    I'm doubling up on Chelsea. I was against it originally but makes sense for a few weeks. Will get rid of one of them for Kompany ahead of GW31.

    Hull have just beat Brighton, suppose this means one game less now for GW29, kinda glad I held off on bringing in Nolan.

    73% increase today so far on Total. They are going to feel so sick after this.

    Most of them wont cop it till the day before Gw 29

    So what are the chances that the Everton vs Newcastle/Palace game and Sunderland vs Liverpool/West Brom game will also be rescheduled for GW31? Seems to be the week of choice now.

    100% sunderland will have a game and chances of everton playing are extremely high aswell.

    Was just gonna say the only thing I can pick out for GW 29 is to double up on Chelsea defenders for a few weeks. I have a bit of a conundrum up-front as I have SAS & Giroud. I want to get Ade in but don't see the point in using this transfer as Giroud could do well at Stoke. I don't want to get rid if SAS at all.

    With Hull not playing I will take this chance to get rid of Bruce for Ollsen. So 3 transfers between now & GW 29 should be

    Bruce ---->>> Ollsen

    Williamson ---->> Azcil

    Giroud
    > RVP / Rooney (whom I will be switching for Aguero)

    That leaves me with 8 which I am happy to go with as I know my direct opponents cannot do any better without taking hits. I don't plan on a hit til DGW's. Thoughts?

    Planning goes out the window when fixtures are being rearranged like this.

    If there are a whole bunch of doubles in 31, I'm quite happy to go for eight players in 29 as well -- it should mean I have plenty for the DGW.

    Have the same frontline as you and thinking along the same lines. Giroud to RVP for GW29 and captain him, then keep him for 30 and then switch to Aguero in 31.

    thing is I don't think I can afford RVP so will have to go with Rooney unless I figure something else out!

    I'm set up fairly well for GW29:

    Speroni
    Ward, Azpilicueta, Evans, Olsson
    Mata, Hazard, Lallana, B.Johnson
    Adebayor

    Tonights result was perfect for me as it gives my other keeper (Adrian) a DGW.

    Could do with Evans getting back from injury and into the team. I have 2 FT, and will likely be moving Yaya out anyway. Suarez to RVP for a few weeks is tempting, but I would lose 1.2m in transferring Suarez out.

    I can only afford him by downgrading Silva who I have to get rid of anyway. Would ideally like to keep RVP for GW31 depending on the Aguero situation but that would leave me not being able to afford Yaya and a City defender and they'll be must haves.

    +1

    Delighted with that.

    I'm looking at taking a strategic hit this week which would see me with 11 for next week and 10 for GW29. Hit would be as Yoshida will lose his place so I'll bring in Olsson who if he only gets 4 pts over 28 & 29 will effectively be another FT and with Norwich having good fixtures defensively and being very hard to score against will be hoping for more and keeping him for at least 4 or 5 weeks.

    Anyone struggling for numbers the next 2 weeks this is win win option imo unless I'm missing something.

    I'll also have at least 3 and probably 5 with a DGW in 31 and 3 FTs to stock up.

    Am I getting the hang of this $hit?

    I currently have 8 for gw 29 with 3 transfers will probably only make 2 transfers and go with 10 giving me an extra transfer to get in dgw players.
    Looking at
    Boruc
    Azpil ward ollson
    hazard lallana ince mata
    rooney or rvp ade

    I really haven't thought about GW29 yet, or well should I say haven't decided what players to bring in. As it stands I'd currently field 5 and maybe 7 if Bennett and Gabbidon played. So say 6. I'll have 3 transfers and I'm not opposed to a -4.

    Currently I have
    McGregor - Mannone
    Cahill - Bennett - Tomkins - Danny G - Kos
    Mata - Lallana - Hazard - Mirallas - Delph
    RVP -Dzeko - Suarez

    I'll probably go without a keeper, I've had Mignolet long enough so I'm used to it :pac:

    After that I need a replacement for Dzeko this week and I'll see where Bennett stands, have 2 FTs. I have a hankering for the now in vogue Snodgrass but defenders are a priority.

    I'm also keen to try a crazy gamble on Mitroglou for a week or 2 but he needs to start before I can dare to bring him in. Losing Tomkins and McGregor is frustrating but I expected it once it went to the replay.

    Really all I'm going to do is wait and see what plays out during the week and see where we're at on Friday. I can't even afford Ade back for Dzeko without rejigging the finances so I'll probably be living in fear this weekend but would hope to see Chelsea then shackle him come GW29.

    The only thing I'd say about taking a point hit for that week is make sure that you can justify the hit for the long term - using it to get rid of players who generally don't play anyway, making room for funds for a future transfer or just wanting to get that player in because their fixtures look tasty.

    Thus if they score 2 or thereabouts, you won't feel too bad getting in a player in for someone who has a DGW in the near future that you'll be tempted to take another points hit on.

    looking at GW29, there's not really one fixture that stands out for me in terms of taking a points hit to get player(s) in!

    10 and 9 for me for GW 28 & 29... have two FT's this week but only plan on playing 1.
    I'll be bringing in someone like Adam or Ince.... Stoke and CP are looking the best for me.

    I may use another FT to get me to 11 players for GW 29 but my preference at the moment would be to carry 2 into GW 30 and that'll leave me at least 3 FT's before the GW 31... That'll be as chaotic as it gets.... hopefully

    I'm actually getting a buzz from banking transfers now, a big big turn around for me, what stage do they say that is in the clinic?
    No hairy hands just yet.

    Pity if all the DGWs are GW31, won't be as advantageous for us keeping a close eye on it as less time to stock up.

    It gets worse - Chelsea/Utd/Spurs have an European games midweek.
    I am not so worried what team will play when, but who is going to be rested at some point. Or injured.

    So is GW31 looking like the best time to play a wildcard for those that still have one (and desperately need to make up ground!)?

    If you can stock up DGW players before GW31 with 1 or 2 4 pts hit(s) I'd say it may even be better to play your WC afterwards to get back to a "normal" team.

    It mainly depends on how much money you have tied on key players (that you could sell when they have blanks but would like back afterwards).
    It also depend son when the next DGWs are rescheduled. For the moment we only know 3 games out of 9 games to be rescheduled...

    Thoughts on Smalling on GW29/30/31?

    Need to up the player count for the reduced and double GWs of 29 and 31, with preferably a defender who plays in both to replace Williamson. On inspection thats unfortunately a M Utd player.

    Did think about Evra, but that may leave me short on getting back in Yaya, and bringing in Nolan for the DGW,

    I don't think I could go near him after watching him against Olympiacos...he was probably United's worst player and that's saying something. It's unfortunate that it's only United defenders that fit the bill. Had been strongly thinking about getting Evra in but am having second thoughts.
