Hoping for an announcement today on the DGW --- should be a few games stuck in over the next two weeks.
Hope so anyway as i've already hit the WC button
Same here, although I haven't activated the WC yet. Made 2 transfers last week (which weren't particularly successful) knowing that I'd WC this week so they better announce DGW 26 soon!Hope so anyway as i've already hit the WC button
Good luck for this weekend everyone! 
Just the one change for me this week, Raphinha in for Sigurdsson.
DGW26 fixture spreadsheet from Ben Crellin is up on Twitter. Looks like 17 matches next week, only 6 teams don't play twice. A big blank of a Gameweek soon too, this is when the strategy has to be thought out well.

Who else fell in to the "captaining Bamford" trap? 
He's rubbish! 
He's rubbish! 
To be fair, he's not really rubbish but I do admit, he doesn't do it often enough for me. Only Bruno, Salah, Son and Kane have more points than him but I always seem to miss his good weeks. That said, I have three £9 million + midfielders in my team so I have to go a little bit Asda Smart Price on my strikers.....

One more fixture to go. Doesn’t matter anyway, every f He's rubbish! 
ker in the game doubled up on him too!Think they call it "shielding" where you feel like you need to captain someone because everyone else is and if you don't, and your captain does well, you fall behind everyone else. I'd have been better off captaining Raphinha - he's got eight more points than Bamford in the last five weeks!

I went for a differential.... Welcome. Captain Stuart Dallas... :facepalm:
Well. That escalated quickly.34 points. Good call.
Ended up with a pretty successful week and pushing into the top 200k for the first time this season.
Hopefully follow it up with a decent bench boost this week...

No wildcard
No Bench boost
No triple captain
No free hit.

I feel an over-whelming need to laugh like Jabba The Hutt.
Don't let us stop you, Hypno.... No Bench boost

64 points here with 18 more on the bench (Richarlison and Stones included), not a great week but still clinging on in the top 3k.
Generally happy with my team except for the keepers who are Mendy (threat of rotation) and McCarthy (threat of letting several goals in). Might make a change there now.
Spent about an hour studying everything I could last night ahead of the massive DGW starting tomorrow lunchtime. Pored over spreadsheets, listened to the Fantasy 606 podcast, pored over some more spreadsheets and did some calculations.....
So this week, I've cost myself 4 points and dropped Bamford & Salah to bring in Kane and Traore. Gameweek 29 coming up has only four matches in it so a lot of people will have small teams that week. I've started to rebuild for that week with an eye on making sure as many of my team this week play twice.
Several of the teams that only play once this week play in Gameweek 29 so basically with my need to get Kane in, I left myself needing to bring in a midfielder from Aston Villa, Fulham or Tottenham as those three play twice this week AND in Gameweek 29 so it's Traore in from Villa and captaining Kane, maybe not triple though.

Dropped Salah?!?!
I'm currently sat with 11 double gw players plus a playing keeper and three Leeds assets.
I'll take a -4 to swap McCarthy for a DBL keeper... Possibly Lloris, Schmeichal or De Gea
I'm contemplating a -8 to swap one of the Leeds assets short term... Maybe Dallas out for wan bissaka

Yep me too. My boss is a massive Liverpool fan and he keeps insisting that they are due to destroy someone shortly. I've got bored of waiting. So two free transfers this week.
Salah - out, Fernandes - in.
Antonio - out, Watkins - in.
So who to make captain? Fernandes, Barnes or Gundogan? That's the crucial choice this week.
