    I have currently only Martinez, Watkins, Taylor playing on 29. Could get Son, Bowen and Toney with FTs and then WC.

    Is it better to just FH on 29 in my situation and save wildcard for later?

    The best I can get with FTs for GW29 is this 7 which includes two I already have that are flagged

    Areola
    Pau, Porro
    Son, Maddison, Bowen
    Watkins

    Bringing in Doughty, Luiz, Barkley, Toney on FH (which admittedly aren't the most appealing of options) adds 15 points according to RMT, plus another 5 for bringing in a DGW28ers, over Bowen.

    So the question is will bringing in players that are likely to DGW in GW34 for strong SGWers add more than 20 points? Given that the likeliest options to choose from are BOU, EVE, CRY, SHU & MUN or NEW players, and I will have 5 FTS between GW30 and GW34 to bring players from those clubs in any way I'm thinking probably not.

      Most of those doubles in 34 look rubbish, except maybe if Man Utd can get Højlund back & recover some form then NEW SHU could have some appeal.

      I think the extra 3 attackers here could easily net you 20pts although for me that would be Toney / Bailey / Richarlison. And I just don't like the idea of a FH34 team full of Palace, Everton etc over LIV/ARS/MCI/TOT SGW players

      I’ve pretty much come up with the same equation on RMT, a 15-20 point gain which is decent.

      However I’m still considering non-FH. I’m pretty much ignoring defenders so a handful of forward players is not too tricky to get in for a total of 7 players and a couple of Luton is worth a hit in the week before.

      But I’m not sure the gain in 34 is that great either and I’d like to protect and grow my ML lead (40 points) so FH probably still favourite.

      Probably going to risk not using FH in GW29 and going with 6 or 7 players. Doesn't seem ripe for clean sheets so that's 4 spots that don't pose much threat. if I can cover highest owned 3 or 4 players I think I can get more value later. This season looks like key issues will go down to last couple of GWs so an FH in later GWs could prove a bigger differential. Plus City playing Arsenal in GW30 is interesting for those who do FH in 29

      I am. For me no-FH team = Son & Richarlison. Not too bothered about defenders but Toney, Bowen, Watkins, Bailey, Awoniyi looks worth it alone.

      Also I don't want a whole ton of doublers in 34 if the likely DGWers are EVE/SHU/CRY/BOU/WOL and expect my team to be well set for doublers in 37 (City, Liverpool, Spurs, etc) without a FH.

        I think for 34 you'd be okay with going for 5-7 DGW players and the rest being strong single GW players like Haaland, Saka, Watkins etc.

        BB37 does seem like the play if it's expected that all the big teams will have a double gameweek then

    Hi guys

    I’m one of those who will not be using free hit in 29. I have 6 already (not including Kabore), happy that I can get to 9, including most key players.

    Big question for me as someone who hasn’t yet had a chance to bring back an Arsenal defender: what would you do here?

    A) Estupinan to Gabriel for free (then either get to 8 for 29 or take hits for more)

    B) Estupinan to Doughty (plays 4 games compared to Gabriel’s 2 over the next 3 GWs) or another defender playing in 29 for free

    I know a lot have double Arsenal defence but best to go some way to correcting that mistake now?

      I think there's more than 7 good attcking options for 29, with Forest attackers being particularly overlooked. But maybe I agree that defensive spots don't look all that valuable unless Brentford can eke out a CS (because the CS % for the other teams will be very low, at least in my estimation)

      I’ve got the same number and not ruled out getting to 6/7 players by 29 but I think the c20 pt gain of a FH is probably worth it and there’s always a risk of injuries to the players you bring in without the benefit of FH so probably going with the chip.

    Defence is in the mud! I was going to use 2 FTs to do Estu & Adebayo to Senesi & Solanke, but now one's close to a ban and one could be injured, what to do!

    Areola (Dub)
    Estu / Regu / Saliba (Bell* / Baldock*)
    Palmer / Foden / Gordon / Saka / KDB
    Haaland / Watkins

    I'm now just thinking of making 2 defensive transfers instead of Solanke this week, but who do I need?

      Could do Estu to Zabarnyi if you're worried about the Senesi YC situation. Gabriel is also a good long term player to bring in. Doughty is also an option to attack the double in 28 and has a game in 29 if you're not free hitting.

      Personally I'd just do Estu to Gabriel and assess again in GW28

    Bringing in Kudus over Bowen was not a great gamble to close the gap on the leaders..!

    Am I best to stick with him now?
    Planning to dump KDB and Alvarez for Salah and Solanke/Watkins.

    Other attackers are:

    Gross Nacho Palmer
    Toney Haaland

    If I can get to this with a -4, should I save the FH for a double?
    Flekken/Areola
    Porro Doughty
    Son Maddison Bowen Luiz
    Watkins Toney

    It does mean going without Solanke for the double though

    I'll have four players with three transfers, one of which will get Solanke next week if he's ok and probably Neto. Looks like I'm on FH then! Otherwise rocking a 1-1-1 formation 🙂

    Areola
    Doughty
    Son
    Watkins

        Aside from Salah, my team is set. I don't want to mess about selling triple City, triple Arsenal, Palmer. Plus I'll be swapping Alvarez to Solanke next week which doesn't gain anything for 29. This frees me to add Neto too, so four DGW28 players. Thinking of getting Richy back, Luiz, Toney, Barkley or Morris, Bowen. It's time for me I think.

    Currently got 8 players for GW29, so it's an easy no-FH

    Should I do the WC30, FH34, BB37 plan? Anyone in the same boat with a better idea?
