The Boot Room – FPL Fantasy Premier League GW21
With less than nine days to go and counting until the next deadline we all have plenty of thinking and tinkering time left… The January Wildcard is now available should you feel inclined to use it. Will you activate it immediately, possibly with a view to maximising your team value or will you wait until the transfer window has shut and judge what impact that has had, if any? Whichever you decide is the best strategy for you ahead of the next game-week we welcome your questions and also your advice to others. Please feel free as ever to post your thoughts, questions and feelings about whatever you want to but in particular if you would like others to take a look at your team ahead of GW21 and offer their thoughts and suggestions please post it below or link it and we are sure you will get plenty of feedback. Some of which may be constructive but we can’t promise anything!
Afternoon guys! I was wondering, anyone have an idea as to roughly when our next cup opponents will be drawn?
I haven’t used my WC so may suffer this week, if pitted against a brand new wild card team, which would be tough…
I wouldn’t let the cup determine when you use your WC, even if your next cup opponent has used his WC and you use your WC to counter it you’ll still have possibly another 3 GW’s where you could possibly have another WC opponent.
Best off just using your WC to try to maximize points return for your team and let lady luck have her way in the cup.
I’m sure one team in last year’s semi-final still had his season long WC available to him but just fell short of making the final, that would of been quite frustrating.
INJURY LATEST NEWS:
ROONEY – will be assessed before each game….ongoing groin problem
STURRIDGE – expected to be back in 7-10 days
ADEBAYOR – he is fine, just suffered bad cramp at United.
OZIL – expected back for GW21
one more…
WESTWOOD – needs an operation, unlikely to play again this season. Good news for those interested or who already own MANNONE
Unless Sunderland get another keeper, Cesar maybe?
true
Cheers cookie
Cheers cookiee!
Hey guys could you help me out for a minute please? My team is
Krul (vorm)
Merts Shaw Distin (Moxy & Turner-Cardiff)
Hazard Wally Yaya Januzaj (Barkley)
Rooney Negredo Suarez.
1 FT 0.8 in bank Team Value 110.9.
I wanted to bring in JRod and Adebayor for Rooney and Negredo for a hit just for 2weeks till I play my WC, is this a good move?
Just seen that Krul is a doubt and with Vorm out should I use my transfer on a goalie?
Or do I just play my wildcard? (which I wanted to leave till late)
Any help is good help
fulltime,
Krul is only a doubt for this week – I suspect we’ll see a number of players ruled out of this weekend (FA Cup) and then miraculously recover in time for next week.
Not sure you need a hit mate – maybe just bring one of the strikers in…..
Thanks Cookie Who would you take out? Negredo looked terrible last GW and Rooney (although injured) didn’t look like he was ever going to score playing CDM!
ft, out of those two I would remove Rooney, but that’s just my choice. At least Negredo can run and plays up front!
And who would you put in, just need a short term player?
ft – probably J Rod or Adbayor mate. Possibly Podolski if Giroud is still injure this time, next week.
For the past few days, I’ve been doing nothing except helping my friends with their team. I had three of them joining last week. Today, I found out one has already used his wildcard (despite joining last week and having quite a balanced team). One of them benched Eden Hazard and played Caulker just before the deadline. One of them just took a 36 point hit messing around with transfers. I understand what you experts must feel like!
lol Veer!
We feel like doing the same as your friends!! Sounds a lot of fun.
Good Afternoon fellow managers, morning for the Yank rebellion on here and Evening for…..ahhh who cares about the rest of you.
Morning Mito – all well ?
As well as I can be considering I just spent 20 minutes discussing how to make Arsenal better. I do feel like I lost a bit of dignity even contemplating the matter. I do love me some Diego Costa though. That is one talented, nasty player. Make Suarez look like a choir boy with all the diving and trash talking he does on a field. Don’t think Arsenal will get him though, Atletico are hard negotiators and know they can showcase him in the World Cup ( possibly) and get more money for him. Plus not sure he would want to move considering he could no longer play CL if he did.
Any chance you could get hold of Moyes and tell him how to make United better ? I appreciate it may take more than 20mins…..
Nope!! I will keep the last shed of dignity I have left by not lowering myself to also help United. One club I dislike is enough for one day. :p
P.S. Unless either get a Colombian then my dislike will have to be reassessed. 😉
Kop, you’ve got mail!
Cheers Milky, I’ve passed the message on bud
Thanks Cookie. Working fast here for both of us I see 😉
its all go mate!!
Haha, Kop is like “Will you have it by Sunday?” I emailed it to him now. Maybe I should have showed him my CV! haha.
If anyone is interested in a laugh: The South African cricket team (the Proteas) are playing cricket against the South African rugby team (The Springboks) for fun now.
Yeah but it hasn’t gone through the scrupulous editor yet, Milky !!!
I think the Aussie Cricket team is playing the English rugby team in the Ashes for fun also.
Haha Cookie, editors hated me at work, lets see if this is any different!
Who is checking Milky’s scruples? :hippo:
Mito I think the English rugby team could beat their cricket team easily.
