Can get 7 out for the BGW without a hit. Torn to go ahead with my FH plan or hold. Would have preferred the fixture change not to have happened. Currently:

Pope, Johnstone
Dallas, Robertson, Justin, Balbuena, Cancelo
Salah, Son, Soucek, Fernandes, Raphinha
Adams, Bamford, Wood

Would then go Salah to KDB
Adams to Watkins

If Stones was nailed I'd get him in too for Justin for a hit

If I can get 8/9 players starting I am going to try and keep my FH.
You are annoyingly on the cusp of that with 7 starting. Given that you have planned two transfers the week after gw18 any -4 would mean another -4 the following week. So on balance I would day keep your FH.

But if Cancelo does not start gw18 suddenly you are only fielding 6 players in gw18!

Cheers for the reply

Yeah I really don't know. I'd probably be booking Son to Salah too.

I'll see what Pep says today. I'm really 50 50

I know I’ve brought in Stones with DGW19 in mind, however you are playing with fire if you are assuming your City assets are starting for the BGW.

Could easily end in disaster. I’m going ahead with FH and ensuring I’ve bench cover should Pep roulette strike that week.

Interesting on the Cavani ban running into the cups. Too many variables for us to ponder these days!

We have to earn our crust. I preferred the days you just picked Pires, Henry and Lampard with fodder all around!

Not forgetting Grealish is on 4 yellow, and a 5th means he misses a game.

The game was way easier in those days. No chips except for captain. No fellas going on about XG's and underlying stats. :cool:

Part of me is very tempted to get Cavani when his ban is up. But will Ole try and 'shield him' and bring him back into the team gradually. Would he start him v Fulham?

I forgot about that. I was considering taking him out for El Ghazi to free up funds anyway but that has made my mind up.

Jeez we're going pre-trinity days even lol! Ruud was a mainstay in my side in the early days once it switched to fpl. The 1st is a good time to reminisce!

Its my biggest concern at the moment. Why is it that Cavani's suspension spreads among all competitions but 5th yellow cards do not? Are cup yellow cards not counted in the 5 yellows this year?

Juan Pablo Angel still fills me with fond memories when he went on a great run at Villa..think I've played every year since it started. Was in college 00-04 and think it was one of those years it kicked off

Bill payers permission...

Paul Rideout was always consistent. Pen/free takers Irwin and Pearce always in.
Always a job deciding which big name forwards to get in. Sutton/Shearer/Cole/Cantona/Wright

Dunno think it was Scorpian that said it in the other thread.

My head is absoloutely melted looking at transfers, i am happy enough with my squad have 2m ITB and 2 free transfers

Below is my current squad gives me 6 at the minute for GW 18 and 11 for DGW 19

McCarthy Johnstone
Chilwell Justin Stones Cancello KWP
Grealish Salah Bruno Son Soucek
DCL Bamford Adams

Thinking below as i really want to get Aguero but i also want to keep 15 players and no fodder to cover me through any postponements even though it is a selection headache.

A. DCL, Soucek --> Aguero, Smith Rowe
B. DCL, Johnstone, Justin --> Aguero, Holding, Forster
C. DCL, Justin --> Aguero, Strujik/Mitchell
D. Justin, Chilwell --> Dias, Maguire

Leaning towards A but will City attack click i dont know so option D would be a good back up one for Blank & Double with triple City defence and United defence coverage for their favourable fixtures

Rikand · 01-01-2021 03:07PM

those extra games being added in have really screwed my plans

Personally I would look at getting DCL out for Vardy. Maybe downgrade Chilwell for a west ham defender. Or downgrade grealish to Rafina.
Are you looking to BB in gw 19?

If ya really want Aguero i think C is the best option and pick Strujik.

I have toyed around with getting Aguero in now and my head is fried - If Jesus is out and say Torres as is being reported - would Aguero be likely to start against Chelsea?

He has 15 goals against Chelsea including two hattricks. In fact he's never score more against any other team. hmmm

Rikand · 01-01-2021 03:52PM

I dont see cartman having it posted anywhere since the fixtures were added and I presume people have just edited the excel file to include the new fixtures themselves, but incase people havent or dont know how to, this is mine attached. I think its right

ShagNastii · 01-01-2021 04:04PM

Thinking of getting some UTD defenders in. Bar LIV some great fixtures coming up.

2 FTs in the next hour.

Wan-BA & a city defender

Or

Robertson & Kilman

kilburn · 01-01-2021 04:21PM

Thanks all in the end i went with below gives me 8 for BGW and 29 for DGW BB

DCL, Chilwell, Justin --> Wan Bissaka, Aguero, Lowton

Mid table teams used to always have some good players, Benito Carboni and David Unsworth were two heroes from back in those days

I can't even remember hearing of rotation way back then. Maybe in the very early rounds of the cup competitions that was about it.
Now every team seems to do it at some stage except the teams with smaller set squads like Burnley, Leeds, Sheffield United.

First Draft Free Hit for GW 18

Martinez Randolph
Kilman Holding Saiss Mitchell Cancelo
Zaha Grealish KDB Bruno Saka
DCL Kun Kane

Heavy midfield and front line - Could potentially end up with no playing defenders lol

bantee · 01-01-2021 08:10PM

Will FH in GW19 I think as I'm only short 3 players to field 11 in GW18, have exact money for KWP, Salah,Firmino to Stones, Sterling, Aguero for a -4. Risky but it could be a great move for a low scoring GW. Will see if Kun plays this weekend.

That looks good, Only adjustments I’d make is a Newcastle defender and Wilson instead of dcl.

Would be worth it for a -4. But the last time I took a -4 for Aguero with the exact money. I took out Bamford and he scored a hattrick! Aguero did nothing. I hope you have better luck than I did!

Randolph doesn't have a game, why ya wasting .4 there?

Similar team for me
DDG (4.0)
Cancelo Saiss Mari (Lewis Kilman)
KDB Bruno Son Martinelli (4.3)
Wilson Kun Kane

I'm a million spare there. Might try Coleman in defence too for old time sake. Could upgrade Martinelli to Podence, El Ghazi or ASM also

Shedite27 · 01-01-2021 08:55PM

As an aside, what are people who are FH'ing planning on ding for the next two weeks? Under normal circumstances I'd start making transfers today to catch any rises, but with Covid I'm slow to in case they do anything like stopping the game for 2 weeks.

I wouldn't be activating it and making any transfers until the last minute, feck the price rises and falls. Anything could happen in the next two weeks.
