You also said to aim for 16 points like a normal double
Dubravka (H) v. TOT - 3?
Garner (H) v. LEE - 4?
Reinildo (A) v. WHU - 6?
Mane (A) v. MCI - 2?
That's 15 without anyone having a "stellar" gameweek
Considering bench boost this week with
Dubravka (H) v. TOT
Garner (H) v. LEE
Reinildo (A) v. WHU
Mane (A) v. MCI
How big does DGW33 seem? Would we have a full team of those doubling after WC32? I know you said there is obviously a ton of info to learn as FA Cup rounds go by

Any news on Robert Sanchez for this GW?
4 straight poor GWs after 7 good ones. Feeling very streaky right now. Wish I would have done Saka out and not Rice, but Arteta strikes again with his pre-match press conference.
Happy: have 5 Def I like with good CHE fixtures and reasonable EVE
Unhappy: lost all momentum in MID and FWD
Killing it!

101 all out. Almost into the top 2k.
The Wilson and Chalobah punt worked well: +20 on those two moves. Also brought in Tarko for Munoz in preparation for GW18
Surprisingly, WC13 has been super effective despite holding it to focus primarily on LIV and NEW
Debating rolling or staying aggressive
Now that we have gotten past officially having the 5 transfers and AFCON players leaving, what are the likely doubles coming? Any chance like last year where we would benefit from 4-5 transfers come GWs 24-25? Trying to decide how aggressive to be in coming weeks
Bro...this stinks
A couple more weeks like last week, and you are there! Only 30 points
Brentford is great! I heavily considered that as well but just didn't see super strong results from either (obviously fixtures can make form). They have each only scored over 4 points twice in 15 weeks. Just gambling on a 2-week spike with Chalobah (also probably not starting him against NEW)
Also, banking on us both getting in the top 13 in the @fplusaleagues.bsky.social #silver league to keep moving up
#FPLUSA Silver
It could reasonably be
RB - White
RCB - Timber
LCB - Hincapie
LB - MLS
...aka no one who started at that position prior to the most recent game (when we weren't good - gave up more than 2 XG for the first time in forever) and only one normal starter
Saw some discussion of double ARS DEF for this week - I know it is Wolves but the defense is SO much different without both Saliba and Gabriel - if Saliba is back, then a double up is reasonable but good luck knowing who plays when
Prior to the injury, I was set with Munoz like I was with Gabriel - he starts every week. But I have both him and Lacroix on the bench. I went Chalobah for a two-week punt before going Tarko in GW 18.
Virgil feels like the hardest one - will play every game, almost scores regularly but chaos @ LIV
These are great charts! Great little debate on @aboveaveragefpl.bsky.social about whether you can win FPL having these guys - they help ensure a great rank but do they help you get to the top
And the greens are coming soon! Stay patient. What are you thinking with the 5 transfers?
Yeah that's such a bummer - I did the game earlier in the year where he got like 2 returns in the las tminute. I feel like I was the only one on WC13, which brought in much luck with Foden. I did WC too early last year and regretted it so kept to @pras-fpl.bsky.social's preseason hype of GW13
So much of FPL feels like luck of bringing in the right people at the right time. Foden over Bruno on WC13. Bring in Bruno this week after a 2 week punt on Rogers. Bruno G goal from a corner. Feels like being aggressive at Christmas time has been a good practice for me. Trying Harry Wilson this week
Great FH!
Also bummed to not be owning some WOL assets for the upcoming period but seems like a no go
The most grey arrow on Free Hit. Frustrated slightly - went for punts with BRI and AVL, just picked the wrong two. Would have been a great green arrow.
Mostly did the FH to avoid having to make my ARS decisions yet - seems like Timber and Saka are inevitable for me. Gyokeres seems like a no go
I love that you are lifting up some West Ham players on the podcast - enjoying owning Bowen. Not sure about owning Diouf though - you can talk me out of doing him to Timber this week haha.
How are you feeling about Bruno? Debating Bruno to Saka but not sure if that will just be a bland lateral move
I am sitting here grateful that I have taken 3 price drops on Bowen so that far less people are racking up his points with me
Saved 0.5 to navigate some aggressive changes I want to make in the weeks ahead. Leaning a little more on the 4-4-2 to start and aiming to have the "best"/strongest fixture captain for the opening weeks.
Josh King is 100% in my GW1 team - maybe not starting though...thanks @planetfplpod.bsky.social
Agreed. I really want to spend less defensively but I don't know how to avoid Gvardiol (assume 6.5) and Gabriel (assume 6.5). Will be interested to see MLS, Raya, Saliba, Gabriel pricing.
Is Hinshelwood likely a DEF next year?
MLS is interesting - wonder what his price will be (5.0? 5.5?). He has very little offensive output w/ Arteta operating either at left back or as the deepest-lying midfielder by inverting.
Will Hinshelwood be a DEF?
DEF - Wan-Bissaka, Dorgu
MID - Odegaard if 7.0 (should be fitter)
FWD - Larsen
Thanks for doing it! Made it much more fun running after promotion. Excited for the silver league next year
