WC26/27

[thick obsidian]

So take minutes

[median cloud]

jesus plays on the right

[thick obsidian]

Esr back too

[quartz gulch]

honestly Martinelli should be fine, he scored 4 goals in 3 games

[thick obsidian]

Ye

[quartz gulch]

i'm not touching Kane tho

I'm set on Toney Watkins Haaland

[median cloud]

esr is a myth

[desert sky]

He should have scored today too

[earnest turtle]

Most Touches in the box out of the 3

[desert sky]

Out of which 3

[earnest turtle]

Henry Mee

Some speculation of Jansson being back tho

So might be best to stay away

From Pinnock

[half valley]

late night wc attempt

[earnest turtle]

might bb with 12 doublers, quality > quantity

[half valley]

me personally i want the most out of my BB

im playing around with white > zemura

worse case scenario zemura gets 4 points white gets 6 no biggie

[earnest turtle]

or they concede 4 to brighton

[half valley]

who nose

changed kane to watkins to optimize

before 29 ill sell martinelli for rashford

and that'll be perfect i think

any news on maddi

[strong tartan]

wait marti over ode now?

if march is out who would you guys go for

[earnest turtle]

maddison

[vast basin]

might just get wissa and watkins for toney tbh

[earnest turtle]

triple arsenal on wc26 is why im wildcarding in 27

[strong tartan]

expensive tho

and is he the only option

[tranquil tiger]

why do you have taa on wc

lol

[strong tartan]

trent redemption arc incoming

[tranquil tiger]

he blanks 28 too

lol

[strong tartan]

me when the bench exists

[thick obsidian]

Sanchez and raya nice

Who you do play gw27

[sharp pivot]

Who would you bench in 27 on that wc?

[thick obsidian]

Mart, cast, zinchenko probs

[strong tartan]

yes

[strong tartan]

I think it depends if DCL is back

if he isnt then ill play raya otherwise sanchez I guess

[sharp pivot]

I’m stuck. Don’t see how you can get more than 2 Brent and 2 Brighton. In 27 I can’t play more than 4 without having to bench a good other asset. Brent don’t have such a great dgw29 and Brighton fix are difficult after 29.

[thick obsidian]

Is this wc

Also you play 6 and just bench a good asset

I'm benching watkins away to West ham but to me that's not a good asset for that gw

[sharp pivot]

Thinking on a wc27 that can last 28 and set up for bb29.

Another difficulty I’ve come across is how to get Haaland back in 30.

[thick obsidian]

Not sure how you can't get 6 for dgw27 then

Unless you count benching maddison as a problem

[thick obsidian]

Kane plays once

Fernandes for an extra transfer vs pool not worth it

Overall solid

[sharp pivot]

That’s my point not sure you really have to get 6. Apart from 27 do you really want 3 Brentford in 29? And 3 brighton post 29?

[thorny dew]

ok i still really like 272829

[sullen jungle]

anyone WC 26?

[spiral stag]

quite a few

[sullen jungle]

are you?

[spiral stag]

i’m on it this week yeah

[sullen jungle]

nice

im gonna WC 26

[sharp pivot]

After looking at it, fh28 might be quite useful after all, to get the best bb29 and to have a team you want to continue with after 29.

[sharp berry]

Castagne is a minutes risk now, ig similar to how white was with the return of ricardo

[torn tulip]

My wc

Martinelli could be ode

But I don’t see how martinelli gets benched now

Only other debate is Henry vs mee

[dusky lantern]

looks good to me

what do you do with the arsenal players

are you going to phase them out

keep for 28 and take out in 29?

[torn tulip]

Yeah

@dusky lantern probably Gabriel out in 29

I think I’ll keep Saka

has mitoma been playing wider recently?

[dusky lantern]

i like the idea of having saka in 28 and switching to bruno in 29

could FH32

and avoid arsenal for all the other fix

[torn tulip]

Ah yeah forgot about Bruno

For Brighton’s blank I probably just get rid of one?

[dusky lantern]

the only thing about brighton is that theyll double in 34 AND 37

and if they or man city get through to the semis

theyll double in 35 or 36

[torn tulip]

Op assets

[dusky lantern]

so im leaning towards keeping my brighton players for the whole season and FHing when they blank

[torn tulip]

Do you think you’ll keep a Cs against West Ham?

[dusky lantern]

no clue

didnt watch west ham v forest

[torn tulip]

Yeah think I’ll stick with this team then

Spurs not blanking

Makes it easier with kane

@dusky lantern estu vs dunk?

[solid salmon]

I need to know too ^

[dusky lantern]

dunk will play every game

but estu is great going forward

bit tricky with brighton in the fa cup still too

decent chance of a semi final

[solid salmon]

do we just wait for the press conference bc of his injury

obviously prefer the one who has a chance of getting assists but also don't wanna deal w the injuries and stuff

imma stay clear off shaw and march bc of this reason

[sullen jungle]

check the pins in FPL chat

[trail hemlock]

Is this ok?

Should I go mee to Henry then?

[sullen jungle]

Ali WC activated

bruh

let me show you mine

yh i'll get him out

some cheap def prob

shaw

chelsea are ass

really want triple arsenal mid

not a bad idea tbf

could do that possibly yh

[strong tartan]

oh damn ok thanks a lot

[sharp berry]

he will probably play ~70 mins tbf

ricardo looked good against blackburn as well

[strong tartan]

do you even trust your defence in the first place

[covert panther]

how do this guy get paid for playing fpl but doesnt understand how valuable bench spots is for GW28?

unless you are dropping Kane/Haaland you need Sanchez

[kindred fjord]

need wc26?

will then play 3-5-2 and take -4 to bring raya in

[covert panther]

if Pope wasnt so expensive he would be 100% nailed on my WC

but guess I'll go Kepa instead

[lusty nacelle]

wcarded

[kindred fjord]

?

[lusty nacelle]

kane to watkins saka to maddison odegaard to bruno gabriel to someone who doubles

[kindred fjord]

im keeping kane cuz of the fixtures he has

[lusty nacelle]

in 28-29 i’m saying

[kindred fjord]

wolves then bournemouth is too good to ignore imo

oh yeah works

but for 26-27 this good enough?

[lusty nacelle]

no bruno

go for a brighton mid

get beyno out too

emerson out

[kindred fjord]

again tottenham fixtures are insane

[kindred fjord]

bailey to mac allister?

[lusty nacelle]

yeah

fernades to odegaard

yeah but royal is injured

james>royal

also doubles

the wc i posted has 6 doubles 27

roll 27

make a transfer for 28 to field 11

take a -4 or a -8 to field 14/15 and bb

[sullen jungle]

Wc

[quartz gulch]

I didn't look that deep into it but the way I thought it was is Pope/Sanchez is the best duo keeper no?

Raya is fine but the doubles in 29 aren't that good and I would start Pope in 28

Sanchez much better for 27 than Raya aswell

it's easier to get Brentford defenders than Raya because of the 28 fixture

if you go say Raya and Dunk u have a Dunk blank but if you go Sanchez and Mee you have Pope as a keeper and Mee plays in 28

I like Kepa aswell but Pope is better if Newcastle gets a double in 31

[covert panther]

Pope is better but he is 5.4

[lusty nacelle]

i went pope raya

[torn tulip]

March vs Mac?

[strong tartan]

mart or ode?

[spiral granite]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[strong tartan]

march

[mighty plinth]

March if he's confirmed fit

[quartz gulch]

I'm keeping Martinelli

[strong tartan]

I have ode rn

thats why im wondering if I should make the switch on wc

[quartz gulch]

Martinelli has higher upside, Ode is safer

you can't go wrong with either tbh

just depends how u wanna play it

so the tamplate in mid is Rashford, 2 Ars mids, 2 Brighton mids and then switch one of Brighton to Maddison in 28?

[spiral granite]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[quartz gulch]

ehh, if I can do Mart to Bruno maybe

not selling Saka personally

27 bench is so painful

[marsh void]

As in who to play?

[strong tartan]

pope sanchez looks better than raya sanchez ngl

[lusty nacelle]

i think this is pretty locked

[marsh void]

Surely this is the best gw29 team you can get

Everyone on DGW apart from haaland/kane

[spiral granite]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[strong tartan]

is 9 players enough for 28

[covert panther]

think ill go double newcastle def instead of Renan Lodi/other def alternatives

[strong tartan]

ive gone tripp pope botman

[covert panther]

hopefully with Bruno G back Newcastle will be solid defensively again

[lusty nacelle]

the thing with 3 ars is

very hard

to get 15 dgw for 29

[solid salmon]

im thinking of having 12 dgw plus haaland saka zinchenko

[thorny dew]

zinchenko lol

fulham beating united in the fa cup would be really cool

[solid salmon]

actually no zinchenko lol i misremembered imma get shaw instead of him if he's fit and nailed by then

[spiral granite]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[thorny dew]

only downside of wc27 is i have to start 3 of shaw trippier robbo diop bueno

in 26

[thorny dew]

probably not

[torn tulip]

Who do you start out of dunk and mee this week on wc

Hard one

[spiral granite]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[torn tulip]

I low-key want to bench rashford for March

[solid salmon]

WC with triple brighton and brentford
9 players for the blank gw
BB in 29 with 13 doublers and haaland&saka but I take -4

would you guys run this

[marsh void]

Oh yeah

Anyone kept any Utd defenders for WC?

Still got dalot, I like him for gw29

[covert panther]

whats the latest on Toney?

if I know he plays Im full sending the WC26

otherwise maybe waiting?

[strong tartan]

he plays

[desert sky]

Ye I wouldn’t worry about Toney unless he gets a yc

[covert panther]

are you guys starting Trippier in 26 or benching?

[earnest turtle]

sold him in 25

would bench

[earnest turtle]

https://twitter.com/fplfocal/status/1631298012176605185

FPL Focal (@FPLFocal)

Has anyone weighed up bench boost GW27 over GW29?

I only gain one extra fixture max by waiting until GW29, but leave more up to chance over the international break and 3 gameweeks before. Middle ground I'm willing to accept

Twitter · Mar 2, 2023, 2:18 PM

Double spurs and triple ars

[median cloud]

Still torn on when to fh

[covert panther]

32 for sure

Allows you to setup triple Utd and triple city for their doubles without worrying about their blank in 32

[median cloud]

Thing if you’ll end up with a relatively weak team in 28 unless you do something crazy like sell Haaland

[earnest turtle]

you can’t have it all

[median cloud]

I don’t want to “book” transfers when there’s an ib in between

[dusky lantern]

i like focal, i really do

but this is one of the dumbest tweets ive ever read

hes shown this example and taken out toney (dgw) and march (dgw)

whilst having davies for no real reason

if he posted the same thing but had Lodi over Davies and then did Odegaard and Gabriel out

lets say to get Bruno and Shaw

that GW29 BB looks insane

[median cloud]

Anyway

I think it’s easy (or at least easier) to get a good team with just fts in 32 than 28

[earnest turtle]

Might wc this week just for the extra ft, then again lots of doubts

can do haaland to watkins reverse

[median cloud]

I don’t like the thought of selling Haaland

[earnest turtle]

In 28 it’s fine

I’ll bring him back

I have no value in him either

[median cloud]

oh

Only thing I’d worry about in 32 is either not having enough liverpool or not having enough arsenal

[earnest turtle]

Fh?

[mighty plinth]

or fulham

[median cloud]

no

might genuinely try andreas that point as an enabler

[dusky lantern]

very easy to decide when you want to FH

[mighty plinth]

solomon clear

[dusky lantern]

make a fh28 and a fh32

and see how close your team will be to either

ezpz

[mighty plinth]

that's why I want to FH32

[median cloud]

think there’s a chance I will already have or at least be considering liverpool players around that time because they have such a good run in and will double at some point

so it’s really just arsenal

[mighty plinth]

Like I dont know who to get on FH28 that I won't already have in my team, basically just arsenal defense

[median cloud]

I suppose

[earnest turtle]

https://twitter.com/letstalk_fpl/status/1631303816187445249

Andy (@LetsTalk_FPL)

Been playing around with a draft to be able to afford Kane, Haaland and Fernandes after GW29.

For most people they will only have 2 of the 3.

Looks something like this (£££ for Odegaard to Bruno).

10 in GW28 be doing Haaland to Watkins.

Then Toney to Haaland in GW30.

Twitter · Mar 2, 2023, 2:41 PM

[median cloud]

has anyone made a fh32 yet

[jagged wren]

Why is everyone going gabriel is zinchenko not clear atm

[earnest turtle]

I’m sticking with white

[median cloud]

hm

in both cases it’s arsenal + a little more

that one probably better though

idk I just don’t want to even entertain selling Haaland

think it’s dumb

[mighty plinth]

The good fixtures I won't really cover with my actual team in 28 is chelsea attack and wolves

which I'm perfectly fine with

Besides arsenal defense that I mentioned earlier

[earnest turtle]

Anyone doubling on any defence on wc?

[strong tartan]

nailedness

[median cloud]

how are you fitting in both kane and watkins

[mighty plinth]

Selling Haaland

[median cloud]

Zinc is nailed

for sure

[covert panther]

by 32 I honestly think I will have 0 of these players in my regular team

[earnest turtle]

Maddison castagne

[covert panther]

probably ship them in 31 for city players

[median cloud]

I’m not touching any other city players until 33 minimum

[earnest turtle]

Who are we captaining in 29?

Maddison

[covert panther]

Rashford?

[dry wedge]

Do I wildcard?

[spiral stag]

Thoughts on draft?

[dry wedge]

Is this risky?

[strong tartan]

its basically a meta team

[earnest turtle]

with no haaland

[spiral stag]

Do I replace Kane with Watkins?

[quartz gulch]

27 - roll
28 - Haaland to Nacho/Felix + roll
29 - Mart to Bruno, Gabriel to Shaw
30 - Felix/Toney to Haaland

[plain cove]

Thoughts on this WC draft?

[spiral granite]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[strong tartan]

yea

that's the only risk i guess

[torn tulip]

Get kepa for ward

[thorny dew]

fh28 guys

kane cap

[median cloud]

hm

maybe cash to martinez and get emerson in

I love how this team has sterling on the bench just to take the piss

[earnest turtle]

Which 2 of Henry, Mee, Pinnock?

[median cloud]

first 2

[thorny dew]

henry, rico henry

[shy hemlock]

I was thinking to roll this week and then bring in Estu, Mitoma & Toney for Emerson, Mahrez & Nketiah. I’d then FH in 28.

Is this a good strategy?

[hushed epoch]

Is WC no brainer if you dont have any brighton and brentford players? I got Kane, only Salah from liverpool and Watkins, but I feel like the upcoming DGWs are so strong and known rn that it makes me want to use WC regardless

[dry wedge]

March or Macallister

[shy hemlock]

Is it necessary this week though?

[hushed epoch]

not necessary, but if I WC i do GW26 not GW27

if i hold i'll use it after gw30 most likely

[bright drum]

This is a wildcard that comes from the heart, what does your heart say?

[dry wedge]

Opinions?

[hushed epoch]

my heart doesnt know lmao

[thin hornet]

Wc this week?

[desert sky]

Terms of the picks themselves it’s pretty good. Obviously ppl will look to have some differences but this is fine

[dry wedge]

Yeah that’s what I was thinking but who can I get as a differential?

Maddison?

[bright drum]

Make a draft, see how it looks for 26-29. More pts? Hit that button

[hushed epoch]

its clearly more points if i click it now, it should be always after WC lol. Its about if you get more after GW30 if u WC later, but I feel like rn we have so much knowledge about upcoming DGWs and BGWs it makes me wanna pull the trigger despite my current team is quite good

thats my current draft

i mean WC draft

giving me 10 players in BGW28 and than 13 DGW players with no hits at all

also set up for later doubles of newcas and brighton

[bright drum]

to extend what i mean, its if you think the gain is enough to offset any potential gain from the wait

imo i reckon it will be but cant be sure

[desert sky]

Well in the context of the WC, not sure how “differential” these players are but some picks ppl are debating that you don’t have are: Kane, Maddison, different arsenal/Brighton mid, gk pairings, Forest/villa/2nd new defender(s)

[hushed epoch]

only player in my draft i have doubts about is Reece James

[dry wedge]

I was thinking of kane but I feel getting rid of haaland would be a risk

[desert sky]

Ppl are more so debating Kane vs Watkins from what I’ve seen

[bright drum]

pull the trigger

[dry wedge]

So kane> haaland?

[desert sky]

Nah ppl have Kane and Haaland

[hushed epoch]

any chelsea fans here to give thoughts about picking R. James?

[jagged wren]

James are you wc this or next week

Need opinion from someone good

[hushed epoch]

this

[desert sky]

Im WC this week

[hushed epoch]

oh

that James

lmao

thought ur taking about R. James

[jagged wren]

That james sucks

[hushed epoch]

[dry wedge]

Martenilli or odegaard?

[desert sky]

I had 3 Liverpool, no Brighton (estu maybe ded) no Brentford

No kane either who I’m having on WC

[jagged wren]

Yeah i'm pretty much in the same spot

[thick obsidian]

I hope lodi owners get rewarded

On wcs

[hushed epoch]

whats the deal with lodi

[desert sky]

Lodi owners

[thick obsidian]

Awful pick imo

Gl to them

[hushed epoch]

i mean whats even behind picking him? I dont understand why ppl would get lodi?

[desert sky]

Basically just cheap bench option

[thick obsidian]

Good gw28, and gw29 double

That's about ir

It

[hushed epoch]

[dry wedge]

Who should I get?

[desert sky]

Will take up 3rd bench spot after30

[covert panther]

newcastle are not a good game tho

but I guess people think it is

[thick obsidian]

Rames

[thick obsidian]

Yes this

[hushed epoch]

dont u worry rotation?

[thick obsidian]

If he wants to get sacked then yes

[earnest turtle]

I just hope 26 is a dead week

[hushed epoch]

well it makes sense

what is ur current draft Jazzy?

[thick obsidian]

Haaland draft

Not sending no haaland draft as too many kekws

[desert sky]

Which one are you actually gonna go with tho

[hushed epoch]

thoughts on this one?

[dry wedge]

Macallister or March?

[thick obsidian]

If I cap haaland this gw, then haaland draft

[hushed epoch]

kinda want to go with triple newcas for the future doubles, but dont wanna 2 newcas defenders, thats why Pope over Kepa

[thick obsidian]

If I cap saka, definitely no haaland for me

[desert sky]

No Haaland is what my head is telling me to do but I’m too scared

[thick obsidian]

Newcastle aren't bad still

Can't see them conceding 3+

[hushed epoch]

especially that Bruno is back now

[thick obsidian]

2-0 realistic and he scores twice

[desert sky]

Not bad no, just struggling to score goals atm

[thick obsidian]

I get that

[dry wedge]

Macallister or March

[covert panther]

Id rather take an extra Newcastle defender over all these other defenders people decide to have

[thick obsidian]

But I like saka for cap so happy to avoid a player who will give me -80% eo anyway

We'll see

[desert sky]

Both likely to be bench players anyway

[hushed epoch]

w8 so who ur getting over Haaland then? Ihaenacho?

[desert sky]

If I didn’t have Haaland it’d be Watkins or nacho ye

More than likely Watkins

[high crow]

Watkins ye

For those on a WC, surprised more arent doing Kepa + Raya instead of Ward

[desert sky]

Im on kepa Sanchez

[hushed epoch]

i feel like nearly everybody does this lol. Im surprised more arent doing Raya + Pope

[high crow]

Actually Popes a shout

So I dont need Schar

[hushed epoch]

ye

[quartz gulch]

And im surprised more arent into Pepe and Sanchez

[hushed epoch]

i want double newcas def for future doubles, but dont necesirly wanna go tripper + shar or botman

[covert panther]

Pope so expensive tho

[hushed epoch]

how is money even a problem in ur drafts lol

[quartz gulch]

Yeah true

[covert panther]

can get Botman for 0,9 less

[desert sky]

It’s about money for later transfers

[quartz gulch]

Botman can cover yeah

[covert panther]

because Ive got Haaland Kane and gonna get Bruno for 29

[high crow]

Idk if I WC this week or next,

xP non WC - 48.2 + 2FT
xP WC - 55.5

[quartz gulch]

2 fts

I dont know

You can gamble this week

[high crow]

Ye can dead end with some punts

[quartz gulch]

Yeah

But the extra FT

[high crow]

The left is my currenyt

[quartz gulch]

Comes in clutch

[dry wedge]

March or Macallister

Odegaard or Martenilli

[high crow]

Idk how bad March injury is, so 2 and 1

[high crow]

But then also I think if I WC now I get an extra transfer to manage 28/29?

[thick obsidian]

Jwp lmaoo

[quartz gulch]

Thats what im doing

[thick obsidian]

Are you triggering ocd people by swapping ode and saka between the coloumns

[high crow]

Hahahah it was bothering me too, sorted by price, also not having Trippier and Schar next to each other is annoying

[earnest turtle]

Is anyone here on wc27? Feels like I’m the only one

[high crow]

Me rn

What transfer you doing for 26

[earnest turtle]

Bueno to Dunk probably

[dry wedge]

Who blanks in 32?

[earnest turtle]

Any defender under 5m

[high crow]

Brighton, MCI and then either CHE MUN or LEE FUL

[high crow]

Send the team

[high crow]

Whats your reason for waiting the week?

More info?

[earnest turtle]

Yeah

and triple arsenal

for Bournemouth

[jagged wren]

We have 10 same players lol

[earnest turtle]

No Toney?

[jagged wren]

Ye i've got mitrovic

[earnest turtle]

Won’t have triple arsenal on wc27

[high crow]

I think a WC over this + 2FTs is slightly slightly ahead

But not sure

[earnest turtle]

You have 2fts?

[high crow]

Ye I rolled last week

[earnest turtle]

Could delay wc tbh

[high crow]

Ye depends on Nketiah and Shaw

[dry wedge]

When will we know the guaranteed teams that will blank in 32?

[high crow]

Before GW29 deadline

But you can count BHA and MCI as blanks already, then like 80% MUN CHE, 20% FUL LEE

[earnest turtle]

@high crow this would be my wc in 27 (mings can be botman/castagne)

[high crow]

Hmm I like

NFO double looks great in 29

[dry wedge]

What do you think?

[hushed epoch]

holy fuck, im seriously considering going without Haaland for now

with a front 3 of Kane + Watkins + Toney

[dry wedge]

I will get him back in gw30 but with a hit

[hushed epoch]

i mean if u cap Saka this GW, u wont cap Haaland till gw30

[high crow]

Why if you have extra money tho

Unless your not WCing

[hushed epoch]

ok now i realised it makes so sense at all. It was about having one additional transfer in gw28, but u want to keep ur triple brighton and rashford anyway

unless u want to do brighton mid -> maddison in gw28

[median cloud]

glad to see many teams with sanchez

[high crow]

I think ideally you make Sanchez one of your BHA, then you play a diff keeper, then do a mid out in 28

[median cloud]

he makes the most sense as a keeper

[high crow]

Easier to manage 28 by a mile

[hushed epoch]

hmm actually

u guys going sanchez + kepa?

[high crow]

So in 28 my bench is Sanchez, Rashford, March, Mitoma

[high crow]

Raya Sanchez but bc I have Reece James atm

I want 1 CHE DEF/GK

[desert sky]

Who are you playing in 27

[earnest turtle]

Who is your other gk

[quartz gulch]

it's a waste of a dgw in 27 if u go Raya Sanchez tbh

[hushed epoch]

Aykhan show ur draft

[high crow]

Sorry if its more confusing this way

Kepa is Sanchez tho

[desert sky]

Wait

Ok

[hushed epoch]

if u go sanchez u take 2 brentford defenders i guess? idk if i like it

[high crow]

I would have Raya Rico/Mee and Toney then

[quartz gulch]

if u don't do that you'll have 10 players in 28 tho

[high crow]

Sanchez is the only way to not waste a transfer in 28 for me

[quartz gulch]

i don't like 2 BRE defenders but it seems like the logical thing to do

[hushed epoch]

y but u play 5 doublers in gw27 instead of 6

[high crow]

Ye Im fine with that

[hushed epoch]

so u lose one fix either wayy

it makes no sense imo

[high crow]

But then your wasting a transfer

[quartz gulch]

not just that you will have less players in 28 aswell

if you go for a Brighton def and Raya

[high crow]

This way I just roll in 28

[desert sky]

Assuming 2 bri mids but ye

[dry wedge]

Opinions?

[high crow]

Dont like Pope bc of 29 fixtures

Mac starts over Mitoma for me but both are fine

[quartz gulch]

but Pope gets a double in 31 or 32

right after

and it's a great double

[high crow]

Oh ye forgot

BHA and who?

[quartz gulch]

depends which week

[dry wedge]

Yeah I got him thats what I was thinking

[quartz gulch]

most likely avl/BHA

[high crow]

both are good just checked

Sanchez has mid fixtures both 30 and 31

[quartz gulch]

although going for Sanchez/Pope means you have both keepers doubling in 31/32 but Brighton double isnt as good as Newcastle

[high crow]

So Pope looks good

[quartz gulch]

i'm either going Pope/Sanchez or Kepa/Sanchez

[high crow]

Im Sanchez 100%, then between Raya Kepa Pope now

I fully forgot about the 30/31 double thank you

[quartz gulch]

probably not Raya for me because of 27

so it's Pope Kepa yeah

[high crow]

You BB29?

[quartz gulch]

yes

also 1 thing to consider

Pope plays NFO in 28 and Kepa plays EVE

so both are more likely than Raya to keep a cleansheet there

[high crow]

But then 2 BRE or you have a 3rd somewhere

Maybe 2 defense and no Gabriel

[quartz gulch]

2 defense and no Shaw

for me

James Trippier Double BRE and Gabriel

then doing Gab to Shaw probably in 29

[high crow]

DDG an option?

If you have someone who covers 28 32

Actually you can’t cover 32 then nvm

[quartz gulch]

i think i'm gonna FH32

[high crow]

I’m gonna try for 34

[quartz gulch]

Liv playing NFO and me having 0 players

doesnt sit right

also probably selling some Arsenal assets aswell

[high crow]

Liverpool pissed me off

I had 2 LIV since GW17

[quartz gulch]

they did good this week tbh

not Darwin toh

[hushed epoch]

ok just did a draft, imo if u go Sanchez, only going for 2x Brentford def makes sense. This way u get 6 doublers in gw27 and u can field 11 in GW28 just by transfering out Haaland for Watkins

[high crow]

I had Robbo Nunez Salah..

[hushed epoch]

honestly really interesting, although truth is its about getting 1 more fixture which is prolly like Pinnock vs Leicester over most likely drafts with Raya that play 10 in GW28 so not sure if its worth

[high crow]

Reece James?

[quartz gulch]

finally people catching up to my plan

[high crow]

Ye that’s what we mean

We don’t want to use a transfer in 28

Or have 10

[hushed epoch]

w8 than i dont understand shit

[quartz gulch]

no actually

[hushed epoch]

so what transfer u make in gw27 than

[high crow]

WC

[quartz gulch]

i'm wildcarding this week, rolling 27 and doing Haaland to Felix in 28

[hushed epoch]

ohhh so u WC in gw27?

[quartz gulch]

ayhkan is wc27

[hushed epoch]

well ok i get this now

[quartz gulch]

its a little different

[high crow]

Ye, I have 2FTs right now

[hushed epoch]

but why dont u just wc in gw26 and just bank the transfer

[high crow]

Sorry should’ve said

I can but then I don’t see a good move for me in 28

Maybe I do BBA out then

BHA

[hushed epoch]

do u think its worth it just to play like mee or pinnock vs leicester in gw28?

[quartz gulch]

I think it is yeah

I mean I don't expect points

but i wanna fill 11

and I can't do that with a Brighton defender

[high crow]

I’m predicted 7.5 points more this week if I WC, but that’s without 2FTs, not sure if it’s worth the few points for extra info on like March and Estu

[quartz gulch]

thats why Sanchez over Raya makes sense to me

what's interesting is you can punt on Davies or a TOT defender instead of Brentford

but it costs and extra transfer in 29 to upgrade them to a doubler

[hushed epoch]

rn im between two drafts, both of them is Haaland -> Watkins in gw28 and Gabriel & Odegaard -> Shaw and Bruno in GW29. Differences are:

1. In first you get Haaland back for Watkins/Toney and effectively go threemium since GW30
2. 2nd lets you get Haaland back for Kane

[high crow]

But harms BB29 then?

[hushed epoch]

actually odegaard or martinelli btw, cuz im not sure which one i go with

[high crow]

Ode

[hushed epoch]

prolly yes

[quartz gulch]

that's why I wanna just go double Brentford

but if i'm being honest

I don't see a cs for Brentford in either of the games in 29 or in 28

[high crow]

Is Mee over Pinnock/Henry even worth it

[quartz gulch]

but fixtures is better than no fixtures

[thick obsidian]

Bruno and rash are safe but utd have 3 prem games in 6 days

Genuinely shaw could be rested if he's lb

I know it's eth

[high crow]

Maybe he puts him LCB

But ye only Bruno Rash probably

[thick obsidian]

That is likely too

[quartz gulch]

that's a good question that i'm looking to find an answer to before i lock my WC draft, rn I have Mee and Pinnock

[high crow]

I’m on Mee Henry atm

[thick obsidian]

I think so

They rely on long throws too much

To not get a cb

Imo

[high crow]

Mee is like Brentfords Tarkowski

[thick obsidian]

Henry would be my 3rd choice

[hushed epoch]

@thick obsidian look at those drafts pls and my explenations, which one u'd go with

[median cloud]

would anyone go barnes if maddo is dead

[hushed epoch]

wanna hear ur opinion

[median cloud]

just curious

[thick obsidian]

Will read later, eating now

[quartz gulch]

in my opinion they are both good

but I prefer the one with James in it

[thick obsidian]

Think leciester avg 0.8 goals without maddison

1.9 goals with him

8 and 16 game sample

[quartz gulch]

not sure if Kane over Watkins is worth a transfer in 29 tho

[high crow]

Doesn’t matter tho? Both you can decide in a couple weeks what you want to do unless I read that wrong, but I like defense in 2nd more

[thick obsidian]

Like 2 more

But very similar

[high crow]

Idk if Schar > anyone else for 28/29 purposes

[hushed epoch]

it does matter. The 2nd one ur priced out of getting in Haaland for Watkins/Toney later, can only get him back for Kane if you get Bruno

[quartz gulch]

@hushed epoch can you show me your 27 bench with the 2nd team?

[high crow]

Ah didn’t realize

[quartz gulch]

if u gonna start Kane who you bench for him

[hushed epoch]

its raya+mitoma+mac alister+rashford

[quartz gulch]

cause with Watkins u bench Watkins

[hushed epoch]

in both teams actually

[quartz gulch]

i mean 27

[hushed epoch]

ohh 27

odegaard, gabriel, kepa and most likely james

so quite strong 😄

[quartz gulch]

odegaard is a fine bench i guess

[high crow]

Did we have Kepa vs Pope argument properly?

[hushed epoch]

yee its w/e

[quartz gulch]

so it's Haaland Toney Kane - March Mitoma Rashford Saka

[thick obsidian]

I'm playing kepa over raya in gw26/28

[quartz gulch]

that's strong af

[high crow]

I’m going without Raya completely I think, Sanchez 27 and 29 both better

[quartz gulch]

yeah 1 thing I don't like about the Pope/Sanch duo is that I don't think any of them keep a cs in 26

think Brighton concedes to West Ham

Kepa is better to have there

[high crow]

Sanchez does imo

I’m on Sanchez + Kepa/Pope

[quartz gulch]

you just never know with West Ham

[high crow]

Ye the Forrest game shocked me

[thick obsidian]

I feel like I need to own 2 brentford defenders then which I don't like

[high crow]

Who’s your 5 atm?

[thick obsidian]

James trip dunk mee gabriel

[quartz gulch]

why not tho if you have Gab Trippier and James you can easily just bench both Brentford def rest of the way

[hushed epoch]

exactly, going for Sanchez makes sense cuz u can field full 11 in GW28 with just one transfer, but only if u go for 2 brentford defs

[quartz gulch]

that's a strong trio anyways

[high crow]

Ye I see what you mean, would have to be Dunk Raya switched around which I don’t like

But then GW28 don’t you have 10 from WC

[thick obsidian]

11

Sell 1 brighton mid for maddison

[high crow]

Ah ok

[quartz gulch]

see that i dont like

Brighton double in 29 is so good

[thick obsidian]

Agree but maddison has the best dgw29

[quartz gulch]

Brightons better

[thick obsidian]

Or at least on par

[quartz gulch]

why not just go Ode to Maddy?

in 29

[thick obsidian]

Cos that would be 10 players

Tbh, this is all solved by ignoring haaland lmao

[quartz gulch]

ignoring a 85% owned player is kinda hard

tho

[thick obsidian]

Ode is a very hard sell vs leeds at home

Gonna hate it when I do it

[hushed epoch]

what i dont like with this is that soon enough u gonna want triple brighton again

[quartz gulch]

yeah

[thick obsidian]

But gw30/31 is kinda poor fixtures for them

At worst I buy one back if need to

Gw33

[quartz gulch]

but also I know i'm gonna hate clogging my midfield with 2 brighton players when we have other mids going off

[desert sky]

Brighton attack pretty good too tho

[quartz gulch]

City mids or Liverpool mids or then Ode/Mart if we sell them

[desert sky]

The arsenal players I imagine become man United players

[high crow]

Is NEW vs nfo > CHE vs EVE? For CS

Don’t know if I’m being biased

[quartz gulch]

no

i don't know

it's close

[desert sky]

Thing is Newcastle are away and Chelsea are home right

[quartz gulch]

i would rather have Kepa tbh but

[thick obsidian]

Not close

[quartz gulch]

who knows

[thick obsidian]

Imo

[quartz gulch]

i watched Eve vs Arsenal and they just sat back and did nothing

[thick obsidian]

Everton assuming no dcl are the worst attack in the league

[desert sky]

I’d say chelsea home imo

[high crow]

DCL is shite too

[quartz gulch]

but the thing is I don't like having double Newcastle somewhere else

like it's Trippier + smth

[median cloud]

I will cope with ward

[quartz gulch]

and that smth if it isnt Pope

[median cloud]

if I play 32

he has a good fix there

[quartz gulch]

i dont know who it can be

[thick obsidian]

1 Newcastle is fine

I'll vibe bruno g if they have a dgw

[quartz gulch]

i want the extra fix in 31/32 tho

[high crow]

26: Kepa = Sanchez > Pope
27: Sanchez > Both
28: Kepa > Pope
29: Kepa > Pope (Assuming BB)
30: Pope > Kepa
31: Pope > Kepa

[quartz gulch]

and I don't wanna spend transfers later on getting Newcastle players

[desert sky]

Post gw29 new better fix than chelsea

[quartz gulch]

so what are u making of it?

[thick obsidian]

I'm a sucker for planning but you're all prioritising too far ahead

Gw26-29 focus

Then decide stuff after

With fts and fh

[high crow]

I think Pope potentially but then no Shchar for mine?

[desert sky]

I think you can do both

[quartz gulch]

you can plan up until 32

[desert sky]

But obv not overkill on long term

[quartz gulch]

you always gotta think ahead

[high crow]

Ye but for keepers I’m not gonna touch at all this season, so up to 32 including the blank I want to be sound

[thick obsidian]

Yes with keepers

Not getting a 2nd Newcastle player for 6 gws ahead

[high crow]

Pope > Kepa by a lot in 30 31 but 28 29 isn’t much of a difference

[earnest turtle]

Pope

[quartz gulch]

if you go without Pope then when 31 comes you'll want another Newcastle player cause its a avl/BRI dgw

and guess what

you already have 2

[earnest turtle]

Pope is so expensive

[high crow]

That’s why I’m checking if I can afford everything now

[quartz gulch]

he's expensive but money isnt that bad

it used to be bad when we had 7 defenders to own

now it's all peanuts

also double Brighton in mid it's like what 10.5 mil in total?

there's money

[earnest turtle]

need to keep around 2m itb if you are trying to do saka to bruno

[high crow]

Renan Lodi option for 28 + 29?

Then cheap for bench after

[quartz gulch]

that's why you don't get Kane imo

or you sell him in 29

[earnest turtle]

Prefer Navas but the lodi combo is better

[earnest turtle]

I will get kane

[tardy oriole]

Then by GW30 have the last team

Kane is so consistent it's better to get rid of Haaland for a week or two imo

[high crow]

But then who do I downgrade for Ode to Bruno?

Or Pope Mee to Pinnock and Kepa

Then I can afford it

Unless I know I’m getting rid of a Kane or something for sure

[quartz gulch]

I haven't checked Kane drafts

no Watkins in 28 kinda insane imo

i guess you can do

28 Haaland to Watkins

[high crow]

I’d rather have Kane than Haaland right now, then 30 I can do him to Haaland

[quartz gulch]

Haaland plays in a better team

and scorees more goals

and has higher ownership

[high crow]

True

But just too many transfers to manage this

[quartz gulch]

yes

it is

[high crow]

Need to find a way for 0 hits

[thick obsidian]

If I had to choose between haaland and kane, it's haaland

Then swap to watkins/nacho

[median cloud]

nvm my chat was scrolled

[high crow]

What if I WC26 then roll 27, even though I have 2FTs now

[median cloud]

kinda hope new-bha happens in 30 not 31

[quartz gulch]

it's key

[thick obsidian]

How likely was this

[median cloud]

just to get it done earlier

[median cloud]

I honestly don't know

[quartz gulch]

not very likely

1.26

[thick obsidian]

Thought they said gw35/36 was more likely

[median cloud]

they might be waiting for brighton to play their fa cup qf

[thick obsidian]

Well a 4% chance happened yest

Could happen

[median cloud]

that might just be on the presupposition that all april fixtures are already announced

[high crow]

But when they win it’s worse for FA no?

[median cloud]

but that's not necessarily true

[frank karma]

sorry to interrupt, any ideas for the 2 spots?

[thorny dew]

mid could be maddison

[median cloud]

🇯🇵

[trail hemlock]

Or mitoma

[thick obsidian]

James, mitoma

[frank karma]

yeah I've considered him leaves me with 4.5 itb

[high crow]

Reece and March

[thorny dew]

I mean if you're fh28 then its defo shaw and mitoma

[thick obsidian]

That's 6 blanks

For gw28

[thorny dew]

bruh i literally said if he's fh28

[thick obsidian]

Oh

Fh28 dumb anyway

[thorny dew]

which one is better

[thick obsidian]

@median cloud

[thorny dew]

to fh

[median cloud]

chatting

[trail hemlock]

Is this ok?

[high crow]

Idk about Gabriel

[trail hemlock]

It’s either him or zinch

Idk

[bright drum]

Help I am being drawn into reece james NOO

[trail hemlock]

gw18 James was horrible

Going back there tho

[jagged wren]

Don't do it moody

[median cloud]

don't think I have owned james since tuchel days

[jagged wren]

Good

[bright drum]

He is calling me i feel his smile and i cant do shit about it

[median cloud]

this game

[jagged wren]

I'm not convinced potter plays him before dortmund

[thick obsidian]

https://twitter.com/FPL_Harry/status/1631263359331860480?t=hzMqFhTPowezWm1D-Nm2uQ&s=19 some keeper help maybe

The Sanchez + Kepa rotation is unbelievable between now and GW38 🔥

LEE (H)

[bright drum]

i think the 1 thing that can stop me is game time yeah

[median cloud]

I don't want to rotate keepers anymore

[jagged wren]

Yeah fuck rotating keepers

[median cloud]

this is my 5th season playing fpl and every time it's been pain

[jagged wren]

Gave up on that last season

[bright drum]

ive never really done it so im tempted, cheap 2nd gk lifer

[median cloud]

conclusion: will still have ward on wc

[thick obsidian]

I agree but different with extra dgws

With sanchez

As oppose to gw1 gk rotate

Order goes ward > 4.5m > rotation keepers > premium keepers

Ward being best

[quartz gulch]

i mean we are kinda forced

to get 2 keepers

and we have to rotate

had Kepa/Ward and I haven't started Ward once tho

but if I had Sanchez I would def rotate here and there

[thick obsidian]

OK I've tried kepa and sanchez now

[dry wedge]

Opinions?

[spiral stag]

is anyone on kepa + pope

[thick obsidian]

I see what it does

[thick obsidian]

Pretty standard

So yea

[dry wedge]

Who can I replace?

[thick obsidian]

It's alright

[thick obsidian]

Just preference so no one

[dry wedge]

Who do I start?

[thorny dew]

i dont like

[thick obsidian]

Those 11

[thorny dew]

double newcastle defence

[thick obsidian]

Also 10m on gks

[spiral stag]

where i’m at

[thorny dew]

dont think money is much of a problem

[high crow]

Depends on the need of Bruno

[thick obsidian]

Atm

[high crow]

29 money will start being hard

[thick obsidian]

Looks fine

[sharp pivot]

The more I think about it the less I know what to do.

[thorny dew]

haaland kane bruno can be fit in quite easily

[spiral stag]

tempted to go watkins over haaland

[sharp pivot]

Are you all going without fh28?

[thick obsidian]

I have a new fave draft

[sharp pivot]

Is anyone considering a whu def? They got easy fixtures.

[spiral stag]

what is that

[thorny dew]

i am going 27 fh28 29 with triple brighton triple united and triple brentford

[thick obsidian]

Just looking at a couple of things first

[sharp pivot]

Was leaning more and more towards something like that myself.

Don’t feel like I can go without Kane and Haaland. But also want a bb29 as good as possible.

[thick obsidian]

Two things of contrary if you imply sgw players are bad for bb

A dgw keeper with arsenal/haaland/kane combo is a perfectly good bb

[sharp pivot]

Not necessarily but you’d like to have as many doublers as possible.

[thick obsidian]

Just won't have 6-8 fixtures

[thick obsidian]

So it is contrary lol

[thorny dew]

i will be rooting for fulham in the fa cup

[thick obsidian]

You only don't want them cos they don't double

[trail hemlock]

Is anyone going raya+kepa?

[thick obsidian]

It's an option

It's pick two from raya, sanchez, pope, kepa, ward

[thorny dew]

i mean even if my bb was ward haaland kane saka id be fine with it

[sharp pivot]

March/mcallister over Fernandes in gw27?

[thorny dew]

its a dodgy chip

[thick obsidian]

That's a given despite soton

[thick obsidian]

Ye if you told me I had to bb sanchez, gabriel, saka, ode vs Leeds I'd be very happy

Best sgw bb I'd ever get

[quartz gulch]

i mean

27 also has insane sgw

[thick obsidian]

Way worse

[quartz gulch]

it's double ars aswell

but i guess leeds at home better than fulham away

[thick obsidian]

6th vs 18th

Or w/e they are

• home

Yea

[thorny dew]

fulham away is a pretty terrible fixture

[quartz gulch]

they gonna win easily imo but still benching them

[sharp pivot]

The way it stands id get ode on wc27 but have to bench him 🤨

[spiral stag]

get maddison then

[sharp pivot]

That’s not the point, meaning I have to bench a good player.

[spiral stag]

oh right

[sharp pivot]

Rather start ode/mart against palace than Maddison against Brentford, right?

[spiral stag]

would you not prefer maddison’s double in 29?

[thick obsidian]

He has ft for that

I like going into gw29 with 2 fts though

Straight after IB

[quartz gulch]

cant get Bruno if I go Kane

in 29

[high crow]

How far off

[quartz gulch]

like 1.5 smth

[high crow]

Ben Mee to Pinnock/Henry?

Then what 2 keepers

[quartz gulch]

I could go Saka to Bruno but I prefer Mart to Bruno

[high crow]

Saka has to stay imo

[quartz gulch]

yeah would have to do that

and probably no Pope then

[high crow]

Oh great

Kepa Sanchez

Mee to 4.5 BRE

[quartz gulch]

that could work

but hopefully not a lot of price changes

my plan is to go Haaland to Watkins in 28

that's going to be expensive because Watkins will go up .2 or .3

til then

[high crow]

I might do BHA mid and Haaland to Watkins and Maddison or something

in 28

[quartz gulch]

for me it's either

Mart to Maddison

or just adjust my team to do Mart to Bruno

in 29

cause 28 don't think I'll use 2 FTs

just doing Haaland to Wat

[sharp pivot]

Would you start gw28 with 9 players to save the fh?

[high crow]

Depends on the team but no

[quartz gulch]

yeah

[high crow]

Send the 28 team

[quartz gulch]

if u have the right players sure

[high crow]

The 32 blank isnt that bad to use it soon, same with doubles not being as big down the line

[quartz gulch]

for my team 32 blank is pretty bad

[sharp pivot]

I’d need to get a def instead of shaw on my wc though. One that plays in 28.

[quartz gulch]

I won't have the right players

I'm not getting Shaw on wc

don't see the point of it

i would just do

Gabriel to Shaw in 29

instead

[sharp pivot]

This but a playing player instead of Shaw.

Badia is also far from a certain pick.

[quartz gulch]

this is why I prefer

Sanchez/Pinnock instead of Raya/Estu

the extra fix here

[sharp pivot]

Estu has a far higher ceiling though. But fair point.

[quartz gulch]

yeah but

3 games vs 2 games

[sharp pivot]

It would mean you’d have to make a gk transfer for 32 (if not on fh)

[quartz gulch]

that's correct

haven't thought of that

Sanchez/Kepa locks FH32

[sharp pivot]

And if I can save my fh I’d like to use it in 34 or 37, I think.

But still time enough to decide that.

[quartz gulch]

fair enough

[high crow]

You can argue doing a Kepa out in 32

[quartz gulch]

meh

[sharp pivot]

Most likely as brighton will have more doubles.

[quartz gulch]

if Brighton Chelsea United and City blank in 32

that's like half my team gone

[thick obsidian]

ye lol

[quartz gulch]

i'd just free hit

[thick obsidian]

agree

and you;d have these players in your gw34/37 teams anyway

[high crow]

FH32 > FH34/37 imo

Only 4/5 teams doubling that we will already have

[spiral stag]

are people picking 2 chelsea defenders

well kepa and someone like RJ

[high crow]

I am ye

[spiral stag]

then i need to decide between Lodi and a second brentford defender

[high crow]

I have both

Trippier, Mee, Henry, Reece, Lodi

[spiral stag]

no zinch?

or an arsenal defender

[high crow]

Nope, thought Gabriel for a bit but gonna go without for now

[thick obsidian]

I feel gw26 and gw28 are pretty free clean sheets but it's not that important

For arsenal

Extend to gw29 if you don't sell him

[spiral stag]

only thing putting me off 2 bre defenders is their double in 29

2 difficult games

28 isn’t great either

[high crow]

I think Im overrating BB29 a bit

Like forcing too many doubles

[spiral stag]

i think i will have 13 or 14 doublers

[earnest turtle]

Just take 1 out

That’s what I’m doing at least

[spiral stag]

or just start with 1

i have an arsenal defender i will want to move at that point

[earnest turtle]

brentford defender has 1 more fix

[spiral stag]

yeah true

i like arsenal fix in 26 + 28 more then brentford

will 100% own an arsenal defender

[earnest turtle]

I’ll have an arsenal defender for 26

27 I’ll wc 🥶

[iron saddle]

Should I definitely be wildcarding this gw?

[high crow]

I might do Nketiah Robertson to Gabriel and Watkins I have 2FTs

then WC27

[thick obsidian]

We need to look at Cash btw

Do like villa atm

He fits really well

[thick obsidian]

Not definitely

[iron saddle]

What would be the better option?

[thick obsidian]

Wc

[high crow]

Next week imo

[spiral stag]

rotation risk?

[thick obsidian]

Nah

[spiral stag]

also villa defence is piss poor

[iron saddle]

And what transfers do I use this week?

[high crow]

How many FTs and money

[thick obsidian]

3 cs in 8 since emery is ok

Home vs palace and Bournemouth

Then dgw

[neon jolt]

cash has regained his place now and playing well from what villa fans are saying

[spiral stag]

the double is tricky and the stats for villa defence is toward the bottom from what i remember

on xg conceded

[thick obsidian]

Tbh if someone said cucurella was out for 3 months, I'd go chilwell and James in a heartbeat lol
