    Just seen his amazing goal and his equally amazing miss from last night :eek:

    I’ve had him for a couple of weeks now and holding through the blank...would be a lot happier if Arteta stopped playing him out on the wing

    Looking for some advice as I really want to win the work league. Trailing by 40 points, but still have bench boost, wildcard and free hit to use.

    I know there is a thread on it, but whats the general consensus as to when to use the above chips?

    My team currently stands as (for this weekend)

    Alisson

    Rico
    Taylor (Burnley)
    TAA
    Kelly

    Cantwell
    Perez
    Salah (C)

    Ings
    Vardy
    Calvery Lewin

    Bench:

    Mc Carthy
    Lundstram
    Mahrez
    De Bruyne

    I have 1 free transfer to use this week, should I be holding on to it to use 2 next week?

    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Id sell lundstram for boly this week. Which gives you an extra player this week and an extra player in gw 31 if you dont want to FH then.

    That defence is a disaster. Only TAA & Taylor are regular starters now. Your other 3 defenders have all lost their place now. Perez far from nailed too but he's probably okay to keep with this upcoming run they have and he's very explosive.

    I'd definitley use a transfer this week on replacing one of them otherwise you may only have 8/9 players this week. I'd definitely be getting a Wolves defender in for one of Kelly/Rico/Lundstram. They've Spurs this week and after that they've a gift of a run including a game in 31.

    How do you all approach using your chips?

    Which of them would you advise me to use first and in what game week? Any advice would be really appreciated, newbie player


  • Registered Users Posts: 211 ✭✭ShimSlady


    Think I'll ship KDB/Ings out for Auba/Bruno next week

    Wouldn't surprise me to see KDB playing less minutes with the CL being the main focus for City


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,933 ✭✭✭Blanco100


    What do you think yourself ?

    Well I'm not sure whether to activate wildcard on a particular DGWs, or whether I should activate a week in advance of a large DGW with an eye on using BB for the double. And completely stumped as to when the free hit. If there was a way of tieing it all in/playing the percentages I would do that.

    I've not played the game before this season so just interested in getting some advice of the seasoned pros, did not want to antagonize.

    Id try and get through gw 31 without using the FH for this to happen you need liverpool to be knocked out of Fa cup. Id wildcard in gw 33 and BB in gw 34 and FH in dgw 37.

    Plenty play it differently but I would WC 1-2 weeks before a DGW and use BB in that DGW. So you pretty much sussed that one yourself.

    I think FH is more difficult this year. I’ll try and keep it for a DGW but GW 31 will be hard as it will be a tough BGW. Depending on how many fixtures they are some people may be happy to have 5-6 players.

    That would then leave you with the FH for the other DGW.

    You have problems this week so I wouldn’t be carrying the FT. I could argue for a hit. Kelly shouldn’t play and there’s a chance Rico won’t either.

    Busts gave you some good advice re Boly but even then you could still only have 10 playing.

    Hope that helps a little.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,654 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    @blanco100 Agree with busts re: Boly and klopparama re: maybe taking a hit. Adding a Newcastle defender along with Boly mightn't be a bad idea - okay fixture this week and good chance they won't blank in 31.

    If doing that I think you have to go for 2 Wolves defenders, guaranteed to play in 31 and great fixtures. Think if he takes the hit then he shouldn't FH in GW31. If that's what he goes with it'd be some disaster to then end up with Newcastle not playing.

    With a small bit of cash in the bank Lundy, Kelly to Boly, Saiss should be doable


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,654 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    I've to pick 3 starters from Boly, Stephens and Traore this week. Traore starting last night and recent benchings has me leaning towards playing the two defenders. What do we think??

    Boly anyway
    Tough call between the other 2
    If you could be sure Traore would start then him
    But you can't so.....

    Yeah think Southampton will concede but Stephens has a bit of an attacking threat so might go with him and hope for the best.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,654 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Hmm I actually have enough to do Traore to Fernandes, it would be for a hit though. Could bench Stephens then.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,354 ✭✭✭Porthallian


    Currently starting:
    McCarthy
    TAA Soy PVA
    Mane Salah Richarlison Perez
    Ings Jiminez Giroud

    Subs Pope Snodgrass Taylor Saiss

    Correct order?


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


    One of my mates is up to 258 OR.

    He's normally bottom of my mates league, the kind of lad who logs on once a week to make a transfer. His rank normally ends up in the millions. He's done things in the past like make Alan Hutton captain. Hasn't owned Vardy or Mane all season. Didn't use his first wildcard, I'm not convinced he even knows the chips exist.

    Ridiculous

    60 points this week with Pope on the bench...bloody hell.

    Brings back memories of 7 transfer guy in one of my leagues a few years back. Think he made it to top 50 with 8 gws to go all fell apart in the last 8 gws and finished outside 50k.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,911 ✭✭✭Chuck Noland


    Start either
    Boly v BHA
    or
    Soyuncu v Villa


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,264 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Start either
    Boly v BHA
    or
    Soyuncu v Villa
    Boly for the superior goal threat


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,354 ✭✭✭Porthallian


    Start either
    Boly v BHA
    or
    Soyuncu v Villa

    Same decision for me but with Saiss. Playing Saiss

    Hmm, not the one I'm thinking of but that's actually good info.

    I think it was like a red background. It showed like how many points left on bench total hits. Was the hit worth it etc.

    La Liga gone from closed door games to suspending their next two match weeks. The Premier League can only pretend everything is OK for so much longer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii


    Three Leicester "first team players" in isolation but Rodgers seems to want the weekend game to go ahead for some reason. This is the first time I've really thought we might not see the season out.

    Germany going behind closed doors but putting all games free to air


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii


    That's pretty sound. Guessing theres a big difference in how much TV companies have paid there though. Hard to imagine sky deciding eveyone can have it for free.

    Can't see the full gameweek been done to be honest too many players coming down with it. Be very surprised if Leicester's and city's matches went ahead of they have players isolating over but not the full squad.

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


    They’ll cancel everything till the international break I reckon. That’ll buy them time to see how it plays out and make a plan for the rest of the year.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    If they’re being forced into a quick decision then it’ll most likely be postponed until further notice.

    Then it’ll be up to UEFA to move the international competition to summer 2021.

    That’ll allow all the European leagues to resume, at some stage, and play out.

    Next season we’ll probably see no replays or semi final 2 legs in domestic cups. It’ll be 90 minutes and then penalties.

    Seems likely alright. I wouldn't be surprised if they just cancelled this week for now then waited to see what happens with todays Cobra meeting and see what UEFA decide on Tuesday. So much obviously depends on what happens with Euro 2020.
