    I'm very similar to you, 3 DGWer's.

    On a good buzz at the moment after Bowen and want to maybe drive it on now and use my FH (have 2 FH's) and the template team I done earlier is near identical to the above. It's a pure punt with a Leicester asset's, if they pick up injuries at weekend, will their game with Spurs even go ahead? And then we have the out of form Ronaldo.

    But I feel we could have a DGW / TGW in 23 and might need the 2nd FH for BGW 27 also.

    I nearly want someone to make up my mind.....

    It depends on how strong your normal team is. I'd be subbing out the likes of TAA, Cancelo, Foden, Jota, Bowen, DCL and Antonio who are all on good form(bar DCL) and have good fixtures so I dont think it's worth it.

    Pressed the Free Hit Button so here goes:)……

    Currently on

    De Gea

    TAA Sanchez Alonso

    Lucas Moura,Jota,Maddison,Bowen

    Kane Ronaldo Dennis

    Subs- Sanchez Gordon,Cucurella,Dias.

    Concerns would be if TAA actually is fit to play?….if Ronaldo will be fit and perform well in both Utd games?…..and if Dennis will be fit to play both games?

    Toying with idea of going with Maupay rather than Ronaldo who has two tricky away games v Villa and Brentford.

    Maupay has both Crystal Palace and Chelsea at home who aren’t great defensively lately and he is in form.


    Appreciate anyones thoughts on my FH selection.


    If fit I will give Dennis the armband….could wreak havoc v Newcastle and Burnley,failing that I will go with Kane.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,520 ✭✭✭Dubh Geannain


    Of them I'd probably go Kane but any thinking on Daka?


    Only logging in for the first time since accidentally wildcarding instead of Free Hitting. I actually had my second best GW taking despite having 3 Evertonians yielding 3 points between them the Brentford keeper and couple of other not so helpful players. I was hoping to start to tidy up that mess this week but will have to sell Son.


    I got Son when he was 0.6m lower but needs must. Was considering Lookman but with Daka back so probably starting up front I think I'll go Maddison. I hope Son doesn't lose his 0.1 gain tonight as that will hit my sell on price. He doesn't look like dropping just yet but is heading that direction. Anyone want to make a call on if he'll drop tonight as I really want to hold transferring until tomorrow? Never mind, Maddison is going up tonight so I'll probably do that transfer later.


    Might consider then taking a -4 as part of the clean up effort or to try and take advantage of the DGW.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,497 ✭✭✭macraignil


    Have decided to use my first free hit this week since it seems worth while to fill up the team with double game week players to try make up for the red arrow in the game week just gone. Mostly just going for the scout selection players:


    De Gea,

    Alexander-Arnold, Rudiger, Emerson-Royal

    Maddison, Mount, Lucas Moura, Jota

    Ronaldo, Kane(c), Dennis


    Guaita, Alonso, Cucurella, Sissoko


    Kind of reluctant to give the armband to Kane but don't really trust Maddison or Ronaldo either so seems like the least worse option. Would be an easy decision to give the armband to Dennis if he had not been taken off early in the last game.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,497 ✭✭✭macraignil


    Do you think Daka being available will effect whether or not Tielemans is on penalties?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,733 ✭✭✭Cartman78


    Haven't a clue tbh....heard it on a podcast the other day that himself and Jorghino will be on pens and are both bonus points kings if they score.

    Is there an argument to be made for Lukaku over Kane/Ronaldo??



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08


    I see a lot of Jota in the FH teams.

    Id be reluctant to go with him for a SGW with both Salah & Mane out and there being plenty of other DGW options.


    Id contemplate Daka but the FH team of 3 forwards picks itself - Kane, Ronaldo, Dennis.

    My midfield is most likely going to be Moura, Tielemans, Maddison & Barnes.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,315 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    I'll DM you my FH team tomorrow, you copy it and that's your team for the GW. Made up your mind for you. 🤣



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,065 ✭✭✭✭eh i dunno


    Three Leicester mids not overkill? Think I'll get in Luke Thomas myself

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,065 ✭✭✭✭eh i dunno


    Free hit

    Sanchez steele

    Trent cucurella Thomas Emerson lowton

    Moura Madison jota Bowen gray

    Ronaldo Kane king

    Opinions?



  • Registered Users Posts: 153 ✭✭BackforFPL


    You're probably right on Jota. Especially after that lacklustre performance tonight. Think I'm gonna ditch him on the FH



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,672 ✭✭✭ElTel


    A bit bullish on Brighton D but hard to recommend alternative.

    I'd consider Trossard Alonso and Mount. DDG/Kepa perhaps

    I'm in the Dennis camp .



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08


    Will Alonso play the 2 games?

    Trossard not a bad shout.


    Is there a worry Arsenal - Spurs could get called off now as Arsenal don’t have many senior players left tonight after the injuries & red card. Basically 4 senior players on bench were defenders & 2 players went off injured & Xhaka will be suspended



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,672 ✭✭✭ElTel


    I haven't looked tbh. Waiting for info tomo. I assumed Alonso came on as a sub because I saw pictures of him shaking hands at full time midweek. That would bode well.

    Yeah updated covid news needed.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,685 ✭✭✭sheroman01


    Wondering if Kane is a better option than Ronaldo this gameweek?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,077 ✭✭✭shmeee



    That's it, I've TAA, Jota, Bowen, Antonio, Cancelo, Dias, Rudiger and even Maupay on a good day.... A FH team lets me have players I am never gonna want to hold! I'll sleep on it. Will be a last min FH, deadline tomorrow might catch a few out.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,938 ✭✭✭✭mailburner


    fg played

    de gea

    curarella sanchez lowton alonso

    moura maddison bowen

    ronnie kane dennis

    benched sanchez mbuemo tielemans rudiger tempted to switch in tielemans in favour of alonso


    It's now or never for captain kane given his great record v leic and how many injuries arse have along with just a 3 day rest

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,100 ✭✭✭whitelightrider


    Well thats it then. Wildcard played:

    Sanchez (Ramsdale) - Still not sure on this yet

    Johnson, White, TAA, Cancelo

    Moura, Maddison, Jota, Mount

    Dennis, Kane (C)



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08


    With Ronaldo a doubt & Arsenal / Spurs in doubt… I Genuinely don’t know who to captain!

    Can you cancel a Free Hit :)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,553 ✭✭✭✭Dempsey


    Earlier Salah to Son transfer backfired badly


    Son to Maddison

    Watkins to Kane for -4

    Not using free hit or wildcard on covid rabbit hole

    "Arsenal were forced to play 71 minutes with 10 men following Granit Xhaka’s red card, and he will now be suspended for the game against Tottenham.

    Cedric Soares and Bukayo Saka are injury doubts after limping off, while four other players are injured or out with Covid and four at the Africa Cup of Nations, meaning Arteta could be without 11 players for the trip across north London."

    Pity there is a game tonight - we could do with the extra time to make decisions



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,936 ✭✭✭AdpRo




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,936 ✭✭✭AdpRo


    Might leave the Burnley Watford game in doubt as well….there goes my only ever chance of captaining a Watford player!!



  • Registered Users Posts: 26 GymTanLaundry


    The postponement really destroys the thinking around Leicester and Watfird players to transfer in and captain. Wish there were a few more hours tomorrow too to have a think.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,164 ✭✭✭Cypher_sounds


    Less appealing to bring Maddison in now for Son.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,315 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    Reasons to use my FH now getting weaker.

    Burnley Watford probably going to be off.

    Too much of a bloody minefield this season, could really do with deadline being extended.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,193 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    Yeah I'm in the same boat.

    I made the very early transfer of Salah -> Son & was going to go again for a -4 to Maddison and maybe captain him.

    The options are getting smaller now. I could end up just keeping Son but a DGW player would be nice. Don't trust Bruno.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,077 ✭✭✭shmeee


    Same. I had 4 from Watford / Leicester in my FH template.

    2nd highest transferred in Mid this GW so far, Maddison at over half a million transfers in, ouchhhhh.

    Burnley v Watford surely won't go ahead only 3 days after postponed game tomorrow.

    Gonna switch off messing with a FH team etc until late this afternoon as who knows what else may be revealed and also press conferences to come.

    This season is a minefield!!! It's actually laughable at this stage.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,733 ✭✭✭Cartman78


    Ffs....this is a lottery now....the Premier League surely can't continue like this for much longer.

    Will be holding on my Free Hits now I think...way too much uncertainty at the minute



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,788 ✭✭✭Benimar


    I'm going to end up keeping Salah at this stage!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,733 ✭✭✭Cartman78


    Same.

    Big call now is Ronaldo or Kane?

    Will Spurs still have a double? Ronaldo still yellow flagged.... hopefully get some news today



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,077 ✭✭✭shmeee


    Egypt could be out fairly soon on what we saw already.... And what's another 2 weeks. Even transferring him out for some one is hard, like who? Pickings are very slim.



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08


    Can you cancel a Free Hit



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,077 ✭✭✭shmeee


    Sadly, no. Once confirmed it's locked in. I was 1 more player away from nearly doing it this morning.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,855 ✭✭✭crushproof


    You should all know by now to leave transfers and chips until the last hour before the deadline! I was hoping to use a FH but unlikely now



  • Advertisement
  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,520 ✭✭✭Dubh Geannain


    Which I did last night. Sigh.

    Although he is in good form i suppose and now I've got cash if I want to get Salah back easy enough or punt on Kane for a -4 this week.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,623 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    After the cancellations, I was half considering the idea of rolling the transfer this week. I've realised that this is actually a bad idea though, considering we seem to be only so many steps away from FH the following week, at any time at present.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,459 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    Ronaldo supposedly sent home from training with an injury. Would make Bruno more appealing, although I fancy Villa to beat them





  • Registered Users Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08


    I built my FH team on triple Leicester across the middle.

    Really don’t want to go the Chelsea route but I may be forced now with FH active



  • Registered Users Posts: 332 ✭✭trigger26


    Did the same!! Although he will have 4 postponed games to be played over next 17 weeks or so



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,314 ✭✭✭✭gammygils


    Bollox anyway! Transferred Maddison in for Son last night, also have Lowton

    Team in a shlte right now



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,054 ✭✭✭wanderer100


    Also did Son to Maddison last night... the game is brutal this season

    Was planning on captaining Dennis for the double but with the Burnley game in doubt now, I don't think it's as appealing versus just Newcastle who seem just as desperate as Watford to stay up. Might bring in Ronaldo for Watkins if Rangnick confirms he's available and stick the armband on him otherwise I might just stick with Bowen for captaincy



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,193 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    Madisson will still play 1 game, so it's not the worst thing. I know the DGW is a factor in deciding on that transfer alright though.


    The DGW does influence a lot. I'm debating whether to go Man Utd / Mount / Moura or a complete punt on Trossard.



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08


    It’s ridiculous at this stage with all the postponements - “not enough senior players”. There is a bucket load of 23s & academy players.

    A number of Covid cases should be put on it now otherwise you play the game

    I am tempted now to do Kane in for Ron. Maybe pulisic fir salah also
