Are the teams with Kane and Jimi generally because those that can't afford Rash too.

I'd have thought the top 3 forwards would be Aguero/Kane/Rashford

Well possibly Higuain ahead of Rashford but midfield gonna suffer

I don't like Rashford on the wing. If Lukaku is fit, I'm not sure I'll go for him. Someone like Batshuayi could be a better option.

Looking forward to playing the FH to load my squad with DGWers so I can BB . And of course TC aguero
It’s so obvious . Can’t understand why nobody has thought of it yet

Would you not be better off wildying?


On the Wolves lads I think yer right, we’ve seen Doherty rested a couple of times this year. With Jiminez and Rashford so close in price it doesn’t make sense to risk him just playing one game

There's so many players/teams to choose from, unlike gw31 there'll be a lot of variety within the free hit teams. Imo the must haves are;

Aguero
Sterling
Pogba
Hazard

I also definitely want a third city and at least 1 more Chelsea and United player. Beyond that I'm stumped. Kane maybe, though Liverpool away is tough and Palace are usually resilient enough, plus kane takes up a lot of funds.

Who else would people class as must haves/no brainers for a free hit?

I don’t know about Pogba being must have tbh. Without looking at stats it seems like he has become less effective goals & assists wise.

Lukaku is must have for me.

Kane is the real conundrum for me
He eats funds
But he could easily score well
However without him I can afford maybe son and a third decent striker ..........if I was to go for Lukaku ..............
And then I read this

If I need the money I may go off that combo instead as well
Like the Batman pick
However it’s one of him or milli for me . Not both

Very similar all round but I may get go Lukaku and son

Hhhhmmmm am a bit short for son if I want to go 343 instead of 352

The only ‘must haves’ are Aguero and Sterling.

Then it’s 9 others.

I can understand people that won’t want Hazard or Kane or Pogba but most will buy them as they’ll be highly owned.

Kane is the interesting one. Could make or break your GW / season.

Double Palace defence not ideal but I can't have the front 7 otherwise.

Yeah Kane isn't a definite for me, if Lukaku is fit I'll likely go with him. I can see Palace gatecrashing the party in Spurs first game at the new stadium. Spacecraft screamer would be typical

A little secret - Quarner (4.3) is available to select on the iPhone official FPL app.

If anyone is going 4-4-2 or 3-5-2, that extra 0.2 might be invaluable.

For anyone looking at putting Lindelof in, be aware that his wife is due to give birth at the start of April so he could miss the second game in the DGW.

I think Shaw misses the second game as well if he picks up a booking in the first one (9 yellows?)

You'll notice no one blinks when "Spacecraft" or "Kaks" is used, but people will lose their shif I dare to refer to Aguero as Aggy

He could also be a legend and score and then do the baby dance, and get 20+ points in a DGW.

I'd be surprised if this works - Quaner has been removed from the game afaik. I suspect you'll see an error message if trying to add him to your squad no matter the application/platform you're using to access your FPL team.

You seemed to have picked a team based on names, rather than form, I'd have question marks over, Guaita, Hazard, Pogba, Deulofeu, Rashford.

I think you may be over thinking the front 7, with Watford in the semi finals of FA Cup, there is every chance that Gerry will be rested, ala Man city game a few weeks back.

In addition, Pogba has gone off the boil recently, so would you keep him if he only had a single GW?, yes he's on penalties but he's not the most convincing penalty taker in the league. Milivojevic of Palace would probably be a better shout.

Rashford has 1 PL goal since GW23, United have had 2 poor games in a row - yes they need to win to try and get top 4, but what if it's a little more than a blip? Jimmy, Deeney or even Zaha are cheaper and in better form, obv playing time for the first 2 are questionbale given the FA cup.

Hazard has done very little the last few GW's, he scored a last minute goal against wolves and 2 against a terrible Huddersfield - what else has he done to warrant spending 10.9m?

Is Lindelöf worth 5.1m, may miss a game, or may do the baby dance after he scores , but united and clean sheets are few and are between these days.

Mane is in great form 3 double digit scores in last 4 games, form over fixtures and he should be in your team,

Obv your bench is very cheap for a reason, but if someone misses out - you should probably have someone that will be subbing in, even a cheap DGW player from Fulham for instance.

The thing is though he shouldn't have been removed in the first place. He's only moved on loan to Ipswich so should still be available on the Transfers page. It amazes me how they've left Fellaini up there but removed Quaner.

Personally I disagree on Hazard. He's still the 4th highest scoring player in the game with 2 incredibly juicy fixtures. His goals have come almost exclusively against bottom half teams. He hit the post and forced a great save in the first 10 minutes against Evertone (didn't watch the full match). I think he's a must-have this week unless you are really desperate and looking to put forward a team with as many differentials as possible.

Haz, Sterling and Aggy are default players for any FH 32 team imo

Alonso is the highest scoring defender that has a DGW, but I think you'll be hard pressed finding anyone vouching for him for the DGW.

If Liverpool had a DGW now, by your logic Salah would be a must have, since he's the highest scoring player in the game and has it in him to go wild. I wrote so many posts at the start of the season saying Alonso wasn't worth the money - because the state didn't tell the full story - take away the first 4/5 GW's and his points aren't that good - the same can be said for Hazard, he had a spell of 4/5 games in a row where everything he touched turned to goal, but since then he's been more cold than hot.

If Chelsea were playing Fulham and Huddersfield, then I could maybe understand, but they are playing 2 teams which are both fighting for their lives, so they won't be leaving themselves wide open at the back. Excluding the Huddersfield game, Chelsea haven't scored many goals of late, and against Everton they showed nothing in the 2nd half. Everton are a bottom half of the table club.

Not having Hazard allows you to have so much more in your team, and I think people need to see passed the name.

It's interesting that you don't have Pogba in your must halves, I suspect it's for similar reasons to me saying Hazard isn't a must have. But Pogba is about 2m cheaper...

I have Pogba in my team for the record. I could understand the argument for him as a must-have. The reason I wouldn't quite put him in that category is that United's fixtures are pretty decent but not as good as Chelsea's. Watford and Wolves are both really good teams on their day and I imagine a trashing would be unlikely.

Cardiff on the other hand have shown themselves well capable of taking a hiding this season.

Re: Alonso, he's not 100% nailed, and Luiz is cheaper. That's why I wouldn't have him in there despite his overall points tally. Also, unlike Alonso it's not like Hazard's recent form is disgraceful and all his points came early in the season. He has two double digit hauls in his last 6. His hauls have always come sporadically making him frustrating to own, but he's been fairly consistent scoring against the fodder in the league.

I'm considering both but is that overkill? Mili should play 90 mins in both so thats a min 4 points plus maybe a clean sheet point in the Huddersfield. If Zaha is back fit, he's even more enticing. I just don't see any other sub 7m dgwk mid that remotely interests me.

Not at all, if I could I would prob go Zaha + Mili

Budget with a Kun Kane forward line is tight

Green&Red

Do people think Pogba's output is likely to increase again now that Matic is back? There seemed to be a theory that Pogba was playing deeper cause Matic was missing and this affected his output

Is Mili a better option than Deulefou?

Ace2007

Green&Red wrote: »

Straight up I’d have Gerry all the time, problem with this DGW, is that Watford will be resting guys for the FA Cup semi final - they have a very good chance of making the final. They rested Gerry and Deeney for the Man City game for example. So you might only get one game from them. Mili on the other hand will play both games.

Probably 2 main factors in Pogba's drop in points. Injuries to Matic (was back vs Arsenal btw) & Herrera and also Ole going with 2 up top after Lukaku started firing.

I expect him to go back to 1 up now that players are returning from injury. Pogba should be more involved again.

Thats my reading of Pogba too, OGS is likely to revert to what was working for him at the start

I wonder how many iterations of this team I'll go through before next week
Kepa

Aguero-Kane


Hacksaw Jim has played the last six games

As mentioned before - I really, really want Kane but I’m not sure how I fit him in.

Eriksen to a cheapie and play 3-4-3 is the only route that could be semi-realistic and that doesn’t free up anywhere near enough cash unfortunately so is a non-runner.

peps tactics are gonna leave Sterling on the bench in at least one of these games for Mahrez, so I'll decide on captain on Friday.
Wolves have a double GW but blank for GW33

Anyone have any info on Martial & Lukaku? Have both currently but see them flagged. Will they play both?

My FH team is basically a cheap as chips defence and Kane or City/chelsea/Utd cover in defence and Eriksen.

There are pros and cons for both but leaning towards no Kane.

Yeah and it allows me have Azpi, Zaha, De Gea over Shaw, Batshuyi, Kepa etc which makes me feel a lot more positive about things.

The more I look into the Dilva the happier I am with him. There's an article on FFS about the minutes each City player has played and I reckon he might start both games. Particularly if KDB isnt ready by that point.
