    Timber out for Thiaw is what I'm thinking but will wait for mid week games to decide. Still just leaves me with ten to play with the two goal keeper choices each with a tough game. Thinking it might be better to keep the free hit for another week since I see no clear upside to a lot of potential picks for this weeks games.

    There is still a chance City/Cry happens in GW31.

    Can't imagine many will FH this week.

    BGW34 more likely for FH.

    Holding off on making a move until friday.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,802 ✭✭✭✭shmeee


    Yes, anyone planning on moves, wait until Friday at least. That's pending City and Palace go out of Europe.

    Also, as you said - hard see many on FH. People have jumped of the 3 Arsenal players over last few weeks. Many have also ditched Halland. Odd Palace defender maybe. So not exactly stacked with loads of blankers.

    I can bench my 3 non playing players and "field" 11 with not FTs used. Which may be what I do. Hide Timber and evaluate after the long break then.

    Good to know the City/CP game decision.

    I have 3FT left, so was going to use these to patch GW31 (Selling Haaland, Sake, Semenyo) and then play WC immediately to get everything back.

    Saving FH, TC and BB for later

    If city place that changes everything (Only problem is the 18:30 Deadline)

    I presume we know Thursday night on the fixture and FPL cannot add a game once deadline is past, although I wouldn't put it past them??)

    It could be slotted into GW32 which would mean you'd try and hold and bench City/Palace assets for GW31.

    I’d also use the 3FT to patch up GW31, especially if you’re planning to hit WC right after. That way you keep your key players and reduce the risk of losing points to unexpected results or injuries. Plus, it lets you set up your squad for the City/CP game and get ready for the tougher GWs without rushing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,802 ✭✭✭✭shmeee


    Held Chalobah for GW31 and now he is flagged! If going to anyone, maybe a Leeds defender as solid run in.



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 11,531 Mod ✭✭✭✭F1ngers


    Had Gudmunssen as 3rd sub for a while now, also my 11th man for this GW31, gets a red.

    Also have Chalobah. 😟

    I have 3FT left, so was going to use these to patch GW31 (Selling Haaland, Sake, Semenyo) and then play WC immediately to get everything back.

    Selling and then bringing straight back in is a bad idea if you have a lot of value tied up in them.

    If you can use your 3 FTs on your other players to have 11 starters for GW31.

    If at all possible, hold your 3 FTs, as you will still have saved FTs after WC.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,125 ✭✭✭Bleating Lamb


    I currently have 4 free transfers……If I use 1 I can field 11 in this GW.

    If I then WC in GW32 do I lose the unused transfers for the following GW's?

    If memory serves me right you did lose unused transfers in the past after doing WC?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,802 ✭✭✭✭shmeee


    Nope, FTs carry after WC but you don't gain 1. So if have 2 FTs and use WC, week after still have 2 FTs.

    Palace go through after extra time. City and Place will blank in GW31 and won't double in GW32 is now confirmed.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,802 ✭✭✭✭shmeee


    And Chalobah out until May. Who's the most obvious defender TF in so? Andersen it looks like. But trying to find someone with a high ceiling / low EO, Rodon, Bogle or pure punt on a Spurs defender after Forest having a hard game tonight and all the way to penalties away in Denmark.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,283 ✭✭✭ForestFire


    So My Team blanking

    Guehi, Haaland, Semenyo, Gabriel, Rice, Chalobah….(4FT)

    My "Assistant" Team (Daughter) top of school ML Blanking

    Semenyo, Saka, Rice, Haaland, O'Reilly, H.Buueno ….(3FT)

    Still think of FT this week, taking out the Big Names, at least as many as needed to buy replacements

    WC next week (Refix full team), FH GW34 TC and BB whenever there is a DGW



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,314 ✭✭✭Cypher_sounds


    Have 4fts with 9 potential starters. Thinking KDH for Rice.

    Will make a defensive transfer. Obvious one would be Andersen for Richards but tempted to punt someone like Porro. Probably leave Mukiele on the bench.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5 DraftKing


    Chalobah is out until May, so it’s worth thinking about a solid replacement at the back. Andersen seems like the safe pick, but you could also look at higher upside options like Rodon or Porro, depending on how much risk you’re willing to take.
