Also, until I put Foden in I had the Raya/Sels combo. In putting Foden in, I realised I’d need more in ITB to get Saka in 33, so Flekken has come in to raise funds. I think Flekken’s fixtures also rotate with Raya and I’m hopeful the Forest/Brentford game will be another double

I originally left Foden out but with the city fixtures, the potential double in 33, the supposed higher likelihood he’ll play with Haaland out, and all the £ I had ITB, I put him in today. He’s a punt and I need a differential, but I hope he hits some form and stays in until the end

This is my current draft. Plan to take the Newcastle lads out in 33 for Milenkovic, Saka and probably Wissa (should have just enough £). Then FH 34. And save all future transfers for 37 in case the FAC finalist fixtures are moved to 36

I had a similar, almost identical, dilemma. I’ve gone for the right option because:
1) Saka will probably be eased in and may be rested before and between the Real Madrid matches
2) I wanted Gordon>Murphy. Plan to take him out for Saka in 33 anyway (Going for the right option gave me more ITB)

This is mine. Plan to take the 3 Newcastle players out in GW33 for doublers (poss Milenkovic, Saka & Watkins). FH in 34. Then save final 3 FT’s for 37 in case of blanks. Went for Sels>Flekken for BB32 and Sels has poss strong double in 36 when Arsenal are away to Liv 🤞

…probably similar thought process to yours with a lot of what ifs. The possibility of City & Bournemouth doubling in GW36 is an extra reason for keeping Kerkez and Kluivert in my opinion, despite the lack of short term double (and very good short term fixtures)

…I’m planning a very similar wildcard. Will probably transfer out Newcastle assets GW33 (assuming there are doubles) for Saliba, Saka & Watkins. FH in 34. I’ll have lots of doubles in 36 if that’s when they’re rescheduled. Then hold my remaining 3 free transfers until GW37, that’s my plan anyway

I like your thinking, I think you’ll be more exposed in GW37 if Palace beat Villa in FAC SF and their fixture is moved to DGW36. This would be balanced by extra fixtures in DGW37, but is the main reason I’ll try to bank my transfers in that scenario

I’ve been thinking about this possibility too, or worse for poss blanks in 37, Crystal Palace get through. My team would have a lot of City, Bournemouth, and Palace/Villa assets for double GW36. I plan to FH in 34, so would save a max of 3 free transfers for GW37 after FH. Hopefully just enough
