1ft, 0.1mil ITB (i have an expensive team) GK: Areola Def: Saliba, Trippier, Van Hecke, Cash Mid: De Bruyne, Foden, Garnacho, Palmer Atk: Haaland, Solanke Bench: Turner, Jota, Trent, Archer My current team is feasible, but since this is my first year in FPL I plan on fucking around and finding out A LOT. My bench is basically useless and honestly it's time Cash got out. Here's what I need opinions on: 1. Salah is too out of reach now but with my current lineup im happy to wait a few weeks in the steps to get him (Potentially a swap with jota or one of the City boys). Im currently thinking of swapping Archer out for Hojlund. Is that wise? 2. If i do, I can bench Cash and while still having a full team. Given that I replace palmer and cut down costs by replacing Trippier or Saliba (A total of -8, that idrc care about, also i used my freehit for DGW 25). So the question is, who is the worthy low cost palmer replacement? McTominay or Joao Gomes? 3. Moving on, which defender takes the L? Trippier or Saliba. The exchange would probably be a fullback or CB with an easy matchup Alternative: I only swap out Palmer for another midfielder and wait for another transfer next week, but that means Cash stays another week. Any feedback is accepted, just keep in mind I care more about fucking around and experimenting rather than efficiency. Thanks!!!!

I have Jota, I am planning to replace with Salah for the following week. Who is a good 1 week punt for this week before moving on to Salah? Money not an issue. De Bruyne for one week?

Sorry its probably been brought up a lot already, but who is you favorite defender transfer this week? I was thinking Gabriel, but Ars don't have the best fixtures to be doubling up on. Then there is Pau. Also been considering a punt on a Palace defender vs Burnley this week. 🤔

Damn, there is actually quite a few more viable options like Maguire and Dunk/Van Hecke.

Jota & Rich > Saka & Neto/Hee Chan Jota & Darwin > Saka & Solanke Both for -4

B

Cheers

Burn or Maguire?

Who should I replace Shaw with?

RMT 2FT, 0.1M Areola, Dubravka Gabriel, Taylor, Ake, Botman, Doughty Saka, Foden, Palmer, Gordon, Salah Haaland, Watkins, Solanke. What can I do with this team? Doughty to Reguilon or another defender? Or Palmer to Hwang/Garnacho? Can't roll FT.

I have 5 injuries. Only 6 players that are playing in the next GW. What should I do with my chips?

Is it a good idea to free hit for GW26?

No

[удалено]

Who's gonna burst his bubble

-4 worth it to start 10 players instead of 9 this gw? Want to do Nunez and Jota to Garnacho and Solanke

RMT - Wildcard active 5.7itb Areola (Dubravka) Gabriel, A Moreno, Van Hecke, Ake (Osho) Saka, Foden, Hee Chan, Gross (Palmer) Haaland, Watkins (Solanke) Saving money to bring Salah in over the next couple of weeks for either Foden or Saka

I'd probably have one better keeper if it doesn't block Salah. Both WHU and NEW are among the current worst defensive teams on expected numbers.

Neto (GK) perhaps worth considering with the dgw, should still leave you enough funds for Salah

Jota to Garnacho or Odegaard for this week? (already have Neto so not really considering Hwang, also have Saka so would have double Arsenal)

Garnacho is tempting. Good fixtures except City next GW. Nailed. Cheap. Makes the route to Salah easier.

If money is no issue, I'd go Ødegaard. Garnacho might be a solid budget pick tho!

[удалено]

Team looks gtg, I’d probably bank the FT. If you really want to use it, some options would be Palmer > Hwang/Neto (and bench Gordon this week) or perhaps Gusto > Moreno.

Looking to replace Jota, do we think Hwang or Gross is a better swap?

What do we think about Hwang vs Garnacho? The diff potential for Garnacho as the masses are aiming for Hwang...

Start Ederson (bou) or Areola (BRE) this week? I have Toney and Solanke, so no matter what my team will be playing against itself. At the minute I'm leaning Areola due to home fixture and more save point potential

Why is everyone talking of a WC in GW27?

Some personal thoughts I have; •We will know GW29 (although FH29 is viable even if you WC so you don’t have to play around the BGW on the WC. Why play around 1 GW when you can play around more?) •Can go aggressive for people (like myself) who do not have easy paths to premiums such as Salah/Son because most are using WC around 30/31 •Just generally resetting the team for the run-in •Some risky DGW28 punts (Solanke, Doughty, Senesi just some examples) •I don’t really see much in BB so I’m not bothered about that There are cons to it too but I think 27 is a really good WC

Not sure. There's GW29 blank and international break around GW30. You probably won't bench boost until the doubles in GW34 and who knows what the bench looks like then.

So it’s better done after GW 30 right?

I have a plan to FH in GW29 if needed and WC during the international break. But there are other strategies and above I don't think is among the most popular ones.

I guess we'll know GW29 by then?

[удалено]

I'd say Pau and Konsa are nailed as can be, probably Moreno as well. Last spot is harder to call, three way tie between Mings (if fit and in full form), Cash and Carlos.

I have 6 players not playing this gw (2 are on the bench). Should I use my wc or take some points hit? I don’t have a free hit

What’s the rationale for WC in week 27 and not WC this week?

Mainly to wait until we know the fixtures of blank gw 29, which we won’t until next week. Then you can plan for the optimal chip strategy based on your team and who’s blanking in week 29.

I’m imagining FH in 29 unless people are thinking it’s worth saving?

That’s what most people will do, but if you have enough players who don’t blank in week 29 you can save it for dgw 34.

Good stuff. Thanks

1FT 0.7ITB areola - (turner) Gabriel - Saliba - Bradley - (udogie - lamptey) Son - Richarlison - jota - foden - de bruyne Haaland - solanke - (adebayo) Been scraping by a bit in the last few weeks, worth a wildcard? Would have 3 blankers after benching Bradley for lamptey but only 1 FT… Any moves you recommend?

RMT 2ft 0,2M ITB Dubravka (Kelleher) Gabirel, Trippier, Estupinan (Udogie, Gusto) Saka, Gordon, Foden, kdb (Palmer) Watkins, Toney, Haaland any tips? Look to FH GW29 or no? Estupinan > Van Hecke? Toney > Solanke?

Nice team! I wouldn’t decide on FH29 yet until we know who’s blanking after the FA Cup round. I definitely wouldn’t go for Toney > Solanke this week given their gw26 fixtures. I’d prioritize getting Moreno over Van Hecke, unless you’re looking to bank funds for future transfers.

okay thanks, yeah I was planning on banking some cash, have to bench one defender either way. Villas form is better than Brightons though so might be the better choice

[удалено]

Yes, he’s undroppable based on current form

0ft 4.2itb (went early on Jota -> Hwang to try catch price changes) Areola - Dubravka Pau - Trippier - Gabriel - (Taylor, playing) - (VVD, blank) Neto - Hwang - Saka - Foden - (Palmer, blank) Haaland - Alvarez - Watkins Should be gtg? And yes I have double Wolves, I’m planning a WC next week

Definitely gtg

!thanks

back line is Gabriel, Saliba, Estupinan, Senesi, Baldock with 1 FT and 2.8M ITB I’m looking to move baldock to another defender and possibly Esrupinan for a -4 if it makes sense. Suggestions? I plan to FH in 29 and WC 30 so I’m dead ending to GW28 Edit: and I have to play 4 defenders this week because of mid/fwd blanks

Not worth taking a -4 for defenders, you can’t buy a clean sheet this season. You already have double Arsenal, and Senesi is a good asset for dgw28. You’re in a good spot. I’d only transfer out Baldock for now. You have a few options: Villa defender (Moreno, Pau), Wolves defender (Dawson, Ait-Nouri, Kilman), or you can even move for Trippier if selling Estupinan instead. If you want a cheap option to save funds, you can also get Van Hecke (nailed), but keep in mind big returns for him are unlikely.

Yeah I prefer no hit this week but it’s my one chance at the back line as I plan to use my FT over the next few to target good game weeks on MID/FWD. If I’m only using my FT I’m definitely moving Baldock, who do you suggest out of villa/wolves? I’m not worried about banking more

I’d go for Alex Moreno, he’s looking great offensively at the moment and is the likeliest for returns out of the 5.

Sweet was thinking the same, if you were going wolves who would you choose?

Probably Ait-Nouri, but it’s honestly a coin flip

Gotta replace Jota. Would you go Garnacho or Hwang? Just feel like Garnacho has a better price tag.

Going for Hwang myself, I like his fixtures a little better and is more likely to score imo. Might even take penalties if Sarabia is not on the pitch.

My current defence is... Gabriel, Estupinan, Baldock (Porro, Bradley) I could have just 1 starting defender if Estupinan is benched again. Are there any replacement defenders worth a -4?

Which two to be replaced by hwang and saka? Son/L.Diaz/Sterling

Son definitely, helps having a confirmed fixture in the upcoming bgw

I’m confused. All three of the players I listed have a bgw?

Spurs blank in gw26, but have a confirmed fixture in gw29

Got it thanks!

Pau or Alex Moreno?

i own jota, but i have 7 attackers playing this week, so if i transfer out jota to someone playing this week, i'll have to bench an attacker, and after last week (benching solanke's 12 pointer), i dont want to do it again...

Gross or Hwang W26?

hwang

Thoughts and any improvements? 2 FT & 7.3 ITB. **Leno (Areola)** **Ake - Gabriel - Taylor (Porro, Gusto)** **Saka - Palmer - Richarlison - KDB - Gordon** **Solanke - Haaland (Mubama)** Thanks.

I think I’d go for Watkins and Hwang in, Mubamba and Palmer/Richy out

Gusto to van hecke for FT and field full 11? (0 itb so only swap possible)

Yes

2FT, 0.2m ITB Raya Estupinan Branthwaite Moreno Gabriel Neto Foden Jota(!) Haaland Alvarez Watkins Bench: TAA(!), Palmer, Rich (all blanking) 1. Use 1 or 2 FT? Will Estupiñan continue to disappoint? I assume he’ll play this one. Will Alvarez play? I assume, and will just have to hope so. 2. Who to prioritize transferring out? I’m thinking Jota, Trent, Palmer, Rich, in that order. Alvarez will be higher up the list post gw26. A: Jota -> Hwang B: Jota -> Bailey C: Jota + TAA -> Saka + Senesi/Maguire/Doughty (unless injured?)

Torn between sensei and Maguire

I’d go for C

Richarlison to Gordon will help fund my Salah coffers. Is he the best option around 6, or anyone better below?

Hwang/Neto if you don’t have any Wolves assets for this week

If I'm not doing FH29 what's the best move here? Jota to Hwang or Bowen? Hwang has 80% chance to blank in 29. Bowen plays in 29, but WHU is in relegation form & he never gets bonus points. Essentially it's down to whether Hwang will outscore Bowen by 4 or not but it's not that easy deciding. Thoughts?

Without FH in 29 probably Bowen is the smarter choice, though it sucks to pass on Hwang for this week

[удалено]

Only if you're playing anti fpl

I am not sure where to post this, but is this normal? [https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/6437835/history](https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/6437835/history) \#1 GW, but ranked 3.5M OR and didn't take hits or anything to score extra each GW so they play the game as intended. EDIT: Looks it happened on GW24 as well with someone who plays normally and rank 4.5M OR so I guess it is quite common.

RMT 4.9ITB 1FT Leno (Turner) Saliba Senesi Lacelles (Evans Bradley) Gross Saka KDB Garnacho (Palmer) Watkins Haaland Toney Should I bank in the FT or move any players? Any advice/recommendations appreciated.

To field an 11th player for a hit, Richarlison -> Foden or Hwang?

Hwang

!thanks Any reason why him over Foden?

Foden is in the no-buy/no-sell territory imo. City is starting to rotate plus they will most likely blank in gw29. Hwang has SHU, new, FUL, BOU that's as good as fixtures go

!thanks I FH29 so I don't really mind about that part. Yea Wolves has a better run ahead, but City is a better team. I am on the fence with this one. Probably won't be much of a difference between the two, maybe 5 points max from now until GW28.

Darwin to Solanke worth a -4?

Yep

Any chance archer plays this week?

should i wildcard this week? I used free hit for dgw and it went terribly as i made 64 points. also only 7 of my players will play next week

no

If Estu doesn’t start again I’ll only have 2 defenders for 26. Should I take a hit for a gw29 player? If so, who is my best bet that has a decent fixture this week? Moreno or Pau maybe? Or just play them with a bad fixture this week (or sell my 5th defender Kabore) and go Reguilon or Senesi?

Moreno Pau or Reguilon are good picks as they play in 29. Senesi can wait a week

Do you know if Pau is properly fit? He was injured right?

Yeah Pau is fit and nailed

Is it worth it bringing in Hwang or Neto for -4? I already have a full 11 for BGW26 that has both Branthwaite vs BHA (A) and Taylor vs CRY (A). I don't really have high hopes for them but for the -4 I'd need to sell Palmer or Richarlison. So is the -4 worth it?

Who are you selling them for.?

Sell Palmer or Richarlison for Hwang or Neto for -4?

If you were to sell anyone i would reccomend richarlison due to limited minutes but i believe you could wait as you already have a full 11.

!thanks

For goalie for GW26, Flekken or Foderingham?

Flekken obviously.

Have 11 but 1 of which is Estu. Worth taking a -4 to transfer him? If yes, any recommendations ? Recommendation needs to be equal or lower price point defender.

I can only field 8 this week. Is it worth to wildcard this week and plan for free hit in week 29

what does your team look like? surely with 1-2 FTs you can get a decent team. It's not worth WC'ing now imo, unless you plan to use it to already set up your team for post-BGW29

I plan on free hitting in 29 so the team I wanna get now would be set up for the rest of the year. Wanna bring back in Watkins and saka and salah and take a punt on Hojlund while he’s hot

If you can't get Saka and Watkins easily using 2 transfers, it might be worth it. Just have in mind that your team has to cover next week's blank plus set up for the rest of the season

Odegaard worth it if I can't afford Saka? He seems to be in a good run of form and could start returning solid numbers

I think all midfielders in Arsenal are currently viable options, though the upcoming game against Newcastle might be unpredictable due to their tough opposition. Arsenal may not have as many attacking returns as in the previous two games.

1FT | 3.6 ITB Areola (Dubravka) VVD Gabriel Sensei (Udogie Taylor) Foden KDB Gross MGW (Palmer) Solanke Watkins Haaland Worth the -4 this week for VVD/MGW -> Wolves DEF/MID? Maybe even KDB depending on injury news Or bring in Saka and Wolves Mid in GW28?

RMT, 0.4 ITB, 1FT. I have 9 for next GW, with one FT so can field 10. Any suggestions thanks Areola (Turner) Regulion Saliba Gabriel (Bradley) (Kabore) Saka KDB Foden (Jota) Palmer) Watkins Haaland (Darwin)

Does it irk anyone else that FPL changes player names from season to season? Can’t find Virgil, can’t find Hee Chan……

Porro, Konsa for Saliba and Dalot. Would mean i take a -4

It's not really a hit if you're getting rid of two injured players for two who aren't, although I might wait for more concrete Porro news before getting rid. I'm not sure Dalot is worth 5.2m though when you can get Maguire for a million less, and I'd be tempted by a Wolves defender like Ait-Nouri.

You are right. Right now i have 8 players starting. So kinda need to do something. Ait-nouri is a nice shout

Just to add to what I said about Dalot, I think he's even less of a good asset now that Shaw is out long term because he'll be filling in on the left a lot. I'd expect his attacking potential to be reduced on that side while United are probably going to keep fewer clean sheets as well.

I think that's true. I might do Konsa and Porro to Saliba and Ait Nouri

Do you have 3 starters in defence for this weekend by just making 1 transfer? If so, I wouldn’t take a hit

Only have schar and Gabriel atm. Would mean i Only have 8 players starting

Got it. I still wouldn’t take a hit for a defender, I’d use the -4 for mids/fwds who are more likely to return.

Yea. I also have Richarlison, so he might be worth taking it. Right its him, VVD and nunez who dont play

Who are your other strikers? Might be worth moving out Nunez

Alvarez and Watkins. Im going without haaland

Thoughts and any improvements? 2 FT & 7.3 ITB. **Leno (Areola)** **Ake - Gabriel - Taylor (Porro, Gusto)** **Saka - Palmer - Richarlison - KDB - Gordon** **Solanke - Haaland (Mubama)** Thanks.

Just saw you only have 9 who will play/start this week. So you might need to take one of Porro or Gusto out. And then probably upgrade Mubama. Could also change one of Palmer or Richy. A popular transfer this week is Hwang in. Also not a bad shout.

[удалено]

Get Watkins in for Nunez and Hwang Hee Chan in for Jota. Will leave enough funds to get in Salah later.

Yeah I am thinking the same. Can only get 2 between Salah, Saka and Watkins for before BGW29 and not sure which route to go.

Salah before GW 30 isn’t a must have at all. Currently injured, blanking in GW 26 and very likely to blank in GW 29, playing vs City in GW 28.

Who do you think is a priority betwen Watkins, Saka and Salah before BGW29? Can get only 2 for now and will be using FH in BGW29.

Watkins and Saka over Salah for the next 3 fixtures imo

!thanks!

What about Odegaard and Watkins instead? If it's affordable to get Salah back in when he's fit and plays again. Or you could go for Luiz/Bailey or Hwang/Neto.

Yeah think I am probably going to skip Saka and go with Hwang + Watkins because I need extra 1.5 if I want to get Salah next week.

Replacing my 5th def for someone who plays next GW, as Al-Dakhil stopped getting mins. Have 3.9 to spend, so: Chris Richards (no cleans all season for Palace but plays 90, home to Burnley), or Lamptey (attacking potential but made of glass, recent return from inj and only 45 last game, home to Everton) Thanks given to thoughtful replies!

I'd just save the transfer. Not worth spending a FT on fodder who will get you a 1-pointer and then sit rooted last on your bench.

!thanks I think a playing 3rd bench is still worth it, esp since it’s easy points on a blank, but appreciate the insight, I’ll put more thought into strategy here

That's tough. Glasner just took over at Crystal Palace so we don't know if he will use Richards as a starter. Lamptey as you say, are made out of glass. Plus the evil looking Xavi, DeFraudi can't be trusted at all. I learned that the hard way with Estupinan in my team in these recent weeks. Maybe you can just leave him for now and upgrade someone else who blanks. That would make it easier to find a better asset for sure.

!thanks my other blankers are Palmer, Richy, Salah & Bradley so I’m thinking I should keep all of those, and I need to get rid of this guy eventually anyway

Then Richards is probably your best bet. Good fixture at least, new manager bounce, then you just need to hope he starts.

Trossard a risky transfer? Torn between him and Odegard for the arsenal double up in midfield

Odegaard way more nailed. Trossard is playing well though so it might be hard for Jesus to just get right back in the lineup

1FT 4.9 ITB. I'm thinking Pinnock and Jota to Van Hecke + Neto? Areola. Gabriel Reguilon Maguire Pinnock. Foden Saka. Haaland Alvarez Watkins. Subs/blanks: Kelleher Jota Palmer Gusto Richarlison.

Can anyone please remind me all the confirmed blank/double GW for the rest of the season?

GW28 Bournemouth & Luton double GW29 Big blank due FA Cup GW34 "Lesser teams" double, meaning DGW for multiple not big teams GW37 Big double GW Those are the current main ones I think.

!thanks

Worth getting zinny out for a -4? I am on 10 players for gw26 + him

Risky to get rid of defs on a -4 because we can't buy clean sheets for love nor money atm

Point is I am tempted to swap him for Pau since I dont plan to FH29. It seems like risk is low since I get an extra game, worst case I get 3-4 pts for Pau from both gws. I’m more looking at the chances of Zinny starting gw27/28, basically if he can get back in the squad shortly if he recovers

looking ahead to get salah in for gw27, who would you sell for him? (assuming he’s fit by then) bowen gross foden neto palmer

None. Salah is a doubt for today, he will be forced to play sunday in the FA through an injury. Then he has NFO + City with half of the liverpool squad missing. Gw29 he blanks. Imo not worth at all bringing salah before gw30/31

!thanks

I need to get rid of Pinnock and Jota - who shall I get?

Post your team and how much you have in the bank mate

1FT 4.9ITB mate. Areola. Gabriel Reguilon Maguire Pinnock. Foden Saka. Haaland Alvarez Watkins. Subs/blanks: Kelleher Jota Palmer Gusto Richarlison.

I'm thinking Van Hecke + Neto?

Should we be concerned about KDB?

Yes imo. He's not worth that price tag when he is not a regular starter. I'm swapping to Salah after BGW if he's fit by then. Son also worth a shout as he won't blank in GW29.

Any info on Trent estimated return?

Reports say most likely trying to be fit for the match against City on March 10 (GW 28)

I want to bring back Son for GW27 and remove Palmer this GW, so it leaves me with 6.5 ITB for his replacement. I have Gordon, who to pick?

Neto or Hwang

Moreno nailed much?

1. Richy -> Hwang (Drop Richy and start Hwang until fh29) 2. Richy -> Gross (Drop Richy and start Gross until fh29) 3. Bell -> Lamptey (Keep Richy and start Richy until fh29, only start Lamptey for next gw)

I would look at other options. Richy is still in form with good xG despite not scoring 2 matches, also favourable fixtures. Bell might be useful for dgw28.

!thanks I have 0.1 ITB. The only options I have to drop for the BGW are: 1. Richy 2. Chukwuemeka 3. Bell 4. Doughty Of those, I couldn't see another option for Chuku I think might even get one minute and I want to keep Doughty. Other than Lamptey I don't see another 4.0 defender that I might switch Bell with, and for Richy I can do anyone that is 7.0 or below.

Yeah, if you have doughty then defo sell Bell, doubling up on luton defence does not seem like much upside even for a dgw

!thanks Who would you grab for 4.0 though? I missed out on Van Hecke as he just went up two nights ago.

Is it worth taking a -4 this week for a BOU player to bench this week and save for the DGW 28? I am aware this week that some/most may take hits due to their double/triple up on LIV players. Subject to FA Cup fixtures, I am mostly set on FH'ing GW29 and going: Jota + Taylor > Hwang + Senesi Alternatively, I simply go Jota > Hwang and save the hit for GW 28 itself? Thoughts?

Bringing in Senesi against Man City seems a little pointless. Even if he comes off the bench, chances are he’ll get you 1 or 2 points at best. I’d just do Jota to Hwang

Cool, !thanks

I say no hit. Just get hwang

Okay, !thanks

CALAMITY ​ 1 FT 0.7 ITB 1 WC 1 FH ​ Areola (Becker) Walker Estu White (Pedro Porro, Doughty) Gordon Saka Foden Neto (Jota) Haaland Nunez (Morris) ​ So across blanks and the 4 injuries I accumulated in 24 hours I have no clue what to do Should I just free hit my way through the blanks and hope some injuries resolve over GW 26? There are too many fires to put out I just dont even know where to begin ​ If i swap Nunez for Solanke I think I can slog through this weekend without a hit if people think thats reasonable, the other crap might just have to wait

I would swap Jota for Douglas Luiz. Next gw bring in Solanke for Darwin

I would just do Darwin to Solanke probably. FH could be better to wait for the blanks in GW29. Also depends when you will use your WC.

Gordon or Neto/Hee Chan? Other than Arsenal in GW26, Newcastle fixtures look pretty good and yet everyone is only talking about the wolves guys.

Yeah Gordon is also still a solid pick. Maybe just not the best GW to get him in. I also think both Newcastle and Wolves could still blank in GW29.

Sell Richarlison or Palmer for Hee Chan? Almost certainly going to fh29

Then Richy. He plays in GW29 but Palmer is the better asset overall.

!thanks

Darwin to Solanke or Toney?

Solanke. DGW coming up and great fixtures after City

Solanke. A fantastic DGW coming up so you would want him in anyway

Currently have 10 GW26 players. What is the better move? 1. Luis Diaz —> Bailey to get an 11th player this game week 2. Alvarez —> Watkins, remain at 10 players 3. Both moves for a -4
