      It was a tough call anyway. Even though I heard of Doherty being benched I was still happy to start him. He is the sort of player who could come on and get something. Just look at Az this week - he has Jota sat on his bench with 11 points! He obviously thought he might miss out.

    Currently 8 players for GW31 (planning FH32 and WC34). Issue is I have 3 Wolves (Jimi, Jota and Doherty). They have good fixtures and a double after the blank so who would you hold onto? I have the most valued ties up in Doherty so thinking of ditching either just Jota or Jimi and Jota. What would you do?

              2 x 2 points in 31 & 33 covers the 4 points so no excuse not to be fielding 11 in both 31 & 33

                Only true if you have a wildcard.

                I think if you taking the FH32 approach, you need to keep a 4/5 potential DGW35ers.

                  If you still have chips yes assuming FH32 & WC34

                    Do have WC still, and planning on that strategy. Considered other strategies, but had three Liverpool players already several weeks back, as well as Balbuena and Puncheon, so that decided which strategy to use.

                      Puncheon will likely not feature though, so that was a blow for the GW31 planning.

                That's true of course – didn't think of it that way. Would mean a -4 two weeks in a row though. Can only hope I don't get punished by mini league rivals in GW 30.

    Would appreciate some feedback on transfer plans. So far off the pace that i’m trying to keep hold of my chips for bigger potential DGWs at the very end of the season (still have WC, FH, TC and BB)

    GW30: Hamer > Fabianski
    Ederson, AWB, Digne, TAA, Salah, Pogba, B Silva, Anderson, Jimenez, Higuaín, Barnes. Subs: Fabianski, Hayden, Shaw, Doherty.

    GW31: B Silva > Mane, AWB > Taylor
    Fabianski, Taylor, TAA, Digne, Mane, Salah, Anderson, Hayden, Barnes, Higuaín. Subs: Ederson, Jimenez, Pogba, Shaw, Doherty (field 10)

    GW32: Salah > Jota, Barnes > Lukaku
    Ederson, Doherty, Shaw, TAA, Pogba, Jota, Anderson, Mane, Jimenez, Lukaku, Higuaín. Subs: Fabianski, Hayden, Taylor, Digne.

    Then will probably wildcard in GW33, especially if this has not gone well.

      why you want to hold onto all of your chips....32 is certain to be the biggest DGW, and you can only play 1 chip in a GW

      like the teams your going for though, a bit different from most I've seen here

    How has Almiron looked? Worth bringing him in over Fraser/Brooks?

      Hasnt looked terrible by may stretch, runs around A LOT and is very high energy

      I’d prefer BOU guys though, Almirons start bodes well for next year after he has a pre season under his belt & has a bit more PL experience

    DM'ed the leicester ITK 'Sean from Enderby' regarding any changes to the starting line up today

    His response below for anyone interested:

    "Hearing it's unchanged but Maddison has a fitness issue so u might see him left out"

      Good info from a reliable source. As much as Sean seems a bit mad from his tweets, he's the best ITK in the game right now.

    Remind me, when I play free hit chip, does it wipe out any rolled free transfers so that you'll only ever get 1 free transfers the week after playing your FH chip?
