Did the planned transfer of Timber to Munoz today, should've done it weeks ago! Knowing how bad Saints are right now I did Rogers to Nkunku for a hit. Some regret already on that move, he wasn't even on my radar before today but after a terrible gw26 I felt like I needed to attack the good fixtures

Gakpo out for Capt Wissa this week. Hall vs Timber the only real decision to make, hopefully White stays on the bench. Players on my radar for next week: Jorgenson & Munoz or Gvardiol. Let's see how much damage Salah, Wood and Isak can inflict this week!

Dgw32 has helped clarify chip strategy for me: FH29, AM 31-33, WC34 Last week (94 points) was a rank killer (300k) for me, but I'm hoping 5 doublers this week will help claw some back. This week's transfer was Kulusevski to Dango. I'm reluctantly benching Gordon, could still swap him with Gakpo

Transfers for me this week Foden to Rogers & Duran to Watkins. That gives me 0.5m to afford Moyes (plan yesterday) but woke up with a plan to go chipless this week! Depending on FA cup results I'll AM 25-27 or keep it for 31-33/36-38 in the hope or more nice table bonus fixtures. Wish me luck!

I'm thinking about Mateta or Gakpo for Havertz this week. This year I'm trying to be more patient but that's backfired at times when I've kept out-of-form players for too long. Considering form, fixtures and minutes I think Mateta comes out on top. Anyone else with Havertz got a similar dilemma?

I thought I would go for Haaland this week but in the end his fixtures & history don't make up for his lack of form/price. Sold Semenyo & Kudus for Foden and Gordon instead. I'm passing on Isak so need some Newcastle cover! Duran for Cunha last week was a disaster but its done so I'll keep him!

Kulsevski in for Saka for me, cheapest of the Spurs attackers and nailed. Also brought Duran for Cunha - not convinced by this move but it does give me the option of Havertz to Haaland if I see enough in gw18. Otherwise I'll be upgrading Semenyo/Kudus. Who's going to be the Star this Christmas?

Do I sell Watkins this week? Possible injury and Duran lurking in his shadow. Obvious replacement is Isak but I held him too long at the start of the season and can't face getting him again. Havertz has the fixtures but he's quite wide and doesn't seem to have much goal threat right now. Hoijland?

2 hours before gw14 I decided to WC. Plan was to keep it until GW19 but my team needed surgery and seemed crazy to take hits. Pretty pleased with a 4th green arrow in a row and into the top 100k. Hopefully this is set up for Xmas schedule and I'll have 4/5 transfers to catch the swing in gw18

Tempted to do Foden to Mitoma or Raul to Pedro as I think Brighton score big tonight (sadly). But I'll roll as I've got my eye on a nice differential from West Ham next week - Kudus - and Ollie Watkins instead. Twende!

Gone for Palmer captain in the hope of catching one of his hauls. Got a feeling Saints will surprise us tomorrow and it won't be the cricket score some are predicting. But lunchtime KO after IB often disappoints so I'm prepared for this to backfire!

I think Lewis Dunk could be an interesting option over the next period. Brighton play SOU, ful, lei, CRY from gw13-16, all teams which concede headed goals. Brighton's setpiece threat is not what was expected from a Hürzeler team but these fixtures might help. Pedro/Welbeck could also benefit.

I look at a lot of FPL content on X and thought I'd get involved in the community over here. Was planning to wildcard gw13 as my defence needs an overhaul and I have no bench but I might leave it to Gw18/19 to get a team with Haaland. What would you do? (Dibling will be Haaland this week)
