Now I'm thinking -8 for a full 11 and free'ing up the Son > Salah money early.

T Silva, Salah, Dennis > Thomas, Barnes, Kane

£2.7m in the bank

GW30 team would be

Ramsdale (Foster)
Cash Thomas Saiss (TAA) (Cancelo)
Saka Son Kulu Barnes Ramsey
Kane Watkins (Weggy)

I actually don't mind this as Thomas and Ramsey are good bench fodder that I don't need to touch again. Maybe Ramsey > Gordon at some point.

A guy in my league who was leading for a decent length, albeit having wazzed chips away early on, ended up with Joelinton captain and Broja VC this week.

Just :lol:

He'd set it that way last week, which was already daft, and obviously missed the deadline to boot.

The ultimate over focus on the double gamer. A 1 goal striker who actually plays in midfield. Terrible.

Just great... The moment I triple captain Salah, he is doubtful for Arsenal game. Just my rotten luck in this game as always.

Looks like Digne won't be fit for the weekend... useless cnut he's been for me!
Brings my total number of players down to 8. 9 when I use my FT. Could be tempted to take a hit for the right player...

If you can get to about 8-9 players using one hit, there's no point. More upside using it on GW33 or GW36.

I could only field 5 players. Had to use it. Still have one more to use. Will use free transfers to build for 36 and then BB

8 but one is Digne.

2 FTs though.

Hold?
I would hold. Use the 2 free transfers and get that team to 9 players (or take a hit and have 10 like me).

Assuming you own:

One of Kane/Son
Kulu or a Spurs defender
Jiminez
Raphinha
At least two of Ramsdale, Tierney, Saka, Martinelli, Laca or Odegaard.

That's pretty much all the main players covered.

What is the FH template for next GW?

Sa
Gabriel (Coady/Cash) Tierney
Raphinha Kulu Son Coutinho Saka
Kane (C) Toney

Martinez, Daka, (Cash/Coady), Dawson

Double Arsenal defense may end in tears. Could go double Wolves defense instead. Any must have players that I have missed.

Damn should not have sold Cancelo for Doherty. It has some logic that I would gain 3 games vs 1 and would free up cash for a striker to replace Broja or King.

Yet did I have any faith in Spurs def for clean sheet? Answer is no. Do I want Doherty long term? Probably not. Do I think he starts every game? No.

What is left is hoping for attacking returns when he plays and rate him as more attacking than Cancelo.

There are 2 pretty beefy DGW's yet to come after the FA Cup rescheduled games come in and assuming the ties go as expected apparently. I'm saving my 2 FH's for those. If not they are a nice tool to skip "bad" GW's for your team (i.e. when the top teams are playing each other/injuries to key players etc) in the last few rounds.
Yeah, I mean my team this week of Ramsdale, Tierney, Doherty, Saka, Kulusevski and Kane (+1 Free Transfer, so Countinho, Toney, or someone). Which feels light.

However, I look at it as gaining 4 fixtures if I use the Free Hit this week, and all those fixtures are a bit meh in my opinion (I don't strongly fancy Wolves, Villa or Leicester). If I save my FH's for doubles, I can potentially gain a lot more than 4 fixtures.

It does feel wrong having 2FH's and fielding only 7 players this week though...

Need some help on GW30 and GW31

Current team for GW30:

Ramsdale
Tierney, Davies, Digne, Rudiger
Willock
, Raphinha, Saka, Kulusevski
Kane, Jimenez

Subs: Dubravka, Salah, TAA, Broja

2.0 in the bank.

8 players playing

I am 100% using my free transfer for Willock to Barnes.

9 players playing and 1.2 in the bank.

Now I can do one of these two plans:

OPTION 1: Take a hit to drop Digne for Coady. Then next week take a hit to do Jimenez and Coady to Weigy and Cancelo.

OPTION 2: Roll in with 9 players GW30 and then next week take a hit to do Jimenez and Digne to Weigy and Cancelo.

Thoughts?

I mean nobody can help with that. It's basically whether you think Wolves will keep a clean sheet or not isn't it. If they do it will be worth it, if not it won't. He's probably not gonna score again. I suppose the old -4 is actually a -2 applies here, so you're looking at a 2 point swing either way. Hardly game changing.

It seemed complicated until you put it like that.

I was wondering if there was another option I haven't considered?

Hate the idea of bringing in a CB for a hit only to replace him the following week for a hit :lol:

If Cancelo wasn't playing Burnley GW31, I could have just saved the second hit.

That's the thing it's just a one week punt. If you're gonna do it then wait for those odds things to come out and pick the defender that you can afford with the biggest chance of a return.
