Yep, I know but it's our game I think he might get rested for with the "bigger" game in midweek I'll probably go with Haaland though, it's just a mad Friday morning thought.

tomav84 Posted February 10, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) i must need my head examined but i've brought nunez in for martial. to be fair, no one can deny that's still an upgrade! also did shaw to akanji for a -4 Edited February 10, 2023 by tomav84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to thinking I might actually be able to scrape a half decent rank out of this This has also meant I’ve won my last 7 head to heads in our league and somehow sit 5th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted February 11, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 11, 2023 interesting that rashford being so highly owned, only ~2% captaining him has pushed his EO over 100% this week haaland hasn't quite broken the 200% EO line which is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 made about 8 transfers but even though I could have sworn I did , I didn’t actually click the wildcard button , so a shit week for me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted February 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 12, 2023 taking a -4 to do shaw to akanji is looking like one heck of a balls up as things stand after 4 consecutive green arrows i find myself relying upon nunez to save my week...which isn't a place anyone wants to find themselves in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted February 14, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2023 so brighton and brentford double in 27, and both blank in 28, then probably the biggest DGW in 29. anyone considering using chips early? my team suddenly needs a bit of surgery so i'm considering WC 27, FH 28, BB (probably) 29 means i can struggle through to 26, and build a solid team for the doubles of 27 and 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get through 25 no problem. So it's whether I use my FH in 28 or save it (I think 31 is going to be a big blank too) There should also be a big DGW towards the end of the season which is traditionally where I play my wildcard and BB. But that might not be aggressive enough this season given my shit position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that might not be aggressive enough this season given my shit position we might well find out before GW 29 deadline how the DGW 34 is looking so BB is still up in the air for me. but i've got too much i want to change whilst also wanting to target brighton and brentford players this could all just be reactionary to a bad week and i could feel totally differently once martinelli hauls tomorrow night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Well my Akanji transfer was an absolute disaster. Shaw on my bench. A nice big disaster week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted February 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) Despite the above, the game last night completely saved me. Finally getting a haul from KDB and then owning Haaland and Saka as well just tipped me back onto a green arrow. 9 green arrows in a row and only 2 points off the top million. My recovery from my worst ever FPL start continues. Anything inside 500k now and I'll be thrilled Edited February 16, 2023 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) Yep, captaining KDB paid off. Not sure what to do with it this week though, I fear some Pep Roulette at home to Forest. Definitely bringing Shaw off the bench though! Edited February 16, 2023 by Wainy316 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
