KentVillan Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Anyone got any tips on when to play Bench Boost. I've got really easy fixtures for my whole squad next GW (23) but thinking there might be a massive double GW later in the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted February 5, 2023 Moderator Share Posted February 5, 2023 Hoping Haaland blanks now and Rashford continues to score in midweek. Lots of people in our money league appear to have stuck with Haaland on captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We both have Rashford. I've TCd him so I hope he gets a hatrick. You haven't captained him so better for you if he actually scored a hatrick of own goals followed by a red. Be a better game without those chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's something in the game which makes you want one of these players to not score points then to me it goes against this fundamental element. But it's just a game and if it makes more people enjoy it than dislike it then that's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That safety net bullshit is horrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The captain chip often leads to situations which make you want one of your players to do bad which makes no sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
