Wish I did now

Father Hernandez · 12-01-2021 1:33pm

Right, no more tinkering.

DDG

Alderweireld, Cancelo, Tierney

Son, Saka, Fernandes, KDB (VC), Gundogan

Kane (C), Lacazette.

Button, Yedlin, Mitchell, Brewster.

Shyed away from dbl United attack due to funds and feel more risky.

3 x City, 3 x Spurs, 3 x Arsenal, 2 x United, 1 x Newcastle, Palace, Sheffield United, WBA

HEWT team. GL all.

ShagNastii · 12-01-2021 1:44pm

Is Cavini worth a shout this GW?

ThewhiteJesus · 12-01-2021 1:51pm

4 bloody transfers to make a team but will use wc for next dgw
Sanchez
Toby Maguire Dias holding stones
Bruno(c) son rashford Saka
Lacca
Good luck all

I personally don’t think so. He may start but a very good chance he is on the bench too

I was all set to go with Martial up until talk of Cavani being started ahead of him. Either way it would be a good chunk of cash to get a 1 point cameo so not selecting either myself. Now have my free hit team as:

De Gea
Saiss, Tierney, Dias
KDB(c), Fernandes, Son, Saka
Kane, Lacazette, Wilson

Norris, Gundogan, Clark, Mitchell

Good luck!

alchemist33 · 12-01-2021 2:45pm

Really glad I'd already planned FH for this week because my head would have melted otherwise. Good luck all!

touts · 12-01-2021 3:01pm

FH this week

DeGea
Tierney, Stones, Cancelo
Bruno (v), Son, KDB (c), Neto
Wilson, Lacazette, Kane

Subs (Areola, Smith Rowe, Clark, Ampadu)

Maybe a newbie question here but if you cant field a full team are you deducted points? (ie -8 for 10 players)

I only have 5 players eligible for this weeks games.

ScummyMan · 12-01-2021 3:10pm

De Gea
Cancelo Dier Tierney Saiss
KDB(c) Bruno Son Gundogan
Lacazette Kane

On free hit, I have been making and reversing the same three transfers all day but think I’ve settled on this.

No you are not punished for fielding less than 11 players.

You can field 1 player, if you like, and receive his points.

With only 5 players playing would you not use the free hit chip ?

I’d never go with 5 players so it’s stick or twist, I’ve made 4 transfers to field 11, I’ll then use wc next week, I’m hoping my strategy pays off over the two weeks

jaykay74 · 12-01-2021 3:29pm

Gambling on saving my free hit. Going with 8/9 depending on Taylor.

No keeper. Son, Kane (C), Bruno, Martial, KDB (vc), Cancelo, Stones, Mitchell, Taylor (maybe)

terminator74 · 12-01-2021 3:31pm

cheers for that
I had 7 players until DCL and El Ghazi weren't playing
My thinking was to use the free hit next week when there are 16 games rather than maximizing my what I can get from these games with lower number of teams/pool of players if that makes sense.
take the hit this week in terms of points; take the free hit next week and maximize what I can get from GW19....

Free Hit already used earlier in season - wildcard next week.

CSWS101 · 12-01-2021 3:46pm

Is Sterling worth the risk?

Mr Moon · 12-01-2021 3:49pm

Does anyone think Andy Carroll will get a start? He looked decent against Arsenal, scored last week...

If you’re wildcard Next week would you not do it this week to set up for gw 18, 19 and beyond?
Might be tight for time on planning though!

Surely if you only have 6 with a game this week, you have a rake of players with Double Gameweeks next week without using the FH, no?

begbysback · 12-01-2021 4:10pm

Free hit activated, expecting nothing short of 80 points, sure what can go wrong.

Dubh Geannain · 12-01-2021 4:18pm

Free Hit:

DDG
Alderweirald, Holding, Stones
KDB, Son, Bruno, Saka, Zaha
Kane, Wilson

Subs: Sanchez, Fabio Silva, Clark, Mitchell

I don't trust Pep

Also I chickened out of a non playing bench

De Gea
Stones Tierney Reguilon Saiss
KDB (c) Bruno Son Gundogan
Lacazette Kane

4.0 Saka Fernandez Brewster

Definitely logging out now :pac:

GetWithIt · 12-01-2021 4:32pm

The FPL site seems to be struggling. Looks like the last minute tinkering is out the window

mdwexford · 12-01-2021 4:41pm

Free hit team

De Gea
Cancelo, Stones, Dier, Maguire
Saka, Kdb, Son, Bruno
Kane, Laca

Any thoughts on changing Stones, Son and Laca to Bellerin, Sterling and Wilson.

Looks worse to me but having Sterling and Kdb v Brighton would be sweet, if they both start which is a risk......

Shanee. · 12-01-2021 4:47pm

Anything to be said for Sterling?

If I knew he was definitely starting I’d make room to get him in.

11.4 mill sitting on the bench would hurt too much this week.

claw · 12-01-2021 4:56pm

Villa-Spurs off and DCL, CTaylor injured ruined my plans of not using any chips so on a free hit.

Lloris (Peacock-Farrell)
AWB Tierney Dias (Fernandez, Lowton)
KDB(C) Bruno Son Gundogan (Smith Rowe)
Kane Wilson Lacazette

Would like a sub goalie but can't have everything

Lowton to Mitchell
Or
Dias to Stones

gives funds to upgrade sub keeper

Peacock-Farrell is flagged so Norris might be on Burnley bench?

I went for it. YOLO

Fitz* · 12-01-2021 5:14pm

-4

Lowton Stones
Neto Son Sterling Saka
Kane Lacazette

Maybe Taylor if fit.

titan18 · 12-01-2021 5:17pm

Used the free hit as was down to 4 players, one of whom was Mitchell so not too guaranteed to start.

Now on

Lloris
Cancelo Dias Tierney
Bruno KDB (C) Son Saka Smith Rowe
Kane Wilson

Bench Darlow Fernandez Wood Mitchell

siblers · 12-01-2021 5:18pm

Lloris

Saiss Dias Tierney
Saka, Gundogan, KDB, Son, Bruno
Lacca, Kane (c)

Steele, Clarke, Fab Silva Mitchell

shmeee · 12-01-2021 5:27pm

FH Active, transfers made cost 48 so I'd no other option but that was my plan all along and BB next GW all going well as team is loaded (as of now with DGWer's)

Went with the big 4, Bruno, Kane, Son and KDB and worked around that.

Darlow
Tierney, Cancelo, Dier, Saïss
Gündogan, De Bruyne (vc), Fernandes, Son
Lacazette, Kane (c)

Smith Rowe, Yedlin, Davis (fodder)

No playing sub goalie is a risk.

Good luck all!

Klonker · 12-01-2021 5:32pm

Lloris
Cancelo Tierney Maguire
Bruno Son KDB Saka Gundogan
Kane(c) Wilson

Pickford McGoldrick Saiss Clark

Free hit used. Tried to pick a strong bench across different matches incase any matches called off!

Rikand · 12-01-2021 5:33pm

Lloris
Cancelo Tierney AWB
Bruno Son Neto Kdb Saka
Kane(c) Lacazette

SlickRic · 12-01-2021 5:33pm

Had 3 players, so had to FH.

Leno
Basham Dias Dier
Sterling KDB Saka Fernandes Neto
Wood Kane

Sanchez Mitchell Webster Davis

I'm at 1.6m, so i'm no threat to anyone this season. it's hilarious. basically the guy at the top of my league is diabolical, but has just kept his Spurs assets and captained them all season. with Fernandes cos he's a Utd fan.

captained Sterling, because why the fúck not?

good luck all.

Scorpion Sting · 12-01-2021 5:37pm

Free Hit. I had Laca in all week but opted for a differential in Auba instead.

Leno
Stones Dier Cancelo
Saka Auba KDB (c) Fernandes (v) Son
Kane Wilson

Steele - Brewster Mitchell Douglas

extra gravy · 12-01-2021 5:47pm

Actually rolled a transfer. Have a feeling it'll be a damp squib of a week

Dias Cancelo Holding Mitchell
Son KDB (c) Bruno
Wilson Brewster

Not great at all but should be okay as long as Kane doesn't run riot!

If I'd 8 or 9 playing, I'd have done the same.

I love that team!

I was trying my best to squeeze PEA in! Good luck with it

I'm kinda raging i didn't go for Auba and captain him.

Cheers. I've a good feeling about Auba this GW.

Trusting my gut with that one.

Happy4all · 12-01-2021 5:55pm

FH but I'm expecting it to end in tears.

Can just sit back now and cross everything.

Great thread title btw

shmeee · 12-01-2021 5:56pm

Housemate ran up the stairs, he forgot the deadline was 4.30pm. the worst thing was we were chatting about our FH teams all day and he had his set and ready and was holding out until near deadline to confirm, like myself. You'd be fair low!

Hey, he could end up having a valuable FH chip yet as this GW could be a shipwreck, who's to know.

siblers · 12-01-2021 5:58pm

I'm very jealous of ye who didn't use a FH. We're all very dependent on Arsenal, Spurs and City

Iused2likebusts · 12-01-2021 5:58pm

I wildcarded as Id no city and wanted 3 of them for the next few weeks. Plan is to BB next gw but will see what happens.
Areola
Awb Tierney cancelo Dias
Bruno son kdb saka
Wood kane

Martinez coufal soucek Watkins

Also hoping Leeds southampton is cancelled next week. Main problem is I dont have salah but I think liverpool have a tough run of fixtures next 5 or 6 gws and Id be captaining kdb or bruno.

Shanee. · 12-01-2021 6:00pm

Soooo I went with

Leno
Tierney Saiss Stones Dier
Fernandes Son KDB (c) Sterling Saka
Kane

Kilman Brewster & can’t remember who else lol.

Bit of a punt with Sterling but need a differential to gain some ground
