Double Gameweek Planning

Hello, my name is Mr P and I have had an idea
Instead of using my bench boost this week like I had planned I should use my TC and use BB in DGW37. My reasons are fourfold:
1. I made a balls of the WC and can't trust my 15 to start.
2. I have options like Sanchez, Aguero, KDB
3. TC in DGW 37 has less options and I then can't talk myself into PVA TC.
4. I can legitimately transfer in Norwich and Sunderland players.
I haven't even thought about how feasible it is to get to 15 DGW by 37 but I've gone right off BB this week with doubts over Gabriel, Sakho, Delaney, Lennon, Rashford, Darlow. Not to mention more rotating of Coutinho and KDB.
I've f*cked up royally but I have a chance to save myself a bit here I think. After City and Liverpool have played in Europe and United in the FA cup things could be clearer or muddier.
But yeah I might not BB this week. It seems like I'd be compounding the mistakes I've already made if I do BV. Especially now that I've been given this rare moment of clarity.

I've been thinking about this for a few days also but just cant justify it.
Who would your benched players be?
Mine is probably Robles Mahrez Gabriel and now Sakho.
Only worry there is Gabriel and Sakho actually start both games and get decent points which along with a possible Mahrez 6-9 pointer would outweigh the TC in any case.0 -

Sakho, Darmian, Gabriel (?), Rashford and more importantly Coutinho, KDB & Aguero doubtful. Why Delaney though? It'll be hilarious to have more than half my WC team not guaranteed 2 games :pac: :rolleyes:...
Oh and of course now, not sure about you but I kinda have to play Bolasie :pac:... Ah ah it's become beyond hilarious.
I've been thinking about the TC also. But your only option is Sanchez really. Forget about City. KDB had ice packs on both his knees yesterday when he came out and Aguero should be managed.
Though, as lougal mentioned, we'll have a DGW GK on the bench and considering how this season's going, we're guaranteed to be left with DGWers on the bench (and be sure Gabriel will then score 2 goals with his 2 CS !) and SGWers on the pitch.
I think we're screwed and have no choice but play BB with either our current team or take an 8 to 16 pts hit to get in more "secure" players.
I think your best bet is to ignore both City & Liverpool. We have no idea who's gonna play as this GW showed us. Who do you plan out anyway? Bolasie? If you can afford Yaya, what about Mata?Any thoughts on what role Yaya may have for City in the DGW.
With Kdb minutes likely to be managed carefully and Sterling still out, could he get a run in and advanced role?
Fernando and Fenandinho are playing well and had stormers tonight. May well get rested to conserve energy for a semi where they will have to do a lot of chasing whoever they get.
As KDB alternatives go would Yaya be better than Nasri in theory?
Not sure KDB is worth the money and restructuring required given the gametime risk.0 -

I'm more leaning towards ignoring United attacking wise. The whole LVG shambles and rumours of player unrest are making me wary of going near them apart from Fosu Mensah if passed fit. Mata has zero form, although that didn't stop me bringing in Barkley!
Outbound I expect to get rid of the aforementioned Barkley unless something very unexpected happens tonight. Also more fools gold in Bolasie. I'm hoping to replace both with players with DGW34 and a game in 35. Spacecraft will be one. Nasri, Milner probably the other. Mata....hmmmm, dunno. Has crossed my mind and he has delivered for me before, but as i said zero form and United toxic. Lets see how they line up and perform tonight.
I'm up for at least a 4 point hit to get a United def, hopefully Fosu Mensah for Delaney. And may go -8 to gamble on a one week punt for Kane...Sturridge or Martial. Might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb.0 -

I think I'll join you and abandon using bb next week too. Would take a 16 point hit to give me a bench worth using and after looking at the fixtures there, I think I'd actually do better using it in GW36 when nearly all my players will have nice fixtures.0 -

I don't fully agree with this.I may yet go -12 and have a right bang at BB 34.
Busts is spot on re using the WC the week of the big DGW in future but I am where I am now.
DGW 33 was actually a major spanner in the works as it caused many of us to go for 3 Everton who are beyond shíte and now I want rid for 34.
If KDB & Coutinho had played 60+ min, chances are they'll have returned good pts. Their managers are not known for rotations. But they did this week.
Thought 'Pool were happy with their Sakho Lovren CBs partenership. Well couldn't anticipate that Klopp was gonna change his CBs every single game. No managers do that. I love Klopp but don't get his strategy here
.
Same with LVG. Darmian was back from injury and was dropped on the back of 2 clean-sheated solid performances. Maybe a little more predictable than Sakho but still doesn't make much sense to me.
Finally Rashford. A gamble. Admittedly. But he did start. Taken off inexplicably at HT to put A. Young upfront and to change the latter 15 min to the end. Young Rashford showed yesterday what he's capable of if you leave him on the pitch. LVG is a clown at United. Crazy since he's one of the best coach of the last 30 years.
So. With just an assist from KDB 61 min, a goal from Rashford or Coutinho and a 2 pt appearance from Sakho, I'd be 12-13 pts better (which would be far better in terms of rankings thanks to no lucky autosubs) and in very good shape for the BB34.
The only one to blame is Lukaku. 4 pts captain in a DGW. I actually don't remember such a popular fail.0 -
