FH latest draft (DGW in bold):

Schmeichel
Telles,
Laporte, Schar
Son, Barnes, Fernandes, Saka, KDB
Ronaldo, Wood

Subs: Foster, Cedric, Veltman, Dobin

Thoughts anyone? @Moby @Sandikan @BeforeKeanetherewasRobson @CassiusClaymore @others
Maddison seems to be a miss. Most FH will have both Barnes and Maddison.

I think if you are set on FH just go full pelt on dgw with some cover in city def Salah and Son/Kane. Rest just go for it.

Laporte to Gabrie/White/Burn I think. KDB to Kane.

Although depend how much risk do you want to take?

I think I would go double Newcastle or Leicester def if you go risky. I think they have best chance for double clean sheet.

We have best odds for 1 clean sheet only so more safe I guess.
Yeah I may go double Newcastle. Laporte just in there to cover Cancelo but you may be right.
Maddison seems to be a miss. Most FH will have both Barnes and Maddison.

Yeah Maddison is someone i can easily get but I'm just worried about rotation. Will see how many minutes he plays in Europe...
Brave to have Ronaldo, but sort of alluring. As is having 3 United with a game v Liverpool too. However, could be huge points of difference when we batter Norwich 1-0 :drool:
Gotta have faith in the guys (and prep for a double meltdown).

If you go one City defender on free hit I go Cancelo. Most of the time they get similar points, but Cancelo often get bonus and might get an assist as well.
Laporte header could happen, but it more rare than Cancelo returns.

I get it you then need to downgrade KDB to Maddison possibly which may not be bad. The rotation risk is a problem though. One game each and KDB wins more often than not.

Looks like taking Salah out for the promise of a 2 gamer elsewhere has to be done, doesn't it?
TAA too.

Then try not to cry too much if they smash us 3-0 with both their boys going appenhaller.

Yeah I think Salah should go on free hit he cost too much. Not fully sure about selling him myself just yet.

Was set on getting Bruno, but do not want Bruno long term.

I get Son for Salah after this game I think. I am 90% sure I want Son over Salah, but it is that feeling if Salah turn it on and Liverpool win the quadruble.
Not having Salah for that makes it worse. Although Son is going to keep ruin my rank and even more if everyone else captains him. Just watching Son he is in top form and Spurs in form as well.

Madness - they are levels above us + we seem on holiday. Salah in a 2-0 / 3-0 win is a no brainer to me

I think he is doing it for free hit. I will not free hit so I think I keep Salah.
Although you can argue that Son is better.

On free hit I think Bruno is better than Salah for example. Then you want Son and other mids with doubles.

Yeah the issue is with Cancelo, I'm having to downgrade elsewhere. The only way is if I downgrade KDB.

FPL above all else is meant to be fun and it's gonna be mega fun having 3 United players and no Liverpool in the match.

You seem to have put some United players in by accident.
I am pretty sure when you look at expected points by bookies and experts.

Then Bruno will be first and Ronaldo second over the double.

Only concern I have with Ronaldo is if he do start both games. I guess he will see we have noone else really.

Also these predictive points methods usually rarely change based on form since they use longterm stats.
Going for form players like Son often work in my opinion.

The odds for him scoring is around 40% by bookies. Personally think in reality it is way higher right now after he scored 6 goals in last 3 games.
Kane on the other hand got 50% chance of scoring, but watching it feels too high compared to Son. I know he can always get a pen though.

Just realised I have 2 free hits. I thought I used 1 previously.

So what to do with 2 free hits and a bench boost?

Ramsdale
Livramento - Dier - Rudiger - TAA
Maddison - Salah - Kulusevski - Saka
Toney - Kane

Dubravka - Broja - Coady - Countinho

I'd play Dubravka over Ramsdale and maybe Broja over Dier for a start. Or you could swap out Coady and Coutinho for a couple of cheap doublers and BB this week.

Whatever you do with your FH's - remember you can't use them in consecutive weeks.

I still have two FHs so I reckon I have to use one this week. I’d normally want to use them both in 36 & 37 but they cannot be used two weeks in a row.

My team looks almost fine for this week though, I may only do 2-3 changes on a FH. Having three Liverpool players is essential despite doubles for other teams.

I'm setting up my team with FT's for 36 BB, then FH 37.

Are the fixtures on the FPL site confirmed now for 36 or can there be more changes?

I think maybe go for Pukki and a Everton, Leicester attacker.

Saved up 2 FTs to use BB this week, and decided to go ahead and stick to my plan, but since I lost Doherty went ahead and took a -4 now to stay on track and try to field a full 15.

Ramsdale De Gea
Targett - Robbo - Rudiger - Schar - Andersen
Son - Salah (C) - Havertz - Odegaard - Kulu
Antonio - Laca - Broja

7 DGWs and saved my last FH, but took a -4 hit. 2.5 mil ITB. I’m happy with this, now just sit back and watch it all fall apart.

My ML rival sold out by burning his WC last week, and there’s no way he can chip his way into contention. I should bury him this week.

Instead of Davies you could consider Matip. Or possibly Laporte so you have double city at the back. It might be tough looking at your balance in the bank but don’t go for Stones because Dias will be back fit soon. Instead of Livramento could look at a Newcastle defender (Schär?)

Could also consider Gordon as your midfield enabler; I think he’s around 4.6 at the moment (although tough fixtures for the next 2 or 3 gameweeks and then he has back-to-back doubles for 36 and 37)

Pretty solid team

Any Chelsea fans on here that can guide us on whether or not Werner and Alonso are nailed in the starting 11 now? Worth a punt on Werner?

Ugh. I really don't want United players but with back to back doubles you'd have to consider it I guess.

Was consider selling Rudiger, but of course the fecker scores in CL.

I still think Cancelo is better on everything apart from goal threat. Rudiger higher chance to score a goal even if it is still low.

Of course if Chelsea play us in a double I need to keep him and Reece James.

I think they will start Rudiger in the league pretty much all games. There is a tiny chance they win the title so they need to go for it.

Have just 0.3m in the bank so can't really get Laporte. And the reason, why I'm not going for Gordon/Schar was tough fixtures. Will require one of Hall, Livra and Broja to play in every game

Does it makes sense to freehit this week as I have two left. I also have BB and TC left out of which the former I’ll use in 36

currently I have 3 doublers and Kdb, Salah, Taa, Kane , Rudiger to name a few

I’m 4 points ahead in my mini-league and the guy below me has 2 doublers and no FH left

Unless your team is going to have real issues one gw coming up in terms of bad fixtures it sort of has to be this GW. 36 and 37 both chunky DGW's but you can't play FH in consecutive weeks.

Have one FH and one BB. I only have 2 DGW players this week. Should I FH?

I have Salah, Son, Kulu, Cancelo, Rudiger, TAA. It almost seems like I will not be making too many changes even with a FH.

Urgh indeed. Might go back to my original plan of Kulu > Sancho and Watkins > Broja. If he (Sancho) doesn't get anything I can easily switch to Havertz, Mount or Foden next week.
