Lost two clean sheets on that late Everton goal 
Get out!!!
Saka goal and KDB assist saving me from a terrible week at the death.
How big a hit can you justify when chasing with 5 gameweeks to go…?
2nd in my mini-league and I utterly despise my team and need differentials if I’m gonna win.

Maybe go for the best captain. Havertz maye this week over Mount.
Maybe go for Werner as well.
Salah to KDB/Mane could work, but also destroy you.
Nah there no way I could afford him without dropping one of Son, Kane, Bruno or Ronaldo... FH was a bust.
82 with 2 left. I guess it was a bit much expecting 2 clean sheets from Sanchez this GW. 
So now a bit lost what I should do.
Bruno playing shit, deeper and us being shit as well make me want to sell.
Although we do have a double at least. Both Arsenal and Chelsea are defending poorly at the moment.
If I had Ronaldo I think I would captain him or Havertz if we get info Ronaldo will start. Worried about a Mount rest.
My initial plan was to keep Bruno and get Mount in for Barnes. Not sure it is the best plan right now.
Barnes finally scored and have two more doubles.
Think I need one Chelsea attacker though. I really do not want to sell anyone in my midfield apart from Bruno right now.

Yeah cheers mate, I’ve already got Rudiger and the now useless cnut James so have to pick between Havertz / Werner / Mount.
btw, what’s up with Rudiger?
Groin injury
I have Rudiger and James as well. Such a disaster with James. Benched him this week. Kind of the only good move I have done for a long time.
I was thinking Mount for minutes, but since Havertz was rested and Lukaku played like shit I think he could be your guy.
Now I have enough to do Barnes to Mount, but can't get Havertz without a hit or selling Bruno.
Current team:
Ramsdale
TAA, Cancelo, Rudiger, Matip
Salah, Raphinha, Kulusevski, Barnes, Saka
Kane
Subs: Dubravka, Davies, Weghorst, Broja
Transfer plans:
GW34: Rick roll the transfer
GW35: Weghorst and Raphinha to Pukki and Coutinho
GW36: Dubravka to Foster and BB (Broja the only SGW)
GW37: FH
GW38: YOLO
Thoughts?

fecks sake, it’s literally just one thing after another in my team…
Brought in Mee - injured
Brought in Doherty - injured
Rudiger - injured
Every time I plan out a few moves there’s another shit sandwich to deal with.
Not sure I’ve ever had a more unlucky season in that sense.
No Chelsea attack for gw34? They play the worst defense in the league and west ham
Not captaining Salah is painful when I fully knew he’d go to town on us. I even won some money on it. Decent week with 75 and wankhorse Broja and the pope still to play again.
109 points with JWP still to go . That’s free hit paying off for me
but next week looks tough with doubts over Rudiger and no chelsea attackers in my team. Also , should I be thinking of a sideway move from Martinelli to Saka?

I always pick opposition players we play every week and make them captain.
Its almost cheating.
I was just thinking this...
Could do:
GW34: Raphinha and Weghorst to Mount and Nketiah/Mateta (-4)
GW35: Put out any fires...
GW36: Dubravka to Foster and BB (Broja the only SGW)
GW37: FH
GW38: YOLO
What's happened to Lacashit? Been dropped?
So Pukki captain then?
Next is saka
77pts from the Free Hit. Not great (especially Bruno captain...) but a green arrow to 28k.
Back to my team of:
Dubravka
TAA Schar James Rudiger
Salah Saka Kulu Mount
Broja Kane
Ramsdale Toney Gordon Doherty
Broja or Doherty out this week, or roll? Going to FH in 36/37 (probably the Man City double) if it helps.

So the options I have is.
1 Get Salah back (do not want, but me having him is a good way to stop him scoring goals)
2 Get Havertz/Mount (probably the ideal players to have for this week. Worry about rotation long term though)
3 Keep Bruno and captain him ( I am desperate, but not that stupid I think. I do not want to captain defensive midfielders even if the other Bruno did well)
4 Kane to Werner and captain Werner (Like this move, but I rate Kane fairly highly despite poor returns compared to Son)
5 sell Rudiger if he is injured for Alonso/cheaper
6 combination of these things.

Next is saka
My friend benched Pickford against us and that is the only time he got a return and started Ramsdale.
I guess the same person will start Pickford at Anfield over Ramsdale this time
.Do not do Kane to Werner. Jesus.
Kane will be one of the highest scoring players, if not the highest, for the next 4 weeks.
And bin Bruno for Salah this weekend.
Maybe avoid Cout if you are free hitting in 37?
Think I'm leaning towards using my last FH this GW.
Has Mateta been completely dropped? I can simply do Weggy and Raphinha to mateta and Havertz for -4...
Palace strikers are a minefield. Constant rotation.
yeah I thought as much...
then there's no way for me to get Havertz. I just have to hope he doesn't go too crazy in the next GW. West Ham hopefully can put up a fight and United might get that 10.H.A.G boost (who the feck am I kidding).
Looks like Mount and Havertz will make me shit bricks this upcoming week!
Yeah. It's either a mega hit for me to get in Chelsea and city or free hit. Those guys are both gonna go big.
Problem is:
Chelsea are looking flakey, dont have much to play for in the league as they will get top 4 and their focus will be on FA Cup. Mount is a good option but due a rest and Havertz is decent option too but there are better players in that price range.
City v Watford screams rotation but Cancelo should play...
Bloody two managers that feck up FPL. Can't they just be like Klopp and run their players into the ground!
Rotation is the reason you can do a FH now. The likes of Sterling and Jota are nailed to start vs Watford and Everton at home, chelsea double vs two easy teams, etc. If you can nail the right city and chelsea guys on triple ups and get a few differentials this free hit will pay off more than 36 or 37. I'd rather have fun with city attackers of choice over villa, palace etc.
Free hit now feels like a waste for a template team.
If you already own TAA, Cancelo, Reece James, Saka, Kulusevski, Kane/Son, Salah.
Then you probably would want them on free hit or would be happy to have them.
The main reason to use it is go full on Man United and Chelsea. Thus only Chelsea will be worth it.
De Gea not even making saves. Elanga good enabler on free hit, but might not fully certain start both.
Ronaldo is a doubt and Bruno plays deep and shit.
I think to bring in Havertz/Mount and captain them is probably smarter than using free hit. The main advantage with free hit is getting both.
No good forwards to get apart from Ronaldo or Kane that cost too much either. I guess Werner might be worth it.
Best free hit side would probably be.
Dubravka/De gea
Cancelo TAA Reece James/Alonso
Havertz Mount Salah Son Saka
Pukki Toney?

Considering it as well.
On paper buying Chelsea players with both doubles in mind would make sense but they might be a a rotation trap in 36 and I already have a strong team that week anyway.
Plus Havertz is probably the most secure Chelsea mid this week but if buying for more than this week I'd want Mount. FH removes the need to think longer term and makes Havertz the easy pick.
Will need to think through what I'd do with transfers from 35 on with 37 in mind though. Don't want to be overly weak that week either.
Yep, thats the thing as well. Loading up on Chelsea or City now will also help long term especially city but this is the week for differentials and just being able to get in the lesser owned City and Liverpool attackers along with the Chelsea dgw picks etc can have a huge pay off. City especially will go in to absolutely hammer Watford. They need the GD. You can smell Sterling going big.
That was what I thought on my free hit. Go big on Sterling and Mahrez and it failed big time.
It is risky, but not sure it is worth removing Salah or Son for them. Given how good those are.
Everton is as easy as Watford and Spurs have been in great form.
If I free hit this week I would punt on Ronaldo if mentally ready and hope he performs against Arsenal again.
