Fantasy Premier League 20/21

Right I've committed to either free hit or wildcard for the next gw.

Salah, Justin, Taylor and Forster out for Rashford, Cresswell, Dias, Martinez. Won't want the the first four either way next week (buying Salah back for the double. I'm not a complete idiot).
 
47:46 behind against my cup opponent after today. I was really lucky for the Bellerin subsitution today before the 60.minute.

DeBruyne, Dias, McCarthy and Barnes left for him.
Cancelo, TAA and Mane left for me.

I feel that will be very close. Hope KDB and Barnes will do nothing. Will be suspect to half-cheer TAA and Mane on Monday
 
I have 10 points lead in cup.
I have Salah and McCarthy who cancel each other. He has Zouma, Wilson and Robertson.

Bloody hell, this cup is nerve breaker. I am not sure do i want to win and go through this every GW. :)
His Saka and Neto fecked me up tonight

I think you should be fine. The biggest fear is probably a Zouma corner goal and 15 point haul. My guess is 1 point for him though and 2 for Wilson.

That Wilson is a bloody Messi this year. In shit team he always gets penalty or some weird goal. And yeah, Zouma.....i hope that City will do the job

What's the difference between Wildcard and Free Hit then?

The Free Hit chip allows managers to make an unlimited amount of transfers in a selected gameweek. It differentiates itself from the Wildcard in that your transfers are only active for one gameweek – once a round of matches is completed your squad reverts to its original form.

Which is what I thought, despite someone treating me like some sort of idiot for suggesting that the Free Hit is exactly what it states above. Therefore, it's perfect for GW 18, is it not?

I'm going to have Mitchell (6 points) and Soucek (11 points) sat on my bench. I missed the deadline and didn't put Mitchell in for Dallas, but I never intended on starting Soucek to be honest. Still a bummer.

Depends on your team. I've got potentially 12 players in GW18 and can save a transfer in the process so it would be a waste for me.
 


Struggling to work out how the Chelsea vs City match is going ahead.

My cup opponent has triple Chelsea and City, along with Captain Vardy today.
 
I am thinking. If you have multiple accounts; you can focus only on cup. Every gw you make 7,8 changes because you don't care about minus points on that other accounts.

feck, i wish that i think about that few months ago

That wouldn't get you very far though would it. As you'd take 20-24 points hit off your weekly score and very likely get knocked out very quickly.

They'll have a squad of 25 declared so can very easily field the requisite 14.
They still have the likes of Aguero, Mahrez and Fernandinho on the bench.

On another note, bloody Justin and Leicester. Cruising to a cleany then in one min he gets booked and they concede.

6 to 1 in a flash.

I thought when you enter the cup you stay there until oppo knock you out.

Its worse than that. He was heading for 3 bonus also
 
That Justin booking and Newcastle goal has cost me in the FPL cup. My opponent now has 75 points with Salah to play. I have 61 with Walcott, KWP and Salah left. In an ideal world Salah doesn't play and Soucek comes in and I'd need 6 points from KWP and Walcott.

If Salah and Walcott play I'll needing 15 points from Walcott and KWP which isn't going to happen against Liverpool.

Yep. Justin was in bonus too before that.
 
KDB still crapping himself when through on goal.
 
My Cup opponent went triple captain Fernandes. Fair fecks to him.
I'll bow out early as per usual.

Looking forward to a bit of a FPL break with the domestic cups. I'm not sure what to do whether to hit wild card or not.
 
As I am so on the fence about free hitting, it may well be down to my opponent in the next round of the FPL cup. I should qualify now unless Mason Mount scores a hat trick.
 
Since I put Mendy in he's gone from cleanies every week to conceding from every single shot on target.
2 today 2-0 down.


They have a double in week 19 but I think it's probably sensible to move him to someone cheaper and then do the Salah to De Bruyne move.
 
I think that confirms to everyone that De Bruyne is essential for this double!

Brought Son and Kane in for him and DCL which will definitely work out as an overall body of work.
But Salah - him seems the best way to get him in.

Yeah I think I’m going to take a hit to swap Salah for KDB for the double. I hope Salah can match him this week, as so far KDB is wiping out the 15 point lead I had over my mini league leader this week.
