Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! – Fantasy Premier League 2019-20
With the resumption of the Premier League, and of course FPL, things are finally back to normal, right? Well, not quite! That said, what is normal these days?
Whilst we have all been diligently following government legislation for what feels like an eternity, football of any description feels like a welcome distraction for some, and others an unnecessary risk. Wherever you sit on that debate we respect your opinion. Whether you’re for or against football without fans matters little, that’s how it’s going to be, so let’s just suck it up and get back to why we’re here; FPL.
Maybe you used a Chip for the DGW that never was, blew your Wildcard preparing for fixtures that didn’t happen, or used your weekly FT’s during the lockdown perfecting your team only for everyone to be given unlimited Free Transfers. Dems the breaks kids.
With unlimited Free Transfers, Chips still to play and a whole host of changes to football that will likely have ramifications for our FPL season finale, we thought what better time to turn to our Amigo’s and see how they plan to see out their season in style before riding off into the sunset… ready to come back again a few weeks later.
Thanks for reading Grab, Avoid or Bore Off!. This article was written by Rosco.

I’m not saying this is anything major and I’m sure they will be fit for Everton. Robertson and Salah missed the friendly today with knocks
It’s certainly changed my tune. Was going to use UT with a mix of DGW and SGW players as I have no WC.
Decided to FH in the end.
No turning back now 😉
Good team. My only worry is the Villa defence. Just a thought, have you considered Targett to Egan and Fleck to Cantwell (with Mings staying on the bench)?
They should be fine for the weekend: https://www.google.com/amp/s/metro.co.uk/2020/06/11/mohamed-salah-andy-robertson-injury-updates-ahead-liverpools-merseyside-derby-clash-12840374/amp/
They thumped Blackburn 6-0, too.
A) Mahrez, Abraham and Lundstram
B) Sterling, Nketiah and O’Connell
Abraham only has the one game but Villa is a pretty good fixture.
A for me.
Would prefer Jimenez over Abraham, but finding the extra little bit of cash could be tricky.
Yeah Jimenez means downgrading Alonso to Gomez or Mahrez to BSilva
Interesting
Think I like it. I can have Saka instead of Cantwell
B for me I think
A, but DGW Sterling is tempting.
Go on then, rip it, BB squad.
Is the plan to wildcard soon after, Elle?
Yes Swirls.
I just hate Henderson. Looks good on the whole I like the Jesus pick
Hes just there as i have to have some LFC cover, think he’ll start, captain and depending what Citeh do.
Smash, thoughts on Laca instead of Auba. Saves a few bob and will probably allow me to keep Mo.
I think Auba starts both. Laca starts one is my guess
Evening all!
I’m Free Hitting in GW30 as I’m decently set up for GW31.
What d’ya think?
Oh and before you start, I don’t want Arsenal or Villa defenders or keeper!
Fine apart from (the) King – I think I’d have Ings or Jiminez instead or a punt on a cheap DGW striker if either of those two are out of reach. Or DCL?
Hey Kralin, I’m cashed out there mate.
I chose King as I can watch that game on the BEEN with my boy (we don’t have Sky or BT). I could just lose Mane for a week and get Sterling or Mahrez and then upgrade King.
You well mate?
Oh well, will be nice if it comes off. I don’t have Sky nor BT so may look at the Beeb or Amazon games, will see how it pans out.
All fine thanks. In this curious ‘what will happen next’ phase it’s not a bad thing to distract myself with fantasy football.
Fair team there Cooks, you’ve got 8dgwers. Not fussed on King myself and i’d keep Mane.
7 Elle as I’d play Cantwell instead of the Arsenal dude.
Hi Cookie. If you wanted a couple more attacking DGWers you could afford Saka (ARS) instead of Cantwell and/or Samatta (AVL) or Nketiah (ARS) instead of King.
If you did the Nketiah move, you’d have cash to splash on the likes of McGinn instead of Cantwell, or I think you’d even have enough to swap Hendo for Ederson and upgrade one of your cheapo defenders to another SHU lad.
Cheers Chip, in retrospect I’d prob lose Mane to Sterling or Mahrez for a week and upgrade King.
Just some ideas as I quite like it as you have the main double GW players in there. You could get Sterling instead of Mane. Another Sheffield United defender instead of Stevens. That will give you more cash to get someone better than King but he’s not the worst option I don’t think
Hi folks. Great to see everybody back again. Hope you are all keeping well and staying safe.
Like many, I’m torn between the FH route or the BB followed by WC option. Leaning towards the latter at the moment. Here’s my attempt at a BB team which has its pros (retains Salah :dance: ) and cons (double Villa at the back 😯 ). What do people think?
And here’s my current squad with no transfers yet, for reference. I’ll be sacrificing Ings and Traore for good, but will be able to buy back most of the others, with Jimenez instead of Ings, on my WC (I hope!)
7.7 on TAA, impressive. Not sure I’m torn.. Most likely I’m not getting something about the FH route advantages vs BB+WC so for me it’s not a choice. Making a team is proving quite difficult though, can’t have them all
Hello mate!
Here are my thoughts. First of all, I am in the same boat (that dilemma is killing me hah) and I will most definitely have a similar post to yours in a few days time.
I really like your BB team but:
1) you gotta check if Salah is okay cause I heard something about a knock that he picked up. He will probably be good to go for the derby but just something to keep an eye on.
2) I personally don’t like the double up on Villa at the back, so I’d suggest – Fleck to Luiz/Nakamba and Targett to Baldock/O’Connell/Egan/Basham (if you pick anyone beside Baldock then you’ll even have enough money for Saiss to Boly).
Even if you choose to play your FH, your team looks pretty solid.
Good luck :good:
Thanks mate. I will keep an eye on Salah. If I can offload him then I’m cash rich for upgrades elsewhere!
Not sure I like the SHU triple up at the back – too many eggs in one basket there – and I quite fancy Fleck to get a return, but I will mull on it.
Probably one to be more wary of with the amount of games coming up.
Good point!
😯 You got me worried now! :blink:
I think she’s got another month to go :big-lol:
But yeah he won’t be taking any risks
8 month-pregnant partner means risks should be pretty low.
