Five-time top 1k finisher on Double Gameweek players, captaincy and chip strategy

Start cresswell or rudiger?

Will appreciate your thoughts guys on what to do with 2ft and 2.6itb? Scared of going Gundo-less.
1) Barnes Dallas/Coufal -> Rash Taylor/lowton. Keep current 3 City assets
2) #1 and Sterling -> Gundo for -4 for security of starts
3) Barnes Cancelo/Stones -> Gundo Mee. Double up on City attack and get Bur def
4) Sterling Barnes Johnstone -> Gundo Rash Pope for -4

Team is:
Martinez
Stones - Coufal - Cancelo
Son - Bruno - Sterling - Barnes
Laca - DcL - Antonio

Johnstone, Justin, Dallas, Raphinha

Start Saka or coufal?

I've only taking regular notice of these threads in recent seasons and much more so in the last 6 months.

I started looking at team picks on here around about 2011 or so, then articles then opinions. Only signed up x years back.

What is key is to spot the inconsistent and poor advice that is regularly offered and to ignore early.

There's some great people that dip in, spot who is making reliable calls.

But also loads of noise and regular posters just spouting off. I'd include myself in that recently, but would never say anything i hadn't previously thought through and believed made sense.

Ultimately a week to week call is subject to so much variance you've got to look season to season overall.

I'm amazed about the amount of aimless advice just thrown out.

So I'd say most of all think it through and make your own call.

Perhaps there should be a separate chit chat thread so those looking to talk simply can. And we can dip in and out of offering advice when thought through.

I've enjoyed it in lockdown so thanks for putting up with me.

Im still stuck on this...play Son or Bamford or have a dabble for a couple of weeks and transfer Son out for Rashford or James Rod, any advice appreciated cheers.

Need your help...

A) Digne and Soucek
B) Lowton and JamesRodriquez (-4)

Which DGW strategy sounds best? I have BB, TC, WC but no FH.

A) -4 Over 24,25,26 to get 4DGW24, 3/4DGW25, 11DGW26 + TC Kane, WC30, BB whenever
B) -8/12 Over 24,25,26 to get 4DGW24, 3DGW25, 13 DGW26 + BB, WC30
C) WC 25 to get 3DGW25, -4 in 26 to get 15DGW26 players + BB, YOLO 29/30

Stumped on what to do for next week though tbh. 6DGW already, but 5 are defenders. Probably Gundo(c). 2FT 4.5 ITB. Antonio/Watkins to DCL? Anything else/extra? Thanks as always guys!! 🙂

Areola (Martinez)
Cancelo Stones Digne Mee (Dallas)
Salah Bruno Son Gundogan(c) (Soucek)
Antonio Bamford (Watkins)

Feels tough benching any of the front 8 this week, and getting DCL not gonna help with that (particularly if I sell Watkins)

Have WC and TC left

BB26 is TC Sterling a good option this week??

Pep Guardiola on Kevin De Bruyne: "He is getting well. He is already training, not with the team but alone but is moving well. I cannot say [whether he will recover for the Champions League last 16]. It's day by day. What’s important is he is feeling very good."

Which will give more points..?
A. Sterling, Bamford, Pope
B. Son, Jrod, Pope
C. Sterling, Jrod, Bamford

Salah and Stones to Mee and Sterling (C) for a -8 ?

Totally confused on what to do this week
Have a couple of decisions to make

A) Roll the 1FT or MCCarthy to Pope
B) play Antonio or Bamford
C) play Maddison or Grealish or Salah
D) Salah to Sterling & Coufal to Dallas (-4)

Martinez
Stones, Mee, Cancelo, Digne
Salah, Bruno, Gundogan, Grealish
Bamford, DCL

McCarthy, Coufal, Maddison, Antonio

Any thought?

If you own 3 city is it best to stick with what you have or chase the upside on double attack?

Own sterling dias stones currently and looking at:

Stones to Lowton --> Soucek to Gundogan
Then Mitchell to Dallas next week

plan to play dias coufal awb this week, room for one more defender if Antonio doesn't play

Is Gundogan "essential" if i'm planning to captain sterling or the EO is going to hurt too much if he hauls?

Keen for a few opinions here, thanks
Team linked

Antonio, Maddison, Sterling
to
Werner, Son, Gundogan.
Worth a 4 point hit next week?

Is Antonio to DCL the move? Alternatively could lose Watkins (already on my bench), though that means benching one of Bamford/Son this week....

Team linked or above. WC/TC available

If Antonio is a doubt would you still save ft and play saka? 2.6m itb

Martinez
Digne stones Mee
Salah bruno Sterling gundo
Digne bamford Antonio

Forster saka coufal Dallas

Is Barnes nailed for both games, or he rotates with other forwards? Don't know why he didn't play 3 games in last 4, injury or just shite?

Mcarthy (FORSTER)
Pieter Rudiger Cancelo (Justin, Lewis)
Salah Fernandes Gundo SON (Soucek)
Antonio Bamford Dcl
(0 ft and 3.8mn itb)

Any option below worth a -4 hit? Any other suggestions welcome

A) Forster to Pope (Play Pope DGW 24 and Mccarthy DGW 25)
B) Son to Sterling

Play:
Coufal SHU
Maddison LIV
or
Bamford ars
?

Is it worth doing Antonio to DCL for free?

Pieters to start both games even if Taylor returns ?

26 is gonna be the one innit!!!

West Ham lads all become Leicester and Spurs assets, play BB..

Pope and Martinez

Salah

Vardy DCL Kane

Salivating!

Do we expect the official announcement of rearranged fixtures in GW26 before deadline of GW24?

Not really sure what to do with this team, any thoughts?

Pope (McCartthy)
Dias Stones Coufal (Justin, Dallas)
Gundo Son Bruno Salah Soucek
Antonio DCL (Bamford)

2Ft and 3.4ITB. Maybe bring in another Burnley defender?

What is this talk about Antonio being out? Have i missed something? Thanks all

Lose Raphina or Grealish this week for Sterling? Will prob wildcard 25

Play Anguissa (GWer) or Bamford?

Bench one of:

TAA, Watkins, Son

Was originally benching TAA but then remembered his last game at the KP...
