Meh. Finished on 87 thanks to Cash and no thanks to Mo. My nearest rival got 123 on his BB and has closed the gap to 45 points which is nothing really. He has a wildcard and a FH whereas I just have a FH left. What he does with that wildcard is going to be crucial I feel.

That DGW was a mess:

Dubravka - conceded both games
Digne - was a SGW player in the end
Rudiger - Ditto
Raphinha - lowest scoring player in my team... And I captained him :lol:
Willock - Two blanks
Ramsey - Two blanks
Broja - Two blanks
Jiminez - One goal and was benched first game

My SGW players:

TAA - double digit haul
Salah - blanked (thank God)
Kane - double digit haul

Also had Saka and Davies on the bench with 18 points :mad:

Ended on an abysmal 75 points and rank fell to 42k...

Need a big one this week so I'll keep chasing DGW players :lol:

Oof. Massive week for variance this one. I dropped to 38.5k myself. How are you looking for this double? I'm on...

DDG
TAA Saiss T Silva Cancelo
Salah Son Kulusevski Saka
Watkins Weghorst

Subs: Foster, Dennis, Cash, Ramsey

Debating a -4 to bring in Ramsdale for the double and to have a playing GK in 30 which I probably will do tbh.

Raphinha and T.Silva out. Countinho and Cash in. -4.

Or is that too focused on chasing old points?

Problem is, I can only afford to do it tonight before any price changes. Villa’s fixtures aren’t easy either. Bah.
The 2 players you're proposing to take out play Newcastle and Norwich at home next.
Surely not the right time?

Great read, re-lived my own pain.

Imagine a 75 (or 77 for me) point week when pretty much everything didn't come off!!

Sticking to the plan and bench boosting this week.

Difficult to shift a singler for a doubler, as Ramsey is cheapo, Raph has Norwich H, the 2 Chelsea defense brothers have a home v Newcastle, and even Adams has a home v Watford.

The icing on this cake made of shit was Raphinha getting that needless yellow right at the death. Meant he was on the same points in two games as a Salah blank over one game. I literally could have put captaincy on any other player and came out a few points higher.

Oof. Massive week for variance this one. I dropped to 38.5k myself. How are you looking for this double? I'm on...

That looks decent mate. I'm on:

Ramsdale
Tierney, TAA, Davies
, Rudiger
Salah, Saka, Willock, Raphinha
Kane, Broja

Bench: Dubravka, Jimenez, Digne, Ramsey

Rolling my transfer so I can put out 10 players GW30 with no hits and user my FH chips later.

No idea what to do here. Do I get Salah for -8? Or Kane for -8?

Ramsdale
TAA - VVD
- Cancelo
Son - Coutinho - Raphinha - ESR
Jimenez - Wood - Broja

DDG - Digne - James - Bowen and 3.2 ITB.

---

a) Salah route: DDG, James, Bowen > 3.9 GK, Thomas, Salah -8

Ramsdale
TAA - VVD
- Cancelo
Salah (C) - Son - Coutinho - Raphinha - ESR
Jimenez - Wood

Exact funds. Thomas because he faces Brentford in the blank week. I'll have 8 players for GW30.

---

b) Kane route: James, Bowen, Jimenez > Doherty, Saka, Kane -8

Ramsdale
TAA - VVD
- Doherty
Son
- Coutinho - Raphinha - Saka - ESR
Kane (C)
- Wood

9 players for GW30. 3 transfers I'd be doing would all have a DGW now + fixture in GW30. I don't have that kind of luxury in the Salah route.

Usually I'd hands down prefer the Kane route. But the problem is everyone else will own and captain Salah. He could very easily haul in both games and that would leave me with a 40+ points deficit.

Had a disastrous GW28 (lost 20 points at the top of my ML) thanks to a poor choice of captaincy.
My lineup for next week:

Ramsdale
TAA
Rudiger Dier
Salah (C)
Willock Saka Raphinha
Broja Kane Lacazette

Subs: Dubravka, Kilman, Ramsey, James

Seems like an easy hold for transfers this week, then use two to get out 10 in GW30?

Bench boost doesn't seem worthwhile.

Thoughts on Toney as a two week punt before using my wildcard. I want to replace Dennis but need them to have a game in 30. Although I guess if they double this week and blank the next it makes no real difference.

Timing is probably wrong, and it’ll likely blow up in my face like every other recent fantasy football decision, but I am sick of Raphinha and his 1 goal in 10 games. I just had to get Coutinho back in. Although when I owned Coutinho for 3 weeks he scored 2,2,3 points, so I suspect he will return to that form.

Why was Kilman dropped the last game? Just got him in on my WC for 28 and 30.

119 points last week with no chip/hit, which I was happy with, and just pulled the WC trigger. Team now is:
Ramsdale
TAA White Kulu Son Saka
Pukki Kane

Foster
Dennis
Coady
Amartey

Should be able to field nine or ten GW 30 without a hit/chip too, leaving a couple of FHs for the run in. I'm still absolutely miles off the top 100k but hoping i can crack the top 250k by season's end (420k atm)

Please Salah be out.
Remember Liverpool's luck is unbeatable...best 2 players miss super easy games for the AFCON, covid doesn't take their key attackers out etc.
Players get sent off 1min after getting back in the tie in Europe..
Players missing super easy chances week after week against them.

Yeah I fear they might win it all. CL will be hard. The only easy draw is us if we qualify. fecking hell if they get us and smash us.

They may have had some luck with the ref in the cup final, but yes they are also defending really well.

Liverpool had quite bad luck to get Inter though. City have more luck with the draw even if they had a hard CL group this time.

Actually we have had some luck with cup draw, but Middlesbrough still knocked us out.

Thinking about a -8 James and Ramsey to Matiq and Kulusevski…

Will be hard to let them go but others on doubles and James injured, just not sure if it’s worth the points?

Assuming you mean Liverpool's Matip? As opposed to our Matic, or some new guy called Matiq?!

Is ESR bound to play during this DGW? Or should I replace him with Saka?
Whom should I play - Ramsey, Cash or Raphinha?

Should I put Ramsdale for the double (one against Pool) or Sa (single, but against Everton)

And Ings vs Pukki vs Jimenez vs Watkins for a 1 week punt

This is for my draft. No money involved.

Go Ramsdale with keepers you always go for the double.

2-3 save points is possible and 4 points for just playing. That gives 5-7 points even without clean sheets.

The risk is he concedes too many, but Arsenal are strong and can beat Liverpool at home.

The loss of Putin’s FPL side before he even uses his TC chip on a DGW is surely what will get him to concede.

It’s such a weird game. I have always been told by more seasoned players to avoid hits, and have watched videos with players agonizing over a -4 for the week.

My form, both in gameweek and overall, has never been better since I started going ultra aggressive with hits.

Maybe it’s just the strange season and DGW, but it’s working so far!

I think it’s particularly effective this year to make use of the doubles, but in the grand scheme of things, a -4 is not really much if you are confident of the player hauling or are avoiding waiting for weeks to get the player in.

As an example, I have the exact money to do Ramsey to Coutinho. I didn’t do it as I was focusing on GW 30 players. I should have just done a -4 before the double.
