I really don’t want to waste a FH on the other games if 3PMs all go. It seems like such a waste with so many games coming up.

But I don’t think anyone can afford a 3-4 player week.

Does this 2nd Free Hit stack? I realize I can't use them in back to back weeks.... but could I feasibly use them in week 36 and week 38 if I wanted?

Which one of these?

A) Salah & Raphinha to Son & Bowen (-4)
B) Raphinha to Bowen and start with 10 (no hits), which gives me Salah (c) vs. Leicester
C) Salah & King to Ronaldo & Bowen (-4)

Any advice would be appreciated.

Go for C! Two players that could be starting at CF in very scorable games and two players that you would fancy keeping over the next period.

Raphinha is a way better option than King too and gives you more places to go should be move.

Third one, but consider an Arsenal mid instead if news of Antonio playing.

Yep, only stipulations are the one you mention of not in consecutive weeks, and also you can't use this extra one this week - starts week 20.
However, smart players would still have their original one which can be used.

Leaving it late doors sounds a good option, but then you miss the doubles/FA cup quarter week when limited fixtures and could be all too late.

To be fair, I just used those weeks as an example... still got mine, so just glad they stack now.

Behind the right goal post as "Whiteside shoots!"
It's either that or you free hit.

No idea what I will be doing.
I was 99% there a day or so ago…. just waiting for one specific poster to say it’s a bad idea then I’m 100% :)

Take out Salah and Antonio for Son and Ronaldo (-4)… thoughts?

Salah is the no.1 for points yes but Leic away, Chelsea away then misses two weeks and chance one of those weeks becomes a DGW… so two hardish games and miss three.

Sons fixtures better and could have a DGW.

Antonio to Ronaldo explains itself really…

Issue is a -4?

Big talk that Palace v Tottenham is already off and just needs confirmation

Sounds odd? Surely the rest of the team, coaches, etc test and if ok.. crack on?
This guy might not be legit, but he seems to be a Palace correspondent, with 1,000 + followers. Whether that's low or what you'd expect for that level club I don't know.

But surely nothing to be gained from breaking this as it'd quickly be proven wrong.

I think Palace already had a number of cases, and this just adds to their basket.

Fantasy scout makes me laugh.

One person posted the link, then numerous people announce the same news, many sharing the same link :D

Yep, last week, when a lot of us brought in Watkins 3hours before the deadline when there was no rumours at all was one thing.

But doing it now, having already seen the first 3 games of the weekend already canned is utter lunacy.

If it's postponed then it makes it easier for me to choose -4 rather than free hit. I'm no longer concerned of not owning both Man United and Spurs players this week.

But you saved 0.1m :lol:
Salah dropping would've priced me out of the only viable move I had. It's incredibly mental but also kinda exciting watching the next few hours. If it goes down the shitter so be it. :lol:

All I'd say is I've likely doomed the United and West ham games so pick those players at your own risk!

Tottenham seem insanely jinxed, getting over their own problems then running into another team with them.

We haven't even talked about rumours about Cancelo (and some say Bilva) having covid either....

It's gonna be carnage tomorrow.

Be on your 2 screens tomorrow and hope the broadband doesn't go down and you have to get by on your phone :D

We haven't talk about it because they are not reported by journalist or good source but only by random poster from reddit means likely to be fake. Like the Reece James news last week. Both Cancelo and Bilva are shown on their training video yesterday at least.

So I have Son, Salah, Jota, Trent and Dennis all missing for me. All players I want for long term, so free hit is the only option I have. Unless I'm happy to only have 9...

Ramsdale
James Cancelo Livra Williams
BSilva ESR
Bjora Watkins

A Freehit might be like putting a plaster on a gunshot wound at this point. In two days time a lot of these teams will probably still be unavailable. What do we do then? Wildcard?

It's an absolute mess this season. Some teams are going to end up 5 or more games behind others before too long. Burnley already 4 behind. Integrity of the season is now in serious doubt.

My friends what time is the deadline tomorrow?

All games start at 3pm so am I right in saying its something like 1:30 or 2pm? Or is it still 11am?

Slippy G has covid too, so would not count on Villa - Chelsea going ahead either.

With a +4 hit, I can field a solid 8 players (assuming Foden doesnt start and Watkins is postponed). Or 10 players in a best case scenario (opposite to the aforementioned).
Not worth a free hit in that instance right?

Thanks lads. My concern was not being able to get Son of I get Ronaldo but Spurs might be cancelled anyways...

Won't consider arsenal as I don't want the triple up and their fixtures turn after Norwich.

Any less than 9 playing it’s time to use that free hit. Been taking hits all over the shop to patch up my team for the past few gws. It’s quickly losing its appeal.
The next gameweek is two days later. Once the Freehit is gone what do you do then? Chances are these teams won't be back by then.

Early wildcard?
