Discussion 2024/25 EPL Dream Team Discussion: GW21 starts WEDS 15th JAN @ 5:30am AEST [3 GAMES]
- Thread starter tso
- Start date
Wildcard tactics -
WILDCARD 1... A) use it early to get your team into shape now we know the players to own or B) save it and play it when there is an obvious fixture swing toward big players you don't own. In both cases, play it early in the GW to get the price rises.
WILDCARD 2 - use it to capitalise on an appealing double game-week (rescheduled games due to Cup scheduling will be added to GWs somewhere between GW30-37)

Annoying not been able to see BE's now. Does anyone know where we can see these elsewhere?
Therefore my trades are around a mixture of increasing team value and score. Wanted to keep Rashford, but his value will go down and was only way I could get Mbeumo who has a resonable run of games ahead. Jackson will turn it around in the next few games.
Difficult decision this week. Would like to play Udogie, but not sure how I get him in the side. Bournemouth often get goals, so Torres is the only spot I see he could go. Bit worried about playing Haaland as VC as well. Think he will go nuts, but if he doesn't then I don't have a reserve to put on as C, so might end up with Jackson, Saka, or Mbeumo

To back this up - from GW 8-10, Arsenal, Chelsea, and even Man City fixtures are not great, thus you might use it then (if you don't need to fix your team up early) to move your players on to teams such as Newcastle, Liverpool, and Brighton who's fixtures open up. The key to FPL is fixtures; if you can manage your trades around fixtures you will go well.

Decided to take a 4 point hit this week. Actually wanted to have no trades earlier in the week, but there are a couple of team that have really good runs coming up that I had to get players in, so I got rid of
- Salah for Foden - Salah is great, but there fixtures are only just okay atm, until after GW 8. Might use my Wildcard then
- Mubama for Jackson - Mubama hasn't played a minute - means I keep Pedro as a back up.
Leaves 2.4M in the bank
Team value 100.9M

So word is that Enciso could have a long term injury, so Pedro is possibly back as a long term option.
With Timber crocked and Tomiyasu suspended, Gabriel *SHOULD* play this week.
So just as I dump Gabriel cos he's about to drop a pip, and I grab Gvardiol, Shaw now is out.
Watch Gvardiol get benched and me left holding my testicles.
All this cos I didn't grab Saliba instead of Gabriel. The butterfly effect can be so damn cruel.

Garnacho -> Alvarez
Szobo -> Bissouma
Lockyer -> Van de Ven
Nothing wrong with the players going out, but need to play the percentages and try make cash.
VdV or Kerkez? Could maybe bank the extra 450k.
If Spurs don't keep a CS, I'm likely worse off.
If BOU keep a surprise CS, I'm going to be much worse off.
In Ange I will trust.
