Or do you even have one yet I sort of have one. I keep coming up with some, but all the postponements make things so volatile. TC on Salah in GW26 is more or less nailed on. I would have free hitted that week instead but I don't think we'll get a better TC opportunity all season. Salah vs Norwich and Leeds can't be overlooked, even though I think his EO will be enormous so I doubt we'll see huge gains from it. I'll be Wildcarding followed by a Bench Boost the week after in that big double we'll have at the end of the season. So it's really just my Free Hits I need to figure out GW30 is looking like it could be a huge blank gameweek. Usually I'd navigate it with transfers but having an extra Free Hit to most people makes it seem like a better idea. but I don't usually like using the FH on blanks as the ceiling for points is low. The other FH I'll just choose a week where we get a load more doubles and use it there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My current thinking is TC 26, WC 28 (fixture swing), FH 30 (blanks), FH 33 (blanks), BB 36 (mahoosive double). The thinking behind bench boost in 36 is that the double week might be so big that practically everyone is doubling so you won't have to massively plan to get loads of them. You'll probably fall into them naturally. But hey, wel'l see what happens. I was contemplating TC Bruno in 25 home to Brighton and Southampton beacuse his EO won't be Salah high, and if Salah gets rested for Leeds with the EFL final 4 days later it could be an opportunity to gain. But I think I may just go with the flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am beginning to dislike my team though so Wk28 wildcard is very appealing to be fair. I haven't had as much time as usual to look into it and plan recently given my new arrival. 4 minutes ago, BOF said: I was contemplating TC Bruno in 25 home to Brighton and Southampton beacuse his EO won't be Salah high, and if Salah gets rested for Leeds with the EFL final 4 days later it could be an opportunity to gain. But I think I may just go with the flow. I have nowhere near enough confidence in Utd to do that. Even though I captained Bruno in the last double and gained massively from it. I can't see Salah being rested to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted February 10, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 10, 2022 44 points and a mighty green arrow of 400 places for me. Watkins as captain was a mistake (think I'll ditch him). Jota, Trent and (maybe) Salah to go for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I've really lost interest currently. Just plodding along at this point with no thought or plan whatsoever. Just about remembered this past GW to make Trent my captain and that's it, might as well have not bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not doing badly at all. A few good weeks and you'll be laughing. Navigate the next 5 well and you could jump massively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted February 11, 2022 Moderator Share Posted February 11, 2022 Brought Salah in for KDB. Feels good. A few different reasons, none of which were major, but ultimately I'm marginally more confident in Salah not blanking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappy Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Bruno goal rescued my week (and Ronaldo), 7k green back into top 50k. Both have already been transferred out now, just hope I didn’t go too early on Salah and he gets injured tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted February 17, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 17, 2022 Jota out for 2 weeks. That's a few DGW plans in shreds. Think I'll grab Robbo instead somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably do as you say and bring Robbo in instead, even if it'll cost me a -8. Cancelo may get sacrificed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancelo may get sacrificed Not officially confirmed but been said by some of the (supposedly) ITK twitter accounts. Fpl have him flagged yellow but that's it so far. Obviously, hold off on making any moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-k Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 If he's only out for 2 weeks, then he only misses the DGW (blank the next GW)...might have to stash him on the bench as he's now 1.0 in price greater than what I paid, so 0.5 loss to bring him back in...

Miss double GW, blanks then back and likely on the bench for a 30 minute return, could then start in the CL 2nd leg and then be benched in the league again. I don't want to be on the end of that but I'd also lose 0.5m as well, he will drop in value over the next few weeks while he is out though. He blocks another Liverpool spot in the DGW if you keep him along with Salah and Trent, I think I have to get rid if I can get to Robbo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted February 17, 2022 Moderator Share Posted February 17, 2022 To Mané or to Robertson. That is the question. I can do either but the former probably means losing Bruno. The latter just gives me a ridiculous bench (because he'll take someone's starting slot). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
