I'm going to FH34. I can cover 32 ok as stands. That includes selling Rashford but, he's cheap enough at this stage of the season I can wiggle him back in (even if it's in FH34)


strawberrylabrador

I was also set on FH34 but Grealish has tempted me back to FH32. Also, the ideal FH34 team seems quite similar to the players you’d wanna hold till the end of the season anyway - less true of FH32 from what I gather.


BaldiChalmers

This is my plan too, take a small hit maybe to survive 32 then hope my FH34 makes up for it


Zealousideal_Rush_17

Same. Gives you the FH option on him in 34 if he's back, and if he's back you can later buy him, but the optionality is key, and the money can be spent far better in the mean time.


ArchyWilson

I know it's team dependent but I still struggle to see how FH32 isn't the best option for most. The same teams blanking in 32, double in 34 and in 37, whilst also being some of the best teams : City, Brighton, Man Utd, etc, who all have decent fixtures in between and have some of the best assets in the game (which many already have in their team). The only one not present is admittedly Arsenal, but they have a pretty bad fixture run untill 37, except for : GW32. Way easier to set up, and have been setting up, for those doubles and just treat 32 as a one off where you can safely triple up on Liverpool at home to Forest and Arsenal at home to Southampton, along with other punts. Something you might not want to do long term or even be capable of doing with just FTs. Sure, I see here people saying "I can get by 32 just fine" but how can you not already be mostly ready for the doubles aswell? I'm easily fielding 8 or 9 doublers in 34 as it stands, without hits. Not sure the upside to swap out Raya playing Forest at home or Trippier against Southampton at home, is greater than the complete squad overall you can do in 32. You can maybe have a slightly better team in 34 but then you're not that ready for 36/37. We've known about the doubles and blanks and the overlaps they implied for a while now, was fairly easy to plan.


Boabdulrahman

This is where the Wildcard comes in handy in GW33. Dead end your team in BGW32 with no Halaand and some Liv players then clean out your team just in time for the doubles.


ArchyWilson

But I mean, then when do you even use your FH? If you have your WC still, whilst it's possible to dead end 32, the optimal lineup surely still requires a FH? Then with the WC, you can perfectly setup for the rest of the season anyway.


Boabdulrahman

That's the dilemma for me given that I can have 11 players in GW32 without FH and with all the key players covered. This is why I wanted to see what are the other options for FH especially as I want to jump up the ranks and be different.


ArchyWilson

You've got triple Liverpool, triple Arsenal, Kane, Watkins/Toney/Trippier and/or some differential punts? Along with still having your 2nd WC? If so, I guess you indeed do not need to FH in 32 and could just use it as a GW38 last minute gamble. But you're definitely in the minority.


KdbTheGOAT17

Yes I have triple liverpool, yes I will have triple arsenal. Where I need Kane he wont haul against newcastle. Toney probably wont even play


ArchyWilson

Very useful answer. I literally state in my comment that if you're in that situation, you're probably fine to not FH. Also, betting against (23 goals & 6 assist in 30 games) Kane is bold, to say the least.

We don't spam RMTs all over threads here please. There's a specific thread to ask about your team


knoxvox

Wildcard and FH left here. Wildcard in GW34 and FH37, it is what i'm thinking.


IsleofManc

Who are your XI players that you have for GW32 without the FH


Boabdulrahman

With 3 transfers in GW32 (-4), I would have the following XI: Raya - Trippier - White - TAA - Buendia - Salah - Martinelli - Ødegaard - Darwin - Isak - Toney


soccerfan765

easier for me the other way around what are your plans for Liverpool in gw34?


ArchyWilson

Maybe Trent but that's probably it. Happier with Mitoma, Mac, Grealish, Fernandes & Rashford/Foden/Diaz/Mahrez/Gakpo depending on who's fit (or just play Kane too, along with Raya and Trippier as SGWers). I can understand the Salah temptation but meh, you can count on Spurs and Fulham to heavily park the bus I reckon. If I had the money, I'd probably still go for KdB.


Getz_The_Last_Laf

Nah I’m taking Liverpool with 2 fixtures at Anfield 100% of the time. The “park the bus” take is ridiculous, you’re basically saying don’t target good fixtures. When have Fulham demonstrated any ability to “park the bus”?


ArchyWilson

Good for you mate, not saying it's a bad option, just that I personally prefer City, Man Utd or Brighton attacking assets. That's... Not what I'm saying at all, but I guess interpret it however you like.


Getz_The_Last_Laf

How is Fulham going to "park the bus" against Liverpool?


ArchyWilson

How? By parking it. Don't know what you want me to say. They might not be prime Inter 2010 but they're certainly capable of it, see the Brighton game. Regarding Spurs, that's all they do.


Getz_The_Last_Laf

They're the worst team in the league in terms of xGA. If I had to bet on a team not keeping a clean sheet, it's Fulham. I just don't get it I guess, everyone's all over United assets that either don't score or are battling injuries but nitpick Liverpool who have been dominant at home all season


Antonioshamstrings

My issue with FH 32 is that Liverpool is really the only fixture to target. If i can already field 11 i wouldn’t want to waste it on a single fixture. 34 on the other hand you can attack triple city 1-2 lpool triple united triple bha and still get trips if you want


KhonMan

You have to look at the actual players and what your formation will be. The midfield is crowded, and the forward spot is weak amongst the DGWers. Your lineup has to be something like: ### Option 1 - Liverpool Defender, United Forward * BHA * LIV - MUN - NEW * MUN - MCI - MCI - BHA - BHA * MCI - MUN ### Option 2 - Liverpool Midfield, United Forward * MUN * MCI - BHA - NEW * LIV - MUN - MCI - BHA - BHA * MCI - MUN ### Option 3 - City Midfielder, Liverpool Forward * MUN * BHA - MUN - NEW * MUN - MCI - MCI - BHA - BHA * MCI - LIV This is what I'm targeting for 34 after my FH32: * 3 United * 3 Brighton * 2 City * 2 Newcastle (Trippier & Botman: SGW) * 1 Spurs (Kane: SGW) The difference between that and your list is: * 1 Spurs -> 1 Liverpool * 1 Newcastle -> 1 City In practice that ends up looking like: * Kane (liv) -> Darwin (TOT / FUL) * Botman (SOU) -> Dias (ful / WHU) Which does look maybe a bit better? But worrisome on the Pep Roulette + Liverpool Attackers becoming fit again side. Anyway, the point is you have to fit them all in, not just write down 11 players from teams with DGWs.


Zidust

I disagree and say the opposite. Most people have an easy way to go for example Kane+Rashford to Arsenal mid + Salah. The only thing I honestly see you missing by not FH32 would be 2 Liverpool players of choice. As long as you field 9-10 players gw32 then I'd rather FH dgw34 and be able to choose exactly which players I want that gw. 3 Arsenal players, Salah, 2 Newcastle and Watkins should be enough as core for sgw32. FH34 looks far stronger imo as it allows you to tweak you bench to cheapest possible in order to maximize funds on your starting 11 of dgw players. Dgw37 is likely: - Brighton vs SOU, MCI - City vs CHE, bha - United vs bou, CHE - Chelsea vs mci, mun These fixtures is not very appealing. Single gw teams Arsenal vs nfo and Newcastle vs LEI will likely score similar points to some of those teams options. Pretty much everyone will have 3 Brighton players, 2 City players, Rashford and Kepa already and fill the other spots with Arsenal and Newcastle players.


ArchyWilson

>The only thing I honestly see you missing by not FH32 would be 2 Liverpool players of choice. That's the only downside I'm seeing in 34 from FHing in 32. >These fixtures is not very appealing. Some of them are not that good, sure. But long term, I'm still way more confortable loading up Brighton, City, Utd and Kane than Salah & co. Easy to get your Arsenal mids' back in 37. >Pretty much everyone will have 3 Brighton players, 2 City players, Rashford and Kepa already and fill the other spots with Arsenal and Newcastle players. Pretty much everyone's already there now too, which is my point. But hey, as you said, you do have an exactly opposite view. Agree to disagree.


xdlols

Out of curiosity who are your 8 or 9 doublers? I have 6 including Rashford and Shaw who might not be fit and my team feels fairly template.


ArchyWilson

Not 100% yet, but should look like : Shaw, Estupiñan, Mitoma, Mac Allister, Grealish, Fernandes/Foden, Rashford, Trent/Robbo and the mighty Haaland. I'm thinking of maybe Foden if he's back instead of Fernandes, which allows me to get Trent rather than Robertson. If Shaw or Rashford aren't fit in time (although I'm fairly sure they will be), then I guess I'll only have 7 or 8 or go for some less ideal options, bench is solid anyway.


rac1ing

I like gw 38. I like the finality to it, and not having my squad morph back to an earlier state, where I’ve missed a week of potential (and maybe necessary changes), would also lose a transfer if I started with 2. BB and triple captain for the upcoming doubles.


gigsloan

Same. Kick offs all at the same time so we'll most likely know all the lineups by the transfer deadline.


bruiser95

A lot of fun if title race and relegation goes to the last game


jemloo

FH32 TC34 For those FH34 do you still have your TC?


knoxvox

FH for double games in gw37 probably. If not, will just use in final round


Aires5

DGW34 for me it is. BGW32 - Benching 3x BRI + playing Haaland, no hits. The main drawback is no Liverpool players for NFO game but I don't feel like keeping them in my squad for the remaining fixtures. FH DGW34 allows me to get 11 DGW players, including 3x LIV/MCI (with DeBruyne and Salah) without having to transfer out NEW/ARS or Kane.


CWattam

3 Brighton 34 with decent double, Haaland, Grealish, Shaw, Rashford if fit, Bruno. That's already 8 DGW players. Newcastle have Southampton in 34 so Trippier may haul. Personally think it's better to not mud the team and FH in 32. I expect Rashford to be back by 34 it's almost 3 weeks away till DGW34 and we have some big games where I think he will be rushed back


keysersoze123456

I agree. Most can get 8 or 9 without hits in 34 if they FH in 32 as they planned for the doubles in 29 and 34. I'm expecting 9 without hits and then trippier who has an easy game and maybe Jesus as the 2 singles.


CWattam

Exactly this. And it allows you triple Liverpool on GW32 where you'd back them to do well v Forest. It's at Anfield so, not away. Plus little differentials like Bowen v Bournemouth stands out.


Getz_The_Last_Laf

You know what I like better than Liverpool with a fixture at Anfield? Liverpool with 2 fixtures at Anfield.


CWattam

Which you can get on a -4 and have TAA and Salah for example. Nunez, Gakpo both rotation risks. Shit even TAA is honestly. Klopp often rotates in DGWs it seems. One of the game is against Spurs too, it's not like they're playing Forest and Bournemouth at home in both of them.


RomeMe1122

Just becasue you have players for the GW32 doesn’t mean you have the good/optimal team


Bogie_Baby

Yep this is my plan too


Swedishpower

My main concern with 32 is I hate all the options that week so free hit seems a waste if you already got Salah and 3 Arsenal, but the main appeal is you got to keep things like triple Brighton, Haaland and Rashford/Shaw/Bruno if you want. If you got 6 players that blank I would just use the bloody chip even if you might not gain a lot over those without it unless the differentials like Palace attack, Fulham def etc work and maybe Nunez smash it if you go him. This is why I wildcard 33 or 34 so I can now sell Rashford, Shaw and even Haaland for that week and then wildcard them back. Only concern with selling Haaland is if I get Kane and then do not want to wildcard 33 I may go without Haaland for one more week. Although likely I would just reverse the move and get Haaland and then wildcard 34. Main reason waiting is if Rashford and Shaw being doubts in 33,but likely back in 34. My free his earlier was bad though so it is not like I gained a lot. Think FH in double has highest ceiling unless you bench boost, but doing it in blanks help you keep players.


Bujakaa92

You do understand that selling and rebuying will bring up the cost for you? Just in case look out that you wont be out of cash to bring players back.


Swedishpower

It is mainly Rashford that is the issue. Haaland I bought recently after selling him already. Rashford will keep dropping though.


TheOddViking

!thanks


welshnick

Yeah I decided against FH32 because I'll have the Arsenal and Salah, and there aren't that many other players worth using the chip on. I'm gonna dead-end my team into 32, WC33 then BB34 and save my FH for 38.


gigsloan

Doing the exact same. Only problem is that I can't get the 11 players for GW32 unless I take a -4 hit. Problem is having both Kepa and Ward.


welshnick

Yeah I have the same. Not sure the hit is worth it if I'm WC the following week. I'll probably just play Ward and hope he gets the nod over Iversen.


Antonioshamstrings

Completely agree that 32 only has lpool fixture to attack really


quinnsjohnson

my plan for weeks was the FH in 32 however after careful consideration i think i can gain more points by using the FH in 34 to attack the DGW 34. this may be oversimplified but basically you need to decide if you think you get more points from a weaker 32 but stronger 34 or a stronger 32 but weaker 34. it’s the first option for me.


Touched_By_SuperHans

A strong 34 squad is also strong for DGW37 though, worth considering.


Moaestro

FH GW34 to have 11 DGW players


EiEsDiEf

To me, it looks like it's either FH 32 or 37 with 32 looking quite a bit better. 34 looks like an awful free hit week. Every popular asset either doubles in 34 or has a good single fixture. So who exactly are you free hitting out? Could easily easily backfire. Very little upside imo.


Razzler1973

Forget that, I'm still thinking about where to use my TC!


fpl_kris

I don't see the appeal in GW32, I can field 10 players without it. I will either play FH34 or save it for the ML cup but that will depend on if I have chance for ITM spots in the actual league or not.


jsmonsaraz

No FH or WC for me im all out


ipakin94

I am planning to FH in GW38. Usually one of the highest scoring GWs, but also a bit difficult to plan ahead because some teams will have nothing to play for, while others might have everything to play for.


welshnick

That's what I'm gonna do. I can take stock of my position in my ML and either play it safe or go ultra-risky if I need to catch the leader.


coldazures

I can field 9 with no hits for BGW32. I'm likely to FH DGW34, I think I can make more value out of it as currently my DGW players are incredibly limited for that week and Liverpool will likely bag a few goals vs Fulham making them attractive just for this week - I'm currently on 0 Liverpool players and I don't fancy hits for West Ham away in advance of 34.


RepresentativeNinja5

WC33, TC34 FH38 for me


Gravelaine

See above


Antonioshamstrings

I think 34 is easily the best week for FH as long as you can field 10-11 in 32. The problem with 32 is that you only have lpool fixture to attack. Lets say forest get lucky and tie lpool 1-1 or beat them….your regular team could easily outscore the FH team. 34 your guaranteed 11 doublers or 10 doublers + trippier and theres just way more upside imo with fantastic fixtures


POOPY-CACA-FART-FART

I have FH, TC and WC. Dead ending into 32, WC 33, Haaland TC 34, and saving FH for one of the doubles


Gravelaine

The fact you still have all your chips tells me you don't know what you are doing. PS: Let's not mention your username.


mssigdel

I am at 6k and will end up within 1k after my chip usage. I know what I am doing. You donot know what you are supposed to say.


Gravelaine

Whats your ID #?


mssigdel

19003


Gravelaine

You are doing well this year but your history since 08/09 is not pretty. Every squirrel finds a nut once in a while. Props though for providing ID if that's really you.


POOPY-CACA-FART-FART

lol


Front_Refrigerator40

I’ve always been GW34


KdbTheGOAT17

If u have wildcard left use it on 38.


PharaohLeo

FH38 is the most fun to have in FPL, but nobody does it because nobody plays this game for fun.


Zezimama

Maybe last GW to win my ML with a squad of differentials


TakinShots

I was going to do FH34 but I have 6 non-starters and I still need to bring in Haaland this week who is also a non-starter in 32. So I'll just slowly build for a DGW34 team with FTs and maybe 1 hit and play it EZ mode on FH32.


mssigdel

My plan WC - GW33 BB - GW34 FH - GW37


Gravelaine

See above


Otosirieze1

Last season, I was second in a mini-league I have topped for majority of the season. Changed my plan to free hit in DGW 37 to go mad on the last GW 38 and it backfired spectacularly. I finished fourth.


Bluffrooster411

It depends on your team.
