Apologies mate, I saw you had 3 FTs and thought it would be those you used.

What would be the number of points you’d see the BB as a success? On a DGW you’d say 16 is minimum (4x appearance points).

I’ll say do it because you feel confident in your bench players, not to get the BB out the way.

The way I see the BB is you either hit it organically, as in your team naturally walks into 15 strong players, or you build towards a DGW.

This year may be different but I’m not going to force a BB, I wouldn’t use 3 FT to use it unless it’s vs a v.weak team like Sou/Lei.

You could feasibly see that bench getting single digits, don’t think it’s worth using your 3 free transfers on mate.

Using them on free punts like Nkunku, as you did this week is a much better use of transfers with a higher upside.

I own Allison so not really an option to move to Pickford unless I want to move for a different 3rd Liv (with Mo/TAA)

Transfers made:

#GW21:
♻️ Roll

#GW22:
✍🏻 Jackson > Wood
✍🏻 Rogers > Amad (was gutted I didn’t make that move in 21, was very close)

Biggest challenge with Haaland isn’t the returns but the budgetary impact which relies on the cheap picks (Hall, Rogers, Amad) to return and the more expensive alternatives (TAA, Mateta, Wood) not to which results in swings.

Overall how has the Haaland experiment gone mate? Have you risen overall?

🚀 86 Points*

I really don’t understand 😂 I’m simply giving the lad hope the Haaland punt can still come good.

Absolutely mate, a West Ham team that just got demolished now go to City. Haaland will be licking his lips.

You shoot your shot and I commend you for doing it. I imagine you’re being half hearted, amazing season you’re having.

Unfortunately one of the downsides of owning haaland is captaining him. You did the right think. Going haaland does mean light in other areas (TAA) but I commend you massively 👏🏻

Good lad with Haaland (c), it’s the right call. Good luck mate

It does mate, thank you. I watched Grealish up against Cash coupled with Newcastle’s offensive form. I knew many would avoid because of their next two but ManU + Spurs I didn’t feel is bad then it’s a great run. Most own Isak now so it’ll be minimal gain, owning Gordon helps EV on Newcastle’s goals.

Good luck mate. Thank you, I had the Haaland route open to me this week but decided on Gordon as my Saka replacement rather than Dibbling then up to Haaland (coupled with TAA).

I felt there was value on Gordon which short term has paid off with good fixtures to come. Bruno sales to him too.
