    on FH
    Bailey or Kuddus?

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Would see what baileys mins are like on thursdsy

    2. agueroooooney
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months 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
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

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

      1. JammySprat
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

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

    2. agueroooooney
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months 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
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

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

    3. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

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

  3. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 8 months 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
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months 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
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 8 months 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
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 8 months 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
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months 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
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Thanks!

    3. FPL Sanky
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months 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
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 8 months 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
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

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

      1. agueroooooney
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 8 months 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
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 8 months 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
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

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

  5. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 8 months 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. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

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

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 8 months 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. Karan_G14
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 8 months 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
            • 8 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            Fair point. Won’t rule out 31. Thanks

    2. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      B- solanke to Toney 🙂

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Thanks!

  6. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 8 months 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
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months 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. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Thanks mate!

    2. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Wait till 31

  10. Count of Monte Hristo

    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

  11. STRNATOR
    • 3 Years

    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
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      It's about not losing one free transfer.
      Thanks!

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      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
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

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

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months 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
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

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

      2. Wobbles
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

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

  16. Rassi
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    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).

        He would have been the 6th...

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

            RMT likes Fofana a lot, not Wissa if not clear.

              Ok, I think I might take a punt if I was freehitting. Easy to say because I am not...

    2. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I'm going with Watkins, Toney and 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?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      no

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

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

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          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

    2. Wobbles
      • 4 Years

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

  19. Wobbles

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

    1. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Toney if at all

  20. JabbaWookiee
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    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?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

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

      1. JabbaWookiee
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        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.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          1 year, 8 months 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.

          1. JabbaWookiee
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            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.

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

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

              1. JabbaWookiee
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                1 year, 8 months ago

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

    2. boc610
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      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.

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

        This.

        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

        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

      31

    3. el polako

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

    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
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      -4 is fine.

    2. aapoman
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months 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
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months 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
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

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

    5. space mercenary

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

  23. FPL Sanky

    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

  24. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    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.

  25. The Final Boss

    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
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months 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.

  26. abaalan

    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

  27. Tonyawesome69

    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%

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

      1. Rassi
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        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.

    Why is no one keen on Cash for FH29?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years

      Konsa says hi... Emery should revert back to 4ATB

    2. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

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