Stevo985 Posted January 10, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 10, 2022 Brought Coufal and DCL in for a hit for their doubles, which meant I could put Alonso on the bench. Coufal has covid, DCL’s game is off, and they got 1 point between them. Alonso got 6. That makes me a -9 on my hit. Cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouUnastanFren Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Talking of the cup, in the overall cup my s**thouse of an opponent played his FH and ended up with a similar team to me except for a few extra DGW players. Looked almost certainly out but thankfully one of them was the Brentford keeper who has just scored an OG and conceded 4. Back in the balance now. Need a Dawson goal to swing it really.

Stevo985 Posted January 11, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 11, 2022 That Broja goal was very very welcome. Puts me on a green arrow for the week so far. The West Ham boys should cement that tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted January 12, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2022 West Ham boys putting me up to 86 for the week and a nice 23k green back to top 50k. Finally ending the 4 weeks of red. Hoped to have been a bit better and be a bit closer to 100 points but seems to have been a bad week all round. Think I'm definitely using FH this week as team's decimated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouUnastanFren Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Went against my standard tactic of only having defenders who attack in open play and chose a Dawson instead of a Coufal because of his xG and it has ended up costing me 5 points and an overall cup round win. Still 82 and a small green arrow with no hits so not dreadful, no clue what I'm doing for the weekend though. Most of the doubles are very unappealing. I really don't want another United player if I can help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it my imagination or are this week's DGW options pretty s***? You can't really plan ahead these days but in my mind this was a potential freehit week but there are **** all players with doubles that I'd even want to bring in. Watford have the easiest fixtures but only 2 viable FPL players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watford have the easiest fixtures but only 2 viable FPL players. It is not your imagination. It's quite difficult to get a cracking all doubles free hit team, and that's ignoring some very good single game fixtures like Everton, Liverpool and West Ham. And even that ignores the possibility your final team may suffer cancellations. So yeah it's not at all a desireable free hit for me. I've gone from free hitting to minus 8 to now maybe just replacing Son and going with my good singles. The likes of Pickford, Bowen, Jota & Antonio (all of whom I own...) may end up out-scoring anyone I bring in. Unless something changes, it's Son to Maddison for me and that's that.

Stevo985 Posted January 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 13, 2022 I think I'm still free hitting but it's quite an unappealing free hit. Son being injured and Liverpool no longer doubling makes it pretty flat. But currently I only have one player who doubles (Alonso) and quite a few flags so I think I'm forced into it. Ended up with a decent week this week. 30k green arrow. Just wish I'd captained Bowen instead of Antonio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-k Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Need to use my FT wisely this week so that I can save next GW's to allow for only a -4 to bring in Salah, Digne, and Coutinho for GW24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wish I'd captained Bowen instead of Antonio I’ve got one double (Kane) right now, but I’m keeping both free hits and gambling that they’ll come in handy later in the season when there will hopefully be the opportunity to bring in better players for better games. I’m going to take a minus 8 to bring me up to 4 doublers and cross my fingers that all the popular picks (Maddison, Moura & co!) blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Much enjoyed shutting FPL out and not thinking about it since the last deadline. Checked my score to see a nice 87 points and a big fat green arrow which makes a nice change. Then I remember Salah, Son, James and Livramento are all flagged and I don't know what to do. Might just have to use my 2nd free hit because I really cba figuring out a proper plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
