Got rid of Son and Kane and I am bricking it.

How Soon Is Now · 16-01-2021 11:14am

Martinez

Robertson, Stones, Coufal

Salah, KDB, Fernandes, Soucek

Antonio, Bamford, Vardy

McCarthy, Dallas, Mitchell, Burke

Very very tempted to captain Vardy as I'm 70 points behind first in my work league and 30 ahead of 3rd!

Fitz* · 16-01-2021 11:15am

Martinez
Coufal Stones Lowton
Saka Son Soucek KDB Sterling (TC)
Kane Lacazette

McCarthy Watkins Taylor Lamptey

A late change to move away from the BB that I had worked to and instead TC. The injuries and doubts over Villa players playing said the -8 was not worth the BB.

Sterling owes me returns big time.

If the leader of my league this year is anything to go by, they'll outscored everyone.

Mr.Prodston · 16-01-2021 11:18am

Johnstone
Coufal - C Dawson - Justin - Lowton
Grealish - Bruno - Salah - Soucek - KdB (c)
Werner

McCarthy: Bamford - Dallas - Adams

-8

No chips active! Stupid Shrewsbury...

Of course owning Craig Dawson is the most exciting of all my players... even when I'm trying to be sensible sometimes bad things happen. Selling BOTH Son and Kane is terrifying too

DGWs really bring out the worst in me :pac:

I got rid of Bruno in my WC and haven't looked back since.

(only wildcarded this week)

Praying for a yellow tomorrow.

I would. Ultimately the bench boost only really relates to your bench, and considering you’re starting the Villa lads and James, they’d only come into the equation as a negative to your bench boost here if they didn’t play any minutes at all, as they’d mean one of your bench players was no longer a bench player.

Johnstone, Bamford, Dallas and Anguissa has plenty of potential to get you the kind of points tally you’d need to make a bench boost worthwhile, you’re looking for around 20 really.

Thanks, yeah, happy enough that bench has potential to score, I’d be disappointed if they didn’t manage 15pts, and it might be as strong a bench as I have for the rest of the season. Hopefully the Villa lads and James all see plenty game time.
BB activated.

COH · 16-01-2021 11:30am

-8

Mendy
Coufal - Chilwell - Justin
Salah - KDB (TC) - Soucek - Bruno
Antonio - Kane - Bamford

(Steer - Dallas - Taylor - Anguissa)

Original plan was to have 13 DGWers + Son/Kane to BB. Then I missed a free transfer a few weeks back so no playing bench keeper, then Charlie waste-of-space Taylor got injured about 3 seconds after I transferred him in, then the Leeds/Soton game got cancelled, then DCL got injured!

So ended up taking a -8 for Son/JWP/DCL > KDB/Soucek/Antonio anf have lumped the TC on KDB to keep pace with the lads in my ML and offset the hits. Best of luck all... whats a melt this season has turned out to be so far.

NabyLadistheman · 16-01-2021 11:33am

-8 & Bench boost in play 12 DGW players. Heres to a big week.

Martinez

Dias - Justin - Chilwell

KDB (C) - Salah - Bruno - Son - Soucek

--- Bamford -- Antonio

Johnstone - Stones - Coufal - Brewster

PARlance · 16-01-2021 11:33am

Martinez
Cancelo, Stones, (C)resswell
KDB, Salah, Rashford, Grealish, Soucek
Cavani, Antonio

11 DGW'ers

Time to make up a bit of ground in my money league, or to completely blow myself out of contention.

mailburner · 16-01-2021 11:38am

almost went without bruno but he's scored big too often lately, even comtemplated going with kdb+sterling
I do think city might get a cleanie possibly two

fancy antonio but he's not been getting much game time

Almost went with rashford and el ghazi instead of ogbonna and bruno

Playing bench boost as planned:

Martinez, Johnstone
Robertson, Chilwell, Stones, Targett, Dallas
Salah, Son, Soucek, Fernandes, Oriol Romeu
Vardy(c), Wilson, Bamford

Good luck!

-4 this week to bring in Salah and Antonio in for Zaha and Kane

8 doubles with Holding, Son and Bamford more than acceptable single gameweek players for me, all against poor teams.

Martinez
Dias Stones Holding
Salah (c) KDB Grealish Son Bruno
Bamford Antonio

Steer, Dier, Dallas, Brewster

Kind of expecting red arrows this week, but if they're only small ones and I can stay in say top 150k (I'm currently 90k but lots of people planned specifically for this week and I did not), and I'm coming out of these weeks with my Wildcard, FH, Bench Boost and TC still intact, I will be optimistic for the season ahead.

Lundstram · 16-01-2021 11:51am

Martinez
Coufal Stones Robertson
Rashford Salah(c) Bruno Soucek Son
Wilson Bamford

Dallas Konsa DCL

No hits, not even a transfer.

Not going to do the BB, too much uncertainty. Something tells me I shouldn't bench Dallas. Toss up with him and Bamford.

After a very underwhelming FH, bracing myself for another disappointment with a risky BB and -8 hit:

Martínez, Button
Cancelo, Coufal, Chilwell, Lowton, Bednarek
Salah (c), Bruno, Son, Grealish, Soucek
Kane, Bamford, Antonio

Have you any funds to do Button to Johnstone? Just seems a waste BB without a 2nd playing goalkeeper.

OK, here goes... BB active.

GK: Meslier, Fabianski

DEF: Justin, Cancelo, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Dias

MID: Harrison, Henderson, Salah (VC), De Bruyne (C), Fernandes

FWD: Bamford, Adams, Cavani

11 players scheduled for a DGW, so 26 player-games. Was preparing for a full DGW squad (WC in GW17) but Covid messed with the team... took -8 hit to patch up the team.

Hoping for 100+ this week if fixtures and players don't change too much, going to be a long nervous GW!

dsmythy · 16-01-2021 11:59am

Like many my BB was scuppered. Heard a lot of talk about being flexible with your strategy this season so I'll listen and not play it. I'm not in the camp who absolutely must use it in a DGW so I'll wait for that bench opportunity.

Just did Lamptey to Cancelo after he had a trial on my FH team. He's my VC

Martinez
Robertson Cancelo Coufal
Salah(c) Bruno Grealish Mount
Vardy Watkins Bamford

Peacock-F Klich KWP Taylor

I think Taylor will not be able to take advantage of the double. Might end up only playing Liverpool.

Bruno to KdB for me.
And DCL to Abraham.

CSF · 16-01-2021 12:00pm

So, who is gonna be the first popular DGW choice to get themselves injured or suspended in the first game and ruin the second on us?

Antonio being in the Saturday 3PM game and made of cheese probably puts him top of that list

howareyakid · 16-01-2021 12:04pm

McCarthy
Ogbonna Cancelo Tierney (Dallas, KWP)
Salah (c) KDB Maddison Grealish (Anguissa)
Kane Antonio Bamford

-4. No chips played. Not feeling overly confident but hoping for the best.

shmeee · 16-01-2021 12:06pm

And I havnt even anyone in the early game to get the day going! Have to wait until 2pm to start giving out when Fab isn't fit to start.

Iused2likebusts · 16-01-2021 12:08pm

I did kane and son to antonio and salah for -4.
martinez
coufal cancelo dias AWB
salah soucek bruno kdb
antonio watkins

Bench boosting with areola tierney saka wood. Id be happy with 15 pts from BB and will be glad to be rid of it so for the 2nd half of the season I wont need to worry about having 15 players.

Scorpion Sting · 16-01-2021 12:10pm

-4

Martinez
Coufal Dias Robbo
Salah ESR KDB (TC) Fernandes Grealish
Bamford Antonio

Forster - Dallas KWP Brewster

Cypher_sounds · 16-01-2021 12:10pm

Martinez
Dallas Stones Coufal
Bruno Grealish Foden Salah(tc) Soucek
Vardy Kane

Took a -4 to bring Foden and Vardy in for Son and DCL. Continuing with a Spurs double up didn’t feel right with how they are playing lately.

Triple captain spent on Salah for the craic. It can’t turn out as bad as last seasons abomination that was Manes 5 minutes in a dgw.

Best of luck all. Let’s go!

Father Hernandez · 16-01-2021 12:19pm

Martinez (Button)

Coufal, Stones, Holding (Struijk, KWP)

Grealish, Fernandes, Salah (VC), KDB (C), Soucek

Bamford, Kane (Brewster)

-4 played, no other hits/chips.

8 DGWers all going well.

GL all.

Definitely start Kane. Even if you ignore the fact that Kane’s fixture is way better than Lookman’s fixtures. Kane needs approximately half as many minutes per point as Lookman.

That was pretty much my thinking too I mean ite Kane he's surely twice as good! Actually have no idea how I left it so have the additional fun of finding that out lol!

First time I have had Antonio in ages so would be typical if it happened early! I don't have kdb but in fairness to everyone here let's just hope all the key players get through OK.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 16-01-2021 12:32pm

So I f**keep up. Used FH last week due to poor planning and this week I'm using WC... which is fine this week but the absolute state of my team after this DGW is gonna take some serious time to sort. I'm hoping this week will be massive to limit the damage I'm going to do in the following 4-5 weeks.

Mr.Prodston · 16-01-2021 12:32pm

No Johnstone!

What the actual f*ck???

Sam Allardyce can get in the bin!

That's a small victory for me over the BB-er's.

He's included in so many BB teams.

First shock of the GW and only 11.33am on the first GW day.
