Here is the conundrum I had last season - having more than one player from one of the big four is deferentially rewarding.
Fantastic GWs tend to be fewer where all of the lads in a single team had great rewards, so I have decided to use the scattergun approach and pick the best bets from the top sides to score and assist aplenty.
Your thoughts
@coolredwine ?
That of course is true. The best bets always are the best and the second best players of the team. And their partnerships. A lot of people early last season benefitted from Costa-Hazard partnership. Before that Vardy-Mahrez.
But it also comes down to timing, predictions and then a bit of gamble after studying the trends. How quickly are you able to get a player in. How quickly are you willing to transfer out a player. Liverpool almost always is quick off the blocks. It makes sense to get in some of their attackers early. Spurs are a bit slow, so makes sense to wait for their players to get in their own.
For example, I had Defoe for majority of the last season, and at the right time, got in Kane and Alli (helped along with the fact that Mane was out for AFCon and then injured). A lot of people kept pursuing with Costa in the second half and suffered. Those who picked Alonso/Azpilicueta/Cahill early in the season greatly benefitted in terms of his value/price and so on.
A lot of players focus on the upcoming set of 5 games/month and prefer rotating. Some just focus on the starting XI and fill their squad with the cheapest players.
All said and done, I'm by no means a genius in this game. All of it is my opinion.
