My thoughts heading into GW22
[Thread]

Common questions I've been asked & will answer in this thread:

Why am I captaining Sterling over Salah
Cheap defence order (Dallas, Holding, Coufal, Cresswell)
Bench: Son? Soucek? Gundo?

(1/12)

Salah vs Sterling?

I've just brought in Mo after his haul, however I back Sterling for captaincy.

Why? Fuck knows. Gut probably.

I believe Mo will have reduced minutes against Brighton with City this weekend (could still haul with reduced minutes as we've seen...

(2/12)

...before).

Raz has been fully rested and I expect him to start (who even knows with Pep). I just dropped out of the Top 1k OR and want to go a bit differential with captaincy based on a gut feel. Mo will 100% be the most captained player this GW BUT he won't be mine.

Cheap Defence order?

Everyone has been telling me to start Holding over Dallas and Coufal.

Nah. Are Wolves shit in open play currently? Yes. But I always back the defender with a higher ceiling. Dallas, Cresswell & Coufal all have attacking threat, whereas Holding...

(4/12)

...does not. I've been made aware that Wolves haven't scored a goal in open play for a while, but typical FPL means they will against Arsenal this weekend.

Based on attacking output, my order is:

Dallas>Cresswell>Coufal>Holding

However if you have a double up on...

(5/12)

...WHU defense, then I'd start 1 of them (Cresswell>Coufal>Dawson>Ogbonna) and play Holding as well.

Remember Dallas is possibly playing OOP again so DO NOT bench him.

Bench

A lot of us were set up to bench boost in DGW19, meaning we have a fully playing squad with all amazing fixtures this GW, so who the fuck do we bench?

Son? SONaldo costs a ton and naturally I don't ever feel it's okay to wrench a premium. No form and no Kane...

(7/12)

...means Son isn't firing so it's logical to bench him with WBA next. Personally I wouldn't bench him. Spurs need to come back & Son is focal in attack (even if the team is shit currently)

BTW I sold Son for Salah this GW with the cash I initially kept ITB for Kane...

(8/12)

Soucek?

This is a hard one (that's what she said). He's currently on my bench but I can certainly see him scoring. You just don't know whether you're getting a point or 10 from him on any given week. It's a lottery. Look at your players this GW and go with your gut...

(9/12)

Gundogan?

The most in form player in the game currently & someone I've never backed.. (I'm an idiot). It's like Wijnaldum suddenly turning into prime Ronaldo... Anyway.

He's been City's best player recently, even with KDB on the field, but my gut feel says he will...

(10/12)

...be benched this GW or taken off early. Could still nick a goal as he's been doing consistently. Just don't be surprised with anything Pep does.

If you have a strong squad with Bamford/DCL/Son/Soucek on the bench, I'd likely start these guys over Gundo this GW.

Let me know if you've enjoyed this If I do go ahead with a YouTube Channel, this is more or less the type of content I'd put out with more detail.

Your thoughts? I'm sure a fuck load of you disagree, which is why I do what I want Gut over anything!!!
