Double GW28 Transfer thread

    Not doing go to go ahead with this -12 now. Transferring out 2 players who play gw30 doesn’t make sense .. or does it?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,688 ✭✭✭✭Muahahaha


    If you just went with 2 Chelsea rather than 3 how many players could you field for BGW30 with the fixtures as they currently stand, could you get 10 out? No plans to free hit that week?



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08


    As things now stand I have 6 BGW players - Martinez

    Johnson

    Son Bowen Ramsey

    Jiminez

    The proposed -12 would leave me with 5 BGW players. I’m not sure which 2 Chelsea players I’d transfer in & then if I didn’t BB, who would I bench for this week - Liverpool assets or Son?

    Just putting this in here as it may help people.




  • Registered Users Posts: 602 ✭✭✭CSWS101


    Do Chelsea not have a fixture in GW30?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,288 ✭✭✭✭gammygils


    Nope. Still in The Fa Cup



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,136 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    After seeing Mount start in the cup im starting to sway to Willock now instead.

    He has a double double and is in great form.



  • Registered Users Posts: 925 ✭✭✭rekluse


    Would a - 12 for Bowen / Gray / Ait nouri/ Fernandez to JWP / Willock / Rudiger / Forster to bench boost be madness?

    Would leave me 12 doublers with

    Sa / Forster

    Digne Rudiger Schar Cancelo Taa

    Raph / Coutinho / Salah / Willock / JWP

    Jimi / Watkins / Borja



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,688 ✭✭✭✭Muahahaha


    yeah pretty sure Im going the same way, Bowen for Wilcock. Im still a bit on the fence about selling Bowen given the points he has racked up but I was the same when selling Raphinha for Bowen and that worked out pretty well in the end. It just feels like Bowens returns has dried up somewhat while Wilock has good form. If Wilock blanks the four games will probably look to offload him then, Im keeping money ITB so I could get to a few other mids if necessary.

    Otherwise think Im going to take a -4 to offload Mee for Rudiger. Would prefer go straight to James but its too risky atm when he is only coming back from injury. I might even put the armband on Rudiger, him doubling could outscore Salah v West Ham. It is risky though as both Chelseas games are away from home.

    Its a tricky one to navigate GW30 without using a free hit. And if you go into it with just 6 players then it could be a disaster that yields only 20-25 points. I think you either have to set up for it now but that could mean buying players you dont necessarily want or else just free hit to save doing that and using transfers that you wouldnt otherwise have used. You could maybe get up to 9 players for the blank GW which might not be too bad so long as you still want them long term.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,741 ✭✭✭Dr. Bre


    I am currently thinking of bringing in dubravka because Newcastle also have a double the gameweek after . Also thinking broja for weghorst . -4



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


    Just running through something in my head. I can do Tarkowski and Weghorst to Kilman and Lacazette for a -4.

    This would give me:

    Dubravka*

    TAA, Kilman*, Digne*, Saiss*

    Salah, Son, Coutinho*, Raphinha*

    Jimenez* Broja*

    Ramsdale, Tierney, JWP*, Lacazette


    Would you make those transfers and play BB if you did?



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08


    I could end up with 9 players in BGW 30 by banking transfer next week (I don't see one I'd make either) and then doing a -4 to get 3 players. I'd be happy with 9 players with only 4 fixtures taken place. I don't mind ending up with players I don't want as I'll be wildcarding GW31. I'll be FH GW36.

    The issues I have are;

    1) I have no Chelsea and no Arsenal players.

    • It's a GW early to bring in an Arsenal player for a hit and Chelsea blank GW30 anyway.

    2) I have my 7 DGW players for GW28 and my 3 Liverpool + Son to make up my Xi. Who could I drop to start a Chelsea asset, a Wolves asset or even Saiss for Wolves.

    I really feel like I should just -12 for piece of mind. Finish this week with 5 BGW 30 players and then 3 transfers going into GW30 for a -4 to field 8. Like i'll be losing Johnson and I won't be playing him any GW except 30 & I wouldnt be confident he'll return away to Spurs. Similar sentiments towards Bowen and feel Havertz could return well in the 3 games before that



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,520 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    If I got word ASM is fit he would be perfect to get for the ill fated Edouard. Then Bowen out for a hit for a Leicester mid thus not dropping a GW30 player. Would be a potential BB of

    Meslier (lei VILLA)

    Cancelo (MU) or Leicester mid (LEE)

    Odegaard (wat)

    White (wat)

    Reliant on Arsenal somewhat.



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


    Oh, ASM being fit would change things considerably for me too.

    I was going to do Bowen -> Raphinha to get a DGW player in, that also plays in GW30. Bowen's fixtures are not the best anyways and has a few blanks now.

    But I wonder is Kulusevski a better option or trying to be too smart? He seems to be in a bit of decent form now.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,304 ✭✭✭munster87


    If you were going for Newcastle attack, Willock or Fraser? Fraser looks good right now. Willock's end of season form could return!?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,205 ✭✭✭scotchy


    Anyone able to put up a Captain poll?

    Salah could probably still outscore most of the doublers.

  • Registered Users Posts: 602 ✭✭✭CSWS101


    Currently considering a -8 which will leave me with:

    Sanchez (Foster*)

    Cancelo TAA Coady* Digne* White

    Raphina* Fraser* Salah Diaz Bruno

    Broja* Dennis* Watkins*

    Thinking of BB this week then get Son in for Bruno next week & FH in 30.

    Now the question is do I go for a -12 and bring in Rudiger for White? Rudiger doubles this week, Newcastle at home next. FH in 30 so White playing then is irrelevant. White doubles next week but it's Leicester and Liverpool at home, could easily be 4 points where as rudiger has Burnley, Norwich and Newcastle. All with high CS potential. Worth the risk?


    Same as @munster87 can't decide between Fraser/Willock, Fraser has higher xGA so siding with him at the moment.

    Plan was to play bb this week and think I'll go ahead with it. Only transfer I'm looking at is possibly VVD to Rudiger. Would give me 9 doublers and bench of Ramsdale, Digne, Saka and Lacazette. All eggs in the Arsenal basket really. Don't want to sell any of them as I won't be using FH in 30.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,994 ✭✭✭c.p.w.g.w


    Do spurs have a DGW on GW30? The grraph suggests they do, but it's not listed on the FPL website



  • Registered Users Posts: 602 ✭✭✭CSWS101


    No they don't, any teams included in the GW30 circle only have a single match.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,708 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    Was planning to WC but proving difficult to get a good team for BB next week so might hold and go -8. Think option B has less rotation risk

    A. Laporte/Bilva/Antonio to James/Mount/Jiminez

    Or

    B. Antonio/Weghorst/Bilva to Kane/Broja/Ramsey



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,688 ✭✭✭✭Muahahaha


    I considered him as he does look decent. The problem though is Spurs themselves, recent form suggests that if they are playing an open game they can get bags of goals like 3 v City and 4 v Leeds. But as soon as a team parks the bus they struggle to even score, they didnt score v Burnley or v Middlesborough in 120 minutes in the FA Cup during the week.

    In the xGA stats Fraser is the better pick but its really marginal between them, iirc it was 0.53 to 0.51 in Frasers favour so its really a coin toss between them. Im going Wilock myself but its not really based on anything except his form at the end of last season which really doesnt matter that much apart from his confidence being high.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,688 ✭✭✭✭Muahahaha


    Might help decision making on Newcastle for their double double




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,736 ✭✭✭Bleating Lamb


    See a lot of people bringing in Rudiger as Chelsea defensive cover,Thiago Silva is .2 cheaper and has better recent underlying stats…..think he will be my move.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,994 ✭✭✭c.p.w.g.w




  • Registered Users Posts: 5,708 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,100 ✭✭✭whitelightrider


    So to bring in Chelsea midfielder, what are peoples thoughts arount Mount vs Jorginho?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,136 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    What is the story with player value!?Dunno how many times this season I've made transfers the day before because player was over 100 per cent about to go up or down in value then nothing happens and there under 100 again!



  • Registered Users Posts: 925 ✭✭✭JPup


    Be useful if that Newcastle comparison showed how many minutes they’d played. Thanks for sharing anyway.



  • Registered Users Posts: 332 ✭✭trigger26


    ugh captain pick time, this feels like a big week. Gas how similar the twitter wildcard teams are



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,136 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    Coutinho seems to be edging it for most atm over Salah. I have it on Coutinho I fancy Willock though.



  • Registered Users Posts: 332 ✭✭trigger26


    I went for budget option of ramsey, he's no spring chicken Coutinho anymore but he could have 20 minutes of magic easy, Salah a very tempting and safe option, West Ham are a bit rocky but still good at the back



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,428 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    Think I saw somewhere that Coutinho had total XG of 0.7 over the past 4 games. That's less than one goal over 4 weeks. Not great opportunities he's getting



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,136 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    Yeah I think it's the teams he's playing and fact Villa had a better result playing two up front the last day driving a lot of peoples choices.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,839 ✭✭✭✭callaway92


    Doing my 2nd Free Hit this week

    Would Lukaku or Jiminez be the Captain choice for you?

    I'm on Lukaku currently but funnily enough been toying with Jiminez



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,136 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    If I was picking on form and who's gonna play most between those two id go Jiminez but there's a risk with either of them to be honest.



  • Advertisement
  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,715 ✭✭✭Cartman78


    Neither 😳

    Jiminez is bang out of form and game time not consistent over the past few GWs.

    Lukaku has burned me badly before with DGW, TC etc so personally I'd avoid.

    There's surely better options out there if you're looking for a differential pick (?)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,839 ✭✭✭✭callaway92


    Interesting - Surprised by those comments!

    I've gone with 11 DGW players. Worked well for my last Free Hit so doing same




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,136 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    On current form or fixtures id go with one of your main attacking midfielders for captain.

    The forwards definitely have the potential but there's a big chance both won't get the returns or even time.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,724 ✭✭✭eoghan104


    Why so much money on the bench in TAA? Surely downgrade him and upgrade willock or JWP?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,839 ✭✭✭✭callaway92


    I suppose it's just a case of who else can I put the money into really? I find the team I have lined up as the highest percentage chance of returns. So in that sense, I'm happy to have them even if money is tied up in TAA etc. I could just downgrade TAA to anyone really but it wouldn't matter.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,104 ✭✭✭markc91


    So Ff fix has my protected score for this gameweek at 80(-4) leaving me with a team of


    Sa (Foster)

    Saiss White Vvd (Cacelo,Dias)

    Salah Saka Bowen Tielemans Son

    Broja Jiminez (Rodriguez)


    Would you BB with this team or I could FH to get 11 Dgws which projects me to get 100 points.

    Is Reece James a viable option now with Azpi injured?



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,173 ✭✭✭Dearg81


    If you don't BB I would definitely play Cancelo ahead of White.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,715 ✭✭✭Cartman78


    ASM "could" feature this weekend according to Howe on SSN, although he hasn't trained with the team yet



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,736 ✭✭✭Bleating Lamb


    I’m tempted by Che Adams…..two decent fixtures and he is bang in form….but Coutinho not great in last few games…..a Chelsea defender not a bad shout either given likely Clean Sheets gained.
