A is the common sense move. Do you have any chips left?
If you don't use them, you have two (max) next week?
If you use one, you still have two next week?
Is there likely to be a better week to use FH than this week?
I do have potentially 8 players playing anyway depending on if Son and Bamford are fit

Martinez / Areola
Cresswell / Veltman (Dias) (Cancelo) (Digne)
Son / Raphinha (Bruno) (JWP) (Gundo)
Kane / Watkins (DCL)
1 FT
I'm thinking I have to get in Dallas to cover him in case he hauls (highly owned in my ml's). But then so is Bamford who now appears to be fit.
Also tempted by a punt on Trossard or Lingard. Might even captain the latter. He loves a game against Arsenal.
Start Areola or Martinez?
Any thoughts?

33 there will be no games for City, Spurs, Southampton or Fulham.
Hmm Id probably not have any Soton or Fulham anyway (maybe 1 defender) so mostly its City/Spurs
I might just go with the 8 anyway, if Bamford and Son are definitely ruled out then Id reconsider
Bamford is ok according to the Guardian. Doubt Son will play if only to avoid him travelling abroad for a pointless international.

I still have Bench Boost which I plan to play GW30 and then will WC into GW31.
Option A feels right. But Raphinha I feel will give me a heart attack. I been lucky that Leeds have wasted all his assists recently. That Sheff United game especially will give me a full blown stroke.
That's correct. I'm thinkin of using just the 1 of my FT this week and using 2 for GW30 for Rudiger and Mendy/Azpi
Gotcha. When you said you weren't using either....
Is there any update on Grealish? Is he still out for long?
Had dunk for a while. Lads racking up points
Cancelo going down in price is a joke, I know its based on transfer moves but still
He's fairly expensive, and has managed 1 assist in the last 11 game weeks, and only played 90 in 6.
He's a pick based on the potential for a haul, but he's only managed above 8 points twice.
While he's 4th highest scoring defender, but who is top? Cresswell! Who surely noone would have guessed.
You guys think Auba will play? If so he is a no brainer to bring in for Salah.
Even if he plays 2/3 games he probably going to outscore Salah anyway.

If Grealish and Son are out as expected, this looks to be the pool to pick a free hit from.
Bolded players I'd say are 100% must have.
GK - Martinez, Aerola, Sanchez, Meslier
Def - Dallas, Dunk, Cresswell, Tierney
Mid - Bale, Lingard, Raphina, Auba, Gross/Trossard
Att - Kane, Antonio, Watkins, Bamford, Lacazette, Maupay
Brighton are intriguing as they have the easiest opponent. Looks tough to justify their attackers as they're hardly goal monsters, but one of them could well score well.
Goalie looks a total 4 way tie, based on recent form, ease of opponent, and seasonal form as a whole.
Third striker/4th defender/5th midfielder is a tough call too. Erring on the Watkins side at the moment.

Getting in Dunk and Raphina for -4 which brings me to 9 players(including son, so maybe 8). Should I take another -4 and bring in Auba or Bale?
For Salah then I say yes. For KDB probably yes. For Bruno i say no since I think you want him back for Brighton.
It would have to be in for Son or Mount. Mount has a good fixture next week too so probably not for him. I could actually bring in Bale for Gundo instead of Raphina too.
I have Mount and Salah and consider maybe selling both, but Mount if he plays could be good to keep. Just the rotation risk is annoying.
GW 30 id have Mount, Bruno, Raphina, and Son playing 4-4-2 so my first bench player if he doesn't play would be DCL I think?
I really need to find a way to get Bruno back. If I get Auba then I either sell Auba for Bruno or Mount for Bruno with a hit to free up the cash.
Is it wise to use the free hit now or is there a better opportunity on the horizon?
There should probably be no big blank after this correct me if I am wrong.
If you got 8 players then maybe keep it I would do still.
Cheers! Yeah I have 6 and 2 free transfers. But just thought I may as well leverage the free hit. Unless another big double comes.
I have just seen it suggested that games will be moved due to fans being back. No idea what effect it will have with blank or double gameweeks?
If there is 5 games in round 37 and 15 in round 38 or something like that then having the free hit can be very good. You then build a side for either 37 or 38 and free hit the other week to get 30 fixtures from your players.
Yeah that's what's just uncertain I guess. Might just ride out this week and keep it in my back pocket!
Could be a huge bench boost too. I have wasted all my chips already haha.
Wish I still had bench boost and wildcard.
Ah yeah I used BB and TC and wildcard.
But to be fair my bench gave me something like 40 points so I'm fine with it. I just have a feeling it's going to be a low score week this week so I'm reluctant for a free hit!
.Sounds like Grealish has been spotted training this week. Could well start on Sunday.
2 FTs. 5 players in the team so far. Considering doing a -4 to get to 8 players.
Salah -> Auba?
Salah -> Auba?
I have free hit available. Now is the time to use it, surely? I have 6 players playing but have 2 transfers as well.
Think I've settled on -4 this week and 9 players (inc Son).
Gonna bring in Dallas for either Digne or Cancelo and Lingard or Trossard for Gundogan.

I wouldn't. 8 players should be fine.
You're basically in the same position as me and I have FH left too.
Saving for 33 or another potential big DGW at the end of the season.
Do you reckon it will be worth hanging on to it so? Cheers mate.
I think Lookman is a very good pick this week and won’t be in most Free Hit teams if anyone’s looking for a differential.
Any news about Bamford and Saka?
Bielsa has already said Bamford should be ok. Was just a knock on his hip. Saka, no idea.

I think so but it's entirely up to you.
I saw some stats knocking around the other day that the average number of players people will be putting out this week is 7/8.
My problem with this gw is that the fixtures are not even easy to call. Couldn't confidently predict the result of any of the games.
