Stevo985 Posted April 29, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted April 29, 2021 1 hour ago, BOF said: I was wavering on Bruno to Son and what has turned me off it is I'd want him back straight away, and he is on pens and Man Utd at home are likely to put a big performance in against Liverpool. So I'm going to do that thing which does not come naturally to me in FPL and I'm going to roll my FT and hope Son doesn't steamroll Sheff Utd. I'd only be re-arranging the deck chairs really, and I'll need to make more significant moves later on when I have more info. Yeah that's the big fear. The positive for me is it frees up enough cash to get the others in (probably not Coleman now that I've properly looked at his minutes) so i think the points I gain overall will be worth missing out on that double. I completely agree that Bruno could easily punish it though. Just have to hope for the opposite of what you want 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted April 29, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 29, 2021 Have fixtures for the remaining weeks actually been locked in yet then? I'm rolling my FT this week, trying to fit 13 players into the 11 already and might fancy a mini wildcard next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Crellin has predicted some fixtures moving from 36 to 35 and the remaining outstanding fixtures to be played in 35. And he is rarely wrong. So chances are 35 will be a DGW and 36 will be a blank gameweek. But no official announcements yet. Last time this happened they announced them literally seconds after the deadline for the current gameweek. So it wouldn't surprise me if that happened again this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'd seen Ben's predictions but had seen it confirmed anywhere so thought I'd check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would allow me to swap Alonso for Coleman and Davis for Watkins next week ready for the doubles/blanks. My current squad has 6 doublers and only 7 players for the blank (plus Davis). The above would give me 7 doublers, and probably 11 for the blank. The downside is I miss Bruno's DGW which could be lucrative, but I think it's probably worth the risk. The upside of getting Son in this week for SHU is pretty big! I've gone for it. Bruno is out and Son in. I think Bruno will score this week. It's written in the stars. But I think my transfers will be worth it over the next few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouUnastanFren Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 The games for GW36 and 37 have been pushed back, still no word on whether the GW deadlines will be moved to give us a big double (and a blank) though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted April 30, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 30, 2021 Looks like fixtures for the double and blank have been confirmed as now showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Rolling the transfer to prepare for the DGW next week then I will wildcard after it. Captain Kane. 188% EO, nice and boring but expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Villa win but Calvert Lewin and Digne get a goal and an assist as well as somehow topping the bonus with 3 and 2? No idea how that even works but fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 1, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted May 1, 2021 Was sure Alonso would get a start this week so that's **** me a bit. Having him and Dias hoping for the odd good week to give me a differential really isn't working out. Red arrow at the moment but I've only had 3 players play so should be in a better position this time tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouUnastanFren Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I've got triple LIV plus Bruno. If it isn't rescheduled for tomorrow I've had a shocking week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 2, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted May 2, 2021 Most people are going to have shocking weeks to be fair. Unless you own Bale or captained Son you've probably scored very little. On the plus side, my Bruno to Son transfer is looking pretty sweet right now!

Stevo985 Posted May 2, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted May 2, 2021 Rumours it won't happen this week. And GW36 is the only week it could be slotted in. So Man Utd wouldn't have a blank in 36 and Liverpool would double in 35 with WBA and SOU Which again just means anyone who has bothered to do any planning for this has completely wasted their time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Hasn’t turned out too bad despite me probably only ending up with 9 players. Captain’d Son and had goalscorers in Watkins, Calvert-Lewis and Evans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted May 3, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 3, 2021 I had triple Liverpool and Shaw, also had Rudi and Holding miss out. Looking at having only 8 players this week. Giving Son the captain has saved me as I'm on 40 with 3 still to play. Just wish I'd pulled the trigger on that Maddison to Bale upgrade I was considering.
