I agree - I just put that team in above and I can afford it which cheered me up - then I noticed I have 0.0 ITB yet they have 2.8 ITB !!!!!

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
I was thinking about using my triple captain chip in GW35 as it's a double week but reading this thread I'm not so sure. So my question is, what strategy will yield the most points: Triple Capt or Bench Boost?

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
TC'ing Aguero during DGW32 was expected to bring in about 15 pts and that was with pretty much the most ideal fixtures. Even Vardy hauling this week is still 16 additional points with the TC.johnjoe107 wrote: ↑07 Apr 2019, 10:44 I was thinking about using my triple captain chip in GW35 as it's a double week but reading this thread I'm not so sure.

But the "floor" (ignoring negative points) for BB'ing is 4 players by 2 appearance points twice, i.e. 16 pts.
Plus there's the fact BB depends on 4 players while TC depends on one which means the variance is lower.
I don't think many would disagree that WC > FH > BB > TC...

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
Ryan & Gunn seems agreat Combo - but lets be honest, you want Ryan for 34 and hes adequate for 35 but then hes benched for the rest of the season?

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
BOU needed Barnes to score an own goal yesterday to get on the score sheet and Burnley aren't terrific. As much chance in Rondon showing up as there is Wilson/King IMHO. Dont think Id be upset having either in goal in GW36 making Ryan 0.5m too expensive for the bench (From 36 on). (Suggesting a keeper downgrade to fund an outfield player upgrade after BB here)

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
You want to use a transfer on a goalkeeper after GW35 to make use of £0.4/0.5 more on outfield players? That’s not a good idea imo. There are only a few times a season that we have £0.0 in the bank.Beerfuelledman wrote:BOU needed Barnes to score an own goal yesterday to get on the score sheet and Burnley aren't terrific.

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
I see your point but the problem I see with the BB is the players will be relatively weak compared to the starting XI so even with the extra games probably won't get many points.Resonare wrote:TC'ing Aguero during DGW32 was expected to bring in about 15 pts and that was with pretty much the most ideal fixtures.

If Kane gets 2 goals and and assist in his games against City and Brighton that will surely yield more points than the BB.

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
No Im saying that 0.5m (more) worth of Ryan is of no use after the BB.Ryan is good for GW34, ok for DGW35 BB and little use after that. Hes at best on a par with Gunn in 36 and the worse choice in 37 & 38.Joccki_10 wrote: ↑07 Apr 2019, 12:54You want to use a transfer on a goalkeeper after GW35 to make use of £0.4/0.5 more on outfield players?

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
i'm fairly similar to thisNo Way Jose wrote: ↑07 Apr 2019, 06:40 Currently..
Ryan (Foster)
Duffy Dunk Trippier (Valery, TAA)
Jota son deulofeu mane (JWP)
Aguero lacazette Kane
.7 spare for dunk to Kolasinac or deulofeu to Fraser.
Pick holes in it guys! Too double gameweek focused? Can’t help but think city players will be tough to pick but Aguero will start the most given his importance.
Could do Aguero to Wilson and deulofeu to hazard or sterling
ryan (gunn)
dunk, duffy, VVD, Doherty, AWB
Son, Mane, Jota, Camasara, Hojbjerg
Kane, Aguero, Auba
Could be a bit top heavy ?

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
As long as they appear twice that's 16 points, excluding negative points which I've already shown is on par with TC scores that would be considered a success.johnjoe107 wrote: ↑07 Apr 2019, 13:19 I see your point but the problem I see with the BB is the players will be relatively weak compared to the starting XI so even with the extra games probably won't get many points.

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
With Arsenal being so poor away from home (dreadful again today) and the constant chopping and changing of the team, I'm surprised to see so many Arsenal players in these line ups. Just TWO home games left, and very tough away games at Watford, Wolves, Leicester, Burnley, I can't see the attraction. In fact, looking at their fixtures I think only GW37 H v Brighton is a good fixture, and even that could become tricky if Brighton still aren't safe.
There is every chance that you only get one game of the DGW from Laca/Auba and neither fixture is particularly good, I think I'm going to avoid them completely.

No one else looking at Ederson? Seems like the most reliable City player for starts.

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
I'dm a bit wary of picking Gunn myself - I don't have any real evidence for this or any special insight, he just seems to me like exactly the sort of keeper who could get dropped at any stage out of the blue. He didn't look great the other night against Liverpool

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
And just like that, Foster gets dropped out the blue while Holebas and Deulofeu get injured...au revoir my WC template!
As for Arsenal, I think the reaction to them losing is a little much? Everton have improved defensively in recent weeks and Arsenal always concede on the road, hardly shocking that they lost.
The question is whether Kolasinac is worth 5m as, more or less, a midfielder away from home? I'd argue he probably still is even with the occasional -1 from conceding 2 goals when he's compared to Arsenal's budget midfielders like Iwobi.
Anyway, it's back to the drawing board for me. I think I'll avoid making any more drafts until Tuesday's CL games are played

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
Think I'm going with:
3 x TOT 3 x SOT 3 x WOL 2 x BRI 2 x WAT 1 x MC and 1 x ARS
but leaving about 3m to 4m unspent to help move to LIV players in GW36 when home to HUD.
Potentially 30 appearances in BB GW35 and most with decent fixtures. Spurs home to HUD in GW34 so there's the captain and vice captain. Will see how the European matches go on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Difficult to know what teams Pep will put out with them playing Spurs 3 times and then away to MUN all by end of GW35 so will just pick 1 from MC (probably Laporte). Arsenal's 4 away fixtures out of 6 combined with Europa League quarter final matches against Napoli also mean just selecting 1 (in attack).

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
Definitely 3x Tot here. Possibly 2x Sou and 2x Wat? Also loading 2 or 3 Bri for the double double. Beyond that I'm struggling. If Arsenal were at home more than away I'd be sitting on 2 making a case for a third but am starting to think 1 may be best, and an attacker at that.
Beyond that it's looking like a bit of a lottery.

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
Gracia seems to favor rotation around small league games as opposed to big so probably...but it's hard to see how Deeney won't start against Arsenal...
The only good thing to come out of this is Masina at 4.2m potentially becoming a nailed option if Holebas is out long-term.

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
I've jumped the gun a little on that (out of pure annoyance of Holebas' injury).
Gomes has started in Watford's last few cup games so Foster isn't at any more risk than he before today.
What's probably more worrying is Lacazette has only scored away in the league vs the bottom 3 teams

The problem with your strategy and a lot of others is you have left yourself short of City and Liverpool players for the rest of the season.admin wrote:Think I'm going with:

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
Current draft:
Ryan/Gunn
Robertson/TAA/Doherty/Duffy/Valery
Salah/Erisken/Son/Jota/Hudson-Odoi
Kane/Rashford/Jimenez
The big question right now is Salah. If I ditch him then the extra funds can change the whole shape of the squad.

Re: WC34 BB35 Strategy
I hope to have 2 x LIV in GW36 to add to my 1 x MC so have some coverage. Who is Pep going to pick for the next few EPL matches? Spurs hopefully easier to predict and have a decent run in but the strategy does rely on Kane and the gang delivering despite having the CL quarters against MC.johnjoe107 wrote: ↑07 Apr 2019, 20:15 The problem with your strategy and a lot of others is you have left yourself short of City and Liverpool players for the rest of the season.
