Means I could get Son & Mount in midfield and downgrade Doherty to a playing but muck defender for 36. Hmmm. But no Salah. Hmmm KDB probably has better fixtures but that to me makes me worry about Pep roulette even more. With the run in so tight you'd expect him to play but they have ridiculous depth and will want Europe too. Salah starts every game I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm not that concerned about roulette where KDB is concerned, precisely because the title race is so tight. Pep needs KDB in every game. If they were home & hosed then yeah I'd be worried he'd be saved for CL, but resting him once in the league could be disastrous for Pep. My only worry is the inevitable Salah haul. Thankfully I can only do the Son swap for this week, so I'll have a bit more data to go on for next week and the week after, where I would be doing the Salah/KDB swap if I was.

I'm not so sure he will play every game. The quality and depth they have is ridiculous and their opposition isn't that great. I can see Pep resting him at times irregardless of the league title.

Stevo985 Posted April 12, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 12, 2022 So... Free Hit this week? I'm getting cold feet again. However last time that happened in GW30 my Free Hit worked out very well indeed. I think once again I'm forced into it anyway given that I'm not that well set up for this week anyway.

AndyM3000 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) Big CL games & FA Cup semi finals up now. Could see a few key players rested in the follow mid week fixtures. Something to considering when free hitting. Edited April 12, 2022 by AndyM3000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappy Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Ended up with a 12k red arrow to 65k which feels fine considering I didn’t have Son or Kulusevski. KDB captain and Pukki came through for me in terms of rank protection, had dropped 50k places on Saturday evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Just taken a -8 including changing my keeper and bringing in a DGW defender I’ve left on the bench. Also captained Cornet. Red arrow incoming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2022 Not a good start to the free hit. Not going with Ronaldo hurts. Seems so stupid to have kept Kane on the FH now when that’s an easy swap. Oh well. Plenty of games to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarrely as I'd seen rumours he wasn't going to start against Norwich. I also brought Bruno in which wasn't great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouUnastanFren Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Pretty much everyone else in my team has blanked so far but captaining Ronaldo alone has made the FH worth it. I could only fit one of Kane and Salah in with CR and Bruno and I picked Kane, hopefully Salah doesn't make me regret that too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted April 21, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) Disaster of a Free Hit for me. I effectively had 20 players playing and got a grand total of two returns. Salah and Cancelo. Everybody else blanked bar a save point from Schmeichel. On a tiny red arrow at the moment, which is a minor miracle in itself, but I can't imagine my score is much more, if at all, than my score would have been if I'd kept my normal team Edit: I've done the maths. I've made a 12 point gain vs my non-freehit team on the assumption I'd have captained Kane, which I think I would have. I guess that's not the end of the world but certainly not the sort of gains I'd have been expecting. -5 on the Free Hit if I'd captained Salah Edited April 21, 2022 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted April 22, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted April 22, 2022 The FH took me back up to 83k but somewhat disappointing as could have been a lot better. Bruno was an expensive waste of a pick made worse by making him captain and not Salah or Ronnie. I've wildcarded and have BB to go so hopefully can get back to top 50k. Having been top 15k relatively recently though might haunt me as what could have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
