My squad has 10 starters (if you include Édouard) and I have Gray and Cornet who are both doubts.

I've already taken a -4 so is it worth taking another -4 to do one of Gray or Cornet to Foden/Mahrez?

I'll be using WC next week so this is literally a short term punt...

I'd wait to hear the extent of Cornet's injury before doing anything as he has a double.

Foden has been a complete waste of space for me mate. Twice this season I've had him in and he usually get's 2's and 3's playing most of the game as a false 9 for the best team in the league. Incredibly frustrating. Glad to see the back of him.

Cheers I'll go with Saiss after their press conference. I believe Coady now goes up for corners but he's a non-factor for any sort of returns.
Coady actually has a bit of goal threat these days and is absolutely nailed. With that said, Saiss has more upside.

I already know the answer to this: "he's touch and go"

Yeah just looked up his numbers. 0.6 xGI isn't great. And Mahrez always disappointed when you need him to play thanks to Pep Roulette. Sancho is the other option... I might just leave it.

Thought long and hard about it. Saving my last Free Hit and keeping Salah. Roberts and Weghorst in for Lowton and Maupay (-4)

DDG
Saiss Roberts Cash Cancelo
Bruno (vc) Bowen Olise
Weghorst (c) Watkins Dennis

Subs: Foster, Salah, TAA, Saka

Mainly hoping to get my points from Bruno and the BUrnley doublers (lol)

Here's my potential WC team for after this week:

Ramsdale
TAA, Cancelo, T.Silva, Tierney
Salah, Son, Raphinha
Kane, Broja, ASM (will become Weigy after their two doubles)

Subs: Foster, Kilman, Ramsey, Brownhill :lol:

0.2 in the bank

Thoughts?

Have a bare 11 starters this week, so can get through without a chip.

However, no Bruno/Son/City mid or attackers/Kane.

Weigy and Brownhill (!) as doublers.

Could do Saka to Rapha, or Salah to Son.
But would then need to get Salah back next week.

Are we expecting any more games to be added to 28/29? If we are, then that could work as a wildcard/BB, as leaving it until 35/36 could be a bit late I think.

There's talk Chelsea could get a double on GW28 but that's literally something I saw on Twitter so could be wrong.

Are people seriously going to captain Weghorst? Looks like a proper trap.

So GW26 didn't turn out too bad in the end (glad I didn't take too many extra hits bringing in Arsenal/Wolves defenders). Here's my squad now heading into GW27:

My team is currently:

DDG Sanchez
Gabriel** Cancelo TAA** Reguilon Digne
Bowen Salah** Bruno Coutinho Saka**
Dennis Hwang Broja
** no matches in GW27.

Would you FH this team? Could get a starting XI (though not necessarily ideal options) for a hit. But have currently no Burnley / Spurs players, and rely on Reguilon, Hwang, Dennis starting.
Think I'd captain Son either way.

Picking a FH team quite easy this week. Difficult decision is who to captain... Sterling? Son? Fernandes? Weghorst?

Meant to be another chelski game added. One of two, Mr Crellin says one more likely due to TV requirements.. expect to know in coming days.

Have Mahrez, Bruno and Son on FH but don’t have enough to get Sterling as the fourth mid. Worth getting sancho? Or too risky doubling up on our hot and cold attack.

He’s a differential which may or may not be a good thing/what you prefer. Could get 2 or 10 points the way he/we play.

depends on your risk strategy.

Have people figured out which round is looking particularly nice for a bench boost? As in perhaps doing the WC before said round…. Thanks!

Edit: Seems like GW36 is the one given the reply a few posts above mine.

It's certainly dangerous, but as Brownhill showed last week a 2 gamer can often be a better bet.
My only alternative right now is Ronaldo, which even playing Watford doesn't feel too great.

36 for sure but is largely an unknown;

28/29 actually looks pretty decent for it too.

You have 6 teams with doubles in 29 that play in 28. Featuring Arsenal, Liverpool, Tott.

Tott and Arse play us and Liverpool though for 1 awkward game each. However Tott just beat City 3-2 to show the power of the double game.

Anyone got a decent week 28 wildcard to play a 29 bench boost then?

Gonna be a massive DGW thanks to the teams that progress in fa cup (so most likely city, West ham and Chelsea involved).
Do you think wildcard 28 BB 29 and FH 36 (and still the other FH to play somewhere) is the best bet then?

Or try and cling on to week 35 to do the wildcard and BB 36?

TV games are due to be confirmed today,....hopefully just before deadline..was meant to be Monday but the "week commencing" always seems to be 4.45/5pm Fridaty

I had thought 28 didn't look too clever for a wildcard, but looking at it closer, all 6 doublers in 29 play in 28, so if Chelsea got a double added in too, it'd surely be prime wildcard material for sure followed by the BB week 29.


I think I may well do Salah to Son this week for free, knowing that I can get Salah back in next week with the wildcard.

I am on holiday with little WiFi but would appreciate feedback on my free hit team! I won't be able to dabble tomorrow on it.

Pope
Maguire cancelo Roberts
Son mahrez sancho Bruno
Kane weghorst borja


Livramento on bench and the rest are non starters.


Thoughts? Find Sancho over Foden risky but hes looked red hot of late.
