WC26/27

[dusky lantern]

Gonna wildcard in GW27? Post your drafts and have your discussions in here!

[bronze galleon]

Hearing a DGW is here?

[sullen jungle]

hi

[bronze galleon]

What do we do?

[mighty plinth]

[sullen jungle]

[earnest turtle]

Pin ticker

[mighty plinth]

me first me first me first

[hushed marsh]

GW27 wildcard and stock up Brighton and Brentford

[earnest turtle]

Imo

[sullen jungle]

i was 2nd pogg

[sharp pivot]

Would you start more than 3 bha/bre in 27? Seeing as all the big teams have easy fix?

[hushed marsh]

Just a note, if Leicester fail to beat Blackburn at home which has a 20% chance of happening Brentford dont blank which makes a GW27 WC much less appealing

[bright falcon]

Ethan clear

[mighty plinth]

Beat this nerds

[hushed marsh]

since there’s not much point to follow up with a FH in 28

[mighty plinth]

Look at how beautiful that symmetry is

[median cloud]

hear me out but why not 26

haven't tried making it though

[sullen jungle]

[dusky lantern]

post this team but with gw26 fix out of curiosity

[spiral stag]

wc26 is the way

[hushed marsh]

29*

[sharp pivot]

How far along do you look for when making a wc? Bb in 29?

[spiral stag]

*if leeds beat fulham it is

[sullen jungle]

im WC 26

[median cloud]

yeah wc27 bb29

[dusky lantern]

WC26/27

[median cloud]

then figure out 32

[hushed marsh]

Would look to another defender than cash, he’s not 100% nailed

Pinnock perhaps

[mighty plinth]

Looks pretty good, can start without bruno and have and arsenal mid for the bournemouth game then make a transfer in 27

[dusky lantern]

that is pretty good

[mighty plinth]

dont want double brentford defense

[median cloud]

yeah this is fine

[bright falcon]

double Brighton mid tho

[median cloud]

I like it

[dusky lantern]

3rd highest scoring team in the league and you doubt having their wingers?

[hushed marsh]

There are other options

[bright falcon]

yes

[median cloud]

I'll come up with a new one once I come back from classes

[mighty plinth]

only reason cash is there is because of gw30 and 31

[median cloud]

😰

[hushed marsh]

Perhaps mings for nailedness?

[dusky lantern]

i'd probs get pinnock over cash and then switch in 29 tho

[bright falcon]

what's arsenal fixtures during that time?

[bright falcon]

I'd personally have saka over March if possible

[mighty plinth]

yea I just did a straight swap, can optimise it

[bright falcon]

pure bias tho

[median cloud]

I may still keep saka tbh

leeds at home vs 2 top half teams

it's close

[mighty plinth]

I prefer maddison and bruno over saka

[thorny dew]

just entering this thread

[sullen jungle]

ok

[bright falcon]

saka realistically will continue to get some good points. Personally, don't like doubling up on midfielders

[median cloud]

Maddison is an absolute must for me

[spiral stag]

is ward viable on bb?

[median cloud]

sure

[mighty plinth]

WC26 and getting maddison for the southampton game is very juicy

[thorny dew]

yeah definitely

[spiral stag]

you going raya or sanchez?

[thorny dew]

he has a double so you shouldn't bother with rotating keepers or something like that

[spiral stag]

leaning raya

[thorny dew]

i was actually thinking kepa

[mighty plinth]

If you WC in 26 and you're scared about the arsenal v bournemouth game you can just get saka + ode instead of bruno and maddison then make transfers in 27 and 29

[thorny dew]

but between these 2 sanchez defo

[spiral stag]

i was going to have badishelle for chelsea defence

seems pretty nailed

[mighty plinth]

kepa is nice until you realise you have to bench trippier or shaw when they have amazing home fixtures in 27

unless you go completely without brentford defense I guess

[earnest turtle]

Trippier bench isn’t that bad

[spiral stag]

are spurs not going to double in 29?

like 0 chance

[mighty plinth]

It will be when he gets his usual 9 pointer against a dogshit wolves team

[mighty plinth]

they could, we probably won't know before WC though

I imagine they only put that game there if they go to the semis

[spiral stag]

kane as a double would be a lot better than salah but

[thorny dew]

soton or tottenham

[mighty plinth]

spurs

[hushed marsh]

Icl I don’t like WC27 FH28 BB29 looking at it, you’re completely isolated in BGW32, DGW34 and DGW37. Cash in on green arrows now but watch your team fade away as the season continues

[idle pier]

Gang

Mitoma cap with rash at home to Southampton way too risky

Stop what

[spiral stag]

keeping ode gw26 and moving him to march/macallister in 27

14 doublers + haaland

[dusky lantern]

Fixtures for the next 5 GWs EXCLUDING GW28 sorted by average FDR (FDR ratings reviewed by FPLcord members as of today) with weighted bias towards those with more fixtures

[dusky lantern]

@thick obsidian

[thick obsidian]

ty ty

[median cloud]

newcastle lol

[sharp pivot]

The nicest thing about this dgw29 is that city can be handled with just Haaland. No need to punt on pep roulette.

[bright falcon]

oh brighton double twice?

nah I can't say Kaki was right. I shall not go for march

[median cloud]

here's another (ignore caps)

[dusky lantern]

saka not being bruno there seems criminal

[median cloud]

well I have a transfer

always that possibility

[earnest turtle]

how much itb?

[median cloud]

think this was 3-ish? closed the tab idk

was definitely more than 2.0

[spiral stag]

best one i’ve come up with

maybe badishelle in for botman but

gw27 wc btw

[median cloud]

need to make a rating of defenses

most people will need 6 different defenses if not 7

[spiral stag]

why are people wildcarding 27 instead of 26?

[earnest turtle]

Doesn’t matter really

More info

26 will probably be a dead gw

[median cloud]

just depends when you want the extra transfer

regardless you have to burn one for 29 because you're fhing in 28

[spiral stag]

i’ll probably do ode to march gw27

[sharp pivot]

Then you can keep arsenal for their game against BOU for example.

[plush summit]

What will u do in bgw 32?

[dusky lantern]

How to prioritise your transfers until WC27, assuming you are on this strat

https://i.imgur.com/ttdYLIs.png

[thorny dew]

triple everton it is

[spiral stag]

thinking of getting coufal on this wildcard

west ham have good defensive fix

double in 29

play in 32

decent chance of a double in 34

[dusky lantern]

very good side too

[earnest turtle]

took a -8 for triple pool

locked into wc27

[spiral stag]

hoping they can improve

coufal at 4.1

will probably have him

[spiral stag]

what if they play in 28

[earnest turtle]

I think I’ll still wc

I sold kane

[plush summit]

Is there one for fh18 wc30-33 bb34

[dusky lantern]

fh18? what year is this

[idle pier]

Think it's a bit early to be planning ahead for 23/24

[earnest turtle]

That backline is a lock

looking at it now

[plush summit]

28

Not 2028, I meant gw 28

[dusky lantern]

this is the wc27 thread

you know that right

[plush summit]

Oh my bad

Thought it was general chat 😭

[dusky lantern]

#fpl_chat message

here you go

[earnest turtle]

Is Ward a lock on Wc?

[median cloud]

yes

unless you want to go spicy with castagne

When you're facilitating a bench boost that .5 is a lot

Also rotating keepers never worke

[thorny dew]

the only time you use your second keeper is bb

cheaper plays wingback

haven’t seen their stats

[median cloud]

the 29 double is not too hot

[spiral granite]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[median cloud]

but the alternative is kepa, and his is only slightly better imo

32 is a good point though

ward could miss it

he does have a good fixture there though, so I wouldn't be worried about having to play him

[spiral granite]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[median cloud]

there are quite a few defenses I want cover from, now it's just a question of which ones I am fine using the keeper to cover

[thorny dew]

think im just gonna go toney mee

kepa ward in goal

[median cloud]

wanting to have a keeper in 32 is a good point though, I'd need to think about it

[spiral granite]

Is wc26/27 quite popular then?

Also why

Feel like I’m missing out

[vast basin]

good way to prepare for the upcoming doubles essentially

speaking of which, here's my wc26 draft:

could obviously change

[median cloud]

no kane :o

[vast basin]

yeah no kane () but need tomake the sacrifice

what if i went kane instead of haaland

[strong tartan]

No

[median cloud]

watkins does have pretty strong fixtures tbf

[strong tartan]

what's this a bench boost draft?

[median cloud]

yes that's the whole point

[vast basin]

yeah lmao

[strong tartan]

ah it is

ok

[vast basin]

watkins has really been under the radar

[median cloud]

shame he'll be 90% eo in 28

[vast basin]

on a fh anyway

a goal in each of the last 4 including city and arsenal

[tranquil tiger]

oh this is the thread

[strong tartan]

no it's not

[tranquil tiger]

it is

wc26 bb29 draft

[strong tartan]

aight ill delete gl with the gw

[median cloud]

edit: I did it

[median cloud]

tentatively got lindelof and ashby instead of shaw and trippier to avoid price falls

[vagrant flint]

thoughts?

[ocean reef]

what bout dis

[vast basin]

Looks good

[vast basin]

Badiashille Bowen

[vagrant flint]

well just want to include West Ham & Chelsea assets

[ocean reef]

any changes u would make?

[vast basin]

Thing is I also have a draft in my head so the moves I’ll suggest will be biased towards mine

I don’t see anything alarming though

[strong tartan]

there's no issue with that as u will assume ur moves are the best

[ocean reef]

can i see yours?

[vast basin]

If you scroll up I think I posted mine like a day ago

[ocean reef]

would u prefer white or henry

[median cloud]

how do we feel about chelsea defense?

[strong tartan]

depends on defender

James no

Badshialle maybe but kepa only tbh

[tranquil tiger]

0 chelsea defence for me

raya keeper

thoughts on this?

my first wc26/27 draft

[earnest turtle]

standard

looks good

[tranquil tiger]

yup

tons itb

actually i think i want maddo

benching is so tough for 27 tho

[strong tartan]

not enough liverpudlians

[tranquil tiger]

nah

the 29 double is pretty bad

and this would be the fabulous bb29

wc26 also lets you get more for 27

so i like it more than wc33 bb34

[earnest turtle]

Might as well do it in 27 imo

Gw26 seems like a dead gw

Can keep your triple arsenal as well

[tranquil tiger]

26 gives u more transfers tho

and it gives me saka

if i wc26

[earnest turtle]

Team dependent I guess

Andy Martin (@fpl_tactician)

No Cup upsets and it’s WC27 definitely.

Hopefully teams will start to look a bit different again.

3 x Brentford, 3 x Brighton and 180 mins of JWP to try and get a return.

Twitter · Feb 25, 2023, 8:17 AM

[tranquil tiger]

wc26 is better for my team i’d say

[dusky lantern]

would you rather have dgw jwp or bruno at home to soton

that's what he should ask himself

[ocean reef]

fuck jwp

[tranquil tiger]

he can get bruno after

[ocean reef]

is it ok to not triple brighton

[tranquil tiger]

whats wrong with triple brighton

oh wait

yea if you have double brighton its fine

[ocean reef]

also

would u rather henry or arsenal d

idk bout double brentford d tbh

[tranquil tiger]

arsenal dont double

so henry

[ocean reef]

is there a better option then henry

[tranquil tiger]

who do you have now

[ocean reef]

its a wc draft

i can get whoever

5.2itb

[tranquil tiger]

yea but who do you have now

in your defence

cos you asked if there’s better options right

[ocean reef]

or both hmm

i can just transfer raya out

i just want him for 27

oh shit

i reckon wc26 get raya ward then keep raya till 29 and get navas for bb

[tranquil tiger]

whats the point of that

using an ft on a keeper??

[ocean reef]

i meannn i get nothing to transfer

ive set everything up on wc26 already

[ocean reef]

i mean

for my current wc draft any suggestions

[spiral stag]

Thought i’d ask this in here as it’s relevant to a gw26 wc

should i wait for leeds fulham mid week to see if i want to wc

or should i just mash the button

if pool got their game in 28 i’d be tempted to hold but darwin seems out and salah+TAA looked lacklustre

[earnest turtle]

wait ofc

[spiral stag]

would hold it till gw29

if leeds beat fulham

but not sure if i would want triple pool for the next 3 gw’s

[spiral granite]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[spiral stag]

this needs a wc yeah?

[tranquil tiger]

anyone getting jwp

on wc26/27

[median cloud]

nop

[tranquil tiger]

and then moving to maddo or something

[mighty plinth]

wtf are you on about

soton are shit

[tranquil tiger]

lol true

[mighty plinth]

Only way JWP gets points is if he scores a FK

[tranquil tiger]

breeze are you wc26

or 27

[mighty plinth]

idk lol

Probably 26 because I'm sick of my team

[tranquil tiger]

my wc26/27 rn

would you change anything

[mighty plinth]

Pinnock and Maddison for Odegaard and like cash or smth

is the only difference to mine

[tranquil tiger]

pinnock doubles 27 so i like him more

i could do maddo to ode and switch in the next gws yea

[spiral stag]

similar to mine

double forest defence though

[mighty plinth]

I like villa defenders because you can play them in 30/31 when estu have bad fixs

[spiral stag]

really?

may consider one then

meh double

[mighty plinth]

You can play them in 26 over tripps/shaw and then in 30/31

[tranquil tiger]

hm lemme check 30 and 31

[spiral stag]

which one to get though

would be mings i suppose

have either of you 2 played it yet

the wildcard itself

[tranquil tiger]

raya rose already

[spiral stag]

yeah saw that

annoying

[mighty plinth]

nah, need fa cup results before I confirm

if brighton and utd go out I dont need to FH

[spiral stag]

if pool and fulham was on i could avoid a fh

not sure i want triple pool for 3 weeks

[mighty plinth]

If pool dont blank in 28 I probably dont need to FH but I'll probably WC and FH anyway

[tranquil tiger]

are you gonna have pool on wc

[mighty plinth]

probably not

I dont think we've been good enough

especially with the prices

[spiral stag]

no watkins is annoying

also ode will be maddison if fit

[tranquil tiger]

you can switch to maddo 28/29

[spiral stag]

i could but i want him for soton

won't want any ars gw29 so if i have 3 it means i have to hit one out

[tranquil tiger]

why do you have zinny

just get pinnock/mings instead imo

[mighty plinth]

I like villa defensse, good gw30/31 fix

[spiral stag]

he will be there for 2 weeks

then it will probably be coufal

[tranquil tiger]

coufal

[spiral stag]

west ham have a good double

play in 32

could double 34

[tranquil tiger]

i like wc26 more than 27

to get saka, and just wanna change up my team

[spiral stag]

yeah makes my team a lot better this week

would have the same players next week anyway

assuming they don't get injured

[mighty plinth]

@tranquil tiger why do you take my opinion into account anyway

I'm shit at this game

[dusky lantern]

you've just shown me why I won't wc next week thanks

I could use my FT to do Nunez to Toney and I've got 8/11 lmao

and one of those 3 is white over zinchenko which is same same

think the main benefit of 27 over 26 is being able to dump arsenal assets guilt free

[vagrant flint]

latest draft

White to Estu gw27

[spiral granite]

[tranquil tiger]

just get shaw for james defo

maddo for bruno whatever

[vagrant flint]

but Maddo still flagged

[tranquil tiger]

do it if you want

you could do bowen to maddo

[spiral stag]

i will move arsenal assets out in gw27 and 29

not definitely going to have zinchenko

[dusky lantern]

home to bournemouth just feels like we need triple arsenal

and I don't want that on wc

good to see the templates here

makes my decision easier

[spiral stag]

yeah that’s obviously a downside to wc26

i had triple pool on my gw26 team

so that would’ve got a combined 5 points against united

at max

[thorny dew]

i cant figure the defenders out

and gks

27

[earnest turtle]

they all pick themselves

[thorny dew]

go on

[earnest turtle]

trippier shaw estu

[thorny dew]

and who are the goalkeepers

i prefer mee over raya

could go like

digne

ali this is a serious chat you dont have to say stupid stuff for attention

[vast basin]

Ward is fine as backup if you want bb29

[earnest turtle]

raya ward is fine

[earnest turtle]

Could just go double def

Wc27 is simple tbh

[thorny dew]

idk

then theres brighton united

[earnest turtle]

which assets?

[thorny dew]

i mean thats their double

[spiral stag]

i’ve got

raya kepa

[thorny dew]

not sure i want double def there

[earnest turtle]

you’ll have 1ft

[spiral stag]

lodi henry shaw trips estu

[earnest turtle]

or 2

[spiral stag]

henry and estu rotate really well

[median cloud]

forest home and forest away are not the same team

[spiral stag]

only thing i don’t have is a whu defender

but coufal is injured supposedly

[thorny dew]

im trying to avoid forest defenders

[thorny dew]

will you have trippier

[earnest turtle]

ofc

[spiral granite]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[median cloud]

yeah sure

[spiral stag]

not too keen on double bre defence but henry and estu rotate really well

and they obviously double in 27

[thorny dew]

think he gets 3 points in his double ngl

[median cloud]

triple brent is annoying because the 29 double is ass

[thorny dew]

yeah

[spiral granite]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[spiral stag]

yeah i’m trying to look past that

[earnest turtle]

You’ll have 1 ft

[thorny dew]

wdym

[median cloud]

not gonna use it on a defender

[thorny dew]

as in look past the fix or look past brentford assets

[spiral stag]

brentford defenders are really good throughout except in gw29

they play in 32 and probably double in 34

assuming leicester can beat blackburn

[thorny dew]

will kepa play in 32

[spiral stag]

raya will

kepa probably won’t

I’m guessing everyone’s mid will be Mitoma March Rashford Bruno Maddison

[median cloud]

I just don't want to be stuck deciding on a keeper every week

[thorny dew]

i think leicester clean palace tbf

[spiral stag]

so much free cash seems silly not to have another 4.5 keeper

[median cloud]

may keep saka personally

[spiral stag]

bruno or bowen yeah

[median cloud]

atleast now in 26

[thorny dew]

wouldnt get bowen

[spiral stag]

saka is lock in 26

[median cloud]

if I have a spare ft we move

[spiral stag]

probably move him next week

[spiral stag]

is he not very good?

[median cloud]

not a priority

[spiral stag]

i’ll take your word for it

[earnest turtle]

him or ode is fine

[spiral granite]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[thorny dew]

he is decent but west ham dont score a lot

[spiral stag]

not a fan

[earnest turtle]

Had it last wc

Barnes

[spiral stag]

your double is nice and you play in 32

[thorny dew]

but the fact its 2 home games is making bowen not a bad option

[spiral granite]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[spiral stag]

wolves

and leeds away

[median cloud]

they have the best fix pair

[spiral stag]

who’s this?

[median cloud]

forest

[spiral stag]

forest and brentford?

[median cloud]

brent double sucks

[spiral stag]

brentford play in 32

a good fix too

i will definitely have 2 if not 3

[median cloud]

what other defenses are there

idk if I want chelsea outside of kepa

[spiral stag]

west ham

[median cloud]

villa's a shout but the double isn't that good

leicester I could go castagne if no ward

[spiral stag]

brent forest brighton

[median cloud]

I'll already have all 3

[spiral stag]

chelsea

One message removed from a suspended account.

[spiral stag]

who do you even get from chelsea

exactly

[spiral granite]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[median cloud]

even if someone was nailed from chelsea, kepa's save hauls win it for him alone

yeah I'm going to have shaw of course

[spiral stag]

i have 1 chels 1 brighton 1 forest 1 newc 1 united and 2 brentf

[spiral granite]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[spiral stag]

considering a whu defender

[thorny dew]

if united had a more nailed and better in attack fullback id double up

over bruno

[median cloud]

yeah I'd rather keep the 3rd slot open for bruno

[spiral stag]

everyone has kane i assume?

[median cloud]

I am so conflicted on the forwards

gonna be honest with you

[spiral stag]

what is your alternative

kane haaland toney

[thorny dew]

i was tinkering with transferring him out for watkins or nacho or something before 29

[spiral stag]

watkins is tempting

[median cloud]

there's like an 80/20 chance I go kane

[spiral stag]

johnson

[median cloud]

watkins is extremely tempting

toney is a lock

haaland is still a lock

[spiral stag]

yeah feel like toney has to be in

[thorny dew]

no chance he gets banned now right

[spiral granite]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[median cloud]

he could miss one game

but not both

[spiral stag]

we hope

not keen on felix rn

[median cloud]

he's on 8 yellows

[spiral stag]

want to see more

[median cloud]

oh no

brent play on monday

that'll be a nail-biter

[thorny dew]

bookings

[median cloud]

if toney is booked there

it opens the chance that he misses games in the doubles

[thorny dew]

its a 2 game suspension right

[median cloud]

yup

[spiral granite]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[spiral stag]

if toney was on 9 going into 27

[median cloud]

which means there's a decent-ish chance he doesn't play all 4 games of the doubles

[spiral stag]

i’d cap mitoma

[spiral granite]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[thorny dew]

capping him anyway

[spiral stag]

capping toney myself

[median cloud]

exactly

[spiral stag]

that’s annoying

[median cloud]

at that point you might as well just get watkins

[spiral stag]

i save a ft for 29 anyway

if toney has shit the bed i can move him

[thorny dew]

i mean after fh28 you're always gonna have just that one ft

[spiral stag]

i know

but i haven’t booked anything

i’m moving saka to bruno/bowen in 27

and then will have 1 in 29

[median cloud]

I am happy to keep saka and bench him in 27 since it's such a strong gw that you will have to bench some good attacker

maddison has a good fix

[spiral stag]

in 27?

[spiral granite]

[spiral stag]

not sure yet

that’s why i’m keeping

[median cloud]

no

[spiral stag]

just incase some weird shit like a toney 10 yc happens

[median cloud]

probably not

[spiral stag]

i wouldn’t

[median cloud]

wc26 you still do

personally I'm not booking any transfers

just in case stuff goes wrong

[tranquil tiger]

why do people wanna start shaw/trippier over haaland

lol

[spiral stag]

palace away is city kryptonite

but haaland did score 3 there in the reverse fix

wouldn’t be benching haaland

[vagrant flint]

no turning back now

[tranquil tiger]

i’m not gonna activate it yet

[tranquil tiger]

@vagrant flint whats ur wc26 draft rn

[kindred fjord]

aight im activating wc26

cant really go into 26/27 with this can i?

[vagrant flint]

still about the same like yesterday

tho I think I'll go triple Arsenal for 26 and use both FT in 27 & 29 to switch

White to Estu 27
Ode to Bowen/Fernandes 29

[tranquil tiger]

Ye that looks good

i’d prefer raya over ward tho

[vagrant flint]

I tend to avoid triple

except maybe from big teams

[tranquil tiger]

brentford double 27 and 29 tho

so it makes sense to triple up

same with brighton

[sharp pivot]

Still nog convinced what to do. I can get to this with just one hit. That way I could keep wc and bb for later… doesn’t look that bad.

[tranquil tiger]

i haven’t thought much about it

i just wanna wc, and fix my team

Almost hoping that Fulham beat Leeds in the cup so that I can Wildcard to something like this.

Sets me up nicely for GWs 26-29 with minimal transfers.

Can also potentially BB in GW29 & leave Free Hit for later, perhaps GW32.

£5m in the bank & benching headaches galore though!

[dusky lantern]

wheres mitoma

oh my god i bet his xGI is low recently

so the nerds have gone off him

[median cloud]

still only playing 7 in 28

it is literally impossible to wc in this time and also be in good hands for 28

[sharp pivot]

This team isn’t good for bb29 either, tho?

[median cloud]

it's fine but it definitely isn't optimal

also I just noticed tripe new def

[dusky lantern]

its fine, just has 3 arsenal and 2 brentford which isnt ideal

[median cloud]

(not fixing that)

[sharp pivot]

Triple arsenal, triple Newcastle def

[dusky lantern]

i want to get my team ready for 29 in 27

and use my FT(s) to either punt on Kane out

or get rid of brentford player(s)

triple newcastle defence when they play man utd is hilarious

[vast basin]

Schar, James, Max Allister

[spiral stag]

really want to fit watkins into my team

don’t see a place for him though

[thorny dew]

might just do kane to watkins in 29 if he keeps it up and hold saka

[tranquil tiger]

ye kane to watkins

in 29

[thorny dew]

my move in 29 will either be saka to maddison, kane to watkins or shifting out a second brentford defender

[spiral stag]

yeah my plan for 27 is saka to bruno

and then 29 i’ll do whatever transfer suits my team

[spiral granite]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[spiral stag]

best brentford defender?

feel like it is henry

[thorny dew]

mee imo

[spiral stag]

is that for goal threat

[thorny dew]

yes

[vagrant flint]

so with T. Silva news which GK to replace Kepa other than Raya?

Sanchez looks decent but Brighton fixtures post GW29 are just

[marsh void]

Thiago injured??

[vagrant flint]

yes, expected to out for 6 weeks

Chelsea been really shit atm already not convincing and now it's just make it worse

still consider to hodl Kepa cause the fixtures, but WC is the right time to ship him out if necessary

[marsh void]

Was planning on wc27 but cos Nketiah is now a rotation risk I might WC this week instead

[marsh void]

I think he's gone for me of t.silva is out. Chelsea look shit already I dread to think what they'll be like without him

[thorny dew]

worst case scenario with toney suspension is i do toney to watkins and bb both saka and kane

[median cloud]

Think I’ll go raya ward

[marsh void]

Watkins should be fine too

[thorny dew]

will you go a brentford def as well

[median cloud]

not sure

[earnest turtle]

Is Maddison a lock for everyone?

[spiral granite]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[thorny dew]

over who

march mitoma bruno rash saka

[earnest turtle]

Saka

that would be my mid

[thorny dew]

can i survive ful (a) and lee (h) without any arsenal

[vast basin]

Will have to be on a lookout for more Toney news before wildcarding

[thorny dew]

he wont make 29

[spiral stag]

if toney doesn’t make 29 i get him for the double in 27 and move him to Watkins

[median cloud]

hear me out

sanchez might be the answer

if this estu injury becomes annoying

[spiral stag]

true

[mighty plinth]

wait is toney finally gonna get banned

[spiral stag]

not sure if wc26/27 has benefited or been hindered from all of todays events

[spiral stag]

supposedly

[mighty plinth]

that's annoying, would've liked to have a brentford attacker for their double

[median cloud]

today's events are only one factor

ultimately it comes down to what your own team looks like

[spiral stag]

i had triple pool

0 brentford

or brighton

[marsh void]

Estu and Toney doubts. DGW looking worse by the second

[earnest turtle]

Villa assets

[median cloud]

villa might actually be the answer ffs

[earnest turtle]

Mings/Watkins are the only options tbh

Fullbacks have rotation

Cash

[median cloud]

(pretend ashby is trippier I'm just avoiding price falls)

crosses blank 28

[mighty plinth]

what happens when toney ban

[median cloud]

nacho

potentially

[mighty plinth]

the uncertainties with injuries and the toney stuff might push me to WC in 27 instead

don't want to get march+toney just for both to be out

but if they're fit I dont want to be without them

[earnest turtle]

For those dead ending this gw, what is your transfer? (wc27)

https://twitter.com/bigmanbakar/status/1630685932390162432 he learned

AbuBakar Siddiq (@BigManBakar)

Rude not to.

Twitter · Feb 28, 2023, 9:46 PM

[thorny dew]

so when are we gonna start talking about mbeumo over toney

[spiral stag]

that’s 26

same can be applied for 27 though

[median cloud]

I'll move keeper talk to here

[spiral stag]

yeah sanchez and raya is annoying for 27

they rotate well otherwise though

could do navas and replace lodi with rico henry

2 Brentford defence though

[covert panther]

basically you want your bench GK to not play in 28 but double in 29 right?

[median cloud]

bottom line is

[covert panther]

so you can use your other slots on players that play in 28 no?

[median cloud]

every chip strategy has something about it that's suboptimal

[mighty plinth]

ward sanchez feels like the best duo, just get mee as your brentford defender

[earnest turtle]

2/3 doubts in your team is the reason I’m probably wildcarding next week

[mighty plinth]

literally didnt ask ali

[spiral stag]

yeah for me i already hit the button

also had triple pool

so had a reason to go a week earlu

[median cloud]

you want to have exactly one keeper playing in 28

[earnest turtle]

I have triple pool as well

[covert panther]

yeah sanchez makes most sense no

[mighty plinth]

I feel like I can field 9 or 10 players in 28 and avoid FH

[covert panther]

but it gets you one less doubler in 27

[spiral stag]

with my team i can field 11 for 28 and 15 doubles for 29

with 0 hits

assuming all goes well

[covert panther]

whats the team

[median cloud]

4 of these play ech other in 28

(again pretend ashby is trippier)

[mighty plinth]

where is luke shaw

[spiral stag]

the one i posted with 3 transfers from 27-29

[median cloud]

shaw is annoying for 28

[spiral stag]

kepa?

[earnest turtle]

At that point it won’t matter, as long as we get players playing

Can’t do anything about it

[median cloud]

really think forest newc could be a 0-0 tbf

[earnest turtle]

Not ideal

[mighty plinth]

this toney situation is doing my head in, fucking dickhead

why now

[spiral stag]

hear me out

Reece James

[earnest turtle]

Kane is a no go?

[spiral stag]

not going to own personally

[mighty plinth]

I've had Kane in every single draft

because he's the 2nd best player in the league

He might actually be the best player but Haaland is just getting more chances

[earnest turtle]

Will you transfer him out?

[covert panther]

yeah I hate the non Kane drafts

[mighty plinth]

might do it in 28 yea, problem is being stuck with whoever I replace him with in 29

Unless it's toney

[spiral granite]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[mighty plinth]

I have watkins over toney in my draft

because the ban

rodgers is a muppet though

he's gonna bench nacho in the double no question

[covert panther]

is Barnes nailed

[spiral granite]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[mighty plinth]

no

[earnest turtle]

Solanke? 😭

[mighty plinth]

There's 4 standout fwd options, one might get banned

I don't see a reason to get any other striker than watkins, kane, haaland if toney gets arrested

[earnest turtle]

Can say that for any player

[thorny dew]

luckily im wc27 so i can just do my mahrez to rashford and observe for now

[spiral stag]

sanchez and raya rotate well for the entire season

only con is 27

you will have a strong fix in net every week if you go for those 2

[mighty plinth]

I feel like you get the same thing with ward+sanchez

[spiral stag]

i think i could score past leicester by myself

won't be touching that defence

[mighty plinth]

but rotating keepers is always an awful idea

[spiral stag]

bb29 though

[mighty plinth]

yea ward plays twice

what's the problem

[covert panther]

think Sanchez + Kepa/Navas is the best combo

[spiral stag]

good keeper score= good bb score

[covert panther]

doesnt fuck your GW27 and gives you optimal GW28

[spiral stag]

their defence

the same reason i will not own a villa defender

[mighty plinth]

everyone owned ben foster for their bench boost last year

[spiral stag]

and villa double is difficult

with so much money

i don't see why you wouldn't go for a better keeper

[mighty plinth]

You never know when you need the money

[covert panther]

feel like there is room for exactly 1 Chelsea punt in defence

we know how shit they are

but James/Chilwell really much worse than Villa, Leicester, Forest or Brentford?

or just take Kepa and hope he farms saves I guess

saves the money too

[mighty plinth]

They're not no, just wouldn't be confident that you get the starts you want from anyone other than Kepa

[covert panther]

I agree

its way more fun tho 😄

this then make Pinnock> Shaw and Saka> Fernandes in 29

9 players in 28

Kepa + Renan Lodi + Money itb more sensible tho

[bright drum]

Anyone getting Bruno?

[median cloud]

no

at least not to begin with

maybe from saka in 29 if I have fts left

[bright drum]

Rly fun pick for 29 for me and kinda feasible, I’m thinking of a Saka to Bruno plan too

[thick obsidian]

how

i'm similar tbf, maybe selling ode to bruno

in gw29

[desert sky]

@earnest turtle What would your wc27 team look like in gw28? assuming no arsenal is the biggest pull for wc27

[spiral stag]

ik you didn’t ask me, but i think a couple of arsenal on a wildcard is a good thing

depends on when you want to fh

after tonight i’m thinking 32/34

[bright drum]

Just kinda similar to @covert panther draft above, keep money itb for upgrade

[desert sky]

Ye i agree. But I am curious b/c it seems the consensus is no arsenal in wc27 and it feels like those teams will be carrying a few blankers into gw28

[bright drum]

Shaw in over 1 brent dude tho

[thick obsidian]

are you lot using fh28

with wc27?

no arsenal in gw28 seems bad

[desert sky]

I don’t want to fh28 but wc26

I agree

[covert panther]

For sure not FH28

[bright drum]

Probs try and hold fh for 32 now

[thick obsidian]

wc26 then

gives 2 fts for gw28

[desert sky]

Saka will probably be most cap that gw no?

[thick obsidian]

yea

[frigid timber]

Thoughts on this wildcard draft, crosses are blankers in 28
Odegaard will become march in 27 so he will also blank in 28. and likely to go without haaland for 28 and 29

[strong tartan]

is maddison even fit

[desert sky]

Hes ill

No clue if he’ll be back this gw

[strong tartan]

oh but he's recovered from the knee thing?

Or wtv his main injury was

[frigid timber]

yeah im waiting on news from the press if not i could make him barnes/march

[desert sky]

Not sure

[strong tartan]

Is estupinan injured for sure

[desert sky]

Estu is injured which is why he didn’t play today

But should get an update before deadline

[strong tartan]

What's the injury

Hmm ok

Thank you

[desert sky]

Got injured vs Fulham

[thick obsidian]

wc26 draft btw, with 12m itb lmao

[strong tartan]

12 mill wtf

[thick obsidian]

dunk/mcallister out gives 11 in gw28

[covert panther]

Wtf

[bright drum]

No kanye?

[covert panther]

No Kane or Haaland

[bright drum]

Oh shirtet

[desert sky]

Make dunk Sanchez and you can have another playing player in 28

[thick obsidian]

gw28

[frigid timber]

are you high

[thick obsidian]

i have 11

[frigid timber]

12m itb

[covert panther]

29?

[desert sky]

Ye I’m js you wouldn’t need to transfer out the Brighton player that gw

[frigid timber]

just get kane and haaland and play like 9 in 28

[thick obsidian]

gw29 bb

[thick obsidian]

still need to cos i have 2 utd

no hits needed

[covert panther]

Why would you go without Kane and Haaland but have 2 Arsenal players in 29?

[desert sky]

Ah ye

[thick obsidian]

6 dgw in 27, full 11 in gw28, 13 dgw in gw29

arsenal that have leeds at home

lmao

haaland blanks gw28 so plays 10 in gw28

kane same reason

excluding cap, i have 17, 11, 28 games in 3 gws

[frigid timber]

yeah but you can move to watkins

in 28 for haaland

[thick obsidian]

extra hit

[frigid timber]

id rather

personally

[thick obsidian]

i only miss newcastle

palace i don't need haaland imo

watkins face bournemouth anyway in gw26

[frigid timber]

palace are shocking

[thick obsidian]

can't score but they can defend

also palace is 3 days before 2nd leg CL

but yea assuming no injuries, 17,11,28 games without a hit is insane with the team actually looking good too imo

bb isn't super ideal but raya, mee, gabriel, saka for 20 points is easily doable

[spiral stag]

it was until about an hour ago as having around 10 players in 28 and like 12+ doublers in 29 is attainable now on a wc 27

[thick obsidian]

wc27 compared to wc26 kinda the same but like you said

1 less player gw28 and gw29

[spiral stag]

what do you mean?

[thick obsidian]

10 in gw28, 12 dgw in gw29 you said

with wc27

[spiral stag]

yeah for me ill probably have 10-11 in 28 and 14 dgw for 29

[thick obsidian]

wc26 with an extra ft lets you get 11 in gw28 and 13 dgw in 29

[spiral stag]

oh i see

[thick obsidian]

if we had price rises tonight i would have confirm wc

guess we can wait

wc26 makes my big hit look bad now but leicester were 75%+ to go through

no regrets

[spiral stag]

where i’m at

[spiral stag]

yeah nobody expected a blackburn win i can’t imagine

[thick obsidian]

was unlikely

happy to play odds

gonna try a draft with mbuemo now

before i sleep

[desert sky]

Looks fair template ye

Reece

[spiral stag]

it was him or mings

or castagne

prefer james if i’m honest

[desert sky]

Yeah rather Reece from those too tbh

[thick obsidian]

ngl i like mbeumo

basically pope/mbuemo vs raya/nacho

[mighty plinth]

Are the chelsea CBs gonna be koulibaly and badiashile now

[thick obsidian]

fofana came on

over bad

so no

[desert sky]

Yeah fofana is there

[spiral stag]

raya nacho for me

[thick obsidian]

ye it changes little for me

[spiral stag]

feel like no chelsea defender is nailed

bar kepa

[thick obsidian]

just preference

james will be nailed if they lose CL

[spiral stag]

i like nacho as a pick

real possibility of that happening

[mighty plinth]

ok so you cant get a chelsea defender other than kepa

[dusky lantern]

and even if you get the keeper you won't expect him to kepa clean sheet very often 😂😂

[covert panther]

if I WC in 26 my team is actually slightly better than my regular team but I dont want to do it with all the injury stuff

[spiral stag]

that was poor

if i could do it again i would wc27

but not much in it

[thick obsidian]

so mbuemo has 9 returns this season

guess how many away

[spiral stag]

2

[thick obsidian]

1

raya/nacho it is

[desert sky]

1 home fix in both dgws

[thick obsidian]

no 4 away

[spiral stag]

i sold mbuemo for ket before mbuemo dropped 13 points

[desert sky]

Oh ye was thinking of the bgw

[thick obsidian]

4 away but i'd play him gw26 at home too

but irrel

[spiral stag]

if toney got banned i feel like mbuemo would be the shit
