KDB was supposedly too tired to take the pen

He looked wrecked from about 70 min.

It would have been a lot worse had he taken and missed it though, as then that would have been 2 misses for season etc... at least now we know he should be taking the next one.

No guarantees he has the next one

A lot of free hitters sound disappointed with points tally. But given that everyone would have more or less the same team, playing the FH was all about not losing ground by not playing it.

howareyakid

39 with Tierney, Saka and Auba to go. Would be buzzing if Auba can come through with a haul!

48 with Tierney and saka to go on wildcard. Happy with that as kept pace with the free hitters but am now well set up for next week. Currently have 11( will be 9 if villa is cancelled)with a double with kane, son, Tierney and saka. Hope to BB but will see what happens between now and Saturday.

Talk that Villa V Everton will be off but that Villa v Newcastle rescheduled in GW19

As a grealish and Martinez owner it would be epic

Ye id be delighted with it. I really want to get the BB out of the way.

FH , 47 with Saka & Leno to go . HEWT

Newbie20

Didn’t have the free hit left because I stupidly wasted it earlier in the season.
45 (-4) with Leno to play. I’ll take that all day despite the fact it could have been so much better with Son and KDB.

Scorpion Sting

40 with Auba, Saka and Leno to go.

Up to 63k in the rankings.

CSF

I actually checked the Free Hit team I was planning to go with before Spurs got paired with Fulham and it would currently be on 35 with Tierney, Saka and Laca to go, so I’m very much delighted about that Spurs game being rearranged to save me from it.

Let’s say Tierney and Holding both got 6 and Zaha even only gets me 2, I’d be needing from 7 from Saka and Lacazette just to break even on what I am now, and you’d think the threshold for gains on a Free Hit has to be at least 20 to make it worthwhile?

No guarantee they don’t get 27 tomorrow night and Tierney could add some attacking returns to it, but eh they’d be doing very well to do so.

Rikand

43 with Laca, Saka and Tierney to go.

50 from 9 off wildcard with Saka and Holding to play.

Well done on the WC.

I couldn’t pull the trigger with all the doubts on upcoming fixtures. I also didn’t have the time needed to put into it.

I see Busts played it too and did well and may well have a DGW for Villa as they could now be playing Newcastle instead of Everton.

What squad did you guys end up with for next weeks BB ?

Jim Gazebo

In from work, had a time to have a little play Mon morning so added son and kane. On 38 with saka and Tierney to go. Ampadu on bench with 9 points :O

Would have had 6 points from my actual team so I'll take that.

Mr.Nice Guy

56 from my FH team with Smith-Rowe to come. Very happy with that. Captain Kane, double City defence, Ramsdale, KDB, and Rashford the heroes. McGoldrick and Saiss the main let-downs with 1-pointers.

dr.kenneth noisewater

47 with Saka, Lacca and Tierney to go. Nice jump up to 120k. Hopefully break into the top 100k soon

Cartman78

An underwhelming 39 on FH with Tierney and Lacazette to go....would have been 30 all out with my regular team

56 from FH with Leno left to go. Making good ground on league leader who seemed to miss the deadline.

Very fair point, I was disappointed with my FH (gaining 18 points) but in hindsight, I had no option (only fielding 6 players) and still have 3 to play tonight.

As you say, was about not losing ground but I still manage to gain 18k.

Up to 124k OR, hopefully another rise tonight with Tierney, Saka, Laca.

begbysback

Have to say this game week has been sweet, having robbo and Chelsea defenders I’d forgotten what a clean sheet looked like, no disappointment at salah missing 5 or 6 shots, ok kdb and Bruno still returning below par but overall has been good. Goddamn shame when FH is gone, original team is now a shambles with red and yellow for half the team.

markc91

Currently on 36 from FH with leno and Tierney to go. Would have gotten 25 from regular side. Main gripe being sterling captain instead of kane and Maguires header being ruled out for a shaw assist. 7 points behind in the cup he only has ESR left so hoping for a dull 0-0 tonight

Fitz*

Currently on 18 (-4) from 6. Sterling captain was horrific.

Need a monster score from Saka and/or Lacazette tonight to try and reclaim anything.

Dice75

Happy enough keeping FH in my pocket and 34 with Leno & Auba to go tonight.

Dr. Bre

38 . Wasted the free hit . Should have saved it for the double gameweek

Kiith

47 points, but didn't use my FH or wildcard, so happy enough with that.

CornettoQueen

44 with FH. Leno, Tierney and Smith Rowe to play. My original team only had 3 players, would have scored a total of 14 points.

onrail

30 with Holding and Mitchell (hopefully) to play.

Believe it or not, I'm not too pissed off with that. Decided last minute to keep all my chips in the bag but through to the next round in the cup and fell from 40k to 60k overall and a place in a couple of mini-leagues, but it could've been far worse.

Ony pending disaster would be a high scoring game tonight...

gormdubhgorm

Anyone on here lower than 26 points all out?

Lemlin

42 with Laca & Tierney to go.

Shaw laughing from my bench with 7 when I played Fernandez who got 2.

Fernandez was on for bonus for a long while as well, must be even more annoying.
