Might aswell start it early.
James -> Robertson
Rubber stamped.
Double Liverpool defence is back baby!!
DGW FH team is what now...
3x Spurs (playing sh*t, minus Son)
3x Man Utd (playing sh*t, minus Ron)
3x Chelsea (Poor fixture V City)
2x Watford (Might not double)
And a bench with some Brighton players etc.
I think I'll go ESR to Olise. I've liked the look of him for a while and think he could be better value than Gallagher. With Arsenal game in doubt I might take Son out for a hit to make sure I have 11 in case White doesn't play. Brighton or Chelsea midfielder likely.
When you write it out, it is not too appealing. And Ron now a risk also!
Well unless you get that clueless ref from the AFCON you will get in bother for starting with 12 men!😉
Wouldn't be surprised if spurs don't have a double either is Leicester call off the mid week match.
Getting really sick of matches being called off at this stage. I've climbed the ranks a lot but a lot of the enjoyment is gone from it
Took a -4 hit bringing in Moura and Lowton for Son and Chalobah. Because of course I did. Burnley's midweek game better go ahead now, otherwise it's a wasted gamble.
It's Burnley that called off the match not Leicester.
Brighton without Bissouma and Mwepu. Careful with picking their defenders without their better defensively able mids.
Thinking of punting on Mac Allister for them. 3 games in a row and played well in them and I've been following his slower than expected progress years so now my chance to back him for 1 or 2 games until he becomes Salah again I guess.
Or maybe be more sensible and get Moura or Mount as short termers instead.
Another here in the Son to Maddison boat from last night, thought Id get away with it. Have Kane and Royal too and it looks like Arsenal are likely to not play that as they are down to 12 players. I still dont want to free hit so might just suck up a bad week, lots of others probably in the same situation.
Watford v Burnley has to be a doubt now too. Nightmare planning anything
That makes me slightly less angry so, I brought in maddison when I heard Rodgers saying they had players back yesterday
No idea what to do now
Team is in disarray, but not worth wasting fh for this week, but the team still needs work.
And I won't benefit from a wild card for another few weeks or so
My current team isn't in bad shape but still not convincing, a FH team would look better obviously but so much doubt.
Too much uncertainty but thing to remember is that everyone is in the same boat.
It's a serious minefield and a good score will most likely be down to simple luck, could just be a low scoring DGW regardless.
Thinking of using free hit and starting with 3 each from Utd, Chelsea and Spurs.
Is the double game week worth it?
Using my Free Hit, as I used my FT on Salah to Son and we all know how that worked out, also without 3 others...
So currently looking at
De Gea (Sanchez)
Emerson Royal Alonso TAA (Cancelo)(Coufal)
Maddison Bowan Lucas Moura Fernandes Trossard
Dennis Kane ( Rodriquez)
Concerned about Fernandes and his poor form
There'll be no DGW for Spurs if Arsenal can't field a team. It's going ahead at the moment but in the next 2 days while they're not going to get any players back in that time they do have the risk of more Covid positives.
Thinking Son to Mount (C) and maybe Watkins to Dennis. Will hold off until the last minute. Won't be doing a FH anyway.
So that team didn't last long with the quickly evolving Covid situation!🙄
So here goes again!
De Gea
TAA Royal Alonso
Mount Bruno Moura Jota
Kane(C) Maupay(v) Dennis an
Bench- Sanchez Varane Cucurella Gordon
If it looks this evening like Spurs game v Leicester might be off I will bring in Big Rom for Kane
and Bowen for Moura and Keane from Everton for Royal as they play a toothless Norwich side.
Would keep Dennis v Newcastle, even though its likely their game v Burnley might go.
Think I would captain Maupay as a punt.
What are others on Free Hit doing as regards Spurs assets?
Chancing it to keep them or moving out?
Best of luck to all the FH folks anyway😉
Spurs v Arsenal in danger too
That's what I've been thinking re Spurs. It's not impossible that a DGW player from Spurs might end up with 0 games.
Im now on FH:
DDG (Bachmann)
Cucurella Alonso Trent (Cathcart Tsimikas)
Bruno Pulisic Trossard MacAllister (Dewsbury Hall)
Lukaku Ronnie (c) Dennis
Thinking I'll just move on James and Livramento now that Maddison will only have 1 game. Looking at Cucarella and Regulion currently but with Spurs game in doubt its hard to commit. If ever a GW didnt need a Friday night game!
Am I right in saying it's likely only Brighton, Chelsea, Man Utd and Brentford will end up with a double game week?
Watford? Second game is Burnley though.
Even the midfield mastero McTominay is out for the first dgw so can't bring him in for Son. Fml.
Thinking of bringing in mount and giving him the armband?
thoughts
Could be chaos.
My head is wrecked, I still have Salah and Son and no premium forward. 2 x FH and 2 FT this week
So to summarize:
Ronaldo is out (?)
Kane likely to have only one game
Lukaku will have DGW but 2 blanks around the corner
Leicester likely to have one game
Arsenal possibly no game...
I'm about 60% leaning towards making 2 or 3 transfers and saving the Free Hits for a future catastrophe
All my plans for this week out the window. My Captain choice all over the place. Any chance of someone with the skills can stick up a quick captains poll. Currently between Dennis and Bowen for me.
I'm hoping one of the Spurs games happens which is making me think strongly about Bench Boosting -
Team is currently -
Sánchez
Keane Cancelo Reguilón
Jota Bowen De Bruyne Gray Maddison
Calvert-Lewin Dennis
Bench is - Fernandez, Antonio, Laporte, Coufal
I've played the chip on worse weeks. Imagine - I could get 4 goalkeeper clean sheets 😂
