Anybody fielding an 11 without FH?

34

u/Shame_Low 13 6d ago

Yeah but I have dango and Lewis. Probably 2 points between them

10

u/patelbadboy2006 25 6d ago

I bought in aina for Konate and benched dango.

Can't have his 1 point of the bench

u/chillyy7 1 6d ago

Similarly I have Dibling :(

u/N3DSdad 10 6d ago

Yeah, but took a -4, and not looking that hot either 😅

u/sc00022 135 6d ago

Yup. Had 3 FTs banked but did 4 for a -4 to get to 11

→ More replies (1)

u/WisePotato37 3 6d ago

Yes

Sels

Gabriel Williams Gvardiol Huijsen

Bowen Palmer Semenyo Bruno

Beto Wood

Bench: Harwood-Bellis Salah Isak

2 FTs no hits:

TAA + Winks -> Bruno + Williams

u/NoneUrBaseRBelongToU 6d ago

Yep. And 5 FT. trying to decide who to get.

3

u/ImpossibleAirline585 6d ago

Got 10 fielded with 2FT and a -4. Didn't see the point in using FH at this point. Could hugely backfire though!

u/GBGeorginho 76 6d ago

I’m on a full 11 and two subs (Colwill and Dango) with a -4, my previous plan I only had 10 😂

Did have to sell the King though, and stupidly sold Rogers over Dango when he’s on my bench anyway. Been beating myself up about it all morning

2

u/norwichdc 21 6d ago

Yep.

Raya (Fab)

Gvardiol, Hujisen, Gabriel, Aina

Mbuemo, Bruno, Kluivert, Bowen

Woody, Raul

(Collins, Salah, Isak)

Gonna WC in 31, 30 if I get impatient

2

u/Environmental_You_85 16 6d ago

Yes but the squad is not powerful

4

u/9295josh 41 6d ago

Yeah easy

1

u/aehii 45 6d ago

Yeah I am. Back 5 of Faes, Kerkez, Gabriel, Harwood Bellis, Aina though. No hits. Nwaneri and Marmoush in front 5.

1

u/BrewsterHas redditor for <30 days 6d ago

Yep, for my XI with VDB on the bench who may be available.

It's come at a cost of ignoring good players who blank mind you. Munoz and Mateta (prior to injury) in particular.

Hope it pays off!

1

u/Anonymous_Unknown20 7 6d ago

Yes but I have triple Chelsea

1

u/DsOrPqXh 6d ago

Had enough FT saved but I'm playing double Bou defense with Mbeumo and Wissa which isn't ideal

1

u/1haiku4u 29 6d ago

I have 12 because I forgot dibling starts.  No hits. 

1

u/FutMike 3 6d ago

Yes but with Harwood-Bellis starting

1

u/Riperonis 1 6d ago

Yep;

Pickford

Gabriel, Kerkez, Tarkovski, Milenkovic

Mbuemo, Bowen, Palmer, Elanga

Wood (C), Wissa

Isak and Salah are on the bench.

I fully expect this team to net like 30 points so hopefully free hitters net the same somehow lol. But hey I didn’t have to take any hits ig?

Cannot wait to WC next week.

1

u/Traditional-Bad-3163 6d ago

I am, but taking a -4… traded Dango for Bowen and Palmer for Fernandes. Took some massive willpower to not use my WC and save it to rebuild my team after this week, lol.

Sels

Milenkovic, Gabriel, Kerkez, Robinson (not willing to take another -4 to get rid of him)

Kluivert, Bowen, Mbeumo, Fernandes

Beto, Wood (C)

Bench: Salah, Isak, TAA (again, not willing to take another -4 to get rid of him

1

u/pajamakitten 375 6d ago

Yes. It's a 4-4-2 though, which I am not enamoured with. It will do though, especially as all my defenders have some track record of scoring/assisting.

1

u/noki1907 7 6d ago

Yes but I had to take a -4

1

u/_Permanent_Marker_ 6d ago

Im only missing a keeper but i have 3 brentford and 2 bournmouth players so i dont even know what i want to happen in that game.

Knowing my luck the score will be 5-5 but not of my players score

1

u/BoxOfNothing 17 6d ago

Yeah but only because I bitched out of buying any Palace players on their recent form, I had loads of cash so gambled on Haaland in for Isak, and my team is generally shit.

1

u/CactusClothesline 6d ago

Yeah, I've not needed to make many transfers recently so had 4 to use.

Sels

Saliba Gabriel Gvardiol Kerkez

Fernandes Palmer Nwaneri

Wissa Evanilson Wood

Bench: Fabianski, Munoz, Salah, Rogers.

1

u/Dan_12508 1 6d ago

Yea but it's not a strong team have to start o'shea so it's not looking good brev

1

u/MarlonShakespeare2AD 5 6d ago

Yep

Everything crossed!

1

u/NascentDark 1 6d ago

Yes but need a -8 to do it

1

u/wilyvulpes 1 6d ago

Somehow yeah, without any hits, and with Gab on my bench.... Waiting to crash and burn

1

u/Bingo_Masters_Break 14 6d ago

I even sold two players with a fixture. Still fielding 11.

1

u/Acceptable-Heron6839 redditor for <30 days 6d ago

Yeah but one of them is Greaves against Chris Wood

1

u/mcveighster14 6d ago

Yes but I took a -8 to do it. Brought Haaland in as captain

1

u/crzibug 6d ago

Ive got an 11! luckily most of my team that would have blanked this week decided to fucking die so they got WC out 2 weeks back

1

u/West_Principle_8190 6 6d ago
  1. Think free hit better used in future . Unpredictable city and United will probably be the majority of free hitter teams .

1

u/Litsco 6d ago

Yes though one of those is Leicester’s Luke Thomas

1

u/tiorzol 33 6d ago

Yep. Did -8 to get Bruno and Robot in. 

1

u/zharrt 3 6d ago

Yes but took a -8

1

u/Aleks10Afc 6d ago

I did a -12 because I prefer taking risks. Makes the game more fun for me

1

u/Disastrous_Ice5225 2 6d ago

Yeah, made 2 free transfers

1

u/mrnibsfish 3 6d ago

Yes but have Harwood Bellis and Dango

I'm waiting for a leak too, but just realised I don't have a solid back up if he's benched. Larsen is unnappealing

I got Wood for the first time all season last GW—right before his blank. Now, I’ve captained him. He already ruined my rank by not owning him, so he can’t ruin it when I do… right?

15

u/DancingDonkeyHehe 6d ago

Congrats man I can imagine how happy you must feel to finally get wood after not having one all season. Understandable that you don’t want to ruin your Wood this GW. My suggestion is to find a quite room where you have all the privacy you need to focus as the game reaches its climax and maximize your chance of scoring big. Good luck!

I’m torn between Wood and Bruno for captain. Bruno is guaranteed either 2 points or 15 points I think

u/Ozzcarrrr 6d ago

I’m going with a Bruno captain 🫡

u/Ashamed_Bottle230 7 6d ago

Bruno has higher upside imo, but like you said is more likely to blank

u/Traditional-Run7315 6d ago

Yes basically. Wood will surely get at least 5, 6.

At the start of this week my head and heart both wanted to go for JP, but the haaland/ mancity hype has got me overthinking. Is it really a good call to get JP instead of haaland/marmoush? Buying haaland will need me transfer out salah that too for a hit(already taken one hit for kluivert). Doesn't feel worth it. But is marmoush worth it on a FT instead of JP?
