@iconicreggiee@Beerdy_@FPLFocal Now add all other instances when someone from TOTS didn't play and one of the three subs came in (e.g. Gabriel missed 6 games in a row) and I'm pretty sure you would get very close to being in top100 managers in the world
@iconicreggiee@Beerdy_@FPLFocal + If you went with perma VC Bruno, you would have got an extra 60 pts in 28, 36 & 38 when Haaland didn't play + additional points from the one player you would've put 1st on the bench (if that was Anderson, that's an extra 15 pts). That would've put you on 2455 pts (700th itw)
@FPL_Dynamo@OfficialFPL@premierleague Yeah I won't be making a defender transfer anyways (I have to choose between ARS CBs, NOR, van Hecke & Lacroix), I have 2FT but with more goals in GW38 historically it's best to take a few punts with MIDs and FWDs. Looking at Kroupi, Rayan, Szobo and Salah if Haaland is benched
@D7azza@FPL_Harry There is a lot to try and benefit from this week compared to WC32 gang but I'm trying hard not to overdo it. Truffert, Bogle, Enzo, Scott, Ampadu, Gross, Welbz, Kroupi/Evanilson all tempt me but I only have to pick a few. WC32 gang mostly have Senesi, Struijk, Tavernier, DCL...
@D7azza@FPL_Harry My team is very similar, but I have 2x BOU DEF (I feel their form is something to try and benefit from) with Truffert alongside Hill + I don't have Enzo and Gomez in the middle but I'll probably go with Ampadu or Gross. I may have 3x BRI on the bench which I'm not too sure about
@D7azza@FPL_Harry I think there are a lot of solid MID&FWD options, but none of them make me scared of not owning them. That's why I'll go with just 2 up front instead of risking it with Kroupi/Welbz/DCL/Evanilson who may not start 2x & I'll try to load on DEFCON monsters in the middle instead
@D7azza@FPL_Harry ... Scott instead of Tavernier, Cherki instead of Semenyo). I'm not sure about Enzo though, he has a point to prove but Chelsea have been dreadful lately and I'll probably just have Palmer & JP. I have also decided to try and gain ground by playing 4 atb instead of 343 or 352
@D7azza@FPL_Harry I'm on FH33 but I felt like it would be better for us free hitters that O'Reilly remained sidelined, that would mean most people who used their WC in 32 would have to use a transfer that wasn't planned or ride it out with other players... now they don't have to do that
@AndrewMurt7625@TheKopHQ 5 is a real possibility imo. We have to play the Ev, United and Villa away and Palace, Brentford, Fulham and Chelsea at home. It's 3 games against rivals for CL and 4 games against teams that often (if not always) cause us problems. It'll probs be 3 or 4 but not impossible it's 5
@YazzLFC Nunez at Forest for me. One week before my first game at Anfield (Man City in 23/24) and it meant we were still neck and neck with City. Felt like we could play beautiful football and compete with everyone even with an injury-depleted squad. Oh how times have changed.
