      My dilemma I'm on A at moment I got Haz as well dont really wanna double up with Higuain but those fixtures are sweet

    I find it hard to let Doherty, Jimenez and Mane go on FH32. Aware of the rotation risk with Wolves guys, but do you recon it's wise to leave Mane out as the guy is main man in-form right now?

    If so, who would be the best replacement for pool guy?

    Ederson
    Doherty Lindelöf Luiz
    Pogba Sterling Mili Mane
    Aguero Jimenez Rash

      surely gotta get hazard on a FH, bigger upside.

    2. MTPockets
        5 years, 1 month ago

        hazard

      • JoshyC
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Haz 100%

      • Miniboss

        thanks guys, Hazard it is.

    3. simong1
      • 5 Years

      A or B for this GW only?

      A) Kane, Kante & Duffy/Doherty
      B) Rashford, Son & Azpi

      1. JoshyC
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        B

      Was just looking at Spurs' record against Crystal Palace at home and it is usually quite tight:

      Last 5 games at home:

      Spurs vs Palace 1-0
      Spurs vs Palace 1-0
      Spurs vs Palace 0 -1
      Spurs vs Palace 1-0
      Spurs vs Palace 0-0

      This is making me slightly reconsider Kane a bit

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        time for some goals

      2. No Kane No Gain
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        what if kane was the scorer with 2/3 bonus points?! plus a shady goal v liverpool and thats a good haul

      3. MTPockets
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Indeed. Plus liverpool away...

        • pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          From memory the away record is similar - they’re almost always tight games.

          But I’m still going Alli - not in the Kane league of punt I know. Palace may have a super away record this season but a fair number of those games have been comparatively high scoring - their attack outperforming their defence.

      4. drughi
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        My FH team defenders have 9 goals and 11 assists between them, like the odds for returns over 2 games even if there is no CS 🙂

        1. The 5% Team
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Duffy Schlupp and Luiz?

        2. JoshyC
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Nice

      5. Saka Punch
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Random question, but are save points in DGWs totalled at the end or in each game?

        So if keeper gets 4 saves in first game and 2 in the second, does he get 2 save points for 6 saves or just the one for the initial 4?

        1. MTPockets
            5 years, 1 month ago

            each game

            1. Saka Punch
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Thanks

          Choose one:

          a) Lukaku

          b) Higuain

          1. JoshyC
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            A

          2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Depends what you would do with the money but A for his form

          3. MTPockets
              5 years, 1 month ago

              B, just because Rashford's 3.2m cheaper

          4. JoshyC
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            A) Laporte and Alli

            OR

            B) D.Silva and Jiménez

            Interested in why if you can be bothered.

            1. JoshyC
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Laporte almost guaranteed 2 CS and Alli could explode.

              D.Silva attacking against 2 cellar dwellers, and Jiménez in red hot form.

            2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              A because of Alli's higher ceiling compared to Dilva

            3. The 5% Team
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              I have A...wanted to get a City defender over a 3rd attacker, Alli is more of one week punt (will get Son back on WC34)

          5. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            This place really does feel like a think tank this week.

            FFS exceptionalism and the FH template.

            1. diesel001
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Non-template FH:

              Ryan
              Trippier Emerson Holebas
              Neves Mili Pogba Hazard
              Aguero Deeney Kane

                • 6 Years

                Hmmm!

          6. CarrollsPonytail
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Pondering going 4-3-3 due to a lack of decent 4th midfielders. Rudiger seems more appealing to me than say Townsend, Jota or Deulofeu.

            1. MTPockets
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah that's why I'll probably pass on Kane - to bulk up 4th mid to another mci

                • 6 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                im doing the same, Ryan, Luiz, PVA, Young, Azpi

              • caldracula
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                That's what I'm doing, not with rudiger though. Had to go cheap due to owning Kane, Aguero, Sterling and Hazard.

                A) Guaita, Duffy, son, bats/deeney

                B) ederson, azpi, schlupp, zaha

                Which one? I’ have pretty low TV

                Rest of team is pretty template

                1. caldracula

                Sterling Hazard Pogba XXX
                XXX Aguero Jimenez

                Which option looks better?
                A) Guaita, Son, Kane
                B) DDG, Alli, Lukaku

                  DDG, Mili + Kane?

                    Don't fancy Mili. Thanks though 🙂

                Going a bit dirty cheap in defence:

                Kepa
                Lindel, Boly, Schlupp
                Sterling, Haz, Pogba, Dilva, Mili
                Kun, Lukaku

                GTG?

                  • 10 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Boly just arrived in my team too.. think it looks good but I'm doubling CHE-defense..
                  I'm going:

                  Kepa
                  Boly Wan-Bis Luiz
                  B.Silva Sterling Pogba Hazard
                  Aguero Lukaku Jimenez

                    • 10 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    So basically Lind + D.Silva + Mili vs Luiz + B.Silva + Jimenez.. tough to call!

              5. Punty
                • 10 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                A) Ederson + Milivojevic + Doherty

                B) De Gea + B.Silva + Jonny

                C) Kepa + B.Silva + Boly

                Thoughts on my latest FH team?

                Ederson
                Azpi - Tomkins - Dunk
                Pogba - Hazard - Alli - Milli - Dilva
                Kun - Lukaku

                1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
                  • 6 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Dunk's a wrongen.

                5 years, 1 month ago

                Just me that feels like missed chance with TC? Aguero was the right choice I think. Now trying to cram BB TC in to last 6 weeks. Really feels like WC last week BB this and FH 35 was better plan?

                1. The 5% Team
                  • 5 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  nah...WC in BGW31 was never a good plan, think nobody has gone for this.

                  what's your plan now?

                  1. Johnnyboy UK
                    • 11 Years

                    FH 32 with WC 34 for BB in 35 and TC 36 ish

                2. jtreble
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  FH35 doesn’t look good to me at all. Good luck.

                  Yep. Rivals that used fh last week in good shape for this week anyway. All depends on 33 then...

                  1. jtreble
                    • 7 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    FH31 managers are at a disadvantage IMHO. We’ll see soon enough. Good luck.

                      5 years, 1 month ago

                      I free hitted last week and feel I'm pretty well set for 32. Can get the following with no hits:

                      Patricio
                      Luiz Kolasinac Doherty
                      Sterling Pogba Son Milivojevic
                      Aguero (TC) Rashford Jimenez

                      Just the one player without a double (Kola) but he's got Newcastle at home. I know there's the risk of wolves rotation but hopefully the triple captain will make up for that

                      1. jtreble
                        • 7 Years
                        5 years, 1 month ago

                        TC32 not for me. Good luck.

                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Sorry,GK is Ryan instead of foster

                  1. Christophe Savage
                    • 8 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    Foster in for Ryan.

                5 years, 1 month ago

                Haven’t seen any FH teams with 4 or 5 at the back ... defenders are the most likely to start both games .... and there are clean sheets in those doubles, lovely crisp cleanies 🙂

                1. SPorting
                  • 12 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Ederson + Laporte?

                2. caldracula
                  • 8 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Playing 4 at the back

                  Ederson
                  Azpi Duffy Wan-b Schlupp

                3. MTPockets
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    Doesn't appeal to me at all given the attacking team options

                    1. Hotdogs for Tea
                      • 8 Years
                      5 years, 1 month ago

                      Attacking options are great, but not so great if they are benched in one of the 2 games 😉

                      1. MTPockets
                          5 years, 1 month ago

                          Defence options are great, until they concede in both

                          1. Hotdogs for Tea
                            • 8 Years

                            That’s the whole gamble ... but I can see quite a few clean sheets for City, Chelsea & Utd, throw in Palace v Hudds .... there are cleanies in this game week I tell ya, cleanies 🙂

                                I wouldn't be surprised if the highest scorer is a defender, again. But picking 4 or 5 from the bunch seems difficult to me, vs mids who get 1/4 cs pt + increased other-points potential

                                  It’s a punt, but no more so than Mili, Bats etc

                            But as is proven with aguero he does not even need to start both games to score big - was benched in his first DGW then got a hat-trick v arsenal!
                            Sterling could also do the same.
                            I am happy with my
                            Ederson-Rudiger-Azpilecueta-Smalling defence with the big guns in midfield I feel like I am covered either way.
                            Would you trust the Palace/Brighton/Watford defence? I don't.

                              Any 5 at the back team I would come up with would also have Sterling & Kun because you have to cover them as popular captains & TCs

                        I looked at it but with my team value (105) I can afford a top 6 - 3 at the back and goalkeeper - 4 in midfield and the only odd one out is Batshuyai. It is where all those watching the prices all season/gambling on early transfers will hopefully pay off.

                        Ederson
                        Smalling-Luiz-Rudiger
                        Hazard-Sterling-Pogba-Alli
                        Aguero-Rashford-Batshuyai.

                        If people have low TV I think 5 at the back is the way to go leaving one or even of of sterling/hazard/aguero.
                        In that case you would be trusting Palace/Brighton/Watford defence more.

                      Might have to reconsider bringing in a Utd FWD. Looking at potential minutes can see Rashford + Lukaku getting close to 90 mins x2 each with Martial and lingard sharing the other 180 minutes between them over the two games. The only other threat to these are Mata who hasn't had many minutes at all recently, not sure if that is down to injury though or just out of favour.

                        Dalot seems to get more minutes in Mata's place

                          After watching Dalot in the game vs PSG he was on my radar. Can't bring him in with the lack of playing time he's been getting though.

                          How do you decide that sterling has one start - but travels playing for England?
                          But Aguero who is not playing international football this week only gets one?

                            Sorry - copy & pasted ... Sterling one start also 🙂 both to play FA Cup semi a few days later

                              Ah I see.
                              City have been very fortunate with the FA cup draws - even the Brighton game gives him a chance to use his squad after the Cardiff one.

                                I think Pep had a wake up call after Swansea and Wigan must still be fresh in his memory accordingly - he knows it can be harder to win a one off cup match and perhaps easier to beat the likes of Fulham ?

                      Got no FH so loading up Chelsea / Palace players..

                      Can't afford Hazard.. Is Pedro an option?

                        I have Pedro, think he is a decent option...especially in your case when not going Hazard

                          Neither, but Palace if have to choose. Although in reality Ryan + Duffy is probably safer than Guaita + def for starts

                        going without aguero in hope his minutes are comprimised. If somebody strongly thinks this is not possible please speak up!

                          His minutes should be good with no Internationals for him
