I'm probably going to FH next week as all those DGW players next week are not the kind you want long term.
Fantasy Premier League 21/22
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
@dirtyschwein did a couple of long ish posts on it a day or 2 back. Probs 1 page or 2 back.
Great i'll take a look, thanks both!
Interesting he did a wildcard.
I think Free hit GW 30 is required. Which means either wildcarding now to plan for the future 2 weeks and keeping a spare free hit for the end of the season.
Or FH now, then Wildcard next week for the future.

FA Cup weekend. There will definitely be blanks.
Who was the eedjat that convinced me to keep Cornet ahead of Foden?
Phew. Think us non FH got away with it with United and City blanking.
Lovely stuff. Think Foden was the least picked of the City mids as well.
Shame that City got that late winner though.
72 + whatever dross Weghorst serves up in the next match. Really had no choice but to FH this week, but that's disappointing. Whiffed on captain Fernandes. Doubt this made up enough ground after last weeks disaster. If had captained any other player, it'd have been a haul or a cleanie. [Sighs]

Yeah massively, non-Free Hitters have come out on top there. Burnley flopping too.
72?! That's one heck of a haul.
I was happy enough with 40 looking at other scores in my league, with Brownhill, Weigy (c) to play again and Bowen to play tomorrow.
The free hitters are only 45-55 so far, which doesn't seem a great result.
Wow such a disaster free hit. My rival/friend with Foden, Laporte, Ben Davies, Cancelo, Sanchez, Son (cap) Watkins, King, Maupay outscored me and still got Bowen and Coady left.
No Burnley players though so I got a chance.
Wish I went for some swedish players. Krafth, Lindelöf, Kulusevski all did well and Elanga got the same as Bruno anyway.

Yeah that Foden goal was annoying but I got away with it as my rival has him but also Bruno and Mahrez. Could and should have been a disaster.
Yeah, I think most of free-hitters missed the mark. I was expecting more, but I shouldn't be that disappointed I guess. I followed my plan which to WC to get Salah back after AFCON, FH this week and then settle in save the 2nd FH for a future DGW and the BB for 36 (I think Schwein posted recently which week we should consider the BB). However, I'm reading that some still have all 4 chips, and this week probably just wasn't enough to hang with those guys when I've burned those chips the last couple of weeks.
I have 4 chips, and am hopeful that I can use them better than the free hitters who have only narrowly beaten my total this week!
Yeah free hit been a bit of a let down, I’m on 60 with 3 to go. Pretty disappointed not to get anything from Mahrez, Sancho, Broja.
I’ve been looking at my team for next week and I’m very happy with it already, so as I said before, I’ll be judging whether this has been a success after 30.

Humble brag alert
60 plus maybe 10 for those other 3 certainly won't be a poor score this week!
I think Free hit 29 looks decent given that teams like Newcastle and Everton double that you do not want to keep players from.
Exactly my point, hence my disappointment
. Well done to keep those chips!Well they are all Burnley…Humble brag alert

I think it’s the disappointment of having two of my premiums benched. Plus I don’t think 60 is anything to write home about on a free hit.
60 is bloody good I have 47. Did you go for Foden? I think Foden was the only none defender that hauled so far that I did consider.
I think I shall sell Cancelo and go without City soon.
43 with 3 to play including captain Weghorst. No chips used. Not awful, not amazing.
Guita not playing was a pain. No keeper.

I don't get this.
Doubles in 28:
Soton
Newcastle
Wolves
Watford
Leeds
Villa
All jobbers above.
Doubles in 29:
Brighton
Spurs
Brighton
Liverpool
Everton
Newcastle
Surely FH in 28 is better as you can easily hold Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool players?
Would have been better if Spurs were kept quiet as well. Lost me 18pts
Yh agree. Either FH 28, or WC 28 but cover both weeks with it.
Doubles 28 play in 30 so is quite good to have. 29 picks I am not sure I want to keep that long since they mostly blank in 30 apart from Arsenal.
I guess you pick Liverpool players anyway.
Yup. I was nervous. It’s always Liverpool saving me. 53 with 4 to play excluding bonus’s. Hopefully the extra FH takes me to the top of my work league. Just about 10 points behind now.
I have no interest in loading up on this dgw28 players on a free hit as well while leaving singles like Liverpool out. Will be different if Chelsea Norwich comes into picture but from the others j have 1 Soton, can get 1 Newcastle and maybe 1 Wolves. Have Coutinho and Raphina from Villa and Leeds and don't want literally anyone from Watford. That's enough for me.
I had Kane so don't mind that.
No, had Mahrez. My defence did the job, Cancelo, Livra and Digne all returning. Also got captain right with Kane.
Aah you did free hit without going for Burnley much. Trusting them was my error just cause they had a double.
I always go for guys with doubles. Dennis and Weghorst really letting me down.
My dear boy… you do realise the alternative if City fail to win the PL?
Of course. I was talking from an FPL point of view. Nobody wants to see that lot winning it again.
Most will have a few Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal so a FH that week feels pointless as those are the best players anyway.
Yep, this is what i'll be musing on all week.
See how the Chelsea double sits when announced.
And finally move the 3 United on, and not even consider their players for the next 3 game weeks.
Think the Liverpool game can be moved if Liverpool win their cup game too.
Fantasy footy should come a long way below real life stuff.
I have dropped almost 500 000 spots the last two weeks 
I really need weghorts to haul
I really need weghorts to haul
True, but I feel like that for most doublers. You can always bring in the best picks and I rather have Salah in 1 game than Ben Mee in 3.
Like if you free hit in 28 you probably go without many City and Liverpool, but in the reverse games Cancelo and TAA smashed it so going without them can still backfire.
Picking Digne, KWP and Saiss can still easily go wrong.
Especially when it involves the dippers grabbing their 20th league title.
Left Foster on the bench to start Pope for the latter's DGW
Yeah. 72 is an unbelievable score.
