The Mané event….
Sometimes it’s all about nailing your captain and everything else just falls into place. We voted for Mané and we ignored the rumours flying around and the game’s most in form player did us proud. He scored, he assisted, he collected maximum bonus points for a 13pt return. We even had a last minute vote to double check that we were all comfortable sticking with him; and it was fairly unanimous, we even decided to do so on the basis that he would be a differential come the deadline! Doubled to 26 he alone outscored some teams we saw posted on the boards. Digne’s clean sheet and Anderson’s assist were our only other scorers! The former being a particularly welcome and unexpected surprise.
We played with just 10 players but our score of 50 (net 46) saw us comfortably beat the average of 26 and produced a welcome green arrow as we enter DGW territory with all our Chips intact.
Our rank is 22,479 and we are confident of a strong finish.
Last week’s result…
Before we get going on this weeks decision we should remind you that;
THIS WEEKS DEADLINE IS ON SATURDAY 30TH MARCH @ 11:30
This week’s transfer decision…
To confirm we have played our FREE HIT CHIP
We just thought we’d get that out of the way early doors as we usually begin with a review of what budget we had and how many free transfers there are to play with. The answer to the first is still relevant though, just in a different way than usual, in that our Team Value was £103.1m. Not ‘Kane’ high, but not particularly paltry either. Fun fact apropos nothing; the highest TV is an eye-watering £113.9m (albeit it’s deliberately manufactured with a ‘price capture only’ team).
To reiterate our previously laid plans then, we still intend to follow the path of;
– FH32
– GW33 sees our GW31 team return with all those ‘blankers’ in it
– WC34
– BB35
– TC whenever else we see fit
With the formalities out of the way, onto our FH decisions. We won’t go over every single one as many are ‘givens’; the likes of Sterling, Kun, Hazard, Pogba and some defensive combo of Man City / Chelsea / Man United were almost inevitable, and make up the bedrock of 90% of FH teams we are seeing in the comments.
But the devil is often in the detail and so we shall touch briefly on that;
Kane / Higuain – We’d have happily had one or both but in all honesty either one simply meant too many compromises elsewhere for us. Give us an extra couple of mil and we probably could have worked one in, and almost certainly would have done. We had a core though and didn’t want to budge on those.
Rashford / Batshuayi – Given the above we decided on a front line of Kun + 2 mid-priced options to enable our fairly standard FH midfield of Hazard, Sterling, Pogba and Milivo’pen’vic plus the fairly standard FH defence we previously mentioned.
Bats has been on (relatively) fine form since he joined and he carried that on with Belgium over the International Break and is still hugely budget friendly. Rashford’s stock was bumped up by the news that Lukaku looks like he may remain out for a few weeks, therefore pushing Marcus back up into the No. 9 position he flourished in under Ole at the start of his reign (of defiant friendliness). On his ‘yellow flag / injury status’ we have heard good things which suggest he is fine and dandy, should Ole reveal otherwise in his press conference on Friday we shall of course look for a replacement; ooooh… the luxury of a FH and all that.
The defence – This was always just a case of juggling which / how many ‘premium’ ones we could fit in, given the favourable fixtures for all of Chelsea and both Manchester clubs. In the end we settled on a full set of them including a double up on Chelsea. What could possibly go wrong…
Our Captain is Aguero, our Vice is Sterling
Split this one if you may, we genuinely couldn’t. But obviously did, but probably with no real reason.

To kane or not to Kane. That is the question. Maxwell as 1,2 or 3.
Here’s 1
Number 2
Finally 3. This FH is driving me crazy
3 for me
You think Laporte is nailed for 2 games? read somewhere Kompany was fit again
Not sure about that. Now thinking he might not be as had hamstring injury recently. All the City defenders are back now I think
Maxwell???? WTF love autotext. supposed to say aswell!
Hi all
Any advice on my free hit team welcomed. Not sure I can afford a better team. O.3 ITB
Kepa
Laporte Lindelof Wan B
Hazard Pogba Sterling Deulofeu
Augero Higuain Batsyuahi
Can you do Higuain to Rashford and Deulofeu to Silva? Lose Laporte in the process? I like it as it is but might be slightly better depending on whether you prefer Laporte or Silva as the third City attacker!
I can, just not sure on Silva is worth having, but Deulofeu is a risk as well.
Suremy Silva is miles better than Deulofeu, he has a lot higher ceiling, but yeah I can see the counter argument, I’m currently pondering on that as well, Laporte or Silva…
Who would you have instead of Laporte? Double Chelsea defence?
Yes!
Guys I think I’m going to leave it at this now. Any glaring mistakes?
No, that’s a great TCAFH right there!!! I like it!!! (Triple City Attack Free Hit) I assume nothing in the bank?
Cheers Zed. Yeah FH with 0 itb.
Yeah I like it, I haven’t decided myself yet on Silva or Laporte, but I am liking triple City attack with those fixtures!!
I suppose the only issue is rotation with City, but may still be worth the risk, I think I’d rather have an attacker than a defender though.
Yeah I like this a lot. I’m 0.1 short of it
What do you guys think??
Phoenix
There’s loads of ways to play this free hit but as with a couple of others earlier, I’m wondering whether a triple City attack is the way ahead.
If Alonso came down to say, Dunk, and Ederson became a cheaper keeper, could that allow you Milivojevic to David Silva or Sane?
Why is rotation risk with KDB and Fernandinho coming back not more of a concern?
It will always be a risk a Manchester City though. I think the fixtures warrant three players and arguably all should be midfielders or attackers.
Hi people! This my ‘non FH’, bruised and battered team for this week! Taken a -4 already but any moves I should be looking at with the injuries I’ve got?
Probably gonna TC Kun but tempted by Sterling too!?
Also fancy Deulofeu against Fulham but worth dropping anyone for him?
Cheers
RedKev,
I reckon you should leave that (barring anyone definitely being ruled out – which I haven’t heard yet).
TC on Aguero and Sterling and you’ve got to expect something! Who you go for is down to your own personal feeling really.
Cheers GP! Deulofeu stays on the bench then yeah…. reckon TAA or Bednarek as 1st choice defender cover?
I think so and probably TAA first.
Think I’m torn between two teams. It’s whether to go with triple City attack
The first one seems better to me, I think I am more torn than you between Triple City attack and a City defender because I have lower TV and thus having Silva (can’t afford Sane) makes my defense look rather bad, I’d have to have double Palace defense for instance, whereas your Triple City Attack has a great defense too! For you I think it boils down to how much more you prefer Higuain to Bats, I will have Bats anyway!
I’d prefer Bats to Milovejevic. I’m not convinced by Higuain and Chelsea’s ability to score goals. But Sane is a risk
In that case I’d take the risk for Sane! You have all the template players and it’s ok, even great, to have one differential in there with potential to explode, even if Sane doesn nothing you can have a good GW, if you compare that team to other FH teams the difference is very small. Mili can as easily blank but he has no high ceiling, whereas Sane has very high ceiling! Your defense won’t be any worse than most of the FH teams either with Sane in the team imo, so it’s a risk that can succeed easily but can’t go too wrong… If I were you I’d probably take the risk!
Whereas with me having Silva means I don’t have as good defense as most FH teams (here at least), as I’d have double Palace defense, which can go wrong if Hudds score, so it’s more risky for me I think!
You could be right
