    FH37, how sensible is this team with 6DGWs? Low TV, must compromise:

    Pickford* (Foster)
    Cancelo TAA Cash* (Holgate Amartey)
    KDB Son Zaha* Buendia* Diaz
    Richarlison* Watkins* (Richardson)

        Will have a look at Buendia further, could go LEI mid otherwise. Capt not sure perhaps Son or if really want the double Rich/Watkins.

      Looks nice. I made a similar draft earlier with Robbo instead of TAA, Salah over Buendia and Mina over Cancelo. Unsure of City def against West Ham, they normally give City a good game so I think they'll score

    Anyone else on FH next week a bit lost? I'm only sure on 5 players (Pickford, Son, KDB, Zaha, Richarlison). The rest I'm mixed on. Want to punt on Ings if he doesn't play v Liverpool, if not maybe Watkins but not too confident. Not sure of whether to go Salah + Diaz or Salah + Robbo, or to even punt on Jota or Mane instead of Salah. Can fit in Maddison if I don't double up on Liverpool mids but unsure if I should even bother. Will probably get Cash but don't trust Villa defence, wanted Mina but injured today.

      I’m the same mate, think the Line up for Liverpool in the cup final will help us to decide who are the best options for the Saints game to go for, like Diaz or Jota, Salah or Mané for example, I’m currently on Mané and Jota, but that can be Salah and Maddison too(same money)

      My worry with Zaha is that I never like palace away and although he'll probably start viera said this

      Will some of the young players be playing soon?

      I always think the last few games we have to build for next season. There are some young players who have been with us who will get involved. I will always have a mind to put a strong team out to win football matches and yes, I will give some opportunities to young players but they'll need to be surrounded by key players.

    Absolutely devastated after the recent weeks, going back to the theory that FOL is really luck based.
    Hade Sterling last two GWs and (c) him only to sell him for KDB before this DGW…you can be tinkering 24/7 but won’t overcome that. Just waiting for the new season and some more luck!

        Captaining Sterling any of last 2 weeks isn't really bad luck, just a risk unfortunately (which may or may not pay off)

        As for FH, again, FH in 38 is a risk and there's doubles in 37, so logically 37. Hope your luck improves for the last 2 weeks.
