Yes, absolutely. I suspect kdb for Salah will be the move for many. I wouldn't be surprised to see Haaland disappear from a few teams too, to help fund that.

Yeah I had been thinking Jota to Salah but now I'm thinking KDB to Salah and Jota to Richarlison. Keeps rest of team strong.

Plus City triple up is shite when you get a game like yesterday.

A big reason for owning premiums is for captaincy, that's where the value is. Will you ever Captain KDB when Haaland is in the same match? Unlikely.

No. In fact I'd be tempted to captain Foden before KDB.

You can have one of Kev or Son along with Mo and Erling. Kev to Son will be popular for those who have him now for the double.

I want Mo, Haaland and Richarlison I think. Front 8 probably something like.

Mo Foden Richarlison Gordon Palmer
Haaland Watkins Solanke

But Saka and Garnacho other options in midfield there too. All of which provides decent funds still for defence.

Son doesn't really interest me at the min with his price and being back on wing likely.

Don't think I agree. Salah has upcoming: blank, Forrest, City and blank. That's one good fixture in 4 game weeks... I'm bringing him in my GW30 WC.

Yeah I agree with you. Definitely on the wildcard 30/31 plan. I don't see how you can get the players you want before and a decent team out in 28/29 without using FH. Seems it's all about the fear of that one fixture against Forest and assuming he's fit I'll have Darwin for that anyway.

Dead end into 29/30 and set yourself up after with the wildcard for the run in. Double arsenal defence + Saka, Salah, Haaland and build around that keeping some cheapos on the bench with an extra game to play ready for bb.

I'm on the same plan but the biggest issue is there's no BB window after the WC till 6 GWs which is massively sub optimal. Means you have a playing bench without even knowing if those guys will play in 37 or not. On the other hand Luton and Bournemouth have the perfect bench fodder to use it on AND the fixtures for Bournemouth are great unlike the usual fodder for BB like we had last season when we had to play Henry and what not.

I'll be a huge Leeds, Southampton and Forest fan for the next couple of weeks. :)

At the minute I have only Charlie Taylor with a fixture in GW 29 and not even sure if he'll be starting

:lol: But that's great as that means you haven't made transfers based on 29 over better players who are getting points now. FH29 is a perfectly good strat if that GW stays as dire as it is now.

It depends on the transfers though doesn't it? I'm making transfers with an eye firmly on avoiding FH on GW29 but I have all the big hitters bar Salah and my biggest gamble will be removing Haaland for one gameweek (against Liverpool) and I'm ok with that as the best captain that week is Solanke anyway.

So you're gonna bench boost in 28 instead if we get a few more solid fixtures in 29? Could work I guess. As a wise man once said "let's see".

It's not the big hitters which isn't where you make any gains because everyone has them but the 5th mid or 2nd and 3rd def for example. Like this GW I have 10 players and a FT so I can pick Bowen because he plays in 29 but WHU haven't scored from open play in 4 fecking games meanwhile you have players who are in teams that are scoring goals like Villa ManUtd or Wolves or Bou who have smashing fixtures and a double. So that's a huge swing there if you focus on 29 and leave the points on the table before that. Same reason I got an arsenal defender for Trent over Brentford.

That's a great quote Cass. Yes that has to be a part of that plan to get the BB out of the way with Luton and Bournemouth players while having a solid first team that allows you to possibly manage either 29 or 34 with transfers and manage the other with a FH. I'll be happier with a 31WC if it's a 34 BB as I'd rather FH in 37 as you have no idea which team will be playing what players then. All this will be clear before 27 more or less.

Don't know why people still try to go for Brighton players. It's infuriating to guess who starts literally Every. Fecking. Week! That mad fecker even rotates his goal keepers. It's worse than the Pep roulette.

Best for your sanity to forget that team exists or just wait for leaks before getting any of their players in.

That's literally exactly, word for word, what I did after binning their players after the first WC one last time. Made this game 10000000x better.

I started the season with triple Brighton in Pedro, Mitoma and Estupidman. It was exactly how I felt and was such a liberating feeling when I got rid of all of them. :lol:

Ugh, Estupinan on the bench. Bloody Italian fraud. If only I had space to eject him ASAP.

Still tempted to get Gabriel but I am have too much money in defence.

That useless c*** is the worst signing I've made all season. I somehow convinced myself it was a good idea to buy him again after he came back, despite having ditched him as quickly as possible at the start of the season. A 5.0m waste of space and budget. feck off Estupiñan.

Yeah after his injury I KEPT having issues in my team so was unable to remove this gutter trash and then he returned so I left him in my squad. Safe to say when I WC, he will be the first person I will boot into the nether realm.

Pretty much. There's Gross who doesn't get rotated out of the team but gets rotated into random positions instead. That's it.
