Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
When I read through this thread, the names that appear in many teams are
Son, Eriksen, Trippier
Sterling, Agüero
All these names are also in discussion for rotation. If all 5 would be affected, the week can easily become a desaster, particularly as they could be captain and vc choice.
Are you reducing your exposure in your team?
Son, Eriksen, Trippier
Sterling, Agüero

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
Indeed. I'll have Son because he's captain material, no Trippier and one out of Sterling or Aguero, that too in 35.Lucky wrote:When I read through this thread, the names that appear in many teams are

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
so who would you drop in GW34? If it's Knockaert not much point in having him?

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
Think my last choice is dependent on Deulofeu's fitness... If he's not fit, I'll have to switch him to Doucoure but I'm 0.1 short, so I'll have to go for Patricio and Cathcart rather than Foster and Coady. I'd prefer the latter, it feels more secure, but I won't have much choice. Meaning final team:
Ryan/Foster or Patricio
Laporte/TAA/Dunk/Valery/Cathcart or Coady
Salah/Eriksen/Son/Ward-Prowse/Deulofeu or Doucoure
Aguero/Lacazette/Jimenez
Ryan/Foster or Patricio
Laporte/TAA/Dunk/Valery/Cathcart or Coady
Salah/Eriksen/Son/Ward-Prowse/Deulofeu or Doucoure
Aguero/Lacazette/Jimenez

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
I’d rather have a DGW player, plus Salah has a tricky game in GW34 so happy to leave him until GW36.
Interestingly though, I’m managing another team for my friend and in that one I’ve left Salah in there in place of Aguero. I’m not mad keen on Aguero for this period to be honest, was far happier when I had Kane in there.

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
Lukaku is an interesting choice. While he looks good for this week, what are your plans for United's unappealing GW35 (eve, MCI) and CHE in GW36. Don't you think it's better to get him in GW37? Or get Rashford now who is much cheaper allowing you to spend elswhere?Hotstepper wrote: ↑11 Apr 2019, 17:15 Sitting with draft WC squad of

Vertonghen is a good choice, but keep in mind could he be rotated with Sanchez/Foyth for DGW35 (the Brighton game is the one where that might happen). I would prefer a Liverpool defender with attacking threat over him. Lloris instead of Leno if you want Spurs defensive cover perhaps?
Other than those 2 spots team looks solid.

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
Lukaku will probably score against his old team tho
Does Alderweireld have the same rotation threat as Vert? He has a slightly better ICT rating?

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
I like the look of this first team with swaping Vardy to Lacazette next gw BUT.........
I am also thinking of the 2nd team because im not sure I want to lose Salah vs Cardiff & Huddersfield where I will have money in the bank to transfer to Aguero or Lukaku.
My mini league rival has Salah & Mane with NO WC.
Any comments would be helpful thanks.

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
My most recent draft:
Lloris/Ryan
Dunk, Duffy, Robertson, Doherty, Valery
Ward-Prowse, Jota, Eriksen, De Bruyne, Mane
Auba, Jimenez, Vardy
Gone for De Bruyne instead of Sterling, no Aguero, no Son alongside Eriksen. Bit risk-adverse, but I'm worried about rests. Also feels weird to drop Vardy after his haul so will keep him for this week.
Thoughts?

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
Upon further thought and the discussions on here I have adjusted my team (changes in bold):
Foster / Lloris
Duffy / Cathcart / Kolasinac / Trippier / Boly
Pogba / Hazard / Sterling / Knockaert / Son
Lukaku / Jiminez / Deeney
ITB 3.6m
Reasons:
Duffy to Foster - I expect at best only one CS from Ryan in GW 34. By playing Lloris I hope for CS in GW 34 and better choice for DGW
Trippier upgrade on Valery - great, if he plays in GW 34 - otherwise bench alternatives
Eriksen to Knockheart - high risk of rotation, DGW 34
Agüero to Lukaku - very high rotation risk, Lukaku good record vs West Ham
Murray to Deeney - Deeney has good record vs Arsenal, good fixtures in DGW 35 - not enough faith in Murray
In general I had too many players subject to rotation in GW 34
Transfers planned:
for GW 35 Lukaku to Agüero
for GW 36 Sterling to Salah
Thank you for all your direct and indirect advice

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
What makes you think Aguero is a bigger rotation risk than Sterling? I personally think the opposite is more likely. Aguero only played 70 minutes the other night while Sterling played 90 and Sterling has much better ready-made replacements available than Aguero.Lucky wrote: ↑11 Apr 2019, 20:01Upon further thought and the discussions on here I have adjusted my team (changes in bold):

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
I'm liking the Knockaert suggestion but now somehow I've ended up with three Brighton players in my squad which seems insane.

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
Having 3 Brighton is fine I think if that includes the goalie and a defender....both of these can remain on the bench after the DGWs with little impact on your first XI. The 3rd can be transferred out in due course.
Having initially suggested Knockaert, I’m now having another think about it. Pascal Gross is back in full training and will likely take over set piece duties again if/when he plays
Other players I’m reconsidering are:
Pogba - Solskjaer has said he thinks Pogba could be playing a bit deeper. This is not good news for a player who’s attacking threat has already been dimishing recently
Aguero - I think his risk of rotation is too high so considering what to do without him. Quite fancy Deeney but that leaves £11m in the bank, which just seems ridiculous

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
Agüero is just back from injury, and he is a big game impact player. Tremendeous record against top six teams. So he will be needed vs Spurs and United. I am not sure about Sterling myself.bigcliff2 wrote: ↑11 Apr 2019, 20:19

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
I have 8.3 in the bank.
My team looks pretty different than previously (stated would be my last one ), lining up this weekend as:
Ryan (Foster)
TAA Doherty Duffy (Valery & Bertrand)
Son Jota Pogba Tielemans (Deulofeu)
Lukaku (c) Vardy Jiménez
Took out KWP again as I'd like to have more double gameweek potential. Only have Son now as my Spurs player. To me, their most dangerous player. If he doesn't play, and also with Kane out, I don't expect much at all of Spurs' attacking players.
Can also see myself ditching Son for Salah in 35.
I seriously considered him, heck I even had him in my team for a while this season but yeah...no. He did nothing for me and I could see him only playing one game anyways and not do a thing.

Gunn - Ryan
Alexander Arnold - Doherty - Duffy - Dunk - Valery
Salah - Eriksen - Son - Sterling - Højbjerg
Aguero - Deeney - Jimenez
Think this will be my last draft.
Sadly only 0.1 in the bank.
Wish I could upgrade Gunn -> Foster. But no cash to be found.
Suggestions?
I did had the Brighton double up but really didn’t feel comfortable having triple Brighton in defence.

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
Sticking with the triple Brighton defence.
Ryan Foster
Duffy Dunk Laporte Vertonghen (Robertson)
Mane Eriksen Son Jota (Redmond)
Aguero Jimenez (Deeney)
GW35: Dunk to Doherty and bench boost
GW36: Duffy to TAA and triple captain Mane
Any criticism of this plan?

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
I have spent every penny. It's pretty template:No Way Jose wrote:I'm struggling to spend my money. The Kane injury has been a huge spanner IMO
Ryan / Foster
Laporte / Dunk / Duffy / Doherty / Bednarek
Mane / Sterling / Son / Eriksen / Jota
Aguero / Jimi / Deeney
My only question is whether I drop Sterling and go with a cheaper mid, to give me a stronger defence (and more flexibility ie an easier route to Liverpool full backs).

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
My current team:
Lloris (Foster)
Robertson Laporte Duffy (Valery TAA)
Son Sterling Jota Deulofeu Mané
Jimenez Vardy (Deeney)
With a view to changing Vardy (c) to Aguero next week.
I could alternatively have Salah, Eriksen, JWP, Gunn instead of Mane, Sterling, Deulofeu, Foster; if I wanted to get Salah in. Which team do you think is better - the Salah one or the non-Salah one? Bearing in mind I will probably use my TC on Salah/Mane GW36.

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
Always felt it’s a bad plan to have a transfer locked in - some one will not play or get injured this week and need a transfer, also want to keep a free to get Liverpool players in for GW 36.

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
Anyone else having doubts with Pogba? He seems to have lost something in the last couple of weeks and Utd have lost that spark that was there when Ole took over. I'm wondering if Ramsey is a better option.

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
Ive heard this a fair bit and my feelings on it are as follows.
a) We were all to a fair degree locking in transfers from GW25 - GW31 for the BGW. Its really no worse doing it for GW34 - GW35.
b) Owing to the double double, a planned transfer of say Duffy Boly doesnt impact too much with BHA as if the transfer is required elsewhere if injury occurs; Duffy still has another DGW to go in 35.

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
Yes, fine for a “likely” transfer, it’s more the “Vardy c to Aguero” type I wouldn’t be locking in. Though I guess it’s only 4 points max at the end of the day.

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
I really want a Brighton attacker as a long week punt. Either Murray or knockaert I think.
Murray always seems to score against his old clubs and I think he’s got a good record against AFCB.
Knockaert played well in the cup and again I recall him playing well against afcb previously.
