Are you sure that TC is wise? Both away from home and off form would be big red flags.

It's a bit of a risk but with Fulham's awful defensive record and the fact Salah is bound to get amongst the goals again eventually I'm just going for it.

I'd never usually use the TC in a single gameweek but the way this season has unfolded it doesn't leave too many more options to use it so I've chosen to go this route.

Transfer banked

This week is operation damage limitation

Gd'luck folks. And happy Paddy's Day

Just the False 9 for me (-4)

Boruc,
Robertson, Pereira, Luiz, Rice,
Anderson, Salah(c), Brooks,
Vardy(vc)

sanket · 16-03-2019 4:17am

News of Mane Rested/Injured making me me nervous.
Will probably do Mane to Siggy and Rondon to Firmino then. Have good amount in bank to fund that.
Free Hit will be worth having after all this week.

COH · 16-03-2019 8:06am

No hits...

Fabianski
Robertson - Perreira - Luiz
Salah - Mane - Richarlison - Anderson
Wilson - Vardy - Higuain

Made transfers early in the week due to prices and now there seem to be doubts over Mane (rest), Higuain (illness) and Anderson (dropped/poor form) :eek:

Just going to roll with what I have and hope for the best.

ThunbergsAreGo · 16-03-2019 8:11am

-4 and a full 11 though I reckon I will see ten at most start

Boruc

TAA, Robbo, Peirera, Diop

Hazard, Salah, Richy, McNeill

Vardy, Barnes

Trimm Trabb · 16-03-2019 8:18am

Boruc

TAA Robertson Pereria

Salah (c) Anderson Ricky Fraser

King Vardy

jimmii · 16-03-2019 8:51am

Fab
Pereira - TAA - Luiz
Brooks - Hazard - Salah
Firmino - Mitro

No hits so far and cant really see anyone I want to take one for although thinking a hit for Fraser is justified due to 31.

What are peoples thoughts on hits for players like that this week where for this week it's quite marginal?

Chesty08 · 16-03-2019 9:26am

-8

Boruc

Robertson Digne

Salah Mane Fraser McNeil

Wilson Higuain Wood

thomasm · 16-03-2019 9:29am

Have 8 playing and 1 transfer available. Only option would be to bring in defender but none standing out. Have 3 Liverpool inc Allison snd Robo. If you could bring in one defender this week who would it be. Thinking might just bank transfer

F1ngers · 16-03-2019 9:34am

Etheridge,
TAA, Duffy, Matip, Bednarek
Salah(C), Son, Pogba
Vardy(VC), Jiminez, Aguero

Using my 1st bench boost this week. :pac:

Are you free hitting next week? Or what's your plans?

Cartman78 · 16-03-2019 9:52am

sheroman01 · 16-03-2019 9:54am

Would love to own Wilson or Fraser. Raging I brought in King the other week. Hope he will turn good.

Just 8 players, 9 if Puncheon manages to get minutes.

Boruc
Robertson Perierra
Salah (c) Mane Maddison (Puncheon)

If it's covering you for 33 it can be justified due to appearance points

If your plan is to FH GW32 then you have to be looking at a -4 for puncheon for player who plays both 31 and 33.

Lemlin · 16-03-2019 10:12am

Fabianski
Schindler, Ake, TAA
Hazard, Salah, Mane
Vardy

Transfers were Aguero to Vardy and Son to Hazard.

Hazard I'm not too keen on but Everton have just been so poor defensively.

I have another reason that i wouldn’t even consider it
This week he will be captained by the bast majority of players
So you are only in effect “captaining “him over most
.i.e. getting one extra set of points
On any other given week for rest of season bar maybe 33 your TC will have much more of an effect imo

Benimar · 16-03-2019 10:36am

-4 (Hazard & Wilson for Son and Aguero)

Alisson
Robertson, David Luiz
Salah(c), Hazard, Richarlison, Anderson, Brooks
Vardy, Wilson

Will FH in 32.

km79 · 16-03-2019 10:41am

Just seen the mane news in injury thread
Mother ****er
I checked klopps press conference and twitter before making the transfer last night
Was between him and hazard

ScummyMan · 16-03-2019 10:48am

Fabianaki
Robbo Luiz
Salah(c) Mane Hazard
Vardy Mitro Wilson

-4 taken, would have had 10 if not for Lascelles deciding to do his knee in. Might only have 8 now with Mane

rekluse · 16-03-2019 10:53am

60 points ahead in my money league. Have 3 players playing this weekend and 2FT, guess I have to free hit ? Not sure what to do as I’ve no idea what the story is with DGW’s etc now.

WC and BB, have been slacking lately on FF and kinda lost track of blanks/dgw’s.

you will just have to suck up the loss of FT and Free Hit
Annoying but not the end of the world.

-8 hopefully this will be the same team for gw33
Fabianski

Wilson,Rondon,Vardy
Subs, Hamer, Pogba, Lindelhof, Valery

extra gravy · 16-03-2019 11:27am

I don't know, he could get to 7 players with a -8? Which in reality is a - 4. Really think the free hit will be more valuable for 32.

Only having three this week means he has 12 with possible DGW next week. FH this week then TC or BB the next

bezuaua · 16-03-2019 11:30am

Will Manchester United and Wolves play twice next GW (32) ?

I just wish he'd said Fraser will be ok instead of should be ok! Given that prognosis I guess worst case scenario is he misses out and gets 2 points in 33 but the upside more than makes up for that risk.

Porthallian · 16-03-2019 11:35am

What outcome are we hoping for in the Watford v Palace game FF wise?

Eddie Howe is a pathological liar. If he says Fraser is Ok, he's possibly already died from his injuries and certainly won't be playing this weekend

macraignil · 16-03-2019 11:52am

Free hit team playing and hoping for a West Ham clean sheet and Mane to make the Liverpool team selection. Guessing that him missing training as some people have posted might have been enough of a rest.

Fabianski
Alexander Arnold, Diop, Rice
Hazard, Mane, Salah(c), Sigurdsson
Vardy(vc), Rondon, Wilson

Boruc, Richarlison, Pereira, Digne

Would have selected Fraser and Higuain if there were not doubts about them playing.
Good luck and happy St. Patric'ks weekend.

It's a tricky one. I'm in favour of going big on hits for players that will play in GW31 and 33 as the hit will be wiped out by appearance points and anything else you get will be a bonus. I'd take a - 8 or -12 if I was your position and free hit next week but others here would disagree.

In the situation of 3 playing it would be a good week for the free hit in my opinion as you will get the benefit of 8 more players scoring you points. Pity about loosing the extra free transfer but if your team is doing that well maybe there were no major changes required to the team anyway.

I think we overthink things
He has 3 players. Use FH
If he has 12 players with no game this week they will likely have doubles anyway
Sometimes absolutely no planning is rewarded..........

rekluse · 16-03-2019 12:03pm

Cheers for the advice lads think I’m gonna FH.
