I have a FH, BB and TC left. Here's my squad:
Sanchez
Gabriel, Kayode, Mukiele
Bruno, Palmer, Gordon, Rogers
Haaland, Thiago, Welbeck
Subs: Dubravka, Maguire, Gudmundsson, Mainoo
3.8m in the bank. 0 FTs.
If I do a FH in GW33, I could navigate GW34 with 11 starters by make a GK transfer. If City reach the FA Cup final, I could use my TC when Haaland has another double. Not sure when I would use my BB though.
Well that's complicated.
Not this week due to Maguire's suspension and not being able to move him out if you have 0 Fts. No point in playing it with 14 available players.
FH 33 like you said.
Not enough players to make 34 BB worth it as you're scratching around for 11 starters.
So it has to be some time between 35 and 38. Haaland very likely to have a double in 36 as they still have that Palace fixture to squeeze in and it's probably going to be then according to Ben Crellin and other people's guesses. Use TC then? That is my plan. If you agree leaves 35, 37 and 38. Not sure FA Cup finalists will be doubling as it could be played midweek still in 37 but let's wait and see.
37 looks alright with that current squad, and in general was thinking you might want to push it back until late anyway considering your circumstances.
Sanchez - TOT H
Dubravka - ARS A
Gabriel - BUR H
Kayode - CRY H
Mukiele - EVE A
Gudmundsson - BHA H
Maguire - NFO H
Bruno - NFO H
Palmer - TOT H
Gordon - WHU H
Rogers - LIV H
Mainoo - NFO H
Haaland - BOU A
Welbeck - LEE A
Thiago - CRY H
Lots of home games for players. Of those who are away, it doesn't matter where Haaland's game is, leaving only Dubravka, Mukiele and Welbeck. Leeds away for Welbeck and Everton away for Mukiele isn't awful, and you might have transferred one of them out by then anyway which brings us to Dubravka. He could be the 'keeper you transfer out in 34, finding someone who is playing in 34 and has much better GW37 fixture than Dubravka?
If you still have Dubravka by 37 and chose to transfer out Sanchez instead in 34 then I wouldn't want to BB with him away at Arsenal. In that case using BB with Dubravka at home to Wolves in 38 is probably his best chance of a clean sheet for him personally. Thinking 37 might be better for you though as some of these fixtures arte not great for quite a few of your players.
GW 38
Raya - CRY A (just an example, you can afford him but could be anyone)
Dubravka - WOL H
Gabriel - CRY A
Kayode - LIV A
Mukiele - CHE H
Gudmundsson - WHU A
Maguire - BHA A
Bruno - BHA A
Palmer - SUN A
Gordon - FUL A
Rogers - MCI A
Mainoo - BHA A
Haaland - AVL A
Welbeck - MUN H
Thiago - LIV A
You have a lot more players away that week and/or facing teams towards the top of the table. Obviously there's transfers that can be made to change things before then but I currently like 37 for you and either way pushing it right back to one of the final 2 weeks is what I think I'd do in your shoes.
Suppose 35 could be a thing, but I don't know, I'd have thought that if City do end up doubling in 36 vs Palace as largely expected then transfers around GW 35 and 36 might be better focused on trying to bring in additional players from them to give you more players with 2 matches that week and leaving BB right until near the very end.
