Nonchalantly scoring the winner...
I think due to Pep and his rotation.
I meant more discussion about the TC in general this week - not necessary limited to Aguero / City players.

Probably because people just want to wait and see how it plays out. With 5 subs, it's anyone's call, especially with the TC.
Yeah sure, this is the only DGW though mate, and many still have the Triple Cap left - it's odd that there's not more talk of whether or not to pull the trigger, and on whom to place it.

I think it is Auba or De Bruyne you should pick for it to be safe. Sterling and Aguero the risky picks. Sane super risky.

No idea on how to use my remaining chips.

If no TC this week, I'll have to punt on a single gameweek. With no wildcard left, this appears a decent opportunity to bench boost, but I can't go all in as it'll screw up my team going ahead. Tough decisions to make.

Looks like I'll just be using my free hit on a week where many of the big boys play lesser sides. Either that or an injury crisis.

Imagine picking Arsenal players when they've got stuffed in their closed doors friendlies against Norwich (1-2) and Brentford (2-3)!

Good manager, terrible team.

Gone for their attackers and Leno (alternative was Villa defence, hardly any better).

To be fair to them, they are the only PL team who haven’t lost in 2020! I don’t know how much faith I would put in these friendlies with nothing on the line.

Almost got caught out thinking the first game was Thursday, not Wednesday, whoops

Think it'll deffo be a BB job, probably making sure to cover off Auba, Aguero, De Bruyne and Sterling. 2-3Sheff Utd defence, and probably chuck a Villa keeper in too, whilst keeping Grealish.

I love too tinker too much! Had a regiggle of the free hit.
Baldock > O'Connell
Stevens > Egan
Laca > Jimenez
McGinn > Pepe

Thinking behind it being cant see McGinn doing too much. Pepe in for him covers me taking Laca out so still have two Arsenal attackers and I'll take my chances with Jimenez vs West Ham over one game.


Leno
Lundstram Egan O'Connell
Grealish Pepe KDB Sterling
Jimenez Aguero Auba

Even if Lundstram doesn't start I expect him to feature in both games and there is always a chance he can deliver something.

Good looking team. I'd probably not bother with Pepe as he's costly and not sure he's done enough to show he's worth it, even 2 games versus a Bruno or someone.

Lundstram is an interesting one. Was essential for ages, then inexplicably axed. I eventually took him out, then he hauled the next game! So it's probably safest to have him in there, and i like the triple header back line.
I'd probably have a Villa keeper too on my BB.

Henderson - McCarthy

TAA - Baldock - Soyuncu - Fernández - Lascelles

Bruno - Mané - KDB - Moutinho - McCarthy

Rashford - Auba - Jiménez​

Made some changes, reasonably happy with that. Any suggestions? Not too sure on the backline; Soyuncu, Fernández and Lascelles are all very replaceable.

Is Martial stuck on to continue playing? I have him but with Rashford and Pogba out previously his position in the first team was nailed.

Huh? Free hit will overwrite any transfers you make for this week if you use it before the deadline whether you've confirmed them or not. Any transfers you made before the game restarted i.e during the break will be ok though. It's not complicated.
Dammit, that way, there's no reason to throw the freehit this gw. Would be great for ud without wildcard left, if you could set your team up now for upcoming weeks (gw31+ and on), hit save, then do freehit and only pick players for dgw30+

Another tinker and reshuffle on my free hit. Which players do I fancy could beat a DGW scoring player. Two for me, Jimenez vs West Ham and Trent vs Everton. So I took my cheapest Sheff Utd defender out for Trent, did Leno to Hendo, and then Lacazette who Im not sure will play and has been iffy out for Jimmy...

Lot of folks with Lundstram in their teams. But isn't he no longer a guaranteed starter or have I missed something?

He's only failed to feature in one game though. And even in a 15 minute cameo he's good enough to come up with a goal or assist. Worth the risk.

I've heard that this will be the only DGW left for FPL so people will use BB. But isn't the FA Cup will also continue later?
Is it confirmed that there won't be any more DGW or is it just speculation?

He lost his place and won it back fairly quickly I recall. Scored a brace too. Not as nailed as some in the team but almost certainly worth a gamble with his attacking potential. He only needs a single attacking return and a clean sheet to rake in the points.

Thinking no Arsenal players at all now on my Free Hit. Maybe just Leno for some potential save points vs City and a hopefull clean sheet against Brighton.

Now to decide which 3 City players to take in this round of Pep roulette. Obviously the attackers have all the upside but the new 5 subs rule might be of benefit to defenders if they come off early wih a clean sheet intact.

I'm on this 11 at the moment - Leno, Lundstram, O' Connell, Stevens, Sterling, KDB, Salah, Grealish, Aguero, Abraham, Jimenez

Jimenez, Abraham, Salah being my single gw punts. All could haul with those fixtures.

Got no idea what to do really. Any of these players could be coming back unfit.

De Bruyne looked like a fat shit in a pic I saw the other day.

I've decided I'm not going to be free hitting or bench boosting this week.

I'm not really sure why, either.

So I have to make my transfers first, before clicking on free hit?

After a free hit GW your team returns to what it was before that GW. So basically you can't make any actual transfers this GW if you use free hit.
I want to use Free Hit this Gameweek, do I have to make my transfers first before selecting free hit, because it won't let me just click on it.

Edit: Seems so

The Free Hit chip is played when confirming your transfers
Edit, edit:

So, there are unlimited free transfers this Gameweek?

Edit, edit, edit:

Ah, feck it!

Pretty sure I will Bench Boost in 30+ and Wildcard in 31+. That just seems the move with the most possible gains to climb the ranks. I'm not in a mini-leagues with a lead I am looking to defend. I will probably go with the full complement of 12 DGW players and keep a couple of others that I have funds invested in. Something like this:


I can then Free Hit in either 38+, or if I can also use it if have a significant number of players out with short-term injury or being forced to isolate.

You think Lundstram will start?
