Could go Hojlund or Watkins over Jackson. Find a way to get KDB in the 5. I don't think the chip strategy matters that much. All about player selection. I FH during that blank GW and got a red arrow. No FH this week and got a green with Eze, Branthwaite, Mateta, Double Arsenal defence hauling. Yes, but the chips allow you to select players you couldn't usually. They're not only effective during the week they're played. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’ve already used your wildcard you’ve been loading up on Chelsea and Spurs. Or you’ll be taking hits. ol boy is going back on top. 20 points off the bench. And a Foden haul tonight.

So I think chip strategy is pretty important. I've had to load up on shitty Spurs players for weeks cos of my chip strategy hopefully get away with it.

Erikse Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Spent 4 points bringing in Ederson and put Pickford on the bench. I really thought Brentford would score, they have been doing that a lot lately, and has Mbeumo back. Got really punished.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Lad in #1 has done the revolutionary thing of picking good players from good teams. Thats usually my approach but I’ve followed the doubles here. A CS for Arsenal would be horrendous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I went for Ederson instead of Gvardiol is because Gvardiol sometimes gets subbed at halftime. Guess what, Ederson gets subbed at halftime.

Guess what, Ederson gets subbed at halftime. Same. I wanted a guaranteed starter from City's defence so went Ederson. Will probably bring in the backup GK anyway. Tempted to go Pickford however. I'm in a paid league where my rival wen Gvardiol and he's overtaken me. I'm in another paid league with @KDT that's pretty close too. I hate that I'm dependent on Chelsea and Spurs assets to win my mini-leagues. Spurs are so predictable. Chelsea are shit.

Wullie Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I mainly play the Bet365 version, I'm hanging on in the top 1k which is £100 prize (it's £175 from 500 up then goes up and up, top prize is £50k), my wife and I have different teams but we're only a couple of points apart. I've never been so annoyed about anything for ages as my decision to bench Havertz yesterday in favour of Mateta, what the fuck was I thinking? The extra 10 points was worth about 100 places.

The prizes in offical FPL are shit. For a game with 8-9m active players, I think only the top 10 win anything. Give the top 1k a prize. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for a fact but he left the game with his arm in a sling. Based on assuming the worst, I've assumed he's done for the season.

Sure. Would just suck to bring in Ortega, only for him to be benched for the double. But I agree, it looks like Ederson is out for the season.

This doens't help us much. May have to buy a GK from a different team now instead, if this is all we're getting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yehhhh. I really wanted 2 FTs for the double / GW38 so might just roll with what I have and see if Ederson's back for the double. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
