Free Hit Game Week 18

[Hogmeister]

With the Villa game off, bringing Saka in for Grealish seems no-brainer. And frees up more cash too. Currently on...

Leno (4.0)
Cancelo, Dias, Reguilon (Fernandez, Mitchell)
KdB, Bruno, Rashford, Son, Saka
Kane, Wilson (Brewster)

[Ruth_NZ]

I seem to be the only one here taking Walker. Perhaps someone will tell me whether or not I'm an idiot.

You think Walker will play? Doesn't look surefire to me.

[RuudTheDudeVanTheMan]

Yeah Dias and Stones are guaranteed to start and are cheaper. I reckon Zinchenko starts as well.

[hooked]

I'm pretty settled on 433, particularly after the Darlow uncertainty.
My main decision was Lacazette or Rashford; went with Lacazette as feel two united attackers against Burnley is too much.

DDG (4.0)
Cancelo Stones Dier Tierney (3.8)
Fernandes KDB Son (Smith-Rowe, Burke)
Lacazette Kane(C) Wilson

[FranckKessie]

Who would you prefer:

A. Stones, AWB(Shaw) and Smith-Rowe
B. Gundogan,Shaw and Holding

?

[carver]

4-3-3
De gea
Tierney Dias Stones Dier
KDB(C) Penandes Son
Kane Laca Wilson
Bench
Sanchez ESR Mitchell Gordon

Main gambles are no Rashford (Burnley can be tight , prefers others and spreading cash) and no Cancelo (he must be due a bench , Walker back)

Also might be a bit super caution but have playing sub keeper and a fairly deep outfield bench , because there are 38 new covid cases .

[Hix Hoorit]

Saka, Dier (bench Lowton) or Neto, Ben Davies (bench Mitchell)?

Currently at:
Leno
Dier-Dias-Stones
Rashford-De Bruyne-Son-Fernandes (C) - Saka
Wilson - Kane

[Sutter Kane]

My current team: 0.0mn
Lloris
Maguire, Tierney, Cancelo, Dias
Saka, Son, KDB, Bruno
Kane, Lacazette

Bench: 4mn GK, Brewster, Ampadu, Burke

Worried about Wilson. I can do Brewster to Wilson if I drop Maguire to Mitchell and Lloris to Darlow. Then a 3-4-3 but no Spurs defence, an uninspiring 'save shy' De Gea in goal...but Wilson instead of Maguire. It's close. Newcastle and Sheff are both so truly awful, it's tough to call.

Edit: De Gea? I can't afford him, even if he is save shy

[Nailer6245]

Two questions emerging from lots of these similar drafts I think.

(A) Rashford or Lacazette? A lot of teams have a similar front seven, with the main difference being a choice between these two. Very easy to drop Rashford for a bench player, upgrading the 4.5m striker to Lacazette (and leaving some money ITB for other upgrades too). I'm going for the former, especially as a United fan watching the game later, but it's marginal.

(B) Wilson or an additional defender? Most have three at the back and Wilson up front. But it's easy enough to drop Wilson to a 4.5m, and then add your choice of any extra fourth defender. I think I'll keep Wilson, but I wonder do some of the defs I don't have (Tierney, Maguire, AWB) have a higher EV?

[carver]

Rashford/Lacazette
Both good picks . Gone Lacazette because I think fixture is better . One could heavily outscore the other and it’s a bit of fortune involved here .

Re: Wilson. I’ve gone for him although Newcastle seem fairly unambitious especially away from home . Is on pens though and if he got a 10 pointer you wouldn’t be surprised and would be a bit gutted if you left him out .

[cymbalrush84]

£19.9m on a GK, two defenders and a midfielder.

Not sure who to pick for Citeh as rotation can just screw the plans up, so trying for most likely to start.

Suggestions?

One plus of playing the FH is I don't have to second guess transfers this week with what's going to happen over the next couple of weeks.

[Sutter Kane]

Why is Trent in there?

[MPTree]

I seem to be the only one here taking Walker. Perhaps someone will tell me whether or not I'm an idiot.

This is the comment I was after, thank you. Yes, I had presumed he would. Am now reconsidering.

[cymbalrush84]

Why is Trent in there?

As per my league rules, only allowed one player in throughout the season unless he leaves.

Douglas, Saka, Cancelo, Darlow.

I think you'll have to play Brewster. Alternatively you could go Ramsdale and take a punt on Kilman starting instead of Douglas.

Or get Saiss over Cancelo and have a little bit more cash to push into that Douglas spot.

[Sutter Kane]

Or Stones, even better.

[RomynPG]

Currently hovering over the button with

Lloris (4.0)
Cancelo, AWB, Holding, (Kilman, Mitchell)
KDB, Bruno, Son, Saka, Gündogan
Kane, Lacazette, (Brewster)

Can do better without KDB but I'm chicken

[MPTree]

Quite right, too. I wouldn't want to get too fancy with my picks this week.

I'm thinking of taking Yedlin for the B1 spot. Anyone considered, discarded, or got him?

[SirMattBugsby]

Tierney + wan Bissaka or Saiss + Wilson? I'd normally choose the former but the latter looks better for 1 GW..

Also, thoughts on Zaha? Another explosive option not being considered much.

[JackJJ]

Haven't seen anything on Foden. Is it the rotation risk that puts people off as feel he could do really well? Just debating him or Wilson, fairly set on the rest I think.

The money isn't the same. Second option is 1mn more - the second option is better imo.

I think I'd pick Saiss over Wan Bissaka for one week so then it's Wilson vs Tierney which is very tough to call. I'd really want Tierney though - Bar Cancelo I think he's my number one defensive pick, after watching his attacking masterclass in the FA Cup.

[Sutter Kane]

Yes the rotation risk. If he was sure to start, he'd 100% be in my team.

[jacksosi]

Here's where I am currently, a full 15 (Mitchell slightly questionable) in case of players missing out

Is Jesus worth fitting in instead of the Gundog though
Cancelo is my choice of the City DEF, only played 45 mins in the FAC so should presumably start, and is due a haul.
De Gea + Dier in as cheaper than Lloris + AWB
Don't like benching Saka, but a great first sub if anyone misses out

[Hogmeister]

Having looked at what FFHub is saying, I think I (just) prefer Lloris and Tierney over Leno and Reguilon, so team now looks like this...

Lloris (4.0)
Cancelo, Dias, Tierney (Fernandez, Mitchell)
KdB(c), Bruno, Rashford, Son, Saka
Kane(vc), Wilson (Brewster)

I like the fact that all three subs could potentially contribute something if there is further disruption due to Covid/injuries/whatever.

As Arsenal fan i would go with rashford cause i know palace has been a boggy team over the years so i considering it a 50/50 game
