Need a big score from BB The goal of GW 25ish to 30ish was to make huge gains. I di make a lot of gains last week (about 250k places) but the other weeks have been fairly flat. If next gameweek doesn't deliver I'd consider this period a failure. Top 500k is in sight though. I'm around 700k now. Which will turn this absolute disaster of a season into something remotely respectable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which will turn this absolute disaster of a season into something remotely respectable top 500k was my target at the start of the season as this year is the first where i've taken it seriously and actually learnt how to play the game. last year i got around 550k and that was with doing loads of things that i now know to be idiotic. next GW will make things interesting. i should have 14 DGW players + haaland annoyingly ward being dropped means i'm going to need to change GK for a hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't wait for the next one to put it right!

He's like Mahrez. Absolute gold if you happen to have him at exactly the right time. But most of the time he'll let you down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted March 27, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 27, 2023 I've sold Haaland. But it's Haaland. He could easily get a hattrick My moves were going to be Gabriel and Odegaard to Shaw and Bruno. But that would mean losing Kane to get Haaland back. If I either get Martinez instead of shaw, or sell Saka instead of Odegaard then I can sell Toney to get Haaland back. So that's my decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Time to prepare for the DGW. Kane, Martinelli, Saka and Zinchenko are my only SGW players and two of them will be transferred out. Martinelli is cheaper and has a very similar output to Saka, plus I'd lose .3m on him so I think he's safe. I was planning to free hit GW32 but if I avoid going overboard on Utd/Brighton players I can get 11 out that week and save the free hit for DGW34 where I can get triple Pool, City, Utd. Anyone else doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else doing this? thing is that it's not just this DGW. man u have 2 nice fixtures in 30 and 31 so you'd think most folks will have at least 2 utd players but probably 3, meaning you're taking a risk by not having many. looking at my plans for the coming weeks i don't think it's too difficult to have a decent team for GW34 without a free hit so i'm sticking to my plan of free hit in 32. plus i won't have any arsenal for the next few and means i can triple up on their GW32 game vs southampton at home.

Anyone else doing this? I've a mate doing that but navigating 32 means I'm sub-optimal for every other week in the run up and beyond. So I'll build towards 34 with my current squad and FH 32. It makes more sense for me, but I get the appeal of 34. I just think you can't look at that 1 week in isolation. Over that 5 or 6 week stretch I reckon I out-score many teams who will FH 34.

It will give me 13 players with a double plus Kane and Saka/Odegaard. Pretty happy with that. BB will be active. Hoping for a monster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted March 31, 2023 Moderator Share Posted March 31, 2023 Pep proper shit-housing in the conference, in that his assessment of Haaland is way more positive than I think many expected. So positive that I think many will hold onto him now. Scenes when he doesn't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
