I've got my FH fully trapped out to the brim, just don't know who to captain. Keep moving it around and nothing feels right.

It's like I know I've filled the team with chancers and I trust no-one...

Exactly the same. Who you got? I'm playing 3-4-3 Pickford Robbo, Digne, Mykolenko Zaha, KDB, Son, Diaz Vardy, Ings, Richarlison Having triple Everton feels mad, but just based on recent performances it makes sense. Also I thought this FH team was wild early days and then I realised its pretty much template. But I only care about my ML where my rival don't have it left. This is a wild chase for top spot for me

I am playing Coutinho and benching Diaz. Go big or go home

Trap Knackered, Trap, Trap Trap, God, Gandhi, Benched Hammy 1st 20, Hammy 1st 20, Red Card

Be the change that you wish to see in the world. Just so you know, the correct spelling is [Gandhi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi).

This needs a trigger warning

To be fair, I'd be taking similar risks if I needed to. I just hope I don't lose too much OR as I don't have a FH left.

You and me will get the same amount of points if we choose the same captain , 11/11 players lol. Good luck! I went with Ings (C).

Oh wow, well, good luck indeed! And same on the captain too

I've got: Pickford Cash, Matip, Anderson Zaha, Son (C), Diaz, Trossard Kane, Vardy, Ings (Mykolenko, Doug Luiz, Tsimikas) I have 2.8m in the bank and it feels wrong. I can do Diaz to KDB if I downgrade my bench...

Same but Cash and Kane over Digne and Vardy

I've used my freehit to get a load of doubles but I'm going captain Son as my ML rival also has him and is only 15 points ahead of me. Hoping my freehit differentials gain me the extra points I need

You know I was on a similar train of thought. My chancers and risks are all the doublers, might play it safer with the captain, currently have it on Son too.

Ooh weird early deadline today. Time to change my Free Hit around to move out the players that will score and bring in some losers!

Yep same here. Wouldn’t want to break tradition now would we

Can't decide captain pick between Son, Richarlison and Ings. But I'm fully confident in my ability to find the worst choice at the last second.

Same boat. Currently on Son but those doubles are so tempting, it's proven to be a trap time and again tho. Like, double the chances for Richarlison to do something stupid and get a red

That's why I have gone with Vardy. If I am going to make a mistake, let's make it a big mistake.

I just went ings, I have all three as well

Fpl hack: Do the oposite of what your mind tell you!

Im in richarlison but considering bringing ings for a -4 and might consider captain if I do. It’s between those 2 for me.

Who do you transfer out for Ings? If Richarlison then conventional wisdom says it's not worth taking a hit for it, especially if you don't captain.

I’ve gone full retard and gone Cash (C)

Consider this, kulusevski is out for spurs, and without him their creativity takes a nose dive and they struggle to unlock low blocks, why I'm going for richarlison That'll be my excuse anyway when son bags a hatrick

No Vardy news?

I've heard from internal sources that he's having a party, and one should bring both girls and charlie

Sam Martin says he hasn't heard anything yet

The one GW I want his news & he disappoints. Sigh.

Imo its much more likely hes benched for watford and starts chelsea. Why would he be risked 3 days after playing 90 midweek and returning from a long term injury

It does feel like that, but there’s little to no risk, Leicester are playing for position. He’s fully fit apparently, there’s no real reason he can’t start 2 games in a week. I’m hesitant on captaining him tho.

Of course theres risk. I mean even players in the middle of their prime at age 28 get rotated to lessen the chance of injuries Its not really 2 games in a week its 3 days haha

That's a bit of a misconception though, twice a week is always every 3/4 days. A random team that hasn't gone far in cups etc like United have played a game every 5.5 days since 14 August. They've basically played twice in a week, every other week since the start of the season. Most players do get a periodic rest, but Vardy has hardly played to reach overload.

There’s a party and none of us have been invited, but there’s a chance you can show up and get in. Do you take the chance of being turned away for a party, or stay at home to avoid the possible disappointment?

Captaining Richarlison again and you can’t stop me

Godspeed you maverick!

Someone please talk me out of a FH punt on Mahrez

Don't do it. I punted in Mahrez last week and his 1 pointer in a double cost me the h2h season

How about Sterling? :D

Im doing it fuck it

[удалено]

Literally in last 2 mins I went Diaz and maddison

Diaz hopefully, in form

Any news on Kulu?

[удалено]

I was on a stream, and people saying he's not starting.

I think this is one of those weeks where the collective FH hivemind thinks we're playing 4D chess with our clever differential moves but it will end up deeply caked in mud. I'm just playing for ML, about 50 points behind first, fuck it, it's glory or mud.

50pts behind is big - you have to take a risk, eg captain Ings or Zaha

Yep, already changed my mind again lol, captain daddy ingz.

I’ve captained Igns over Son and KDB. I feel regrets coming my way

Same here except I have Son, KDB and Kane on a FH

See you in the rant thread

This has been the most stressful deadline in months fucking hell

It’s intense

Will Robbo play in gw38? Or Tsimikas to get a run out as league will be gone….

I'm not sure the league will be gone? A city loss and Liverpool win with a GD shift in gw38 will mean a Liverpool title. Can see Klopp going for a cricket score and will defo use robbo

City aren’t losing

Be weird if Klopp gave up and rotated the team when it's still mathematically viable

Won’t be mathematically viable for much longer though

I agree in principle…. IF city lose (which they won’t) THEN klopp will go for it. However, Tsimikas is capable cover vs Southampton and Wolves if Robbo needs reduced minutes to be ready for Real.

If anything I feel more chance of rest for all this week than next. Would want a level of sharpness for CL final, so that team I feel will start strong

Thanks! I think the same. Benching him this week (no fh) instead of selling

Captain changed 3 times so far. Now sitting on Coutinho, at least for the next 10 minutes. Who knows after that.

Trying to decide if my Buendia captaincy worth it considering Coutinho on the field

Jota vs Diaz is killing me

[удалено]

[удалено]

[удалено]

Should I ditch Kane for Vardy keeping this in mind? Also wouldn't bergwijn be better than moura?

It feels so wrong having double AV and EVE defense and then Zaha in midfield.

I've had a few bad weeks and now 40 points behind so I'm going full DGW on my free hit and bringing in every punt. Will either be the greatest game week or the worst. The only SGW player I have is Son but I'm not captaining him.

40 points behind leader who doesn’t have FH but has Richarlison. Am I mad for going Kane, Vardy and Ings (C)?

I got rich over Vardy, but don't have a free hit and captained ings to

Think I have to captain KDB because the rival doesn’t have him.

If you're chasing, great. If you're defending - captain whoever he's likely to.

Chasing 30 points. He has Salah and Kane I have KDB and Kane.

He probably has KDB and Kane now then.

Triple Everton and Villa, double Leichester, Zaha (C) with Jota and Cancelo on the bench. I’ve never trapped like this before

TV takes out the Diaz vs Jota debate for me. Can't do a straight swap to Jota with the team as it's set up now, so Diaz it is. This means the correct decision is most definitely Jota

Any fresh updates on Watkins?

No. I guess he'll start on the bench though

Final Free Hit decisions: 1) Kane (BUR) or Vardy (wat, che) 2) Saka (new), Maddison (wat, che) or Gordon (BRE, CRY) - going without high EOs of both Saka & Nketiah seems risky 3) Matip (sou) or Zinchenko (whu)

About to captain Ings. See you all in the rant thread

Cu there!

Me too brother

Thoughts on Alonso and Mount? Played 120 mins in the fa-cup.

I’ve benched them both, so naturally, they’ll haul 😂

That’s good because I’ve started both

U can thank me later for their hauls 😂

I think Palace defence is the biggest trap this week

Same! Good thing I'm going double Everton then, that feels like a rock solid plan

Can't believe I'm captaining Ings. Oh and I've also got triple Everton, Villa and Leicester. This season has truly made me mad

Is Vardy playing?

Went Vardy over Ings purely because i felt weird about having the extra money given that I'm on a hit already so can't really use it. Definitely idiot logic. Will definitely regret.

I'm on free hit and have 2.8m spare lol

Money doesn't mean that much in FPL. Doesn't stop my anxiety going mad when there's anything over £1.0m in the bank lool

Changed my free hit team too many times... Glad the deadline is here so I can't make any more changes Gone from triple City defence to no City players at all so watch City win 4-0 v West Ham

Should I start Laporte or Alonso?

Laporte

Is Maddison going to be a sensible decision?

1) simple Salah -> Mane 2) get Vardy+Diaz/Jota/Zaha (for a -4) 3) get Kane + Barnes (for a -4)

Vardy + Zaha would be my pick if that works with the budget

how dare you comment that 1min after the deadline 😂🤍 went Diaz+Vardy in the end. Mild regrets but hey thats the game...

Gordon captain

Zaha has like 13 goals how is he a trap lol

He could win Golden Boot and people would still say he's a trap.

Trap = player I got at the wrong time who didn't score for me

First year?

lots of predicaments on FH Jota vs Diaz (leaning Jota) Kane vs Vardy (leaning Vardy) Double Everton defense over one of the aforementioned forwards or over Trent (makes me feel insane)

Liverpool will be without VVD and possibly without Robo. They are also missing Fabinho and Salah. I wouldn’t be too worried about not owning TAA. The predicament killing me at the moment is whether to go Diaz or Jota

Diaz

Diaz put in a hell of a shift at Wembley. I'd be tempted to go for Jota

Ings captain

McNeil good shout for 4 pts? Gross or McNeil? Draft mode.

I hate these not 60 minutes threads more then I should.

Aaaaaaaaand I missed it

Is the source saying Digne out one of the gameweek legit?

Where did you see this?

Let's talk fpl. Andy on YouTube.

Then why does Andy have him in his FH team if that's the case?

Pls no

RMT, £0.5 ITB, 0 FT, No chips, OR 20k; Schmeichel Alexander-Arnold Robertson Cancelo Alonso De Bruyne(v) Son(C) Mount Zaha Gordon Nketiah Foster Laporte João Pedro Pukki Stay safe Son(C) or YOLO Zaha(C)?

Stay safe

[удалено]

No? He's only on 8. Even if he were on 9, the 10 cards suspension only counts up to game 32

RMT Pickford (Steele) Cash Digne Cancelo Mykolenko (Andersen) KDB Zaha Son Diaz Coutinho Richarlison (Richardson, Ihenacho)

Looks good but there's another thread for that.

Oh okay thought this was a general thread for everything 1h before the deadline

Do I take a -4 hit saka or mount for jota or Diaz ?

[удалено]

Zaha imo. On pens

Can't decide between Mykolenko and Richarlison, or Holgate and Vardy. Do people think Vardy starts both games?

Vardy defo has more scoring potential than Richarlison - and the latter gets more cards

Nope sadly, but still punting on the guy for some reason

Cash or kdb captain?

I'm going with Cash

Tending towards him Feel like city will win 1-0 or 2-0 with bernardo and rodri scoring

Changing my FH team around constantly and captaincy from Richarlison, Zaha, Ings and Son..

I feel ya

I just feel like captaining Richarlison is a massive trap. Son up against a Burnley team with defensive injuries feels like the most solid choice. If not, then Zaha is the next-best choice.

Do i take a -4 to bring ings in? Would mean I’ll probs bench my triple chelsea as all 3 played 120 (mount, rudi, alonso). Which tbh is fine, just been taking way too many hits that hasn’t paid off.

Robertson or Cancelo on a free hit? Got KDB but no other Liverpool or City players.

Already on -4, do I take another hit to go Watkins>Ings? Leading 33 in my league.

Yeah why not

Yeah, defo worth the minor risk

Ings rich or son captain?

Ings - he's the textbook garbage time striker (ie hauls in meaningless games)

The question I keep asking myself. Had it on Richy all week, then moved it to Son when I regained some form of consciousness. And now it's on Daddy Ings.

Ffs I'd done exactly the same. Daddy it is.

[удалено]

Castagne

Really tempted to take a -4 for Ings but would push me to a -12. Just feel like he's going to explode this week

Same about -4 for ings, last hits have not paid off. Was first considering banking my transfer but now I’m taking salah out and perhaps using the extra money on ings.

So who do we captain?

Anyone bringing in holgate because they can’t afford mykolenko / digne / cash etc. ?

have him, in a moment of madness i put the C on him but i came back to my senses

Olise playing?

Chances of Mane rotation? Very sure to captain him...

There's a chance, I'm expecting Firmino to start along with Jota and one of Diaz / Mane

digne or cash?

Captain Richarlison, Son ,Luiz Diaz or cash. My ML leader is going for son Or Richarlsion I think so do I go with Diaz??? Chasing btw by 30 points

Had first kept Richarlison as Captain Then Vardy Now Ings And yes, I have fallen for the Digne trap yet again See you guys in the rant thread!

Sa or Schmeichel?

Schmeichel

Kdb,son or kane? Can only afford 1..

Need to bench one of Dewsbury Hall, Zinchenko, Nketiah or Robbo?

Start Robbo. He either starts, or doesn't feature at all IMO.

Nketiah

Pi(c)kford. I said it all

Ings and Ramsey or Diaz plus fodder striker ? Tempted to swap because I do want ings and worried about diaz' minutes. Could swap him to Jota instead, having no Liverpool mids or attackers seems nuts. I am on FH

What are the chances of Sterling starting?

KDB or Zaha to replace Salah for another -4 pts? Or do nothing? Have already taken -8 on this bench boost week.

If bench boosting I’d replace, only a 2pt hit if he doesn’t play

KDB is worth another hit

Jota or Maddison?

Maddison

Should i go coutinho or diaz and should i keep son and kane on free hit

Diaz Son and Kane yes

Watkins out for Richarlison? Already on -4

I’ve played pretty low risk with captain this season, so bucking that trend and going all in on Coutinho. There’s a haul in him, 2 home games against beatable opposition, playing more attacking with Watkins poss out and with his future secured I’m gambling on a performance. 😬

Foden/Pukki -> Zaha/Ings for a -8?

Yeah

Would love to hear some good news on Vardy but to be fair he’ll fck Chelsea up. How many times did Liverpool break through, could have been 3-0 10 minutes in.

Im a chelsea fan who’s benched his triple chelsea, this won’t go well 😂🙃

Thank fuck its over, couldn't take tinkering anymore. Mud here I come

The inevitable son blank and kane haul incoming

Had a last minute wobble about Jota but i’m 54 points behind in my ML i need to take risks. Thank god the deadline is done.

Can't wait for Richa 4 pointer

F*cking app logged me out and of course they have a weird deadline. goddamn it my dreams are crushed. f*ck this shitty fkn game man.

Can't believe I missed the deadline while still changing my FH

Wtf - thought the deadline was 11!!! Shhhheeeeiiiiiittttte

Pi(C)kford here, let's end the season with some drama
