Going for a BB this week, think I'm all set with my team.

Main decision is who to punt on for the last two midfield spots, with a budget of 13.1 (KDB, McGinn, and Grealish being the other 3).

At the moment I have it on Harvey Barnes and Zaha. Both have nice fixtures, Barnes in form, Zaha not having a great season but he is a proven performer who should be central to what Palace do.

Other options might be:

- Martial and Cantwell
- Ozil and Traore

Any other ideas for punts in this mid-range midfield brackets?

Fleck - Sheffield Utd
Mount - Chelsea
Henderson - Liverpool

Can someone help out here?

Ive made a few changes to my team with the unlimited transfers and saved my team. If i now use a free hit to change more players for this week, which team will i reset back to for next game week? My original team before i made the changes for GW30+ or my team before i made them changes?

Reset back to the original team .i.e the one you had during the time the game was closed
Any transfers you made this week will be overridden

Naby Keita is going to light it up lads with no crowd. Will be one of the standout players towards end of season (if he gets the game time which I think he will)

Hard to think why the lads who have been in insane form all season would suddenly be dropped for him. Henderson and Wijnaldum unlikely to be going anywhere.

Sorry lads been out of the loop here for months and just looking at my team again for the first time in ages. I thought I read there was unlimited transfers before the next gameweek but when I try and make a load of transfers it asks me do I want to play my free hit. What am I missing here? I don't want to lose my free hit if there are unlimited transfers.

Just don’t play the free hit and you will have unlimited transfers anyway

Got it. Didn't actually scroll down past the free hit option but see it now.

With so many free transfers this week and people playing FH and beacuse he will be so long, think next week going see a crazy amount of price rises, not much at this stage but could be nice catch a few early rises for this BB and WC next week,

Prices frozen

So using Free Hit this week is a total waste?

I know frozen for this week, but are they back functional next week?

It depends on whether you want your team back for GW31+, whether you have a bench boost to use, whether retaining team value is important to your plans for future gameweeks etc. Its probably not an option that most will take but can make sense in the right circumstances

Decided to go with FH this week. Its my only remaining chip and really like my current team so would prefer to get it back next week.

Very similar to mine
I am still torn on whether to go for Pepe or a sgw striker
If I go Pepe it leaves nothing in the bank and nothing on the bench bar greenwood and Egan and o Connell as my sheff Utd defenders

If I go for someone like Abraham or even Rashford instead of Pepe I can have baldock and Stevens instead and have a bench just in case

I have to be very honest . I am also getting more and more tempted by Mahrez instead of sterling ............. I could end up with a huge amount ITB if I do. But given that sheff united and villa make up two of the DGW teams then that is no suprise

Shanotheslayer

Bench Boost and i'm going with this team;

Leno
Targett TAA Lundstram
Mahrez KDB(C) Fleck Grealish
McBurnie Auba Aguero(VC)

Reina Mount Soyuncu Fernandez

Any reason Baldock is being largely looked over?

Price Id imagine
I think I’ll go with him and Stevens

Yeah that's who I'm going with. Was just wondering was there some other reason I wasn't aware of!

I'm considering Mahrez now too and using the funds for someone like Son instead of Fleck. Also considering treble Blades defence, Henderson just feels like a much better option than Leno. Ahhh it's going to be a late night tonight I think! Won't have time for tinkering tomorrow.

ScummyMan

Looking at my Free Hit also I think

Reina
VVD Stevens Egan
KDB Sterling Grealish Fleck
Aguero Auba Rashford

Don’t fancy Pepe, especially not as a double up with Auba
Vardy also under consideration for the third striker spot, but I’d need to find 0.8m from somewhere

Talk me into Rashford
(It won’t take much )
If you need .8 downgrade VVD
I would not have him in this week tbh

They won't be for the first two or three games, but once the league is wrapped up the consensus is there will be a lot of rotation.

I agree with the prediction that he could well have a strong end of season, he's looked sharp in training games, Klopp will want to build up his confidence and give the likes of Hendo and Wijnaldum a well-earned rest. I do think he's one to keep your eye on as he's a lot more forward thinking than any of the usual Liverpool centre-mids. Ox too might be worth keeping an eye on.

And then even Curtis Jones I expect to get a good bit of game time

Morzadec

Any opinions on Samatta at Villa? I know very little about him but he seems to have a good career scoring rate, seems nailed on as the striker and is 5.8 so seems a tempter for a one-week punt...

I think a game like Spurs away is set up perfectly with the way he and Utd like to play on the counter. He has scored more goals against top-half teams than any other forward I believe

Pogba and Bruno playing behind him now so you'd have to think he'll get in behind at least once or twice

Has apparently been on fire in the "pre-season"

The one doubt on my mind is that he may be playing on the left, but he does seem to thrive when cutting inside so not sure that's a negative

Aurier will also be right back .......

My main doubt is how long he will play for .
He is prob not on pens either
It’s going to be him or Abraham I think
And there are doubts over Abraham even starting apparently:(

km79

Hhhmmm
Getting Rashford really limits my ability to get Stevens and baldock
And leaves me with no bench whatsoever .......

Unless I downgrade sterling to mahrez
It’s an option I am seriously considering

I've seen him a couple of times this season and he scored a header in both matches. He's very strong in the air and especially from corners but will rely on the service from Grealish etc as he's not gonna create anything himself. I think he's worth a punt as he looks likely to play both games.

Seems to be very little love for Laporte for this week. He's done well for me in other DGWs so I have him in with Kun and KDB for City.

If not him, then I downgrade and squeeze Mahrez in
