KDB is always a great option when he plays but if you have him, don't get upset if he misses game time and that's the mentality you need to have. For me, personally, I don't want to pay premium for a player that's not guaranteed 90 minutes every week and a player that I'll never captain.

Sold him on Sunday before he dropped in price, don't feel that confident about that now. Guess he's a hold now, but I would be very surprised if Foden and Alvarez aren't back in the starting 11 against us and KDB only gets limited minutes.

The combination of him and Haaland looked unplayable yesterday when Luton left some space behind for them to exploit.
I guess we play a low block against them or risk getting ripped a new one. At least we don't have Krul in goal.
I had decided to sell due to his limited minutes but was waiting for any injury news from these cup games, now I have no idea - bloody Pep !

Long term you cant have a premium player who doesnt play every game, but when you already have him then it's more difficult decision

Bit weird to give him a cameo in the league but then 90 in the Cup against Luton. Not sure I understand the thought process behind that. Don't know what I'd think for the weekend if I owned him.

Their left backs are fit so Gomez could well play rb.
I have some pointless and expensive defenders: Gabriel Trippier Walker Udogie Estu

Walker keeps getting rotated, while Tripper and Estu have not been getting high returns.

Needs to switch one out this week for sure.

Yeah same. Far too much money in my defence and I can't wait to gut it...(Gabriel, Trippier, Doughty, Porro, Estu). Only Gabriel from that lot will survive my wildcard I think. The Areola/Dubravka combo can get in the bin as well.

I anything that's a good defense.

Getting rid of Estu myself, too bad he's not nailed and that makes him a sell.
Trippier has 4 attacking returns his last 5 games, has 5 decent fixtures and a blank the next 6 and is still the highest scoring defender in the game. He is more likely to be a great differential for you than anything else.
Udogie is coming back from injury and good fixtures the next 6 (and playing in 29)
Wish I had Gabriel
I can't help you with Walker though. Not the best fixtures and is suddenly being rotated again. Will probably start this weekend and I'd play him this weekend if I had him.

So who do I bring in for Estu this week?

Has to be a player who has a game in 29.
I feel all the AV assets are risky now.
Is Coufal or Emerson really options?
I already own Doughty and Reguilon and don't want to double on any of those defenses, and already have triple Spurs (Porro, Son and Rich).

A lot will depend on tonights matches of course, but lets assume we don't get any upsets (Wolves beat Brighton, we beat NFO and Chelsea + Liverpool both beat their Championship oppos at home)
You've got limited options in that scenario. I'd personally go for a Villa defender like Moreno over a West Ham defender. Hopefully Brighton beat Wolves and you can go for a Bournemouth defender.

Does anyone think they'll be able to navigate 29 without the free hit?

Bearing in mind Man City are definitely without a game, and probably, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and hopefully United too?

If Bournemouth get a gw29 game, then Senesi is a great shout imo

not happening at the moment though, as Wolves lead against Brighton

Senesi is also two yellows from a ban, and he been getting booked a lot recently, something to bare in mind.

Also Brighton are the biggest FPL troll team and utterly a useless bunch of twats. The lot of them.

No upsets. That means Luton and NFO also has a game in 29.
Don’t think I’ll go there for more (have Kaminski and Doughty) so I guess it’s between Moreno, Cash, Coufal and Emerson.
Good thing though is I’ll have 11 to Play in 29

Hwang to Luiz then?
I might go for Richarlison. Gonna be a -4 every week now until 29 I think. I'm not free hitting that shit.

Solanke & Rich this week
Barkley & ? Sensei ? for 28
Son and Toney in 29

Leaves me with Areola, Doughty, Porro, Bowen, Son, Rich, Barkley, Watkins and Toney in 29.

So GW29 is

Spurs-Fulham
Burnley-Brentford
West Ham-Villa
Luton-Forest

Is that right?
Yup!

Robinson from Fulham might actually be alright as well

I currently have 2 players for GMW 29. Even with a transfer next week and the week after the best I could do is 4 players, I'm not taking hits. Definitely has to be FH in 29 now. Save TC for 37 or another DGW. Wildcard feck knows, somewhere towards the end of the season possibly? Same for Bench boost. With TC still remaining it makes little sense for me to play the FH anywhere other than 29.

I've got 1 player from those.

But I'm still hoping to avoid using the free hit.
I have 4 now and possibly 5 this week if I get in Rich or Bowen or Luiz for Hwang. Although I dont wanna FH, seems like a bit of a high risk to try to get triple Spurs triple Villa by taking hits. I will be forced to do a GW30 WC.
