Rds1983 Posted January 15, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 15, 2021 I've got 11 players with DGW but 2 of those are GK, tempted by a - 8 to bring more in and play the BB but money just doesn't go far enough. Also, not sure I want to then buy Bamford back in for about £0.4 more than I'll sell him for and there's no attractive option at that price with a DGW (love Watkins but he rarely scores, Antonio is made of glass, Wilson has dried up). Has anyone looked at details of any future DGWs yet and seen if there is a decent alternative for the BB yet? I figure rate games are being postponed one might crop up.

GW29 is the corresponding blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a -8 just to have subs you'll use for 1 gameweek and losing 0.4m on someone you'll want back. That sounds like a classic case of forcing the issue and over-focussing on one gameweek to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a classic case of forcing the issue and over-focussing on one gameweek to me. Is what I'm thinking and will very likely not do it. Just feels like a massive waste of the last X game weeks where I purposefully transferred in to build a full squad for this week, just for postponements to mess that up. Twisted myself in knots over thinking this so appreciate 2nd opinion confirming it's a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 15, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted January 15, 2021 I’m taking a -8 but it’s for players I want to keep long term. Ive decided I am bench boosting. I know the other DGW is coming but I think I’ll load my bench with BGW29 players that week to make sure I’m set up for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted January 15, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 15, 2021 I'm now leaning towards using my TC to get over the frustration of not using BB and the hopefully not lose to much pace on the ppl that do use their BB. Just need to know if @Stevo985 is captaining KDB or Fernandes first? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 15, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 15, 2021 I'm in the slightly weird position of having £4.8m in the bank and not a completely clear way of spending it. It's not a whole lot of money. In reality it's an upgrade to one position in the team. Maybe and Kane or a Vardy up top. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame you can't loan it to me as I could definitely use it! 5 minutes ago, Stevo985 said: I won’t be captaining Bruno. It will probably be KDB or Salah Well I've got all 3. Thinking of dropping Salah as he's off the boil. KDB is very tempting and playing Villa so some joy if he destroys us. Bruno seems to have a higher points max though and I can see him getting a penalty against Liverpool and hopefully doing well against Fulham. I'm leaning towards Bruno but happy for a different point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing to consider is that Bruno is on 4 yellows and Liverpool like to spring traps that often require professional fouls to stop. It's a very real possibility he gets a 5th yellow in that game and misses the Fulham one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like Bruno gets away with stuff most games so think he'll be alright. He'll also have this in his mind so doubt he'll risk it to much and that Ole will have a word to go easy. Of course I've now jinxed it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that he gets away with murder at times and if it was any other game than a top of the table clash I'd agree that he'd take it easy. He's a winner though and if he needs to make a foul in that game he will do I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno is a risk with the yellow and playing Liverpool, but I just have a feeling he'll edge KDB. I'm 60/40 on it though and could easily change by the deadline.
