Fantasy Football 2017/18

Spurs don't play again in the league until the 31st March it's worth adding. Anyone sensible will at least wait for a prognosis from the club.
 
What a shite week. I don't even have any City players in my team (yeah I know, idiotic) to get my hopes up for the game tonight.

Everything rests on Shaqiri's square shoulders. A 3-0 win for Stoke with him getting a hattrick would be nice.
 
I'm wondering if Kane is worth it anyway. 13 mill and has returned feck all in the last seven game weeks. Sure he might score 13 then the next 3 are 2-2-4. It is worth it? I'm miles behind in my ML, and he has been in my team since October (hasnt done me good, yes i captained him in one of the hattrick weeks). I now need differentials

I could have Aubamayang (who is starting to catch fire) and Mahrez (who has scored almost more points, and has been on strike) instead of him and my 5th mid (Emre Can)

Kane + Can
Lukaku + Son
Aubamayang + Mahrez

Lukaku, Mahrez, Son and Auba will rise this week imo

Whats the best combo til the end of the season?
 
Wondering whether to put Rooney in for Kane for the next gw, then out for Lukaku or Aub after that. I'm already taking points hits for gw31 and planning to for gw32 as well (no good chips left).
 
Lukaku + Son
Aubamayang + Mahrez

I'm taking all 4 of them on my wildcard.

Mahrez is the man at Leicester who have 2 double gameweeks left and nothing else to play for bar the FA Cup. Excellent fixtures too.
Aubameyang can't play in the EL so is a great bet for starting both of their dgw's and they also have great fixtures.
Kak is in form and we have West Ham, West Brom, Bournemouth and Brighton in our dgw fixtures.
Son will probably take Kane's place up front (depending on how long he's out) and is having the season of his life.

Yeah it definitely does not. The free hit wipes out anything saved prior in the same gameweek. If you follow that approach then you will lose your 2 transfers for the gameweek after also.

I agree, and for this reason:

I'll be using my free hit, but by the sounds of things there's no way I can avoid the Kane value drop due to using it.

Cheers fellas, again I really appreciate the replies.

Yeah, I've got Kane, and Aguero, and 2 free transfers...

But I wanna play my 'free hit'...

Grrrr!
 
Annoyed by those injuries as I have both in my team and no free transfers

Do you have your 'free hit' still?

I think what I'm gonna do is play 'free hit', keep Kane and Aguero and hope that at least one of them is looking to be fit for next match and transfer out the other one as soon as GW31 starts.

Hopefully they don't drop more than .2 each in that time.

The good thing is that any replacement to either is obviously gonna be cheaper - probably by at least 1.5 million.

Was saving the FH chip for DGW.
 
I have my free hit still. Will use that for Chelsea, United players during the dgw. Only way to stand a chance of gaining some ground. Im 100 points behind in my ML, but everyone else has used free hit and WC.

Teams are falling apart now. Time is running out. Time to take chances.
 
I'm going to TC on one DGW and Free Hit on the other.
Ah, fair enough. I didn't even realise there were 2. I'll only have 3 Liverpool players playing this game week if I don't use the free hit, so I suspect it'll still yield me more points than using it for a DGW.

There's going to be another BGW.
 
Feel quite happy to get away with 48 points after that horrendous gameweek with some of the other scores around me.

In other news, Walcott has dropped again. Useless idiot.
 
I took an 8 point hit to remove 2 United players as we generally lose when I have our players on my team. I deserve some credit for the Liverpool win.

We can only hope he gets returns in the bgw and doesn't drop any further. Not holding my breath.
 
Does anyone know is GW32 will be a double one, and if so, what will the extra fixtures be like? Cheers!

He's gone the second that GW31 is over. Just annoyed to take a £0.2m loss on him. Need all my pennies for the upcoming wildcard especially with the likes of Son, Mahrez, Kak and Aubameyang on the rise.

It is a bit silly that he's dropped again of all the weeks. Apparently he came off with cramp so should be ok for the Stoke game. I mean, I know he's crap but surely you'd want all the GW31 players in your team that you can get. Can only assume people are not paying attention.

I'll probably take a minus 4 this week and field

Pickford
Schindler Robertson
Salah Walcott Stanislas Shaquiri
Firmino King

saving the free hit for a better opportunity in the coming weeks. Be lucky to get 30 points from that lot.

Yeah team value is constantly on my mind with the wildcard coming next gw. It's an exciting time though - likely to be huge swings in points once people start using their chips and the dgws arrive. Can't wait :D

Yeah, with a free hit my team will look pretty similar to yours:
Begovic; Schindler, Van Dijk, Adam Smith; Salah, Walcott, Shaqiri; Firmino, Wilson.

Not expecting much, but I can't see a free hit team getting loads more. It's the Liverpool players who are essential - the rest are pretty hit-and-miss.
 
Yeah I would really prefer Mane over Robertson to have the Liverpool power 3 but I'm not gonna take 2 more hits to do it (or use my free hit).

A hit is only -2 if they play 60 mins. Is it not worth the gamble that they may have a high scoring game? I suppose it's a -6 all in if you plan on taking them out straight away without a chip though.
 
Kane apparently out 'until next month', has damaged ankle ligaments. Very vague. He already dropped in price last night...

That's enough for me. Taking him out before he drops again and I lose any more wildcard funds. Mounie and Stanislas in for Kane and Albrighton. Fielding 9 (if Walcott is fit) at the weekend.
 
Who is using free hit for this one? Anymore of these GW coming up?

Yes there should be another on FA Cup Semi Final weekend. Potential games affected would be

Brighton vs Spurs
Bournemouth vs United
Leicester vs Southampton
Chelsea vs Huddersfield
Man City vs Swansea

4 of those games could be off in total.
