Like all I’m in doubt.

I think the double defence offers better value as well but with the funds sitting in the bank and no obvious upgrade or issue with my side I do just feel like taking a punt for this run and hoping I get the captaincy calls correct.Mav3rick wrote: ↑16 Jan 2020, 15:23 Yeah I have Robbo, TAA and Mane, but have Sterling and two frees so a Salah swap is possible for the DGW.
Beyond it, I'm fairly sure the defensive double up is better, it's just if a single Salah really provides much defence if the Mane v Salah TC goes badly.
Same decision for most I guess. How scared are you of the one of Salah/Mane you don't have and how effective is a non captain pick against a TC pick if things go against you.
For the DGW I agree you'd probably prefer the attacking double up if given free choice (due to it being two away fixtures). But in an overall squad structure for an extended run of games, I think I prefer the Robbo+TAA+1, with the remaining attacking budget going mostly on City options.FranckKessie wrote: ↑16 Jan 2020, 15:39What makes you sure of this?

This is a headache I'm having tbh. Currently have Salah & TAA but scratching my head as to whether to bring in Robbo or Mane. Getting Mane means a 4 point hit & losing KDB until I see fit to swap back (which is likely to be after this run of brilliant fixtures) getting Robbo requires an 8 point hit. Personally I feel if you go with Mane & Salah you just have to pick one to captain and leave it on them all the way through these fixtures.Mav3rick wrote: ↑16 Jan 2020, 16:19For the DGW I agree you'd probably prefer the attacking double up if given free choice (due to it being two away fixtures).

Liverpool defenders, especially the full backs, look so superior to anyone else for the upcoming run, but Sterling/Aguero, Son and KDB can keep up with the attackers I suspect.
I also follow the maths logic but some of that is just phasing, the later chip use giving the opportunity to make up the ranking.Mav3rick wrote: ↑16 Jan 2020, 14:12I follow the logic in your maths, but the TC effect is only 12 points or so. i.e. one times Salah or Mane. Big enough, sure, but playing the TC another (single) GW probably leaves you 6 down or so on average.Stu255 wrote: ↑16 Jan 2020, 09:53 Therefore... We should expect over a million teams to score 90pts+ in GW24.
Of course it might not happen, but that is what the central expectation should be / is. If saving TC just prepare yourself for a big drop in ranking. But even if you do TC24 it can still all go wrong, Salah could get 5pts and Mane 50pts.
All the other points are up for grabs for anyone regardless of chip use. For a non-captained Mane/Salah you have the complication of a Robbo/VVD + 5m or so to look for more points from SGW players.
It's something I'm weighing up. A non captained Salah or a non captained Robbo + upgrades.
Im a frayed knot. It was Firmino's baptism in the holy waters of Alisson's swimming pool... Admittedly rather peculiarSmurphy's Paw wrote: ↑17 Jan 2020, 10:59I’m intrigued now. Is it not safe for FISO?
I don't normally ever take hits but considering I will be keeping all 3 for a very sustainable amount of time I'm happy to do it this week. The -8 is really offputting and I also feel the best combo is TAA+Salah+Mane.Smurphy's Paw wrote: ↑17 Jan 2020, 10:58 Josh, I’d avoid the -8 and probably avoid the -4. Factor in those definitely lost points and the changes make less sense.
Obvs keep an eye on Rashford and his poorly back. Firmino for free would be a better switch if he’s still out or doubtful
There's always a week every season where there are a lot of blanks which I always use the FH for, instead of planning like crazy and potentially ruining the structure of my team so tbh I hadn't even considered it. Rashford to Firmino could be sensible but he is so patchy and Rashford seems to be firing regardless of fixtures. I'd rather not do that really as I'm not fussed he's missing the Liverpool game its more Burnley at home I want him for. I think I'm just going to do the 4 point hit for Mane. I don't personally see an issue with it given that he will be in my team for the DGW & at least what 7-8 weeks and he's likely to bag me plenty of points throughout that period at the expense of KDB unfortunately. If I ever do take a 4 point hit it would only ever be in circumstances like these where the change is long term. I'm top of most of my cash mini leagues bar the big cash one where I'm 17h & there's 100 points between me and first. Still not convinced of the triple captain either tbh in 2 away games. Wolves away wont be easy.
Not sure that will make a difference at home to Shrewsbury. And if it does, then I'm pretty sure I won't be using the FH in GW31.
Well from my own experience, I'd have been destroyed in past seasons not using my FH in a blank week so it was where I'd pencilled it in. I can adequately prepare for other DGWs, especially with the WC in hand. However the blank is very difficult to prepare for if it's a nasty one so the incremental points for the FH make it worth it imo.From4corners wrote: ↑27 Jan 2020, 20:37
I wasn't planning on using the FH for a BGW anyways, not that I know which teams will be there, as I prefer using that chip for the potential of the bigger teams (e.g. another DGW) rather than "wasting" it on the "smaller" teams.
Agreed. Using it to load up on Burnley and Wolves players just doesn't excite. If using it in GW31 can be sensibly avoided then I'll look to avoid it.From4corners wrote: ↑27 Jan 2020, 20:37 I wasn't planning on using the FH for a BGW anyways, not that I know which teams will be there, as I prefer using that chip for the potential of the bigger teams (e.g. another DGW) rather than "wasting" it on the "smaller" teams.
I'm not sure I trust Chelsea to beat either...Sutter Kane wrote: ↑27 Jan 2020, 20:47Not sure that will make a difference at home to Shrewsbury. And if it does, then I'm pretty sure I won't be using the FH in GW31.
