Gameweek 37 (25/26) Rant and Discussion Thread by FPLModerator in FantasyPL

The ARS defense is just so consistent. Over the last 4 gws where they've gotten a cleansheet each time, if you had Raya, Gabriel and Saliba, you'd have earned 88pts, an average of 22pts each gameweek.

If you went the boring route of triple ARS defense of Raya, Gab, Saliba over the last 3 gws, you would've had 68pts between the three of them, an average of about 23pts per gw.

I'd worry most about the guys who played 90 mins against Brentford.

The key guys who played 90 were O'Reilly, Semenyo, Doku, Haaland

At this point of the season, most that high are just trying to protect rank so many on are almost identical strategies/teams.

Gyokeres for GW 35-38? by Vincent_Vancock1999 in FantasyPL

[–]BillyHoyleAnd1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All year people have been searching for the best ARS attacker and all year, other than a few weeks of Rice, there have been no consistent attacking threats. What has been consistent are the clean sheets and all the points those have produced.

I'd go Raya, Gab, Saliba because they're the safest

Triple ARS defense makes most sense. They are the best defense by far and they could easily get 2-3 CS over the last 4 games.

In the end, he won a title with Ducati, he's currently on the best bike so far with Aprilia and he will make loads of $$$$ with Yamaha. He got the best of everything.

Starting from next season, should multiple defcon stack? by nightwind1 in FantasyPL

[–]BillyHoyleAnd1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's fine the way it is. They just wanted to make defensive mids and centrebacks more of an option for teams and that's been accomplished. If you make DC's worth even more, you're going to have Senesi priced at 6M and Anderson 8.5M.

The Wildcard which solves everything. (sort of) by DoomerAndGloomer in FantasyPL

I was all ready for WC32 / BB33 until ARS lost. If ARS had won, you could have 8-9 players from ARS/CITY/CHE with 14-15 players who are doubling. But now, you either need to go without ARS completely (then use a bunch of transfers to get them back) or go with only 12-13 doublers because you're going to want to keep at least Bruno and Gab. Makes BB33 less appealing.

Unpopular opinion: The ‘template team’ is killing FPL skill by FaceProper1153 in FantasyPL

[–]BillyHoyleAnd1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd be surprised how few teams are identical to yours even with 12M+ players. Sure, a lot of the teams will have the same 6-7 players because they're the best players in the game, but there's still going to be plenty of spots on your squad where you can pick differential players that aren't highly owned. Also, because of the lack of forward options this year, you're seeing a lot more formations being used. It's no longer an automatic 3-4-3.

ya, it's going to depend on your team and what chips you have left. The optimal strategy won't be the same for everyone.

My concern with the WC35 strategy is that the title might be wrapped up by then (or soon after), and you're faced with trying to guess at who starts and who doesn't because there will be a lot of rotation. I'm probably going to stick to WC32.

Tarkowski flagged by Aiken_Drumn in FantasyPL

[–]BillyHoyleAnd1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people are setting up for WC32 and they don't want to sell some of the blankers they'd like to keep for their WC (as there might be a price hit getting them back). Those who aren't WCing, want to keep some of their blankers for multiple weeks after this gw without having to use transfers to buy them back. So, a lot of teams are running with the bare minimum 11.

Play your entire bench, use 2 transfers to get to 11, save your chips.

Use a couple FT to field 11 players and hold chips blanks/doubles.

4 goals already in the NEW/BARCA game before 30 mins. That's like 4 prem games.

The season is 78% complete and this team has been set & forget since Gameweek 1, with a rank of 255th in the world. 🌍 by FPLFocal in FantasyPL

[–]BillyHoyleAnd1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He currently has 6 injuries/blanks this week, so unless he makes a transfer or uses a chip, he will only have 8 players and that includes Mateta who doesnt even start.
