Yahoo Focus – Gameweek 10

Next up this Friday, we bring you news of another big-money weekend contest from our partner game Yahoo.

They are offering a bumper Premier League £6k Saturday contest for the upcoming Gameweek. This consists of the six Saturday matches that take place from 3pm onwards, ending with the 5.30 pm clash between Bournemouth and Chelsea at the Vitality Stadium.

The contest is guaranteed to run, costs £5 to enter and is a multi-entry game, which means you can select up to 10 teams. The top 280 places pay out – there’s a minimum win-back of £10, with £600 going to first place.

Our featured XI below will therefore focus on this contest, which is the biggest payout on offer in Gameweek 10.

Driven by Opta data, the Yahoo game has a scoring system perfectly suited to members of our community seeking out a Daily Fantasy Sports game.

New players can sign up and claim a free £50 in credit to your account when you deposit just £5. Promo code: Fantasy50.

It’s also worth having a read of our Strategy Guide before picking your starting line-up, as this gives you a better idea of the mechanics of the Yahoo game and the types of players in line to benefit.

FFS Strongest XI

Simon Mignolet – £13
Marcos Alonso – £16
Sead Kolasinac – £15
Scott Dann – £13
David Silva – £21
Eden Hazard – £19
Mame Biram Diouf – £18
Manuel Lanzini – £15
Alexis Sanchez – £25
Mohamed Salah – £25
Richarlison – £20

As Yahoo allows late swaps up until each kick-off, our listed line-up could be subject to change.

Liverpool’s home record brings Simon Mignolet into our selection for the first time this season ahead of their head-to-head with Huddersfield Town at Anfield. For all their troubles on the road, Jurgen Klopp’s side boast the best defensive record in front of their own fans, with just a single goal conceded. The visitors, meanwhile, have failed to score in each of their last three on the road. It’s worth remembering that keepers earn points for wins or draws, as well as double the number of points as defenders for a clean sheet.

Marcos Alonso’s potential at both ends of the pitch could be worth investing in for Chelsea’s trip to a Bournemouth side that have scored just three goals in four home matches. The Blues’ left wing-back – who continues to lead the way among defenders for shots (14) and efforts on target (five) this term – fired three attempts inside the box at Crystal Palace in his previous away appearance. He also scored in this fixture last season.

Sead Kolasinac is one of two Arsenal players to make out XI as we look to target Swansea’s troublesome right flank at the Emirates. The Swans have conceded 43 chances down that side of the pitch – the second-worst record in the league – and could be forced into a defensive reshuffle due to Martin Olsson’s hamstring injury. If Kyle Naughton is switched to the left, Paul Clement could be forced to field veteran Angel Rangel against the Gunners’ raiding left wing-back. Kolasinac has supplied two assists and three clean sheets over Arsenal’s four home matches.

Crystal Palace centre-half Scott Dann boasts the goal threat to trouble West Ham at Selhurst Park. Although he’s yet to find the net, Dann has produced eight efforts inside the box in the first nine Gameweeks and faces a defence that have conceded more goals from set-pieces (six) and headers (five) than any other. And the Hammers have been somewhat toothless on their travels, with just three goals in five road trips.

We were all set on selecting Philippe Coutinho for Liverpool’s home match with Huddersfield but the Brazilian is a big doubt due to a groin problem. Instead, we turn to Mohamed Salah on the back of his fifth goal of the season in last week’s loss at Spurs. The Egyptian has found the net in two of his three home starts and has produced more shots in the box (26) and efforts on target (18) than any forward involved in the Saturday £6k contest.

We’re opting for the security of starts offered by David Silva as Manchester City make their way to West Brom. The only one of Pep Guardiola’s main attackers to be rested completely in the midweek cup match with Wolves, the Spaniard has supplied four of his six assists away from home – more than any player in the league. The Baggies have one clean sheet in seven and have a number of injury concerns at the back.

Eden Hazard is our preferred Chelsea attacker for the trip to Bournemouth. The Belgian is slightly cheaper than frontman Alvaro Morata (£21), who was hauled off on the hour-mark at home to Watford last weekend. His record against the Cherries – four goals in his last three matches – suggests he looks in line to benefit against a defence with one clean sheet to their name all season.

Classified as a midfielder in Yahoo yet currently playing up front, Stoke’s Mame Biram-Diouf offers an in-form out-of-position prospect away to Watford. The Senegal international has scored in each of the last three matches and has fired 10 shots in the box in the previous four Gameweeks. His hosts Watford, meanwhile, have shipped 10 goals in front in front of their own supporters.

Despite having Dann on board in defence, we’re also backing West Ham’s Manuel Lanzini for their head-to-head at Selhurst Park. Even if the Hammers fail to score, the Argentine’s underlying numbers suggest he can be a viable pick. Lanzini fired five attempts on goal in last week’s 3-0 loss to Brighton and still scored a respectable 11.65 points.

A goal and assist away to Everton suggests that Alexis Sanchez is returning to his brilliant best in time for Arsenal’s home clash with Swansea. As mentioned above, the visitors’ right flank could prove very profitable at the Emirates, and the Chilean’s statistics strengthen that theory – he is second overall for both shots (19) and key passes (12) in the last four Gameweeks.

Watford’s Richarlison comes in for the home encounter with a Stoke defence that has conceded more goals (20) than any other side. The Brazilian has been a highly consistent source of Fantasy points, with three goals and four assists across the campaign so far. Over the last four Gameweeks, only Harry Kane (15 to 11) has managed more shots inside the opposition box.

This Week’s Contests

The Saturday 3pm slot, covering the six matches from that time onwards, offers Yahoo managers four of the biggest prize contests of the weekend.

All are guaranteed to run.

As mentioned above, the Premier League £6k Saturday contest has the largest pay-out.

There’s also the Premier League £2k Saturday, which costs £10 to enter and has a minimum win-back of £20 to the top 60 Yahoo managers. You can submit up to two teams for this contest, and the winner earns £200.

There are two Premier League £1k Saturday contests also worth considering.

One costs £25 to enter, with the top 13 Yahoo managers sharing the prize pool. First place earns you £200, with a minimum win-back of £50.

The other is just £1 to enter and pays out to the top 235 places, with a minimum win-back of £2. You can enter up to 10 teams, with £100 going to the first-placed manager.

Yahoo are also running a Premier League £100 10-Player Top 3 Win contest.

It’s for the 3pm slate, but also includes the Bournemouth v Chelsea tea-time match.

The entry fee is £100, with the ten entrants sharing a £950 prize pool across three paid places. The winner will be handed £450, the runner-up £300 and the third-place prize is £200.

The Premier League £1,000,000 Perfect Lineup Cup, which takes place over Gameweeks 1-19, continues this week.

It’s free to enter, with £500 in prizes and £50 for the best team every week. Over the 19 Gameweeks, there’s £40k in prizes on offer, with £30k shared among the top 5,000 and £10k going to the winner.

The Yahoo Cup also has a “£1,000,000 challenge”, which gives away £1m to any user who selects the perfect line-up in any given Gameweek to score the maximum possible points.

And in midweek, the Champions League also returns to Yahoo.

There is a Champions League £4k contest on offer for both Tuesday and Wednesday evening’s matches.

It’s the same set-up for both. They are each £5 to enter and pay out to the top 191 places, with a minimum win-back of £10. You can enter up to eight teams, with £400 going to the first-placed manager.

You can open an account and get started immediately.

If you register and deposit £5 or more, Yahoo will also give you a £50 bonus to be used as cash to enter paid contests.

    Hum Drum Conundrums:

    A: Sterling OR Coutinho doesn't play:
    Ward (NEW), Abraham (ars), Daniels (CHE) on bench in that order

    B: Sterling does a 1minute cameo for 1 point. Coutinho plays, but badly due to niggling injury. 1pt.

    C: Sterling AND Coutinho don't play, 2 of my bench above come on.

    D: Take a hit for either Cout > Salah OR Sterling > Richarlison

    E: Cout & Sterling > Salah & Richarlison (-8pts) and hedge bets.

    1. Puzzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Ward is a great bench player. Would probably do D for Salah.

    FPL 2017 - The year the 'Free Hit' chip was introduced
    GW10 2017 - The week numerous managers wasted the Free Hit chip 😉

    In others news - Coutinho FACK!!!!! Brought in for a hit to be my captain....ugh!

    1. Efan Ekoku Pops
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Imagine having the free hit chip available to use in a DGW or when there is a limited number of fixtures in a GW...

    2. Odikostar
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      regreted not doing that ealier this week. Not so much rn :)))

  3. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years

    Pages are absolutely flying

    1. Ivanov Itch
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      50% 'what affect does free hit chip have'

  4. Ivanov Itch
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Bottomed, sorry! Be good to get opinions on this...
    Taken a -8 to get to
    Jones / Mee / Stones / Davies
    Silva / Sterling / Salah / Xhaka / Richarlison
    Morata / (Abraham)

    Is it worth using free hit to do another 4 transfers to get to
    Jones / Mee / Monreal / (Davies)
    Silva / Sane / Salah / Ramsey / Richarlison
    Morata / Jesus / (Abraham)

  5. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Should I WC this team or let the autosubs work their magic? Already on -8 😐

    Elliott
    Alonso Azpilicueta Kolasinac Cedric
    Richarlison Zaha Coutinho*
    Kane* Morata Vardy

    Fabianksi | RLC, Mariappa, Carroll

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Tbh I don't prefer my WC team, besides the fact it doesn't contain injured players

      Elliott (Fab)
      Otamendi Ward Dann (Daniels Mariappa)
      Mahrez Salah Zaha Richarlison (Carroll)
      Jesus Morata Vardy/Firmino
      2.6 ITB

      But I don't want to waste FH chip either.

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        2.6 to get Kane back in for Jesus?

        Wouldn't have both Mahrez and Vardy the way Leicester are playing 🙂

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Or Morata. Up to me next week.

          I don't want to choose Firmino or Silva simply because I already have Mahrez or Vardy. I'll only switch if it looks like they're likely to get more points individually 🙂

          1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Aye that's fair enough 🙂 It's a shame Firmino is struggling for form - can see 2pts from both him and Vardy... I would expect Silva to outscore Mahrez long term unless Leicester turn their season around

            1. Deulofail
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 5 months ago

              Cool I'll likely make the Silva switch

      2. Pooodle
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Wouldn’t wildcard. Another hit to remove Kane probably worth it though as he’s so expensive.

    2. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Blimey. WC, shift Alonso out, Cout to Salah and hold Kane

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers. Why hold Kane if I can get Jesus and bring Kane back in next week?

  6. 404_FC
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    own sane / morata / alexis

    who would u bring in
    a. kdb or silva
    b. hazard
    c. eriksen or alli
    d. ozil
    e. zaha

  7. balint84
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    which is better for thsi week?

    A) Jesus-Abraham-Salah (free)
    B) Jesus-Vardy-Salah (-4)
    C) Jesus-Firmino-Salah (-4)
    D) Jesus-Vardy-Abraham (free)
    E) Jesus-Firmino-Abraham (free)

  8. trinzoo
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Salah / Richarlison / Gross / X / RLC
    Kun / Jesus / Tammy

    Best mid to finish WC ? 10.5 ITB

    A) Hazard
    B) Alli/Eriksen
    C) Morata for Jesus and but City mid

    1. Odikostar
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      C

  9. Winners900
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Kane out:

    A) Firmino -4p
    Vs
    B) Morata -4p

    Is Firmino someone we might forgot here? Same bad form as Morata, better fixtures, and will more likely to play 90 minutes too.

    Thoughts on this?

    Thanks

    1. trinzoo
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Might play on the wing though...

    2. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Salah or Richarlison captain this week?

      1. Snevitz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Oops forgot I was starting to write a reply....Firmino has not lasted a whole game yet but he does have good fixtures for the next few whereas Morata has United next week. Think i'd go for Firmino as a short term acquisition.

      2. LarryDuff
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        salah, look at watfords home record

  10. Pooodle
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Kane escape plan - how do these sound:

    A) Andy King and Kane out, Salah (c) and Vardy in (-8)

    B) King and Kane out, Salah and Firmino in (-8)

    C) Kane out, Morata or Lacazette (-4 - leaves me with no bench if Sterling misses out)

    1. Pooodle
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Could also do:

      D) keep Kane, and remove Sterling for Salah and now play RLC

  11. HashAttack
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Bit of a pattern developing with the top scorers each GW

    Kane, Sterling, Fellaini, Morata, Kun ... all either scored 0 the next or got injured for the week after

  12. DeathoftheParty
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Free Hit team;

    Elliot
    Alonso, Ota, Bellerin
    Sanchez, Salah, Ricarilson, Gross
    Jesus, Morata, Firmino

    Dross, Dross, Dross, Dross

    Any ideas?

  13. CloudSky
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Thats it for me. Anything worth a hit? Will probably play Kane over Kiko to be safe and let autosub work their magic.

    Elliot
    Otamendi Luiz Ward Kiko
    Salah (C) Hazard Richarlison Choupo
    Jesus (VC) Vardy

    Fabs Kane RLC Hun

    1. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Nothing worth a hit.
      Hoping Jesus plays, as I don't think anyone else on your bench will.

      1. CloudSky
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        RLC will get a minute or two, maybe even start.

  14. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    The realisation that your team is messed up, you're in work til 5 and out tonight.

    Drunken wildcard it is...

    1. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      The best one there is.

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      It's when you wake up the next day at 3pm, turn SSN on, and then think to yourself "shit, I can't remember who's in my team"

  15. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    They won't announce Cout fitness before deadline will they?

    1. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      No.

    2. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      THEY might, but who knows who THEY are?

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        they do

  16. Wings Fan
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Kane + Sterling > Aguero + Salah for a -4

    Yay or nay?

    1. Wag the Drog
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      aguero played 120 min so I'm worried about him

  17. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Annoying that Cout isn't either in or out. If he was definitely out I'd consider a -4 to upgrade a non playing bench player but if Cout plays then that player would remain on my bench anyway.

    On the same line of thought, how nailed do we think Marriapa is when Kaboul and Britos are fit?

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Not nailed. Should get a proper bench at some point anyway ready for Xmas 🙂

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah that's certainly a priority moving forward for sure.

        1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Think you'd be alright with him this week anyway 🙂

          1. Smurf
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Hopefully. Thanks for the input.

  18. Wag the Drog
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Free Hit looking like a good idea? Sterling and Aguero played 120 min.

    Current team:
    Elliot
    Trippier-Mee-Jones
    Salah-Sterling-Eriksen-Davis
    Kane-Jesus-Firmino

    Free Hit Team:
    Elliot
    Monreal-Jones-Mee
    Salah-Sane-Sanchez-Richarlison
    Lacazette-Jesus-Firmino

  19. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    On a serious note, who do I captain now Kane is out?!

    Morata - Salah - Aguero??

    1. Wag the Drog
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Morata or Salah imo. I'd do Salah

      1. Kodap
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        G-Whizz, I don't really understand what all of that is..... could you simplify?

        1. Musicholic
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Free members don't have an option to ask for simplified write ups.

        2. G-Whizz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          It suggests that Arsenal and Liverpool have the easiest fixtures this week.
          You can also use the clean sheet odds given there to help your selection.

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Too much confusion this week

    Sterling Bavies and couple others a big rotation risk

    Could get more nailed on picks but scared sterling will play and punish me

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling didn't even play a minute the week before his 120 minutes champions league match.

      So in my eyes he has more chance in starting than someone like Aguero does....

  21. Scotty B
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Elliot (Fabianski)
    Bellerin Cedric Jones Alonso (Tuanzabe)
    Salah Shaqiri Eriksen Ritchie (Carroll)
    Kane Lukaku (Abraham)

    2FT, 0.1 ITB

    Thinking Shaqiri & Kane out but to Who?

  22. HD7
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Current team:

    Elliot
    Walker Jones Simpson Kola
    Sterling Atsu Eriksen
    Kane* Kaku Jesus

    Subs: Fabianski, Carroll, Chalobah, Mbemba

    So Kane:
    1) Sold for Morata -4 but next week Kane has Palace and Morata United...
    2) Free hit chip now and not wait for blank week
    3) Hold and just play Tarrroll

    1. Efan Ekoku Pops
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      3

  23. Park the bus
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    issues with Davies, Kane and Wood. don't have any playing defender subs so planning selling all 3 to get Stones, Lacazette and Firmino. thoughts?

    1. Park the bus
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      would be for -4 as have 2 FT's

  24. Runaway
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Decided to ditch Kane. What would you do with 2FT and 0.1 ITB?

    A) Kane -> Lacazette (C) and roll 1FT to get Kane back more easily
    B) Kane + Hazard -> Sanchez (C) + Morata for free
    C) Kane + Choupo + Davies -> Lacazette + Salah (C) + Duffy for a hit

    Team atm:
    Fabianski Elliot
    Otamendi Davies Maguire Ward Mbemba
    Hazard Silva Richarlison Choupo Carroll
    Kane Jesus Vardy

  25. Deep Sea Amphipod
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Feck it. (K)un, VC Morata. In the event he doesn't start, I don't particularly mind a 20 minute Kun cameo anyway and he often tends not to come off the bench

  26. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Mariappa isn't nailed right?

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Nah Watford have some first choice defenders coming back from injury and they've not exactly been rock solid with him playing

      1. Deep Sea Amphipod
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Amazing he's hung on this long really

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Thanks guys

      Fixtures good for next 2. Then city. But those away games look tasty. Shame it'll be under a defensive manager.

    Are any Kane owners holding or taking a - 4?

    1. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Holding. Too scared he gets declared fit next week. Not using 2FT on him out then in

        This

      Probably gonna keep him and sterling.
      Fixtures week after too good

      Doing it for free. I'm not that bothered about using 2FT to remove and then get in the most expensive player in the game where he could be out longer

  29. Free Hit Rules - with example

    For all those who are lazy and causing chaos relating to Free Chip:

    Managers who have already made their transfers or spent points on trades will be reimbursed after activating the Free Hit chip.

    However, managers need to remember that their squads will return to their original state before their transfers were made, including swaps made prior to the chip being activated.

    How about an example?

    For example, if you swapped in Richarlison (£6.3m) for Raheem Sterling (£8.2m) on Monday and then activated the Free Hit now, then it will be Sterling who returns to your squad ahead of Gameweek 11.

    Player price changes will also be reflected in your squad value.

    So if Richarlison increased in value after you signed him and Sterling dropped in price, the City man will be restored at his new lower value and you will not gain any profit from Richarlison.

      Yep thanks.

        Hey mark,just watched the fpl show,with Kane being injured what will your plans be? As we know,spurs when it come to recoveries,they are always late ahead of schedule,Should we take the risk and bring a replacement until we know more information about him?

        So do I read this that you could in effect have an extra wildcard?
        My logic says that on a Tuesday for example I change my entire team for what I want it to be not for the next game but the one after that I.e. The team you want to go forward with longer term.
        The you activate the free chip and make ll your changes for that next game. This nullifies the cost of any transfers made previously.
        That way you get a great team for one week and then a new team for the following weeks and no cost of transfers.
        Not sure if I've read it right but that's the way it reads to me.
        Mark have I read it correctly, if so this is the best chip we have.

          All the transfers yoi made in thr GW before the free hit will be cancelled. You go back to GW 9 team.

      Bought Coutinho and Richarlison for Eriksen and Carroll last night. Also have Kane. Is it free hit time?

      Other option is playing 2 of Joselu, Cedric & RLC instead.

        Let’s talk about this Hippo. I did the same. Eriksen and Sterling to Coutinho and Richarlison. Also have Kane. And took a -4 for Jones to Otamendi. Which means Tom Carroll and Lowe are coming in. Not good. Free Hit chip looking like it could make sense. Could build a really nice wild card team for this week, and then get everyone (including Eriksen for Palace) back for next week. It would also wipe out my hit. Only hesitation to using the free hit chip is that it may be useful 2nd half of the season when there’s a Gameweek with only 4-5 teams playing (remember when that happened last year?) And then we would have full squads against our rivals who only have a few players. But is that even going to happen again. I don’t know. Thoughts?

          Exactly my thinking! It’s tough. Getting Eriksen back for Palace would be a big bonus, as would Sanchez (C) as he’s such a differential. You can plan for the blank gameweek, but I think that’s what I’m going to save it for. Joselu to the rescue! What are you doing Ducks? Good luck!

      I take it we don't carry over a FT if we use a free hit?

    4. Nailed Jesus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      What about the numbers of transfers carried forward. If you have 2 free transfers this week, but activated the free chip, are you back down to 1 free transfer next week or 2?

      So I will be reimbursed the -20 points I took in 5 hits (don't ask) if I play the Free hit chip?

        Please tell

      2. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED

        and yes you'll get the points back.

          Thanks! The lesson learned is don't make rash transfers on a Sunday evening because you're team is doing horribly!!! Wait for the pressers!

        Yes

    8. Lovejoy
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Sorry to muddy the waters here but does the free hit chip affect SV?

      for instance I brought Otamendi in when he was 5.7 a few weeks ago, he's now 5.9 so my SV is currently 5.8. If I lose him on the free hit chip (say I fancy using spare fund to upgrade a mid), when he comes back into my team (assuming he's still market value 5.9) is his SV now 5.9 in my team?

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        No, why would that be?!

        If you play your FHC ahead of gameweek 10, then after the gameweek completes your team will be restored to how it was after gameweek 9, i.e. gameweek 10 was a one-week wildcard in effect.

        Whatever players you had in your gameweek 9 team will now be back in your squad for gameweek 11, along with the price you paid for them. Any profit/loss during GW10 you will benefit/suffer from.

          Ah I'm with you, thanks for the clarification TS.

    9. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Sorry, but isn't your example incorrect? Surely Richarlison was in your Game Week 9 squad and so it will be him not Sterling who comes back into your squad?

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Oh I get it, you swapped IN Richarlison.

    11. The Nuttman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I assume the same would be true if I sold a player on a free chip and he then rose in price, I'd get the price rise when my squad returned back. Yeah?

    Hi guys,

    Need some help please. Earlier in the week, I transferred in Aguero for Lukaku so current team is:

    Elliot
    Jones, Femenia, Morgan
    Salah, GroB, Sterling, Silva
    Aguero, Vardy, Kane

    Subs: Fabianski, Surman, A Smith, 3.9m

    Do I use the free chip, make one more transfer (-4 pts) & if so, what do you suggest or leave?

    Thanks,

    Mike
