BGW and DGW 20/21 Discussion thread

Think I've decided on the wc

Martinez
Digne Pereira Dias
KDB Gundo Bruno Barnes Pereira
Kane DCL

Johnstone Watkins Konsa Rudiger

BB in 27. Few low owership players, hoping they'll give me a boost. Not convinced on Watkins without Grealish but can bench him. Other option is Diagne instead then drop Pereira and go 3-4-3.

Any thoughts or suggested improvements?

No Salah against a Southampton team that is leaking goals, and will be missing Romeu is the most glaring omission. Then up against the team that he failed to make it. He has 5 goals and 2 assists in 14 games against Chelsea since leaving them. That game could have huge consequences for pool if they really want to make top 4.

Could you get in a Spurs defender, 2 good fixtures for CS, and will give extra body for GW29

They're playing Sheffield United not Southampton and while they have injuries, they've tightened up a lot. Don't think Salah is a must own with the way Pool are playing and I want to go KDB as a differential. Am prepared to eat my words when Salah gets the inevitable hat trick!! Too much rotation in the Spurs defence for my liking and their stats aren't great anyway. Will be playing FH in 29. Been up and down around 300k for weeks now and just willing to take a few risks with wc. Cheers for taking the time to reply.

De Bruyne is definitely the wildcard this week. Very likely to start vs West Ham, and odds on to start both games. It's a case of which mids you choose to go with

Yeah plus the extra game in 27, I'd expect him to get minutes in all 4 games. Depends on your rank too of course, if I was in a better position I'd probably stick with Salah but feck it, might as well go with my gut and try to make some gains.

All that said and I still can't commit to keeping him instead of Salah this week! I think I'll ultimately stick with it as I don't want to waste a free transfer next week doing the swap.

Gonna go with BB this week. Been working towards it for a while so need it to come off. Season decider for me. I'm saving FH for GW29.

A -4 for Mee -> Pereira & Maddison -> Barnes can get me this team, which will have 11 DGW players, albeit a few City so a bit of risk there.

Martinez Sanchez
Lowton Pereira Stones Dallas
Sterling Barnes Salah Foden Soucek
Bamford Watkins Kane

Unless anyone can see a better transfer than Mee -> Pereira & Maddison -> Barnes ?

Looking at that, might first thought would be to get in Bruno for Sterling but then maybe you are looking for a big differential. High risk strategy though!

Is a city captain not high risk this week? Bruno, Kane and Salah very likely to play 180 mins. Certainly 150+ barring injury.

City are managing players now with all the cups in mind. Big derby game next weekend. KDB just back from injury. I think you’d be lucky as an owner if he gets more than 120 mins this game week.

Can anyone tell me whether the big hitters (Bruno, Kane, Salah, KDB) are likely to have another DGW before the end of the season? Other than GW 27 of course

Spurs/Man City will have another double as they don't play the weekend of the Carabao Cup final (GW33)

Absolutely. People have been burned on numerous occasions in City DGWs. Add the facts they have 2 DGWs in a row, are well ahead in the league, and a great chance in the CL, and its likely there'll be a lot of rotation.

I agree about City and rotation, I feel its going to be worse for the rest of the season. I'm happy to go with 2 defenders and Gundogan in the medium term because at least they're relatively cheap and if the defenders don't start they are unlikely to play at all. If I'm paying for KDB I'd want him to be playing every match which I don't think he will.

Saying that, I can see why people who are taking gambles at this stage of the season are going for him.

KDB has been fairly fixture proof by City's standards, he's started every game he was fit for this season, and only came off early twice.

Cancelo being pulled last minute leaves me with Stones and Gundogan in.. Pep rotation nerves are high this GW

I know a lot of people will have stones and dias in there squad this week..

Overall it's low though, 13% in top 10k, and 8% overall

Really? I think the Dias doubtful week must have changed that a lot where people switched to 2 attackers, I know a lot have Cancelo instead too but I still didn’t realise it was such a differential.

I wonder will Stones keep his spot now rather than being rested against Wolves after scoring and winning MOTM.

He loves a DGW clearly.

Unless I put the wrong names in the fplive website but fairly sure i pick them.

And yet very few of us would captain him

Maybe he was previously when they weren't doing as well as now. Anyway we'll see over the next few games who's right I guess.

Currently have 7 players for GW29 and have no BB so will get Reguillon for AWB if he makes it through midweek and then get a Brighton defender in next week or the week after.
