Tuchel explains decision to bench Mendy as Chelsea rotation continues

Ings could have a lot of doubles but also not have the legs to play in them all.

Yes

Yes

He probably just uses ditto marks

is that the 2 of you ?

Wasn't the rival a erek

Isn't your rival a week 2 player as well?

Nice one, I'm up to 80k but still second in my cash ML of 40

One of my mini leagues got named after me as I won it 5 seasons in a row with finishes of 47k, 45k, 37k, 9k, 14k but finished second in it last season at 120k so need to win it back this year!

You were at the end of your tether few weeks ago. Things certainly turned round for you.

Same mate, I've won mine 10 years in a row. They play for cash and I'm not allowed a pay in 🙁

Didn't have a shot but Cresswell's deliveries are so good he can score in any game. Probably gonna keep him and bench loads of his points soon as west ham have hard games coming up.

Pretty anonymous.

Have a similar set up except Salah for Son. Have a Leeds triple of Bam Raph and Dallas this week and planning to get rid of Raph and Dallas next week for dgwers

Would not have Dier, Guaita or Lowton imo

Triple spurs... No way

Do you have a free hit?

wc this week, bb gw26

i'm WC'ing nut used BB this GW so i can pout funds into maximising the first 11, otherwise ya then have to remove all the deadwood, makes sense to do the reverse imo.

If using WC to mainly set up BB i think this can be a blind alleyway that people are intent on doing for a DGW.

Those chips don't have to be played out in combo just to maximise a double. Can mess up the following 5 weeks or so.

Is this a regular strategy or more prominent this season?

BB in dgw26
No WC as been working towards a team with mostly dgw players
Will cost me a -8 tho
Think Dallas or bam will be the only exception

I'm thinking of taking a couple of hits to get 14 players in for GW 26 and BB this saving my wild card. I think?

Team isn’t bad enough to wc so holding

Bench pretty strong though, may even play 25 as fixtures for my bench are better then 26, could easily BB in any of 27-28 too

I’m saving WC for gw30, will probably TC in GW26 and will save BB for shortly after WC. Will spend GW27-29 FT’s to get players in for the blank, should have 7-8. As world carding in GW39 dont mind taking a hit for GW29 eg if Auba is firing

Might BB GW25 instead of DGW26. Depends on what's happening with DGWs - mainly if Soton gets it or not - as well as Gundo injury news. Unlikely to WC at this stage, but again depends on what's happening with fixtures, injuries etc.

Your team setup is likely different anyway - you can't just go with the crowd on this one IMO

Should do - may find out pre week 25 deadline hopefully

Nothing is set

I could fit them all in but want to BB so losing Son

D won't captain over Kane and don't think Spurs are playing well enough to warrant an attacking double up.

D if any. I'm looking at the possibility of doing Bruno>Son ahead of GW26. Newcastle fixture too good to miss

With Gundo Jorginho Saka Watkins Stones etc you really should be able to fit them all in.

C

Son, don’t need both him and Kane on current form

Prefer Sanchez Areola ahead of Johnstone

Not with that Johnstone pick

I’d really want Son, I know your dilemma, it’s the same as mine.
Strongly considering going without Salah over the DGW period

If Fulham get a DGW then yes

If planning to WC26 then take the risk tonight

A for me

Nah

if you're not BB-ing in 26, definitely.

Wildcard

WC, the - 12 totally negates the BB advantage

You dont even know what dgw teams to play yet

For me -8 is the maximum spend on a BB in isolation. Although if you're bringing in players like Targett & Ings who will have other doubles soon, you might be able to sweet-talk yourself into playing a -12 ( because it does seem a waste to WC and only make four changes).

I am thinking of saving my WC also in 26. Reason being my squad is really strong and will have most of the key players. So why waste it?

Dawson

Finally Ogbonna over Dawson in gw19 wasn't a very good choice.

Someone from Brighton or Fulham?

Equal with Cresswell since I bought Aaron for 19.

Dunks profile is starting to look similar and will continue

Ings!

Ings (c)

1-25% unlikely according to Ben Crellin

Should definitely be before 25 deadline

Ben crellin said within 9 days, yesterday

(*not city)

Shaw and consider TC Gundo in 26

Fixtures rearranged then TV companies sort the schedule then published.

Truly evil!

Ings less so. Because of injury doubt mainly.

yeah, agree, getting Ings this week and Martinez back in for Pope in 26 as my priority moves atm with no chips

Bamford

I'm tempted to punt on Ings

No one actually knows.

I guess tomorrow or soon in EPL committee room 4?

He could well be, I have him but not confident. He does love playing Chelsea though.

I rather go Bamford ->Raphina -> Ings -> Dallas -> Vestergaard

So i would not get him if i dont own any of the others.

2 or 3, depends on a range of factors: unannounced fixture scheduling, your team, your chips, etc.

Raphinha

Unfortunately unlikely to have a double

No DGWs

Ah, ok.. I understand. A single 6 is still better than two 2s though.

Very tempted to disregard the DGWs and just get Dunk. He’ll probably outscore the likes of Vestergaard and Dallas anyway.

Sanchez on form like Martinez.

No double but on plus side good fixture in blank week 29
