BGW and DGW 20/21 Discussion thread

Muahahaha

So is it likely City have West Ham and Southampton in GW26?

Going by what Pep said last night its WH and Wolves

"Next one is Arsenal. Three days after, Champions League, three days later against West Ham, three days later we have Wolves, three/four days later we have United. Non-stop."

Guardiola on fixtures: "We have a busy schedule and incredible few months ahead; we have Wolves and Southampton in one week as well so everyone will be involved."

Darksoul

Roy Hodgson hinting at a #DGW26 of Fulham (h) and Man Utd (h) for Palace: "We're being threatened with a game in between Fulham and Tottenham against Manchester United, I don't know whether that's been ratified as yet, but it's been mooted as a possibility."

On Fantasy football scout on Twitter.

Muahahaha

That Hodgson quote ties in perfectly with what Ben Crelin predicts on his spreadsheet. I dont think Id want any Palace player right now regardless, double or not. Had Zaha earlier in the season but he blows hot and cold and was frustrating to own

Well that one wasn't very difficult to predict. Neither Palace nor United had any additional games to arrange elsewhere and United are in Europe and FA Cup so not really anywhere else it could hae gone.


It is the other uncertainties that cause problems.

I'm some ape, I was sure deadline this GW was today at 4.30pm....

It's 6.30pm!

Plenty of time so if / when DGW fixtures announce today to do my WC.

Was going to be caught up with work most of the afternoon so that ease's that a bit so.

Have a few drafts done out.

Defenders is one line now that is annoying me a bit, with Citay's rotation risk. Is Dias the only one "nailed" on to an extent?

What’s the rush in wildcarding this GW when the doubles are the next GW? The doubles this GW aren’t the most enticing either.

Can't bench boost or TC next week if you wildcard next week.

I'm planning on BB-ing in 26. Can't WC and BB in same GW.

Want to have a "solid" bench for 26 then downgrade it as the season grinds to a halt and a damp squid of a finish.

I'm chasing 100+ points in a ML and want to see can I make it up now rather than at the end of the season. And also I need to get in Bruno and get out my 3 Burnley defenders too... Oh and Justin also!

Yeah I've been stagnating in or around 350k for a few weeks now, feel like hitting the button now to try and give myself a boost.

Unless they announce the fixture in next few hours I won't wildcard. I can get to 13/14 doublers and bench boost through a -4 so I think in the grand scheme of things it's best to hold. Can wildcard with some Gameweeks to go and set for a big finish maybe.

Going by this tweet we should have the fixture announcement this afternoon.

Lads...I know it's not confirned but am I right in thinking that Villa are likely to have a few DGWs coming up ??

Torn between getting rid of Maddison or Grealish (for Raphinha) but have a feeling I'd only be getting Grealish back again fairly lively

How Soon Is Now

I got rid of Grealish for this week when I see the fixtures I'll see about getting him back. Maddison is playing well and getting points atm I didn't wanna drop him.

I was so close to hitting the wildcard last Saturday night, I can’t emphasise how stressed I would be now if I had done so and still no news.

If the news still comes at 4, I may still wildcard. Can’t believe they’ve been this late with it.

manual_man

Villa vs Spurs is pretty much certain to move to GW29, right? It's crucial in terms of whether I'll wildcard now AND be able to put out a semi-decent team for GW29

I am very tempted to make 2 subs (for -4) and save the wildcard.

Makes it a bit more interesting if its at 4, as a non wildcarder.

BB is a horrible chip

Its bloody farcical how late they're releasing this

Jim Gazebo

Do people think fixture scheduling circulates around FPL deadlines?!

I don't think that fpl players stressing out on a Friday afternoon is their top priority right now!

Why? There are no fans/trips to organise.

Likely 90 percent is sorted and clubs notified with 1 or 2 issues.

Tbf, it's still a week before, PL fixtures should be released far earlier than that

No, I think they should have released them way before today. I thought it would have been last Friday!!!

I was thinking of wildcard all week but I'm going to leave it now. It's just not enough time for planning and if fixtures do fall as anticipate,I can get a very good 11 at least for 26 with 4 transfers and a -8

Indeed. Nothing against Ben, it's just mad how much people rely on him.
