How the top 10k FPL managers set their teams up for Double Gameweek 24

The top 10,000 Fantasy Premier League managers invested rather modestly in the transfer market during the build-up to Double Gameweek 24.

With Manchester City, Everton, Burnley and Fulham all facing two fixtures, it appears that Double fever did not hit particularly strong either in terms of squad set-up or chip usage.

From the template of most-owned players at this level, just six from a possible 15 were from those four Double Gameweek clubs.

As you can see from the matrix above, the defence was where most of the Double Gameweek investment occurred.

João Cancelo (£6.1m) remains the most-popular defender among top 10,000 managers, owned by 56.9% as of Saturday’s deadline.

John Stones (£5.2m) and Ruben Dias (£6.1m) complete a trio of Manchester City stoppers among the top-five in this position.

The former remains the second-most fashionable defender in the top 10k but Dias’ stock is falling slightly at this level.

He was owned by 42.1% of the top 10k in Gameweek 23; a figure that fell to 38.2% for his first benching of the campaign against Spurs.

Unsurprisingly, James Justin (£5.1m) has dropped out of the top-five drastically following his midweek knee injury.

The Leicester man was in 54.6% of top 10k teams when the previous deadline passed. 

Ahead of two fixtures in Double Gameweek 25, Stuart Dallas (£4.8m) appears to have been a popular replacement, firing himself back into the top-five most popular top 10k defenders with 51.9% ownership.

Alex McCarthy (£4.5m) has seen his stock fall once again, helped this time by Burnley’s Double Gameweek.

Nick Pope (£5.5m) replaces the Southampton goalkeeper in the matrix of most-owned players among the top 10k, although Emiliano Martínez (£5.2m) has tightened his control at this level.

58.5% of the top 10k owned him for Gameweek 23 and he earned a rise of 2.9 percentage points between the two most recent deadlines.

Ilkay Gündogan (£6.0m) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.7m) are the only template assets among midfielders and forwards to represent one of Manchester City, Everton, Burnley or Fulham.

And what particularly interests is how the top 10k have responded to Calvert-Lewin’s FA Cup hamstring injury.

Latest FPL injury news on Calvert-Lewin, Pope, Dias, Antonio and other key assets

Carlo Ancelotti ruled the forward out of the meeting with Fulham on Sunday, meaning Calvert-Lewin effectively faces just one fixture in Double Gameweek 24.

That the Toffees are likely to enjoy another Double Gameweek soon seems to have influenced the widely-taken decision to hold Calvert-Lewin.

He was in 47.9% of top 10k squads for Gameweek 23, his ownership at this level falling only as far as 45.9% for Double Gameweek 24.

The captaincy statistics show us how much of a differential Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) can be this week.

Despite not featuring among the top-five most-popular midfielders in the top 10k, he was behind only Gündogan for total armbands in Double Gameweek 24.

The German was overwhelmingly popular skipper, rewarding his 50.4% backing with 19 points in a 3-0 win over Spurs.

But Sterling managed to get himself at least an assist at the Etihad Stadium, which could help him rival Gündogan by the end of the round.

As things stand, the budget midfielder is awaiting an assessment for a groin problem and could be a doubt to face Everton on Wednesday evening.

Bruno Fernandes (£11.5m) managed to convince 9.7% of the top 10k to captain him despite facing just one match in Double Gameweek 24.

That is hardly a surprise, considering West Bromwich Albion have conceded at least twice in each of their last eight Premier League matches.

Meanwhile, the clamour for a Pope captaincy did not amount to too much among the top 10k.

1.9% backing is certainly more than we would normally expect for a goalkeeper, even one playing two favourable opponents, but it was only good enough for fourth-place among the top 10k’s favourite captains.

CHIP USAGE OVERALL

FPL managers gave the chips some consideration for Double Gameweek 24, although less so in the top 10k.

As you can see from the charts above, 3.2% of worldwide Wildcards were deployed this weekend.

2.5% deployed their Triple Captain while a similar number put their Bench Boost into action.

By comparison, the top 10k were less enthusiastic.

Just 2% went for a new squad, 1.6% went for an enhanced armband and only 1.5% had enough faith in their substitutes to pull the trigger on a Bench Boost.

    Only have 2 players in today's matches and don't even want one of them to do anything.

      same here, thought i had more until i saw your post
      Bruno & Bamford

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Imagine being a non Bruno owner!

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Bruno?

      I get the EO but it depends if its just about rank. Or the set up in your mini leagues.

      Not everyone has Bruno in the mini leagues so i still want points.

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Fair point, but I don't think I've seen a team without Bruno in any of my leagues for about 3 months.

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Just checked a few and there's a couple of teams without him in two leagues that I'm most interested in.

          He's also captain for 2 teams but that means they weren't on Gundog.

          A couple of my mates from Paris who are pretty good players year in, year out don't have Gundogan in.

          1. FourLokoLeipzig
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            That’s surprising. The nine above me in my main league all have Bruno. I don’t see why any serious player wouldn’t have him

            1. AC/DC AFC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Or Gundog?

              1. FourLokoLeipzig
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                One of them doesn’t have Gundo. That’s less surprising to me than not having Bruno though, as I could see someone thinking his form couldn’t last, and there are so many good City options. Definitely a mistake, but more understandable imo

            2. Paqueta Rice
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah, I mean you would want to be seriously silly really 😳

    4. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Bruno and Cavani here, neither captained but Bruno can assist a few Cavani goals.

  2. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Am I the only one not interested in Kane for the DGWs? Tearing apart my team for a Mourinho player just isn’t worth it

    1. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I must admit Vardy also interests me. But Kane is a lovely triple captain prospect for gw26

    2. tom_p77
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Their double in 26 should be juicy and they should have another appealing double later on which I wanna use TC for on Kane.

    3. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm interested in Kane, but he's just one of many in-form players. I have a top heavy attack with Laca, so will probably move for Kane, but I wouldn't sacrifice value in mf for him.

    4. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      i hope you're wrong... i held through injury

    5. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah Kane’s been awful this season

      1. HammersXI
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He has been awful but yet the highest scoring player hmm

    6. ebb2sparky
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Why do you need to tear your team apart to get him? Have you spread your funds across your squad too much? I’ve had over 5 mil in the bank ever since KDB’s injury so only need one transfer to get Kane so yes I’ll be getting him and quite possibly triple captaining.

  3. George Agdgdgwngo
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Are these sensible moves or should I look to wc?

    Gw25 Antonio to Ings (ft)
    Gw26 bamford, DCL, Johnstone & AWB > Kane, Brewster, Fabri & targett (8 point hit)

    FH29 no BB chip left

    Current team is

    Martinez, Johnstone
    Dallas, cancelo, Dias, awb, Coufal,
    Salah, son, Bruno, grealish, Gundo,
    DCL, bamford, Antonio

    1. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      gmwk25 YES
      wait on plans for 26... might fall good for your team

  4. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Are you still keeping Salah?

    1. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yet to decide if I want to sell him or Bruno for Kane in DGW26

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Me too. Tough decision

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes nice fixtures coming

    3. George Agdgdgwngo

      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    4. aleksaa2
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I sold before the City game, won't bring him in till WC in gw30/31

    5. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. Looking better recently and has the fixtures.

    6. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      if he gets DGW 26 yes

    7. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Great fixtures and in good form

    8. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Let's see, if Vardy is required, then I'll have to drop.

      As of now, going to just treat him as useless 5th mid.

    9. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  5. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Pope
    Cancelo, Dias, Mee, Dallas
    Bruno, Salah, Son, Grealish, Gundo Bamford
    [Martinez, Coufal, Antonio, DCL]

    With 2FT, A or B for this GW?
    Plan to BB GW 26.

    A. WC GW 25, buy Kane
    B. Antonio, Son, Mee -> Kane, Raphinha, Lowton (-4)
    C. Antonio -> Watkins
    Cheers 🙂

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      C

    2. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      it's the BB plan make it hard!
      would you not want Ings in 25?
      maybe Antonio + 1 other to Ings?

  6. kennethrhcp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    a strange 1 (imo anyway)

    Would you play Struijk (wol/SOU) over 1 of Stones/Dias (ars) in 25?

    will already be playing Dallas

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

      1. kennethrhcp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        cheers

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If he is going to start both games, yes.

      1. aleksaa2
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This

      2. kennethrhcp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        that's a big IF in my head... you reckon he keeps his spot?

        1. HammersXI
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          It's his spot to lose. Take it from a Leeds fan.

          Llorente has had a horror injury record since joining. and Koch is out till end Feb early March and Bielsa doesn't rush players back. If everyone is back then you would see both Struijk and Alioski being dropped. But it won't happen this month

          1. kennethrhcp
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks very much again!!! really helpful

        2. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Not sure tbh, don't really follow Leeds games and how their system work :/

          As per comment below, it seems like he is a starter for now.

          1. kennethrhcp
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            I'm in the same boat.

            Thanks as always for the replies Holmes!

      3. HammersXI
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He will start both games. Do note that leeds will be defensively weaker if KP is ruled out for both games.

        Struijk would only be dropped if Llorente / Koch is back which isn't for quite some time

        1. kennethrhcp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          cheers Hammer

    3. ebb2sparky
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn’t be surprised if there isn’t a clean sheet between any of them by the end of gameweek so probably makes little difference who you pick

      1. kennethrhcp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        fair comment

    4. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely. Wish I could get him in this week but will prioritise Dallas or Raphinha

      1. kennethrhcp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        cheers for that!

  7. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Barnes or Maddison going to be a real dilemma. Great fixtures and a DGW coming up.

    1. estheblessed
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Barnes looked good yesterday

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed, really tough to split

    3. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Barnes for me. He’s still improving and it wouldn’t surprise me to see him hit an extended purple patch, like Jota earlier in the season

  8. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you take an additional hit to have DCL and Raphinha instead of Grealish and Brewster?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. estheblessed
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure Grealish is a bit hit and miss. Class player but teams are doubling up on him now.

  9. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is it worth selling DCL (liv) or Antonio (TOT) if both are fit for a hit to get Ings (CHE, lee)?

    Both Pool & Spurs seem to be conceding goals for fun!

    1. estheblessed
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      See how Antonio does today. I think he'd be the one to lose as DCL has great fixtures

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Should have mentioned I'll be using WC in 26 so I can get DCL back even if I sell him.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Probably not

      Maybe Antonio to Ings

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        It would be for a week only will be using WC in 26.

      2. Je suis le chat
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This is my default plan.

    3. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      For a hit? Not for me unless Soton get the triple double, and even then I'd be iffy on it. Talking about DCL. Antonio can go.

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I'll be on wildcard next week so I can get Ings later also. Just doesn't seem worth it for one week I guess.

      2. No Kane No Gain
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        There’s talk of a triple double?!

    4. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Antonio. WestHam no DGW 26 im pretty sure
      Everton likely DGW26

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Is it worth it for one week though? Will be on wildcard next week.

        1. kennethrhcp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          im getting ings for Antonio next week if thats any help

    5. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      yes

    6. HammersXI
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Would get rid of Antonio. Fitness is an issue.Everton have better fixtures

    7. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Liv & Tot goal concessions are blips. They'll tighten up

  10. HammersXI
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Feels like I'm planning to bench points with this wildcard, how does it look?

    McCarthy (Martinez)
    Lowton Shaw Dias (Stones White)
    Salah Gundo* Son Raphinha Bruno
    Ings Bamford (Watkins)

    White / Watkins first sub if Gundo doesn't make it. Have 3m ITB to move out Ings and Raph the next game.

    Thoughts?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      WC in 26?

      1. HammersXI
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        WC this week. This is my WC team

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I am suggesting you WC in 26, not 25

          1. HammersXI
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            I kinda want to use BB / TC in 26. I only have 1 Leeds / Southampton asset now. and would need to take -4 just for Ings and Raph this week.

            This is my current team
            Martinez (Forster)
            Dias Digne Rudiger Lowton (Coufal)
            Bruno Salah Son Sterling Gundo
            Bamford (Antonio 4.3)

            1. Hotdogs for Tea
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              With bit of a tweak you have a very strong bench in 25, I would take a -4 and bench boost in 25, WC in 26 and concentrate the funds on a strong 11.

              1. HammersXI
                • 11 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                When would be a good time to TC then? I will be BB without a bench keeper at this rate and doubts on Dias / Gundo and Antonio which worries me. If all are fit then yes what you said would make sense.

                1. Hotdogs for Tea
                  • 8 Years
                  3 years, 1 month ago

                  there will be a couple of small doubles later in the season.

                  I would bring in Meslier, someone for the 4.3 forward and replace Gundo if he looks at risk - then a brand new team based on real live information in 26 without being stuck with too many Leeds and Soton

                  1. HammersXI
                    • 11 Years
                    3 years, 1 month ago

                    That's a -8 team tho. Worth to take such a hit?

                    I kinda want Raph and Ings but it means sacrificing Sterling instead of Gundogan

                      3 years, 1 month ago

                      add up the extra games, think about not missing out on points due to picking the wrong players to start and I think a -8 is then worth it. I should have brought in pope for an extra -4 this week but didn’t ...

                      I would also consider what hits you may have to take to get what you want in 26, also look at what a non BB team looks like in 26 and consider any hits you will save in 27 etc by having the latest information in your 26 WC

                      it’s the big picture you are buying with a -4 or -8, not just one game week

                      good luck though

      nice team!

      WC not locked in yet?

      we should know dgw26 fixtures before 25 deadline?

      1. HammersXI
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        THis is what I came up with. My current team is posted above. Am really unsure of what to do. I have Coufal Antonio and Gundo Forster who are liabilities if I BB next week.

        We should know the fixtures yes, but a late WC kinda defeats the purpose.

    1. Shark Team

        Martial in?

        1. Shark Team
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Ben Dinnery have him in his injury list so he won't be risked, maybe Martial Bruno Greenwood and Cavani can do the job

    Ah - the morning after a Triple Captain letdown. Such a familiar feeling...

    1. dogtanion
      • 14 Years

      Sterling ?

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        Yah - it's only halftime essentially, but not feeling optimistic.

        1. dogtanion
          • 14 Years

          He's my captain too..I actually just hope he plays..not even sure he will!

    2. el polako

      Bro I did Sane and Mane last two years, that's a let down.......

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I feel you. I triple captained Sane that year too.

        The fact I was Gundogan cap til late in the week is the biggest disappointment.

        A goal from Sterling vs Everton at least would soften the blow.

      2. Pep bites Kun

    Then WC26 to set up for BGW29?

    team is

    Areola - Johnstone

    Cancelo - Stones - Mee - Lowton - Dallas

    Raphinha - Fernandes - Salah - Sterling - McNeil

    DCL - Rich - Antonio

      like the 2 transfers this week

  14. Punty McPuntface

    Are people planning to use TC in gw26 because they used their bench boost already?

      Yes

  15. GoonerSteve
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Tricky knowing what's best for this week.

    Current squad

    McCarthy (Pope)
    Cancelo, Stones, Coufal, (Mitchell, Justin)
    Fernandes, Salah, Son, Grealish, Gundogan
    Bamford, Antonio (DCL)

    2ft, 0.9 itb.

    Thinking Justin to Dallas, leaves 0.8itb.

    Then maybe Grealish to Raphina leaving 3.3 itb which is just shy of what I need for Kane the following week.

    Or I could take a hit, bring in Kane and Dallas and go with Smith Rowe rather than Raphina, as bench fodder most weeks.

    Leaving towards just doing Dallas but I've been cautious both double gameweeks so far and although I've done ok, could have been so much better.

    Missed out on Antonio haul last time and was considering Lowton all week ahead of this one.

    1. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      try fit Ings in with 1 of the 2 FTs?

  16. No Kane No Gain

    Are we expecting digne to start later?!

    1. McSauce
      • 14 Years

      Hopefully yes

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    3. Dele
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes he was training this week

  17. McSauce
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Gundy injury? I missed it what happened / will he play he Everton?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Groin strain, will have to wait for press

    2. GoonerSteve
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Nobody knows yet.

      Could be a groin strain if so unlikely he will play.

      But could be nothing also.

    3. Dannyb
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Groin injury, looked like he was struggling.

      "We will see tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. He told me it was tight and he is intelligent to see it but we are going to see," said the manager.

      "If he is fit, he's going to play.

    7. PlayPercentage
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If it's a groin strain, I don't see Pep risking him in the midweek game.

    8. Salan
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I don't think Pep will risk him in the mid week game even Gundo has very light injury or only 70% condition.

      No ground to risk for the coming tougher fixtures including PL & CL

  18. One Wheels Enough

    90 with 12 to play...

    43.5% rank rise from 700K to 400K. After 23 weeks of getting all the 50:50 decisions wrong, it's a weird feeling waking up to this.

    Is it possible for all us car crashers to actually get a change of luck for the rest of this chaos...

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      So happy to see these posts. Personally had a horrible start to the campaign myself with only scoring 27 points in GW1 and sitting at about 3M rank. I am now ranked 150K with 12 to go myself.

    2. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Nice!!! you can def still get a rank to be proud of

      like you said, its the 50/50 calls

    3. thegaffer82

      Triple Utd attack today for me.

      Another 9-0 and I’ll probably just retire from FPL a happy man after that.

      1. One Wheels Enough
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        That sounds a bit scarier than a 50:50 🙂

        Best of luck bud.

    Those on wc who are the cheap enablers you are looking at?

    Considered amartey but castagne might be back soon

    1. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      This. Brighton defence is as cheap as I have found and they don’t double in 26 but do play in 29. Leeds strujk but could be out of team by 29

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Slim pickings in the 3.9-4.4m defenders range. Thinking most probably Brighton defender maybe Burns or White, maybe Tete from Fulham or Alioski and if it gets bad then seeing if either Kilman or Struijk start to help clear up the Kilman vs Struijk vs Mitchell debacle

      1. HammersXI
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Struijk is nailed till Llorente or Koch comes back. Same with Alioski. White is cheap at 4.4

        1. Thomas Magnum
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks! I've read Llorente will be back sooner than Koch so in your opinion whose spot will be lost first out of Struijk and Alioski to Llorente

  20. Wheyyyy
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Rant warning.

    Two players I haven't owned that have frustrated me badly this season are Justin and Gundo. I didn't get Justin in because he was supposed to lose his spot early on and didn't see these hauls coming from Gundo.

    Last two weeks my rank has dropped from 200k to 640k and I've been destroyed by Gundo captains in my ML. Last week my bench outscored my team 41 to 36 (!) and now I've left another 24 on the bench so far!

    Still a long way to go so need to put these two weeks behind me and focus on the next few! Cheers rant over lol

    1. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      worst part of that is def the bench points vs starting 11

    I see Man City have the Saturday lunchtime kick off against West Ham in GW26 after an away trip in the CL on the Wednesday. Pep roulette will be in full force for that match.

    1. Chrisitis
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Pep roulette is a myth. Gundo/kdb starts every game.
      Sterling always starts when you expect him to.

  22. Dele
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    When will we know if Saints get the triple double?

  23. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Fellow Gundo cappers, wouldn't bother holding out hope that he starts. Essential to this City side and with a crucial CL tie soon to come Pep will have the safety gloves firmly on.

    Have 2FT, only TC left and Raphinha...

    1. Antonio to Bamford, Cresswell to Dallas
    2. Just Antonio to Bamford, save FT For DGW26

  25. Babelcopter
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling cappers how are we feeling today? If Gundo is out for the next game do we still have a chance? I'm still in shock why the hell I didn't play it safe and just capped him.

    1. dogtanion
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm worried Sterling won't play midweek

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It's a 20 point difference with Gundogan and effectively half time.

      Everton will take the game to Man City too so they'll be more space.

      Whilst Everton don't travel twice like Fulham, they finish late tonight and have 2 days recovery then match day again.

  26. g40steve

    Do I need another Leeds or Sou player for 25?

    Martinez,
    Dias, Mee, Maguire,
    Salah, Foden, Bruno, Gundo C, Son,
    Bamford, DCL,

    Johnson, Watkins, Coufal, Mitchell,

    Mitchell to Dallas?
    Watkins to Ings?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      Bamford C for 25

      1. thegaffer82

        Foden > Raphina would very much interest me with that side

    2. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years

      Raphinha the 2nd best pick this GW after Bamford imo, but not sure if you can sell any of these mids

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Foden > Raphina a no brainier imo with Gundo already in his side

        1. jomikijiq
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Idk, it's a downgrade for DGW26 and his whole squad isn't good enough for that week to bench Raphinha then

      Either way it's a good return. Could be knocking on 100, no?

        Thanks hopefully, just chasing the ml leaders

      Dias not playing was frustrating as he was my differential over my ML leader

    Need to shave 0.5 off this to do Antonio to DCL....

    Martinez
    Cancelo - Lowton - Rudiger - Creswell - Dallas
    Gundo - Mo - Son - Bruno - Anguissa
    Bam - Kane - Antonio

    Loathed to rid Cresswell as he's class.

    Any thoughts?
