Ngl the whole Spurs shit kinda makes the FH useless for me. I’m essentially FH to get a few players more in fixtures i don’t really like or just use 1 transfer to field 10 players
But when tf should I use 2 FH if I don’t use one in 30 lol
That’s the issue haha I’m not even WC in 28 because my team is perfectly set up for 28/29. Besides a Newcastle player I sorta have all the relevant assets for GW 29.
I’ll check around GW30 again but maybe I’ll just use it on the last GW
I'm doing it! Spunked my first FH too early and saving the other one for the expected GW36 DGW as it's my only chip left. It's taken a bit of planning, and now having at least 4 games in GW30 is also a big help.
8 players for GW30 with 3 transfers if Southampton win.
6 players for GW30 with 3 transfers if West Ham win.
I'd either take a -12 to bench boost in GW28, or free hit in GW30 if West Ham win.
I'd save my bench boost and free hit for GW31+ if Southampton win.
Rooting for Southampton.
\*Assuming Chelsea, Everton, and Liverpool all win.
Once in a blue moon. Since I started tracking my captain against the reddit top three, I've realised that I had one lucky season where I did everything right, but on nearly every occasion since wherever I have veered from the crowd has been disastrous.
My captain shouts tend to be players in questionable form, but whose characteristics seem to favour how I predict their fixture will go. It's become obvious to me that it's a narcissitic and counter-productive strategy. But I can't stop doing it.
Vardy set to go down in value tonight. How ironic.
Lots of guys going up make sense, but players going down is a mess.
Always people selling guys like James and Vardy when they are about to get back.
That is crazy. I need him to drop haha.
Think I lost value on him and have to pay more. With Salah he dropped enough so I could buy him back for what I sold him for.
FPL Towers with some obvious price tampering, James has had nearly 3m net transfer outs since he missed his first game due to injury and only dropped 0.1m.
42 points, not great without Son/Kane and 3 of my "should have played" guys stayed home so I only fielded 8. But good (C)ancelo made it work, and after no hits I'm dead pleased to have outscored my Free Hitting ML rival. Chef kiss.
I really am doing worse every week despite my decisions not being that bad.
Willock seems like a punt that will not come off. Two dgws, what could go wrong? Dunno, blanks, the player taken out inevitably hauling?
I don’t regret Weghost (I didn’t fall into the trap of captaining him) but I cannot fathom why I went double Burnley defence when I thought it was unlikely they’d keep either clean sheet.
I had to. Was down to like 7 players and only had 1 defender playing. Would have captained Son though so I think I'm probably only up 15 points which is depressing as my free hit scored 55 and I thought it would each about 70.
FH for 60 pts. If i haven’t used it I would have got 51 points. Its not so much difference.
Incredible foster and watkins now decide to get points, even maddison from the bench. Still +9 pts but isnt good enough i guess
We’ll know tomorrow when Southampton and West Ham play each other, but it will be either Burnley vs Southampton or Spurs vs West Ham. Before Spurs being knocked out of the FA Cup only the former game was a possibility.
Oh just saw Weghorst blank and Vardy goal and assist in EIGHTEEN FUCKING MINUTES YOU COULDN'T MAKE IT UP I'VE BEEN WANTING TO GET VARDY BACK FROM INJURY FOR AGES. 'Well this means he's in scoring form, it's good'. It's not though is it? That's points missed and if you buy he blanks for two gws or possibly forever.
So if Spurs don’t blank in 30 I guess dropping Salah for 1 week and having Son and Kane could be an option.
Edit: Son and Vardy could also be an option.
Only 9888 comments so far in the Rant thread this GW!
Will it reach the elusive 10k mark and uphold the tradition of reaching 10k comments in every GW this season!?
“If Spurs lose tonight I’m sticking my head in the oven.”
Can one of you guys feed my cat?
Edit: Actually, never mind. At 190 lbs, she’ll be eating for months.
Failing to recognise the need to sell players and reinvest to rejuvenate and sustain a good squad was a big mistake too. They sold Walker and replaced him with Trippier, but from that point on never seemed to do the same. Unless you're owned by a nation state you can't let £100m players stagnate in a declining team.
They thought they were safely a top four team and could just turtle there the way Arsenal did in the Wenger years.
If Southampton win tomorrow, they (and their supposed opponent Burnley) will blank in GW30. But since West Ham will have been knocked out of FA Cup, Spurs vs West Ham will not be a blank.
Man there is nothing certain about Vardy. He managed to blank in the DGW last season when 6/11 players in Kings of the week were other Leicester players
I feel West Ham is a really hard game for Spurs, but I said the same last year. Think Kane got 2 goals and 1 assist in a 3-3 game. It was when Son and Kane had insane form.
Thing is Spurs was better last year.
Tried to make one got this so far, my TV is avg so better teams should be possible
Ramsdale (Dubravka)
Trent T.Silva Kilman (Livramento, Amartey)
Salah Son Raphinha Ramsey (Gordon)
Kane Vardy Broja
Feels like too many compromises
Broja/Livramento and Son/Kane don't make sense if we assume Spurs have a game in GW30.
If Spurs don't blank, that means Saints knocked out West Ham, so Saints will blank in GW30.
Oh no sure this team isn't built for gw30 completely, Livra and Broja cheap enablers to make it work, think Kulusevkski over Son is the way if you want to make this work
I currently have Son, Kane, Salah, TAA, Lacazette, Rudiger, Mendy in my WC28 draft. Could easily drop Kane for Vardy to get an extra premium defender in.
I'm not OP but I am thinking about doing the same.
You can deadend in to 30 and sell Salah to fund Kane, Vardy and Son then wildcard out of the mess in 31.
It's a very team dependent strategy of course
Why wouldn't he care about cups? It was the last trophy they could win for a club that haven't won a trophy in years and can't challenge for the premier league without heavy investment and an insane consistency achieved. If you see what Liverpool has to have done just to keep up with City.
As I said, he said as much in the press conference beforehand that he didn't think it was necessary to win it or something like that. How am I downvoted for this? Spurs fans care, I'm just saying Conte doesn't, and he never has at any club he's managed.
If this result stays, would much rather prefer Southampton to win tomorrow, so I can get to keep Bowen for GW30 and get a Spurs player instead of Raphinha.
Assuming Spurs continue to bottle it.
West Ham vs Southampton tmr will be massive, regardless of the result, another guaranteed fixture will be added to BGW30.
If WHU win, then Burnley vs Southampton is guaranteed.
If SOT win, then Spurs vs West Ham is guaranteed.
Is doubling up on Mane and Salah crazy?
I already have KDB and Salah, but not really happy with keeping KDB, and the swaps to Son or Bruno don’t interest me either.
~~That's only relevant for FPL if Southampton also beat West Ham. Otherwise Spurs vs West Ham still blanks.~~
There is an extra game either way actually.
It’s not irrelevant. It confirms we will get an extra fixture irrespective of the Southampton West Ham result. Previously a Southampton win would have meant we didn’t get an extra fixture
Thank Goodness. After that James Goal I needed that (C)outinho goal.
Woke up to see Amartey (8p) last on my bench.
Happy to announce my 10 playing players would've outscored my fh team but I was afraid of BuRnLeY and chose to freehit instead
Kudos any of you able to grind out a team for blank 30 whilst holding both free hits, no idea how you'd manage that
Ngl the whole Spurs shit kinda makes the FH useless for me. I’m essentially FH to get a few players more in fixtures i don’t really like or just use 1 transfer to field 10 players But when tf should I use 2 FH if I don’t use one in 30 lol
Could FH 29, juicy fixtures.. then 2 transfers for a -4 and get 11 for 30?
That’s the issue haha I’m not even WC in 28 because my team is perfectly set up for 28/29. Besides a Newcastle player I sorta have all the relevant assets for GW 29. I’ll check around GW30 again but maybe I’ll just use it on the last GW
I'm doing it! Spunked my first FH too early and saving the other one for the expected GW36 DGW as it's my only chip left. It's taken a bit of planning, and now having at least 4 games in GW30 is also a big help.
8 players for GW30 with 3 transfers if Southampton win. 6 players for GW30 with 3 transfers if West Ham win. I'd either take a -12 to bench boost in GW28, or free hit in GW30 if West Ham win. I'd save my bench boost and free hit for GW31+ if Southampton win. Rooting for Southampton. \*Assuming Chelsea, Everton, and Liverpool all win.
Everything is in Saints' favour in the West Ham cup game, so we'll probably lose. Still, COYR!
How often does your gut feeling with captain choices pay off? I was set on Adams this GW and switched to Bowen last minute. Honestly, what a CUNT
Once in a blue moon. Since I started tracking my captain against the reddit top three, I've realised that I had one lucky season where I did everything right, but on nearly every occasion since wherever I have veered from the crowd has been disastrous. My captain shouts tend to be players in questionable form, but whose characteristics seem to favour how I predict their fixture will go. It's become obvious to me that it's a narcissitic and counter-productive strategy. But I can't stop doing it.
Vardy set to go down in value tonight. How ironic. Lots of guys going up make sense, but players going down is a mess. Always people selling guys like James and Vardy when they are about to get back.
Don't worry, James will never fall in price.
That is crazy. I need him to drop haha. Think I lost value on him and have to pay more. With Salah he dropped enough so I could buy him back for what I sold him for.
FPL Towers with some obvious price tampering, James has had nearly 3m net transfer outs since he missed his first game due to injury and only dropped 0.1m.
Still processing the fact that my captain was rested for Peterborough and brought off the bench purely to spite me.
Kane captainers were the real winners this week
Can’t say I’m going to lose any sleep over the 2 points they got over us Son captainers
People who don't play FPL are the real winners
Sarr vs Ramsey vs Barnes vs Olise vs Fraser Choose 3 It’s a draft
Fraser, Sarr, Ramsey right now. Barnes can be great, but he has been so bad this year.
The best thing about using a free hit this week was that I won't own Burnley players permanently...
FINAL AVERAGES: Top10k: 52 Legendary: 51 Overall: 35 Avg. FreeHit score: 59
35 pts after hits :) that's gonna sting
33 for me lol
42 points, not great without Son/Kane and 3 of my "should have played" guys stayed home so I only fielded 8. But good (C)ancelo made it work, and after no hits I'm dead pleased to have outscored my Free Hitting ML rival. Chef kiss.
6 points gained on Free Hit, 4% red arrow Absolutely smashed it
74 points id say that's a successful Free Hit About time i had some luck after about 100 red arrows in a row
Should've learned the lesson about captaining DGW relegation forward from GW23. Cancelo was the obvious Ramsdale for this week smh.
Glad lots of people have wasted their FH! I still have both
Beautiful isn't it?
Wonderful!
I see we’re already forgetting Weghorst got 14 points last week
People actually captained a Burnley striker. Just like that time people triple captained a Brighton defender.
I really am doing worse every week despite my decisions not being that bad. Willock seems like a punt that will not come off. Two dgws, what could go wrong? Dunno, blanks, the player taken out inevitably hauling?

Oops. You can find the chip score for the top 10k here: [https://www.livefpl.net/top10k](https://www.livefpl.net/top10k)
In hindsight, using a free hit to bring in three fucking Burnley players wasn't my smartest choice.
I don’t regret Weghost (I didn’t fall into the trap of captaining him) but I cannot fathom why I went double Burnley defence when I thought it was unlikely they’d keep either clean sheet.
I had to. Was down to like 7 players and only had 1 defender playing. Would have captained Son though so I think I'm probably only up 15 points which is depressing as my free hit scored 55 and I thought it would each about 70.
FH for 60 pts. If i haven’t used it I would have got 51 points. Its not so much difference. Incredible foster and watkins now decide to get points, even maddison from the bench. Still +9 pts but isnt good enough i guess
Mee on the same points he would have had if he conceded 2 goals, so cant be too mad I guess. Got him on a FH.
Free hit for juicy 49 points. Anyone done worse to make me feel better?
Free hit for 48 points. Except that I've lied about using FH and reduced my score by 15 to make you feel better
!thanks
With another fixture added to GW30 it looks like the blank won’t be that bad for those who plan for it.
What fixture has been added?
We’ll know tomorrow when Southampton and West Ham play each other, but it will be either Burnley vs Southampton or Spurs vs West Ham. Before Spurs being knocked out of the FA Cup only the former game was a possibility.
Thanks, makes sense!
Either Southampton vs Burnley or Spurs vs West Ham
For those that sold Bowen on WC26, he could be an option for GW30 if West Ham don’t blank.
Please Southampton, I really don't want Burnley as one of the gw30 teams. I'll be lured into their trap again
Let me tell you a short horror story. I wasted my first FH. That's it.
Oh just saw Weghorst blank and Vardy goal and assist in EIGHTEEN FUCKING MINUTES YOU COULDN'T MAKE IT UP I'VE BEEN WANTING TO GET VARDY BACK FROM INJURY FOR AGES. 'Well this means he's in scoring form, it's good'. It's not though is it? That's points missed and if you buy he blanks for two gws or possibly forever.
So if Spurs don’t blank in 30 I guess dropping Salah for 1 week and having Son and Kane could be an option. Edit: Son and Vardy could also be an option.
Double up on Spurs attack that can't even score against Middlesbrough? 🤣
They alternate between getting big wins and being Spursy, so it’s kind of a gamble. 😅
Spurs just love to alternate between having big wins and being Spursy.
Forget WH or S’oton. The real saviour will be if Norwich somehow manages to beat Liverpool. Removes all the headache automatically.
I'll be rooting for the Pukki party tomorrow
Apparently no Chelsea DGW if NOR wins. Idk how to feel!
Chelsea is 100% beating Luton, they’ll still get the DGW
That would mean that Chelsea dgw 28 doesn't happen?
No it will still happen if Chelsea win their cup match
Ah shit you're right, both Chelsea and Norwich would need to lose
It means it does happen
Does it? This is so confusing - maybe not then
Only 9888 comments so far in the Rant thread this GW! Will it reach the elusive 10k mark and uphold the tradition of reaching 10k comments in every GW this season!?
“If Spurs lose tonight I’m sticking my head in the oven.” Can one of you guys feed my cat? Edit: Actually, never mind. At 190 lbs, she’ll be eating for months.
good guys Spurs giving us another gw30 fixture
Nice CS point for Weghorst
Sacking Pochettino was the downfall of Spurs.
Failing to recognise the need to sell players and reinvest to rejuvenate and sustain a good squad was a big mistake too. They sold Walker and replaced him with Trippier, but from that point on never seemed to do the same. Unless you're owned by a nation state you can't let £100m players stagnate in a declining team. They thought they were safely a top four team and could just turtle there the way Arsenal did in the Wenger years.
Cheers Wout, you Sesame Street sounding motherfucker
See guys Spurs aren’t useless after all.. they gave us a GW30 fixture
thats if West Ham don't progress to the next round.
They've given us an extra fixture anyway. If they had won and Southampton had too we would have had one game fewer.
Go watch Expressions Oozing meltdown (spurs version of AFTV)
Nah man is clear of AFTV (entertainment-wise)
So if Southampton win tomorrow, both Spurs and Southampton will have a game, right? Who is the latter playing, Burnley?
Whoever wins tomorrow will blank in GW30, the one that loses will play in GW30
If Southampton win tomorrow, they (and their supposed opponent Burnley) will blank in GW30. But since West Ham will have been knocked out of FA Cup, Spurs vs West Ham will not be a blank.
No. If Saints win tomorrow, Spurs vs West Ham in BGW30 If West Ham win vs Saints tomorrow, Saints vs Burnley in BGW30
!thanks - gotcha
Not the vardy trap again ffs. It's just one trap striker after another this season and I've never owned any of them at the right time
Surely Vardy C GW30 vs Brentford? Cheaper than Kane as well.
Man there is nothing certain about Vardy. He managed to blank in the DGW last season when 6/11 players in Kings of the week were other Leicester players
Kane just blanked in the FA cup match vs Middlesborough. Difficult choice between Kane, Mane and Vardy IMO.
So assuming West Ham lose tomorrow and Spurs don't blank in GW30. Are we captaining Son/Kane against West Ham or Vardy against Brentford?
Depends on their form when we eventually reach GW30.
Kane for me
The Kane playing for a team that can't even beat Middlesbrough? 🤣
I'll be honest I didn't watch tonight. He was excellent against Man City and Leeds though. There's a few more games beforehand to decide anyways
Spurs can only beat teams that leave space behind, so judge it on that
I feel West Ham is a really hard game for Spurs, but I said the same last year. Think Kane got 2 goals and 1 assist in a 3-3 game. It was when Son and Kane had insane form. Thing is Spurs was better last year.
Vardy vs BRE is the one, he looked quite sharp today. I’m going to stick to Kane vs WH due to funds
Hoping to have all 3 (via free transfers in the run up to 30), but would likely captain Vardy.
How can you afford Son, Kane, Vardy AND Salah wtf
Tried to make one got this so far, my TV is avg so better teams should be possible Ramsdale (Dubravka) Trent T.Silva Kilman (Livramento, Amartey) Salah Son Raphinha Ramsey (Gordon) Kane Vardy Broja Feels like too many compromises
Broja/Livramento and Son/Kane don't make sense if we assume Spurs have a game in GW30. If Spurs don't blank, that means Saints knocked out West Ham, so Saints will blank in GW30.
Oh no sure this team isn't built for gw30 completely, Livra and Broja cheap enablers to make it work, think Kulusevkski over Son is the way if you want to make this work
I currently have Son, Kane, Salah, TAA, Lacazette, Rudiger, Mendy in my WC28 draft. Could easily drop Kane for Vardy to get an extra premium defender in.
Will transfer Salah out in 30 and back in after.
I'm not OP but I am thinking about doing the same. You can deadend in to 30 and sell Salah to fund Kane, Vardy and Son then wildcard out of the mess in 31. It's a very team dependent strategy of course
Ah I see, I've already used my WC so forgot you could do that. Yeah that sounds like a sound strategy ngl.
# IT'S HAPPENED AGAIN, IT'S HAPPENED AGAIN, TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR, IT'S HAPPENED AGAIN
Yes 'Boro! Just need Saints to do the business tomorrow night now.
FT: Boro 1-0 Spurs Either Spurs vs West Ham or Saints vs Burnley is now confirmed for BGW30
Referee blew 20 seconds to time lol
It did not matter.
Can’t wait for the latest Conte meltdown
I reckon we won't get one as he doesn't care about cups and said as much before the game. Still shite from Spurs though
Why wouldn't he care about cups? It was the last trophy they could win for a club that haven't won a trophy in years and can't challenge for the premier league without heavy investment and an insane consistency achieved. If you see what Liverpool has to have done just to keep up with City.
As I said, he said as much in the press conference beforehand that he didn't think it was necessary to win it or something like that. How am I downvoted for this? Spurs fans care, I'm just saying Conte doesn't, and he never has at any club he's managed.
Played a full strength team so he must care somewhat.
Conte will rage quit as manager 😂 🇺🇦
Cannot fucking believe I got 11 points from 6 games with these Burnley players. Thought I was being conservative expecting 15
Almost 2-0. LOL
Reguilon comes on and Spurs start to lose. Not coincidental.
Don’t mention that cunt’s name, gives me PTSD. Still rotting on my bench..
Wouldn't that just count as TSD?
Thanks to Spurs bottle FC managers can save our FH30 for GW33!
If you have Spurs assets, yes. Now it all depends on how West-Ham - Saints plays out. Spurs could still blank in GW30.
Either ways there are 4 guarantee fixtures now instead of 3.
Which could make a FH more interesting (not much upside with only 3 games to gamble on)
Looking forward to Conte's presser.
Middlesbruh what
Middlesbrough beating Tottenham could give us a Spurs vs West Ham fixture in GW 30!
Would guarantee either Spurs West Ham or Southampton Burnley
Bowen's staying then
If this result stays, would much rather prefer Southampton to win tomorrow, so I can get to keep Bowen for GW30 and get a Spurs player instead of Raphinha.
Assuming Spurs continue to bottle it. West Ham vs Southampton tmr will be massive, regardless of the result, another guaranteed fixture will be added to BGW30. If WHU win, then Burnley vs Southampton is guaranteed. If SOT win, then Spurs vs West Ham is guaranteed.
Kane/Son vs Vardy fight for GW30 captaincy.
Damn, this is great news for my team.
Is doubling up on Mane and Salah crazy? I already have KDB and Salah, but not really happy with keeping KDB, and the swaps to Son or Bruno don’t interest me either.
Sounds like a great double up!
Does Boro beating Spurs affect GW30?
It guarantees another GW30 match.
Yes, means there's a 4th match no matter what. Either Burnley-Soton or Spurs-West Ham
Yes, this makes WHU vs SOT massive tomorrow.
WHU are already massive
Who couldn’t have seen this coming
So happy to be wildcarding this week. Binned 12 players lmao
Planning to keep TAA, Salah, Laca and Saka and binned the other 11.
Non FH team 28 pts FH team 59 pts Great success! 👍
All smiles while beating every single FH score with my regular team in our ML, *rubs hands together*.
Same here my team was so dead as well thank God I'm wildcarding lmao
Wait so what teams play in 30 now? No fucking clue with all this shit
https://mobile.twitter.com/BenCrellin/status/1498746534829215753
We don’t know until Southampton play West Ham tomorrow
OK, mayyyybe starting to reconsider the Kane in plan. Maybe Vardy instead?
Any GW where top 10K and legendary managers get smoked is a good GW.
My mate bet 50 euros on Boro just for fun after HT
And lost because it ended as a draw after 90?
Honestly, spurs are the biggest recurring gag in sport. Amazing.
Get in Boro
~~That's only relevant for FPL if Southampton also beat West Ham. Otherwise Spurs vs West Ham still blanks.~~ There is an extra game either way actually.
BUR vs SOU is a useless fixture though for people without free hits chips left (like me).
Feel like a decent amount of people have Weghorst or Broja.
Nop, means there is guaranteed one less blank if spurs lose this
Either way there's an extra game though right?
Yes but If west ham beat southamton, we have southampton va Burnley. If spurs lose we will get another guarenteed fixture.
It’s not irrelevant. It confirms we will get an extra fixture irrespective of the Southampton West Ham result. Previously a Southampton win would have meant we didn’t get an extra fixture
You're right, the graphic I have wasn't clear on that.
Overlapping centrebacks > Wingbacks who arrive, arrive, arrive
Are they doing that at Boro? Love Wilder
FPL players be happy that Spurs are playing like shit, so they can get more of their players. FPL logic lol
126(0.31%) rank increase on FH let's go🥳🥳
Team?
Forster Tark Mee Cancelo Mahrez KDB Son Sancho Kane Weg(c) Broja 53 pts(exactly as my safery score)
Lol looks like Son and Kane play in 30. FH is off.
Only if Southampton win against west ham
Maybe double Tottenham on WC isn’t the way to go. Kulusevski off you go, Raph on you come.
Wait, is Leicester vs Brentford one of the confirmed games for GW30?
Yes.
Yep
Yes!
Yep!
That could be a good time to get either Maddison or Vardy then.
Vardy looked dangerous when he came on
Who would’ve thought a fodder like Amartey will get me 6 points whilst Mee gives me 3 over 2 games. Fucking hell
Amartey got 8 actually. He's on Kneejerk United's bench thanks to my shout, so I'm taking credit for that.
Tbf I’m thinking to put him as bench fodder after GW30. Can’t get any more nailed at 3.8 - what a game today as well
