Look forward to the inevitable 37 point free hit where all the beasts who have smashed us all season suddenly fail to produce.
Would be a blow to us who are not using their free hit in this GW.Watkins looked like he was seriously injured, stays on and scores, and now looks like going off. Pretty much everyone owns him at this stage so not too much of a blow
I have the exact same team for 29 apart from Bailey instead of Barkley. Same approach with transfers, only “risk” imo is not having Nunez at home against Brighton in 30.70 for me and a decent green.
Still undecided between Muniz and Toney out for Solanke to get my 11 for 29. Toney is the safe pick obviously but Muniz has great fixtures immediately after as well and also is at the perfect price to ride the bench until I can swap him for a GW37 doubler. Need to make that decision before Solanke drops in price this week as it'll cost me £0.1m. Bus team currently...
Areola
Doughty Reguillon Udogie
Barkley Maddison Son Bowen
Watkins Morris ????
Neto Saka Gabriel Zabba
Plan is Salah and Palmer back in 30 and Haaland and Darwin/Havertz in 31.
I think if I can then target the likes of Petrovic, Branthwaite, Gusto and Cunha for Areola, Doughty, Reguillon, Muniz I'll be in good shape for a BB in 37.
Yeah I'm not massively worried about that as Salah is the outstanding captain for that week. Just can't go without Palmer against Burnley who is probably the next best option.I have the exact same team for 29 apart from Bailey instead of Barkley.

Looks good.Dare say anyone on a FH is similar, but just for appearances like...
Flekken (Areola)
Porro Cash Doughty (Collins, Robinson)
Son Maddo Bowen Luiz (Elanga)
Watkins Toney Muniz
Any differences? Maybe throw a Bailey or Diaby onto the bench instead of Elanga to cover any Watkins risk?
What would your team be on a FH? How many extra points do you hope to get from it?Pondering whether I should take the risk and not play the free hit. I have 7 players with 1 free transfer? Go into the GW with 8 and save the FH?
Current team:
Areola
Udogie, Tosin, Doughty
Bowen, Son (c)
Watkins
Subs: Martinez
I still have my WC and BB left, so a part of me feels, I'm better off just using it now. Any tips?
I'm not even sure but it wouldn't be radically different as the only players I'd definitely bin would be the keepers, Tosin and possibly Porro to Udogie.What would your team be on a FH? How many extra points do you hope to get from it?
If that was my team I'd probably just take a -4 and get in Toney & Maddison/Elanga and keep the chips. You've got the most obvious captain option already.
92 and absolutely zero humble-ness at all on the basis it’s the exception to my fecking awful season, so I’ll enjoy it.70 for me and a decent green.

Yeah these blank game weeks are often 28 point average. Fully expect Son to blank but no idea who the unearthed gem might be. Suspect it will be a Forest attacker though.92 and absolutely zero humble-ness at all on the basis it’s the exception to my fecking awful season, so I’ll enjoy it.
… before my score of 13 next week
Muniz has a home game too doesn't he?I've got a very similar team.
Flekken (Leno)
Porro Collins Doughty (Cash, Robinson)
Son Madison Bowen Elanga (Kudus)
Watkins Morris Toney
I'm still thinking about getting Muniz in for Morris. Morris edges it for now as he has a home game.
I haven't put my FH together yet, but went through the fixtures at the bookmakers and their clean sheet odds the other day. Brentford are most likely to keep one of all the teams playing according to them. I suppose others might have come to the same conclusion using stats or just intuitively.Why is everyone so keen on Flekken. I can see Burnley are not great at home and struggle to score even but it's not like Brentford are a defensive powerhouse.
I was personally looking at Martinez and AReola, with Doughty, Reguilon and Porro/Udogie in defence.
You are right, Muniz against Spurs. I reckon NFO vs LUT is going to have a few goals in it, so Morris might get more chances to score from. Last 4 home games -> Morris returned 8, 8, 5, 5 vs 11, 8, 13, 1 points for Muniz. Its annoyingly difficult to choose between the two of these.Muniz has a home game too doesn't he?
Or did you mean a lesser opponent than Muniz has?
Depends on which sixI have 6 playing. Is it worth the free hit?
Yeah that and Luiz vs Bailey are the decisions I'm mulling. Someone above said Luiz is more likely to have a defensive role, so maybe I'll pull the trigger on getting Bailey in.You are right, Muniz against Spurs. I reckon NFO vs LUT is going to have a few goals in it, so Morris might get more chances to score from. Last 4 home games -> Morris returned 8, 8, 5, 5 vs 11, 8, 13, 1 points for Muniz. Its annoyingly difficult to choose between the two of these.
What other game weeks do we anticipate the FH would come in handy in?I have 6 playing. Is it worth the free hit?
BB looks like the best option imo.
Watkins to Toney/Morris or play FH?
FH as many times as possible.
Watkins to Toney/Morris or play FH?
True. Although Morris did just have a double....You are right, Muniz against Spurs. I reckon NFO vs LUT is going to have a few goals in it, so Morris might get more chances to score from. Last 4 home games -> Morris returned 8, 8, 5, 5 vs 11, 8, 13, 1 points for Muniz. Its annoyingly difficult to choose between the two of these.
Probably just write Watkins off and transfer him to someone definitely playing in week 30.
Watkins to Toney/Morris or play FH?
Got a bye apparently, due to my GW28 score.Anyone got someone they know (from this thread) in the Redcafe Cup?
