Three-time top 200 finisher Lateriser: My ‘mock’ Free Hit draft for Blank Gameweek 29

Thinking of doing Gundo + Son -> Auba + Bale for a -4, as I'm certain Son will surely not play GW29. Good moves?

Bottomed!

Stones > Dawson or Dias > Cresswell

Stones>Dawson leaves me with money ITB so I could do Bruno out for Bale/Lingard/Auba for -4 and then bring him back in again next week

Martinez
Konsa Lascelles
Raphinha Saka
Bamford Kane Watkins

What do you think of Reguilon for Villa and Newcastle? Is he a likely starter or is it better to go for someone safe like Cresswell or Dunk?

Think Bamford mostly starts, that'd mean I'd have 7 players (including son) going into BGW with 1FT
Cancelo to Cresswell gives me 8 (including son)
Son to lingard for a hit?

With Bamford looking ok, I'm less sure on Son.

Have 2 fts.

Am thinking:
DCL out for either Antonio/Watkins
Son out for Auba if Son ruled out.

Gives me 8 players:
Marti
Veltman - Cresswell
Auba - Raphina
Kane - Bamford - Antonio/Watkins

Decent for no hits, and I keep the players Id rather not lose (Bruno - Salah - Gundo - Dias - Cancelo)

Im thinking Dcl, Mithcel to Bamford, Weltman -4, Any better ideas?, got Son for 9m so kinda not sure i want to sell...

Martinez
Cancelo, Stones, Konsa, Struijk, Mitchell
Salah, Son, Bruno, Gundogan, Saka
Dcl, Antonio, Kane

An FH team based purely on xG + xA (per 90 minutes):

Sanchez
Aurier Cresswell Tierney
Auba Bale Lingard Raphinha
Kane Antonio Bamford

Areola Pepe Dallas Dunk

8.3m for a mid slot for 2 GWs, will WC in 31. Already have Raphina and Lingard. Anyone you got vibes for?

Pretty stuck on what to do with this lot...

Pope
Canelo, Stones, Dallas
Mount, Salah, Gundo, Lingard, Bruno
DCL, Kane

(Subs: Forster, Bamford, Holding, Mitchell)

Apart from wanting to get an extra body in for the collapsed GW, I am thinking ahead to next week. So far my ideas are:

A) Holding > Cresswell/Dunk, Salah > Bale for -4 this week
B) Cancelo > Cresswell/Dunk this week for free, Salah > KDB/Mahrez next week
C) Holding > Konsa, Bamford > Watkins/Antonio for -4 this week

Or other suggestions?

Which combo?

Bale+Cresswell
Or
Lingard+Reguilon

Anyone got good draft WC for this BGW29?

GW29 Player Coverage. For those without FH the following players have >5% ownership from the teams playing:

Arsenal:
Leno 6.7%
Tierney 5.5%
Aubameyang 10.5%
Saka 9.4%
Lacazette 5.4%

Aston Villa:
Martinez 42.1%
Targett 15.1%
Mings 9%
Konsa 7.1%
Grealish 17.8%
Watkins 27.4%

Brighton:
Dunk 8.2%

Fulham:
Areola 5.3%

Leeds:
Meslier 6.6%
Dallas 24%
Strujik 5.5%
Raphina 13.6%
Bamford 48.8%

Newcastle:
Wilson 5.6%

Spurs:
Lloris 6.5%
Son 52.9%

Kane 42.3%

West Ham
Cresswell 28%
Coufal 5.5%
Soucek 14.1%
Lingard 10.5%
Antonio 13.8%

Really not too much there to be afraid of for those without FH in my opinion.

I think only Son to Bale could be a profitable transfer cause with DGW32 coming for Spurs it will be bad have only 1 player from them if you get someone else. Maybe not even transfer out Son cause gonna need him back for the double?

Which last bgw players to get?

A) Bamford
B) Antonio
C) Cresswell
D) Dunk
E) Lacazette

Have
Martinez
Targett, Dallas
Bale, Lingard, Raphina
Kane, Watkins

(DDG, Stones, Dias, Digne, Bruno, Gundo, DCL)

1ft, 3.6 in the bank

Marti
Veltman Coufal Dallas
Bale Raphinha
Bamford Antonio Kane (c)
(Pope: Salah Gundo Bruno Dias Cancelo)

WC in 31. 1FT. Currently have 9 players.
A. Salah to Auba
B. Cancelo to one of Dunk/Cress/Tierney
C. Gundo to one of Trossard/Gross/Lingard
D. Two of the above for (-4)

Has anyone on here even considered that Villa might beat Spurs?

Auba or Bale for a hit?

Best defender to go alongside Dunk and Struijk (cant be another leeds guys), looking at Cresswell and Regi. Targett perhaps as i have no Emi

Re Saka, he's having another fitness test today: https://arseblog.news/2021/03/saka-facing-late-fitness-test/

Thought on FH draft - not sure I like 3 West Ham:

Sanchez
Cresswell ~ Tierney ~ Dallas ~ Dunk
Raph ~ Bale ~ Auba ~ Lingard
Kane(C) ~ Antonio

Areola ~ Son ~ Maja ~ Lascelles

Martinez
Dallas
Son, raphinha, anguissa
Kane, bamford

No FH. I need -8 or -12 just to cover rivals.
I thougt of WC29/BB30 to steal a march on all these "hitters" in bad spots (like me). Can i recover 50pts in 29+30?

No hesitation to take hits if not making up to 11 playing this week.

Take -8 or -12 to add 3 or 4 players in, the downside is very minimal.

Auba or Bale a better option?

Play Martinez or Messlier?

Afternoon all

Martinez | Forster
Reguilon Veltman Coufal
Son* Auba Saka* Lingard
Kane Bamford* Antonio
¦ Holding Cancelo Bruno

Saka -> Raphinha, for a hit?

Used my two fts already on Mee/ Cavani to Dunk / Antonio, really can’t see anything for a hit tbh

Any takers? 2.2 itb fh available

Sanchez Martinez
Dunk Holding * Coufal Cancelo** Dias**
Bruno** Gundo** Son* Saka Bale
Kane Antonio DCL **

DCL to Antonio for -4?

All being well does these 2 FTs sound like the best thing to do? (I have a WC which I plan to use after gw29)

Salah and Gundogan -> Aubameyang and Lingard

To get this team for gw29:
Martinez
Dallas Coufal ***
Auba Son Lingard Raphinha
Kane Antonio Bamford

Pope; Fernandes, Stones, Cancelo

Thoughts on that plan? Or would you bring someone else/some hit?

2FTs: Stones Salah to Dunk Bale gives me the team below:

Martinez
Dallas/Dunk/Coufal
Bale/Lingard/Raphinha
Kane/Bamford

Or Auba instead of Bale? DCL to Watkins instead of Stones to Dunk?
