103 points this week. Branthwaite cost me -1 but everyone else chipped in! I should have captained Palmer (and I was tempted to) but stuck with Haaland instead. I lucked out with Gordon, Isak and Schar though. I knew my boys would sort me out.

Getting over a 100 points is awesome I reckon. thumbup

I only ended up with 59 points because I captained Salah. I did have Palmer as vice captain though, so I'm obviously a bit frustrated that I didn't go with him now, plus he has done me proud as captain over the last few weeks too.

Ended up on 82 which I was fine with considering. The chase for the top of mini league lead is cut to 11 points and feels a really crucial week coming up with me playing free hit and I am wondering if he will play wildcard or triple captain on Salah? I may need to take a captain risk try overtake..

Absolute disaster, 28 points on a WildCard, which pretty much consigns me as unable to win the last remaining mini league I was in with a vague chance of winning. It has set me up for the remainder of the season but still quite galling. Some very unpredictable results - Palace beating Liverpool away whilst keeping a clean sheet giving me 17 points on my bench between Henderson and Anderson particularly hurts.
Bloody game! bangheadlaugh

I'm going to leave both Foden and Haaland on the bench this gameweek, but I'm not sure if I'm brave or stupid doing that though?! hehe

Are you replacing them with players who have a double game week? if so that might be a safe bet...

I am taking them both out for DGW on free hit. Fortune favours the brave and all that!

Anyone else thinking of not captaining Salah this week? Liverpool have decent fixtures but are not playing well.

I was meant to bench boost this week.

Urgh. So much for that plan.

Yup. I’m debating not Free hitting too but a) I don’t think I’m that brave and b) I’ve still got BB, FH and TC and quite frankly I’m running out of weeks.

I had a rolled over FT this week and have made two changes to my team. Later tonight or tomorrow I’m going to FH for this week.

When my team reverts for next week should it include the 2 changes I’ve already made before free hitting or have I screwed that up?

Are you sure? I thought Free Hit and Wildcard override any weekly transfers? Bit annoying if you are right as I had 2 free transfers and have just used my Free Hit!

I've gone all-in on double gameweek players, fully expecting it to be a complete disaster biglaugh

No they won't, the transfers you made earlier in the week will be considered as part of the FH. You also only end up with 1 free transfer next week instead of 2.

Already used my Free Hit five weeks ago so it was with a shudder that I opened the app yesterday to find two reds, two oranges and two yellows.

Have made three changes this week costing myself four points and now I have a team that at least looks better with six DGW's and four others that should play, Haaland being the doubt.

Well that’s st but I guess I’ll have to make it work.

Now to figure out the Free Hit combo. I’m not convinced by the Salah captaincy option and I’m finding it hard to ignore Fernandes even though he’s only got a single fixture
