tomav84 Posted January 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 6, 2022 GW22 looking like a monster. lots of doubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 6, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 6, 2022 And Liverpool likely doubling in 26 with Norwich and Leeds. I wonder how close Salah will get to 300% EO that week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 6, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 6, 2022 A very rudimentary and initial table of who to target for GW22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted January 6, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted January 6, 2022 Not overly excited by this DGW to be honest but think I still might use one of the 2 FHs. Not sure when else I'd use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 6, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 6, 2022 Liverpool are the tricky one. On one hand they have one fixture. On the other, it's home to Brentford. But they also have COVID so who will be missing, and they play Arsenal in the cup 4 days afterwards. So if you think the fixture is worth it, do you risk Jota and end up getting rested. Do you risk not having Trent and he blows up against them. It's not a fantastic double. No-one has an outstanding set of fixtures. I'll probably go triple United and triple Spurs. I'll have one Chelsea, max 2, even though they're away to City. I've a pool of about 25 players I'm looking at and 5 of the starters are definites at this stage with probably 3 others that are very likely. Watch it all blow up in my face now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted January 6, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 6, 2022 But I'm now erring towards not free hitting, because the players I'm replacing actually have really good fixtures and it wouldn't surprise me if some of them scored better than what comes in.

I'm leaning towards not using the FH as I can be happy with just a - 8. No idea when I'll use them both though. 43 minutes ago, BOF said: I'd go DDG, Sancho (or Rashford) & Ronaldo. I've brought Ronnie in (felt I had to but don't really want him) and lined DDG up. However decided to get Lloris in the end as prefer him as a long term hold. I was toying with Sancho, Rashford or Cavani but I'm just not convinced by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavani probably wouldn't get the minutes and I simply cannot see beyond Ronaldo, Kane & Dennis up front if I was to FH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancho only has 1 goal and assist to his name, is only averaging 65 odd mins a match and Utd in general don't look convincing. I think he will come good at some point though. Kane is tempting but Antonio against Leeds could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted January 7, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 7, 2022 I'm in the bizarre position where I can turn any of my 3 strikers (Antonio, Dennis, Ronaldo) into Kane for a minus 4 and I'm not sure I want to. Even Dennis has 3 really good fixtures coming up in a Newcastle/Burnley double and then Norwich. Kane can be a troll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a - 4 to ditch Salah and bring him in. If I FH now does it undo all my transfers and - 8 or do I just reset to what I've already done? I think it resets to how it was at the start (i.e. Salah back). Really tempted to just use it now. If anything else happens between now and then I think I will.

You'll keep the transfers you've made to this point but just for this week, and they'll be gone again after 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappy Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I’m going to use my first FH and load up on DGW players (will keep TAA and probably go for DCL too as a SGW option). The chips rarely come good for me so might as well get one out of the way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted January 8, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted January 8, 2022 Got to admire the dedication to do 190 transfers a week in the race to the bottom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted January 9, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted January 9, 2022 Brought Gray in for Everton's DGW and Leicester have just got the 2nd game called off ffs. Least they play Norwich next and have a few fixtures to fit in so not completely wasted transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
