wilko154 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Worked my way up to 9 players this week; 5 are Villa & Spurs I took a -4 to get my squad sorted; if I play free hit now will the -4 be taken off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty certain it would be, same as with wildcards. But you could check in the rules section to make sure if worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is. FH gives you back your points for this week's transfers. But it also brings those players into that FH meaning they're gone again for 19. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-k Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Me when the Burnley v United match was re-arranged for GW18, knowing I would have at least 11 players with a match and already one banked free transfer so I could use one transfer this week in advance as planning for next week, as well as use the two other free transfers next week for a loaded double GW19: Me when our game vs Spurs gets postponed and I'm down to a 0-4-2-2 formation, forcing me to free hit (my Cup opponent is surely using that chip) and thus losing two of the three free transfers I had planned: Edited January 8, 2021 by a-k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 9, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted January 9, 2021 Yeah I imagine if you don't have your FH you're pretty screwed for this week. Feel bad for people who wildcarded to prepared for this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted January 11, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 11, 2021 So now that Fulham have taken our place against Spurs what is everyone's plans for this week? I've got 6 players but one is Brewster so that's 5; 1 is Wood so realistically that's 4; leaving 3 City and Penandes. Really tempted by that FH now I lost Jack and Martinez, but not sure how useful it might be later in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 After those FA Cup draws, there's a decent chance GW 29 could be.. Palace v Utd WBA v Everton Fulham v Leeds Brighton v Newcastle You've got to think it's very likely is that'll end up being a catch-up week as well with teams playing whoever they haven't played yet.

wilko154 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Free Hit activated. Just going to play the game weeks as they come and worry about the later ones when we get there. You can't predict anything this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted January 11, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 11, 2021 I've just freehit too. Way this season is going I wouldn't be surprised if it's called off so might as well take the points now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 11, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 11, 2021 Chelsea just closed their training ground. Senior team not affected. It's impossible to avoid now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 12, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2021 Yeah Free Hit for me too. With Villa not playing I was down to 3 players so any hope I had of fielding a team without a free hit has gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's likely to be a big blank. It was why some people were advocating using the wildcard already to get through the blank this week as the FH would be more useful in GW29. but I couldn't bring myself to burn my second wildcard so soon. I'm more likely to use it for the double in GW26 (I think) with half an eye on getting through GW29 with transfers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To many decent players with decent fixtures available this week to not FH and only have a few players. I've now got 4 very solid Captaincy picks for this week in Penandes, KDB, Son and Kane. Leaning towards Son as he was rested at the weekend and think he could punish Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Third time this season I save players and tactic and it's changed by the time in starts. Driving me livid. Had 352 with Saka. They took Saka out and put Brewster up top for a 343. **** utter bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Just FPL login in through google on an android phone. Definitely is something up, cause since I've experienced it before this season, I double checked when I made the changes last night.

Stevo985 Posted January 12, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2021 I've never heard of that happening either. Are you sure you saved your team rather than just making the change and leaving it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I also changed captains from Bruno F to Kane and that's registered, so it's definitely saved some of the changes.
