Salah, Fernandes and Grealish pulled the points in. Now tempted to resist any of those three again this week and roll my FT. You won't be surprised to know Jota is going up in price again tonight. Just in case it factors into any decision making. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted December 1, 2020 Author VT Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2020 I think my planned transfers, which would probably have been a -4 anyway, would leave me with an ok team even without my villa players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I wild carded in a new team before this last game week. I’m now stuck with three players on the bench that never play and three Villa players that will miss a week. With only one transfer to sort it out. Great!

BOF Posted December 2, 2020 Moderator Share Posted December 2, 2020 Decided on a 4pt hit that puts out another fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Still haven't jumped onto the Jota train, despite 2 price rises. And I'm undecided whether Mahrez is worth a risk in Pep roulette this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted December 4, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 4, 2020 With the number of injuries, covid infections and now postponed games I haven't had a full 11 for about 4 weeks and have been plummeting in rankings. Even taking the odd - 4 or - 8 I've not been able to keep up as I've had rotten luck and the players I have had have fluffed easy looking fixtures. So disheartening after a relatively strong start but hopefully smooths itself out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted December 4, 2020 Author VT Supporter Share Posted December 4, 2020 4 pt hit for me. I've risked Mahrez. Hattrick last week and rested midweek. Hopefully that means he starts. I could have got KDB in for Son as I had the cash, but my defence desperately needs addressing and I couldn't do both without taking significant hits. So I've gambled on Mahrez, but I have an easy route to get KDB in in 2 weeks if that looks like a mistake. Dunne and Son out Mahrez and (Reece) James in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 What’s this -4 points you’re talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can choose to not use it and roll it into the following week but you can only do that once so you can only ever have two free transfers per week. Every transfer you make over your free transfers cost you 4 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 With Villa 2 games in hand now, there has to be rounds coming up when they have 2 games in a round. Having the right Villa players could be quite lucrative. I will pass though. I don't want to cripple Grealish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you'd assume there's a good chance Man City will too given one of our games in hand is against them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted December 5, 2020 Author VT Supporter Share Posted December 5, 2020 So instead of signing KDB this week I decided to go for Mahrez and upgrade my defence with Reece James. Mahrez has blanked. And because I didn't have KDB I captained Bruno. Who is on the bench. I hate this game 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 After fielding a squad with six players that didn’t play this week, I’ve still managed to pick up 75 points with one more to play tomorrow. Captaining Salah instead of Kane paid off nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
