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!

Oh dear Potty! I hope you and Samantha are ok. Apologies again for not doing my Metro team I completely forgot about it. I will do it for GW21. If you don’t sack me in the meantime. I know how ruthless you are.
Josh721
Hey initt, I just replied to your email.
inittowinit
Thanks Josh I will sort out your Potty winnings now. Should be credited to your Ladbrokes account tomorrow, assuming my contact is in work…. Get on my case if it hasn’t been though please.
inittowinit
Josh, lol sorry mate I have just read your e-mail – that’s fine. I can’t donate it anywhere as such as it’s a free bet so I may ask them to double the GW21 prize to £20 as you suggested, if that’s still ok with you?
Josh721
Yeah that’s fine with me!
TheDreamers

My UK geography is shite.. It be like me telling you that I live in Kilflynn. I tend to measure UK locations by distance by taxi from Heathrow and Stansted
B-Bash
Cheers mate!! 😉

How does this look:
Marshall-Ruddy
Coleman-Koscielny-Bardsley-Ward-Chester
Walcott-Sillva-Oscar-Gerrard-Eriksen
Aguero (alt until,his return) Suarez-J Rod
Possibly be able to afford Hazard still until. Aguero returns
Thanks
The B
Planning to play the WC once Aguero’s return is announced and official. Team for GW21 should be this, with 3M in the bank.
Marshall
Coleman – Dawson – Collins
Hazard – Walcott – Silva – Lallana
Suarez (C) – Lukaku (V) – Remy
Subs: McGregor – Olsson (Nor) – Lucas – Chester
Was thinking of taking a hit to bring in Adebayor for Remy for a hit, but not so sure at the moment.
TheDreamers
why for a hit if 3m in bank The B? Who else you selling
The B
Already brought in Lallana this week.
B-Bash
B
Good team mate.
Wouldnt take a hit to change a striker thay will start imo
The B
Thanks Bash. I hope Remy does something as City concedes in away games.
Josh721
The B – Adebayor went off on a stretcher on Sunday. I haven’t heard anything new about it, but wait for some news before taking a hit to bring him in.
The B
He tweeted that he’ll be back.

When you’re not on your WC, and have been used to having gameweeks every 3-4 days during the packed Christmas schedule, 10 days is a long time to wait for another round of FPL and Premier League football… I’m becoming addicted!
Josh721
At least it’s not an international break!!
jamesimmo
Yep true, an FA Cup tie vs Spurs to look forward to!
Josh721
Or a game against Swansea, depending on what club you support 😉
B-Bash
That was a busy period Jim! Family were losing patience with me for sure! Ipad then phone then ipad! That was only tryin to sort team, them at kick off, it gets worse!!?
Yep……….addicted!
jamesimmo
Haha it’s true! For me it’s nagging..’oh James you’re always on your iPad’ and ‘addicted or what! blah blah – an iPad school gave to us to do work on – but that hasn’t materialised in recent weeks! I agree, kick off signals the rapid decline in other social interactions… …so yes, very addicted 😉
B-Bash
Lol! You mentioned school Jim. Amazing the age ranges this fpl brings! Thats by no means a put down btw! You obviously know your football mate!
jamesimmo
Yep! Playing with the men in my dad’s work’s cash league though! Turned 17 recently.. at sixth form now taking 5 AS levels. Haha why thanks, nah I didn’t take it badly.. if it’s not too personal how old / what do you do yourself mate?
jamesimmo
Tinkering about with my team, for fun, and also future WC ideas…
In short, which set of players do you prefer:
A} Baines, Kompany, Gerrard, Rodriguez + 0.5m
B} Dawson, Shaw, Eriksen, Agüero
Also, is Shaw nailed? Like I say, just experimenting… any thoughts?
B-Bash
Dont see Kompany or Eriksen aa worth it mate!
jamesimmo
Hmm.. okay, well then change Kompany to Coleman / Mert (would be a double up either way, have Sagna) and Eriksen to Lallana?
The B
Dont really like Kompany there James, in option A.
But i think having Baines would be really essential, especially when we know how important set pieces have been this season. Ill work really hard to bring in Baines but would struggle to have 2 heavy weights up front.
B-Bash
Right. Bedtime! Night fellas!!!?
