No Kun do…
When the week begins with the ever consistent Jimenez blanking against bottom club Huddersfield and then Doherty conceding a clean sheet in the dying minutes you could be forgiven for thinking it would be another one of those weeks. The truth is, it very nearly was. It took another attacking full back to pull us back from the brink really, as TAA weighed in with an unusual hat-trick of assists, a clean sheet and full bonus points for an unexpected haul of 18. Just as well really as the rest of them were a bit lacklustre. Digne got us a clean sheet, spoiled by an inevitable yellow, idiot that he is. Shaw and Pogba both chipped in with assists and Aubameyang got us a goal but it wasn’t quite the haul we were hoping for, especially when Liverpool score five at home and your captain is Salah…
All in all it netted us a reasonably respectable 55. Albeit just 2 pints above the average. It did however mean a small drop in overall rank of just over 1k places and we now sit at 36,274th.
Last week’s result…
Before we get going on this weeks decision we should remind you that;
THIS WEEKS DEADLINE IS; SATURDAY @ 11:30
This week’s transfer decision…
This week we had 1 FT and £3.4m in the bank, aka the Kun fund…
We’ve had a chequered history with Kun this season, most of it being black. With Pep usually only talking on a Friday and with us usually having to make a transfer decision on a Thursday we are often left scratching around in the dark in regards to whether to sell him, buy him or indeed captain him. The truth is that had we done this article on Thursday we may well have been edging very closely to buying him again. The fact that fate pushed us back a day meant that we had full sight of the pressers and in particular Pep’s revelation that Jesus has risen again. Coupled with Pep’s midweek comments about Kun being exhausted we have decided to swerve our original plan. Onto plan B. Or C…
Plan B was always to simply hold the transfer, and an eminently sensible one it would have been too. Until someone popped up with a whole more exciting and aggressive Plan C. Which was to chase the Fulham spiral, namely with Hazard. The fact that he also adds an extra body to our BGW31 team, along with a potential (very favourably fixtured) one for DGW32 helped pushed this over the line. The big downside was that we were £0.2m short of Anderson being the fall guy, and unfortunately Son has had to leave instead. We are sure we shall meet again though, some sonny day….
To confirm then; we have BOUGHT HAZARD & SOLD SON
Our Captain is Hazard, our Vice is Pogba
Hazard went full circle from not only not being in our team, or indeed not even being a faint consideration to be, to getting a full house of captaincy votes, all within about 30 minutes. Don’t ever say we don’t do things by halves!
Our team in full…
Planning Ahead…
We feel compelled to keep touching on this given the questions on the site about it. The truth though is that we still don’t have a definitive plan, and we may not do so until the remaining DGW32 fixtures are announced, which won’t be until after GW31, which is a bit of a Catch 22 situation in itself. We did ask for some serious planning suggestions from the committee though and we got 3 different plans back;
1. WC30, FH31, TC32, GW33 (use to 2fts to field 6/7), GW34 (save ft or switch to double players), BB35 (4/5 won’t have a double but 3 of those will be Liverpool).
2. Build for 31, FH32, WC34, BB35, TC ON A SINGLE.
3. Build for 31, WC32, FH33, BB35, TC ON A SINGLE.
All of which have their own positives and negatives, all of which probably leave us looking short for either BGW31 or BGW33. The fact that there were three laid out on the table as preferences probably tells you all you need to know in terms of there not being a correct answer at this stage.
Out of interest this is how our team looks in relation to the (admittedly finger in the air) Fixture Tracker;
All we can do really is keep an eye on it

Anyone heard chatter of Jiminez and Doherty being rested?
Heard the rumour somewhere, just wondering if it has legs?
Hopefully. I have no Wolves players so seeing Cardiff (H) beside them makes me nervous.
No, but Patricio will be rested because Ruddy needs game time before the FA cup v ManU. “Nuno – Shropshire Star”
Heard the rumour, but I think it’s just speculation from fans wanting to give Vinagre a run out and Jimenez a rest before Chelsea and United in the coming weeks. Given there is a week until Chelsea and another week until United, I don’t really understand the need to rest him (unless of course he is currently fatigued, but I haven’t been watching Wolves matches recently)
Puts me in a bit of a bind though because I’m considering a point hit to cover the pair of them but if they play I’d prefer to have them at home to Cardiff over my intended transfer
Yup. I have Barnes cover for Jimi but not much for Doherty
That’s what I’m considering for a point hit. The thing swaying me is that I’m pretty sure I will take a point hit next week in preparation for the blank so I’d onky be bringing it forward a week
Sounds sensible to me but if Jimi plays and does the business you’ll kick yourself.
Bloody game!
I did actually mean Barnes for Leicester!
I could bench Barnes and play Jimenez, but then I feel stupid taking a hit for a sub!
Ah I see. Yeah if you have no cover for Jimi then it may be wise
Wolves forum….believe what you will but this is the source as I understand it.
So Jimenez likely to start then Cookie? Not sure I want to sell Doherty; I bought at £4.4m!
Morning all, been debating my move all week and still undecided. My chip plan is FH32 so my intention is to build up my 31 players (currently 7). My plan this week was to get Hazard in for Son (as per site team… feel like big Perm and Danny G!) but a few days a go I started to fancy a slight deviation and get sterling in for his next 2.
So do I:
1. stick to Son to Haz
2. Bring in sterling for 2
My thought was that every year I overly prepare for a blank week and ultimately ignore players (Sterling) who I know are good picks and could in theory make even a -4 (for an extra player on GW31 itself) worthwhile.
£4.1m ITB
I did sterling if that helps
Id go with 2 Rosco. If you took this route, you will have 10 players for gw31,?
Rosco, what are your thoughts on Son? Spurs didn’t look great against Chelsea and he does blank in 31. Wondering whether it’s worth switching him to Son myself. I’ve still got all my chips and WC and need to work out some kind of strategy.
That’s what I’m thinking, I’ve watched their last 2 and it’s like all anyone is concerned with is getting Kane the ball, he just hasn’t looked as involved. Could do well against Arsenal and make me regret it but both Haz and Sterling have better fixtures!
Yeah I’m contemplating Hazard just because he plays in 31! That and Sterling is too expensive for me!
Would you prefer Son over the coming weeks and considering the blank or Hazard?
Is anyone cappoing Jimenez ?
He’s my VC – Sterling is Cap!
Anyone doing MLS this season? If so, any leagues to join? Got in a few H2H but no classics.
Theres usually a FF247 classic league.
I had a look in league codes but nothing there yet. I will have a look later on this afternoon.
Kruzcampo, right on cue, go to the next page, comment 47. Pottys popped up with a MLS league.
Hi all!
Not sure on which transfers to make this week, any suggestions? 2FT and 4m in the bank
Thanks!
Son to Haz if you want to build for BGW31 or Sterling if you’re not I would say
Sorry to FT’s. Maybe Laca to Vardy too?
JMD – How about Rich to Mane?
I like the sound of this move.
