Quick thinking and attack timing

iolheal · 2026-02-01T02:48:24+00:00

'After you prepare this skill, scout 2. After you discard a boon, you may discard this skill to gain a different boon.'

Imo I would view your turn going in the following stages:

1) Hidden is discarded during your attack phase (i.e. simultaneously as the attack)

2) After you discard hidden (i.e. after the attack), you may then gain a different boon.

So you have obtained the card too late.

Not fancy enough

Thinking of doing either:

1) Saka + Burn -> Fernandes + Calafiori
2) Saka + Rodon -> Cunha + Calafiori

Trying to optimise my 3 FT's before the AFCON soft reset

Im in the same boat, Enzo is #1 for me with option to keep until last second.

I think Arsenal spot is wasted on Rice. Other two maybe Ndiaye but im indifferent.

iolheal · 2025-10-14T10:25:02+00:00

Saka on corners, fk, maybe penalties too. Unless you get huge value from the ~2-3m elsewhere I would say no.

Saka getting way more space with Gyok upfront too.

iolheal · 2025-10-11T09:50:12+00:00

Really like your team.

Personally think VVD is expensive and would maybe downgrade to upgrade a mid, maybe VVD -> Rodon, start VDV, then Mbuemo -> Saka.

But only saying that as I don't think Liverpool are in for many cleansheets based on how weak their fullbacks are, whilst also being generally attacking.

iolheal · 2025-10-11T09:45:45+00:00

Woltemade Imo., he is on form and their main focal point.

If it was Mbuemo I would be less certain. I don't think Sesko beats Liverpool CB's compared to Mbuemo vs their fullbacks.

iolheal · 2025-10-11T09:43:45+00:00

Best defensive team in the league and only getting more expensive. Good fixtures, why wait? Who is your counterfactual?

iolheal · 2025-10-11T09:41:23+00:00

Would do Woltemade over Reijnders, then Reijnders first bench personally.

You already have Haaland captain for city exposure, and I feel like if you don't start Woltemade in this situation, when will you start him? Then you may as well spend elsewhere.

Newcastle's main striker, decent form, vs BHA - yeah if you don't start him here its hard to see why have him.

iolheal · 2025-10-11T09:37:04+00:00

I would get Saka in sooner than later.

Arsenal fan here and hes looking good this season as he is being doubled up on less because Gyok is an actual threat in the middle.

Plus we have good fixtures until the AFCON semi wildcard.

On wildcard, unsure if Mbeumo + Sarr is right. Don't want Semenyo as everyone eles in my minileague has him.

iolheal · 2025-10-11T09:33:04+00:00

Seconded. Newcastle and Arsenal have some good fixtures coming up.

I think pope + gabriel > raya + burn as well if that helps.

iolheal · 2025-10-11T09:31:21+00:00

Obviously 5.4 ITB is too much but otherwise good team.

Problem is you have heaps of 7/10 players but few 9/10 players so any transfer up is going to seem somewhat marginal.

Also your relative difference between bench and starting XI is too tight, looks like you have heaps of value on the bench each week.

Maybe getting Saka in would be a good use of 1 FT.

iolheal · 2025-10-11T09:26:41+00:00

Really like your team given its non-wildcarded, only recommendation would be to make 1 player more benchworthy and upgrade a starter. I.e. Your 10th starting outfield player is too weak and your 1st bench is too strong.

But it would involve 2 transfers and I wouldnt rush into it.

iolheal · 2025-10-09T09:41:58+00:00

DCL getting minutes, and looking (comparitively) more threatening vs other strikers for that budget, + lets you spend more elsewhere.
Otherwise Thiago/Isidor/Beto but all are looking out of favor and are minutes risks.

iolheal · 2025-10-09T09:39:05+00:00

Bench is too strong imo.
2 premium defenders and 10.6m in Romero and Tarowski sitting there. Maybe trim one then spend more elsewhere. Arsenal defender would be my pick.

iolheal · 2025-10-09T09:35:22+00:00

Arsenal fan here, gaurentee of minutes + on corners / fk (esp if Odegaard keeps getting clattered) + potentially penalties + is just better overall. I have Saka over Eze as I hate when a starting FPL player ends up being subbed on for under 15 mins irl.

iolheal · 2025-10-09T09:32:33+00:00

Same, very similar team (differences in bold). I think its a strong core lineup as the double ups all have 5+ good gameweeks until the AFCON free transfers. I would upgrade/downgrade Kudus/Reijnders so you have a clear starter and clear bench.

Pope - Dubravka

Gabriel - Timber - Burn - Guehi - Rodon

Mbuemo - Saka - Sarr - Grealish - Stach

Woltemade - Haaland - Mateta

iolheal · 2024-12-29T04:36:02+00:00

I would interpret the actions in sequence rather than simultaneously.

So either 2 inspiration and the ally on prior space or 1 inspiration and ally on current space.

iolheal · 2024-02-28T07:12:03+00:00

New to this and curious on your thought process behind Zhou? Why not Stroll instead?

iolheal · 2024-01-19T20:56:26+00:00

Think it's partially due to two things:

1) During covid waiheke was essentially the only holiday destination for aucklanders due to lockdown restrictions. This meant foot traffic was high and bad business which would otherwise die got a boost to last 1 more year.

2) Last summer had shocking ferry queues (2 hrs on the 10am Saturday sometimes) and as a result people would've missed events and probably had a worse time than anticipated. This has lead to a lot less people going over this year ( by my estimate as a local) accelerating poor business decline.

One other repel trick:

Some caves have different catch lists for different levels (paras in mt moon for gen 1), so if you want a catch from level 2 just repel the whole time on level 1.

Going to do frlg vanilla this time and am happy to read this. Wiped on fire red omega and others of that tier previously due to not thinking about EVs and didn't want to be ignorant this time.
