Double Gameweek/Blank Gameweek Planning - FPL 2018/2019

    Using my WC to build for the DGW and the blank GW.

    Looking at 7DGW'ers

    10 players in the blank.

    11 DGW'ers and 9 Blank (will get 11 but will require a -4 and probably too much faith in Chelsea & Palace).


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 8,576 Mod ✭✭✭✭Wilberto


    I'd probably have more faith in Palace than Chelsea.




    :pac:

    I see Brighton have a 'triple double' in GW32, 34 and 35.
    I am doubling up on defence, Ryan and Dunk added.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,654 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Quaner is listed on the website now too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,132 ✭✭✭✭normanoffside


    On WC
    I have :
    Ryan- Guaita
    Dunk-AWB-Boly (Bednarek, Robertson)
    Pogba, Mané- Sterling-GerryD (JWP)
    Jimi-Aguero-Kane

    So as it stands I have: 10 doublers for 32 (Plus Mané),
    2 Doublers for 34 (Dunk and Ryan) and 11 Doublers for the BB in 35 (plus I'll have 2 FT to get 13 Doublers).

    I'm Free hitting in 33 so i don't have to worry about that right now.

    I have a lot of Value in Robertson but I can FH him in for 33, so i might get rid of him this GW actually and get in Trippier or another Spurs defender.....not sure. Will leave that decision until later.

    And Fellaini removed finally.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,264 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Liverpool are so strong at home. I can understand the temptation of FH'ers to field 11 doublers, but we've seen before having 2 games isn't always what we hype it up to be. If i was on FH i think i'd select Mane for sure. In such good form. Maybe go without a 'Pool defender since they're up against Spurs and haven't been as solid defensively lately at home.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,132 ✭✭✭✭normanoffside


    I see Brighton have a 'triple double' in GW32, 34 and 35.
    I am doubling up on defence, Ryan and Dunk added.

    Brighton’s double in GW34 is almost perfect. Bournemouth and Cardiff both at home. I think I will triple up on defence and get Duffy in. Himself and Dunk are 2 of their biggest goal threats as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,971 ✭✭✭shmeee


    Firmino to Quaner to free up some cash just done before FPL pull him. A 4.3mil 3rd forward bench fooder will help for sure!

    Any opinions on best strategy for this with FH, TC and BB left but no WC?

    Similar situation here. Think it depends how many players you have with a double gw for 32 and how many players you have available for gw 33.
    I’ve gone with free hit for 32, would have liked to TC Aguero or Sterling, but for me probably more beneficial to get 11dgw players for this week. I’ll have 10 or 11 playing for gw33.
    Still to decide whether to TC gw 35 or bench boost.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    Toyed around about and currently have:

    Fabianski
    Lindelof(May change) Luiz Laporte Schlupp
    Mane Hazard Sterling
    Aguero Rondon Rashford

    Hamer, Brooks Barnes Yedlin.

    Toss between Jimmy and Rashford really but feel I need United cover.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,675 ✭✭✭thunderdog


    I wonder what Ben Crelin gets up to between now and the end of the season.

    WC activated... just needed to see all those DGWers with their fixtures.

    For some reason, I'm going to keep with Higuain. 2 excellent fixtures and a home GW33 fixture... ah who am I kidding, I hate having him. If I was on/had a FH, he wouldn't be there. Have serious Kane fear but it would mean losing my bench, which is needed for 33.

    Kepa
    Laporte, Schlupp, AWB, Dunk
    Sterling, Pogba, Hazard, Mili
    Aguero, Higuain

    Ryan, Rondon, Brooks, Daniels

    If Zaha is fit then I'll probably get Higuain out and upgrade Mili or do a little re-jig.

    9 for GW33 as it stands. Will be taking a -4 to get 2 pool in.

    Kepa
    Schlupp, AWB, Daniels, (VVD in)
    Hazard, Mili, Brooks, (Mane in)
    Rondon, Higuain


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    My Kane fear is diminishing a little. Their recent form isn't great, one game is away to Pool, and they're as likely to freeze in the new stadium as they are to explode. It took them ages to adjust to Wembley.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    I'm now thinking of BB in 34. My crappier players - and that's what BB is, a chance for your crappier players to shine - have decent fixtures, and Brighton and Cardiff have a double. Brighton will likely only have staying up as a goal by that stage.

    Big change up in my squad
    WILDCARD ACTIVE
    Any opinions???

    Ederson
    TAA Doherty Wan Bissaka VVD
    Sterling Hazard Mane
    Jimenez Aguero Fraser

    Have Sterling as captain but do not think he will start both games :/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,292 ✭✭✭✭gammygils


    Still have all my chips :D
    Probably use the FH this GW. Still have a week to mull it over ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,851 ✭✭✭redarmy


    Hi folks, still have all chips, only have 3 double this week plus 2 players in the red, what advice on what chips to use going foward, Thanks in advance. only 7 for 33

    Without knowing your team:
    Wildcard now
    Free hit 33
    BB 34 (cardiff and brighton have doubles)
    TC 35 when double

    Although this may well be the best week for TC if you weren't "burdened" with all your chips


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,815 ✭✭✭bantee


    Anyone in the same spot as me with a WC & BB left? Any templates for a WC 33 team that would also allow a BB 34 team? Or should I take a hit to field as many as possible in 33 and then WC in 34 with 35 also in mind for a BB? I’ll draw up a few ideas in the coming days.

    Yeah and also at a loss as to what to do! Thinking bb in 35 and then TC salah vs huddersfield in 36.

    Holebas starts so I can consider my bench boost a success or at least not a fail

    WC 34 is my preference with a 35 BB

    Bit of a head scratcher this evening.

    9 transfers made just to insure I have 11 players for this GW33, played the WC of course.

    Dont want to make any more, as planning on getting two of them back in, in time for GW 35 without taking a hit, and without reducing DGW players for GW 34 and 35.

    The four not playiing this GW, three are scheduled are playing twice in GW34, and all scheduled to play in GW35. So may leave things as they are now.

    When two players are back in, will have 2/3 DGW players for GW34, and 6/7 for GW35. All depends on when I play the bench boost.

    Current line up (after transfers)

    Ryan Fabianski
    V.Dijk PVA Pereira Kolasinac Duffy
    Mané Fraser March Son Richarlison
    Firmino Lacazette Rondón

    Two players coming back in are Docherty for Pereira, and Aguero for Lacazette. Anyother suggestions, and what week to play the Bench Boost. No other chips left.

    WC has been activated?

    Prob don't want to hear it but it isn't really the week for the WC imo.

    WC in 34 and BB in 35 is the one people are going for I think. Load their teams with DGWers in the WC and potentially have 8(4 DGW subs) games on the bench alone...

    Even if on WC, I would nearly consider going with only 9 or 10 this week and sticking in a couple more 35 DGWers.

    You've always the option of a hit in the lead up to 35 as well I suppose.


  • Registered Users Posts: 215 ✭✭hupskip


    Still have TC, WC and BB,

    Is WC this game week the best option?

    I'm planning on WC in 34, bb in 35 and tc Salah in 36. Guess the alternative would be WC now then bb in 34 and tc kun in 35? I don't want to rush a wc by tomorrow night though.

    Many will do it next week (34) and set themselves up for a BB for the next double week (35). Though it means likely no double week for TC.

    With only a free hit left when is the best time to do it, start of gw34 or 35 ?

    35 is the obvious answer but it all BB depends on your team

    Do you have many doublers for 35? That will give your answer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,254 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Cartman's spreadsheet is an invaluable tool at this time of season
    I have a clear plan in mind now around BB and TC
    Not the one I had in mind . But it is so easy to see the games my fodder have and save me taking hits to waste on BB

    And now I have changed my mind again LOL
    It is very hard resist the lure of a DGW packed with doublers

    It is until I realise my doublers will be two Brighton and two Southampton!

    I'm really, really considering TC35, BB36.

    I'm really, really considering TC35, BB36.

    But who will you TC?
    Basically I have to decide today my plan for the next 2 weeks
    If i am gonna BB next week then i need to take a -4 mane to son this week followed by a -8 next week. So that is 12 points down already.......TC is then either Salah 36 or Jiminez 37

    If I do not take a hit this week I will not be able to BB next week more than likely but most of squad have a decet fixture bar McNeil . But I would money ITB to bring in Jota . But who would I TC.......honestly it would probably be Jiminez.........
    I would also be stuck with the likes of Brooks , Perreira and wilson for rest of season which is part of the attraction of taking the hits and bench boosting next week. I would have enough money ITB to upgarde Wilson to Firmino 36 as well
    Tough call and not much time to make it

    The thing that is really holding me back is worries over Son's game time and whether he will even outscore Mane by 4 over next 2 weeks.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,787 ✭✭✭Benimar


    TC35 could be Aguero, Sterling, Son, Jimenez or Lacazette. Even Deeney could be an option.

    Only own aguero. Will prob own Jiminez. That will be it if I do not get Son this week. And there is no way i would TC him anyway!!!

    If they go out of the CL I think he would be a great shout to be honest.

    Just seen pochs comments about resting and rotating
    I’ll keep Mané this week
    Can always take the -12 in one week if I feel it’s worth it !
    But I doubt I will
    TC in a DGW is sensible
    Bb is fools gold

    And I have a funny feeling by holding some of the sgw players being sold en masse by wildcarders I may get rewarded

    TC Jimmi is interesting now. I'm guessing he has only been rested this season before FA Cup or big matches? Can't see him being rested.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,399 ✭✭✭✭ThunbergsAreGo


    What are people's plans for the TC?

    Is Robbo Vs Huddersfield too boring? It's my current pick

    Aguero, Son or Jiminez next week for me at the moment.

    I’d normally say never captain a defender, but my current week captain is Duffy :p

    Stronly considering a hold till GW38.
