He's place holder. Might go Mane or someone else entirely. He is a nice differential though...

Yeah I think I just sell Mahrez to Zaha. I want to give Mahrez a chance to play more, but Pep will just hurt me.

Think Zaha and Richarlison are the guys I want.

I can do Broja to Richarlison and Mahrez to Zaha. Only issue is I need to bench either Mount or Saka.

Why is everyone going Zaha. I've fallen for that too many times.

Hmmm... Maybe Mount depending on what minutes he plays in the final?

It's that time of the season to get fooled.

I like him though. He is my type of pick. Explosive winger on pens for a weaker side. He is better than Raphinha as well as that type.

Mahrez is exactly the same type, but Zaha is more nailed and that is why it is nice having these picks from weaker sides.

I know some of you guys like more creative central midfielders and I go for them too, but I always expect bigger things from wingers with pens in general.

Zaha on paper is amazing asset but he's also that knob that keeps racking up points when you don't have him and becomes useless when you do.

I'm getting him on FH and already can guarantee he will get 2+1

This season this feels like most players for me in my normal team. Although Sterling and Zaha have been good for my draft team.

My worry with both Villa and palace picks is they got nothing to play for so may rotate, but with 3 games they should play 2 at least.

Zaha has trolled me over the last few seasons but facing us on the last day is very tempting (plus the double), we will concede at least 3.

Current FH team for GW 37.
Had to move early because of pending price increases as I have 0.1m in the bank with this team:

-------------------------Pickford-------------------------------
------------Digne------------Holgate--------------TAA
Son--------Salah--------Zaha--------DeBruyne-------
------Watkins------Richarlison (C)--------Ings

Only bench starter: Alt Nouri

Double gameweek players highlighted.
Will see how Arsenal get on v Spurs. Could still downgrade Ings to Nketiah who plays Newcastle.
Or could play 2 up front and get Diaz in from Liverpool who play Southampton.

This will be 90% of my team though for definite.

Double gameweek punt, played as a striker in the last game, on penalties, has 5 goals in 8 games, or 7 goals in 10 games which is as good as any striker at the minute.
For comparison Kane has 1 goal in 8 games, 3 goals in 10 games.

The worst thing about a Free Hit is you always leave out an 'obvious' pick who scores about 15 points, then you think 'of course, should have got him in'.

So do you guys think Taylor is worth playing next double?

I will probably play him over Reece James and Robertson and suffer.

I think they have a good chance to get a result vs Villa. Then Spurs could be hard, but Spurs have not been flying recently.

Toss up between Holgate and Mina heading into GW36..

Kinda sums up my season when the latter limps off after 18 minutes of a DGW :eek:

Salah with 3 points maybe and I do not own him, but still will get a red arrow most likely. No Robertson is bad.

First round of games went really badly for me. My hope is Mahrez and KDB show vs Wolves.

I say my decision to go without Salah has proven to be the right move for me chasing.

Just annoying that I picked the wrong players to replace him. Had I just gone for Ronaldo and Son over Bruno and Kane I would be killing it.

Meh...

My captain Salah on the bench but at least Matip and Jota are starting.
One of my Head to Head opponents triple captained Salah :lol:
I guess things could be worse.

Fingers crossed for Jota to bag a couple before half-time

Big worry is Ings has been hot, afraid he might get lucky

That Mane winner has just put me back on top in a cash league with 2 games to go..I don't like the pressure.

Do I keep Coutinho now?

I want Richarlison in but it will need to be for Jesus. Could just do that and see if I need to hit on the final day.

Have a feeling he bringing Son in though.

We’ll as a proud Cash, Robbo and Salah (C) manager I can attest that was absolutely f*ing sh*te. I need the North London Derby to be a spectacularly high scoring affair. What I expect we’ll get … 1-0 to Spurs off a Ramsdale OG, a red card for Son and yellows for Odegaard, Nkeitiah, Kulu and Kane. Oh am I’m sure, absolutely positive, somebody will hurt themselves in the warm up, or eat bad lasagna, or catch COVID. It’s written in the stars.

I am 8 points under safety score now. Feels hard.

If Pep can start my 3 players I have a chance.

I need Mahrez to play. He is the best City attacker when starting in theory and I need that to go my way.
Have no idea why Pep wants him in CL, but not for the league so much.

49 with 8 to play. Rival is on 32 with 8 to play. Both captains done. We share 5 of the same players left so it's basically his Schmeichel, Maddison and Pukki vs my Ramsdale, James and Jesus. The latter 2 could just as easily miss out as haul.

So many 50/50 calls have been so brutal this season. Like not just mild swings. Get Dias over Laporte one scores and other gets season ending injury.
