    Arsenal and Southampton fixed for same GW as final.
    Wasn't that the case last year? Man City were fixed to play someone in the PL GW and it was their opponents in League Cup final?

    Or was it just a potential similar scenario

    Man City home to Cardiff GW33
    (DGW if City reach semi final of FA Cup)

    Liverpool away to Fulham GW31
    (DGW if Liverpool reached QF of FA Cup)

    With those potential fixtures being added into a GW to make a DGW, I will definitely be holding a TC for Aguero or Salah here!

    I don't have the TC chip but I definitely wouldn't be using it on Aguero. Especially with the consistency of 60Min sub

    It will be free for lads that believe you dont have to play a BB in a DGW though.

    Can we change the title of this thread to "WTF is Aaron Lennon doing in my team 2018-2019" ??


    I'll have a look at what Crelin is up to and hack it back into Excel if I get a chance.


    Will share if for free with all subscribers to my Slack channel, Patreon group etc :cool:

    Build now towards Blank GW31
    Free Hit GW32
    Wildcard GW34
    Bench Boost GW35

    Hold Triple Captain for remaining small double gameweek

    This is why I think there is no huge issue with an early wildcard. Should be easy enough to navigate once you FH in 32.

    The wildcard may now come in handy down the line to get Kane back in when he's properly fit

    Will do a post in the next couple of days for how to navigate the blanks and dgws for the early wildcards. Dont see us being at much of a disadvantage at all.

    Blank GW33 is the problem.
    This year is unlike other years that it goes Double followed by a Blank.
    I would agree using an early wildcard is not a major disadvantage, a lot of points could be made up between now and GW31. I was tempted myself.

    FH in 32 solves that problem. You plan for blank 31 and by blank 33 you will have even more players as some will be knocked out in FA qf

    FH in a DGW is something I’ve never considered, never even heard it mentioned. I like it. It will all depend on what the TC choices are

    Anyone on WC needs 3 pool players anyway. Will make navigating the blanks much easier.

    I did it last year it didnt work due to bad choices and bad luck but the logic behind ut makes sense so wont let that put me off.
