It's hard to say. I was more thinking about RDT in terms of trades than FPL in terms of chips, but you could make a good case for a SF lineup involving some combination of City, Liverpool, Arsenal, United, Chelsea, Villa, Tottenham. A DGW with just a couple of them could offer potentially rich pickings from a Haaland/Salah/Palmer etc...
but with no real DGW before

Took him out of my RDT side before knowing about it and he will now remain out.
Pep Guardiola says Erling Haaland is "not comfortable" and has "niggles" after the Manchester City manager substituted his striker at half-time for the second pre-season match in a row.
"Erling is not comfortable," said Guardiola. "We don't want to take risks. But sooner or later he has to take a step with training and minutes.
"The season is there, around the corner. He has niggles, muscular, we don't want to take a risk and lose him for three weeks or a month. That would be a problem."

Okay, going to float this idea for a separate comp to FPL and RDT. I have had a chance to think this over since my last and somewhat lazy idea.
Here are the rules
- Select one player from each of the 20 teams
- Cannot select the same player for 5 rounds
- FPL scoring
- One C/VC each round
- Have to choose a captain from a different team for 5 rounds
- DG rounds are in play, as are rounds with no games
- A defender or GK must be chosen in one of every 5 rounds for each team. Cannot continue to choose Fwds and Mids.
- No subs if players don't play.
Example - Salah could be chosen as your Rd 1 Liverpool pick as captain, but can't be chosen again until Rd 6, and no Liverpool player can be captain until that round as well. VC only counts with this if captain doesn't play.
Let me know if this sounds like a more feasible idea.

I heard something about that, but haven't checked all fixtures.
I see the season has been extended by a week, but they'll do well to not have any EPL byes, given there's also European comps.
Anyway, I'm still going to keep a few trades until the end, cos you never know what might pop up.
A bad Winter might cause fixture postponements that will then be difficult to fit in once FAC and European games get serious.
