Keep an eye on Anfield Express account on twitter. I reckon they're more likely to start and come off early. Salah wants the goals record and if the both of them don't play that's what 10 days without a game before the CL semi final? Not exactly good for match rhythm is it.

Thanks mate. I took them off for Pogba and Lukaku. Turned out to be a terrible decision. Thinking of bringing them back this week.
90 points with 7 players playing tonight. Will break the 100 mark for sure, and will overtake a lot of people in the mini leagues i'm in (a lot of people had already used their TC, wildcard, bench boost etc before this round). Good times!
My team for GW35, using free hit. Still uncertain about Salah, but he's definitely aiming for the goals record, and will most likely play at least 60 minutes. Still trying to figure out who to play in defense.

It'd be around a week's pause, so it's not unthinkable, but I'm on your side: The key players probably will get 60 or 30 minutes in each game.
21. april: WBA (a)
24. april: Roma (h)
28. april: Stoke (h)
2. may: Roma (a)
... I for sure wont captain Salah in those two games, looks unsure about his minutes.
Any tips/help with my freehit team for GW 35.
I am hoping that some of big players at Arsenal play against West Ham, and not rested for Europa League. Ozil for instance hasn't played prem games for 2 weeks.
Ederson
VVD
Monreal
Mariappa
Salah
Walcott
B. Silva
Ozil
Aubayeng
Jesus
Firmino
Elliot Carroll Haidera Kenny

Current team for GW35, now that Aguero is out for some weeks and Jesus safe to start:
Pope
Arnold - Baines - Coleman - Walker
Zaha - Sterling (C) - Salah - Mané
Auba (VC) - Jesus
Bench: Tosun, Lowton, Kennedy
Really unsure about Mané and Salah though.. Considering taking in Van Dijk instead of one of them, as this looks like a game without possession and chances for WBA.

I think there's a really clear pattern that Wenger is not wasting the key-players in Premier League though. It's their only way into Champions League.
Would definitely change players to something else. Atletico is 3-4 days later.
Oh well, just as I say he will rest players Wenger comes up with this (puts doubts on Auba):
Wenger: "This weekend is preparation for Thursday. I rested most players after the Moscow game and they will need a game”.
Maybe Monreal and Özil isn't a bad idea then

Very true, but they will definitely not want to get hammered by West Ham. They have a chance to beat West Ham and send them down.
I could take them out and bring in Zaha, Tosun, Baines?
He also mentioned something about not being sure if he'll play Auba too because of that so Lacazette might be the one to plump for up front.
Free Hit for GW35 ready I think:
After Wenger's press conference I think Ozil & Laca should be pretty safe bets, was torn between Mustafi & Bellerin but I think Mustafi is a little bit safer.
*Going to swap out Long for Klavan actually, injuries to Liverpool's CBs and Roma midweek will make him a good backup in case VVD doesn't play

I've been burnt by Ozil so many times but he might be a great shout actually. Not sure I trust any Arsenal defender though.
I wouldn't be happy leaving Arnie on the bench either at that price. Is that because you think one of your 11 might not start?

Alonso suspended as we knew and now Willian benched 
Hazard also benched but I don't have him.
Morgan dropped also. Ffs

Same for me with Willian and Simpson. Got to just laugh now.Barnes, Lowton, Cedric, Vardy and Mahrez playing tonight. Let's see if I can limp to 80 points at least.
Free hit team for next week at moment (quite like this so it will inevitably be shit)
Hennessy
Baines / Bellerin / Van Djik
Salah / De Bruyne / Sterling / Zaha / Ozil
Jesus / Firmino
subs: Dubravka / Perez / Long / Dummett

Alonso, Morgan, Willian, Alli, Lukaku all non starters for me in the second round of games on my Free Hit. That's hard to come back from, gutted.
This double game week is an absolute farce
Willian, Hazard, Christensen, Morgan all benched tonight

Free hit on the double game week was a big mistake. Most of the big players from the good teams were always going to rest players because of the FA Cup
Long OG
I didn't fancy any other defenders except the City, Liverpool & Burnley ones I had Arsenal just seemed the next best, but maybe I could double up on Liverpool or Burnley defenders.
Yeah spot on, I wasn't sure on Salah definitely playing so Arnie was just a backup option. I don't want to risk missing out on Salah playing though.
All the good work yesterday from Smalling and Lukaku has been undone by my captain Hazard not starting today.
Unreal. I was left with 2 starters tonight and one of them scores an og. Mini league hopes hanging by a thread.
Free Hit Gw got off to a flyer, 2 assists and 2 goals( Long and Wood), since then sh*t has got weird.
All my guys have started today (Tarkoski, Lennon and Vardy) but nothing to show for it. Really need Vardy to do something for me.
None of my strikers playing this weekend, so need to make a transfer - who do people reckon?

Alonso suspended, Morgan benched, Long own goal. My fourth player is Mahrez.
What a shit end to a decent gw, currently on 84p.

Get in Barnes
Long own goal, Willian and Austin on the bench. You can't make this up
Yeah man. That was handy
93 points but overall disappointed.
Leicester clean sheet while Morgan sits on the bench of course, meanwhile others in my minileague have Chilwell, Willian rested and Vardy/Mahrez done nothing v a poor Southampton team.

I'm gutted about Morgan missing out as the common wisdom was that he was nailed for both and Chilwell was the one at risk. Scored 1 poxy point tonight from 5 players,(Long, Morgan, Alonso, Willian, Wood). I also had Alli and Lukaku benched in the previous 2 nights, last few nights have been a nightmare. 82 points on my free hit after having 2 goals and 2 assists at 3:15 last Saturday.
Looks like I'll finish the dgw with 101.
Could have been much better. Tonight was a shit show apart from Barnes! With hindsight I should have maybe kept a Liverpool player and not put so much faith in fecking spurs and leicester.

119 (-4) all out, really happy.
Still never broke 100.
Weak showing from Lukaku and a double blank for Mahrez didn't help.
Even with my 21 points on the bench it would've only taken me to 99

Free hit team for the weekend is like this so far:
Ederson
Long - Robertson - Lascelles
Mané - Salah - Sterling - Zaha
Abuameyang - Jesus (C) - Lacazette
Jesus captain until I see Salah confirmed to play the match at least. The two Arsenal strikers is honestly just me hedging. I expect heavy rotation from them because of Atlético midweek so Lacazette might be rested. Probably better to get someone else instead, perhaps another 5th midfielder but honestly there aren't any other midfielders or strikers that strike my fancy this GW.

Don't see the point in Lacazette. Auba cant play in the Europa so he will definitely play in the league.
Point is if they both play. The next best option that I see is to play 3-5-2 with Guðmundsson or Arnautovic as the 5th mid. I don't think either of those options are necessarily better.
Maybe Vardy?
He doesn't play.
Ahh I see.
