BOF Posted February 11, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 11, 2021 It's pretty funny that there will be plenty of teams out there who own all of the currently high-owned doubts. Someone this morning is sitting looking at Antonio, Dias, Justin, DCL, Pope and maybe even Digne in their starting eleven And @KenjiOgiwara my good man. FFS Early transfers !!!

Think that's basically the guy 1 place behind me in my work league. But he also has Wilson as a doubt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted February 11, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) Wilson out to April now apparently. With Tottenham out of the FA cup they will surely be playing a match in GW29 won't they? Whether that will stay vs Southampton, if they go out to Wolves tonight, or be one of their rescheduled games vs Us or Fulham remains to be seen though. By the way, how is it that Spurs have only 1 game in hand but 2 postponed fixtures? For the sake of being able to field close to 11 players without many changes as it stands in GW29, I'll be hoping for Wolves to win tonight. Barnsley would help too so that Liverpool vs Chelsea can go ahead and Salah can play, but that seems highly unlikely.

Have they 2 postponed fixtures? They only have Villa as their game in hand. Now they may need to re-arrange somewhere else because of another club's restrictions, but as of now the only game from their schedule that they haven't fulfilled is their week 18 fixture away to us.

Premier League site has Spurs Vs Fulham TBC so I thought it was a cancelled game. Turns out that was the reverse fixture but they played it soon after the original date. That and the Man City vs Southampton games are just the ones not happening on League Cup final weekend it turns out. Still I think I would be right in saying that there is no chance of the PL not putting a Spurs fixture on the GW29 weekend now that they are out of the FA cup and have a game to catch up.

Rds1983 Posted February 11, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 11, 2021 Forget GW29 I'm still waiting to know all the doubles for GW26. I'm assuming we play a double but that isn't confirmed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted February 11, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 11, 2021 29 already looking pretty smelly for me. Down to 7 players, one of whom is Neco Williams. My wildcard has some heavy lifting to do. The 3 FTs in 27, 28 & 29 will also need to be very carefully selected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's at least 3 players for me,aybe 4 or 5 after I pick up Kane and/or Son. Both should also get DGW26 now too. With Ben Crellin suggesting Villa will be Leeds and SHU. Might be putting the TC on Jack or Oli instead of Kane if those fixtures are correct. Edited February 11, 2021 by Rds1983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 12, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 12, 2021 I think now that Spurs Villa will probably be in GW29 then I'll be fine to get through this period. Won't have a full XI with doubles in GW26 but I'll have enough. Should be able to hold the wildcard until GW30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad for him, sad for the guys 1st and 3rd in my work league who have him in, good for me as I don't. Also appears Digne is fit as Carlo didn't mention him (Digne also retweeted that he was a good pick for the DGW and either he's fit or that's epic trolling). DCL misses Fulham but back for City, to the bench he goes but can save a transfer. Dias apparently fit to play. Antonio close to playing and I suspect he will. My team suddenly looks a lot healthier again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted February 12, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 12, 2021 Highly recommend this podcast for navigating the next ~9 weeks with chips. When to use and depending on what you've got left. There's a lot more to take into account than what you might think on the face of it. I found it really interesting. James on top form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I stupidly used my two free transfers before the FA Cup injuries. Won’t be doing that again. Toyed with the idea of using my wildcard but decided against it, I’ve cobbled a team together but the bench is none existent. Dias is the only first team doubt, so hopefully he’s fit for the two games city play. Could do with a Leeds win and clean sheet against Arsenal though as I’ve got Dallas and Bamford starting.... actually scrap that, I’d rather finish bottom of FPL than see Leeds go above us in the table!

YouUnastanFren Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Completely missed the deadline. ****. Happens at least once a season and never really costs me too many points but it's especially annoying this week because I was considering WC next week and that would make the extra transfer useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Okay. Another round and another masterstroke. I dropped Maddison this week cause surely RS would beat Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilko154 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Pope and Salah so far bringing in 7 points each with 1 bonus. Going way too well so something will go horribly wrong soon. Dias not starting is a slight annoyance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
