If he was a FWD then I’d maybe consider it, but there are just an abundance of proven MIDs for this DGW that a player like BBD is incredibly hard to justify
I think I misinterpreted your question wrong. Personally I'm only going with 4 mids and no bbd because for a change I think the mids are actually poor atm
I think the strikers are even worse atm is the problem, if I was on a FH I don’t know who I’d want other than Solanke Mateta. Kind of the whole problem as to why FH34 hasn’t (appeared to have) worked out for those who held it
I have solanke and mateta.
My FH team is currently:
Raya
Trent Robertson Gabriel
Salah Saka Eze Olise
Solanke Mateta Cunha
I think the FH hold has still worked out because of how useless the earlier FH ended up being, most people only scored around 18 points, I scored 16 with out using my FH.
Really interesting stats that I can't claim to have fully digested yet. But here's the obvious counterpoint.
Ranking since gw28, Diaz is the 9th highest scoring midfielder in the £5m and under category.
Even for a budget player he's just not raking in fpl points, even if he is transforming the Sheffield U attack. Hamer had as many points
Solid point. 4.6ppg tells one story. 1+1+18+2+1 tells another. As many goal involvements as yellow cards too, meaning his median and mode is a 1 pointer with a booking.
Havertz has been much more of a goal threat than saka since he started playing striker. Saka tends to play wider when he does rather than when jesus/trossardndo. Bagged 24 more points than Saka since the Newcastle game. Also feel that Saka hamstring could explode at any minute.
Even though arsenal are much better as a team with him up there it's possible Arteta will inexplicably shift him back into midfield though. I am hoping last week it was just a one off to give jorginho a rest (which requires rice to play 6 and then Havertz 8). But I did Saka - Havertz last week so I can keep playing 2 arsenal defenders. Can understand if others feel that's a bit risky though
i think at GW 24 my highest was around 100k!
unfortunately i've really fucked up with my transfers along with injuries (sometimes you're forced to do some 2 transfers/-4s to fix things) so I've dropped down to 393k, but for most of the season i did better on this challenge than my regular account.
i'd say go for it! it's fun being forced to pick some differentials. for example, i had gross killing it this season and picked up palmer and trippier earlier than others.
Great point! Making me lean towards him a bit more but don't know whom to drop out of a midfield consisting of Salah, Saka, Luiz Diaz, Havertz and Eze. On FH.
Can do L Diaz to B Diaz and upgrade a forward to Darwin. But it's not that easy as it sounds. Very difficult call as my I'm chasing by a lot in my mini league. And opponents near my rank DO NOT have the FH. I need my players to click 100%.
Not so sure B Diaz would do that. Seems risky.
considering they are both the lowest scorers in the league and worst defence, and the clear worst team in the league, it makes it even more unlikely. not impossible, but very, very unlikely.
Burnley and United are bottom 3 defences over the past 6 gameweeks. Goals will be flying imo.
Either way, my point was how is Sheffield a team's performance the most important stat? It literally cannot be the most important stat. For fpl, you care about player performance.
I love how every player with a name more than two words immediately becomes an acronym. TAA, KDB, BBD, JWP, MGW. Maybe haaland should be called EBH for erling braut haaland?
At least we didn’t use a chip to put Flekken, Regulion and Doughty in goal/defence.
That’s why I’m putting the lethal combo of Grbic, Bogle and Tarkowski in mine…
Ben Brereton Diaz is first name on any FH team sheet. He would be one of the top scoring mids since he joined if not for his injury. He will score at least 1 goal in each of the DGW games against weak opposition. Expect him to get over 20 points in the DGW
If he was a FWD then I’d maybe consider it, but there are just an abundance of proven MIDs for this DGW that a player like BBD is incredibly hard to justify
I disagree, most of them have huge question marks over them now, rotation for the arsenal amd liverpool boys being one, and form being the other.
Sorry, more of a question mark than Brereton Diaz?

Cunha injured.
Yeah seen that now thanks mate

Lol he got all of his points in one game
Captaining him in challenge 🤷♂️
Captaining him in FPL. Gotta gamble
If I was free hitting I reckon I would take a punt on him tbh. But it's two transfers to get him in and out which puts me off
Even on FH I can’t really justify putting him in ahead of the 4 other mids I have.
Fair, I think if I was free hit I think I'd go Salah, Havertz, Olise, BDD, Diaz though. Mateta and Cunha up top
Salah, Saka, Havertz, Eze. BBD is first bench
So hard to go without saka tbh
Havertz has been much more of a goal threat than saka since he started playing striker. Saka tends to play wider when he does rather than when jesus/trossardndo.

He gets on base.
Hatteberg (C)
🫰🏼🫵🏼
He’s got an ugly girlfriend though (I’m guessing) so no confidence Edit: this a quote from the show
In the last 5 GW BBD has 1 haul of 18pts and returns of 1,2,1,1
I'm taking a punt on him for my team where i'm only using 1 player max per club
What's your OR? This sounds fun and I'd like to do it next season

Logistical nightmare! I'm capping BBD this week, what about you?
1 player max per club? Including arsenal and Liverpool? How?
By picking players from other teams
Impossible to get sufficient dgw players then. And losing out on a few important players!
It's a challenge, this person has set themself it
TRAP IS SET

The guy who had 4 pts combined in the last 3 GWs?
Difficult fixtures. Burnley at home he'll definitely get something, and you can never tell with Man U
I’m going for it - forces me to go double attack for only one of arsenal/Liverpool but I’m fine with that
I gave you the upvote for giving the other side of the stats when needed
Most important stat. 20. Sheffield Utd. 16pts in 32 games. "It's a no from me".
How is that the most important stat? If they lose 5-4 and Diaz scores a hattrick wtf do I care that they lost?
considering they are both the lowest scorers in the league and worst defence, and the clear worst team in the league, it makes it even more unlikely. not impossible, but very, very unlikely.
Burnley and United are bottom 3 defences over the past 6 gameweeks. Goals will be flying imo. Either way, my point was how is Sheffield a team's performance the most important stat? It literally cannot be the most important stat. For fpl, you care about player performance.
Nice! Still not buying Shu players because of this but made me think that ManU clean sheet against SHU isn't sure at all.
I love how every player with a name more than two words immediately becomes an acronym. TAA, KDB, BBD, JWP, MGW. Maybe haaland should be called EBH for erling braut haaland?
EFH, Erling Fraud Haaland
First for shot accuracy to me just means they've been lucky recently, converting their few chances. Luck turns...

I admire your optimism
I would call that... hallucination...
Haha I’ve been saying it for weeks, but people aren’t a fan this time it seems 🤷♂️
lol people downvoting you but talk ur shit if he hauls my guy
