GW27 Matchday Thread

Flaneur OBrien

I had an utter beastly week last week, finishing with 39 points after using my wildcard. Here's hoping GW27 is slightly better...

I made a mistake in my WC, selling Sa.

The captain choice this week is the toughest of the season thanks to EBH losing a bit of form, and having a single GW.

I have no confidence that Kane will return today. In fact, I think they may lose to Forest to get rid of Conte, who they don't appear to have anytime for and would be cheap to get rid of.

I may have made a mistake having Trippier instead of Zinc, but Fulham are more likely to score than Wolves ATM.

Best of luck all, may you all score well.

Am I mad chancing Martinelli instead of Saka? Up to 22k which is my highest ever and feel the urge to take a chance or two to push on further. Could go the other way too of course!

Very brave move. I hate 12.30 captains. It would be a good differential if it works out though

Crap. Last minute tinkering, but I'm subbing Kane for Martinelli.

Spurs are awful, and Martinelli (6.5) is in better form than Kane (3.8). Still unsure about benching Zinc for Trippier though.

shmeee

BB active - get it out of the way. Looked at FPL.team for GW29 and bench is similar. At least now it looks like my bench is fit and should hopefully all start. Come GW29 - you don't know. And at least now I can start downgrading my bench also. Cap on Mac10.

Good luck all!

Ballsy transfer that

macraignil

Pope

Trippier, Estupina, Alexander-Arnold

Jensen, Saka, Rashford(c), Gakpo

Mbeumo, Kane, Haaland

Leno, Odegaard, Zinchenko, Kilman

Feels like a risk having only the one Brighton player with their attack going so well and no captain Toney also a possible rank killer. Taking a punt on Rashford as captain with lots of other teams seeming to have better double game week options but out of who I have available I think he is the best bet.

Good luck!

No transfers made this week, hope the bench doesn't hurt me this week

Another -4 here essentially to get rid of Felix

Alison

Henry | Dunk | Botman

Salah | Mitoma (C) | Odegaard| Saka

Toney | Haaland | Kane

Subs: Ward | Andreas | Tark | Bueno

Possibly the worst bench I've ever had in FPL 😂

Mitoma blanking would be a killer obvs

crushproof

Triple captain gamble on Mitoma.

Newbie20

The common theme here is we are all taking risks of some sort and nobody is captaining Haaland which makes it a very exciting week.

COH

Raya

Estupinan - Trippier - Henry

Mitoma - Rashford - Martinelli - Saka

Toney (c) - Haaland - Kane

(Ward - Madisson - Shaw Zinchenko)

Bench could score 40 points! 2FT for next week to field 11 all things goinf to plan which it never does

Awful defending. A tap in from a ball across the 6 yard box.

Liverpool started well but Bournemouth have got into the game the last 5/10 mins.

patmac

On Wildcard so just need a few things to go my way. Shaw, Robbo (good start) to concede and Haaland to blank, not much to ask.

Raya

Estupinan - Trippier - Pinnock

Mitoma - Rashford - Martinelli - Saka-Salah

Toney (c) - Kane

(Kepa- Chillwell-Watkins-Castagne)

nicely set up for the next few weeks, no Haaland though.

Penalty from Salah a mile wide..... Wow

2 points from 2 Liverpool players. Only 3 DGWers. This is going to be a horrible week for me.

I thought your reverse hex had worked when the penalty was given. Looks like the early kick off curse is stronger.

Was so close to captaining Salah, phew.

Selling Haaland is worrying me now. Should have sold Nunez instead, especially with no game next week.

And with Liverpool assets flopping earlier, hopefully can swing back on the point lost to them last week.

Gwan Kane !!

37% ownership seems surprisingly low for the 2nd top points scorer this season

Newbie20

As a MacAllister captainer, Mitoma and Kane owner and seller of Salah this week, this is going very well so far!
