But this unlimited transfers is in effect a free wildcard, and with no other double game weeks, they can't be as exposed by stuff like the usual FA cup quarter final situation, where you can really be caught out without a free hit.
12 DGW players is overkill imo. Obviously you can WC the following week but that would mean losing money if you buy back players you're selling for one week. I've got so much value tied up on the likes of TAA, Salah, Martial, Bruno, Jimenez, Jota, Ings. If I sell any of them now I can't really justify buying them back the following week.
Again that's a good point.
Personally I had 2 already.
I think it could be, but Sane should be back. Pep usually likes to play Sterling though although his form was poor before the break.
I considered these and went with Bruno.
Martial is going to be playing behind arguably the best midfield in the league. if I was you I would find a way to include him and bruno. If I was to make only one pick I would go with bruno because he is on setpiece and penalty duties.
Interesting question as I had been planning to play my free hit before the unlimited transfers was announced

Richarlison is a gamble because Everton themselves are a gamble.
There was a tweet clarifying this scenario by FPL. Basically if you play FH you get back your squad at the end of the last gameweek.
Not a bad idea at all! I like this.
Ah right - in which there is absolutely no point in using the FH since there is unlimited transfers anyway
Unless you like the squad you currently have and would like to free hit to maximize the dgw. Some folks used all the free transfers during the down time to modify their teams significantly.
Which is exactly what I did but still wasting a FH when unlimited transfers are available doesn't seem logical. The only reason is to preserve value in players that have gone up a lot.
If you've been making transfers during the break you shouldn't lose them. I have and have a fairly balanced squad but I can use FH to stack with 11 dgw players if I want and not have to carry them through the following gw's or revert back to my GW29 team. It's only the transfers you make now during the build up to this gw that will be lost.
Or if you don't have a wildcard, already have a team you like for the long term but also want to go heavy on this DGW.
Exactly right. The only card I have left is FH so I might as well use it this week to bring in 3 x City attackers, 3 Sheffield United defenders and Grealish as a starter.
Also worth noting that this will likely be the only DGW this season barring postponements caused by the coronavirus itself. So if you don't use one of your chips on this one then you'll probably be using them in a SGW.
Ye actually I'm coming back round to sticking with my original plan to FH this week, too many scenarios to compute!
True - I still have my original WC so didn't think of that
Yeah if you've got a wildcard and BB that's a no brainer imo.
Players won't drop until after the deadline. Regarding Ings his long term fixtures aren't the greatest and he probably won't start every game given his injury history. No room for him with the likes of Aguero/Auba (DGW), Rashford, Jimenez/Jota and even possibly Kane looking more enticing long term.
Totally this, with the only downside losing player values.
Bench boost.
Can you not do a middle ground job, and cover the 2-3 biggest double game threats, whilst keeping the template you want to go forward with?
I played it by accident first GW.
Can we see your normal 11?
Nice. Thinking of going balls out and something like...
