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.
Our team in full…

Thoughts on this?
Looks decent, very template, then again that should be a good thing as not so many are free hitting this GW after all, Milivojevic is the only concern there, I would perhaps prefer Azpilicueta to Mili in a 4-3-3, how do you think?
Sorry you have Azpi already, then either Luiz or Kepa instead of Ederson and Laporte instead of Mili… 4-3-3
Looks good to me
Morning all,
Thoughts on this FH team?
Hudson won’t even play? In your starting?
Hey guys FH team no…..I have lost count now! Narrowed it down to these three teams. A) B) or C)
Currently langushing mid table in my ML so trying to take a balanced approach in terms of punts and template team.
Third team
First team 3 mancity attack being the differential. Second team sacrificing a decent gk to bring in Higuain and the third with Kane in the team
gaz
First one for me I think.
HazK
Hudson-Odoi will surely feature more now that England appears to have found an international player in him
I think that’s a very decent team.
I’m expecting Hudson to begin starting games soon just not sure it will be this GW
The lack of Watford is kind of concerning? Why no Watford love? I have Deeney and Deaulofeaueaua.
Rotation risk ahead of the fa cup fixture playing a big part i think
+1 Just feel there are better alternatives that’s all

I commented on the above thread which turned in to a bit of a farce
Team A for me, gaz
So this is my first attempt at my FH. Any thoughts?
Yeah, that’s the template! Looks good! That’s my Triple City Attack draft with the exception that I have to go Schlupp instead of Azpi because of lower team value!
Are you convinced that Silva is a better option than Ederson/Laporte?
Not at all, that’s the last piece of my FH puzzle as well at the moment, don’t really know which way to go, it all depends on your team value, for me Silva means double Palace defense which isn’t ideal: Silva/Wan Bissaka or Laporte/Azpilicueta…You have Azpi anyway with Silva, so you can have Silva/Azpi, and I think that’s something I’d take any day, whereas I need to choose between Silva/Bissaka and Laporte/Azpi…
Yep same boat. Think; Silva if you need a differential / playing catch up – riskier option. Laporte/Ederson if you’re already leading/near the top – safe option. I’m playing catch up so opting for Silva.
I’m playing for OR rather than mini leagues so I think I’ll risk Silva.
I think I’ll risk Silva too, it’s more fun to cheer for goals in a double rather than hoping for cleanies, and Silva should grab a few if those City fixtures turn into goal fests (which they easily could) :thumbup:
Brilliant Kop,
You’re the guy at school who didn’t study for any exams, turned up, borrowed a pen, scratched his arse and got an A+
Perfection there.
In fairness GP, I have been reading plenty of comments on here
Ah well you’re screwed like the rest of us then.
Yeah it shows 🙂
At least I won’t feel the need to blame myself when it goes tits up!
Looks fine to me Kop. Who needs all this planning hey
Not worth dropping Smalling for Lindelof and WB to Schlupp as he’s OOP?
I might yet get Schlupp. Cheers
I’d do that as well, Schlupp is in my team regardless, he’s my other Palace def
Pretty much my current draft and I’ve only spent 2 weeks and. Million drafts to get there!!
He’s just copying us all 😉
Experience for you
If there’s an easy way out I’ll take it
Just don’t forget to actually press ‘Play Free Hit’. I know you well….
:big-lol:
+ 1. i can vouch for that, lol i remember telling rosco to forward a message onto you last year where i saw you had done 6 transfers and got worried that you forgot to press the WC button.
Chip update…
Reinforces my decision to captain Kun, because that’s where most of those will be going.
#alwayscaptainaguero
Agree there.
Aguero started both in GW25 whereas Sterling didn’t, don’t know whether that has anything to do with it but perhaps goes to show that Aguero is a bit more likely to start both again, although I believe both of them will only start one game…
Who’s your armband on Zed?
Who’s yours? :big-lol: It’s been on Sterling at the moment, but now I’m thinking maybe Hazard to be differential, Hazard most nailed of the three (Aguero, Sterling, Hazard) to play both games too… Not quite decided yet.
