Re: FH DGW25
Using a chip in BGW31 was never in my plans because I think there’s enough time to prepare for that particular GW.

Re: FH DGW25
aha I see. Aim to have no more than 3 from Spurs, MC and MU in GW31 and then bench them, having perhaps had 5 the week before and used 2FT to reduce exposure?

Re: FH DGW25
Spurs have che, ARS, sou the weeks before their possible GW31 blank so I’m already reluctant to bring in any of their players.raoul wrote:aha I see. Aim to have no more than 3 from Spurs, MC and MU in GW31 and then bench them, having perhaps had 5 the week before and used 2FT to reduce exposure?
United have ars the week before so could get rid in GW30 or earlier as well.

Re: FH DGW25
I’m with raoul on this.
I see that some of you have multiple flags and that’s a different scenario.
For the rest, the way I look at it is that the potential for the FH around GW31/32 is no worse than a free hit this week; and it could be significantly better depending on as yet to be played fixtures. With an inconsistent/out of form Everton and rotation risk City the main targets this week, a later FH is unlikely to be worse than one this week (or if it is, someone help me out). And with blanks and doubles in short order then the FH will make some of it easier to navigate. For a combination of these reasons I’m delaying for the potential upside later

But I have tried to look at this without those 2 factors because this season for me is a learning exercise. And I am trying to learn the importance of having both WC and FH available for the FA Cup weekends in the GW 30 and beyond zone. Even this season with so many Prem teams gone, the first BGW (31 this year) looks like it will be tough to navigate. It isn't the number of teams gone, it is how many of the desirable teams are gone, combined with the fixture list in the BGW.
My bigger challenge now is probably deciding whether to load up for GW31, then FH in GW32 ... or vice versa. Because I presume I need to start that forward plan pretty much immediately if I want to have any hope of achieving it with FT alone.

Re: FH DGW25
Needed? I'm not sure if it's worth using it though to getting in players for these matches provided you have some Liverpool coverage already:
Bournemouth - Newcastle
Brighton - Cardiff
Burnley - Leicester
Watford - Southampton
West Ham - Huddersfield
Wolves - Arsenal
Fulham - Liverpool
Everton - Chelsea
Coming back to your argument in that...
... is the FH chip therefore worth using when many of the desirable teams aren't selected for this chip?
Think the FH is worth more for a DGW although it can be said that one might have a lot of players for those gameweeks already.

Re: FH DGW25
Ok I see your point. But you can only have 3 Liverpool players. Of course if you have used TF with GW31 blanks in mind then maybe your other 12 players are set by then, or at least 8 more of them.

Re: FH DGW25
I have no idea whether or not to FH this Dgw. Looking at my squad, any suggestions?

Re: FH DGW25
You made two transfers allready for a -4 and those transfers should be good for the future balance of your squad going forward? I would saved the FH for later.The Real Slim Shady wrote: ↑01 Feb 2019, 19:51 I have no idea whether or not to FH this Dgw. Looking at my squad, any suggestions?
You need work on your squad before GW27 . Starting that work now is good because if you free hit you will just get back your problems for the coming weeks in GW26

Re: FH DGW25
Doubts over Fabiański, Rüdiger and Pogba and not having any City player have triggered my Free Hit.
Currently on this:
Pickford
Alonso, Trippier, Rose
Sterling, Hazard, Sané, Sigurðsson, Richarlison
Agüero, King
Wan-Bissaka first sub in case Alonso misses out.
Players I’m still considering are Boruc or Guaita, Luiz, Mee, Van Aanholt, Son (worried about his “cramp”), Llorente, Salah and Mané.

Re: FH DGW25
^ Salah for Sterling and a city defender for one of your Spurs. Not because I like salah better than Sterling I just think City defenders are worth more points this GW than Spurs.

Re: FH DGW25
He isn't flagged at all on FPL - not that I am questioning you, just wondering where this info came from?
Good luck with the FH. I am currently not … but teetering on the brink, and if I do I would have Rudiger, given doubts over Alonso, Luiz being a clown at risk of being dropped etc

Re: FH DGW25
I have TAA, Kamara red flagged, Digne part red flagged, and Pogba, Camarasa and Tomkins all yellow flagged. Might get 11 playing, but it could be 8 (and that assumes others are ok of course).
After using my one FT I have Sane and Aguero doubling.
Already used WC.
Had decided on balance not to FH. Don't trust Everton enough to warrant it.
What would you do?

Official Chelsea Twitter. I think Alonso might start this one and given his high ceiling I’d like to take the gamble. Hopefully he won’t burn me with a cameo.raoul wrote:He isn't flagged at all on FPL - not that I am questioning you, just wondering where this info came from?

Kept faith in this side
so off to a bad start with Rose benched of which I even thought about 10 mins before the deadline . Expected Walker-Peters to start instead though.Joccki_10 wrote:Pickford
