Gameweek 31 Transfers & Captain • Deadline: Friday 20 Mar, 18.30

Post by jacksosi »

Something like this for a -4 :

Haaland -> Watkins (WHU)
I.Sarr -> Wirtz (bha)
Guehi -> Andersen (BUR)

That would give me 10.5 players for the week (L.Miley being 50/50)

Capt. Bruno (Ekitike)

West ham and Brighton very strong at the back lately sure about these punts? Longer term in mind?

I’m going to do a

Oreilly to thiaw/hall
And mukiele to Andersen

This leaves me with 2FT that will become 3 and 11 starters gw31

Bruno F is the only captain

Got 2 fts and can currently field 11 but don't think I can not have Bruno any more and Mbeumo just isn't getting the points so looking at:-

Mbeumo :arrow: Bruno
Chalobah :arrow: Andersen

If Timber isn't too damaged then it will be Haaland out for someone who will no doubt be useless. Bruno will be captain unless I'm brave enough to go for Wilson.

Timber not fit enough to make the bench against lverkusen.

Might look at ben white or hincapie

Wilson is fine and all but look at those fixtures Yama Hama it’s fright night.

Great for this week then he can be dango unchained or Gordon or szobo

Personally I fancy a bit of Gordon this week against Dunderland. He’s in form and hasn’t had a haircut

Mukiele to Thiaw looks to be the obvious option for me at the moment. Bruno is my likely captain.

Was aiming for a FH 31 as a few weeks back I had triple Arsenal, triple city, double palace but I’ve changed my mind as wanted FH for a double GW. Managed to scrape 11 GW31 but 2 of those are kroupi junior and Rio Ngumoha😏 using transfer to go timber to thiaw. Got over 8 mill in the bank, am thinking of a -4 hit to go Rio to Wilson and then captain him and then got 5 playing mids for BB in a future DGW

Jeez, so now Chalobah is out when I really need him (he really has been a thorn in my side for ages), and Miley has also changed back to red

That would leave me only 9 players even after a hit…the FH is winking at me Image

Edit...

Can't dwell on this anymore, it's just a game after all :)

Haaland -> J Pedro (eve)
I.Sarr -> Szobos (bha)
Guehi -> Thaiw (SUN)
Miley -> H.Wilson (BUR)

All done, -8, now time to go have some sunshine beers :mrgreen:

Maybe Rio gets a game with Salah crocked?

Activated the Free Hit, trying to decide the best 3 forwards. Currently have Ekitike, Tiago & Watkins. Alternatively Richarlison, Pedro, someone else? Money no issue, unsurprisingly :D

You might want to look at Fulham / Jimenez


One week punts not usually advised but Burnley is juicy

Or perhaps invest in a fifth midfielder

Apparently Vicario is out for a month so MGW? Or is there a better NF scorer?

Any defenders with an attacking bent?

I don’t think anyone on Forest returns except for the gibber

And frankly he puts up so many blanks I am not tempted.

Yates just scored a nice goal in Europe. Idk about him as an FPL pick though.

McGinn back for Villa should be considered he looked sharp in Europe as well


I am changing to Bruno F cap and Wilson vice for now


I think I should gone the default
Unless if something over the next hour can seriously change my thinking

Went with this in the end - held off because of Tark worries but going to risk it.

Bruno(c) so sorry everyone else who captained him :P

Bruno's going to be lucky to walk off the pitch at this rate 😂

Not sure Yates starts, but someone has to start scoring or it's the Championship 🤷‍♂️

Are the FBs looking like Assisting or is it Milo from set pieces that offers some hope?

Tbh everything positive for Forest seemed to go through the middle. This was a strange game in defence as many subs were made. Aina and Williams came on later. Defenders were more involved at set pieces than in open play (Dominguez scored from corner) but this opened up a bit as aina and Williams came on and got established.

Midtylland is no minnow and have scored in every match this season or something so whichever fullbacks were playing were often pinned back.


This is the first time I watched Forest in a while and it may not have major bearing on their premier league selections but I can see being tempted by gibs white.


The rest, especially the defenders are big stay away from me and this is someone who had sels all from
Gw1 last year and Williams most of the season.

I should add- I took a punt on Mgw several times last season and it left a sour taste in my mouth

Also this Tottenham match is a six pointer plus ou moins. Probably tight lipped stiff affair


And beyond spurs and gw33 burnley the fixtures are absolutely horrid. Probably the toughest run in in the league.

IMO this season Forest picks are for the lame hipsters who weren’t there a year ago with the real hipsters and trying to catch some fumes but tbh no nuno no party

Does this mean you wanted Gordon but couldn’t afford or you wanted but convinced yourself in the end you didn’t? A late decision to avoid?

I've gone Salah to MGW.

I already have Williams and Sels from last week who both got a clean sheet. Williams is all action but i think it shows up more in dreamteam than fpl (he's 5th best def in dreamteam despite forests lack of clean sheets).

I had Gudmundsson, Timber, Gabriel, Rice and Haaland with no fixture. So 9 players with a game and 2 FTs. I have value in Gabriel, Rice and Haaland but none in the other 2.

Figured I'd want Rice for his double and also I feared Gordon could sub off pre 60 this week. Xmins won out in the end, CBs ain't getting subbed and Andersen got his DCs hopefully Thiaw does well 🤞
