    1FT & 5.4ITB. Current team

    Martinez
    Dier stones Dias targett
    Bruno Salah gundo Burke
    DCL Ings*

    Pope Dallas* Raphina* Bamford*

    If I did Ings/Raph to Kane/Maddison -4

    Leaving bench of Burke Dallas Bamford Pope - worth bench boosting?

    Worth another -4 on Dallas to 6.1?
    Or Burke to 5.0?

    1. THFC4LIFE

      Maybe just get rid of Burke and Dallas/Bamford?

      To Son and whoever you can afford

    Might use/get rid of my bench boost chip this week then WC in 27 to set me up for the rest of the season.

    Would need a -8 to get a half decent bench.

    Coufal Holding Antonio to Targett Dier Maja

    Worth it?

      With a minus 8 you should be able to get towards 9 or 10 players for week 29 then wc after that, 30 looks ok, so 31 maybe.

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Have FH for 29 if needed

    Quick reminder - transfer hits for DGW26 are only costing you -2pts.

    1. Fitzy.

      Even for single GWers? Perfect!

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

      What about bgw29? They cost you a transfer as well

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      What about West Ham players especially defenders? -1?

    4. Ron_Swanson

      Plus whatever the player you take out scores which will inevitably be more than the double gameweeker you bring in scores!

    5. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years

      I forgot single gameweek players don't play

    6. Bennerman

      Not a fact

  4. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Which of the options below look best for a probable BB next week?

    Martinez.
    Shaw, Cancelo, Stones.
    Salah, Bruno, Son, Gundo, Raphinha.
    Ings, Watkins.
    Areola, Burn, Bamford, Dallas.
    2.8m ITB. Just BB left from the chips

    1. Raphinha + Ings -> Barnes + DCL (-4). 0.5m ITB.
    2. Ings -> Kane 0.1m ITB. (Need to act quick on this one).
    3. Bamford -> DCL or Raphinha-> Barnes.
    4. Something else?

    Plan A was to lose Pope for Ederson this week. But he's going to monster the save points isn't he 😉

    What changes would you make to this team for next GW and what chip who you play if any

    Martinez* Johnstone*

    Dias* Mee* Stones* Dallas Coufal

    Fernandes* Salah* Rashford* Gundogan* Rapinha

    DCL* Watkins* Ings

    1 FT 0.1 ITB. BB/TC left and chasing 55pts

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    *bottomed

    Would love some help on this!

    I'm BB this week, but want to get Kane in and can't bring myself to drop any of my premiums to do so.

    Thoughts:

    Martinez (Peacock-Farrel)
    Shaw, Cancelo, Stones, Targett, Digne
    Gundo, Bruno, Salah, Son, Barnes
    Bamford, Antonio, Ings.

    Thinking of doing:
    P-F + Antonio + Digne -> 4.5 GK, Watkins, 5.6 Def

    0.2itb and wanting Kane

    2. drughi

      tough one but gotta factor in captaincy so B

  9. FPL Bargain

    What are the other potential slots for the final rearranged games?

    Aston Villa vs Everton and Spurs vs Southampton?

    What gameweek? 34? 37? Seems unlikely to be 28 now.

    Are these good slot for the (TC)?

    1. FPL Bargain
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Looks like it's 32 or 37 for the Spurs game

  10. drughi
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Ayling and Ings > Dias and Kane (TC) -4 will give this team for dgw 26, should be enough right ?

    Johnstone*
    Cancelo* Dias* Lowton*
    Grealish* Salah* Bruno* Gundogan*
    Kane*(TC) DCL* Bamford

    I would be happy with top 100k finish at this point. Still wandering outside 190k and it's hard to make up ground.

    What's your goal for end of season?

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

      been hovering around 5k>20k since gw 9, back and forth so dont know really. When I was in the top 5k gw 20 my aim was top 1k but then ofc I fell back so around 15k now I dont really care I feel

    2. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      300k here. I've made silly runs before though when I dropped my guard a bit, so who knows?

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

      Way behind you at 700k or so after a series of fails in the past few weeks but still hoping for top 100k. Managed the same from a similar positions in the past 2 seasons

      The template will be breaking up now that all the premiums are back and firing. Choices will need to be made

    4. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Well I had one bad gw to drop from 100k to 250k so it can be made back with a bit of luck and planning.

  12. aleksios
    • 8 Years

    What to do here? 1ft 7.2itb

    --Martinez
    --Digne--Mee--Dias
    --Salah--Bruno--Gundo--Soucek
    --Bam--DCL--Watkins

    --Johnstone--Raphinia--Dallas--Cresswell.

    a) Soucek+Raphinia to Barnes+Son for a hit,TC Son.
    b) a+Cresswell to Maguire for -8, BB with 13 dgws.

    Thanks all.

    I hope Gündogan plays and plays well so I don’t have the headache of wanting to get KDB if he plays well

    1. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

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

        There’s just so many options for GW 26. I’ll definitely get both for GW 27 though

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

    Struijk or Mitchell for BB?

  15. FantasyClub
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    If De Bruyne plays well I’m gonna have a headache of either TC him or Kane

    1. Tinkermania
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago
