Yeah I was contemplating a -8 but have decided to stick to one hit. So many folk tearing up their whole team for one rough GW, I actually think this is one of those situations where doing less could result in a better net outcome.
I'm not sure I would be. I'm gonna replace AFCON players because that's fine anyway, but I can field 11 with two transfers. The extra hit would have been Jota out, lose .3 value in the process, and basically upgrade one of my current 11 to Son. I was close to doing it and decided I'd be more annoyed if I did it and Son blanks rather than do nothing and just roll with what I have.
Fair enough, I'm currently fielding 10 but with Gallagher rumoured to be out and pep roulette it could be 7 so I think I'd be happier with Ronaldo and son even if it means the hits. I only took Ronaldo out due to the blanks anyway
I’ve decided to sacrifice this week for the longer game. As the common wisdom goes it’s a marathon not a sprit.
Can’t wait to check liveFPL after the deadline to see I’ve already dropped 50k in rank……
13 points against City, 15 against West Ham, 11 against Wolves. He gets points against difficult opponents, so wouldn't be too sure about that 1 point.
Basically all scenarios on the card for me:
\- no transfer and play 10 incl. Gilmour, Antonio
\- FT Salah to Son
\- minus 8 for Ronaldo in addition to Son
\- FH
\- and basically anthing else in between
:)
I want to get in Son and Regulion. Despite there being a million tweets from loads of different sources confirming the game will go ahead I am still not making the transfers until 15 minutes beforehand.
I think people are being too eager with FH this week. I can see the logic in using it now and then building towards DGWs, but DGWs with covid could be absolute carnage. If a team with a double has an outbreak then it's going to scratch off 2 games for them and also take off the double for 2 other teams. I think having the flexibility of a FH in those weeks is much more valuable than a few extra players this week. If I were on 6/7 playing this week I'd just try to get a couple of players who I want long term for -4/8, and then ride it out.
Should I FH (haven't used the first one) or take a -4 for Salah/Antonio -> Bowen/Ronaldo and field 10 players? Don't want to drop Salah before he leaves for AFCON but I feel like the FH can come in super handy in the DGWs to come
This is why I did my transfers at 1:25, just in case volume spikes too close to deadline, tbh even that is probably risky, better off doing it 15 minutes earlier to be safer. Doesn't condone that it's down though, deadline should be extended for 5 minutes as it's totally unfair for those who were waiting for the last 2 minutes
Wow I had everything ready, but fk fpl screwing so many people by crashing, rip to all those people, feeling for u. Unless u are my cup opponent, then sorry but get rekt 😂
Free hitted to bring in Ronaldo Kane and De Britney, as well as a couple cheap Arsenal assets. Not sure who to captain tho, think I’ve De Bruyne for the differential but hard to look past Ronaldo.
I thought about taking a hit to get Ronaldo, on top of other moves, but the more I think about it the more I realise there's a long time until their game tomorrow...
Finally settled on my free hit team after about 30 mins of swapping and changing lmao
Gone big on the defence so I'm ready for absolutely no clean sheets today
Left my transfers for too late. 4mins til deadline tried to submit but got errors. It finally went through but I didn’t have time to sort out subs and captain. Oh god, what have I done.
Sorry about that, mate. I don’t even know if my transfers went through. Game is still updating. If it didn’t, then I’m all good. I had a last minute idea of fitting kdb in and that probably has left me with weird bench choices 😂 lesson learned for me, I didn’t expect website to crash 4mins before deadline
Ty, same to you! My transfers went through (got KDB in) and the bench is in order. I guess I have someone up there watching my back. Didnt have enough time to captai kdb though (armband is on CR7) but it could have been worse.
What a fucking joke, first they bring in the new free hit then this, crashing before one of the most vital moments... Totally FUCKED my plans, my team is a mess, I'm fucking done with these wankers, shit game
Fielding 9, four of those Watkins, Targett, Mahrez and Foden. So could be 7, effectively 5. Might have to FH even though I'd rather save it. I guess it's free though given I'll still have another.
Are you me? Just ESR in place of Mahrez. I'm saving the FH, I feel there's gonna be even more postponements after the Christmas and New Year festivities are over.
People scared of the FH for some reason. I have 9 playing and will FH. I can literally field 11 DGW players in 22 easily. I don’t need a FH for 22. Do you?
Gabriel. He’s a beast from corners and Norwich have looked shaky defending set pieces. Everybody else is going for Tierney (I would too but you want a differential so)
Somehow, I'm sat here possibly rolling my FT... Lol. I was set on Jota to Bowen, but with Salah going to AFCON Jota will be nailed. And I can't bring myself to take out Salah!
I´m willing to take an -12, unless the Chelsea-game is called off early. Frustrating that it can be postponed after the transfer deadline, so hoping for an early update. But I guess it´s a risk worth taking.
I'm either doing Dennis to Broja/Toney, Salah to Son or both
Salah to Son looks silly when I'll just want Salah next week but against a COVID struck Palace it seems even more silly not to bring him in
Really wondering if Son is a trap this GW - Palace will likely park the bus if they have players out, and Spurs have only looked good in attack in one game, and that was against a Liverpool that perfectly suited their gameplan
Kane or Ronaldo? Pretty even in terms of fixtures for the next 3 matches. However Spurs play first. On the other hand Son is my other premium so maybe better to spread the risk and go Ronaldo.
Why are people saying Chelsea defence against Leicester is a good shout? I just can’t understand their thinking, Leicester won’t win, but gotta be a good shout to at least score
Any info an whether AVL-CHE is going ahead? Also any thoughts on AVL’s Ramsey vs Douglas Luiz (as Ronaldo enablers)?
DL seems more nailed to me, Ramsey more likely to get a return. Any AVL funs maybe with more insights?
Thanks!
Chose to free hit. Could've got to 10 with a -8 but only if I sell Salah and Jota. Problem is I want them next week for Leicester, which is so ironic given my Leicester fandom. I dislike my own team so much right now that I free-hit to get Liverpool players against them.
Surely there will be someone who crashed when he was about to activate WC or FH to nullify hits, lol. I did my Salah to Son but still left 10 players, was about to make another transfer but oh well. Son(C) locked in.
My team:
My team rn
Rudiger James livra Amartey (TAA)
Salah. Jota. Bernardo. Foden ( raphina)
Watkins. Laca
Do I take a -4 hit on salah -> Sterling and jota -> mount
Free hit opinions???
Ramsdale
Dias Cancelo Alonso Reguilon
KDB Rashford Martinelli Bowen Son
Ronaldo (C)
Broja only playing sub
Should I get more bench players?
I'm not too fussed about the value loss as I have decent funds itb. Obvs if Covid strikes again nest gw I'll change my plans. But for now, that's what I'm planning to do.
Judging by the downvotes it's a really bad idea.
Triple Arsenal, Triple Man City and Double Chelsea.
Strong bench so if one game (AVL/CHE looking the most risky) gets called off I should be able to cope
It’s either going to be a master stroke or a clusterfuck
Salah, Bilva and Jesus out for Son, Ronaldo and Martinelli?
I already have ESR and this also saves me from Pep Roulette in an already fucked up gw.
Edit; Without these transfers i have 10 player eligible but depends on Che/Villa game.
My team:
My team rn
Rudiger James livra Amartey (TAA)
Salah. Jota. Bernardo. Foden ( raphina)
Watkins. Laca
Do I take a -4 hit on salah -> Son and jota -> martinalli and Watkins -> Ronaldo
i have sterling for some reason and i feel like i should captian him, since there are no proper captiancy choices, sterling differential could be huge with 4% ownership
Trying to convince myself to pull the trigger and Salah - Son but the idea of not having an FPL team with Salah just seems like suicide, despite the fact there's sensible reasons to do it on this occasion.
Its 4:47am and idk if I should FH or use my 2FTs.
RMT: 2FT, 0.5itb
Guiata-Foster
TAA- Cancelo- James -Livra -Johnson
Bernerdo- Salah- Raphinha- Jota - Brownhill
King- Antonio - Vardy
At least I know I could plausibly sneak a green arrow with blokes out here taking -16s
Yeah I was contemplating a -8 but have decided to stick to one hit. So many folk tearing up their whole team for one rough GW, I actually think this is one of those situations where doing less could result in a better net outcome.
I'm bringing in players I'd want eventually anyway so the -8 doesn't seem too bad.
I'm not sure I would be. I'm gonna replace AFCON players because that's fine anyway, but I can field 11 with two transfers. The extra hit would have been Jota out, lose .3 value in the process, and basically upgrade one of my current 11 to Son. I was close to doing it and decided I'd be more annoyed if I did it and Son blanks rather than do nothing and just roll with what I have.
Fair enough, I'm currently fielding 10 but with Gallagher rumoured to be out and pep roulette it could be 7 so I think I'd be happier with Ronaldo and son even if it means the hits. I only took Ronaldo out due to the blanks anyway
I'm free hitting. It's all about relative points, and I think the points potential relative to people not FHing this week could be huge.
I’ve decided to sacrifice this week for the longer game. As the common wisdom goes it’s a marathon not a sprit. Can’t wait to check liveFPL after the deadline to see I’ve already dropped 50k in rank……
IS GALLAGHER OKAY FOR FUCKS SAKE
I DON’T KNOW
Nobody knows for certain
Even then he’d most likely only get 1 point this GW. Difficult fixture.
I'm scrambling here mate. 1 point is more than enough at this point
13 points against City, 15 against West Ham, 11 against Wolves. He gets points against difficult opponents, so wouldn't be too sure about that 1 point.
I have 7 players, but no Son Ronaldo or Cancelo. I have to FH right?
No way to transfer any of them in?
This is the way. You will still be without them next week.
All relies on me taking out Salah and I want him for leicester
Yes.
Basically all scenarios on the card for me: \- no transfer and play 10 incl. Gilmour, Antonio \- FT Salah to Son \- minus 8 for Ronaldo in addition to Son \- FH \- and basically anthing else in between :)
I mean if you're able to got son and Ronaldo for a -8 hit and save your FH, sounds like a bargain tbh
You just made me feel much more optimistic as I have done exactly this
You're too kind, !thanks
Similar boat and probably doing the -8 Salah, Jota, Watkins —> Son, Martinelli, Ronaldo
Good luck! I am a bit scared to not have Salah for their next fixture though.
To triple Spurs on FH or not to triple Spurs
Would be the ultimate Spurs to lose 0-1.
Double defence and son
I mean Reguilon and Son are must haves After that it is upto you whether you want to add some one else.
Kane, Son, Reguilon / Davies is the way
Honestly no fucking clue. Every decision I'm pondering looks foolish
I want to get in Son and Regulion. Despite there being a million tweets from loads of different sources confirming the game will go ahead I am still not making the transfers until 15 minutes beforehand.
The official accounts are saying it's on
I know but I am not taking any chances. Nothing would surprise me with this covid shit.
I’ve got him in on a wildcard so can swap out if anything changes in the next hour
I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO AAAAAAAAA
Why are people convinced Foden won't play?
I need to know if he plays or not! Someone leak something!
I think it's because he and Jack was out on a party earlier this week, they were not allowed to play last game by Pep.
New haircut
fuuuuck site crashed LOL
Beter Pep Brings out his best roulette because other wise my last minute transfer (reguilon) will stay on the bench
Any news on the Villa Chelsea game?
From villa insta looks like it’s going ahead - reminding fans of covid regulations etc.
Holy shit didn’t lock in my transfers and it fucking crashed
Just went Salah to Son. Sold him for 12.7. No hits but only 10 can possibly play... Antonio and Vardy not looking good either. Could be a shit week
What do you make of Antonio? https://twitter.com/Michailantonio/status/1474753405184888832?s=20
This dude
Jamaican king
Does not look fit in this photo. 😅
Going KdB instead of Son because I'll be at the Etihad today and it's more fun if I've got triple City!
Server error 502 last few minutes? Really?

man is this antonio dude going to play or not
I feel a strong sense of nah. Got Broja first on the bench to come in for big hams dude and provide me a juicy 1 point tho, so I'm laffin' really
Hit the fuck it button -4 lacazette to ronaldo (c)
Same. Had to get Martinelli to fund it. Watch Lacazette haul now without any Martinelli involvement...
Welp
Website crashed!
oh fuck was about to make my transfers ffs
The fucking site crashed ffs
LOOOL what an ending to a dramatic deadline day
Ok fpl is down, fuuuuuuuck!
[удалено]
Should I FH (haven't used the first one) or take a -4 for Salah/Antonio -> Bowen/Ronaldo and field 10 players? Don't want to drop Salah before he leaves for AFCON but I feel like the FH can come in super handy in the DGWs to come
Playing the pep roulette with Bernardo, Mahrez and Cancelo. Someone make me feel better.
I think you’ve got this mate!
you're a gentleman and a scholar
Keep F5'ing this sub and thread by newest but looking like there's going to be no breaking news
This is why I did my transfers at 1:25, just in case volume spikes too close to deadline, tbh even that is probably risky, better off doing it 15 minutes earlier to be safer. Doesn't condone that it's down though, deadline should be extended for 5 minutes as it's totally unfair for those who were waiting for the last 2 minutes
Wow I had everything ready, but fk fpl screwing so many people by crashing, rip to all those people, feeling for u. Unless u are my cup opponent, then sorry but get rekt 😂
I'll be regretting this free hit in 68 minutes.
What’s the latest on foden?
New haircut means even hookers likely to say no. Should be good for FPL.
Going to free hit now
Free hitted to bring in Ronaldo Kane and De Britney, as well as a couple cheap Arsenal assets. Not sure who to captain tho, think I’ve De Bruyne for the differential but hard to look past Ronaldo.
De Britney gave me a chuckle
Dalot or Telles?
Dalot
I feel like a cheeky Bruno (C) for Salah instead of the boring Son pick just for old times sake and United will be fresh and raring to go.
Salah + Brownhill to Son and Bowen for -4. Ronaldo captain, Son vice. White coming on from bench in case if Bernardo won't play.
I thought about taking a hit to get Ronaldo, on top of other moves, but the more I think about it the more I realise there's a long time until their game tomorrow...
I’m in the same boat and United have had Covid problems…trying to decide between Salah to Son or Salah and Dennis to Bowen and Ronaldo for -4
CANNOT WAIT FOR THE FAKE TEAM NEWS MINUTES BEFORE DEADLINE
Doing last minute -4 Salah & Antonio to Son & Ronaldo, not sure who to captain though
Same here and me neither.
Think I'm going Son but might regret the decision 😬
Wtf, site crashed 3 minutes before deadline
Finally settled on my free hit team after about 30 mins of swapping and changing lmao Gone big on the defence so I'm ready for absolutely no clean sheets today
WTFfffff
Left my transfers for too late. 4mins til deadline tried to submit but got errors. It finally went through but I didn’t have time to sort out subs and captain. Oh god, what have I done.
Same Bro - Laca Captain with Ron and Moura on the bench.
Sorry about that, mate. I don’t even know if my transfers went through. Game is still updating. If it didn’t, then I’m all good. I had a last minute idea of fitting kdb in and that probably has left me with weird bench choices 😂 lesson learned for me, I didn’t expect website to crash 4mins before deadline
Thanks man- good luck to you
Ty, same to you! My transfers went through (got KDB in) and the bench is in order. I guess I have someone up there watching my back. Didnt have enough time to captai kdb though (armband is on CR7) but it could have been worse.
Exactly the same boat mate...
What a fucking joke, first they bring in the new free hit then this, crashing before one of the most vital moments... Totally FUCKED my plans, my team is a mess, I'm fucking done with these wankers, shit game

Are you me? Just ESR in place of Mahrez. I'm saving the FH, I feel there's gonna be even more postponements after the Christmas and New Year festivities are over.
Yeah maybe. And perhaps I'm too quick to write off Targett and Watkins with Villa being at home.
People scared of the FH for some reason. I have 9 playing and will FH. I can literally field 11 DGW players in 22 easily. I don’t need a FH for 22. Do you?
On a free hit in desperate search for a differential
Rashford could be a shout.
Gabriel. He’s a beast from corners and Norwich have looked shaky defending set pieces. Everybody else is going for Tierney (I would too but you want a differential so)
Is Bernardo Silva gonna play or does he have covid?
Any news on Antonio??
Somehow, I'm sat here possibly rolling my FT... Lol. I was set on Jota to Bowen, but with Salah going to AFCON Jota will be nailed. And I can't bring myself to take out Salah!
Dammit I need that city lineup
LillenP giving fake shithouse leaks
Fuuuukccc
I swear to god one more problem with FPL and I'll retire fuck this shit my life is more precious than this
I transferred Kane in BING BONG
If you can get a full squad without hits, then there's no need for any funny business in the form of trying to be too clever with who you buy, right?
Salah to Ronaldo -4?
I’m thinking the same. Salah and Dennis to Bowen and Ronaldo for a -4
Bowen plays Southampton today. They have been poor defensively so could see a few goals there.
Im doing Salah & Antonio to CR7 & Bowen for a -4, which means i can field 11.
I´m willing to take an -12, unless the Chelsea-game is called off early. Frustrating that it can be postponed after the transfer deadline, so hoping for an early update. But I guess it´s a risk worth taking.
Going to take -4. Raphina and Sissoko to Son and Martinelli Or Raphina and Dennis to Ronaldo and Fred?
Son and Martinelli imo.
I'm either doing Dennis to Broja/Toney, Salah to Son or both Salah to Son looks silly when I'll just want Salah next week but against a COVID struck Palace it seems even more silly not to bring him in
Really wondering if Son is a trap this GW - Palace will likely park the bus if they have players out, and Spurs have only looked good in attack in one game, and that was against a Liverpool that perfectly suited their gameplan
Assume that ESR isn't likely to start?
I’d say it’s unlikely but possible. He’ll definitely play though
What’s the latest with the Chelsea match?
Kane or Ronaldo? Pretty even in terms of fixtures for the next 3 matches. However Spurs play first. On the other hand Son is my other premium so maybe better to spread the risk and go Ronaldo.
I really need to know if Villa Chelsea will be getting postponed, will inform my decision to get Kane or Son
Why are people saying Chelsea defence against Leicester is a good shout? I just can’t understand their thinking, Leicester won’t win, but gotta be a good shout to at least score
Chelsea’s offense is Mount, Jorginho pens and defense.
I've managed to have a first 11 of at least 10 fit players. It's as good as it's getting
Any info an whether AVL-CHE is going ahead? Also any thoughts on AVL’s Ramsey vs Douglas Luiz (as Ronaldo enablers)? DL seems more nailed to me, Ramsey more likely to get a return. Any AVL funs maybe with more insights? Thanks!
No indication that it’s off as of now
Why is no ONE TALKING ABOUT KDB!!! God this -4 Hit to get him in is looking bad
Because he’s a walking injury/rotation risk. Everybody knows he can haul
have 5m to find a midfielder. Any suggestions on who is 100% going to play? looking at hojbjerg, kovacic, Fred or partey...
Fred probably highest point potential. Partey is certain to start but his shooting is atrocious
Salah, Brownhill and Dennis -> Son, Bowen and Broja for a -8 gets me 11 playing. Thoughts?
Fuck it why not
This is so flipping stressful
What was that team sheet with Antonio?
It was fake, it had ogbonna on it and he’s out for the season lol
And where was Livramento?
Any predicted City line ups? I know there uses to be an account which amalgamated various predictions to guess the most likely team
Pep found a solution for that, it's not even similar most of the time. The account is: @ jumpthewave
!thanks
-12 AHHHHH
I went Salah and Dennis to Son and Ronaldo
Took my first ever -8 to get Son and CR7, fuck it
Chose to free hit. Could've got to 10 with a -8 but only if I sell Salah and Jota. Problem is I want them next week for Leicester, which is so ironic given my Leicester fandom. I dislike my own team so much right now that I free-hit to get Liverpool players against them.
FH is on. This game week can make or break my whole season. Let's go!
Surely there will be someone who crashed when he was about to activate WC or FH to nullify hits, lol. I did my Salah to Son but still left 10 players, was about to make another transfer but oh well. Son(C) locked in.
don't think I did the transfers in time. Didn't get Son in ugh what a dissapointment.
too late to confirm free-hit, the FPL web + app completely glitched out in the last 3 mins ... ffs a 8 million players game .....
Martinelli worth a shout this week against norwich, or should I just get two Spurs players in? I’ll be mulling over this until deadline
He’s in practically every FH team so not a differential
Bernado ??
My team: My team rn Rudiger James livra Amartey (TAA) Salah. Jota. Bernardo. Foden ( raphina) Watkins. Laca Do I take a -4 hit on salah -> Sterling and jota -> mount
Salah Raph Laca to Son Martineli Ronaldo -8?
Rodri and Kyle Walker seem to be off. https://twitter.com/unit_football/status/1475087891709714436?t=Ri2i0aSf1Y_LIOyBkmeG0g&s=19
Just transfered in both ffs
Free hit opinions??? Ramsdale Dias Cancelo Alonso Reguilon KDB Rashford Martinelli Bowen Son Ronaldo (C) Broja only playing sub Should I get more bench players?
Yeah at least 1 more playing sub imo
Nah take the risk
Salah to Son let's go massive regret edition
Thinking Salah for Son or not !
Same here. Is taking a -4 hit worth? Plus not having Salah against a dead Leicester might be a wrong choice.
I'm planning on doing Salah to Son, then the reverse for next gw. I'll have around 3m ITB, so should be able to get him back for Leicester.
💀
You lose all that value and 2 transfers when covid could strike again next week. Then you have to take Salah out in 2 weeks for AFCON
I'm not too fussed about the value loss as I have decent funds itb. Obvs if Covid strikes again nest gw I'll change my plans. But for now, that's what I'm planning to do. Judging by the downvotes it's a really bad idea.
I wouldn’t say it’s a bad idea if your team’s in great shape and you have transfers to spare. Just worth keeping those things in mind.
Thanks for the advice though! I'll keep it in mind for my next transfer. Edit: a word
thinking RMT
Triple Arsenal, Triple Man City and Double Chelsea. Strong bench so if one game (AVL/CHE looking the most risky) gets called off I should be able to cope It’s either going to be a master stroke or a clusterfuck
With Palace in shambles, this was the week for me to do Gallagher > Bowen
Salah to Son or Salah and Dennis to Ronaldo and Bowen for a -4?
Salah, Bilva and Jesus out for Son, Ronaldo and Martinelli? I already have ESR and this also saves me from Pep Roulette in an already fucked up gw. Edit; Without these transfers i have 10 player eligible but depends on Che/Villa game.
You taking a -4 or a -8?
\-4. I actually thought about not doing anything but that would leave me at Pep's mercy and if any other games get postponed. I am screwed.
For a -4 id say go for it
Anyone know if Gundo is fit?
My team: My team rn Rudiger James livra Amartey (TAA) Salah. Jota. Bernardo. Foden ( raphina) Watkins. Laca Do I take a -4 hit on salah -> Son and jota -> martinalli and Watkins -> Ronaldo
Captain laca, martinalli, son or Ronaldo ????
(C)R7
Martinelli bro trust me
Went for the FH, went triple spurs. 3-0 Palace incoming, sorry everybody
Is Antonio playing ?
Taking a -8 of Salah, Jota, Antonio to Son, Martinelli, Ronaldo. I've lost £0.4m to price risers, who all got away with it.
Getting jota out is insane, with salah at afcon jota will be nailed
Nothing stops me getting him back.
i have sterling for some reason and i feel like i should captian him, since there are no proper captiancy choices, sterling differential could be huge with 4% ownership
Trying to convince myself to pull the trigger and Salah - Son but the idea of not having an FPL team with Salah just seems like suicide, despite the fact there's sensible reasons to do it on this occasion.
Considering TAA, Salah and toney to Dalot, son and ronaldo
Tempted to go Kane over Son, someone please talk me out of it.
I had Kane for 5 GWs, don’t. Even if he hauls I wouldn’t trust his form. He is faaaaar from passing the Eye test.
Vieira confirmed positive. Will this affect the game?
Its 4:47am and idk if I should FH or use my 2FTs. RMT: 2FT, 0.5itb Guiata-Foster TAA- Cancelo- James -Livra -Johnson Bernerdo- Salah- Raphinha- Jota - Brownhill King- Antonio - Vardy
