    I am going to focus on the positives in this
    Pedro could be UNREAL value now
    I'll go without hazard I think

    Now to decide whether to raise the .2 to get Kane
    Or just get lukaku in earlier than planned
    Think I'll go Kane

    Ye the Walcott and Costa news has me convinced to go giroud and Pedro in a strong front 8.

    I had already done that but costa was in it !
    May just get Kane
    Or
    Lukaku
    Can't decide now
    Giroud and lukaku would be awkward prices to replace though if I had both
    And then there is the magnificent elephant in the room
    Aguero !
    But that involves a big restructure

    If I go Kane at least it makes the trade up easier

    Doesn't have to be put having "28 players" is a bonus! The issue is the point rs lost until then.

    Have about 4 or 5 I want rid of, Costa news has annoyed me!

    No point in taking the game serious if you don't include players from certain teams.

    I'm not playing anyone from Hull , not because I don't like them, because they are shoite.

    Costa dropping like a lead balloon !
    Be funny if he dropped tonight after bearing a rise 3 hours ago
    He could even drop .4 by the time they play hull

    Well f*ck!

    The sensible thing to do would be to play the wildcard now....

    But I don't want to. But I'm sensible now. But the key part of my plan involves going full scale Mr. P in the last 2/3 months which requires the WC. But I now don't have a defence or an attack.

    Probably not sensible to use a WC having placed 0 minutes of thought to the things in over a week, right? So its actually sensible to not play the WC....

    At the speed he's dropping I'd be stunned if he doesn't.

    Best case scenario for wildcarders who want him:
    He drops tonight and it turns out to be all hot air in the morning :)

    If your team is in big trouble then the sensible thing is probably to play it.

    Plus you can bring in PVA for his 15 pointer tomorrow ;)

    I definitely won't play it this week, I can probably cobble together a team with -4. It's just one extra thing I didn't need to worry about.

    But mainly that I'm reliant on Amat and that's never a great position to be in :pac:

    If things like Costa are happening then it's prudent to wait until the window closes at least.

    PVA is tempting though.

    You can still do that but will need a lot of planning which proved difficult for many last year as it "limited" FPLers to DGW players in their transfers in the run up to it.

    Some/many? early WCers will still be holding BB for the DGWs.

    I think the BB can be used in a SGW.

    WC on a Friday night just seems wrong to me.

    I agree
    League leader made 3 transfers last week
    Guy behind me also took a hit
    I hope they panic and hit the WC button

    I'm annoyed that after 2 weeks of planning this hit the fan so late BUT I'm still in a better position than them
    But no hazard makes me sad

    Lads this is going to be like FPL XFactor.

    Wildcard or not to wildcard...you decide...

    Foster - Pickford
    Alonso - Bellerin - Amat - Jones - Pieter
    Alli - Hazard - Philips - Lallana - Fletcher
    Origi - Costa - Ibra

    Pickford out, Bellerin out, Amat out, Fletcher is filler, Origi not locked in, Costa seemingly dropped, Alonso injury worry, Pieter awful fixtures

    You really need to, but never good to be driven to that conclusion the night before the GW starts.

    Can you upgrade Fletcher to Stanislas or Fraser perhaps.
    What's itb and any FTs?
