But it's Watkins. He's had his purple patch and I think he will go missing now.3 games for Watkins vs 1 game for Haaland. It has to work out

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Who do you have for him in your team? None of Watkins, Havertz, Isak instill any confidence.
That's essentially what I did but instead of Bueno it was Estupinian.
If you FH, next week you will start back with 1 free transfer. I think you might as well take couple of hits and get 11 on rather than play FH to be honest.
There's little down side and with money not an issue, you can easily get Haaland back.Need some advice. Is it worth it to do a -4 this week to get a full 11 out? Basically doing the popular transfer of Haaland to Watkins or Havertz. But I'm scared to transfer out Haaland.
It took this much time for that ballsack of a human being who manages him to realize that.Yeah but that's not new news is it
Yeah it is tricky which arsenal player to pick so maybe just take the easier route of Maddison, but his price will block me from getting all of Shaw, Bruno and Haaland in the team in 29 and whereas arsenal mids are cheaper.
Yeah looks alright.
I'm locked in. Disaster of a team and expecting feck all progress but here we are

WC team with 10 players with fixtures this GW and players in bold have a DGW in 29 (intend to BB).
I have £1.1m in the bank - any suggestions considering this GW or the DGW?
Subs: Navas, Rashford, Shaw, Mitoma
Only change I'm considering is taking out either White or Martinelli but I'm not sure who for to be honest. May just leave them and take one of them out for a DGW fixture after the international break.

Depends if you're chasing doubles. I always am and I played my WC two GWs ago and without taking hits, am able to field 11 players this week and 13 DGW players next week (with one hit)...
Don't think I'd be lining up with 10 on a WC.
I am on 10 players this week and tempted to take a -4 hit to get kane in for haaland. Any thoughts?
Thanks bud. Yeah, it all depends on news re Saliba i guess.
Also, if i make my 1 free sub this week before i FH (example: i bring in a chelsea defender for a City one), and then play my FH, when my team reverts back to "normal" next week...i'll have 1 transfer but it'll be the chelsea defender in and not the City defender, correct? More of a "technical query" I guess, because i know when i FH this week, my 1 free sub doesn't carry over into 2 next week. I will still only have 1.
10 in 28 and 14 dgw in 29 for me with no hits
Took a -4 to bring in Maddison for Salah and Kane to Haaland and can field 10 players.
Next week will go Kane to Haaland or Toney to Haaland (depending on his yellow card situation and I have cash in bank) - will be able to field 13 doublers and go BB
Raya
Henry Trippier Chilwell Cash
March(blank) Saka Maddison
Kane(C) Toney Watkins

Then I would do, my team is basically a slightly crapper version, with no keeper, and Tarko instead of Henry!!
Is Trippier still worth holding on in coming weeks? I don't see Newcastle games, so I don't know how he is doing. His points seem to be coming down.
I'm using the FH today

Saving the Wild Card for later, maybe 32

Way too punty in places but I guess it’s worth the gamble after last week. Probably won’t fall too far behind with most seemingly having arsenal and those three strikers.

Going James on free hit. This will be a disaster if he comes on for a point, but I have to go for him with his ceiling.
I expect Chelsea to concede, but can see attacking returns from James and Chilwell.

Almiron is out for 3 weeks.
Well shit, this just came out and apparently indeed injured in the training - this is why I hate to do early transfers
I didn't have Kane so that was easy for me. I have Kane, Watkins and Toney up front. Watkins has scored in all of his last 6 games bar one so he should fill you with confidence.
Oh this is awesome. Rival has him as well. He'll be wildcarding I reckon.
FPL Raptor just started off his Deadline stream with news that Almiron will be out for 3 weeks for Newcastle.

I'm switching him out of my FH for Norgaard who seems to be more in-form than the Leicester players Maddison and Barns. I'm going to shift from the template because it seems like a relatively decent gamble.
Granted I still have Maddison in my midfield with now Norgaard, Son, and Saka

Welp. I already had Kane in my team for sometime. So I'm all aboard the Watkins train. Watch him blank now.I didn't have Kane so that was easy for me. I have Kane, Watkins and Toney up front. Watkins has scored in all of his last 6 games bar one so he should fill you with confidence.
I feel like this is when his purple patch comes to an end.
Of blanking in the next 5 games?so he should fill you with confidence.
That is a good move.
Once you play FH, it overrides everything. Your team will go back to the team it was LAST GW.
Stop showing off you jobber.
Tarkowsky has Ariel threat. I bet your higher OR than me too.
Prepare for pain.
Followed you lot on Haaland to Watkins. Also earlier brought in Maddison and Chilwell for Shaw/Bruno for a -8 to get 11 out.
Got 86 pts last week and falling behind now. I'm 40 pts down in my work league after leading it all season after a bad few weeks.

I don't want to chase the doubles too hard as there are some good single week fixture.
That's a fair point.
Will get rid of Shaw as I'd rather keep Mitoma, Haaland and Rashford to blank and bring in someone that plays this GW and has a DGW to make a full 11. The question is who though...
Kepa
Henry Gabriel Trippier Chilwell Botman
Saka Martinelli
Toney (c) Kane Watkins

Schucks, thanks bud! appreciate it
I help a pal at work and her husband out with moves...
Damn, put Almiron in his! That's some bloody late news, not just him caught out, but about 500,000 people!!!
Have asked her to put Harrison in instead.
4 points, but 2 for playing and has scored 17 over the last 3 games.

What we thinking on WC? Is there really any need to save it past this week at this point? Likely 2 games off in week 32 but other than that nothing major upcoming. Could play the WC this weekend and then set up the team perfectly for the DGW the following fixtures to use with bench boost.
Raya
Botman, Trippier, Cash, Chilwell, Henry
Maddison, Martinelli, Saka
Toney, Kane

Tweak on my WC to have a full 11 this week and 11 players with a DGW in 29.
Single GW players in 29:
Martinelli and Saka vs Leeds at home
Kane vs Everton away (great record against them)
Haaland vs Liverpool at home. A bad fixture but I will lose a lot of value if I switch him to Watkins and will probably want him back in 30. Or gamble on be brave and gamble on Solanke??
Suppose at this stage of the season, I need not worry about losing some value...
Let's put it this way, I took Haaland out and I currently have 8.3m in the bank now!
Value isn't that important as we enter the run in. Not in a season with so many low price options.
Had a pretty shit team after that double gameweek with 3 Brighton players, 2 Liverpool players and 2 United players so could field like 5 players that actually plays today, which means I had to do -12 minus points to get Koulibaly, Maddison, Martinelli and Kane in. Only player in the team that won't get points this week is Rashford. Hoping I won't get regret not getting Watkins in for Mbeumo as that would've given me an additional -4 as I already had Mbeumo in the team from before.
Raya
Trippier Zinchenko Koulibaly
Maddison Rashford Saka Martinelli
Toney Mbeumo Kane

Thats's true, I'm giving Haaland the boot. Watkins is the safer choice but I'm tempted to go for Solanke. Is that crazy?!
Yes hahaha
Saint-Maximin or Bruno G.?
I am on a WC and just found out Almiron is injured. I had him on the team and I would like to stay on Newcastle MID for those two GWs.

It's not really that much worse than going for an utterly shit player like Watkins, just that the latter has scored more recently. Chelsea striker looks more like the money move to me, 4 home games in next 5 including dogshit defenses like Everton Liverpool etc. Just better quality players.
Thank you

Probably take Zinchenko out for a free transfer for someone with a DGW next week.
