GW28 Transfers

Only have 6 players. Still in fantasy cup. Should I qualify, would anyone recommend wildcarding to get to eleven?

Very much short term gain. If you are in a monthly prize league or somehow think the 11 that you get for the next week are long termers then go for it. Personally i would be going for a week punt or changing someone like ibra that could have a ban incoming. Wildcard to shape your team for the run in with dgw in mind

When will you know your opponent? I've never concentrated on the cup because I never had a run in it. Does it go to the end of the season meaning you'll have 10 H2Hs to go when chips will be in play almost every week?

Get the "essentials" Siggy Lukaku, (I'm been stubborn with Lukaku atm but he's one of the main captain choices) Liverpool mid and Coleman. If you have them I'd not go beyond a -4. Good Luck

Not for me. I've never had any success trying to make gains like that from a BGW.

You're going all in, taking a big hit and using your WC to have maybe 3 or 4 more players than average. Not to mention the fact that all your eggs are in a couple of baskets.

Far more advantage from the WC around the DGWs where you can use it to have 3 or 4 more players x2.

If your needing to WC to fix your team do that, but not after a -12. Patience would be my advice. 250k far from terrible at this stage. A run to the top 10k or above is well in your grasp.

You're probably right - combination of stagnant season and whopper hangover does bad things to a mans mind. Logging out of fpl until the mist of stupidity passes

Wouldn't know opponent until two days before that gw starts AFAIK. My 6 are fairly frail only really firmino I'd be happy with no lukaku siggy or Coleman. So I'm thinking 4 sub's shaped towards dgws and my team heavily featuring both Liverpool and Everton.
There's still gonna be 2k players left after this gw in cup. Looks very likely I'll go through unless Costa (my opponents skipper) goes bananas. So not overly concerned with the cup yet. I have two money leagues to be concerned about so I'd need to keep practical for those rather than trying to win 10 more h2h on the trot.

PVA out. Coleman In
Sterling out. Firminho IN
-4

9 playing ( 10 if Holgate plays)

8 if Phillips doesn't play

My 6 are FM, Brunt, Phillips, Fraser, Mane and Siggy.
My FT will probably be Ibra to Lukaku and keep him for next 2 games. (Still considering alternatives such as banking and 3 transfers next week etc.)
I'm WCing soon (and out of Chips) and he's unlikely to be in. Others WCing later may consider Lukaku less or have a planned transfer and this goes for many players atm.

As far as the -12 my first reaction is don't.
Second reaction is if your taking out a blanker (who you don't want again) and getting a "keeper" then why not?

Probably Aguero back to Lukaku and Sterling to maybe Barkley or perhaps Firmino. Or might finally take care of Stanislas and bring in King. Don't want a city midfielder due to rotation risk so could take care of Sterling to Alli again or Eriksen in GW 29.

I'm have 2 Swansea and Everton players, also have 2 West Brom if Phillips is fit and Mane to add to that so I currently have 7 who might start.

Looking at the fixtures beyond GW28, West Ham appear to have decent prospects so the decision will be which of theirs to bring in?
I will probably need to get rid of Ibra if he is banned but would Carroll be too risky?
Other considerations would be to bring in Antonio for Phillips (if he is confirmed out) or a West Ham defender for Chambers...
Anyone have any idea of the Best Hammer to bring in?

Id prefer not to wildcard immediately after the Blank week so whoever I bring in will need to stay in the team for a few weeks.

Morrison to King a bit of no-brainer? A bit of a sidewise move with the week that's in it but i can't see Morrison doing anything away to Everton, and King nailed on in an attack-minded Cherries team and on pens is just so hard to ignore. After that i may do Sterling or Sane to Firmino for a -4, and that would leave me with (hopefully) 10 starters

Thoughts?

What about calling the Firmino Transfer the FT?


Looks a good pick especially as a fifth mid assuming he does not mess with future transfer plans.

Thinking of the following:

Aguero/Ibra to Llorente/Lukaku

Sterling/Sane to Mane/Coutinho

Pieters to Baines

Might actually take a 16 point hit - you are getting 8 points back straight away if you haven't got 11 players and those players should easily make up the other 8 points over the next 2/3 gameweeks. Maybe I should play my wildcard if I'm taking that many hits?

What's your starting 11 in GW29 if you rolled the transfer this week and had 2 free for that week?

I best go recheck this for my own team.

My FT will be used on a GK this GW...assuming Zlatan escapes a ban.
Mannone Grant owner.

Will risk leaving Holgate in the team, nothing to lose anyway.

Leaving Holgate there too. I've used my BB and one of the positive slants I'm putting on that is that I can afford 1 or 2 pieces of bench fodder in favour of a stronger 12 /13 for the run in. Holgate will probably stay till the death. I'll celebrate a 1 pointer from him next week like nothing else if it happens.
