What is this witchcraft?🧙‍♂️

This is my defensive FDR table to help me decide on combinations. You may not agree with the rankings & a lot of it’s guesswork pre season but it works for this exercise.

The 2nd table highlights the teams that have a reasonable defensive fixture...
What’s the point of doing this and why didn’t I use a season ticker rotation tool?

I’m specifically interested in identifying 3 teams with defenders 4.0-4.5 that I can utilise until I wildcard.

Plans could change but at this stage I’d like to hold until GW16...
Conventional tools purely look at Home & Away whereas I’m only interested in FDR for budget players.

Given that I’m holding the WC, I dont want to waste TFRs on budget DF. They’ll be used on premiums & MF/FD bandwagons.

Based on the above I like the following combinations...
WOL/ARS/CPL - this could be achieved with Vinagre (4.5), Saliba (4.5) & Mitchell (4.0) assuming they start (risky atm). Mitchell can be switched to Ferguson (4.0) when PVA is back & Fergie is fit.
LEI/AVL+BHA/SOU - Justin (4.5), Konsa (4.5) & Lamptey (4.5) / KWP (4.5) - it works with CPL too & those options are above.

Most will be selecting Ryan / McCarthy so whichever you have choose the opposing DF ie McCarthy+Lamptey.
Other combinations work too but those are the ones that stuck out & a lot is dependant on player moves etc.

It’s definitely some food for thought. What’s your favourite budget defender combo you could set and forget until you WC?

RTs appreciated 🙏🏼
