I'm reluctant to have any rags in my team (it's bad enough having dips and Tarqs). But you can't deny, he's clocking up the numbers this past few weeks. 5th in the table* behind Salah, Palmer, Haaland and Mbuemo.
That's an excellent return in a low scoring week. I have Elanga in my team. Not as captain, unfortunately.
I still have that tucked away in my back pocket, along with the second wildcard and the bench boost.
I tend to just go for it when all my players seem to be getting game time and returns and your bench looks good for the week ahead. Straight after playing wild card often works well.
You could still get a decent finish but you need to plan a chip strategy, that's where the big gains are made usually.
Are you sure about GW33 being a double gameweek? It's not showing as one on the app. The preceding week has Newcastle vs Palace as the extra fixture.
Still waiting for confirmation but it looks likely that City, Villa, Arsenal and Palace will double in 33, because of rearranged fixtures from the fa cup semis, Villa and Arsenal still in the CL so not many available midweek slots.
Thanks. I'll keep an eye on it as it approaches. I'm looking at offloading Palmer before this week's deadline (possibly bringing in Eze or Sarr). The latter is surprisingly cheap (5.7m), given his form in the last couple of GWs.
I've brought Palmer in on the wildcard, then plan to sell him to Saka for the Arsenal double in 33.
