Double Gameweek 19 Match Day thread

What do we think start Kane, seems like the sane thing to do, or get double fever and start Lookman? On the fence on this one. It's always more fun having a double player but at the same time it's Kane you don't go benching him!

Hoping for Sterling to redeem himself after the 8 minute fiasco during the week.
And with Cavani In Martial on the doubtful list could come in favor here
Id use my wildcard based on having the triple spurs in with jist one game, but the way games are being postponed it could prove a waste

Have Mccarthy bamford & Dallas on bench. Do I BB or not? I have 10/11 starters on a DGW and thinking about TC Salah

Took a minus 8. Hoping fir the best !

I have them on my bench. But I also have Grealish and Martinez in the team and no guarantee that the Villa games will go ahead or that they will play (Grealish has made just one post on Twitter in the last week which could mean he has better things to do like get treated for Covid). And who knows what other games will get cancelled over the next week. Plus McCarthy is against Leceister and Ings is out and McCarthy just back from Covid so I suspect it will be backs to the wall for Southampton and I don't know if I fancy McCarthy to keep a clean sheet having been ill. He may not even play.

I keep a playing bench usually anyway. So I will hold the Bench boost and play it later in the season when it looks likely that all games will go ahead. I would only play the bench boost if they had doubles and it was worth the risk. A single now or a single on a few weeks. Makes little difference and far less risk to hold it.

EDIT: Looked ahead at the fixtures. Given that my bench usually is a rotation of low price assets from the likes of Leeds, Southampton, Villa, Burnley Game week 23 looks like a good chance to play the bench boost with those teams.

Free hit.

Ederson

TAA. Zouma. Stones. Justin. Creswell.

Pulisic. Kdb. Salah(c) Soucek

Vardy.

All dgw players.
Went against the template a bit no man utd players, I think their bubble is about to burst.
One or two differentials in Pulisic and Taa!!
I think most should play both matches
Looking forward to it

Planned towards BB-ing all along, Leeds game off and some injuries mean it's a non runner for me so I took a -8 and for the crack to try and get who I actually want on my team (City assets and an old friend called Timo). I usually am against taking hits but this season is gone to ****e, I may enjoy it now! Oh and Mo gets the TC.....

Fab (I think he starts)
Justin, Robbo, Stones
KDB, Salah (TC), Mount, Maddison, Gundogan
Timo, Watkins

Meslier, Bamford, Dallas, Taylor

Good luck all, please can we have more goals this GW.

I feel the same way regarding this season.
Losing interest fast despite being 60k in overall rank. Games cancelled last minute and so the feeling of uncertainty makes the game less enjoyable.

Meslier
Robertson Dias Coufal Justin
Salah KDB (TC) Son Bruno
Antonio Bamford

Honestly torn between KDB and Salah for TC but on Salah for now

On a -8 mainly to get KDB, have 10 DGWers, & holding triple captain:

Martinez

Robbo TAA James Dias

KDB (c) Salah Bruno Grealish Foden

Bamford

Johnstone

Targett, Dias, Robbo, Chilwell

KDB. Salah, Bruno, Grealish, Soucek

Antonio

McCarthy, Dallas, Bamford, Davis

No BB, very tempted by TC on KDB

This COVID adds in another big factor to consider as if it wasn’t hard enough!

I’ve Bamford, Son and Dier on the bench but 3 villa players playing, scouring the web for info on villa but I think I’ll save BB for later

A lot of teams are playing each other(duh, sounds obvious) but what I mean is that a lot of my players play more players in my team, which doesn't inspire confidence in generating massive points.

I do hope to go over the 100points mark, but wouldn't surprise me if I didn't.

I have KDB as captain at the moment but I'm possibly going to change to souchek - his form/fixtures seem to be easier, KDB has blanked a couple of times recently and that has hurt me ... So I'm aware he "should" get a decent return this week, but for some reason... I'm a bit worried over man city - the recent covid outbreak could have the same effect it has had on Newcastle, where they can't seem to get anything right at the moment.

I see a lot of people bench boosting and triple captaining and more power to them, if it works for them...fair play.

I'm afraid that this double gameweek will be like many over the years where those expected to get good points hauls often disappoint, I'm holding off until the next double gameweek,

Best of luck people...I hope I outscore you but ... In a nice way.

Kind of at a loss of what to do here, was feeling pretty happy until the cancellations.

I'm in a mini league that's broken into two halves - this is the final week of the first half. I hold a 4 and 18 point lead over my two rivals. The 18 point lead is playing TC this week, probably on Salah (or KdB)

I have one FT so was thinking maybe Dallas -> Dawson so I'm not risking a Leeds triple up. I have 0 money in the bank!

I think all I’d look to do in your position is shift one of your Leeds defenders (they both have good attacking returns but can you really trust a Leeds defensive double up) for someone with a DGW (ideally West Ham).

Dallas would be preferable to keep as Alioski’s place is less secure when Leeds have 2 fit CBs that aren’t Ayling, but Alioski’s price might make him the harder one to move to another decent DGW player.

Who to start out of Dallas (BHA) and ESR (NEW)?
