also, you don’t need to be ultra-aggressive in Gameweek 29 or 31 but have fairly good teams for the same if you want to keep a keener eye on Gameweek 34 and 37. The balance here is for you to decide. What fixtures to anticipate can be found in the article here.

The opportunity cost analysis here is going aggressive in 29 and 31 at the cost of not having more information for Gameweek 34 and 37 (one of which you will have a Free Hit for).

Another inverse approach here is to Wildcard in Double Gameweek 29, Free Hit in 31 and load up on options that are likely to have a Double Gameweek in 34 and 37 through some predictive planning.

By the law of averages, players that blank in Gameweek 31 should have a Double Gameweek in the future. Thanks again to Jarvish from the FFS boards for this strategy.

If I don’t Wildcard now, when do I Wildcard?

If you’re not Wildcarding right now, the best time to Wildcard is post-Gameweek 31(either in 32/33 or 35/36 It depends on when you decide to play your Bench Boost and Free Hit chips).

I think you can decide when to Wildcard having more information in Gameweek 31 and then taking a call on when to play your Free Hit and Bench Boost chips. It is worth considering here that a lot of players could be irrelevant in Gameweek 37 depending on the ‘Beach’ or ‘Spartan’ status of their team so definitely keep an eye on that.

Is Gameweek 34 Navigable without a Free Hit?

If Gameweek 34 is going to be a small Double Gameweek and you want to Bench Boost in Gameweek 37, I think Gameweek 34 is fairly navigable with a Wildcard in Gameweek 32/33. It won’t be optimal but definitely navigable as you don’t always need to have a full quota of Double Gameweekers. If you Wildcard post-Gameweek 31 without a Free Hit, it’s worth looking at Gameweek 32-Gameweek 38 as a full block of fixtures based on which you will decide your team. Do note that you will have three free transfers to convert three Double Gameweeks from Gameweek 34 to Double Gameweekers in 37.

What if you don’t have a Wildcard?

If you’ve already used your Wildcard, I would look at making sure you have a decent captain in Gameweek 29, like Mohamed Salah (£12.8m). I’d also focus on Wolves and Liverpool players who have good fixtures right until Gameweek 32 and then take it from there once you have more information with regards to Gameweek 34 and Gameweek 37. Arsenal players who have good fixtures till Gameweek 32 with the exception of a blank in Gameweek 31 might be a good investment too. Might be worth getting a decent number in Gameweek 31 (six to nine players), then focusing on either Gameweek 34 or 37 with transfers and Free Hitting in the other Double Gameweek.

Is Free Hitting in Double Gameweek 29 a good idea?

If you are chasing and don’t have a good bunch of Single Gameweekers for 29 as well, Free Hitting in Gameweek 29 is not a bad idea at all. But for this to work, you need to have four or five players already in place for Gameweek 31. You then have two free transfers and a few hits to get more players in Gameweek 31. Then depending on your team and how post Gameweek 31 plays out, you can decide when to Wildcard.

What if Gameweek 34 is a Single Gameweek?

If Gameweek 34 is a single Gameweek and if you’ve not Free-Hitted earlier, it might be worth using the Free Hit in Gameweek 38 as it will be a good re-distribution of funds from Gameweek 37 and we could get some relevant information in the form of ‘beach teams’ vs ‘spartan teams’, likely starters and early team news.

I promised a shorter article last time around, but given the nature of the Gameweek, I’m hoping this is useful for you. Play your own game, don’t be too afraid of gambles or hits and enjoy the chaos! For those interested, I’m currently sitting at overall rank 1614. Thanks to my friends Jairzinho and AK for reviewing this article and to Marz and Heskibo from twitter for being a soundboard.

Good luck and hope you enjoyed this!

    Got 1 FT. Should I save it for next week? Plan is to go McCarthy, Soy, Maddison, Calvert-Lewin->Pope, Aurier, Sarr, Deeney for a -4 over the next game weeks before GW 31. Then I will potentially have 11 starting if Rico and Traore play in 31.

    McCarthy (Button)
    Alexander-Arnold, Robertson, Söyüncü, Doherty (Rico)
    De Bruyne, Maddison, Salah (Traoré) (Cantwell)
    Aubameyang, Jiménez, Calvert-Lewin

    The OR #2 player has used all his chips. Obviously he has played the game the right way due to his ranking, but can't see any strategy when you use your BB in a normal GW and the FH when you already have a full playing XI. Fantasy is a game of luck, of course. But you can still put in the effort to have the best odds possible to success. Yet it seems like some are just too lucky, such undeserved haha 🙂

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      I would argue he hasn’t played the ‘right way’ as we have over 25% of the season to go and he has no chips. Going to fall like a stone and be lucky to finish top 1k from here.

      1. farmerfat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        I disagree, I think he will be in a very good spot to finish top 100 with some decent planning.
        Whether you use your chips in a single or double, if they work, they work.

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA

      Give him his dues. He’s world number TWO!

  3. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Which? (Currently on -4 already, will make it -8)

    A) ings/dcl -4 to jota
    B) perez -4 to sarr
    C) none

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Don’t like either for a hit

    2. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      None, buy Sarr next week.

  4. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years

    Guys, Which move would you do? Thanks 🙂 WC, FH, BB intact.

    A. Lunds >> Doherty
    B. Vardy >> Aubameyang
    C. Ings+KDB >> Aubameyang+Sarr (-4)
    (If KDB ruled out)

    McCarthy
    Aurier / Trent / Soy
    Bruno F / Salah / KDB* / H. Barnes
    Jiménez / Vardy / Ings
    (McGov, Traoré*, Lunds, Rico)

    1. YuvalFPL
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Vardy and Lund to Auba and Doherty sounds good - can you afford?

      I also have 3 chips intact. Giving me a headache.. whats your strategy going forward for them?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        I certainly can’t afford both. They are both big upgrades. 1.9itb.

        FH31 or just field 8 players.
        WC after that.
        BB in the biggest double.
        FH in the other double if not used in 31.

        1. YuvalFPL
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

          I am in a similar position. Want at least 9 solid players for 31 otherwise i'll FH.

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 23 days ago

            Which option above then mate??

            1. YuvalFPL
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 23 days ago

              Vardy to Auba if I had to choose. Auba is essential for this week.

              1. StoichkovFPL
                • 8 Years

                • 7 Years
                4 years, 23 days ago

                Is he really? Or just getting hyped on here/twitter. I might still get but Vardy could also easy outscore him

                1. Roysgotnoboys
                  • 9 Years
                  4 years, 23 days ago

                  I went Vardy > Auba and regret it, wish i'd done Martial> Maddison

                  1. Roysgotnoboys
                    • 9 Years
                    4 years, 23 days ago

                    *Martial > Mahrez

                  Avl is no punching bag, plus lei is not on good condition.

                3. YuvalFPL
                  • 13 Years
                  4 years, 23 days ago

                  best striker in the league, will likely will golden boot again. needs to come back strong after that miss in europa. will very likely play 180 minutes. I struggle to see how he isn't the most essential player this week.

                  1. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
                    • 4 Years
                    4 years, 23 days ago

                    But is it worth to take more hits / play fh31 because u really wanted to get Auba in? That is the main question

                  2. RAFA THE GAFFA
                    • 7 Years

    Who would you have for the next 2 GWs?

    A. Jota (BHA & Nor)

    B. Ings (New & WHU)

    1. YuvalFPL
      • 13 Years

      Jota's form is too good to ignore.

    2. King Kohli

      4 years, 23 days ago

      Jota

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Depends if B can find form. A as it stands. B has the better fixtures imo

    4. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      B
      I removed him and brought him A

      Since I had brought in B, he has just scored 1 goal , before that he was unstoppable

    5. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      You messed up fixtures 🙂 it's:
      Jota (BHA&whu)
      Ings (NEW&nor)

      Ings for me.

  6. YuvalFPL
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Morning all.

    What is the best transfer for this week? I'm £0.1m short of doing Traore to Pepe which would have been ideal.

    McCarthy
    TAA, Doherty, Stevens
    Salah, KDB, Martial, Traore
    DCL, Auba, Jimenez

    Button, Taylor, Hayden, Williams

    1FT, £3.5m ITB.

    All replies appreciated.

    Can't help thinking the mass clamour to bring in Auba for this DGW is going to come back and bite people. West Ham's form picked up then Man City away. Add in that you will automatically feel obliged to captain him over the likes of Salah and a blank in GW31. Hmmm

    1. YuvalFPL
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      There is a very strong chance that he plays 90 minutes more than Salah. It's the sensible and smart decision. Play the probability.

      1. scottmac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Not necessarily the sensible and smart decision, depends on whether you have to take hits, even before you have to either bench or get rid in GW31. Besides, I would rather have Salah over 90 mins against Bournemouth at home

        1. YuvalFPL
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

          agree to disagree. best striker in the league with a double gameweek? no brainer.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      Need Mane benching for any big haul possibility.

    3. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

      What's this West Ham for you are talking about? Beating Southampton? They conceded 14 goals in their previous 5 Prem games.

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years

        *West Ham form

        1. HamezMace
          • 9 Years

          Very much this.
          WHU have found a way to score, but still conceding plenty.

        Just seen something in the last two games to suggest they are up for the fight and they won't rollover against Arsenal. Could be wrong

      Captain Salah and enjoy points and green arrow, why so bothered about other FPL managers?

    ​How many DGW players are you going into GW29 with, and will you captain one of them over the likes of Salah and Mane?

    ... and for those like me, who are still undecided, who are you considering?

    Pepe, Saka, Aubameyang, De Bruyne (if confirmed fit, which looks unlikely), Foden and Aguero are all on my Watchlist... and look good options for GW29 and 30.

    1. YuvalFPL
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Captaining Auba, have KDB. Very keen to bring in Pepe. Will mean either swapping him for Martial or taking out Traore and using a hit.

    2. No Totti No Party
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Auba or Salah is my dilemma, Auba is ahead

    3. TiAgoFPL
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Auba (c) KDB (v)

        Nice, late fitness test for De Bruyne, according to The Guardian.

        1. TiAgoFPL
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

          What's your decision ? Going to avoid or jump ?

          1. avfc82
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 23 days ago

            Avoid, unless Pep says he's 100% ready to go.

    4. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      IMO... All the City picks will rotate. All the Arsenal picks are poor except Auba who can also be hot and cold.

      Already have Kev, might get Auba. No one else interests me in the slightest

    5. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Have Aguero. Likely going in on Pepe + Nketiah.

      1. Lateriser 12

          good luck. brave and I like it.

          do you think martial > pepe is wise considering I have traore and KDB who might be injured?

        Not tempted by Aguero cap?

        1. Lateriser 12
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          No. Instinct with Pepe today.

      3. toontastic
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Likewise, but I’m weighing up Pepe and Nketiah versus Auba and Foden.

        What do you think

      4. Mingo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Rapidly becoming King of the maverick thinkers! I'm pretty much avoiding it all together. I have KDB and don't want to tear my team up for Sergio, Auba, Pepe etc. The plan was to work towards an optimum GW31 without too many hits and I'm sticking to it.

      5. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        For a -8? Removing who? Bruno?

    6. Sterling Archer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Pretty much ignoring it! I have KDB, my team nearly all have good games, taking hits to get them out looks wrong!

    7. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Captain Salah.
      1 dgw player wiz auba

    8. Young Müller Bebe
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Half tempted to play the wildcard this week and bring in Pepe, Auba and Saka while switching up some of my defence to Doherty and Burnley's Taylor.

      1. Energetics
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Exactly what I did.

        Ramsdale upgrades to Pope.
        Rico to C Taylor.
        Boly to Doherty.
        Cantwell to Saka.
        Vardy to Auba.
        Ings to Jota.

        Did have to downgrade Robbo & Fernandes to Otamendi & Sarr but fits long term plan. Robbo back in 31 and Fernandes back in 32.

        1. Energetics
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

          Also Pepe in there for Traore

    9. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      City will rotate so its a single GW for them.
      Arsenal picks are meh and that extra game vs City doesnt change anything for me.
      I have KDB. Salah (c).

      1. avfc82
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Yeah I think they'll rotate, but that Arsenal home game is appealing, and players like Aguero and Mahrez can still make an impact from the bench. I totally get why you're avoiding tho.

        1. StoichkovFPL
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

          If it was free move and there was no BGW soon and it would be long term move (probably will WC soon after BGW31) than fine but in this situation I just ignore this DGW with only KDB in my team.

          1. Pieterke30
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 23 days ago

            Would u have capped KDB if no injury doubt? I would have I think, but now might not dare to.

      2. Energetics
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        They won’t rotate the entire team. Just if your willing to roll the dice that your player is one of those who plays twice.

    10. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Auba (c) KdB, and Saka.
      Brought the Arsenal guys in for free.
      I actually wasn’t planning to as I’m building to 31 without FH.
      But with the KdB news I didn’t want to risk captaining him and felt Auba was the next best captain possible (WHU very poor defensively).

      I can still get 10 in 31 without hits so I’m quite happy with that.

      1. avfc82
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Sounds like you're pretty well set up mate, good luck.

        1. HamezMace
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

          Well two of the ten in 31 play for WHU so it’s not perfect, but I’ll chance it.

          Good luck to you too Tom.

    11. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      On a wildcard an currently looking at KDB, Auba and Foden

      1. Energetics
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Only 3 despite wildcard?

        1. Jullepuu
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

          Yes. Plan is to field 11 without hits in gw 31. I don't want any Arsenal or City defenders and all the attackers are likely to be rotated. Pepe and Kun seem decent but they just cost too much. I toyed with Bilva but left him out

      2. avfc82
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Love that Foden pick.

        1. Jullepuu
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

          Thanks. Would make sense that he plays against Burnely as well. Tierney is a serious threat for Saka's playing time

          1. Jullepuu
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 23 days ago

            *Burnley

          2. Link
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 23 days ago

            After Arteta's comments - I don't think he'll be ready for West Ham or thrown in away at City:

            "I don't know [when he will be ready to play]. He's done two or three complete sessions now. He's feeling more and more confident now with contact around him and hopefully he will join in the squad soon."

            1. Jullepuu
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 23 days ago

              I don't think that either but he is fit. He just hasn't been able to take contact. He has been running for a while. Tierney is very likely to start against Brighton and Foden has a decent chance of starting against Burnley. That makes him better for my team.

    12. MrZ
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      6, currently on Auba (C)
      Still undecided between pepe or saka for the arsenal 3rd spot

    13. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Four: Auba, Pepe, KdB & Mahrez(C)

      1. avfc82
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        If Mahrez starts the Arsenal game, that could be gold.

        1. jia you
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

          Cheers mate, punty but I'm down over the half mill mark in OR so nothing to lose 🙂
          (City feel better assets to punt on armband wise despite the rotation risk imo as WHU seem to have improved recently)
          GL for the GW mate
          (also, very nice article Lateriser...enjoyed the read)

    14. Energetics
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Wildcarded.

      Definitely going with Auba, Pepe and Saka.

      Currently on KDB and Otamendi, but if KDB was confirmed out will go with Aguero instead.

      Set up so have 11 players 31 with two free transfers.

      1. avfc82

        So the strategy Jarvish talked up? Interested to see how that plays out, good luck.

        1. Energetics

          Thanks!

    15. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Only have KDB. Transfers already done.
      On BB this week , might cancel it if he’s out. Would mean benching DCL,Lascelles,KDB and One of Sarr or Perez though.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Captain on Salah

    16. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Aubameyang (c) and Foden most likely

    17. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Aubameyang, Mahrez and Sterling(c). -8 taken.

      1. avfc82
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        Sterling captain, that could be huge.

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years

          a huge red arrow?

            • 10 Years

            Possibly 🙂

    18. Link
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Wildcarded and going with 4 doublers, and 9 who play in 31 in order to get out 11 with 2 FT's.

      Looking at stats and the amount of chances/crosses West Ham have shipped on their right-hand side - makes Auba and Saka dead certs for me.

      As for City, punting on Mahrez as he looked great in last game. Then it's either KDB (with Wood) or Aguero (with McArthy)

      1. avfc82
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Sounds like you've got a plan, which is more than most on here ha, good luck!

        1. Link
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

          You know the Tyson quote about plans and being punched in the mouth? That's how I'm feeling about mine.

          Feel City is a lottery no matter what but Mahrez and Aguero seem like they have the potential for the biggest hauls. I've had Kev from week 1 but all good things...

    19. Wet Knee Houston
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Only have Auba (TC, as it's my best opportunity to use it outside of GW37, which is must better suited to BB). Would be tempted by others if they would bring a big + to my current team, which i don't think they do (MCI with one tough fixture, one medium and then another medium one in GW31, also most of them will play 180 min max in those 3. At their prices, no, thanks).

      Tempted by Pepe, but there are only two scenarios to bring him in: A) for Mane (-4); B) Pepe and Nketiah for Ings and Perez/Barnes (-8). I'm pretty happy with my GW31 situation with Mane included, so ditching him would be a unnecessary gamble. Also, although SOU and LEI assets are apparently not in good form, i really trust them against NEW and AVL (anyway, more than Pepe+Nketiah -8, as i'm not convinced that Nketiah, for example, who until 2 weeks ago had a grand total of 17 minutes played in the league, will suddenly check his third and fourth 80+-minutes-game in a row).

      But if Mane doesn't start, Pepe (-4) is in.

      1. avfc82
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        That's the issue this week, I'm seeing so many hits flying around removing Ings, Vardy, Barnes, Perez etc, when they have fantastic fixtures. Would be much easier if they were away at one of the top teams.

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

          I’ve ignored this weeks DGW and took hits to bring gw 31 players in like Jota,Sarr and Doherty.

          1. Pieterke30
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 23 days ago

            Im tempted to do that too tbh. A -8 with no Arsenal player and only KDB as DGWer

    20. Burger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Jota(c) here, hold me,

    21. The Rumour Mill
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Can't understand the interest in Foden and Saka. Rotation risks, low points potential and blank in 2 weeks time, awful picks.

      KDB injured so no interest there.

      Aguero v Auba is a lot closer than people think in terms of points potential, however I want to captain a DGW player and the risk of cameos for Aguero rules him out unfortunately.

      Pepe is interesting but very unpredictable. He's not entirely nailed either. For the price he is I'd rather have Salah & Mane for a bit more money who have the same amount of fixtures over the next 3 gameweeks, better fixtures, and also offer a captaincy option in GW31.

    22. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Auba, KDB, Saka so far...might add in Foden or Sarr

      Woudl love Pepe but can't get him in without dropping Mane or Salah

    23. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Auba has blanked multiple times in a row on just two occasions this season (unless a goal and red card is counted as a blank). Irresistible captaincy material.

    24. Dybala10
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Bringing Auba (c) in for Vardy and that's me done.

      I dropped KDB for Bruno a few weeks back and my thoughts haven't changed, especially now he is a doubt. City are not exactly concentrating on the league and they are not the same force as before.

      Might be stupid but happy to ride me luck and see how the above does for me.

    25. Ariaga II
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      I only have KDB, but want to get an Arsenal player too. Got two choices:

      A) Aubameyang to Ings for a hit (Soy to Saiss).

      B) Grealish to Pepe.

      Aubameyang is a great choice, but my ML rival has Ings, so I feel there’s no need to take a risk when I’m defending a lead.

      Any thoughts?

      1. tokara

    26. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      KDB and Kun(c) for me. Feels wrong selling aguero for auba. Could get saka for a hit but that feels wrong as well with Tierney back

    27. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Think I may keep Vardy over Auba and bank the transfer

      Sarr and Alonso of interest also

    28. Feyzi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Foden or Nketiah for me; both will be worth the money for a DGW but neither worth a -4 so need to choose...

    29. scubasmithy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Auba (C), KDB, Saka

    30. Pinturicchio10
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Aubameyang (c). That's it I think. Save ft.

        My original plan was to stick with KdB as only dgw player and take no hits. Did Dunk to Doherty early to get gw31 player in.

        KdB injured and no DCL playing gw 31 was bad news. So with exact money I did do KdB to Sarr and Ings to C Auba for -8. Not happy with it, especially losing Ings with good fixture, but my team is now in good shape for gw31 (8 players now) and I saved my WC and have still FH and BB.

        Taking hits to get a dgw player with armband and to field decent player gw31 is not as bad as -8 would normally be. I hope so, at least 😉

          best of luck to you! I went even crazier! I just fancied a proper gamble to have a go at gaining some ground in the longer term.

          So this is my -12

          Vardy to Jiminez – bit risky, but Vardy blanks in 31 and Jimi has (BHU, whu, BOU, avl)

          Ings to Jota – as above

          Traore to Fernandes – no brainer, Fernandes blanks in 31, but great fixtures and form after city and is Traore going to start?

          Dendonker to Saka – had to get rid of Dendonker anyway due to triple wolves and Jota above, Saka has double this week then Brighton and Norwich either side of blank 31

          Reckon I'll do well to break even over 3 weeks but it does mean I don't need to free hit and I can keep my wildcard also

        One defender from City will haul, maybe Ota

      4 years, 23 days ago

      What's the better move here?

      A) Lundstram to Saiss this week (play Lascelles this week)

      or

      B) Wait until next week to do Vardy + Lundstram to Jimenez + Doherty

      Rdy to go
      Hendo /Pope
      TAA Gomez Doherty /Basham Taylor
      Salah Mahrez KDB Saka /Doucoure
      Auba Jimmy Jota
      FH BB after GW 33, will see when...

    33. BobB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      If City prioritise the ECL and FAC going forward, will Mahrez and Jesus get more minutes than KDB and Kun?

      1. n-doggg
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Not more than kdb. Probably assume Mahrez plays 70% of the time as a good outcome

      Thoughts on WC team

      Pope Button
      Rico Doherty Taa Gomez Aurier
      Salah Saka Barnes/Doucoure Dendo Sarr
      Kun Auba(C) Jota

      CHEERS!

    35. Kaiser123
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Doing a Ings to Jota is really only 2 point hit if you factor in GW31. Jota plays BHA, who could ship a few. Not convinced Sou will have that much joy against New. New will want revenge against Sou from early in the season. Sou will be on the beach when they are safe. Can see Wol fighting to the end.

      1. n-doggg
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        It’s a good long term move but Ings could easily out score Jota over the next two so not worth a bit imo

        1. Kaiser123
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

          Something up with Sou. They are reverting to early season form again. Long seems to be more dangerous than Ings now.

          1. n-doggg
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 23 days ago

            Maybe. Those fixtures though... hold until the blank

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years

              Those wolves fixtures though....I prefer jota

        Looks like a really nice team, would like to have that myself! I'd go Kiko first sub

    37. FPLShaqiri
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      What's the deal with David Silva? Out of favour or will he get a start in the DGW? He's unsigned in an 8 man draft league, wondering whether to grab him

      1. n-doggg
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Not a bad pick, depends who you are trading him with

        1. FPLShaqiri
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

          Would be for Siggy, who I am hoping to trade out for Sarr. Currently I am thinking (if I miss out on Sarr) I'd rather have Siggy as Silva hasn't played much - is this for any reason?

          1. n-doggg
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 23 days ago

            Yeah, hold for Sarr

    38. Tsparkes10

      Got priced out yday so save FT?

      Hendo
      TAA Robo Stephens
      KDB Salah Bruno Traore
      Jimenez Vardy Ings
      (Martin, Cantwell, Rico, Williams)

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Free hit 31? If not Ings to Jota wouold be a decent shout.

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

          Yh mate. Most likely

    39. BobB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Other than Auba, Saka is a decent bet. Great price, nailed on for now, TAA-lite for assists.

      1. n-doggg
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Transferred him in last night for grealish. Worth a punt for a few weeks at least

      2. MrZ
        • 9 Years

        Better than pepe?
        Seriously considering him... On wc now

        1. n-doggg
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

          Obvs not better than pepe. Get him if you can fit him in

          1. MrZ
            • 9 Years

            • 8 Years

            And he is bench fodder when needed as he is 5th midfielder

      3. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        He is playing left back and doesn’t get clean sheet points. No thank you

        1. HamezMace
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

          I asked about this yesterday re.Saka.
          I was told that with the system Arsenal play, Saka is basically playing as a winger, like Mendy does at City. For 4.6m he’s worth a punt for the next two weeks.

          1. IRBOX ⚽
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 23 days ago

            I strongly disagree but good luck

            1. HamezMace
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 23 days ago

              Cool. Good luck to you too.

          2. Jullepuu
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 23 days ago

            Tierney might take the lb spot though

            1. HamezMace
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 23 days ago

              It’s possible of course.
              But all the top teams have two players for each position.

              I don’t see why Tierney would get in ahead of Saka given how many minutes he’s played this season so far.

              1. Jullepuu
                • 4 Years
                4 years, 23 days ago

                You could be right but Foden seems like a better option to me. Costs more though

                1. HamezMace
                  • 9 Years
                  4 years, 23 days ago

                  I’d back Saka to play more minutes over the next 3 games than Foden personally.
                  Doubt there will be much in it either way, he was more an enabler to get Auba in.
                  Lost Grealish to get Saka.

                  1. Jullepuu
                    • 4 Years
                    4 years, 23 days ago

                    I'm pretty sure that Tierney plays against Brighton but Foden has a decent chance of playing against Burnley. For my team that is better. I agree that Saka will probably play more in the next 2...next 3 not sure about that

            2. Holmes
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 23 days ago

              Not looking like he will play this week

              Read this on Arsenal website:

              Arteta on Kieran Tierney...
              I don't know when he will be ready to play but he's done two or three complete sessions now. He's feeling more and more confident now with contact around him and hopefully he will join the squad soon.

              1. HamezMace
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 23 days ago

                That’s good to hear, thanks Holmes

              2. Jullepuu
                • 4 Years
                4 years, 23 days ago

                He is fit because he has been training for a while now just not with contact. Saka is the more likely one to start in any case

            1. Wild Rover
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 23 days ago

              Hahaha.

      4. YuvalFPL
        • 13 Years

        Nico Pepe.

      5. Jullepuu
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Foden could be a better bet. Would make sense that he plays against Burnley as well

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years

      Consider that I play my WC this GW29

      McCarthy (Pope)
      Cathcart TAA Taylor Gomez Doherty
      Kdb Salah Mahrez Saka Sarr
      Auba DCL Jota

      Already have 9 players for BGW31 and planning to transfer in Alli for Mahrez

      Any ideas?

    41. Tsparkes10

      Patricio over Hendo.

      G2g for this DGW, although I avoided DGW options..... What do you guys think??

      Hendo
      TAA/ Robbo/ Doherty/ Stevens
      Salah/ KDB(c)/ Bruno/ Barnes
      Jimenez/ DCL

      Bench:: McCarthy/ Grealish/ Greenwood/ Lascelles

      1. n-doggg
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Got anything in the bank? Any free transfers. Kdb is a risk. Can you do grealish to saka or someone to at least have a dgw player instead of playing Stevens?

        1. FPL ElasticO
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

          No already used to get Doherty....

    44. Jay Arell
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Play Soy (AVL) or Stephens (NEW)

      1. Jullepuu
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Stephens

      2. JollyGoodYellows
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        I'm going for Stephens but I think it's luck with those two.

    46. Kuyt Hero

      Start Boly or Soy?

      1. Jay Arell

        Boly

      2. Jullepuu

        Boly
