Guys chill and set your alarms for Boxing Day morning.
Fantasy Premier League 21/22

Ah I see.
Then again, knowing a transfer isn’t needed that far ahead is Mystic Meg behaviour.
This is the main problem. I think I might risk it as I fancy Son to outscore Salah over the next three weeks without even considering the AFCON. My OR is a lot lower than normal too, so I need to start doing things slightly different, for example captain Cancelo paid off last week.
I’ll keep the money in the bank and might even want to downgrade Ronaldo to fund Salah by that point.
Writing off Salah against Chelsea is a bad idea too. He does the business against anyone. If you take him out and miss goals against Leicester and Chelsea and then the AFCON is postponed?
Transfer him back in for Brentford? What if Liverpool get a cancelled game against Leicester or Chelsea, then he goes to AFCON? You can make that argument either way.
Salah’s main strength recently is consistency. He’s only “hauled” once in the last nine games. I think it’s a bigger risk to go without Son over the next three, but differences in opinion is what makes this game fun
I'm feeling quite happy about free hit and keeping my Liverpool players because at least I can be confident of having them start in the week. Never mind Covid there's going to be crazy rotation anyway in some teams between Sunday and Tuesday. It'll also allow me to take a punt on a City mid with some backup on the bench and see who plays Sunday. If Sterling doesn't I'll keep him in my team for the Brentford game on Wednesday and if he does I'll turn him into Son.
My main issue with the free hit is that's one less week you have to try and set yourself up for the upcoming double. United and Spurs both have good fixtures even before the double so I might as well take a hit and bring them in now anyway. Unless you are planning on free hitting then as well.
I am holding firm with no free hit unless another few games go. I gained about 30-40 points on some people last week with only 9 players. I am learning that I am better at this game if I just fight my instinct 
This is true. I do lose a transfer. Flip side is that Liverpool could have a great double in 22 as well so I'm gaining 2 players (Jota and TAA) that I didn't think I'd have for it.
Like I keep saying though it's team dependant. I need to see those flags gone on Antonio and Tomiyasu before it makes sense for me to even consider a hit or two this week and even then it's likely I have to take the plunge and remove Salah who I really want to captain in GW20 and I still can't get Ronaldo without moving a potential starter in Watkins or Antonio.
I wonder when they will confirm the doubles. That might clear my head a bit.
Burnley v Everton is off now as well. Not that it'll matter to many
Everton playing Newcastle next as well I think so not much knock-on there either if that's at risk.Burnley v Everton is off now as well. Not that it'll matter to many
I’ve a strong squad, yet I’ve down to 8 starters.
1 of which is the doubtful Antonio.
Think I’ll be forced to free hit.

Isn't Antonio out?
I think almost everyone will keep Jota and Trent so it essentially comes down to Salah.
For what its worth - Moyes’ comments on Antonio today didn’t sound too promising and Watkins will almost certainly blank next GW.
Moyes on Antonio "I never said Boxing Day though, I said over Christmas"
That's enough doubt for me. Bowen maybe a tasty OOP option on Free Hit for the Saints game.

Aye, the Gray-train was great to begin with. then the DCL/Richarlison rails got ruined and it lost steam. Got a rest last game, hopefully he's not covid struck.
I am selling Salah for now. His price bound to go down very soon, he only has Leicester and Chelsea before going to AFCON and Son will have two doubles soon so is a natural replacement.
NoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooBurnley v Everton is off now as well. Not that it'll matter to many
How ridiculous would it be to Free hit this GW, Wildcard GW20, bench boost GW 21 and free hit GW 22?
I joke actually but I did have Allan on my bench so that's another 2 points lost.
BROWNHILL that useless feckBurnley v Everton is off now as well. Not that it'll matter to many
You've still got your wildcard? Lucky you. I dunno about the second FH but I like the idea of FH and Wildcard into a BB for 21/22
BROWNHILL that useless feck
Your Brownhill story is slowly becoming legendary.Has he ever pointed for you?
I have Bernardo & de Bruyne. Need to get rid of one for son. Is ronaldo a must again?
Don’t you get the 2nd Wildcard from GW 20?
B Silva if you have to bin one, surly you have players blanking this GW that you would be better getting out?
Not a single point. He did lose 0.1 value though
Has he ever pointed for you?
I thought it was from GW21...
Typical that I am 0.1 short from doing Salah and Antonio out for Son and Ronaldo.
Ronaldo captain surely.
One day Brownhill will wake and you'll all be sorry
Make sure you vice from a definite early kick off on Boxing Day.
Yeah. Cancelo vc.

Imagine planning anything until 30 mins before deadline.
It might be worth using the free hit because the way the fixtures keep getting postponed there is a decent chance FPL might give us all another one.
Norwich playing Arsenal. I just know Dean Smith will do everything he can to get it cancelled.
Yep that one was always going.Burnley v Everton is off now as well. Not that it'll matter to many
Brownhill again missing for me.
That's 3 Liverpool, Dennis, Foster, Brownhill and Raph. Antonio a huge risk too.
Down to 7-8 max with no obvious captain.
I think Chelsea v Villa being off and the rest staying on would force my hand to free hit as I'd be down to 4-5
If that game goes it makes things very difficult.
Firstly in losing another starter in Ramsdale, taking me potentially down to 6 players.
But also in 3 Arsenal players would be essential on a free hit.
Just imagine all those 4 pointers from his doubles
Yeah I will lose Ramsdale and laca so will prob need to few hit.
