But I thought the reasoning behind PEA & Rashford being MIDs this season is because they played last season as wingers, so put them in line with the Salah/Mane/Sterling type.

As Fabinho is playing as DEF this year, would the same rules not apply? It would be a cheaper entry into Liverpool defence anyways.

If everyone at pool was fit next season, wold Fabinho even get a game in midfield?

Wishful thinking I imagine. It would be nice OOP, not that he scores or assists much but sure at least he'd be a cheap defender that plays midfield

If he was reclassified he'd get massive bonus points with all his touches.

Along with those 3 being very important starters, at the moment it looks like Wijnaldum will be leaving on a free transfer this summer too. He is free to talk to other club as of tomorrow. So another 'rival' for a starting spot will have been removed.

100% he would. One of the, if not the, best holding mids in the league.

Anybody going to chance starting Mitchell this week? Motm last game and Palace fans seem to think he'll keep his place. Home to Sheffield...

Jaysus i don't know what to do now. I had set my team up for the DGW with no City players. Now, cover seems essential. Thing is i wont be able to get the likes of KDB, Sterling etc without a hit. Bah!

Tipsy McSwagger · 31-12-2020 5:25pm

Would like to say I am completely lost

Yup I have him and he will go straight into my first starting 11 team.

CSF · 31-12-2020 6:41pm

I think that City and villa DGW will have changed my plans from field 11 in 18 and FH in 19 for 11 DGWers to field 11 in 18 and probably play treble captain in 19 with 11 DGWers easier to come by, but extending to 15 for the bench boost would probably end up being too much of a stretch which might dilute the quality of my team overall.

Klonker · 31-12-2020 6:56pm

Currently only 5 for the blank gameweek so I think I'll go ahead with my plans for FH that week. Still planning to BB the the double gameweek and should now have 14 or 15 with doubles.

My problem now is it doesn't look like I'll be able to bring KDB or Sterling in for the double. Would love if Aguero or Jesus looked like they'd be a good option by then.

GetWithIt · 31-12-2020 8:43pm

Odds on hearing whether Chelsea/City will go ahead before the deadline tomorrow?

Sold Taylor for him to raise cash and starting him as I don’t fancy Alioski vs Spurs.

Western Pomise · 31-12-2020 11:37pm

All the best for 2021 folks.....let’s all pray that Covid has being and gone this time next year.

Coillte_Bhoy · 01-01-2021 3:42pm

Stupid question and i fear i know the answer but just on the off chance, is there any way to cancel an active Wildcard?

Stupid question but....can I use my 2FT in a GW. Confirm them. Then use my Free Hit?

No your team will revert. Transfers be cancelled.

No, all transfers made that GW are cancelled by the free hit.

Damn. I rarely have 2FTs, so have never been in this position. It's such a harsh rule in a way.

CSF · 01-01-2021 5:02pm

Will Salah drop in GW18 I wonder? You’d imagine maybe not with all the Free Hits in play.

I took him out this week while I decide whether to bring him back in 19 as a transfer or as part of a free hit, but obviously recouping one of the .1s I lost in doing so would be a nice reward.

Shedite27 · 02-01-2021 12:39pm

I realise it’s completely template but I haven’t made a midfield transfer since GW5 now

Salah, Son, Bruno, Grealish (Soucek)

No inclination to transfer any of them either, must be the longest I’ve ever kept with a midfield

Why? More important things than our FF teams. If players are positive proper health measures need to be taken.

No, if players are waiting for test results, they should be isolating until they get results, not sitting in hotels waiting to go to matches etc which is what appears to be happening.

Do you think Fulham lads last week were all isolating up to 3 hours before the match and then going to meet up at the stadium to play the game if they were negative?

If they have symptoms then yes they should be isolating. If it’s the ‘regular’ tests they all have to take then I’d imagine they aren’t isolating, nor do they have to.

Jim Gazebo · 02-01-2021 2:59pm

Are son and kane now exclusive? I mean I have son, but do you need both? DCL not firing so I'll likely move back premium up front now too as I've dropped KDB for a while and ATM it's either martial, kane or vardy.
