4 players blanking in GW28 leaves you no flexibility...planning to sub your way around that?

Not sure if you're on twitter or follow any of the FFScout stuff but if you follow @FPL_Joe or @letstalk_fpl then they've both also wildcarded this week and are reasonably competent managers. They may discuss a few ideas on structure and players and fixture considerations etc which could help you out :)

That's because I WCed last week Image

Midfield is where you'll find it difficult imo. Plus, you'll want multiple Man City and Sheffield but they blank 28. That's where you'll need to balance player selection and plan transfers imo.

I'm aiming to save FH for the end of the season.

Looks good! Not many options atm for Fernandes spot, so might as well punt on him. If it doesn't work, you can get Mads GW 28.

Ive not got one Man City player at the moment and wont be doing until after GW31 blanks

I dont trust them or pep line up anymore, especially now they be concentrating on the cups.

Don't particularly like the Soyuncu pick but apart from that I think you have a good argument for the rest of the squad

I feel Leicester be a good investment again soon when there fixtures pick up and when Ndidi gets back to full fitness hopefully there clean sheet potential picks up again.

Who would you recommend in place of him ?

This team has the perfect amount of Wood.

The rest of the team looks pretty good as well.

Seen as Burnley have no Blank GWs, ive swapped my bench keeper of McCarthy and 0.2 ITB to bring in Pope and will try my best to Navigate through the blanks and then use the FH on a DGW and and BB On the big DGW.

I will be playing Henderson all the time and just have to put up inevitable big points i will have to leave on the bench with Pope

That's no way to talk about Bruno Fernandes.

Never knew you was not allowed to do that TP, im not up to date with all the fiso do’s and Dont’s just yet.

I am aware that threats are not allowed on here, so i wont be doing that again, but if i have to pay you that Β£20 after all the stick ive given Chris Wood this season, then you may get some abuse in your inbox πŸ˜‰πŸ€£

While your here, is Charlie Taylor going to start all prem games now if stays fit ?

You guys have no blanks at all, so ive currently brought in Pope and Taylor for the blanks and i know Pope 100% starts, but not sure of Pieters still a threat to Taylor, as at 4.2 he is a bargain for you lot the way they can pick up clean sheets
