Perhaps if your thinking ahead to losing Son and Wilson for 2 DGW players (say) you could free up some added cash by downgrading Dias to Stones.

Maybe if Randolph (4.4M) is gonna play BB comes into the picture for you but needs at least an extra transfer/hit.

Cheers, not a fan of losing Dias though. Will take a break from it for two weeks and then come back to it with fresh eyes and more info maybe!

Far more negatives than positives to Free Hitting now rather than just before the deadline. Pick a team you are happy with now but leave .2 or .3 in the bank for contingency and all should be good.

Bench boost in 19 is getting more ropey now with all the cancelled games post-deadline

Been preparing for weeks for free hit and bench boost the following week, so much so that I’m down to having just 5 players for next week. I’ll have to use the free hit next week, but very nervous about using bench boost the following week.

The BGW is a disaster really - even if you have 9 players - games getting cancelled and city players rotation risks, could leave ya with 6.

Yeah concentrating on that Man City midfield of Sterling and KDB has really backfired on me. I honestly thought an upsurge was in form was coming. But with possible rotation and games called off it has gone the opposite way.

Question: if you were to pick a cheap forward (besides Rodrigo) for DGW19 who would you pick?

One of these West Brom ones:

Robinson, Grant, Austin v West Ham and Wolves

OR

Decordova-Reid v Man Utd and Chelsea

OR

Welbeck v Leeds

Do you want any long term? If not I wouldn't bother.

Could you stretch to Antonio? Otherwise I wouldn't bother tbh!

No it would be just trying to squeeze in a DGW player or basically a better one than Brewster.

My other alternative is dumping Robertson, doubling up on West Ham defence and double leeds attack for a -8 Bench boost. I have been trying to figure it out for the last few days. Keep going from no bench boost - TC. To bench boost -8.

Even considered getting rid of Salah for Fernandes. But I think I would have to wait the week after for that. No doubt whatever I do it will be shoulda,woulda, coulda.

Nope I will end up having to scratch around for a really cheap defender, or going without Salah. Rashford instead of Salah and getting a Chelsea defender.

It is the west ham defenders I think who will do the best over the DGW? Maybe that route is the best instead.

Shedite27 · 02-01-2021 06:29PM

So what 3 Newcastle defenders are people choosing for the Free Hit team

Wilson would be a better shout IMO

I am surprised there is not more in the free hit drafts. I’m going for at least one of not two along with Wilson

City mid and Watkins over Salah and Davis

Currently have Darlow, Lewis and Wilson. Sheffield United are woeful

Lewis has been dropped for Ritchie. Unfortunately I have him in my 11 for next week so I'll be hoping Brewster finally scores.

Yedlin is the same price if you are on a fee hit.

For anyone playing FH for next week, are any of you waiting a while before pulling to trigger on the FH button? Saw a few bits on Twitter with people saying they're going to wait a while, can't really see what the value is in that if you're pretty sure you're going to play it. I will certainly be playing it as I have very few playing players. I guess if more games will be added to the GW or something, that could change. Do any of you have any thoughts on this?

I hit the button last night. I was always going to play it for his GW, so unless there are massive amounts of games called off it wont bother me. I had a team built up for the DGW so nearly all my players for that play twice so i had to option but to play the FH

jill_valentine · 02-01-2021 09:29PM

Mitchell aside, are there any 4m defenders likely to scrape anything this BGW? I have a transfer to use, might as well shuffle some bench fodder for a point or two. Maybe Dunne?

Plenty of time till the gameweek and the Covid situation is getting worse in the UK, could easily see games called off and you'd have burned the chip for nothing

Shedite27 · 02-01-2021 10:07PM

I understand the risk of Covid, but I pressed the button today too.

hupskip · 03-01-2021 03:37AM

Hi guys, this question has probably my been asked before but if I make a transfer now for GW18 and then use my FH chip later on will that player still be in my team for GW19 or will they be included as part of the FH?

Cheers

Any transfers you make from now will be part of the free hit. Your gw 19 team will be back to what it is now and you’ll have 1 free transfer

joeyboy11 · 03-01-2021 05:25AM

This is my free hit draft activated tonight. I won’t let covid ruin the fun of playing it!

Darlow
Cancelo, Holding, Dias
Kdb, Bruno, Rashford, Son, Grealish
Kane, Wilson

Playing subs: Mitchell, Brewster

It’s nice to have one week of not being terrified of the Son/Kane combo.

I’m not sure on Grealish. Between him and Zaha.
Does the fact I have value built up in Grealish matter if I transfer him out on free hit and then want to get him back on the free hit draft again? Say if zaha got injured in training the day before the deadline?

I'm of the same thinking, going to wait until last minute to activate the FH chip. It's so far away from now anything could happen. Could end up being only 2/3 games on, what's to say and then you may just use a FT and a -4 to try get 6/7 players and roll on.

My team is aimed towards DGW19 now and that's my main worry.

I'll take BGW18 as it comes, I've a feeling it's going to be a disaster either way.

Same as that. Really think it's bordering on foolish to activate the chip now.

I wouldn’t be sure about two United attackers away to Burnley. Can you get Sterling instead of Rashford? Arsenal are playing well, play home to Palace and you have no Arsenal attacker.

Degag · 03-01-2021 02:29PM

FIrst draft for when i do activate FH. Sure it will change alot.

Darlow
Cancelo, Saiss, Tierney
Bruno, KDB, Saka, Neto
Kane, Wilson, Aguero

Steer, Dier, Yedlin, Smith Rowe
