Re: FH GW33
Same here. TC on Kun. Could be worse but shame after it started so well.
I’m in chase mode so will be loading up on Arsenal players for variance. Most that played the FH in GW32 or even GW31 will be lacking gooners so chance to make some make up ground. Still need to settle down and see what an actual team could look like.

Re: FH GW33
Quite like WIlson Vardy Higuain as a front line and whilst some non FHers will have one or two of them, not many will have all three.
Same with Mane, Salah and Hazard in the midfield (at the moment).
It's probably worth mentioning it's WC34, BB35 for me too.

Re: FH GW33
FH also is Salah a necessity still watching him play he looks awful,
Also wondering which Arsenal players to bring in thinking of both of them but then again Everton really playing good all of a sudden

Re: FH GW33
Id rather have no striker than Higuain, he has been pants for Chelsea.
Id not be surpised if he is dropped for Giroud soon or he puts Hazard back upfront and give CHO some game time

Re: FH GW33
I'm also on FH. Current very early draft is:
Dubravka
Robertson
Luiz
TAA
Tielemans
Mane
Hazard
Maddison
Vardy
Higuain
Lacazette
(Boruc) will probably swap for another GK
(Lejeune)
(Daniels)
(McNeil)
3.6m in the bank so there will be an upgrade or two somewhere. Maddison possibly to come out but I'm not removing him until I'm sure as I've got a little value in him.

Re: FH GW33
Early draft:
Schmeichel (Speroni)
Luiz / Chilwell/ AWB (Daniels/Connolly)
Salah / Mane (C) / Sigurdsson / Ramsey (CHO)
Firmino / Lacazette / Vardy
Although tempted by Rondon up front. Also, Everton have been reasonable at home since the Man City match so was considering Coleman or Digne...

Re: FH GW33
Are people picking Laccazette over Aubmeyang based on him being benched tonight ?
Any Arsenal fans on here care to shed some light on who is a concrete starter for Arsenal in attack, as i wanted to bring in Aub and mkhit and bith were benched tonight.
Would Lac and ramsey be a better option ?

Re: FH GW33
Good luck with FH33, I’m only fielding 9 players and expect to get about 40-45 pts.
I think if you can get more than 55 even with an FH in GW33 then you have done well. Just not a lot of points out there in GW33.
I would rather FH in GW35 if I still had the chip where I might expect an FH team to get 120-130pts and the FPL average to be about 80.

Re: FH GW33
Auba had a temperature so wasn't quite fit. Team news later in the week should hopefully reveal that Auba likely to start. But then Laca on good form and even more likely to start I think. Mcky is a dodgy one - always.Stevieste wrote: ↑01 Apr 2019, 22:54 Are people picking Laccazette over Aubmeyang based on him being benched tonight ?

Re: FH GW33
To be honest the more I look at it, the more of a minefield GW33 looks like. Hard to find many Arsenal players that have been playing regularly recently as well and they are my main incentive for doing it now. But I only have 7 (including Boruc) players right now and no Liverpool, Arsenal or Bournemouth. No Vardy either. So the FH kinda has to be played this week. I have a good team for GW34 and WC for GW35 so should be fine for those.Stu255 wrote: ↑02 Apr 2019, 00:14 Good luck with FH33, I’m only fielding 9 players and expect to get about 40-45 pts.

I have considered WC33 and FH34 or FH35 but doesn't really work well as far as I can see.

If Ramsey is injured does this help Emery move to playing both strikers anyway?

Re: FH GW33
I think if I was on a FH I'd be looking at:
3x Liverpool
2x Bournemouth
3x Leicester
2x Chelsea
1x Arsenal
More specifically, TAA, Robertson and Mane from Liverpool, they appear to be the 3 in form assets. Wilson and Fraser from Bournemouth, although King and Brooks are also good options. Vardy, Maddison and Pereira/Chilwell from Leicester, Hazard and Azpilicueta from Chelsea, and Kolasinac from Arsenal.
Higuain just isn't good enough, his goal output has dropped year on year since 2015/16, his legs have gone, basically. He can't keep up with play and break in behind defences, and Chelsea's malaise doesn't help him either. I see Hazard and Azpi as a better route to points basically, and more nailed on. I think a couple of Chelsea players makes sense as West Ham have switched off now, although they may raise themselves a bit for a London derby. Arsenal just seem a rotation minefield at the moment, so you may as well go for the cheapest decent asset they have on that basis. Kola has multiple routes to points aswell, although Arsenal are a lot worse away from home than at the emirates.
I'd be careful of rotation too for Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal, with them all having european matches the following midweek. Therefore keep a close ear to the press conferences. Its not too bad for Liverpool and Arsenal as they have 3 rest days between GW33 and their matches against Porto and Napoli respectively, but Chelsea only have 2 days rest, and they are coming into GW33 off the back of 2 matches in a week rather than 1. That, and their poor form and sense of mutiny at the club, sways me towards only picking 2 assets or fewer from them. I think Hazard is an important shield pick due to his ownership levels, but you could arguably just go with him.

Re: FH GW33
Lots of good points here. Thanks. I’m tempted to go Salah instead of Mane though. In chase mode like I said earlier and he should be up for it with Bertrand calling him out too.TheRumourMill wrote: ↑02 Apr 2019, 12:10 I think if I was on a FH I'd be looking at:

You’d hope Hazard will start after getting benched against Cardiff. If Chelsea keep winning they have to continue taking the league seriously. Hazard & Azpi should do but if Higiuan shows any atom of form tomorrow I’ll be gambling on him too. 3 Leicester and 2 Bournemouth makes a lot of sense but I’d really like to have more than 1 gooner if I can find.

I love how you put Christmas Island as your location to try and win a country's league and you're only 57th. I guess a lot of other non-Christmas Islanders had the same idea as you.
That or Christmas Island is secretly an FPL hotbed.

Re: FH GW33
Welcome to the club F4c. Just had a look at your team and can see why it’s a tough decision to FH33. You have enough that it’s not quite necessary to FH this week but I’d prob do it now if I were you. Gains to be made fingers crossed. Been a tough few weeks for you. Hang in there and post your team if/when you cook up some freehit sauceFrom4corners wrote: ↑04 Apr 2019, 16:46 I am probably going to join y'all!
