Watkins is in good enough form to take a chance on him with a FT. Sell Haaland and bring him back in GW30.
Watching him annihilate Liverpool will be tough watching though

I'm about to swap Haaland to Watkins but Iheanacho been giving me a seductive wink... could he be a good differential or at least cover for Maddison, who I can't afford?
Haaland out to Watkins is interesting.
In effect 3 games for 1, but does Watkins do much to justify that? And can Haaland still onion bag v this Liverpool team next week? As well as losing maybe 0.4m.
There's plenty of dough flushing around this year though isn't there.
What's my play here - 9 players as it stands
Ward
Trippier, Botman, White, Tarko
Martinelli, Saka (c)
Toney, Kane.
Rashy, Haaland, Andreas, Mitoma , De Gea no games (Bueno injured).
Andreas might be a decent switch to Maddison. But can Maddison handle 3 games in 2 game weeks?
Haaland out for a -4?
Captain choice? Saka as it stands, but Toney or Kane might have just as good a shout.

I think it might be worth it yeah. Watkins has 2 decent fixtures and I can easily bring the cyborg back as money is not an issue. I know haaland will destroy Liverpool and it will be Salah-gate all over again
You used to tag me in these but now... you tag yourself instead?
I would get rid of Bueno. It gives you an extra player this week and also maybe if you get a Mee or Henry/Pinnok, you can have that same player double next week. I'm gonna captain Kane personally.
Depends if you have some money in the bank and I guess it's not an issue, but I'd probably prioritise getting rid of deadwood rather than Haaland first, especially for hits. You'll want him back soon enough and even if Watkins is probably better for 28+29 it's still two transfer you'll commit to selling and then buying Haaland, not sure if it's worth it. Perhaps keep him as a differential for 29 and just swap Andreas for Maddison/Almiron with decent 28 + double 29 or Bueno for flavour of the week Chilwell or perhaps Villa defender. Hits are not so painful this week, but still not great if you plan on reversing transfers.
I was looking at getting Almiron and Mings in.
Got Almiron in for Grealish and able to field 11 players (assuming Emerson is fit to play finally, the cnut). Then WC next DGW.
Had kinda been preparing for this BGW (took out Haaland last week already), knew I just needed to replace Grealish for another midfielder but my god the midfield landscape is dire this week. Went with Almiron because I just couldn't afford Son.

Isak looking sexier now that Wilson seems to be ruled out and completely out of match fitness. Martinelli played 120 minutes yesterday, I'm wondering if he keeps his place for the weekend. Same for Zinchenko. Arsenal is becoming more difficult to navigate ehhh
Andreas to Maddison sounds good.
I generally wouldn't pick a player who is hated to eternity by his own manager.
Ah damn, i lazily pasted the cast list from yours!I think it might be worth it yeah. Watkins has 2 decent fixtures and I can easily bring the cyborg back as money is not an issue. I know haaland will destroy Liverpool and it will be Salah-gate all over again

Forgetting to switch mine to yours!!
Maddy seems the obvious pick as he plays this week, then doubles and then plays Bournemouth... But Leicester are wank and Odegaard can probably outscore him within two games
Cheers.
With Maddison, it potentially saves you a transfer if he looks good and you want to keep him anyway in 29 and has a good game in 30 as well. However, he is travelling with England, already looking half fit and no idea if he will make it back in one piece.
Ode likely outscores him this GW as palace at home for arsenal is a better game than brentford away for leicester who are looking clueless. And I can think of doing Ode to Bruno in 29, or maybe just even keep him as Leeds at home can outscore a doubler but I feel my instinct would be to get a doubler. So it likely costs me an extra transfer.
Of course there's another thing that with arsenal you don't know who scores this GW. Maybe even a cheeky Trossard punt?

Ta chaps and @mobes
Will work on Andreas and Bueno outs for players this week who double next.
Ok I'm 0.3m short of Bueno & Andreas to Chilwell and Maddo, so have to pick one or the other.
Might be best to do Chilwell and Almiron then.

Just saw Watkins form, 6 goals in 7. Hadn't actually noticed that...
may change things.
Week 29 wildcard trying to set it for week 32 bench boost might be the play?
You mean 34? 32 is a blank.
Ah yes 32 FH sorry.
Just seen Ward is likely to be benched garhhh! Always on the reduced weeks this nonsense happens isn't it!
Can't decide between one of Martinelli, Odegaard and Maddison to bring in this week. 
Might have to do a -4, Bueno and Haaland to Chilwell and Watkins. That'd be a 10 man team with Ward probably out.
Have the wildcard to bring Haaland back I think.

Haaland out for Watkins and then Toney to back to Haaland later looks obvious.
not sure if I should sell Haaland for Toney or Andras for Almiron / Maddison / Buendia?
Got 3-4m in the bank so not a problem to buy back but things often change so 2-3 rounds from now it may not be as straight forward as it is now

Are there any obvious punts people would go for in a free hit? I heard Mudryk was good against Leicester and that would avoid the Havertz/Watkins conundrum.
I have Son in right now but he doesn’t really convince me. Trossard is a possibility too but he might not even start depending on Jesus/Martinelli.
I am going to plump for James too, can’t go too wrong for a week.
Anyone obvious I am missing that might be a differential?

Mings is my punt this week
Why would Ward suddenly get benched? Is he injured?
No, he's shit.
Yeah but that's not new news is it
I have Martinelli in my team but I'm dreading that he's going to be benched. He played the full 120min midweek and Trossard started on the bench. It's risky to transfer him in this week.Can't decide between one of Martinelli, Odegaard and Maddison to bring in this week.
Brenton realised it's a BGW so thought he'd ruck those of us rocking the De Gea ward combo up.
Agreed. The classic don't buy don't sell example.
My rival has this combo. And Saliba. Finally something goes my way after he was laughing about the March incident. Lovely stuff.
I had a fleeting thought of a wildcard to BB next week. But there's a few things that ward me off.
Arsenal home to Leeds is a great single.
You'd want City/United/Liverpool/Brighton coverage really, so have to choose only 4 for those teams, or go in <11 players this week.
Might wildcard next week.
But unless anyone can stop me.
Bueno & Haaland to Chilwell & Watkins for -4 seems the percentage play to field 10. (Unless Ward does end up playing)
If I could have afforded Bueno & Andreas to Chilwell & Maddison it might have worked, but 1) I can't, and 2) Maddo is just as likely to disappear off injured for weeks,
@Dirty Schwein @Moby @CassiusClaymore
Pushing the button on the bolded?
@Dirty Schwein
i am going to FH this week as i only have 1 sub and 9 players playing (including Saliba who is a doubt). Question is, if i use FH, i won't have 2 subs next week, correct? Only 1?
Reason for asking is i think i need to use this weeks free sub FIRST (in prep for the DGW's next) and then FH - meaning the player i bring in for the DGW will still be there once the FH has been played and my team reverts "back to normal" for the DGW? Otherwise i essentially "lose" a sub if i play my FH first. Not sure if this makes sense?
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.
3 games for Watkins vs 1 game for Haaland. It has to work outNeed 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.
Looks sensible to me.
Now Palace is gonna have the bounce and give us Arsenal blanks right?
Don't be scared in a week he doesn't play. Be scared the week after.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.
I've got the money to bring him straight back.
