#FPL help required!

2 dilemmas:

1. Switch out Alisson for...who? Or just play Dubravka this week, Alisson next, and then reassess?

2. Switch out Van Dijk for...who? Or just play him and reassess later? I am not enamoured with possible replacements...Timber? Robinson? Chalobah? Anyone else?

#FPL Half-Time reflections

No.3 - CHIPS 🍟

All 4 chips got me green arrows so no complaints.

GW3 WC - started season no Haaland, went early w. Palmer injury & 2 blanks apiece from Bruno F, Watkins & Bowen. 6 green arrows in a row 👍

GW5 BB 🪑 14pts 🤷‍♂️

GW6 TC 48pts 🤖

GW16 FH 73pts w. no Haaland 👍

No. 2 - Who have I owned the most

18 GWs - Semenyo (didn't have him on Free Hit) & Rodon (never started but did come off bench in GW12)

17 - Dubravka

16 - Alderete

14 - Muñoz (until injury), Mateta, Van Dijk, Schade, Haaland

11 - Mbeumo

9 - Pickford, Caicedo

Its Half-Time in the #FPL Season. Time for some rambly reflections:

No.1 - CAPTAINCY

I went against Haaland 4 times:
👎 Watkins in GW1
👍 Saka in GW2
👎 Salah in GW14
👎 Saka in GW16 (Free Hit)

And when I say "went against" I mean properly against i.e. didn't even own Haaland in any of those 4 weeks.

#GW20 bus team 🚍 looks ok-ish but would like Gabriel just not sure who for? Calafiori makes sense I suppose but happy to bin NOR or VVD instead.

Others on watchlist include Bowen, Rogers, Watkins, Palmer, Saka...no rush on any of them though.

Ouch, early sub for O'Reilly #FPL

Knock me down and call me Shirley, a LIV cleansheet for my questionable Alisson/Van Dijk double up.

They're both still on the chopping block but may survive another week or two.

A decent start to #GW19 with 8 players still to play.

👍 Bruno G bagged his second 10 pointer for me
👍 Semenyo with a silly #fpl assist
👎 Already looking forward to binning Cunha
👎 Calafiori a no show

And most importantly, no yellow cards = no suspensions to deal with.

#GW19 Locked in

No transfers made. With only 1 FT and 2 players on 4 yellows, I decided there's slightly more power in rolling vs bringing in Gabriel this week & risk needing a hit next week.

Hopefully Calafiori will start if not I'll take Alderete's 1 pointer!

Unsure on Calafiori. Tempted to go Gabriel, though had been hoping to wait a few weeks and bring him in for Van Dijk i.e. double ARS defence.

Cover this week is Alderete vs MCI, not great but will play.

Help!

1. Roll
2. Cala -> Gab
3. Rodon -> a playing defender (who?)

Perfect week to transfer out Schade...

👍 Semenyo the only bright spot

But #GW19 looking pretty rosy. Only concern is Calafiori. Gabriel back on radar. Want to move Van Dijk/Alisson on at some point. Saka will come in, but when?

GW18 DEFCON watch ⌚️ Which players hit the threshold (and who came close?)

MUN: Martinez (1 hit out of 1 appearance of 60+ mins), Heaven (3/4), Ugarte (2/4), Dalot (2/12), Dorgu (1/8), Casemiro missed by 1

NEW: none

NFO: Anderson (11/18), Murillo (4/11), Milenković (6/18)

A lesson in patience....perhaps.

I transferred out Schade to fund Ekitiké to catch a price rise.

If I'd waited 24 hours, I would have kept Schade and downgraded the injured Bruno F instead.

Schade scores his customary one hattrick a season.

Typical.

Schade brace and double LIV CS wipeout. Not my week, again. #FPL
And of course Schade scores as soon as I transfer him out. #FPL at least I kept ThiAgo. #clutchingatstraws
December 27, 2025 at 4:17 PM
Calafiori out in the warm up. So I'll get Alderete's 17 pointer off the bench, phew.

Lovely goal from Hutchinson but Dyche needs to take him off set pieces, such a waste every time.
December 27, 2025 at 1:50 PM
Maybe O'Reilly is my route to Gabriel?

#FPL
December 27, 2025 at 1:46 PM
it strikes me that Howe's in-game changing of tactics is often a little off. I can remember at least 2 previous games where NEW have struggled against 10 men and today he struggles (so far) with an unforeseen back 4.

There are counter examples where Howe sets up really well for tough games.

1/2
