If you have the transfer, I don't mind KDB to Barkley to get one more doubler. This is assuming you don't have long term plans for KDB.

I endorse this
And everyone such as this hero, must speak freely and boldly.

My most understanding take on this is: the refs are still getting used to the technology and they're not as fast and efficient with it as they can be. As a result, they want to have the process behind the scenes, so as not to invite undue pressure.

Once they're comfortable with it (or there are VAR specialists), we'll see a faster and more open process. Atleast I hope so..

How about just Solanke? 😆 Solanke and Doughty is the highest I'll go, unless I WC.

Depends on if you have a WC left or not to clear them all out again

I've opted for Senesi too...I'll stop there.

Doughty I bought for Trippier, and that's it
I'll keep the satisfying spicy taste in my mouth rather than destroying it with a dessert

My plan was to sell Foden for Son this week. But, he's nailed himself in my team for now

Is there no one else you can sacrifice?

Considering it. Also considering going instead to KDB to Son. Not using FH in 29

Definitely considering.

Yes, could pay off.

Jammy

Wrong decision, correct outcome 😉

A

I have Soucek 7 pointer in case Walker doesn't show up

I love a 5-7 pointer on he bench, for that exact reason. Poetic as always, legend!!

Yeah wait until after today’s game and make sure Senesi doesn’t get a YC

I'd rather upgrade hwang

No
Haaland and Foden can easily beat this in GW30

You mean you need a size able amount of luck.

I don't think BB27 was in vogue nor BB28 makes much sense

I was close but decided against. WC33 BB34 could be an option if we get the right doubles

Doughty only
No hits

Kaminski Senesi Doughty Solanke (TC), no hits

May take a -4 for Tavenier or Kluivert

Solanke abd Doughty. No hits.

Took my hit last week so none this week, will have Doughty, Senesi, Solanke (c) & want one more defender for free, prefer Bournemouth over Luton because they could stay benched until the BB in 37.

Will probably bring in Neto and a Bournemouth defender (probably Senesi) (-4) for GW28.

Gives me:

Neto
Walker - Senesi - Doughty
Son - Saka - Palmer - Garnacho
Haaland - Watkins - Solanke

(Kelleher, Foden, Porro, Taylor)

With enough ITB to do Foden - > Salah after FH in GW29

Solanke, Doughty and Barkley. It is time they pay back the confidence I have in them. Especially Barkley; sold Douglas Luis for him in GW 24 and that has cost me a lot of points!

WC27 so no hits. Will play Senesi, Solanke & Semenyo

Solanke for sure, my FT will be used on Senesi/Zabarnyi, and contemplating a -4 to bring in Doughty

Yes

Glad you included the words "on paper"

If you're making those kinds of transfers, you might as well WC..

Play your own game and all that but I'd not enjoy WCing into a blank.

Bear in mind Man Utd (I assume...) & Newcastle are the least likely of the potential GW34 doublers as they both have to lose the FA Cup QF ties for it to happen - probable given the draw but still requires 2 results to go your way

You'll either be taking hits now, or later. I like WC 28 as well (might even do it), but I'd rather WC Salah and Haaland *in* than out.

Who is the most nailed Villa defender these days? Seems to change every week...

I think benching Foden is fine, I plan to do the same this week, if it was at the Ethaid & not Anfield I’d not be so comfortable doing it.

I don't have much confidence for having two BOU attacks.

Why senesi over doughty?

Good morn! Zabarnyi is your man!

Yep. Barkley 2 points coming in.

No I’m hoping my rival gets the 2 honest points from Toney off his bench

If Solanke starts he's got a good chance of scoring decent points.

If not I'll happily take Palmer and his 5 points back into the team.

Have Semenyo to cover if Solanke misses out so I get a shot at Burnley defence either way. EO-wise its probably better for me if he sits this one out

Still a stoner

I'm way behind the safety score with 22 points but that's just from 3 played.

11 points benched again.

I'm tripled up on Man City and Arsenal with double Bournemouth and the fixtures look promising.

40 with 5 to go including Haaland(C). Just hope it’s enough to fetch green arrows today.

Just take your picks and see what happens.

As I said above, no point obsessing about it.

Just got to ride with it week to week.

Did not see the game, was Son unlucky not to get more returns?

Maybe its just me (and my stubbornness) but if my captain puts in a performance that's close to a massive haul like that, and the match pans out roughly how I thought it would, then I'm reasonably satisfied with the decision at least - as opposed to, say, capping Bowen for similar points but no shots. Anything beyond that is out of our control

XGI 0.5

My last 5 transfers I've bought in:
Gordon, Darwin, Jota, Hwang, and Solanke, who've all got injured.
I had Richarlison who's got the knee injury too.
Owned Trippier forever and he gets subbed with an injury 7 minutes before getting some points.

Rough.

70% luck 30% skill.

I feel all you can really do each week is get 11 FPL type starters and the rest is out of your hands, other than a bit of ahead fixture planning. Even then a lot of points come in unlikely fixtures too. I feel like I get an injury during a game every week this season. If you could predict football you would not be on here but more likely a superyacht in Bermuda…

Or a lucky goal on the break at the end when Palace were pushing forward. Take the points and run 😉

The Robbo one is just bad, bad luck. Had a very good chance to score too which was well blocked on the line. Could easily have had a double digit haul.

Solid transfer especially if Trippier is injured

Sure. FH29 I assume?
