What last week’s FA Cup results meant for Blank Gameweek 29

Bowen or Palmer in for Jota*?

Don't mind blanks in GW29.

Better pick here?

A - Diaz (nfo) in 27, Barkley (cry/bou) in 28

B - Son (CRY) in 27, Son in 28 (ast)

Start Gordon or Palmer?

Bench Hwang and play Bailey? Probably selling Hwang and benching Bailey would be a waste?

I have currently only Martinez, Watkins, Taylor playing on 29. Could get Son, Bowen and Toney with FTs and then WC.

Is it better to just FH on 29 in my situation and save wildcard for later?

My transfers for next gws until 29 are son, Bowen,luiz,Toney for a hit which have me 10 players for gw29. It's not like dead ending it seems. I can carry this team a further (fh34) and wc 35 and bb 37. What do you guys think ?

Might look like this for gw29.

Areola
Doughty konsa taylor
Son richy Luiz Bowen
Watkins toney

Dub gabriel saliba saka haaland

The best I can get with FTs for GW29 is this 7 which includes two I already have that are flagged

Areola
Pau, Porro
Son, Maddison, Bowen
Watkins

Bringing in Doughty, Luiz, Barkley, Toney on FH (which admittedly aren't the most appealing of options) adds 15 points according to RMT, plus another 5 for bringing in a DGW28ers, over Bowen.

So the question is will bringing in players that are likely to DGW in GW34 for strong SGWers add more than 20 points? Given that the likeliest options to choose from are BOU, EVE, CRY, SHU & MUN or NEW players, and I will have 5 FTS between GW30 and GW34 to bring players from those clubs in any way I'm thinking probably not.

Had already transferred in Solanke for Adebayo before I knew his injury. Does this team require a -4 now?

1.8 bank

Areola
Porro Ake Gabriel
Gordon Saka Foden Diaz
Haaland Watkins Solanke

Leno Hwang Estu Taylor

Hello has anyone put together an analysis for WC30 vs WC31 yet? Avoiding ARS v MCI comes to mind and some fixture swings but not sure what else?

Is BGW29 ripe for FH chip? Is that what most folk are doing?

Defence is a mess. Need to start 2 of reguilon, taylor, estu and injured porro

Thoughts on estu to senesi - 4 ahead of Bournemouth dgw?

Or saliba instead for double arsenal

Thanks

Get Bailey or Luiz?

Hi guys

I’m one of those who will not be using free hit in 29. I have 6 already (not including Kabore), happy that I can get to 9, including most key players.

Big question for me as someone who hasn’t yet had a chance to bring back an Arsenal defender: what would you do here?

A) Estupinan to Gabriel for free (then either get to 8 for 29 or take hits for more)

B) Estupinan to Doughty (plays 4 games compared to Gabriel’s 2 over the next 3 GWs) or another defender playing in 29 for free

I know a lot have double Arsenal defence but best to go some way to correcting that mistake now?

1FT 1.1ITB
Areola
Estupinan Cash Robinson
KDB Saka Foden Bowen
Haaland Watkins Solanke*

Dubravka Gordon Reguilon Kabore

Thanks

Dubravka (Areola)
Cash, Taylor, Gabriel (Udogie, Richards)
KDB, Foden, Bowen, Saka, Gross
Haaland, Watkins (Darwin)

Save the transfer for easier planning GW28 & GW29 ??

GW28 Darwin ---- Solanke (+ Luton player)

GW29 maybe without FH.

Areola
Udogie, Taylor, Cash
Bowen
Watkins
With 1 or 2 transfers bring in Spurs assets.

Should I keep Palmer or Gordon? Only have room for 1.

Wait is Hwang injured now? Just crazy for the past 7-8 gws every player I bring in gets injured the next gw.

people wondering why all these injuries are happening...its not just "bad luck".

This narrative that there's only a small niche of 'relevant' players
... so only 6 or 7 count in a blank game week is a bit weird.

Is this EO domination?

It's not like low owned players don't haul and popular picks blank.

Anyhow, each to their own.

This is a nailed on FH29 with only 3 possible starters, right?

AREOLA, Kelleher
PORRO, Gabriel, Estupinan, Burn, Bradley
Kdb, Saka, Foden, Gordon, Hwang
WATKINS, Haaland, Darwin

Bank 0.0m, 1FT

Start Palmer (bre) or Bowen (eve)?

A. Play Darwin
B. Hwang to Bowen (Darwin to Solanke in 28)

Still early but for those planning to FH in 29, whats the potential team you've been thinking of lining up?

Defence is in the mud! I was going to use 2 FTs to do Estu & Adebayo to Senesi & Solanke, but now one's close to a ban and one could be injured, what to do!

Areola (Dub)
Estu / Regu / Saliba (Bell* / Baldock*)
Palmer / Foden / Gordon / Saka / KDB
Haaland / Watkins

I'm now just thinking of making 2 defensive transfers instead of Solanke this week, but who do I need?

Maupay the FH29 differential!

Bringing in Kudus over Bowen was not a great gamble to close the gap on the leaders..!

Am I best to stick with him now?
Planning to dump KDB and Alvarez for Salah and Solanke/Watkins.

Other attackers are:

Gross Nacho Palmer
Toney Haaland

If I can get to this with a -4, should I save the FH for a double?
Flekken/Areola
Porro Doughty
Son Maddison Bowen Luiz
Watkins Toney

It does mean going without Solanke for the double though

I'll have four players with three transfers, one of which will get Solanke next week if he's ok and probably Neto. Looks like I'm on FH then! Otherwise rocking a 1-1-1 formation 🙂

Areola
Doughty
Son
Watkins

Which Bou def to go for ?
a. Senesi (8YC)
b. Kerkez
c. Zabarnyi

Currently got 8 players for GW29, so it's an easy no-FH

Should I do the WC30, FH34, BB37 plan? Anyone in the same boat with a better idea?
