Thanks! Let's see how the season goes. No doubt many changes will be made to this team before kick off!

@@averagefplguy Understandable. Same with my team. My second draft is already changed a bit. Trying to get 4 players from one team.

Thanks so much for saying that, I'm glad it helps! Thanks to you as well for your support all season! Hope you have a great gameweek!

Thanks! Preview/review video about to come out! Not the worst gameweek given I was battling bench boosters! Hope it went well for you!

@@averagefplguy Managed to break 100, but still got an average red arrow. Staying inside 1 mil though in OR.

@@FPLEsto That's still great though! It's so competitive!

Thanks!

A better week than this week is currently going that's for sure!

@@averagefplguy Ouch for this week then

Oh yeah, it was definitely one of those gameweeks where a couple of different decisions could really have increased our scores. Looking back though we were always going to have triple Liverpool and captain Salah; so easy to think we'd have done it differently, but there's no way I would have haha!

Yeah totally! I guess it depends on how we do against just active players, rather than overall! I'm wondering which will be good differentials compared to managers in the top 20k.

I guess it depends who you'd be taking out from your midfield for Bruno, for me it would have to be Garnacho. If you can try and plan out what your starting 11 would look like over each of the next 4 weeks and what your bench would look like; how many points you'd hope for from each player. That might help you on who to sell. If you end up with an expensive player on your bench most weeks maybe that's where you could save money to upgrade to Bruno. I'd still have a cheap player on your final bench spot. I'd honestly maybe be tempted to sell Jackson before I sell Trent - now, this could definitely backfire but I'm just not sold on Chelsea's consistency. Hope that helps!

I think Bruno looks like a great player to get in as well! Could be a possible one for me too, I'll probably be considering it right up to the deadline!

Yeah I noticed that too after uploading. Davies or Van De Ven would be good options instead.

Haha thanks appreciate it! Let's see how this gameweek goes, there's still the potential for late changes but at this moment I'm happy with the team...and its risks!

Interesting! I was talking about this with someone the other day; I actually think the bench boost is the most over-rated chip and it could be used in any gameweek. The way I look at using mine is, put your starting 11 in your line-up; if you then look at your bench and think ''I wouldn't mind starting them this week'' then go for it! At this stage I think if you know all 15 are going to play then I'd be tempted to play it, with no wildcard left it'll be difficult to set up against rotation in the last few weeks. Hope that helps!

I do for my team, but I do also feel personal loyalty to Watkins as he's not let me down all season! Seriously speaking though, Solanke's two away games are fairly tough, and Bournemouth don't have too much to play for - I also think Villa will be very motivated for top 4! There's an absolute possibility Solanke could outscore him, but I think you could pick either and end up looking back thinking ''Of course I should have gone for the other guy!!''

I guess only time will tell!

Thanks!

It's such an exciting time in FPL, let's see how it goes!

I just think he's a great option! Fixtures are maybe the best around (Brighton, Sheffield, Everton, Fulham, Bournemouth) and Luton in Double GW 34, which is a great fixture from an attacking point of view! Plus he's on pens, guaranteed to play, and motivated to get in the England squad! I reckon he'll outscore other options like Nunez (inconsistent minutes/form) or Isak (worse fixtures till 35) - prepared to be wrong, just what I think!

Yeah for sure, I'm thinking of maybe doing more videos for different strategies/chips left.

Thanks! I'm happy with the last gameweek and maintaining rank; there's always things that could have gone better but I've definitely had my share of good fortune this season!

I think because Gomez can play all across the back line it makes him more consistent for minutes and Trent should be back soon.

Thanks! I think I'm leaning towards free hitting in 34 and then wildcarding straight after for the remaining 4 weeks and focusing on the other doubles that way.

@@averagefplguy 👍

Hey, so out of the four options I like option 3 the most, but to be honest I think if you're taking a -8 with 8/9 weeks to go and still have a Wildcard I'd Wildcard if it was my team (unless you already have a plan for that). I guess you're waiting for the double to bench boost.

Hi, So I personally definitely wouldn't take a 12 point hit to do that but I think it would take 3-4 weeks to make those transfers without hits. If you definitely want those players then a wildcard would be better as there's only 9 gameweeks left anyway - try and work out if you can cover double gameweeks as well with it, unless you still have your free hit. Though I wouldn't do anything yet in case there's injuries over the international break (unless you can't afford any price changes). I would prioritise getting Salah in before Son as well. Hope that helps!

Thanks! Let's see how the rest of the gameweek goes!

Thanks! Appreciate it!

I always try and avoid hits if possible. I guess it depends how much you feel like going for it/what the rest of your team looks like? Do you still have your wildcard and when are you thinking of using it?

@averagefplguy I do hve my WC. When I use it not sure. Rest of my Midfield is Foden, Son, Gordon, and Hee-Chan

​@@kse7en496I think if you still have enough funds to upgrade to Salah when he's back then you could. If it was me for my own team I wouldn't, but that's mainly because I'm not a fan of hits and would just wait a week to make the same move!

That's why I usually wait for transfers...the one time I don't!

@@averagefplguy yh, I went early this week too, yesterday I did Ake to Branthwaite and Solanke to Watkins -4 as I was going to be priced out. (Watkins always disappoints when I own him lol) Also, these videos are definitely improving a lot, certainly since I first came across your channel

@@KieranWest185 Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. Still trying to improve them but it's finding the time!

@@averagefplguy 👍

Well that's just great! I still have one free transfer I could use if needed. Might just go for a cheap striker and then plan to upgrade someone to Salah.

I would bench Richarlison to be honest. He could obviously still do well, but compared to the others and their fixtures he'd be the one I'd bench if that was my team.

I think it's the best time to use the triple captain. Even if it doesn't work out, as it stands there won't be one with a bigger upside all season! In terms of the free hit, it depends on how many players you can get out without using it. If you can still get 9 or 10 players then I'd just save it for later in the season.

@averagefplguy just worried if he will be in the right mindset, I heard his grandmother passed away

Thanks, you too! Going to be an exciting few gameweeks!

@@averagefplguy True

and I ended up captaining Foden...

I guess it's a combination of the blank gameweek and player rotation. When Salah is fit he'll be straight back in!

Thanks, not a great gameweek, but hopefully pull it back again!

@@averagefplguy Same here, but managed to stay inside 1 mil.

Yeah I hope so too!

At the moment I'm happy just to keep it. There's the option to use it when the international competitions finish. I think I'm going to wait and see where the blanks/double gameweeks lie, or at least more of an idea (unless I need it in the meantime). I wouldn't panic, there's not a bad time to use it if you need to make lots of changes.

Thanks! Be interesting to see how this one goes with the long gameweek and less big hitters!

@@averagefplguy Getting the captaincy right matters more I guess.

Well I've captained Bowen haha! Hoping the extra week will give him time to recover. Vice captained Watkins so hopefully a return somewhere!

@@averagefplguy Quite differential captain picks.

Thanks! Haha, well congratulations on your season so far! Be interesting to see how our teams end up, good luck!

Thanks! Yeah hopefully some different ideas!

I think you could go for any three of Richarlison, Gordon or Olise - In that order, for me. I guess it also depends on if you have Haaland or if you need funds to get him back in (if you've also invested in TAA etc.). If you need him back in then I'd just go for a cheaper option and maybe run a 3-4-3 with Haaland and two mid price attackers like Solanke and Isak (or even Joao Pedro!). Hope that helps!

I guess it depends who you've got on your bench that can cover one of them till the following week. I'm never really a fan of taking points hits, I think you could get away with just getting Bowen in this week and Richarlison the week after. I'm prepared to be wrong but I can't see Richarlison getting more than 6 points against Man Utd, which would mean you'd only break even on your points hit. Hope that helps!

@averagefplguy you're a legend. thank you so much. I have Gordon vs City to cover for this but I'm a bit worried about a price drop for Hwang. Already did Salah to Bowen. Thanks man!

No problem at all! You should be ok for the odd price change without it having too much of an impact, I've also already done Salah to Bowen and waiting on the other transfer for a bit as well!

Haha you know what I never saw it like that! I guess it makes people engage more with the video!

Hey, happy to help but you can probably find a lot of people better than me at it! I use powerpoint for my graphics and OBS for the audio; I think a video I used when I was first sorting it out was this - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibKHgs2Gq6m2ZYE.html Though I basically just messed around with it for a while before I got it to this, which someone could still argue isn't perfect! Hope that helps a bit, good luck!
