Help me on my wildcard:

[willow bobcat]

10.7m left in the bank for a defender and a midfielder… how would you advise I finish the wildcard? Would you make any other transfers?

[neon night]

What’s wrong with ward prowse

[willow bobcat]

I would only be able to afford a 4.4 defender

[neon night]

Isn’t bell 4m

[willow bobcat]

Who’s bell

[olive turtle]

Already have Bowens, don't see any reason to double there

[neon night]

Luton town defender

[willow bobcat]

True. Thing is I would have jwp if I could afford him

[willow bobcat]

Whooooooo jk

But yeah a Luton 3rd defender sounds a bit rough

[olive turtle]

That's his 3rd defender

[neon night]

Wont lascelles start with botmans injury tho

[willow bobcat]

For like 1 or 2 weeks

Maybe

[olive turtle]

International break after gw8, so it's like 1 or 2 weeks max

[neon night]

Oh

[willow bobcat]

Thing is I would like someone like Diaby

But would have to downgrade elsewhere

Same for JWP

Or I could punt on someone like hwang and have a solid 3rd defender

@deft vale I feel like your team is actually really good cos then you don’t have this trippier headache

[deft vale]

Lol

Diaby...?

Idk how much that leaves you with for a defender

Like, can you afford diaby and udogie?

[willow bobcat]

xD

[neon night]

I’m 0.1m of replacing enciso with diaby

[deft vale]

Ouchies

Yeah no trippier fixes all of this

That's the problem

You could just have jwp instead of Bowen

And then watch west ham games from behind the sofa

[willow bobcat]

As a West Ham fan that would be tough lol

[deft vale]

Ah

[willow bobcat]

But yeah I see Bowen doing really well tbh

[deft vale]

Go all in on turner and a 3.9

[willow bobcat]

Honestly not the worst shout 😂

[deft vale]

Fuck man this is tough

[willow bobcat]

Fr

[deft vale]

The trippier headache is real

[willow bobcat]

This is how my team is stuck atm

But I most likely will change it

[deft vale]

That looks so good until you get to the gks

[willow bobcat]

Fr

Hwang punt could be a shout

Or even soucek

[deft vale]

Or Neto

[willow bobcat]

Ye

Soucek could’ve got 4 or 5 vs Sheffield United and has a new more advanced position

[deft vale]

Really?

[willow bobcat]

The issue is I don’t see kudus being benched for long

[deft vale]

Idk how your midfield has been lining up, enlighten me?

Or how your whole team is lining up tbh

[willow bobcat]

Soucek, JWP, Alvarez, paqueta all start

Alvarez defensive midfielder

Soucek has a lot of license to go forwards

For 4.9 it’s a joke, but yeah with kudus around it makes the transfer difficult

[deft vale]

Yeah

[willow bobcat]

I think over half West Ham’s chances last game fell to soucek

And they were all very scoreable

Thing is bowen is just so clinical

He’s basically Son from wish

[deft vale]

https://tenor.com/view/kronk-point-debate-argument-angel-gif-17274775

[willow bobcat]

But yeah will maybe have to sacrifice 5th midfielder and punt on someone cheaper

Maybe will just punt on soucek

All those shots were just soucek

[copper juniper]

you cant just put in all the players you want

then fill in the gaps with shitters

thats so far from how fpl works

its more balance and sacrifice

not putting soucek in so you can have tripper salah haaland son and maddi

[willow bobcat]

So who would you play over soucek who costs more

[copper juniper]

i wouldnt try to fit in all those players

you just need to get it into your head

[willow bobcat]

I would personally like Diaby

[copper juniper]

that you cant have everyone

its crazy to me not to have diaby salah maddi and son straight away on wc

[stray pike]

how much is soucek

[willow bobcat]

4.9

[willow bobcat]

So if I put Diaby in for soucek who do I take out

[copper juniper]

bro its your team

[stray pike]

i wouldnt buy tripps

[copper juniper]

but yeah trips

personally

[stray pike]

its crazy for me to think that with his returns but i think castle have had their run already

imo

[copper juniper]

what

[willow bobcat]

I got value tied up in trippier that’s the thing

[copper juniper]

they had the hardest fix

lmao

[willow bobcat]

@copper juniper you can’t just say soucek is bad and then when I say to transfer in Diaby for him you can’t think of anything

[copper juniper]

i just did

[willow bobcat]

You did

But there’s no logic

If I bring in someone like Diaby for him, who would you take out / sacrifice? @copper juniper

[stray pike]

i mean their recent ones lol

[copper juniper]

as i said

its your team

personally trippier

[willow bobcat]

???

Ah ok

Yeah trippier is a fair shout

I just have value tied up in him

[copper juniper]

how much has he risen ?

[willow bobcat]

Probably not loads

But tbh I feel like he’ll do well personally

I’m beginning to think the best sacrifice is 5th midfielder

As someone like neto for example is comparable to Diaby

[copper juniper]

hes not

villa create like x10 times more chances than wolves

[willow bobcat]

More so than a 4.5m to trippier imo

[stray pike]

its up to you lol

[copper juniper]

burn and tripper are a lot closer than neto and diaby

are you only keeping because you have 0.1 in tripper

[willow bobcat]

Set pieces

And assists

9/10 times he’ll outperform burn

[copper juniper]

then keep him bro

[willow bobcat]

Yeah it’s tough

That’s 5th midfielder spot

[willow bobcat]

This is possible but then my defence is too weak imo

That team looks crazy good

But yeah defence is shocking

[copper juniper]

swap lamtey for beyer

or taylor

lascelles is a hard no

how much is bown

swap for gordon

then get archer as 3rd striker

start him this week

yeah bowen -> gordon
woodraw -> archer
lascelles -> burn
lamptey -> beyer or upgrade

[willow bobcat]

Bowen to Gordon sounds like a great way to lose points imo

Lamptey 0.1 cheaper than beyer, I know he doesn’t start tho

Hopefully another 4.3m forward

[neon night]

Turner did well last game but also made some big mistakes so he might get dropped for the new Greek keeper
