Wonder if Martial counts as "fit" if injury free but doesn't run?All Christmas games are going ahead, aslong as teams have 13 fit players and a goalkeeper.

Cheers. Anyone out there knows the rules of how long before a team's player will be given the green light to play?All Christmas games are going ahead, aslong as teams have 13 fit players and a goalkeeper.
Could be a good makeweight for Son, with Spurs having a few decent fixtures to slot in somewhere.Tempted to get rid of Foden as I reckon he will be heavily rotated now with Pep unhappy with his attitude.
I think Son and another starter (Watkins) makes much more sense unless you’re going to be captaining Ronaldo. Major chances of Ronaldo being rotated in random matches. Son not so much. Spurs have a few doubles coming up too supposedly.I'm stuck.

what do you reckon?
Essentially its about Ronaldo. But i feel Son + Watkins is better than him and brownhill
I don't need to take hits. But damn, do we need Ronaldo? Son feels just as important
No way Ronaldo plays all 4 games. Ralf will be sure to rest him for at least 1 game and then tell the media they're shitshirring when they say he's 'dropped' (I hope).So 21 and 22 can both have doubles for Man United. Do we expect Ronaldo to play all 4 games? Then I am removing Salah for him who leaves anyway and maybe wildcarding plus bench boost in 22 so I can load up on Spurs and us.
I think you get wildcard soon right?
Hard part is I should sell all City and Liverpool players, but probably keeping TAA and Cancelo since I have so much value in them.
Very true. Actually a massive gamble when you look at it like that.The big problem is that if any fresh cases rule a Boxing Day game off, with the mad turn around of 3 games in 6 days, surely all 3 games will have to be off?
The last set of games called off will be very tight up to Boxing Day as it is, but any fresh cases will mess that right up.
FFS. What an absolute waster he's been since about gw4. Thought I was being smart and getting him in early for this run hoping his form would return. Guess that opens up Ronaldo again...there's just nobody I want up front.Antonio covid rumours
I managed to get him without either of that useless pair, but I’m sure there’s a sacrifice somewhere. Jumping off Ronaldo onto Son at the right time looks like a good move for those of us that kept him.I'm going without ronaldo. Having squad depth at a time of covid and games also coming in thick and fast plus frauds like Pep means the bench will be essential until march/April time.
Ronaldo isn't Salah and won't get Salah level of points so not worth having the likes of Brownhill and Duffy in the team just to fit him in.
Chelsea game is potentially the last game for Salah (GW21). Supposed to be realeased by the club the day after.When is the players going for african cup of nations?
Need to know when to sell Salah. Probably doing Salah to Son and then maybe try to bring in Ronaldo.
Yep same here.I'm going without ronaldo. Having squad depth at a time of covid and games also coming in thick and fast plus frauds like Pep means the bench will be essential until march/April time.

I think he will be highly captained in 21/22. Him, Son and Kane will all be up there just because of the doubles. Probably will remain that way as well until Salah comes back from the Afcon.Yep same here.
That Watkins transfer just means I've got my money too evenly distributed around now.
It'd either take TAA to Tsimikas then do Watkins/Antonio to Ronaldo in 2, or otherwise would take 3 moves, or a wildcard.
Ronaldo needs to be double digiting and probably as captain for the money to be worth it.
Don't remove TAA. Man is essential. Far more important than Ronaldo.Yep same here.

I am going to wildcard 21 I think and then bench boost 22 possibly if Covid is under control. Then use the free hits on fututure doubles or blanks.That is... wow. Quite a big deal!
But jammily for Liverpool, he only misses two league games (and easy ones at that)Chelsea game is potentially the last game for Salah (GW21). Supposed to be realeased by the club the day after.
Nice to see that my email to the FPL ‘powers that be‘ has worked.Tweet

Leeds have been very leaky this season, so a good punt.Does anyone think it's too big a risk to Triple Captain Salah vs Leeds for the Boxing Day fixture?
Our work leader had already banged his free hit, so yes, it sort of gets him out of jail for that difficult week when he'll have a struggle to get a team out for FA cup quarter final week.Regarding the second free hit, I think changing the rules like this part way through the season somewhat undermines the game. In this case, at least the resources remain the same for everyone, and everyone’s planning right now is so far out of the window that this the best time to announce it. Personally I’m really not a fan though. It’s less rewarding doing longer term strategy, when someone might just decide to change the game.
More importantly, the bigger negative is that this undermines FPL forever more because there’s now a precedent for them changing the resources part way through the season. If we get a period of COVID disruption or a really harsh winter due to global warming, everyone will start second guessing whether they can be more aggressive with chips as more will be offered to players.
Weirdly I think this favours people defending a lead, although it is bound to excite those chasing.
