    GW13 FH team = 72 pts. all out

    GW13 TC team would have been:

    Raya (?)
    Vvd (6) Senesi (2) Richards (1)
    Saka (?) Bruno (10) Semenyo (1) Ndiaye (2) Enzo (?)
    Haaland (tc 6) Thiago (13)

    So, GW13 TC team w/3 to go = 41 pts.

    Saka, Enzo, and Raya together would have to notch 31 pts. in order to equal FH team. We'll see ...

        Free Hit is a chip best used in a Blank GW, just unfortunate this new format means the first FH doesn’t have optimal use.

    Free Hit crew; I’d be interested to know how you got along this week in comparison to if you hadn’t used your FH…
    Anyone do significantly worse by playing the FH?
    A resounding success for me personally. 68points all out on FH as opposed to 34 points with Enzo, Saka & Timber playing now. No matter what happens in this game, I can’t see those three would’ve taken me anywhere near what I got on FH.
    And the best bit is that had I not played FH I’d have certainly played TC chip for a massive extra 2 points from Haaland.
