Yeah, shame I haven't got him...!
Anyone drafted a wildcard team?
I have.. but my goal is to have different players than the guy Im chasing, so dont Know if its useful.
It will be really hard to crack this wildcard for 34+bench boost in 35, as the big teams have CL. I think Pep will rotate.. From Spurs, Kane and Eriksen rarely gets rotated
Ryan / Foster
Duffy / TAA / Doherty / Kolasinac / Vertonghen
Mane / Martial / Deulofeu / Eriksen / Bilva
Jimenez / Kane / Lacazette
Ill sub Ryan for Patricio and maybe Duffy for someone in GW35.. From GW36 and on, I'll probably load up on some City players again
Your cons had me rolling around
Who did you captain and is your name referring to a Chuck D lyric?
What a dreadful week, I spent 12 points to get a squad to compete and have 15 points combined from 7 players with only Azpilicueta, Rüdiger and Pedro to go - two of whom might not even play. And 7 of those points have come from Wan-Bissaka who I had anyway.
I have only 10 points over 2nd place in my league after being 100 points above just 4 weeks ago. I needed to make some amendments so I have gone and done two paid transfers again, and shortened my squad by another player having transferred Batshuayi out for the cheapest forward available to open up funds.
My team now:
Lloris
Azpilicueta Lindelöf Laporte
McNeil Mane Sterling Pogba Son
Aguero Wilson
Bench: Wan-Bissaka, Clyne
Technically I also have Speroni and Madine but neither will get any points of course and I only got them because of price. I will be using just 13 players which at this point of season makes sense I think.
That midfield gives me hope.

Don't you have the WC left? Thought anyone who does is gonna use it this week.
No, I used it long ago to chase a 150-point deficit. I got 350 points within 4 game weeks after doing that and went top of the league, it was definitely a good choice to use it back then.
5 weeks to go and it seems like there will be 70 points between 1st and 4th place in my league and max. 15 points between 1st and 2nd. Anything can happen. I feel quite good about my team.
Ah okay
Just looking at my work league (don't even work there any more).
Guy chasing me has wildcarded but not noticed the blank gameweek. He's on 2 points
Another has done similar but has 16.
Another has triple captained Fraser.

Why is everyone wildcarding now?
There's another gameweek before the double isn't there?

WC now, BB the DGW
aahh yes. Knew there was something I was missing! Cheers
Can't decide on my keepers.
On Patricio and Foster at the mo. Might do Ryan for this week and transfer the next.
If I have 1 FT this week but am wildcarding, will I have 2 next?
Also not sure what to do with Pogba. Don't really want him in, but not sure who else to go for.

Thinking Kane might be the only viable option for a premium striker?
Even then, he's a bit shit for FPL this season isn't he?
I can actually afford two premiums if I ditch Pogba for Jota, which I think might, but I kinda like the look of Jiminez Deeney + premium to be honest.

First attempt at Wildcard and Bench Boost planning:
GW34:
--------------Ryan
Laporte - Vertonghen - Pereira
--Son - Jota - Mane - Hazard
---Jimenez - Aguero - Vardy
Bench: Patricio - Deulofeu - Kolasinac - Valery
Ryan has 2 games, Bournemouth H and Cardiff H.
Hazard is playing Liverpool, but he is one of my differentials so I want to keep him.
Bench Boost in GW35:
Patricio - Brighton H, Arsenal A
Deulofeu - Huddersfield A, Southampton H
Kolasinac - Palace H, Wolves A
Valery - Newcastle A, Watford A
Pereria, Vardy, Mane and Hazard only play 1 game in GW35, the rest have doubles.
Thoughts?

Check out Duffy and Dunk. Or at least one of them for this gw coming up. They might be a shit team but have 4 games in 2 gameweeks.
I kinda wanna keep Vardy too but I can't not go for someone with a double.
I have Ryan to cover the Brighton defence. I guess doubling up is an option.
Yeah. I've gone for Patricio and Foster in net. Double Brighton defence with Dunk and Duffy but I'll take one out. Maybe both if I have 2 FTs.
I am currently on a WC with:
Thoughts?
Ryan - Gunn
Duffy - Robertson - TAA - Bennett - Femenia
Mane - Sterling - Jota - Tielemans - Fraser
Kane - Jimenez - Vardy
Duffy - Robertson - TAA - Bennett - Femenia
Mane - Sterling - Jota - Tielemans - Fraser
Kane - Jimenez - Vardy
Thoughts?
Very nice team, would think about Duffy > Dunk and see if the extra money can get you anywhere.
I'm bringing in Ryan and Dunk this week.
I feel a bit mental considering getting rid of Aguero on my wildcard but i just don't think he'll do as well as Kane. And having both in the team destroys my midfield.
First thought is why would anyone want any Bournemouth players when they've blatantly packed up and gone on holiday. Can't wait to get rid of mine.
Also you have the same issue I do in stacking midfield and attack and that is who will you bench from the front 8 when you've presumably used your bench boost in 35? I guess you could roll a transfer and downgrade a mid/upgrade Vardy when their fixtures turn pants. Is that the plan?
Cause of their next 2/3 fixtures. At home against Fulham is a prospective match where they can fetch some points.
Yeah, almost. Tielemans goes after GW35. Planning to keep Vardy for the Arsenal game though following which getting rid of him as well.

Will Kane play against Huddersfield do we reckon...?
Not sure he will.
Not sure he will.
Early Saturday game, so think yeah.
Yes. Unless he gets a knock against City. Would be madness to mess about in the league with Arsenal, Chelsea and United breathing down their necks. Chelsea can leap frog them tonight.
Thanks Hazard.
Now if WHU could get three that would be grand.

In the absence of the real life picture of Chelsea dropping points today, then one more goal for Hazard and one for Luiz would really help a brother out!
But i'd take anyone not called Anderson equalising (ideally after Luiz goes off "rested" on 60-80)

Strategy wise, I'm looking at not making one this weekend, and then use 3 next gameweek for -4 to stretch 7 doublers to 10, and play the benchboost.
Brighton might make me re-consider that, having doubles 2 weeks running, but it's this week that the games are appetising, and next week not at all.

Im at least 80% sure he will. Plays all league games and is rarely rested. Eriksen is also my pick, and Ive taken a look at last season here too - Never benched before the big european games.
If Chelsea are to win, really need Hazard to notch up a few more, assisted by Luiz, who goes off at 70 minutes, then Felipe Anderson bangs in a brace and Azpi gets a red card for no reason. Please let this happen.
Need West Ham to score asap.
Good lad Hazard.
Nice wee differential as no one else in my league has him.

I will be at 75+ points this GW with AWB stuck on the bench.
Picked the wrong captain again from Hazard, Vardy & Salah.
Can't moan though. 72(-4) from 10 players. Felipe and Pogba out for Maddison and Hazard paid off.
On to the wildcard and bench boost...

Been good game, football much more enjoyable when both teams try to play. West Ham pushed us hard and could get point if Emerson didn't block that header.
Emerson needs be our starting left back. Kante shouldn't be in the attacking third. Higuain still settling. Too disjointed in attack and need Hazard to rescue us. Now rest entire Sunday team on Thursday.

All that is fine but how much did you score in your FPL though?
Should end up on 76 (-4). Mate below me in my ml got 25 I think he'll give up now.
