What the FA Cup fifth round ties will mean for the Blank and Double Gameweeks

Always on the bench for the hauls 😀

BB

Dare I say Salah

Easy Werner bench for me.

I know he has returned in the last couple but I think he's been lucky. Tuchel has other options for this game and with a dead leg he could easily be rested anyway

No predicting how City line up. Can go either ways.

My only worry would be both Cancelo and Sterling sitting one out.

Attack it is. Sterling will get points

Been debating similar as can afford Stones/Soucek > Lowton/Sterling to go with Cancelo and Gundo

The thing that puts me off is that the MITB enables me to get Kane for Antonio for 26 in 1FT, if I get Sterling now I'll need a new plan to get him

Just rested I think.

Due to an administrative error, Erik Pieters no longer plays tonight and Anthony Glennon will come in for the left-back.

He's suspended for this match.

if you were worried about having exact cash then you could do Soucek a week earlier (so effectively have an extra transfer net week)

Other than that you are in burning territory or a 1 week punt on someone instead of Soucek who you are moving on anyway (not that I can see anyone that is a better pick in the bracket)

Soucek to Rashford?

Most of them, yeah. Although the other outstanding games (COVID postponements) could also slot into DGW26.

Like any other over rated English footballer.

Man U will probably pay more

I honestly see someone splashing £80-90m for him

Yeah, all premier league teams so rich now takes ridiculous amount to pry away their top talent(zaha the perfect example).

Closer to 90-100 honestly. He is unreal fair play. In a better side surrounded by better playes he can become one of the best players on earth.

£40m buys you Semedo.
£50m Chilwell.
£60m Ndombele.
£70m Pepe and Havertz.

If I were Villa, I'd be wanting £100 based on that.

I love watching him but feel like he may be better running the show rather than too many stars around him.

Of course there would be better players on the end of the chances he creates but he will see a lot less of the ball

Wow. Can't believe any premier league club would pay £100m for him but like you say we've seen some horrendous purchases for not much less.

Can't see a top club coming in for him ; not in this financial environment.

Value is largely determined by player pushing for a move and selling club finances. We don't need or want to sell so it would have to be a huge offer, and even then Jack would probably need to ask to go.

No way in hell we allow him to leave for £70m

I'm doing it

He actually is a decent option. Will play both. But I might slap it on Gundo. Even if he does not play the full 90 in both, even a 60 per game should be good enough.

Him, Gundo or DCL

nope, I own him, but wouldn't be surprised to see them concede in both.

I was, but now the clean sheet odds are making me look at a City defender...

No too unexciting, if that's a word

BB26, FH29, WC30/31

Depends on the dgw fixtures in 26 for my team, probably same strategy as you though

Only BB WC left, probably BB in 26 and WC in an emergency.

WC25
BB26
FH29

Me

4 to 5 double gamers

I haven't really decided really. Seeing how FA Cup pans out.

I may BB this week, keep Leeds etc in team (e.g. benched) for GW26 & then make a couple of odd transfers to prepare for GW29.

Wikdcard after to sort it out.

Equally I may WC 25 and just take the hit in 29 if it looks like a rubbish week.

Waiting for FA Cup results...

If you want to captain Pope you might as well get Tarkowski on a hit and captain him. He most likely gets a goal on top of a claenie that you are hoping from Pope

It's insanity, let the crazy people blather.

Salah

Salah has shu in 26 at the moment, if he gets another good fixture in that GW, not owning him could hurt.

it's tough, have to wait and see the fixtures.

It probably doesn't make much sense to drop Son for Kane, but IDK.

Different story if you have no Spurs going into it.

Can't really answer till we see the two players form after the next few. Don't feel like it's a good idea to ship Bruno full-stop, especially with Pogba being out... depends how long for though.

Cheers guys. Exactly where my head is it.

Son

Don't care about the performance as 2nd team.

Tell me what it means for DGWs dammit! 😆

Dyche is such a troll

I have both on my bench at the moment: Son 1st, Soucek 2nd.

Your team looks amazing.

You already have two Leeds players for the double gw so I wouldn’t bring anymore in and just roll the FT to GW26

A

Didn't you already post this question and I answered it?

Probably White, ignoring the doubles.

Double up on spurs at the beginning

Gundo until now

Justin, followed by Soucek and then Cresswell.

Bambam until I got him a couple of weeks ago.

Had him from the start and got rid on wildcard gameweek 5, havent looked back since....thats a lie I kinda regret it...alot

You can get away without any one of those players.I

If Spurs lose to Everton in the Cup, there is a good chance they will double in 26 and play in 29 (which would be great for those of us without FH for 29), so I'd wait for that result before deciding.

i wouldn't wildcard for 1 player. I think you can get away without Son.

Or lose Salah if you must (I probably wouldn't).

You don't really need all 4, no need rip out your team just to get all 4.

When you are punting, it doesn't have to make sense. Especailly if it's a one week punt. Do it, but after the FA Cup games.

Could be gold.

I think A, Sanchez and Dunk if Brighton upset Leicester

Eh? DGW is 25. And yes, likely.

Possibly

Only triple captaining an attacker and Everton and Spurs are no turnovers. I’m looking at an attacker against Leeds or Soton in 1 of their doubles.

People being put off by the Pep rotation maybe.

Probably planning to have all 4

No. Reason being there's no guarantee they do well.

Not essential but if you have all 4 it can't go wrong.

Not essential but owning these 4 will probably make you feel secure & confident going into DGW.

Works for me
