    on FH
    Bailey or Kuddus?

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 3 days ago

      Would see what baileys mins are like on thursdsy

    2. agueroooooney
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 3 days ago

      Probably Bailey but I'd wait for pressers

    Where is the agreed bar for -4 being worth.

    Son is unquestionably above the bar - could return less than 4 BUT is too explosive to risk without.

    Madison? Porro? Is this the bar?
    Other spurs?
    Toney?
    Doherty?
    Others?

    Anyone else on the bar?

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 3 days ago

      Think it all depends on whether you wc straight after or use them in 30 too

      1. JammySprat
        • 5 Years
        3 months, 3 days ago

        True but you'll also have 3 players come in official bench in 30. Looking at WC 31 where fixtures shift

    2. agueroooooney
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 3 days ago

      In isolation (e.g. if using WC next week) then definitely the attackers you've mentioned are worth a hit. Doughty more 50/50.

      But if not using WC you have to look further ahead. If you're bringing them in for someone you would like to ditch long term anyway then even more reason to do so, whereas if you're bringing in Maddison for Saka/Foden/Palmer it's a bit more questionable.

      1. agueroooooney
        • 9 Years
        3 months, 3 days ago

        In isolation I think Bailey and Morris could be added to that list

    3. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 3 days ago

      Wrestling with a similar issue. I think Toney is worth a -4. Maddison feels more borderline

  3. Rhodes your boat
    • 7 Years
    3 months, 3 days ago

    Solanke to Toney and play with 9? 1FT 9.6itb

    Areola
    Porro Doughty reguilon
    Son(c) Bowen
    Watkins morris

    Kelleher Ake saliba Saka palmer foden solanke

    1. agueroooooney
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 3 days ago

      Think so yeah, I'm looking at Solanke to Morris for a hit which has less upside. Think we're both in the same boat wanting to keep our three non-playing mids which rules out Maddison

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        3 months, 3 days ago

        Cheers! Yeah I’m a fan of Maddison but not sure I want him over foden/saka/palmer next week too. Wc31 in my case, what about you?

        1. agueroooooney
          • 9 Years
          3 months, 3 days ago

          I'm slightly tempted if I was definitely WC31 but I want to keep my options open as well, pressers could change things if there's any injuries

    2. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 3 days ago

      Yeah, go for it. As above, would have ordinarily considered a hit for Maddison but not with your set up

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        3 months, 3 days ago

        Thanks!

    3. sankalparora07
        3 months, 3 days ago

        I am going with the same 9 but I have Konsa as an additional player....will probably be 1 point over you in GW29

    4. agueroooooney
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 3 days ago

      No FT left

      Solanke -> Morris for a hit?

      A) Yes
      B) No

      Not sure when I'll be using WC so don't want to ditch any mids (and not sure about losing Solanke)

      Areola
      Porro - Doughty - Taylor - Reguilon
      Son - Bailey
      Toney - Watkins

      Not playing:
      Dubravka - Foden - Saka - Palmer - Solanke - Gabriel

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 months, 3 days ago

        Quite tricky in your situation. I probably would. I’m likely to WC30 and will go without Solanke

        1. agueroooooney
          • 9 Years
          3 months, 3 days ago

          Interesting, not sure when I'll WC and this move also frees up funds to do Foden to Salah for GW30 and Toney to Haaland GW31 with no hits which keeps my options open

          1. PascalCygan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 months, 3 days ago

            Nice. More reason to then I’d say. Depending on your situation, this is a good chance to move away from some well owned players and get on the next bandwagons early

      2. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        3 months, 3 days ago

        Tough one this, not sure it’s worth a hit if you want solanke next week

    5. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 3 days ago

      Not a huge fan of the idea of taking a hit a week before wildcarding but not ruling it out. What would you do here?

      A) Solanke + Gordon to Toney + Maddison (-4) and bench a defender
      B) One of the above for free, field 11

      Plan is to WC30

      1FT 11.5ITB
      Areola
      Doughty Kabore Reguilon Robinson Cash
      Son Bowen
      Watkins Morris

      Dubravka Solanke Foden Saka Gordon

      Cheers!

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        3 months, 3 days ago

        Can delay wildcard to GW31 if you can get Salah for GW30.

        1. PascalCygan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 months, 3 days ago

          Cheers. WC31 was my original plan but, having made drafts for 30 and 31, they really weren’t that different. I could get by with my 29 squad in 30 but at the moment I’m leaning towards pulling the trigger a week earlier and getting key assets like Salah, Haaland and Palmer back - as well as fixing that defence.

          1. Karan14
            • 8 Years
            3 months, 3 days ago

            Yeah I think doubles info would be key for when to WC. There might be a case where DGW36/37 might get announced before GW31 deadline rather than GW30 deadline which has happened before. Also feel Spurs & Villa assets have good fixtures in GW30 who will have to be sacrificed on WC. Plus the Arsenal vs City game in GW30.

            1. PascalCygan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              3 months, 3 days ago

              Fair point. Won’t rule out 31. Thanks

      2. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        3 months, 3 days ago

        B- solanke to Toney 🙂

        1. PascalCygan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          3 months, 3 days ago

          Thanks!

    6. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 3 days ago

      Would you wildcard this team in GW30 or wait for GW31?

      Dubravka
      Cash Porro Gabriel
      Salah Son Maddison Saka Bowen
      Watkins Toney

      (Areola Morris Saliba Doughty)

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 months, 3 days ago

        Think you’re in a better position than me to wait until 31, so that’s what I’d do in your situation

        1. Karan14
          • 8 Years
          3 months, 3 days ago

          Thanks mate!

      2. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        3 months, 3 days ago

        Wait till 31

      Seems crazy that Gyökeres was playing in England, performing well and could have been monitored by PL clubs with ease yet he will now cost £85m with the release clause.

        Shhhh. let out boy alone, keep wrecking defenses for that stripe jersey. There are many strikers available "better". Someone can snatch Jackson from Chelsea or martial from United

      Please, give me advice.
      If I make transfer now, then immediately freehit, so the next round I will have one free transfer, right?
      Thank you!

      1. STRNATOR
        • 2 Years

        It's about not losing one free transfer.

        You will have 1ft next week. However, the transfer you make this week will be wiped when you play the fh. So you will have your gw28 team in gw30.

          Since all FH teams will probably be the same, who would you (C) this GW, no mather if you are on FH or not?

          1. boc610
            • 12 Years
            3 months, 3 days ago

            watkins for me, best form often away and up against a poor west ham side

          2. el polako
            • 6 Years
            3 months, 3 days ago

            For it’s either Toney or Son, non FH team.

            The big question is, which non obvious midfielder can score big this week?

            JWP, Kudus, Perreira, one of the Brentford guys?

            1. theodosios
              • 6 Years
              3 months, 3 days ago

              By team:
              BRE - Jensen
              LUT - Chong
              NFO - Hudson Odoi
              FUL - Wilson
              TOT - Kulusevski
              WHU - JWP
              AVL - Douglas Luiz

            2. Wobbles
              • 3 Years
              3 months, 3 days ago

              Maddison is in my thinking at the moment, seems to building up some form, will probably go for Son in the end.

          What's your ranking of bgw29 strikers?

          My top 5:

          1) Watkins
          2) Muniz
          3) Toney
          4) Morris
          5) Fofana

          Maybe too high on Muniz, just call it a hunch. Also plays away to SHU in 30 (if you are not free hitting).

                3 months, 3 days ago

                RMT likes him more than I thought. Very few will have Fofana.

          Monthly League Question
          Do hits on the first week of the month not be included in the monthly score?
          I assumed this was the case, but looking at monthly scores it doesnt seem to be the case- or maybe due to the gameweek not being finished?

            no

              Plenty take advantage in those leagues by taking hits that don't count in FPL monthly leagues.

                Can not believe i am only finding this out now- better late than never. Much appreciated torres, couldn't find info in rules/faqs!

                  Guess you missed this

                  Any transfer point deductions in the Gameweek before a phase starts won't be deducted from the phase score. For example, any transfers made in Gameweek 7 (preparing for Gameweek 8) won't be deducted from your October score.

          Oh dear...

          Asked how he assesses the goalkeeper situation and if he sees Neto as his long-term first choice goalkeeper, Iraola told the Daily Echo: “I don’t like to say number one, number two, number three.

          “I think there is competition for every position. Sometimes keepers will have to accept this.

          “He made very good saves against Burnley, probably made a mistake against Sheffield United.

          “It is part of their job, their position. Neto is very, very experienced. He knows better than me probably.

          “But I cannot say he will start. I think there is competition for every position, including the goalkeeping position.”

            Just trying to shake him up a bit I reckon

            ML leader has him, hopefully shakes him up by dropping him.

          Toney or Bowen for a hit?
          Not convinced about either 100% due to the poor form of WH and BRE

          1. Mozumbus
            • 2 Years
            3 months, 3 days ago

            Toney if at all

          Currently in the 'no free hit' gang. Can take a -8 to get to these 8 players:

          [No GK]
          Robinson* - Doughty - Taylor
          Maddison* - Son
          Toney* - Watkins - Morris

          Or could be a 4 if I forego Robinson. Thoughts?

            3 months, 3 days ago

            Maybe a different defender (no idea on money left) or save the 4, rather another attacker but they depends on who you sell.

              I only want to get rid of one of my midfielders long term - Adingra. Others are Foden, Saka and Palmer.

              Got plenty of cash left atm but trying to make it as easy as possible to bring in Salah and Haaland in the next couple of weeks. Hence Robinson, who does have some tidy fixtures and decent numbers tbf.

                3 months, 3 days ago

                Fair enough, I'm probably selling one of those for a hit at least. WC31 likely makes the Salah and Haaland part easy plus 13m in bank.

                  I'm leaning towards 31 as well. Would've been nice to have the international break to mull it over but I think it comes that fraction too early.

                    3 months, 3 days ago

                    Well, if it's 31, make the most of these 2 GWs.

                      Meaning dead end the team with transfers and hits? Or use the FH!

            pay the FH chip . this is what its for.

              Feel there could be more upside to playing it in one of the bumper DGWs. Don't think the remaining 3 or 4 players I'd bring in would outscore the doublers, even with the hits.

                dont agree i think your rank jump will be higher now...everyone will have prepped for that DGW and other chips will be played like BB. also if you play the FH chip then it means your going to remove SGW players who could score big.

                  You definitely make some valid points. Thanks. Definitely a dilemma and still considering what to do. A bit of a headache but this is what makes the game interesting!

          People wildcarding "30/31", which GW are you currently leaning towards? Personally might just press the button after this weekend to get Salah, Haaland and Palmer back asap and sort out the defense.

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights

            31, don't like City vs Arsenal in 30. Gives you a big break from FPL too.

            1. Rupert The Horse
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years

              This.

            2. aapoman
              • 10 Years
              3 months, 3 days ago

              Honestly I don't think it is too bad. If I WC on 30 I'd likely have Foden, Haaland and Saka all starting and benching the Arsenal defender. Another alternative I'm considering would be to get Maddison and move him to Saka gw31.

            3. Biggsy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              3 months, 3 days ago

              Yeah I'd agree with 31. Can lose City and Arsenal assets for those with better fixtures in 29 and 30 and get them back in 31.

              Only issue is that you can't have too much of a break - less than 48 hours between last game in 30 finishing and the deadline for 31. Need to have the WC well primed and tweak based on what happens in 30

          2. The Knights Template
            • 10 Years
            3 months, 3 days ago

            31

          3. el polako
            • 6 Years

            31, then I can easily load up with Arsenal players.

        9. The Mighty Whites
          • 9 Years
          3 months, 3 days ago

          Non FH’er here - next week I won’t have Palmer or Salah - would you take a -4 for them both, or wildcard a week early?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years
            3 months, 3 days ago

            -4 is fine.

          2. aapoman
            • 10 Years
            3 months, 3 days ago

            I might just press the WC for gw30. Don't like my defense at all and want Salah, Haaland and Palmer back asap

          3. Biggsy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            3 months, 3 days ago

            I'll probably take a -4 for both. My main issue is that it getting both means losing one of Foden or Saka (and then WC them back in for 31 for about £0.6m more) OR taking out Maddison/Son who play Luton

          4. Mozumbus
            • 2 Years
            3 months, 3 days ago

            I'm not FHing
            Plan is to take a hit next week to bring in Salah

          5. space mercenary
            • 4 Years

            What is the value in WC 30 over 31; is it purely the City v Arsenal fixture?

        10. sankalparora07
            3 months, 3 days ago

            Areola
            Porro Konsa Regullion Doughty
            Son(C)
            Watkins Morris

            A) Gordon + Solanke to Toney + Bowen for a -4
            B) Gordon, Solanke and Foden to Toney, Bowen and Maddison for a -8
            C) Free hit as don't have enough attackers

            3 months, 3 days ago

            Solanke & Trippier > Toney & Porro for a -8 gives me 10 players and saves the FH chip. I think that's a -8 worth taking.

            Should also have funds for 1 week with Salah in GW30, and then WC in 31 to bring back Palmer, Haaland & Saka and ditch Salah most likely.

          • The Final Boss
            • 6 Years

            Guys confused when to wc 30 or 31? Is there any information to be gained if we wc by 31? Especially the details for the bou double whether its in 34 or 37?

            1. Biggsy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              3 months, 3 days ago

              I doubt you will have more info because 30 ends on a Sunday and 31 starts the following Tuesday.

              The benefit of 31 for me (not FH29) is that there are some nice GW30 fixtures for Spurs, Villa and Fulham assets I have or bringing in for GW29 and can load up on Arsenal and City from 31 without having to own them/bench them through their game in 30.

            A. Muniz + Madison -4. (Means losing saka / 9 players this week)
            B. Muniz. (8 players)
            C. Kulusevski (8 players)

            Will need those I bring in for few gws with WC 35/36 planned, no fh

            Non FH29 - suggest focusing transfers/ hits on attackers...

            GW29 clean sheet %
            BRE: 29%
            TOT: 26%
            NOT: 26%
            LUT: 24%
            AVL: 24%
            BUR: 22%
            WHU: 20%
            FUL: 17%

              I'd argue the results since Christmas suggest avoiding spending money/taking hits for defenders....

                I don't know if I would ever take a hit for a defender if it wasn't a great double or something exceptional onal. Certainly not with these cs odds.

              Konsa is suspended on Thursday so Cash almost certain to play there. Rotation risk for the weekend probably
