BGW and DGW 20/21 Discussion thread

No idea tbh.

The other thing to look out for is, if the Carabao Cup SF is postponed, would Burnley v Man U be played in GW17?

I won’t be making any transfers until Friday, that’s for sure!

The league cup SF can be played at any time really. The final has already been delayed to April 25th. And it's only
one leg now so it can be fit into any slot before April 17th ish.

Yes, and if it is postponed next week, it opens up the possibility of Burnley v Man U being played in GW17

Man Utd would be happy enough to get Burnley game played you would imagine.

Antonio played 15 minutes today.

If he was looking likely to paly 60+ in the two games of DGW19 I'd be all over him.

Moyes talked about needing to be careful but also how they are struggling for goals without him.

Ya I'm tempted too, going to wait and see how he goes against Everton.

Same might as well try and just use transfers at this stage. The time to use the second wildcard seemed to be last week. And I have missed the boat.

Could you not use the second wildcard last gameweek?

It was the first wildcard that you had to use by last GW. the 2nd WC can be used from now until end of the season.

Ah right I don't feel so bad now. For some reason I had in my head the second wildcard could have been used this gameweek. Crossed wires.

Even if it could, i don't see how it would have been the time to play it?

Thinking the same, but th to at I've played it till now I only have 2 likely starters for 18 so im pretty much locked in to my FH unfortunately.

This is probably better suited to this thread lads

My team is in a heap
0.0 itb and 2 FT’s but think I’ll use a hit this week to set towards 18 FH and 19 BB if I can

Johnstone Button
KWP Justin Taylor (inj) Lindelof (inj) Lamptey (inj)
Salah Bruno KDB Grealish Gordon
Kane Wilson Barnes

Defenders are my immediate concern. Will probably bring Dallas in. Maybe for Lamptey also Gordon as bench fodder hasn’t been my best move and Grealish seems the easiest way to free up funds. Looking at Souchek in as he’s been going well also has a double

Any advice from others as to what they would do?

So 17 transfers inc hit
18 FH
19 use a transfer to ensure all players (probably button) are transfered too players who play and use BB

Not sure on the status of your injuries but I’d be looking at Lindelof to Pieters, Lamptey to Dallas.

If you are not BBin DGW19 then you are not in too bad of a state.

If BB I would be looking at getting rid of one of your premiums (Kane/KdB) and spreading some of the cash over the next 2 GWs.

Are you locked in to BB? Not sure it's ideal given you need to use precious fts on Button and Gordon. I'd be more inclined to focus your transfers on your first 11 for the dgwk. Needs some Leeds in there for sure I think. Grealish to Raphinha would free up some funds. Lindelof to Dallas. Lamptey to a West Ham defender maybe. Kane to Vardy/KDB to mid priced mid would get you the funds to upgrade one of your defenders to Chilwell/Robertson.

Agree.

I wouldn't panic just to try to use BB in DGW19. And given the chaos and uncertainty at the moment the wildcard could be worth holding.

I certainly wouldn't play the wildcard just so you can BB in 19 personally.

As Chesty said if you don't plan on BB in 19 you're not too bad and could have a strong DGW eleven with a hit or two.

My team is a bit of a disaster and I've been working towards a DGW19 eleven while using hits to fix it a bit. I'm already broken even or up points from four -4s in the last 5 weeks and will have 10 or 11 DGWers in 19

My team is a mess really but I don’t want to play my WC to solve so need some hits to fix. Don’t know should I just bite the bullet and go -8 this week with 4 transfers of the outfield players and do the gk transfer in 19 or tease it out to set for
FH in 18
BB in 19

The 2 Defensive transfers are ones I think I’ll do.

Was looking to get rid of Grealish and Gordon and go with Soucek & Martinelli (or another approx 6.0)
And then McCarthy in for button for the DGW/BB

5 transfers needed so thinking maybe

GW17 -4 to complete 3 of them
GW18 FH
GW 19 -4 & BB with something like

Johnstone McCarthy
KWP Justin Taylor Dallas Pieters
KDW Bruno Salah Soucek (6.0)
Kane Wilson Barnes


If I was to move Kane/KDB I’d need the same amount of work I think tho??

If you are not happy with your team then keep your BB, there will be more DGW’s later in the season.

That looks a solid team for BB DGW, can’t really have too much complaints.

I’ve 3.1m ITB and I’m looking at BB DGW.

Mendy (Forster —-> Fabianski)

TAA Robbo Coufal Cancelo (Bernardo —> Justin)

Salah Bruno Rashford Raphina (Riedewald —-> Soucek)

Bamford Adams Watkins

————-

I’ve only 1FT and those 3 transfers will cost me -4 in total. I think they will repay by playing 60 mins in both matches negating the -4.

Only decision I’m having is, do I go with 1 transfer of Justin this week & play him or go with Soucek too and play over Adams who plays Liverpool.

Could also go with Fabianski & play ahead of Mendy who has City at home.

There isn’t any clear cut transfer this week for someone who has a good fixture this week & a double in DGW.

That’s the thing. I haven’t taken many hits recently so should I take 1 big one to have a team for tomorow that coincides with the 19 DGW BB?
