FPL GW38 Summary 6️⃣7️⃣points OP: 2,538 OR: 48 ⬇️ Transfers used 39/40 Wow - what an unbelievable season! Think its fair to say that the ‘Sky Strategy’ experiment was a resounding success: 💥 A top 50 overall rank 🥇 No.1 in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 💪🏻 A couple of big mini-league wins #FPL

@FPLFocal Gudmundsson & Bijol doubts for 32 & if carrying anything might be an issue in the double. So Justin by default of those options, albeit he takes some sets too so not the worst pick anyway.

Who's the best Leeds defender outside of Struijk? Gudmundsson/Justin/Bijol

GW32 WILDCARD SPECIAL!🤩 All-time world number one @BenCrellin Joins @FFH_Fergi & @richclarkefpl to preview GW32 and discuss the Blank and Double GW schedule 📆 Thursday 4:30pm ⏰ Set a reminder here👇 youtube.com/live/MCEMBVSE3…

@olipoole Mercifully its a short turaround, so lets just all agree its too risky to cap him in 29 & move on…..problem solved 🤣

I see the FPL cartel debate is alive and kicking again. Can we just copy and paste all the nonsense from last time and save everyone the hassle? It’s good to recycle…♻️

@allaboutfpl @lateriser12 A benefit of being the undeniable talisman of his team. Thiago has scored the goals, but he’s having to compete with Teammates all across the pitch for bonus - Kelleher, Collins, Kayode, Dango, Schade etc. Other than Summerville recently, Bowen has had no such competition.

@lateriser12 Beside the DEFCON what stands out is Bowen's bonus potential. Bowen has scored 8 goals in 8 different games this season & has got 21 out of maximum 24 Bonus Points from these games.

Bowen is only 11 points behind Thiago over the season. Thiago has 17 goals. Bowen has 8.

@ArwynVobe @FPL__Raptor @FPL_Harry The open play stat sounds good tbf, but the increase in goals from set-plays across the PL as a whole has been well publicised & therefore cannot be discounted. Agree on Fulham being the litmus test, as thats the sort of team we’ve struggled to break down in recent years.

@SkyPlayerInFPL @FPL__Raptor @FPL_Harry I'm undecided on defence, Dorgu the exception, but two fixtures with an xG from open play <1 sounds very good. Fulham (h) will be a good indicator of performance against sides we should be dominating.

£4.3m Harry Maguire... Only concern is De Ligt being back but surely he keeps his place.

@FPL__Raptor @FPL_Harry As a Utd fan the mood is positive right now, but investment in a defence with only 3 PL clean sheets is some next level optimism

@FPL_Harry You’re such a Man Utd fan. Always refusing to buy Chelsea players, currently own 2 Man Utd players and wanting to add a 3rd. Just admit it, you’ll feel better for it ❤️

@ipredictapayet Whether its to be Ole, Carrick, RvN…..it serves a purpose for INEOS. The fans & media will get onside as its a former player “who knows the DNA”, & they wont have the likes of G-Nev going in strongly on their mates. Its an easy win for them, buys them time & nothing more imo.

@SkyPlayerInFPL That’s fair enough. The narrative appears to be that everyone is keen! It seems very bizarre and makes little sense. Strangely run setup to say the least. Must mean that they’ve got someone lined up for the summer who can’t come now?

Short memories them lot.

@ipredictapayet “You all”? - please don’t tarnish all Utd fans with the same brush as some of us are quite capable of seeing the wood from the trees 😉 Ole would be a major step backwards. Half the players there now are the very same that got him sacked. Its just another feel-good appointment!

@SkyPlayerInFPL I was referencing the hundreds of fans on here who want Ole back, not the actual guy posting it! You all seem to have forgotten that these scenes only happened at OT a couple of years ago. Of course we want Ole back, that’s what I mean by short memories 😂

@FPL_ElStatto Didnt he join on a pay as you play contract due to his injury record? With a couple of new fwds having just been signed, he may not get paid for the rest of the season, so no point sticking around.

I assume he has another club lined up as seems strange to terminate so soon after joining otherwise?!

@LetsTalk_FPL Agreed, although I wouldnt be averse to a midfield of Cas & Ugarte playing ahead of Martinez in a 4-3-3. Gotta be worth a try at this point 😂

@SkyPlayerInFPL Yoro did it recently off the bench. But it may just be a back 3 with Dorgu as a 10!

That Man United lineup might be Dorgu and Dalot as wingers either side 🤔 4-2-3-1 with Cunha in the 10. Or just a straight 4-4-2! Can’t imagine it’s back 3, would be a super weird setup.

@Jasper_Dunning @DanCoxFF You can call it hindsight if you wish, but I backed up my viewpoint with the decision not to get Cunha & instead wait for GW18 to play out for the reasons stated. The end result, positive or negative, could then be used to make a more informed decision for the better fixtures.

@SkyPlayerInFPL @DanCoxFF That’s a bit hindsighty? He had a brilliant first half and was super involved. The Mount injury completely changed the game/team state and his ability to effect it.

@BenrabahDjaber 7 career pens Only 3 scored 👀

Ekitiké in form. Ekitiké nailed. Ekitiké on penalties. Ekitiké vs WOL(H) and LEE(H) next Ekitiké is a must buy.

@FPLMatthew @aboveaveragefpl Tend to agree. mun, bur, CRY, LEE, wol: Can I tempt anyone on this guy instead?

@aboveaveragefpl Who is going to create chances for Cunha with no Bruno?

If Bruno doesn’t come back out for the second half it makes transfers super easy. Bruno -> Cunha Thiago -> Ekitike

@olipoole Reckon if Saka goes, he’s not coming back. The temptation to load on Liverpool from GW18 instead will be strong.

FPL GW17: 3 free transfers, £0.2m in the bank🤔 Enzo dropping in price and I'll likely sell for Wilson tonight. Considering Saka to Semenyo too. Saka could be a cash cow in the next couple of weeks & covering Semenyo appeals - could arguably even buy Saka back in 18!🤔

Semenyo letting the double digit haul midfield down. Hopefully makes up for it v Burnley next GW 🤞🏻

@JohnnyKerr70 @Hibbo_FPL I’d want to see us set up without Mbeumo, Amad & Mazraoui 1st before committing to that. Also think Wolves fancied they could get at us at home & went a bit more attacking than they otherwise would have normally. Not sure we see that again at OT & expect them to sit in more.

@SkyPlayerInFPL @Hibbo_FPL He's definitely on the shortlist and tempted but the Pep roulette would worry me more on him. Other option Bruno home to wolves and excuse to finally get him

People that captained Haaland this week probably drink pints of Carling.
