Fantasy Strategy.
Deja vu. Last season with my team around 200k in the Overall Rank, I prepared for a big Blank Gameweek by selling KDB and Grealish. Then COVID shut down the league, but the transfer hits still counted! ❌
KDB and Grealish returned with a new schedule, a Double Gameweek, and I was forced to bring them back using a chip while others used an extra free Wildcard!
In some ways, managers who planned ahead were punished. We’re seeing it again right now as managers brought in City players on a Wildcard and their fixture was postponed due to COVID.
This season I have a simple approach to the fixture chaos:
“Take it game by game making adjustments as needed”
The idea is to avoid planning too far in advance because things are changing quickly. Once I reach the Blank and Double Gameweeks, then I’ll make more aggressive moves to target them, including taking hits. But it will be closer to the respective deadlines.
GW16 Review.
GW16 points: 49PTS (AVG: 37). Upper 90 Studios climbed to 180k in the Overall Rank!
The Results.
Andy Robertson (9PTS). A heavy knock to his ankle early on wasn’t enough to slow him down. Robertson picked up a clean sheet and maximum bonus against a well-drilled Newcastle side.
Stuart Dallas (12PTS). LEGEND. 😍 The Premier League is riddled with ridiculous new rules like linesmen not raising their flag when a player is five yards offside. Leeds United are the opposite – uncomplicated with non-stop action. What you see is what you get.
Bruno Fernandes (6PTS, vice captain). His assist to Rashford in stoppage time made the difference, but it was a disappointing performance in which he gave away possession 23 times.
⚽️ Bruno Fernandes ended the calendar year with 26 goals and 17 assists in 45 appearances.
Captain Blank.
Mo Salah (6PTS, captain). Back-to-back blanks against teams that defend deep. Salah and Mane rarely looked for each other in dangerous areas, instead forcing a difficult pass to Firmino.
Che Adams (1PTS). Much needed substitution and rest after taking a nasty kick to the head from Craig Dawson. Adams was unlucky GW15 with a strange rebound off the bar from a Ward-Prowse free kick, and he provided an assist to Danny Ings that was disallowed by VAR for offside.
Jack Grealish (2PTS). A constant thorn for defenders, always driving his team forward. Aston Villa are now fifth in the table with two games in hand. The concern is Grealish is on four yellows for the season. If he gets booked GW17, will he serve the one-match ban in the FA Cup?
Patrick Bamfordinho (8PTS). 🇧🇷
Son, Kane and Coufal did not play. I’m grateful that my team scored 12 points above the average while being down two players. I understand others might not have been so lucky. Some things are out of our control, it’s not a reflection on us as managers.
Players to watch.
Raphinha (8PTS) and El Ghazi (7PTS). Two affordable midfielders punching above their weight with a Double Gameweek 19 on the horizon.
Chips Strategy.
The plan is similar to the previous video >>> Minimalist Guide to Blank and Double Gameweeks. Transfers were pushed forward one week after a real injury to Lamptey and fake injury to Chilwell.
- Free Hit Chip BGW18
- Transfer(s) DGW19
- Possible Bench Boost DGW19
I’m open to taking hits Gameweek 19:
- Maximize scoring potential DGW19
- Build a strong team for the long-run
- Save the second Wildcard for the future
GW17 Transfers.
Transfers: 1
Transfers OUT: Branthwaite
Transfers IN: Justin
My team was two players short GW16, maybe it’s time to upgrade the bench. 🙂 Justin steps in with an eye on DGW19 while providing cover for Vardy who is not one of my top targets for the double.
Captain.
Harry Kane is set as captain after welcoming a baby to the family. Hat-trick for the baby! 👶👶👶 Another reason is Leeds leave space at the back when they push high into the attack. Kane and Son could exploit the gaps, but Mourinho must provide the system to create chances and score goals.
⚽️ Only West Brom (35) has conceded more goals this season than Leeds United (30).
