G-Whizz’s RMFHT

Let me start off by saying this is a first draft; obviously decisions on who makes the final cut will be made nearer the deadline and of course IB injuries permitting..

Kepa (Stekelenburg)

Luiz, Laporte, Schlupp and AWB

Hazard, Sterling(C), Pogba

Rashford, Kane, Aguero (VC)

Bench: Stephens, Romeu and Simpson

The Remainers:
Only Luiz, Laporte, Pogba, and Aguero make it into the first draft and will more than likely make the final cut too.

The Exiteers:
Fabianski, Steele, van Dijk, Robertson, Evans, ManΓ©, Maddison, Fraser, Anderson, King, Vardy and Success.

By Position

Goalkeepers
Kepa makes the comes in as I go for a Chelsea defensive double up. Stekelenburg was brought in for Steele who looks as if he could drop in price so why take the risk? Never know when you might need that Β£0.1m on a Free Hit…

Defenders
AWB and Schlupp come in to double up the Crystal Palace defence, chance Schlupp could deliver attacking returns too.

Luiz completes the Chelsea defensive double up. I’m not entirely convinced with Chelsea’s current form but Cardiff and Brighton is too hard to refuse. Decent chance of at least one clean sheet there imo.

Laporte completes the four man back line as the first part of a Manchester City triple up.

Midfielders
Can’t see my FH team going without either Sterling (possible Captain) or Hazard, surely everyone and their dog will have those two. Pogba (another Remainer) makes up my trio in midfield.

Forwards
Aguero is another holding strong claims for the armband. Kane is Kane, could do anything, score a brace against Liverpool and blank against Crystal Palace! Who knows with Spurs at the moment, I think some will have to choose between him and other big hitters but for now, he can stay. Rashford slots in nicely and could be nice value…

Original team value: Β£107.1m
Free Hit team value: Β£105.7m (ITB: Β£0.2m)

Obviously some things will change (news on rotation, injuries etc.) and new ideas will no doubt come to the fore, but as a first draft it’ll do for now. Will still be tinkering right through the International Break and see where and what we end up with πŸ™‚

        Quite good, but I always get turned off by David/Bernardo teams.

          1. Lionel Ronaldo
              6 years, 8 months ago

              If he is declared fit, I would rather downgrade Bernardo to enable Rashford. Of course that is just me, if you intend of going 4-4-2 regardless, up to you.

            Not keen on double palace defense. That haven’t kept that many cs recently. Huddersfield are now playing freely like a team that have no more pressure since they know they are relegated. Don’t think they are a given cs anymore.

        2. Lionel Ronaldo
            6 years, 8 months ago

            9.1M to spend on 2 defenders who will start:

            - Preferably with two fixtures
            - Cannot be from City
            - Already have a Palace defender, so no double-up unless forced to

            Tomkins/Duffy perhaps?

              1. Lionel Ronaldo
                  6 years, 8 months ago

                  I am interested in neither Wolves not Watford players, bearing in mind the rotation possibilities due to the FA Cup semis.

                Tough parameters... maybe at that price Duffy/Tomkins is the best you're getting. Cathcart might also be a differential to consider?

                1. Lionel Ronaldo

                    Thank you for the response, but see above.

                  Shaw/Lindelöf & Valery

                  1. Lionel Ronaldo
                      6 years, 8 months ago

                      I was told Shaw is one yellow card away from suspension.
                      Lindelof could become a father anytime, including during the DGW.
                      While I can understand the Valery pick based on form, he has no DGW.

                  2. Dank Squid

                    6 years, 8 months ago

                    I would probably pick Boly and Valery. Boly hasn´t been rested in PL so far this season (he missed two starts following a red card in December). Valery could be a great option, considering price vs points potential - scored in the last two PL games, could get attacking returns even if he only started one game in 32.

                    1. Lionel Ronaldo
                        6 years, 8 months ago

                        I duly acknowledge both of your points. Yet, I do not feel confident about these.

                        1. Big Mac 24
                          • 13 Years
                          6 years, 8 months ago

                          I think your options are extremely limited with the the 9.1 budget and handcuffs you've put on, something has to give.

                          1. Lionel Ronaldo
                              6 years, 8 months ago

                              That is the price to pay to have a near-perfect (from my perspective) squad elsewhere...

                      • Alpharius
                        • 7 Years
                        6 years, 8 months ago

                        Dunk & Duffy (though gives you a Brighton double up). Both have goal threat, should play against S’ton, and if their is rotation against Chelsea (not a huge risk for CBs imo, then it would only be one)

                        1. Lionel Ronaldo
                            6 years, 8 months ago

                            Not the wisest of choices, but definitely sensible. Cheers for that, will bear this in mind.

                            5-3-2? Interesting. Very decent, too, provided the clean sheet gods favour you.

                            Nice team. Would maybe bring in PVA/Schlupp or Duffy for Lindeloff to spread the risk.

                            1. The Sociologist
                              • 6 Years
                              6 years, 8 months ago

                              Agreed on PVA/Schlupp, will be lots going with Palace defense this GW, covering looks safe.

                            6 years, 8 months ago

                            Not sure on double United defence but otherwise quite nice.

                          • Big Mac 24
                            • 13 Years
                            6 years, 8 months ago

                            Nice, agree with Palace instead of Lindelöf.

                            I perserved for 6 weeks wih PVA but I think Scvhlupp has stolen his thunder, PVA has no attacking threat recently, is he playing behind Schlupp?

                          • Poseidon.
                            • 6 Years
                            6 years, 8 months ago

                            Looks the same as everyone else’s - seems ok

                        2. Lionel Ronaldo
                            6 years, 8 months ago

                            Assuming Lindelof becomes a father and Bissaka isn't declared fit, I might have to do:
                            Lindelof/Bissaka/Montoya ---> Schlupp/Tomkins/Duffy.

                            Surely feels like a downgrade, yes?

                            1. LSK
                              • 7 Years
                              6 years, 8 months ago

                              On paper, but over 2 games I don't think it matters. All it takes is a Duffy goal and a Palace clean sheet and you're up.

                              1. Lionel Ronaldo
                                  6 years, 8 months ago

                                  Fair point, but it's more a matter of hope than confidence.

                              2. Baps Hunter

                                6 years, 8 months ago

                                I have Schlupp over Bissaka though

                                And the problem is Lindelöf not becoming father imo. Will he travel in that case? His missus isn't happy if he is not with her in labour and didn't let him play for Sweden abroad.

                                1. Lionel Ronaldo
                                    6 years, 8 months ago

                                    Personally I think Schlupp's attacking potential is over-rated. I like to think Bissaka's bonus potential is as good.

                                  Can you do just AWB to Schlupp?
                                  Lindelof will only miss one match max,

                                      6 years, 8 months ago

                                      Thing is, I have value tied to Bissaka. I have him since GW1, so it's as if I have bought him at 4M. Selling him only gives me 4.2M, so no direct change to Schlupp.

                                      Also, how can you confidently say Lindelof will miss only a game? Are you the Obstetrician? πŸ™‚

                                    Solid. Son over Alli

                                      Son is cheaper as well.
                                      If I could squeeze another 0.2m I could get Zaha over Bats

                                          6 years, 8 months ago

                                          Kepa/Azpi -> Ederson/Luiz does that. Also check the 'Best GK to have for DGW32' article.

                                            Yeh that’s an option but Ederson offers less attacking threat that Laporte.
                                            Yep, read that earlier. Swayed me towards Kepa but open to change.

                                                6 years, 8 months ago

                                                You must have misread. The article actually favours Ederson over Kepa.

                                                My bad, you already have three City otherwise.

                                          Very good imo. Although not keen on Alli personally.

                                            6 years, 8 months ago

                                            Covers 3x City/United/Chelsea nicely. However, I don't buy the Alli love. Monitor the Zaha/Batshuayi situation.

                                              6 years, 8 months ago

                                              Yeh just looking for a differential. Maybe just play safe with Son or go Dilva and swap out Laporte for a Palace defender.

                                                When Kane was injured, Son was the striker (and got attacking returns week after week). Kane has started in the last four gameweeks - Son has four consecutive blanks.

                                                I would choose Alli, he could benefit when Kane attracts attention.

                                          Been on this for a few days now, any changes needed?

                                          Aguero, Rashford, Bats

                                          If Rashford is out I'll probably just swap him for Jimenez or Deeney and ignore the risk of rotation.

                                            Looks very good.
                                            All the bases covered. Your probably wise not to tinker too much. Could all change with injuries from this week.

                                          Thoughts? 433? Or 442?
                                          OR change to 3 at back and get rid of Azpi to Pedro Delu etc

                                          Aguero Lukaku

                                          11th as Deeney or Delu

                                            Risk with Deeney and Deulo is the very real rotation risk, so I'd consider looking for alternatives there, but I imagine it might be hard to squeeze the cash out from that team.

                                            Would you be confident in Kepa + Laporte instead of Azpi and Ederson?

                                              Could Knockhaert fit in there?

                                                Thought about him, if I went Knockeart instead of Azpi I might be able to get Rashford with Lukaku but idk if too much united

                                              Nah. Feel Laporte won't play both.

                                                Stones, Otamendi and Kompany are all flagged - should be a decent chance Laporte plays both (as CB), I assume? Unless all those flags are typical IB ones, of course ...

                                            Thoughts on Kane? Is he worth the premium for the double, or does he hinder the balance and structure of the team too greatly? 12.5 is A LOT and the funds can be dispersed amongst the other 10 players quite effectively.

                                                        Does he score or not? Yes he does.

                                                    Yeah too expensive for my taste, but if you have good / excellent TV like some I think you can make it work.

                                                    He's good to have, but at 12.5 like you say when the funds can bedispersed to have for example two good players over one, i'd avoid, just so costly, and for that price, he needs to pull it out the bag, can't rely on Harry to do that with confidence imo.

                                                        4 goals in his last 5 games after a torn ankle ligament. I'm not sure what level of confidence you need.

                                                          Well, not having one of his games away at Anfield would be a good start.

                                                          yeah but not been exactly braces have they for THAT price, i will never have confidence on Kane, you're maybe overhyping him.

                                                              Or maybe you expect too much from him? He has no obligation to be scoring 7 goals every weekend.

                                                        Too expensive for me with Lukaku and Aguero locked in, but have seen some teams on here that have made the inclusion of Kane look just about passable.

                                                        I expect 10-16 points from Kane. You can make 2-3 upgrades in your team without him. Some upgrades will beat that and some won't. Some upgrades will score less than the enablers people are bringing in to afford Kane. It can't be helped or predicted over a 2 game period. Having the right/lucky combination of Dilva, Bilva, Sane, Eriksen, Alli, Son and Lukaku, Higuaín, Rashford will outscore Kane and Deu/Milli. But there's plenty of combinations that won't. I expect a lot of Kane teams to significantly outscore Kaneless teams and vice versa but I don't think there's a right or wrong answer, or a perfect combination of players you can bring in to replace him.

                                                        Away game vs Liverpool, best defense in PL. Sure, he scored a brace against them last season, but Lovren was a starter in that game.

                                                        Trickier to predict the game vs Palace. Spurs won 1-0 in both games last season (Kane scored the winner in the away game but blanked in the home game).

                                                        I´m predicting max two goals in this GW.

                                                          Agree on his potential of 2 goals - I don’t think that is enough of a return to justify his price tag

                                                          I have pretty similar team, but we are not alone.

                                                        So double Chelsea defence is a big gamble because of their recent form. I could go Ederson and Laporte but then that means I would need to drop one of Aguero or Sterling. What Spurs defender is most likely to play 180 Mins?

                                                          Strangely feel like B) with Kane makes better use of available funds. Any inclination to swap Rudiger > Laporte?

                                                          B, I think Kane will net in both games, and Higuain is not inspiring, despite having the way better fixtures.

                                                                  1. Babit1967

                                                                    1. No Luck

                                                                Eriksen Alli or Son ??

Son stopped scoring as soon as Kane made his comeback. Alli feels like the "dark horse" - not his best season so far, but got an assist in the last GW having just returned from injury, could get space to exploit if the opponents are marking Kane out.

                                                                Basically consists of 3x City and Che (def + mid + str) core along with some likely point scorers from the rest. Son is my least confident pick and is Shaw injured?

                                                                    Could switch Son + Jimi/Higuain for another mid + Rash/Lukaku if they are fit?

                                                                  Is this a serious team?

                                                                  1. Alpharius

                                                                    Probably. If the TV is low and you want the big hitters you’ll need some duds. Drop Alonso/Rico to Luiz/Foster or Ryan and it looks good. Camarasa has tough fixtures but on set pieces and at his price probs best option

                                                                    1. Baps Hunter

                                                                      1. Alpharius

                                                                    2. Rover

                                                                      Exactly this, with a sale value of 103m there's going to have to be some compromises.That's a good suggestion, and if AWB is ruled out it'll give me enough to upgrade to Schlupp as well. Regarding Camarasa, if Chelsea/City lose their clean sheet against Cardiff, there's a good chance that Camarasa is involved in the goal, so it should even out.

                                                                      1. Alpharius

                                                                      AWB is injured.

                                                                      Alonso is likely to lose his place.

                                                                      Camarasa has ongoing injury concerns and needs his entourage to pass him fit.

                                                                      Jimi will only play 1 game.

                                                                      Start again.

                                                                      1. Rover
                                                                        • 9 Years
                                                                        6 years, 8 months ago

                                                                        See below. At 4.4m, between Rico and Ryan I see neither keeping even one clean sheet, so it's purely down to save points. So you're talking about who's more likely to get 3 saves per 2 goals conceded.

                                                                        Until pressers, AWB is "injured". And I can't remove him since I've had him from the start of the season yet so there's value tied in him, and if I want him back later, I won't be able to.

                                                                        Ok this is probably where I'm admittedly being stubborn and hopeful. To me, and purely based on highlights, Chelsea did not look much better without Alonso. But also my first source of half a mil by changing to Luiz.

                                                                        Last I checked, Camarasa has returned from injury, been cleared by his entourage and started the last two matches. Plus his coming off early was attributed by Warnock to cramps, so given a three week rest period, he should be fine. Again, pending pressers.

                                                                        And this has no basis. Granted, there are rotation fears, but Jimi has got minutes in every single game of the season, including over the packed Christmas and New Year period. So I''m confident of 120+ minutes from him.

                                                                        I'm not saying that's the best team you'll see on this sub, or that it will score the highest of all of them, but it was definitely serious and like Alpharius said a simple GK/Def change sorts out quite a bit for now till more info from pressers.

                                                                        So no, tweaking definitely, but not starting again.

                                                                        1. ChuckN

                                                                            However I will get him back in 33 at my original price when FH has ended.

                                                                              Why would you sell him on a FH if you were buying back on the same FH?

Personally would go Ederson, Luiz, Dunk, Pedro or something for Kepa, Smalling, Laporte, Mili. Potentially Kepa instead of Ederson and maybe Bilva for Mili? Idk just waffling tbh

                                                                        1. Pigeon

                                                                          1. Tsparkes10

Luiz could also be rotated for who knows why. Not gonna be straight forward at all :). Pedro is one of those imo... Gets either a solid 15 or awful 4

                                                                          2. Alpharius
