What? Nooooo!

Would it be inappropriate if I reply it with a mum joke?

You know you don't get points for unused chips at the end of the season right? When are you planning on using them?

Decent 11 this week. Could make that a decent 15 and BB

Keeping the chips for next season then?

Don’t listen to the sheep

I would do Salah & Andreas to Maddison & Mitoma + bench Martinelli

City/Chelsea then Arsenal do not look good for Liverpool. I think its worth it because it gives you another £3m ish to spend, which I am sure gets you more points, plus Estupinan has at least another few doubles to play

Yes

C

Mee to Chilwell
Martinelli to March

Do not lose Marti!

As a Marti seller this weekend (that fell for the thinking he would see reduced minutes due to EL exertions), I also agree. Dont sell him. The guy is one of the first on the teamsheet for Arteta right now. Wouldnt surprise me if he hauls big in the coming weeks. March is a stressful own. I know which one Id rather own.

I think it might be the right time to lose Gabriel, given Arsenal's upcoming schedule. If you want to keep 2 ARS, I would definitely stick with Saka & Martinelli. I do love those BHA mids but I think I'd go for A & B - Chilwell & James here.

Looks good. Possibly improvements if you have transfers (e.g. I don't fancy a Brentford double up when both games are against your attackers) but a solid team if that's the final line-up

I would look to bench someone else.

Kane if it must be between those 2. But would look at someone else

Just bench boost

1
A

But didnt see yesterdays Bri game. I know March scored but he can dodge points also. Watched March v closely in his previous league game. Seems to be an assist the assister. Similar to what Odegaard is doing at Arsenal. Feeding someone else, who then feeds the scorer.

3 for me - Casemiro will be a big loss for United so I wouldn't be too hopeful for a CS in 29. Yes Chelsea games not easy either, but comparatively I think they are more likely to hold the line.

I think A but I read that he dropped back into his deeper role at the weekend so maybe monitor that?

3A MU looked bad and losing the game before situation changed. Mitro brace was very close.

2B

If go Mitoma over March.

I’m not sold on Maddison. And I own him. Though LEI were poor at weekend (again) and he is on 8 yellows and showing signs of frustration. Rodger’s also flip flops over who play up front

I think the suggestions are

1. Let us know how you cloned Martinelli
2. Ward and Almiron to a GK of choice and Mitoma

Looking at Trent in isolation, City/Chelsea then Arsenal do not look good for Liverpool CS prospects and he's not showing anywhere near value at the other end of the pitch.

Not sure i endorse that -12 though - might be tempted to hold Kane and limit it to a -8

D tbh

If I owned Martinelli, i wouldnt sell him. The guy is playing great football and getting into dangerous positions on the pitch.

If I didnt own either, id probably go B on that option then. But the danger of Mac dropping out of that forward position is till there.

B but it’s damn close because Arsenal are scoring for fun

So you have 1FT to make correct? If so, prob Marti to bruno has most upside. Dont think you will be holding Bruno though. Utd seem to have gotten a bit more spotty in recent weeks.

Yeah 1 FT. Im really thinking getting Isak now since possible DGW 31

Once more im the only one saying keep your Arsenal players

Been saying this for weeks - see below

I would possible do Kane to Isak so.

Kane doesnt look like he is in a team that's coming by results easily. His most recent 2 goal game was the first one in many weeks. So i think Isak could do really well against Kane over 29. Isak is hungry and it shows.

Think i would play Kepa. Dont think Raya will keep 2 CS's. I know he might get save points, but so too can Kepa. Our squads are almost identical bar 2. I am BBing this week (if they dont arrive home from the IB crocked).

I'd play Kepa over Raya - prefer Chelsea doubleup to Brentford

Could do Kane/Ode to a DGW player and bench Mee?

Hasn’t changed my plan. Will just bring in Steele who has two games. Not sure who your outfield non-playing sub is but could consider a DGW player for -4. Who says 34 won’t see an injury or someone dropped. Each to their own but if I can get 10 doublers out and 5 strong SGW players then I’ll play it in 29

Just bite the bullet now and ditch Ward. You need replacement twice and this is dgw. -4 to get 3 more games is worth it, unless your new gk has expected pts per match below 1.34.

Take a hit if necessary and get it done. Sooner the BB is done, sooner you can have fodder again as your 5th defender and midfielder. The longer you leave it, the longer your hands and value will be tied into your 34 BB.

I was expecting today if that was going to happen.

GW31 starts 15th April, so given that GW29 is on the 1st and these things tend to affect TV schedules, fan travel etc etc, I suspect we will know it is on before the deadline.

I think Crellin said it would be announced over the IB if going in 30/31

Looks good. You might need a FT on a keeper if Ward doesn't get his place back by 32. Not tempted to go straight to Haaland this GW and then assess moves for other strikers after that? Although not having a Brighton attacker for DGW29 is a risk.

Great comeback but tbh I think the next few weeks could be where the lack of chips comes back to bite you. I do like the Kane - Ferguson move though

Is Wellbeck injured and Ferguson guaranteed to start? I am considering getting Isak, especially if they get another dgw soon.

Congrats for rank gains! I have had horrible season for different reasons and been little frustrated and doing some too hasty transfers. More patient approach would have often been better.

What's your team?

BB29
Probably TC34
Probably FH37
WC likely to be somewhere between 30-33

Who would you TC this week? Captaincy is tough. I'm going to TC Haaland in 34, assuming WHU(H) is added; BB29 & FH32.

Injuries aside, that looks sound

Kepa or iverson (rogers has already said he will get a run of games)

Neto for the fixtures and the saves is who i'm considering. Otherwise, DDG?

Kepa? Steele is nailed imo as long as he doesn't make errors too big.

Steele isnt nailed but you'd expect him to get the next 2 at least.

Not 100% nailed long-term, but yes I would expect him to start both games in 29 at least

Kepa imo. Dull however.

Neto's fixtures for double and until end of season actually look pretty good.. on paper ha

One of the Saka's should be Maddison

Risky break to rush any exact money moves & plenty of alternatives to DDG (or alternative routes to DDG) so hold those moves til next week. Nothing here besides Ward would be really problematic to BB, but if nothing crops up then I like Isak, or maybe Gabriel - Estupinan

I am considering Kane to Isak and next week Toney to Haaland.

Ward to Steele? He's cheaper than DDG, his team is in form and his fixtures are decent

Much as I rate Maddison (originally intended to cap him for 29), Leicester's form, plus his performance v BRE, and the 8 YC, are starting to pile up as factors against him. Also with Ty Adams out, Leeds will be a lot more open through the middle. So I think prefer A to B to C here

Rashford is my only intended transfer this gw. Fortunately I'm not in a hurry and there's still plenty of time. Hopefully we'll know sth more in the next days.
