Re: GW31 Transfers - Deadline: 16 Mar 14:00
Can't decide between Wilson and King.
Is King worth a gamble? Every team I see has gone for Wilson and so far King has only 17K transfers in compared to 260k! for Wilson.
Thinking of King just to be different against the crowd, he just as likely to start and has a good chance of scoring, anybody else gone for King above Wilson?

Fraser or Maddison for Son or Pogba?
Vardy or Wilson for Rashford?
2 FT's.

The second is more of an ‘it depends’. Do you still have your wildcard and FH? Are funds tight? Answers of yes and no respectively will favour Vardy - he’s the best pick IMO but far more likely to block off City attackers further down the line.

Wilson has very Wilson-friendly games in GW31 and 33.

Re: GW31 Transfers - Deadline: 16 Mar 14:00
so King not worth the gamble at all? not a Bournemouth fan but whenever I see them King looks like a good player and it will only be for two fixtures (I'm using FH in GW32) so it's basically two home games v Newcastle & Burnley, just seems like a way to create a bit of difference against other teams. Is King still the 1st choice penalty taker?Finisher1 wrote: ↑15 Mar 2019, 16:06Wilson has far better underlying stats.Gambit wrote: ↑15 Mar 2019, 15:13 Can't decide between Wilson and King.

Re: GW31 Transfers - Deadline: 16 Mar 14:00
just found these little stats, but they don't make the decision any easier!
Callum Wilson is vying to score in four consecutive league appearances for the first time since October 2014 in the Championship.
Joshua King has scored four goals in his last four league games at home.

Note: King's stats are even inflated by being on pens (we don't know it but he might be off pens now) and playing as their most up front striker when Wilson was injured.

Re: GW31 Transfers - Deadline: 16 Mar 14:00
I know Wilson is the one who will play as the main striker but King has scored two double digit hauls while Wilson was also in the team (GW's 5 and 8) so I'd be gambling on King outscoring Wilson over GW 31 & 33, I agree Wilson looks the stronger pick but just looking where I can create a bit of variance this week as lots of teams will be very similar due to the restricted pool of players and King as an alternative to the hugely popular Wilson is just something I'm looking at. I can't see too many other situations where I can go against the template without it being a complete mismatch.Finisher1 wrote: ↑15 Mar 2019, 16:52This season:Gambit wrote: ↑15 Mar 2019, 16:43 just found these little stats, but they don't make the decision any easier!

You can surely increase variance by picking King. That's true. You are just more likely to lose than win.

Re: GW31 Transfers - Deadline: 16 Mar 14:00
I know but my query is how much of a risk is King?

It is perhaps a good opportunity to increase variance because he is probably far less owned than Wilson and he can score well. It's just a definite no for me because I want to pick a player who is more likely to score better.Gambit wrote: ↑15 Mar 2019, 17:19I know but my query is how much of a risk is King?

Re: GW31 Transfers - Deadline: 16 Mar 14:00
Thanks, I'll probably gamble, I've got several of the other popular key picks and the King/Wilson choice is where I thought the alternative to the popular pick wasn't as outlandish as it is in the other teams.Finisher1 wrote: ↑15 Mar 2019, 17:23It is perhaps a good opportunity to increase variance because he is probably far less owned than Wilson and he can score well.

Take £3.9m goalkeeper instead of Schmeichel and you have £1.1m more to invest on your actual players.NorthBankRedemption wrote: ↑15 Mar 2019, 17:43 I've played my free hit, my team is already shite so figured I may as well enjoy this week.

i have like 7 points in the bank as it is with this lineup...if this were an actual wildcard rather than a free hit i would certainly do that

If you take a base-price goalkeeper instead of Schmeichel you can upgrade Calvert-Lewin to a much better striker with a much better fixture. You don't need Schmeichel on the bench because Fabianski will play anyway.NorthBankRedemption wrote: ↑15 Mar 2019, 18:28i have like 7 points in the bank as it is with this lineup...if this were an actual wildcard rather than a free hit i would certainly do that

Anyone fancy a punt on Arnie? I could see a lot of goals in that match
