[Archy]

Have just hit the button on the GW34 Free Hit

First attempt at draft team is:

De Gea
Alonso Christensen Smalling
Hazard Mahrez Eriksen Gross
Kane (c) Vardy Barnes

£0.3m ITB.

Have I missed anything anywhere, and how are other teams looking?

[Curwinkle]

My first draft

Schmeichel
Maguire Christensen Smalling
Willian Son Alli Mahrez
Lukaku Kane Barnes

I have 0.4 in the bank too. Would prefer to find another half mil from somewhere to get DDG

Any chance of lukaku rising tonight? I have the exact funds to do Auba to Kak but want to make sure he comes out of the City game unscathed

Next to no chance.

At the moment, it's doubtful that he will rise tonight. Of course, this may change if he scores one or two against City tonight.

Slightly confused about this myself... What happens after you've effected the FH - you can still change about players presumably during the week and you get them at the price they are currently? What if you say remove Salah but then decide to put him back in? He goes back in at what price?

Cheers

[Joccki_10]

Sánchez and Lukaku.

[Smurphy Paw]

Sánchez and Lukaku.

On a wildcard you have to repurchase at the new price. I believe Free Hit to be the same

Right, that's interesting... Thanks...

My first non-Salah draft looks like:

De Gea
Christensen, Lowton, Morgan
Sanchez, Mahrez, Alli, Willian
Kane, Lukaku, Barnes

Bench: absolute dross!

One interesting player could well be Kevin Long at 4.0 if Mee remains injured for the next 2 fixtures.

[dabezzz]

De Gea
Vertonghen Christensen Lowton
Willian Mahrez Lingard Eriksen
Lukaku Kane Vardy

Bench: Crap

[Newbie]

It free hitting here, I have TC and FH left.

TC week 34 as I think there may be less chance of rotation. FH in Gameweek 37.

I’ll have 8 with double games in 34. Will take my chances.

Next time put "your team" in the title to stop people from randomly commenting about how they'll use FH at another time. It doesn't contribute anything toward those using the FH this week and just clutters the thread with posts like the above

OT: A team I'm considering...

Schmeichel
Lowton Tarkowski Morgan
Sanchez Eriksen Alli Pogba
Kane Lukaku Barnes

It's top heavy but I don't think the DGWers will keep many cleansheets...

[BobMem]

I've just put draft 1 together.

DDG
Tarkowski Lowton Simpson
Willian Eriksen Mahrez Pogba
Lukaku Kane Vardy

Cork as only playing bencher, + 2 x 3.9s

I see some big defenders above, but I like the Dolly, especially those 3 up front.

Does Simpson look like he's the no. 1 choice these days?

[sdhough]

Just started looking at this, sure they'll be plenty of tinkering this week

DDG
Alonso Christensen Morgan
Pogba Eriksen Willian Gross
Lukaku Vardy Kane

Subs: Maenpaa Long Hunemeier Cook

[Klaren]

1st draft is as follows:

DDG
Alonso Lowton Morgan
Hazard Sanchez Pogba Willian
Vardy Kane Barnes

Captain would likely be Sanchez. However currently undecided between Lukaku and Sanchez (might replace Sanchez and Vardy with Mahrez and Lukaku), in which case captain would be Lukaku.

[Smurphy Paw]

Currently on this with £2.3m in the bank. One or two are in there to guard against price rises (both keepers for example)
What are the weaknesses?
Thanks

Sorry but Alli is due a red card and it could be against city.

[SteveieB123]

Currently on this.

Looking at the above it seems to be fairly template with the exception of the Chelsea triple block. Assuming this would be the biggest concern?

[SteveieB123]

Version 2. Not that dissimilar. Would be a 352 formation. Am edging more toward version 1 at the moment...

He seems to be but he was subbed yesterday at 56 minutes for reasons that I don't know. I'd definitely find 0.1 for Morgan myself, seems much more secure

[Terry Henry]

Can't decide whether to go with Lukaku or not. Will see how Hazard gets on today but currently it's this:

Schmeichel
Alonso Smalling Tarkowski
Eriksen Pogba Willian Gross
Kane Lukaku Vardy

[Smurphy Paw]

Stevie, I have a couple of drafts with Chelsea triple block. I was trying to find a way of getting in DDG rather than Smalling and the other options (apart from Chilwell) are not that exciting.
One way to look at it is that I f we’re confident enough to put two players in, three could work. The usual principle of spreading risk is still a consideration, but in a DGW that risk is spread by having two games. One clean sheet x3 would probably be a fair return for a 3-Man defence over two games. Two shut-outs a real game changer.
(None: well that’s the risk)

I didn’t really focus on it yet, but my initial observation about your front 8 is about Groß. Even in draft 2 I think you’re still on a 343 and would want to find ANOther rather than him. This is having been burned by him earlier in the season when he was in form coupled with him not consistently producing more than 2-point returns in 2018 (only 3 returns since then).

Edit: Are you free hitting or bench boosting? You seem to have money left on the bench across all positions when that will not be necessary

Thanks ONZ, that’s helpful

[bigcliff2]

What are people thinking re Salah? I reckon he'll be fit for Tuesday and I don't see Liverpool playing a weakened side against Bournemouth.

[swadd1er]

Currently on:

Schmeichel
Tarkowski, Lowton, Christiensen,
Pogba, Eriksen, Mahrez, Willian
Kane, Vardy, Lukaku

Non playing bench apart from Stephens as most FH’ers will have

Thanks Smurphy, your points on the back 3 block are appreciated and understood. Wanted 3 Chelsea but Willian is very much a 16 or 2 point player and was my only other consideration so at the moment it's in.

I'm free hitting this week. Bench boost is 37.

Regarding Groß he's in for a 3 fold reasoning. 1. To cover the guy second in my league. 2. There is nobody else that I fancy at that price without altering the dynamic of my squad (Lingaard - triple united already) and 3. If Brighton do anything, he'll be the most likely to create or finish.

Always happy for constructive break down of the selection.

I was keeping him. Then he got injured. Then I decided to sell
You’re right, he may be fine and would presumably play. However the risk of a no-show has increased from this time last week and I decided that it was a lot of money to be sitting there potentially unused.



I won’t dare watch the Liverpool game if he does play though!
