Fantasy Premier League 20/21

[Sandikan]

Free hit team.

Lloris
Cancelo Saiss Tierney
KDB (c) Bruno Gundogan Son
Kane Lacazette Wilson

Saka
Yedlin
Mitchell
Peacock Farrell

That's a sexy time team mate.

I have 6 and can get 8 with a -4 but your front line is what concerns me about mine.

I have Kane and that's it. Can't take Bamford or Watkins out for a transfer.

But Lacazette and Wilson could very easily put in 20-25 points between them.
Throw in something from a Gundo and a defender and it's very easy to see a 35-40 point loss.

So to people saying "there will be another better chance for the free hit later in the season" I'm not actually sure there will be.
Here you have 4 big teams with 4 lesser teams as their opponents. Will that happen again?

 

[El-Manos]

Huh, i would hit FH, mate. Kilmann and Brewster are always 50:50 of plsying plus Brewster is 2 point player so far.

I thought kilman usually started? Ah feck it anyway

 

[Sandikan]

His is very similar to mine....

Son
Bruno
Kane
De Bruyne
Dias
Dier


1 freebie to use.

But risks are no Arsenal - back on the up and woeful Palace to play
Wilson away at dreadful SheffUtd
Neto is dangerous.

 

[Samid]

Kilman, Diaz
Fernandes, son Neto, KDB
Brewster, Kane

You've got most of the key big hitters for this week. I'd just take a few hits. Each hit only costs -2 in these circumstances.

 

[2mufc0]

I have 8 players playing. Free hit or save it?

I'm in the same boat I have 8 (including Brewster), the way I see it is you'll be fine if your captain hauls. Its whether you want to take the gamble. Personally I really want to save my FH for later in the season.

 

[Dan_F]

I am going for Cavani. I have a feeling that he will start. And score

I’ve got Martial at the moment, but I don’t think he’ll be much use with Cavani up top. It might be switched to Lacazette by 4pm.

Ive also got the captaincy on Bruno, but I’m thinking it’ll either be close with limited points, or he’ll be subbed early if we score a few.

 

[Sandikan]

Quickly scanning this out.... Lamptey to Stones for free gives


Stones Dier Dias
De Bruyne Son Bruno
Kane

7 players


That would allow an 11 in week 19 with 8 doublers and 3 Tottenham (away to Sheff Utd)

Mendy
Dias Dier Justin Stones
KBD Bruno Son Grealish
Watkins Kane
(Bamford benched if single - which might be risky over benching Dier - and obvs if he has a double he'd come in)

So the question.... is it worth doing a -4 to shift deadweight Bissouma out for either Lookman or McTom. Both have doubles - and would give me an 8th player this midweek game week...

But would either of those 2 be worth keeping any of my 11 above out?
Lookman's games are tough! McTom bar Leeds doesn't do much beyond 2 points.


Or..alternatively Bamford out and Wilson in for tonight for -4? He'd have to get a decent haul to make that worthwhile and then he has Arsenal away next and Bamford at least has Brighton home (pending the other game)


Or last resort... FH to get 4 extra players into this week's lineup - and obvs lose it for future in the season.

Why on earth you would put McT (or any other defensive midfielder) in team? Soucek is only classic midfielder who has his worth regarding points imo

 

[TheGame]

Is Aston Villa's game definitely going ahead? Not showing in the GW18 fixtures on the fantasy website.

 

[Deery]

They were supposed to play Spurs but got changed to Spurs v Fulham instead Villa doesn’t play.

 

[VP89]

Those planning to activate a triple bench for GW 19 - are you aiming to have the whole bench as double gameweek players? I'm struggling with mine to be fair.

Also I have no Salah and Kane which is a big risk going forward, but I have covered hitters everywhere else.

 

[Bratt]

It’s not.
It’s been postponed, and we will have Spurs vs Fulham instead.

 

[Deery]

Captaining Harry Kane this game week got 8 players playing so didn’t turn out to bad, didn’t use a FH or WC.

 

[TheGame]

It’s not.
It’s been postponed, and we will have Spurs vs Fulham instead.

Thanks.

 

[Sandikan]

Simply a case of having 0.4m to boost Bissouma to someone.
Mctom. Lookman or Ceballos.. Lookman prob looks the best bet. But Fulham are pony

 

[Deery]

What does a bench boost actually do put players on the bench on if they score more points I assume?

You get the points of your benched players

 

[Sandikan]

Hmmm thinking over putting Lookman in for -4. Plays up front for Fulham. Down as 4.9m mid.

-4 and gets two points for playing so minimal risk.

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

So to people saying "there will be another better chance for the free hit later in the season" I'm not actually sure there will be.
Here you have 4 big teams with 4 lesser teams as their opponents. Will that happen again?

That's where I am and still biggest reason to say "why NOT use it now?"

4 David v Goliath games are better than several which include equal match ups that could go either way? Looking through GWs - can't see anything that looks close

 

[Andycoleno9]

You guys are right. Martial or Cavani is a big risk. I think i will switch to Lacca.
But Cavani.....i have a feeling that he will destroy today. feck

Edit: feck it. What is done is done
Leno
Holding, cancelo, Dier
Bruno, Kdb (c), Rashford, Son, Smith
Kane, Cavani.

Come on!

 

[Deery]

You get the points of your benched players

Aw, didn’t realise that thanks...

 

[Dirty Schwein]

Brewster and Mitchell?

Nah these two clowns are coming in for my bench. I had Bruno and Son.

My free hit team is:

Lloris
Cancelo, Stones, Maguire
KDB, Son, Rashy, Saka, Fernandes
Kane, Wilson

Subs: GK, Mitchell, Brewster, Douglas

I wanted Lacazette but I don't trust he'll 100% play 90 minutes.

Can people suggest any improvements?

I'm 90% sure Cavani will start today and I am free hitting him in.

 

[kafta]

My FH team so far:

Leno
Tierney Cancelo Dier
KDB Son Bruno Saka Rashford
Kane Wilson

I think Arsenal (Tierney, Leno or Holding) or Spurs (Dier) have better chance to clean sheet than us.
I trust our attack but not defence. From round 1 i want to put Harry in but i always say; not yet

 

[Sarni]

I have decided to go for a differential as I'm chasing a 100 point gap in both my leagues. My team:

Areola Johnstone
Cancelo Tierney Cresswell Dier Dallas
KDB Bruno Rashford Grealish Saka
Martial Lacazette Bamford

0.4m in the bank.

No one has Martial or Lacazette, most people don't have Rashford and Saka in my leagues. Having no Kane or Son may come back to haunt me, though I'm thinking about putting Son in for Rashford.

 

[TMDaines]

Looks like I am going to free hit into:

Lloris
Cancelo Stones Holding
KDB Bruno Son Rashford Saka
Kane Cavani

Peacock, Kilman Brewster Mitchell

My only fiddling may come from trying to get Saiss in. Could otherwise do:

Lloris
Cancelo Saiss Stones Holding
KDB Bruno Son Rashford
Kane Cavani

Peacock, Smith-Rowe Brewster Douglas

Either way, I like the redundancy of not having more than three players from a fixture, plus a playing bench, to offer some redundancy. I'm a bit worried we could be surprised by Arsenal v Palace being called off tomorrow after no suggestion previously.

In terms of captains, I think I like Kane, Bruno, KDB and Son in that order. That's going to be one of the true differentials this week.

 

[Dirty Schwein]

I was literally thinking of switching Maguire to Tierney. My only concern is that Burnley are one of the worst attacks in the league so surely we can shut them out? Whereas CP have Zaha who can easily score against Arsenal.

Edit: just done Maguire out to Tierney for the attacking potential. Let's see how this goes...

 

[Sandikan]

Just notice Lookman is 5.0 not 4.9 so wouldn't work anyway!

 

[Vidyoyo]

Felt like there was no point free hitting as I've got 9 players available: Maguire, Dias, Stones, Son, Rashford, Penandes, Neto, Wood, Kane (c).

 

[Heardy]

I either free hit or play with 2 players

I hadn’t quite appreciated how few teams were playing.

This season is a pain in the area. Don’t have the time to pay such attention to the fixtures, cancellations etc.

 

[United Hobbit]

Is it worth free hitting for this week? I have 6 players would have 7 but 1 is the injured DCL. This does include Son vs Fulham and Mahrez against cannon fodder, however since adding Mahrez I've repeatedly been Pepp'd so he's next to useless as well!

 

[CassiusClaymore]

Wildcard deployed. Let's go big Dave McGoldrick!

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Wildcard deployed. Let's go big Dave McGoldrick!

Wildcard, not free hit?

 

[CassiusClaymore]

Wildcard, not free hit?

Yup. You don't just take David on a Free Hit.

 

[Sandikan]

Wildcard deployed. Let's go big Dave McGoldrick!

How have you laid the team out to maximize doubles for next week?

 

[Dirty Schwein]

Wildcard, not free hit?

I heard the top players are using WC.

I’d free hit with that personally but would need to see the rest of the team.

 

[Sandikan]

Tottenham playing Sheff Utd next game week, THE FA cup sitting in the middle of the game week, plus the whole covid/games called off uncertainty, I think rules out the wildcard for me.

Finally gonna just bring in Stones for free once I've seen Pep not mention him in the press conference (7 starters) and then weigh up a -4 either on Bissouma to someone (limited benefit as only afford up to 4.9) or Bamford to Wilson - if I think Wilson will outscore Bamford playing 2 games to 1 (even though Bamford's double being cancelled isn't confirmed yet - plus Wilson has a tough game -warding me off that)

 

[Sandikan]

I’d free hit with that personally but would need to see the rest of the team.

Would you wildcard if this was the 7 you had playing?

Bruno - Son- KDB - Kane - Dier-Stones-Dias
