1 game v 2 games innitEveryone wants to offload cancelo... One of the best and most consistent players this season
Can you make that a bit bigger mate I can't see it?
Had to change my WC team after Chelsea's double. Going wo Trent to enable some others, and BB'ing next gw.
Thoughts?
I benched Cancelo the last time we played them. 14 points.I think I’m going to bench DeBruyne, Dias and Cancelo
Seems crazy but banking on an United performance.
Yep that was a bleak day, City absolutely cruised a 2-0 and Cancelo monsters a haul.I benched Cancelo the last time we played them. 14 points.
I feel that pain.Do I do Cancelo to James for a - 4?
I'm benching Cancelo this game. I don't let previous games ever affect my decisions. Especially a game like that when we had a different manager who was on his way out.I benched Cancelo the last time we played them. 14 points.

So the question is which one has the biggest upside and sets me up better going into the last 10 GWs? Take your time.
SORRY IT'S THE PHONECan you make that a bit bigger mate I can't see it?
You reckon a FH this week then?You’d need to get more doubles in, if you have two FH’s you should be fine for the next two DGW’s.
I'm liking that as well. One less hit is a good point. Also taking a FH now allows me to assess certain things like how Chelsea look like or new Leeds look like etc and maybe I can still add more gw30 players if I want them long term and in case Newcastle turn out to be shit which is likely I don't have to be stuck with their shit. And I can keep Bowen who will still have high EO and you want him in case he hauls. So a lot of pros there.Not Plan A. Taking hits. Not maximising DGWs and then sparse BGW.
Plans B and C are both good. Jsut depends if you prefer the extra players in GW28 to GW30.
Plan B gives you 4 extra DGWs in GW28 but you have 3 less in BGW. So you are a player up there. But the one less DGW in GW29 (for plan B) makes the numbers exactly the same. With that said, you take one less hit on Plan B, which is worth remembering.
I'd say go plan B.
@Moby - agree with this. Plan A is a non starter.Not Plan A. Taking hits. Not maximising DGWs and then sparse BGW.

Yeah I like Plan B as well but @Moby you are setting yourself up for some potential pain with those benched dgw players. It's horrible because you can't really bench Salah or Kane either.Not Plan A. Taking hits. Not maximising DGWs and then sparse BGW.

Information is more important than most people realize.I'm liking that as well. One less hit is a good point.

With spurs West ham arsenal etc in gw30 you can bring in some long term guys in that GW. Or before as spurs and arse also double in 29.
Let's see. I will watch some pods to understand more about the post 30 scenario because either way my FTs have to be more long terms.
You mean I should just go with 11 dgw in 28 and ignore Salah and Kane? Maybe I can ignore Kane but don't wanna ignore Salah. At home he's a beast.Yeah I like Plan B as well but @Moby you are setting yourself up for some potential pain with those benched dgw players. It's horrible because you can't really bench Salah or Kane either.
You haven't got a wildcard left to jump into that BB either so don't know when you're going to use that.
Absolutely.Information is more important than most people realize.
If you have two why not, I free hitted on the last double and scored 132.You reckon a FH this week then?
You have the same chips as me and a similar team (I have more dross though).Ok lads, my turn.
Current squad, and have 1 WC, 2 FH and BB. What's the game plan? Feeling is there's probably only about 4 or 5 of this lot i'd keep.
De Gea Foster
Cancelo TAA Dalot El Nouri Digne
Son Saka Bowen Trossard Brownhill
Ronaldo Dennis Weigy
@Dirty Schwein @Sandikan @CassiusClaymore @BeforeKeanetherewasRobson @Cutch @Samid @Dan_F @everyoneelse
I'm not saying who you should pick but just don't be surprised if there's a few hauls on your bench this week. As long as you've made peace with it beforehandYou mean I should just go with 11 dgw in 28 and ignore Salah and Kane? Maybe I can ignore Kane but don't wanna ignore Salah. At home he's a beast.
As for BB I can build towards it in 36. The way FA cup is going we should be easily able to set up in 36. I am sure I will get more chances for it and that's why I don't wanna bring in dross for free transfers like Mee and Weghorst. Once these guys are gone i can pretty much BB any time during the last stretch.
It's a good strategy and i think @Sandikan your team is even better set for a FH this week. Should be a good week for you.You have the same chips as me and a similar team (I have more dross though).
Therefore it's hard for me to give thoughts here as I'm a bit unsure on my own team (the time I'd normally spend on this was used up on WW this week).
Here's my thoughts on my own strategy, maybe something will spark for you:
I think WC is one of the most important chips and I don't want to blow it so I'll stick with FH GW28. Load up on shitty players (and Salah of course) and not worry about these clowns beyond this GW. Go into it like this:
Sa
Digne, Rudiger, James, Saiss
Salah, Raphinha, Coutinho, Willock, Mount
Adams
10 DGW players. I'll lose 0.4 value though due to Keane dropping, Salah rising and Edouard that donkey dropping twice.
Then I'll make a WC team in GW 29 that will give me enough DGW29 players but also give me at least 7-8 player for GW30.
Then use the next FH on that mixed DGW/BGW that is likely in GW33 and BB in GW36.
Willy is a streaky player. His streak has just begun.Why is Willock in so many teams? Even in FFScout's bus team
Fraser got a better xGI (quite high the last 4) and plays more advanced. At 5.3 he seems to be value for money like Gray earlier in the season. Same output and xGI as some of the expensive midfielders and 2 x DGWs
Like that mate. Looks good.You have the same chips as me and a similar team (I have more dross though).

I did wonder this. He had his one off "Aaron Ramsay" run of incredible form last season, but is he even close to signs of that?Why is Willock in so many teams? Even in FFScout's bus team

Brownhill type of streaky playerWilly is a streaky player. His streak has just begun.
I'm just not a fan of JWP. His routes to returns are very limited. Willock could be shite but I don't mind a punt here or there. Might become Fraser. Adams vs. Broja is a coin toss.Like that mate. Looks good.
Think that's what I'll pretty much follow.
Just with maybe Ward P in there. Not sure Willock is back to anything like last season's form?
And a look at Broja v Adams.
Maybe I just go Fraser and beat the shit out of you and @Sandikan when Willock gets all the spoils.Brownhill type of streaky player
I'd say he's a counter attacking player, good against open teams. Even when that happens it'll be Fraser with a cutback pass. Get at me, karmagods.
Two Chelsea defenders seems optimal considering who they are playing. Forwards have been shit anyway so might not be the worst option to throw one or two on the bench.Ok, I've done a rough FH squad, and can afford this with 0.3m in the bank
Sa (Foster)
Rudiger, Digne-Saiss (Dalot Amartey)
Salah Couty Raph Havertz Willock
Kane Jimi Adams
So that's a big bench dilemma from the front 8, and ideally needs 1 more Chelsea defender, although Digne could be a good option still...
So what do we propose here?
Captain choice.... Couty or Havertz seem risky. Salah "safer", but doesn't maximise the double effect.
- Adams down to Broja, bench Broja, and then Digne goes to James or Silva
- Downgrade 1 of the mid, and play 3 up front? Potentially the downgrade can upgrade Digne to Chelsea
- Something else.
I'm thinking I might save them for the BGW in 30 and then the DGW in 33. Tough choice and really a flip of a coin type thingIf you have two why not, I free hitted on the last double and scored 132.
1G4A the entire season, no guarantee he will play both games. Very interested in adding him to the team, but no chance for being the captain.Alonso (c). Anyone?
You can never be to sure I guess, it’s hard at the top (I wouldn’t know though)..I'm thinking I might save them for the BGW in 30 and then the DGW in 33. Tough choice and really a flip of a coin type thing
We create many chances and city just lost their best CB...So if I go ahead with my -8 who do I bench here alongside Bowen and Weggy?
Foster (DDG)
Silva TAA Cancelo Cash Saiss
Salah Son Ramsey Saka (Bowen)
Watkins Dennis (Weggy)
Tempted to bench Dennis even with the double. We won't score against Citeh surely?
