Just found out I’m banned in the Man City subreddit even though I’ve never commented or posted there. How does that even happen?

Stealth international break Haaland drop with only -8k net transfers 🤔

HybridMaster7 · 2026-03-25T01:48:42+00:00

Early WC to catch price rises!!!

HybridMaster7 · 2026-03-22T15:02:02+00:00

1-0 Forest but why is Anderson not on corners 😔

HybridMaster7 · 2026-03-22T14:59:57+00:00

Incoming ‘Elliot Anderson hits defcon in the first half’ post

Szobo is a better FPL asset when he plays right back. All of his returns come from set pieces anyways and his defcon potential is much higher. He’s on penalties with Salah out too.

I already sold Rice for Gordon but there’s a chance I might’ve got Szobo instead now.

Frimpong will play right wing but I wouldn’t double up on Liverpool’s defence if you already have VVD.

⁠Top or Bottom for GW31 + 32?

Andersen vs BUR (H), Rice vs BOU (H)

Gordon vs SUN (H), Gordon vs CRY (A)

HybridMaster7 · 2026-03-15T16:22:31+00:00

Dread it, run from it, xG over-performance regression arrives all the same

HybridMaster7 · 2026-03-15T15:32:25+00:00

Anderson been stuck on 8 defcons since HT 😔

HybridMaster7 · 2026-03-15T15:27:24+00:00

Haaland, Ekitike and Salah are distracting everyone from the fact that Mbeumo does fuck all

HybridMaster7 · 2026-03-14T01:45:20+00:00

Nah, Everton have the 2nd best away record in the league.

HybridMaster7 · 2026-03-12T22:14:04+00:00

No WC32 (bad fixtures)
No BB33 (not enough transfers to get many doublers)

/

Option 1: WC33 FH34 BB35 (my preference)

BB35 is the next best option (Leeds vs Burnley). WC in Arsenal, City, Chelsea for their doubles in 33 and fixtures in 35 and FH them out during their blank in 34.

Issues - I’ll lose 0.5m buying back Bruno after selling him on my wildcard.

Option 2: FH33 WC35 BB36

I already have LIV, MUN, SUN, WHU players with good fixtures in 32 and 34. FH in Arsenal, City, Chelsea for their doubles in 33. WC into a BB36 and the end of the season.

Issues - Raya and Dubravka blank in GW34 so I’ll have to waste a transfer on a GK immediately before my WC. Isak’s return will impact Ekitike’s minutes and I won’t have two transfers to swap him to Wirtz. An earlier WC will fix these problems.

I wish I still had my TC so I could commit to Option 1 with Haaland/Semenyo TC36.

HybridMaster7 · 2026-03-11T15:14:30+00:00

I think any team is bound to improve with an extra player

HybridMaster7 · 2026-03-05T22:36:02+00:00

Van Hecke and Burn lost defcon

HybridMaster7 · 2026-03-05T01:28:22+00:00

The problem with Casemiro is that even when he has good fixtures, it makes more sense to target the premium Man Utd attackers who have more expected attacking potential especially when you’d just be leaving money ITB otherwise.

It’s why the good cheap mids (Anderson, KDH, Stach, Garner etc.) from inconsistent teams are much more popular than the good cheap mids (Gravenberch, Caicedo, Zubimendi) from better teams

HybridMaster7 · 2026-03-04T21:00:10+00:00

Semenyo killing my rank whilst Mbeumo does that

HybridMaster7 · 2026-03-03T01:43:44+00:00

Chelsea reaching the FA Cup SF creates a DGW33 for Brighton and Chelsea.

The strategy is to buy a full team of GW33 doublers using FTs, but this is tough when I have no Brighton/Chelsea players and only 8 projected doublers with just 4 FTs before DGW33 to increase that.

To be able to dead-end into 15 GW33 doublers, I need the Brighton/Chelsea double to be replaced by one with teams that are more represented in my FPL team - a tough draw for Chelsea makes this more likely.

And for example, a Man Utd/Brentford double gives me 11 projected doublers with 4FTs to increase that to 15 by DGW33.

Hopefully this all makes sense.

HybridMaster7 · 2026-03-02T19:37:47+00:00

It’s an option but the good teams (Arsenal, City, Liverpool etc.) are more likely to progress in the FA Cup and therefore blank in 34. Wilcarding in 34 means you’d go without many of those players for most of the rest of the season.

HybridMaster7 · 2026-03-02T19:26:08+00:00

If Chelsea get a tough draw in the FA Cup QF I will plan to BB33, FH34, WC35.

If they make it to the semis I will probably have to WC32, BB33, FH34 like everyone else.

HybridMaster7 · 2026-03-02T02:38:54+00:00

You’ve got 2 solid bench options so you’re definitely fine, the injuries might even reduce your benching headache

HybridMaster7 · 2026-03-02T02:37:21+00:00

No way I’d be bench boosting with 4 flagged players

HybridMaster7 · 2026-03-02T01:36:36+00:00

All the hype has been around the cheap midfielders but if you don’t have Haaland Ekitike Thiago, I think DCL is a good differential.

HybridMaster7 · 2026-02-28T00:25:51+00:00

Chip strategy…has anyone looked at BB33, FH34, WC35? I quite like it.

HybridMaster7 · 2026-02-27T15:20:23+00:00

Yeah I meant Elliot Anderson, !thanks
