BOF Posted May 6, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 6, 2021 I don't think it makes you a dick tbh. I'm a Fernandes owner but it's pretty obvious that needing your opposition to do badly is kinda required in order for you to progress. On that note it's looking increasingly likely that I'll be rolling this week. There are too many medium term problems related to making the short term moves I would like to make.

Shaw and Greenwood both rose last night for example (I think) But if anyone hasn't made their transfers already, they should definitely be waiting until after that Utd game tonight now Bruno getting injured half an hour into the first game of the TGW would be a very FPL thing to happen.

Not so much needing opposition to do badly, obviously I do, but it's more due to the hyperbole I've seen on Twitter about the triple and Bruno smashing it. I've toyed with the idea of bringing more Utd players in but can't find something I'm happy with, even doing a - 8, so think I'll just do Coady to Digne (would love Robertson but have to shift Jota and either ditch Son or don't have enough to get anyone decent) so I have 2 FT for the blank just in case.

AndyM3000 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Only Fernandes for me from Utd. Would have liked Greenwood but wanted Salah and went Trent over Shaw. I just can't predict what will happen with the defence and these are hard games. Bruno (c) purely because his EO is going to be through the roof and if I can't enjoy a TGW then what's the point! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to get Bruno in for the same reason but was just too expensive without ditching Salah or making way too many changes. I had Shaw already but decided to grab Greenwood just to have a finger in the fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 8, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted May 8, 2021 Yep around 160% EO on average for Bruno. Part of me Wants to ignore EO. But my logic is always well if Bruno scores I’m happy. And if Greenwood or Salah scores then I can still be happy. If I captained Greenwood or Salah then I’d want Bruno to Fail. On a TGW. I hate that. Even though I think it’s entirely possible that Salah will Outscore bruno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouUnastanFren Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 First time I've ever owned Maguire in FPL I think. He's played every single PL minute since he moved to United. I also have Watkins. Enjoyed that one even less than I usually do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 10, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted May 10, 2021 My week is going ok. However, before the TGW was announced, my plan was to keep Son, swap Alonso for Godfrey, Lingard for Raphinha and Davis for DCL. DCL and Son have both scored, Raphinha got an assist and Godfrey got an assist and a CS. So even though I'm doing well, it'll be interesting to see how my previously planned team would have done by the end of this gameweek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted May 10, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 10, 2021 Dilemma now. I've brought in Dallas for Castagne and Kane for Vardy for GW36. That's my 2 FTs. I can put out 10 players with that. But I still have Bruno and Iheanacho (and Shaw) blanking. I suspect Bruno will also get limited minutes in 38 and Iheanacho's fixtures are not great in 37 & 38 anyway. So do I pull the trigger on a -8 and bring in either Son or Bale for Fernandes and one of Bamford, Antonio or DCL for Iheanacho (I need the Bruno money to make the forward transfer but I could make the Bruno transfer on its own). I think it would work out. The only fixture I'd probably regret is Bruno v Fulham in 37 but given the others have 6 solid fixtures it more than makes up. The only decision I think is which of the forwards to buy. They all have their merits. I may plump for DCL and chase the Sheffield United game. Plus I've already got double Leeds cover and Lingard at West Ham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going Iheanacho and bruno to DCL and Son this week for a -4. That gives me 9 for GW36 plus Davis and Forster (it's a shame Watkins' red card didn't happen against Everton ) Contemplating another hit to boost those numbers, but we'll see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
