The likelihood of Everton playing in GW31 means he's a definite advantage. Chelsea having a double gameweek would screw me. I haven't even considered a Chelsea player for a long time. There's noises of a Man City Triple Gameweek towards the end of the season now... Not using my TC on Mane is going to pay off handsomely it seems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted February 28, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted February 28, 2020 Well that was hectic. Got the no Vardy news 10 mins before the deadline so panic signed DCL in his place. I'm actually very happy. Gives me a chunk of cash to make some changes and prepare for GW31 now. Hopefully DCL keeps his form up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Dammit, should've just used my WC. I took a -8 with my transfers anyway. Kept Vardy in for this week and even made him captain ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted March 2, 2020 Author Moderator Share Posted March 2, 2020 22 should be the absolute least you ever do, given that your players get 2pts for just being on the **** pitch. This week I got 25. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 2, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) I ended up with 43 which is very decent given how low scoring it was. I sold Grealish for Fernandes and at the very last minute sold Vardy for Calvert Lewin. So the -4 was easily regained and those two, coupled with a clean sheet from Lascelles (finally!), basically saved my game week.

Stevo985 Posted March 3, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted March 3, 2020 Important week for FPL. By Thursday we'll understand how much of a massacre Gameweek 31 will be. It's entirely possible that there will only be 3 fixtures. More likely we'll get 5 or 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 3, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted March 3, 2020 Oh also lots of rumours Man City vs Arsenal could be squeezed in next week and count as a GW29 fixture. So an impromptu double gameweek for those two teams. Anyone with a handful of Man City and Arsenal players will be laughing. I'd be captaining Aubameyang if I owned him.

That Ben bloke is a cocky **** though I get that Ray is a slow starter... I suspect he's a slow finisher too. He's ahead of me now Podcast has faded away but I think we'll pick it up again next season. We didn't realise just HOW many podcasts are out there for FPL so need to think of something unique. Oh also, another thank you to @Wezbid, my FPL league based on his format has been a roaring success. We're already planning out end of season awards night. It's been a hit, and I've put my excel/analytics brain to good use 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Took a -8 hit to get Auba and Mahrez in. Would be worth it though. It would be just like Maddison to score against us or Vardy to get back in the groove after I sold him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be looking at that as a reason to justify your minus 8. Not that that would make you feel better when he scores against us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 4, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted March 4, 2020 I'd absolutely love to get Auba in myself but there's no way I can do it unless I take a -8, and even then I'd be sacrificing KDB or Salah most likely which I'm not sure I'd be willing to do.

Stevo985 Posted March 5, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted March 5, 2020 Spurs losing last night has really **** up my plans. it means the Norwich vs Everton game on GW31 won't happen (whereas I was expecting the Spurs vs West Ham game to be the blank) Two of the players I had planned to play that week now won't be playing. I need to reshuffle. Will probably cost me a -4 to ensure I have 9 players playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted March 5, 2020 Author Moderator Share Posted March 5, 2020 I've ignored the DGW29 & the BGW31 with this week's solitary transfer. I could have brought Auba & KDB in, but both blank in 31 and I've superb fixtures this week meaning long term they wouldn't have benefitted me and TBQH short term they may not either. KDB may have a shoulder problem (or it could be mind games) and Auba to score v City is debatable. I've currently got 7 to play in 31 and I'll be bringing Pope in over the next 2 weeks plus a minus 4 so I should have at least 8 or 9. I won't be over-planning for such a shit week though because there's much more joy to be had in the weeks afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
