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

Morning,
I see there are rumours floating around from the Wolves message boards suggesting Nuno will make up to 5 changes!
Doherty most probably one of them
I would think so
Any one think I should do Richarlison to Maddison and play him?
Conscious if Nuno rotates I could have AWB and Richarlison coming on anyway.
1FT and 0.3. Plan do bring in Mane and Wilson next week for Son and Rashford.
Thanks!
I dont think you need to burn a transfer on an ‘if’.
I would save your FT this week.
Thanks dude.
Does Maddison have a better chance of points anyway?
I get the impression he doesn’t get the FPL points he deserves.
I have Vardy so I’m not looking for more cover just now but I may be interested in Harvey Barnes at 1 2mln cheaper.
You’ve got two pretty good subs there, I wouldn’t bother using your FT.
Thanks!
Hi all, hope you are well. Preping for GW31 will change on 32 is the plan.
For this game week how’s my line up? Should I perhaps change anything. Cheers
Son over Maddison I would say
Or Rondon
Morning everyone!
Am I hot to trot?
Cheers!
Your always hot Hun wether trotting or not.
.
Oh, you always know the right things to say, shnookums <3
Perfect Swirly :ok:
Cheers GP! Hope all’s well with you, pal.
Marvellous mate.
Yourself?
Great to hear! Yeah, all is good for me thanks. Just en-route to Manchestarrrrr for a few beverages. Some good memories there from July last year!
Enjoy mate.
Thanks mate!
I’m playing Pereira over Wan-B but twice this season I have had a grand total of 0 from my keeper amd defenders so what would I know.
The above is probably 50:50 so I’d say you’re good to go.
Morning guys! Going with the strategy of building up to gw31 and use chips on the dgw.
Am i good to go for this week?
Looking good to me. Even if there is rotation in Wolves, you should still have at least two playing subs anyway.
2FT, £0.2m itb.
Bringing Son out, mainly as an enabler for GW30 leading up to GW31 and GW33 – allows me to bring in David Luiz, King/Wilson, Higuain and Hazard to have 11 for both weeks.
a) Son -> Maddison
b) Son -> Barnes
c) Son -> Fraser (bench this week)
Also do I play Maguire or AWB?
Any other suggestions welcome!
I like the sound of Son to Maddison.
I’d go one of the Leicester boys and I’d play Maguire.
