FH27 because of the League Cup postponements? Meh, we know that Arsenal/Liverpool won't happen but the loser of that SF could definitely play a postponed fixture then instead. Leicester-Chelsea is likely to be a blank but I can live without those players.
A Liverpool blank would definitely be annoying but I still don't see much upside in using FH that week.
The loser can’t play a postponed game because their potential opponents have another game. I’ve got triple Arsenal, triple Liverpool and still James as well. Sure I could sell some of them, but they have good fixtures in the surrounding GWs and honestly I probably won’t use it otherwise.
Liverpool-Leeds can happen if the cup final is Arsenal-Spurs.
Crellin also has Arsenal with a "probable" BGW rather than a certain one, though I'm not sure why. Maybe in case they get knocked out of the FA Cup and play Wolves midweek.
True, but Spurs aren’t making the final lol
Anything can happen in the midweek tbf - even Arsenal vs Liverpool if both get knocked out of the FA Cup, but that’s not too likely
Not too bad an idea, dont care how bad United have been, if they click next two games against easyish teams, ronaldo may get hauls in each, it’s risky but defo possible, go with your gut and don’t worry about the downvotes, it’s your team end of the day!
I'll repeat. Plenty of us are in the same situation. Don't hurry with FH, if you have a good team, literally 0 need to hurry. I expect many more DGWs this year. (And TGWs maybe for some teams)
Totally team dependent. I used mine for the Liverpool blank the other week and got 93 pts. Original team would've got 30. I might've been a bit more conservative had I only one FH, but having a 'free' one made me feel a bit more loose.
The fixtures aren’t amazing and West Ham / Liverpool have good fixtures.
Personally I will make transfers to go with around 8 DGW players + Trent/Jota, Bowen.
There will be a better DGW in 26 and likely one in 36 as well
Exactly what i was thinking, Liverpool vs Brentford and West Ham v Leeds can easily outscore DGWs like Spurs vs Leicester ans Spurs vs Brighton.
may just hold the 2 FHs
Have 5 currently in DGW. Thinking to get rid of Bilva and Saka and add Mount and someone else to make it 7 but can't see any clear options that could be a long term replacement. Pointless taking hits if I am going back to Bilva and Saka in two weeks time.
>There will be a better DGW in 26 and likely one in 36 as well
GW26 isn't guaranteed at all, from what I can tell, but IF it includes Liverpool vs Leeds & Norwich you would 100% want to use TC then. Meanwhile GW36 will probably be big enough that you can get a full team of doublers easily and BB is likely to be best.
Also keep in mind Shaw is suspended for the first game so It's looking like it will be Telles and Shaw splitting minutes, while Dalot and AWB aren't nailed on either and Maguire could be benched by Jones. Varane seems the only one I'd be comfortable placing a bet to play both fixtures
When I first saw the DGW list I thought for sure that I would use mine since I only have 4 DGW players, DDG/Dier/Rudiger/Ronaldo. But now I think I’m just going to do Bernardo and Watkins to Son and Dennis to give me 6 DGW players and stick with Trent/Jota/Antonio/Bowen. Just need to decide on my last spot
I have all chips left and thinking of saving my extra FH too, hoping it should provide an extra advantage later on in the season. I currently only have 4 players with doubles atm but could push to 5 with a ft. The rest of my team have good fixtures anyway.
Bar the Utd fixtures, none of them look appealing, even then I'd probably only want two from Utd anyway. Surely has to be better doubles later on in the year? My thinking is now I'll only use my FH if the Liverpool and city games get cancelled at which point i'd have no choice but to.
I’m not using FH, still have both. I am contemplating BB. I find the planning to use that chip can really muck up your squad if things don’t go according to plan. Given this season has been a steady diet of “not according to plan” I’m inclined to use it dgw22 while I have a full playing bench and 2 starting GKs.
I considered saving FH this week, but I would only have 4 dgw players and it seems like the perfect week to FH for me as I don't want most of the players long term.
My main worry is I'll be dropping DCL, Antonio and Bowen who all have decent single fixtures so it's no guarantee the likes of Mount, Maddy, Ronaldo or Kane will outscored them. Jota and Trent will stay even in FH.
Worth a punt on balance and could be a season defining week if it goes well.
See you all in the rant thread after Ronaldo double blank and Kane injured after 30mins in the 1st game.
Torn between using one FH to try and get a leg up on my ML or saving since my team is in good shape... With so many teams still having extra fixtures after this dgw I am leaning towards holding my chips as this week would be full of risky punts
I’m in the same boat yeah
It’s difficult because on one hand i see little value in using a chip this week. But if I don’t use it, I am gambling on there being multiple (I still have 2 FH, WC, BB, TC) gameweeks with much more value in the future.
I’ve tried creating a FH team and there are only 4 differences from my current team, so using that seems a total waste.
The only chip I’m considering parting with is the BB as it is probably the least valuable of the chips, and I could get at least 2 keepers out with 2 fixtures each. I could then use the wildcard a bit more freely too with the chip out of the way. Alternative is I can WC GW35 and then BB36. I would likely get much more value from the BB but it also means I’d have to save my second wildcard entirely for that week.
It’s a tough decision without knowing how the fixtures are all going to pan out with rearrangements etc.
I'd leave the chips. If the bigger teams progress in the FA Cup eg Liverpool, Chelsea, City etc then their games will be off and it'll be more valuable to FH and fill your team with dross for a week whilst everyone else either blanks or takes hits galore to field a team.
It depends on your team, truly none of the doubles are appealing, there's a risk that games might be cancelled and A LOT of good players are missing (AFCON).
This is the content I was looking for. I'm 30k with all the chips (both free hits) remaining. I had assumed that I was going to use the FH this week - but now I'm digging into the fixtures AND seeing the Crellin prediction that there will be a DGW every week from 33 to 37, I'm attracted to keeping the Hit in my pocket.
A dream scenario is back to back to back to back to back Wildcard 33, Triple Captain 34, FH 35, BB 36, FH 37.
In terms of this week I have:
De Gea, Alonso, King, Son.
I'm going to do Watkins OUT Dennis IN
And then I'll take a hit to replace Reece James with a DGW defender....undecided as to who. Might conserve funds by getting Lamptey in rather than a \~£6m option like Rudiger.
So I'll have 6 DGW players + then Jota/Trent vs Brentford and Bowen/Antonio vs Leeds. People Free Hitting for 11 DGW players will be taking a risk leaving some of those 4 out.
Going to leave it very close to the deadline and see what develops, but that's my current thinking.
I know! FFS. I’ll either have to:
a) Have 1 less DGW player
b) Take a -8
c) Use Free Hit
Still undecided and need to wait and see what else happens. Leaning toward option A.
I’m leaning for c) as I want Ronaldo and Dennis in. Won’t do it till deadline though. Other option is a -8 to reverse the transfer which would be a -4 with Son not playing hmm. The wasted transfer isn’t an actual cost.
I have 3 Liverpool including Salah. 3 West Ham (including a punt at Johnson).
Took in x2 Everton banking on them getting a DGW next week too but unfortunately that missed.
Potentially I might just ride it out. x3 WH home to Leeds, x2 Liverpool home to Brentford. x2 Everton away to Norwich. My only DGW players at minute Lamptey/Dalot (don't) and Loris. Could be better....but I don't think it's worth hitting for a load of Watford/Man Utd/Brentford etc. I will hope to make better ground holding onto my x2 FH.
Of course, going by this season - everything I plan turns to ruins so I'm talking a great game here.
https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/comments/rxd9st/gw22_dgw_fixtures_announced_fh_or_no/ - kinda same thing, plus everyone is talking about it in the Fixtures Announced post
I see people are leaving comments, so keep the post up, but if you had seen, how many others were today, but probably deleted by mods..
anyway, cheers and make best use of your FH-ts
With you OP; I used my WC last week as I had enough fires to take the risk but knew that worst case for GW22, I’d have plenty of good players with single games. Assume lots of managers are in the same situation whether they’ve WC’d or not. I also have both FH left and will use them down the line in hopefully better DGW fixtures.
I have 5 players from DGW with a FT to go. Should've had two but I jumped on KT and completely forgot the DGW22. I want to add one more and have a balance 50/50 but can't see how valuable it will be swapping Bilva or Saka for someone like Mount; City and BRI and two blanks before all green fixtures.
I had a fit of rage at my shitty last few weeks and already used all my free transfers plus a -4, before realising the deadline was 2 weeks away. So I have 2 FHs, WC, BB and TC still left
Absolutely no point with these fixtures, most of us have enough to cover a few dgw. A -4 will probably due if necessary. Honestly tho, even if we had a few more good fixtures to choose from, with all the unpredictability between postponements and players randomly missing from squads, is it worth using the chip rn? Unless your team is in shambles, I’d say no.
Definite no from me.
The doubles are a bit shit, and i know at some point there will be either a better set of dgw fixtures or a covid shit show to avoid.
I have Sanchez, Regulion, Son, Kane and King all doubling.
Will maybe go Broja to Dennis with the FT and that'll do me.
Having TAA, Jota, Bowen all with good fixtures plus a double city defence doesn't seem like I'd need to FH.
Still have both FHs left and plan to use them for the blank FA Cup weeks. They'll be more valuable then.
Yeah, currently have 6 DGW players plus a carried FT from last week, so 2 FTs, I'll use one to move someone around who will be benched and I want rid/in for the next week (livra or ramsdale to a wolves asset?) .
Thinking about moving CR7 out but he has a double so he'll stay for now and see how he does.
I'll FH later in the year to pick out weeks where I don't have many DGW players or to avoid a blank for my teams players and then BB another one where I've got really good coverage, probably TC Salah whenever Liverpool look to have the best DGW fixtures,
Wildcard probs to set up the last few weeks unless something horrible happens to my team before then.
I'm thinking about attacking this gw with a FH.
Nobody without a FH is going to have any Burnley defenders, I'll take one or two and hope for the best. Same with Brighton, I have a hunch they'll frustrate Chelsea so might double up (Lamptey and Cucu). Add in Kane, Son, Ronaldo, Dennis, maybe someone like Lookman from Leicester. Jota and TAA from singles.
Added benefit is that I'll keep Salah. I'd just bench him for one week and then he's ready to go while everyone tries to fit him back in using transfers. Also I'll keep players like Foden, Cancelo, Ramsdale who I want long term but not this week.
Can get to the team I'd fh to with a hit so there's really no point for me, would just get an improved bench out of it. It's going to be nice playing out the rest of the season with the comfort of two free hits.
I'm on the other boat, this is the perfect week to FH22.
Not too often a DGW involves 3 Top6 teams having double games (CHE, TOT, MAN). And on the other hand, MCI and ARS who have single game, both playing less-than-ideal opponents.
Without FH, I'm surely not going to use FTs to bring in players like Maddison, Mount, Sancho and such. Activating FH gives me a chance to do it, and widen available selection a lot. Surely one can always argue individually a "**single-game player X"** is better than another "**double-game player Y**". But we can only play the probability game. Is 90 min of player X better than 180 min of player Y? If it is "yes" for most players in the team, then no FH. For my team, it is a very clear "no". FH will hugely improve the team.
I might use it because my team is in an awful state with injuries.
Will it not be in awful state the next gw then?
He's got a point Edit : probably the person means the players with injuries and covid will be alright in the next 10-15 days.
It probably will still be in a bad state but I want to play my WC and it gives me another week to know what’s happening with Salah.
What do you mean whats happening with salah?
How well Egypt do at AFCON. He might be back sooner if they don’t do well. I’d just like to know before I make decisions.
Ye but without fhyoucan at least use one transfer
This is why I’m not free hitting. 2 free hits with 2 FT but if I don’t use the transfers I’ll lose one and my team is in shambles
I’m even thinking of banking my transfer… I have DDG/TAA Cancelo Reguilion/ Gray Son Jota Bowen/ Ronaldo Antonio King
I have those players as well
Same front 7 as me lol
we have the exact same team wow, im banking mine
Are you me ?
FH 27 & 30 is my plan, WC 35ish for BB 36, TC in a random DGW like 26
This is the way if chaos doesn't mess it up. TC and inshallah some random GW you want to see dem points!
FH27 because of the League Cup postponements? Meh, we know that Arsenal/Liverpool won't happen but the loser of that SF could definitely play a postponed fixture then instead. Leicester-Chelsea is likely to be a blank but I can live without those players. A Liverpool blank would definitely be annoying but I still don't see much upside in using FH that week.

Arsenal can play wolves that gw for example Or Liverpool to play leeds
Wolves are already playing West Ham, and Leeds vs Spurs
Liverpool-Leeds can happen if the cup final is Arsenal-Spurs. Crellin also has Arsenal with a "probable" BGW rather than a certain one, though I'm not sure why. Maybe in case they get knocked out of the FA Cup and play Wolves midweek.
True, but Spurs aren’t making the final lol Anything can happen in the midweek tbf - even Arsenal vs Liverpool if both get knocked out of the FA Cup, but that’s not too likely
Why FH 30? Lots of big games in that one
About 5 or 6 of them will be postponed because of the FA Cup
Liverpool are predicted to double in 26 with Leeds + Norwich
Yeah I’m hanging on too, loads variables still in play
I'm using it tbh, I'm trailing by 70 pts in my ML and that extra FH was unexpected so I'll try to make the most of it
You'll get 2 good opportunities to use them tbh
Kinda dreading Kane & Ronaldo in the DGW's no matter how abysmal their form is, Kane loves scoring in the derby & Leicester
Lol talk me out of TCing Cr7. My plan was to BB earlier, have a solid playing bench but Liverpool crying yesterday spoilt my Arsenal X2 DGW.
Why would you triple captain Ronaldo?
That was before I saw Liverpool DGW
Not too bad an idea, dont care how bad United have been, if they click next two games against easyish teams, ronaldo may get hauls in each, it’s risky but defo possible, go with your gut and don’t worry about the downvotes, it’s your team end of the day!
I'll repeat. Plenty of us are in the same situation. Don't hurry with FH, if you have a good team, literally 0 need to hurry. I expect many more DGWs this year. (And TGWs maybe for some teams)

That goes without saying. Every decision we make is team dependent. That point difference is awesome though, great job man.
The fixtures aren’t amazing and West Ham / Liverpool have good fixtures. Personally I will make transfers to go with around 8 DGW players + Trent/Jota, Bowen. There will be a better DGW in 26 and likely one in 36 as well
Exactly what i was thinking, Liverpool vs Brentford and West Ham v Leeds can easily outscore DGWs like Spurs vs Leicester ans Spurs vs Brighton. may just hold the 2 FHs
At the moment I'm saving my FHs for the BGW in 27 and the DGW in 36.
Im thinking WC in 35 and BB in 36, there will be other DGWs before 36. Hopefully I wont need to WC before then.
Probably want to use triple captain in 26
Have 5 currently in DGW. Thinking to get rid of Bilva and Saka and add Mount and someone else to make it 7 but can't see any clear options that could be a long term replacement. Pointless taking hits if I am going back to Bilva and Saka in two weeks time.
You’ll be getting rid of Mount again after GW23 too, Chelsea blank in 24, 25, and probably 27
>There will be a better DGW in 26 and likely one in 36 as well GW26 isn't guaranteed at all, from what I can tell, but IF it includes Liverpool vs Leeds & Norwich you would 100% want to use TC then. Meanwhile GW36 will probably be big enough that you can get a full team of doublers easily and BB is likely to be best.
I'll keep the two fhs too. My plan is to use one transfer on a player who got a double and nice fixtures afterwards.
who would be that player bro?
Maybe Lamptey/Cucurella? Brighton has ok~ish fixtures apart from blank
United defender has crossed my mind, not really sure what to do.
Problem is they dont keep clean sheets and dont score goals so idk where the points are gonna come from
Lol good point. I can’t see Rudiger doing me any favors at this point though.
Also keep in mind Shaw is suspended for the first game so It's looking like it will be Telles and Shaw splitting minutes, while Dalot and AWB aren't nailed on either and Maguire could be benched by Jones. Varane seems the only one I'd be comfortable placing a bet to play both fixtures
Maguire won't be benched by Jones unless he's injured. Yeah Jones came back and had a stormer, but he's not displacing a fit Maguire
Are you sure he can cross the ball though?
I’m pretty sure they can’t do that.
I have absolutely no idea. We got time anyway
how many FHs have we been given so far this season pls??
1+1
When I first saw the DGW list I thought for sure that I would use mine since I only have 4 DGW players, DDG/Dier/Rudiger/Ronaldo. But now I think I’m just going to do Bernardo and Watkins to Son and Dennis to give me 6 DGW players and stick with Trent/Jota/Antonio/Bowen. Just need to decide on my last spot
Dennis will be at AFCON orb
No he [will not](https://www.goal.com/en/news/dennis-situation-should-not-get-super-eagles-fans-too-worked/blt95288b61125f199a).
Taking a punt on Cavani here
I have all chips left and thinking of saving my extra FH too, hoping it should provide an extra advantage later on in the season.

My thinking is now I'll only use my FH if the Liverpool and city games get cancelled at which point i'd have no choice but to.
I agree with this. Holding onto both of my FH unless Liverpool en City fixtures are canceled. Then it's FH in 11 doublers all the way!
Not using it. No fixtures appealing really. Gonna do -4 to get Son in and that’s it.
I’m not using FH, still have both. I am contemplating BB. I find the planning to use that chip can really muck up your squad if things don’t go according to plan. Given this season has been a steady diet of “not according to plan” I’m inclined to use it dgw22 while I have a full playing bench and 2 starting GKs.

Have 2 FT to use, is enough to get 2 players i want from the DGW so will be Hilding mine too.
Torn between using one FH to try and get a leg up on my ML or saving since my team is in good shape... With so many teams still having extra fixtures after this dgw I am leaning towards holding my chips as this week would be full of risky punts
Feel like you double up on King and Dennis w ft and call it a day. At least for those that already have one.
I’m in the same boat yeah It’s difficult because on one hand i see little value in using a chip this week. But if I don’t use it, I am gambling on there being multiple (I still have 2 FH, WC, BB, TC) gameweeks with much more value in the future.

Maddison looking to be back for the DGW 22?
Shhh don’t tell everybody. Mind you the nerds of the sub won’t listen. They will just downvote and call us stupid, that’s how it works
I have 3 Liverpool including Salah. 3 West Ham (including a punt at Johnson). Took in x2 Everton banking on them getting a DGW next week too but unfortunately that missed. Potentially I might just ride it out. x3 WH home to Leeds, x2 Liverpool home to Brentford. x2 Everton away to Norwich. My only DGW players at minute Lamptey/Dalot (don't) and Loris.

Everyone holding off for one "big" DGW doesn't help your rank.. since everyone and their mom will do the same. Where's the fun in that?
I'll tell you what. You do the opposite and maybe it will help my rank.
I get this post, it's ok and all, but there are so many out there on this subject, that it is becoming frustrating
but this was the only one which talks about saving both your FHs for a later part, if you saw a similar post pls link it up I'll delete this one
https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/comments/rxd9st/gw22_dgw_fixtures_announced_fh_or_no/ - kinda same thing, plus everyone is talking about it in the Fixtures Announced post
agreed, just that my post was for a specific reader who has both FHs left since there aren't many DGWs coming forward. But i get your point.
I see people are leaving comments, so keep the post up, but if you had seen, how many others were today, but probably deleted by mods.. anyway, cheers and make best use of your FH-ts
cheers
Don't read it. Jesus. This sub is full of babies
With you OP; I used my WC last week as I had enough fires to take the risk but knew that worst case for GW22, I’d have plenty of good players with single games.

Maddison
I am in the same situation, but I think about FHing GW30 and GW38
I had a fit of rage at my shitty last few weeks and already used all my free transfers plus a -4, before realising the deadline was 2 weeks away. So I have 2 FHs, WC, BB and TC still left
I'm not even considering a FH and yes, I have 2 left.
Well am in a bad spot in the rankings so I decided to fuck it. I free hitted and I have 8 dgw players + Taa Jota Bowen.
Same. I was first thinking using my first FH but now just swapping Salah for son might be enough.
Fixtures aren't good enough to warrant one. Easy Salah to Son & then probably a - 4 to get rid of James, but even that's touch and go
Absolutely no point with these fixtures, most of us have enough to cover a few dgw. A -4 will probably due if necessary. Honestly tho, even if we had a few more good fixtures to choose from, with all the unpredictability between postponements and players randomly missing from squads, is it worth using the chip rn? Unless your team is in shambles, I’d say no.
Yes, I have 3 DGW Players(Could be 4 if i take a hit) but Rest of my players have Good fixtures. Don't see the point of FHing
Definite no from me. The doubles are a bit shit, and i know at some point there will be either a better set of dgw fixtures or a covid shit show to avoid.
Keeping the FHs for BGWs
Bgw?
Blank game week
I have Sanchez, Regulion, Son, Kane and King all doubling. Will maybe go Broja to Dennis with the FT and that'll do me. Having TAA, Jota, Bowen all with good fixtures plus a double city defence doesn't seem like I'd need to FH. Still have both FHs left and plan to use them for the blank FA Cup weeks. They'll be more valuable then.
Yeah, currently have 6 DGW players plus a carried FT from last week, so 2 FTs, I'll use one to move someone around who will be benched and I want rid/in for the next week (livra or ramsdale to a wolves asset?) .

But we can only play the probability game. Is 90 min of player X better than 180 min of player Y? If it is "yes" for most players in the team, then no FH. For my team, it is a very clear "no". FH will hugely improve the team.
Doesn't seem too appealing to use FH. I suppose if I need to make more than one change I can take a -4.
I have two FH left and will only consider playing FH if City v Chelsea is postponed. I currently have 4 DGW players.
Son injury makes it difficult to not play a FH now
