    Reorslev or Reguilon on Free hit?

    1. gart888
      • 10 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      I'm debating the same thing.

      I'm leaning towards Roerslev and then switching to Reguilon if I hear something concrete that he's fit. The difference in them doesn't seem big enough to be worth taking any chances.

      1. Vovhund
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Wouldn't we think, that he either starts or don't play at all? If so, it makes sense to just start Reguilon with Roerslev to come on

        1. gart888
          • 10 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Not sure why we'd be sure Reguilon doesn't come on for 25 minutes in the second half.

          Also, not sure I want to "Waste" a Brentford slot on the bench. They're pretty much the only ones with a plum fixture this GW.

    2. Mayor of Flair

      I'd say Reguilon. With a strong bench option. Brentford unlikely to keep a CS so if no attacking threat then no point.

      1. Mayor of Flair
        • 10 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        *And that bench option being non Brentford

      2. gart888
        • 10 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Reguilon has 7 shots and 6 key passes in his 6 starts for Brentford. Roerslev has 3 shots and 4 key passes in his last 6 starts.

        It's not like the difference in their attacking threat is night and day...

        Yes I'd rather start a fit Reguilon, but is it worth the risk if he might not start?

        1. Mayor of Flair
          • 10 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          It's almost twice as many chances of ExGI. A better chance of converting too.

          If Reg doesn't start he likely won't make the squad so would have another more attacking def like Coufal or maybe Cash ready to go.

          1. gart888
            • 10 Years
            8 months, 2 days ago

            Roerslev actually has more xGI than Reguilon over their last 5 matches. (Though that's heavily carried by him scoring a sitter)

    3. Rohirrims
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      I have both, dropped Flekken as think either of them getting a return is likelier than getting a CS.

      1. gart888
        • 10 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        This is actually a pretty good shout. You going Leno? Areola?

        My hesitation is that Burnley have only scored in one of their last 4 games though, so a clean sheet definitely is possible, and so many people will be doubled up on them.

  2. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 months, 2 days ago

    Happy with this. Keeping my four normal players to avoid a burn, i.e. Areola saving another pen. Think I'll leave Watkins in and if he misses out Luiz is fine as a sub on - pens and got two assists last night.

    AREOLA
    Porro Collins DOUGHTY
    SON(c) Maddison Elanga Bowen
    WATKINS Toney Morris

    Leno Luiz Robinson Coufal

  3. Mayor of Flair
    • 10 Years
    8 months, 2 days ago

    Start Morris or Elanga on a FH?

    1. gart888
      • 10 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Morris.

      1. Mayor of Flair
        • 10 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Sound

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Elanga, Luton were gassed after 60m

      1. Mayor of Flair
        • 10 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Thanks

    3. Warby84
      • 9 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      I’m actually tempted by Hudson over Elanga..

      1. Mayor of Flair
        • 10 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        MGW too?

    4. yeahbuddy
      • 13 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Elanga

    5. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 9 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Is Elanga guaranteed to start? Morris Looks more nailed

  4. Hint
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    8 months, 2 days ago

    Elanga, Gibbs White or Johnson for the next few?

    1. patricio33
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      I'm going with Gibbs-White.

    2. The Mandalorian
      • 12 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Elanga but GW close. I'm waiting on team leeks tomorrow.

  5. Vovhund
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    8 months, 2 days ago

    Would you free hit this team or save via hits:

    Areola
    Pau
    Son-Luiz-Bowen
    Watkins

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 8 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Take a hit maybe

    2. Frank Henderson
      • 1 Year
      8 months, 2 days ago

      FH

    3. ButterB
      • 4 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      If you've not been taking hits leading up to this week, then take a -4 for Toney and Maddison etc and you're good in my opinion.

  6. gart888
    • 10 Years
    8 months, 2 days ago

    Potentially a dumb question but:

    Free hit transfers don't count towards your total transfers do they? If they did I'd be tempted to keep Areola and Taylor at the end of my bench.

    1. Merlin the Wraith
      • 8 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Nope

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Unless you are top 5 in the world who cares?

      1. gart888
        • 10 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Scores are super compressed these days. Number of transfers could be the difference between inching into the top10k or not.

        Right now ranks 40134 to 38588 are all on the same number of points and are ordered by number of transfers.

    3. Merlin the Wraith
      • 8 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      If you take a look at the Transfers/Finance section of your squad you'll see your Gameweek transfers as 0

      1. gart888
        • 10 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Cheers thanks.

        1. Merlin the Wraith

          No worries. GL. (No such thing as a dumb question... we've all got something to learn)

  7. Kabayan
    • 8 Years
    8 months, 2 days ago

    AREOLA - Dubravka
    PORRO - DOUGHTY - KABORE - ROBINSON - Gabriel
    SON - BOWEN - Saka - Palmer - Foden
    WATKINS - MUNIZ - Haaland
    (-4). Plan is FH34, WC35, BB37

    Is it enough to hold FH29?

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 8 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Yes

    2. Vovhund
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Absolutely a hold

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Yes and I advocate FH for most teams.

    4. XX SMICER XX
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Good you have 9 players however you are reliant on clean sheets (only 4 mid / forwards)

      1. Kabayan
        • 8 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        I'm quite worried about it but i want to play differently for this season. (About chips)

    5. Mumfie
      • 3 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      I’m pretty similar to this and want to hold the FH.

      The quality of teams this weekend isn’t that inspiring. I’m planning on using my FH on a DGW, so maybe just an average below to average score this week and make it up later in a double which is more fun.

  8. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 8 Years
    8 months, 2 days ago

    Save FT here?

    Areola
    Reguilon Doughty VDV*
    Son Maddison Bowen Barkley
    Watkins Muniz

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 8 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Non playing:

      Kelleher Gabriel Zabranyi Saka Haaland

    2. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
      • 5 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Save or Zabarnyi to Spurs defender

      1. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
        • 5 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Oh it wasnt VVD 😀

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 8 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          VDV 🙂 Thanks!

    3. ButterB
      • 4 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Yep, save. Having 2 for 30 will give you a better idea for players you'd keep

  9. _Gunner
    • 9 Years
    8 months, 2 days ago

    On FH,
    Start Flekken or Areola?

    1. Mayor of Flair
      • 10 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      I'd go either Martinez or the Forest lad

    2. XX SMICER XX
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Flekken

    3. Frank Henderson
      • 1 Year
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Flekken for sure.

  10. We Go Again
    • 10 Years
    8 months, 2 days ago

    Kudus or Bailey?

    1. We Go Again
      • 10 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      For FH

    2. Mayor of Flair
      • 10 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Kudus pretty hot right now

    3. gart888
      • 10 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      I'm thinking both, but need to decide which one (or Morris) is first on bench.

      1. We Go Again
        • 10 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        I could also get both and drop Elanga instead. Morris first on my bench atm

    4. XX SMICER XX
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Bailey edges it for me (both if possible)

    5. The Mandalorian
      • 12 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Can Bailey play 3 games in a week?

  11. XX SMICER XX
    • 6 Years
    8 months, 2 days ago

    Current GW29 team.
    Is it worth taking a hit for another midfielder?

    Areola
    Moreno Doughty
    Son Gibbs-White Bowen
    Watkins Toney Morris

    1. Kabayan
      • 8 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      I don't think so but Depends on your plan after gw29.

  12. Fuddled FC
    • 12 Years
    8 months, 2 days ago

    Who to start?

    a) Morris
    b) Muniz
    c) Wissa
    d) Kudus

    1. gart888
      • 10 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Wait, why are you benching so many attackers?

      1. Fuddled FC
        • 12 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        because I only have 1 slot to fill in my starting 11.

        Curently starting Morris with Kudus first on bench

    2. yeahbuddy
      • 13 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Kudus

  13. Saka White Rice
    • 10 Years
    8 months, 2 days ago

    Most of us not using FH are struggling to put out 9/10 players with the hope that GW34 has higher potential. Could this really backfire though if GW34 ends up being just double Sheffield and Crystal Palace for example?

    1. gart888
      • 10 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      It could, but if you planned ahead to set up to not FH this GW your bed is already made. Even if 34 is a weak DGW you'll still make up 10+ points or so.

      1. Kabayan
        • 8 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Yes but roll the dice.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Yes it can backfire. And I personally think unless you can field 9 good players with a -4 (Son, Maddison, Bowen, Watkins, Toney), the upside from GW34 is lower than covering the blanks this week.

      1. Saka White Rice
        • 10 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        My team with a -4 good enough? Notice I get a good GW30 top don't need Arsenal or City players which is another advantage

        Areola
        Pau Doughty Porro
        Son Maddison Barkley
        Watkins Morris Toney

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Yeah that's good enough imo. 10 players and 6 are attackers.

          I'm looking at the guys that have like 7 players and only Son + Watkins that are considering saving FH and I think that's a mistake.

    3. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      37 is the one I'm saving my FH for, unless we get more doublers in 34.

      1. Saka White Rice
        • 10 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Then when BB?

    4. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      For me, the negative to not FH was having to avoid BOU and that has hurt. To reverse now simply bakes in the negatives of both strategies - i've taken hits to get close to 9-10 players (which have paid off to be fair) but then I still don't have the FH to use later.

      I'm where I am, see the strategy through and if I'm wrong i'm wrong

    5. Graziano
      • 10 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      It all comes down to the results of the GW. Base-case you will just miss 3-4 defender points if you have the right attackers. But of course there is always a chance for unexpected defender goals / cleans, which could backfire.

      It's not only GW 34, there could be good doubles in other GW too. You will have massive flexibility by keeping the FH.

    6. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      @Sakarice

      I've already used BB. Played it by accident in gw1 when I had a bench of non-playing fodder...

      Pesky smartphones!

  14. Henning
    • 10 Years
    8 months, 2 days ago

    Need some advice please

    Have 8 players with Watkins for this gw.
    1 ft bench boost and Free hit left .
    Should i
    1. save fh and play with 8
    2. Use ft and get Maddison in.
    3. Take a hit and get Maddison and an attacker/defender in
    4 Use fh this gw

    Flekken
    Udogie Dought
    Bowen Son D.Luiz
    Watkins Morris

    Player that blanks

    Neto
    Gabriel Saliba Zabarnyi
    Saka Palmer Solanke

      Would've loved being back in Akrotiri watching that one!

  16. Letsgo!
    • 7 Years
    8 months, 2 days ago

    Will u still start watkins on a freehit? Or starr muniz?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Why pick Watkins if you don't think he starts?

      1. Letsgo!
        • 7 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Thats why i am asking right? Actually if he dont start also doenst matter. I can just start muniz . Not like there is any striker better than him for me to choose

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          I interpret the question as you have both players in your FH team and asking which one to start. I don't see why you would bench Watkins

    2. gart888
      • 10 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Watkins. Think he either plays or he doesn't.

  17. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 months, 2 days ago

    Toney vs Wissa vs Muniz my only choice this week.

    Got to be Toney for the certianty right? Not FH so no bench.

    Whoever plays will also play in 30 and that Muniz vs SHU fixture looks nice....

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      I think you need to pick a player for beyond this GW as well. Wissa does not cover that with Maupay and Mbeumo available. Muniz downgrade may allow upgrades in other spots to salah as an example

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Muniz as 8th attacker is fine imo. I don't see Broja getting the starts so Fulham will pay the high loan fee. Mins likely reduced with Jimenez available but likely won't start this GW after recovering from hammy injury

      2. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        I think this is my thought. For 29, Toney is the pick. But bring 30 into it and Muniz looks mighty attractive. Spurs unlikely to keep a cleanie either.

        Toney doesn't prevent moves for Palmer and Salah in 30 (£0.5m spare to afford Bowen to Salah without downgrading someone to Palmer) so it doesn't constraint me too much. Clearly Muniz provides a bit more.

  18. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    8 months, 2 days ago

    For anyone still holding Richarlison, he is likely available tomorrow

    1. Mother Farke
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Cat = amongst pigeons.

      • Merlin the Wraith
        • 8 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Bench possibly? Still fancy Son central up front.

      • Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Good for those not FH who haven't sold yet, but surely not starting so not an option for anyone brining him in on a FH or transfer

        1. gart888
          • 10 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Yeah, really nice to help delay swapping him and Solanke for Salah on a hit. Happy to wait a week on Salah and get Richarlison at home against Luton and Solanke at home against Everton in 30.

        2. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Likely impacts folks looking at Johnson/Kulu as 3rd Spurs pick. It may impact Son (C) as it may not be 90 mins at CF

    2. JabbaWookiee
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Really trying to avoid the Free Hit but think I may be kdding myself. Current team with a -8 would be:

      (No gkp)
      Taylor - Doughty
      Son - Maddison - Bowen
      Watkins - Toney - Morris

      Free Hit or save?

      1. WVA
        • 8 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Save for sure, there is noone else worth having

    3. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Best keeper for free hit?

      1. gart888
        • 10 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Probably Flekken. Think they're the only team with a decent CS chance.

        1. Kay317
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Thinking the same but not confident in them either.

        2. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Decent... 29% CS odds.

          Bookies have all teams with +1 expected goals

          1. gart888
            • 10 Years
            8 months, 2 days ago

            Burnley have scored in one of their last 4 league matches.

            If you had to bet on one team keeping a clean sheet this GW who would it be?

            1. Tonyawesome69
              • 5 Years
              8 months, 2 days ago

              Burnley scored 2 in the last game against WHU...

                Read that incorrectly.

                Depends how many games you go back. They scored in 5 games of their last 8

              Flekken is definitely the best option, but he takes up a spot that could be given to Wissa. I guess the question is who scores more, him or Wissa?

              It’s hard to see any CS this a GW, but Brentford, on paper anyway, look to have the best chance of one.

              Except that defensively they are awful and this is a game Burnley has to try and win.

      There is no point using the FH with this team is there?

      Areola
      Udogie Doughty Taylor
      Son Bowen
      Watkins Toney Morris

        FH Not

      After thinking I’d FH all week, now siding against it.

      CS look unlikely so defenders look unlikely to give any decent returns. Plus, with only 4 matches being played, it will be a case of me picking players who are all playing each other.

      Watkins potential injury means so many people now in the same boat as he and Son are the main standout performers this week.

      Looks like just the one transfer for me and a 1-2-2-2 formation, hoping Watkins plays.

        In a similar boat. I'm going for a 0-2-2-3 and will be hoping the likes of Bowen, Douglas and Bailey blank. Good luck!

      2. WVA
        • 8 Years

        1-3-2-3 here but for -4

          I just don’t see the value in taking a hit.

          It’s the kind of gameweek that suggests the hit will negate any score you get from the player you’ve taken a hit for.

          1. WVA
            • 8 Years
            8 months, 2 days ago

            Son,Toney, Bowen are probably worth a hit?

    6. WVA
      • 8 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Anyone hitting the WC button after deadline? Who are the main men needed?

      Pickford Areola
      Gabriel Udogie Botman Gusto Bradley
      Salah Son Saka Palmer Garnacho
      Haaland Watkins Nunez

      1. Sir Matt Bugsby
        • 5 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Is Areola of any use post-29? Don't think so.. I'm also considering Isak and/or Gordon.

      2. Graziano
        • 10 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        I will for sure

        If your team value allows for such a team, this is perfect. Garnacho vs other mid etc is more a matter of preference. And see if you want to get some doublers from the likes of Palace ahead

        1. WVA
          • 8 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Oh yes who is doubling in 34?

          1. Graziano
            • 10 Years
            8 months, 2 days ago

            We will know after the cup games are played this weekend. And its not necessarily only GW 34. Could be 35, 36 or even 33 (that is less likely though)

              Ah thanks mate

    7. Michelle Davin
      • 7 Years

      Should I play my FH?

      i only have watkins starting,and he is flagged.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Well, if you don’t FH you have no players, right?

        1. Michelle Davin
          • 7 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          What if Watkins makes up for that..

          1. Graziano
            • 10 Years
            8 months, 2 days ago

            Everyone has Watkins + 10 other players

        Seriously got to be a wind-up

    8. Ale Seizer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Toney or Bowen for a -4? Or not worth the stress?

      1. WVA
        • 8 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Both?

    9. Stranger Mings

      Bench order correct 1, morris (comes in if watkins out) 2, toffolo (for potential assust) 3, neto Williams? Thanks

      There are some rumors between Brentford fans that Mbeumo could start. Nice differential potentially.

      Regret not taking more risks on FH. Especially with my rank. But then I've taken risks all season, hence my rank. Can't win

        Taking risks is bad FPL approach. You want players with the highest probability of getting points. Sometimes this stuff just happens

      This gw shows that nothing means anything and things just happen whether you like it or not. Got to admire content creators for making us think otherwise
