    My opponent in the cup has what looks like an amazing team but somehow has over 100 points less than me in the overall standings.

    I'm ahead thanks to Captain Bernandes but I doubt it'll last.

    Mines got an 11 point Aaron Cresswell on the bench with no chance of coming on unless COVID postpones half the league.

    I'm on 47 (after Son and Kane bonus points come in) and my cup opponent has 15.

    I have Justin, Mitchell, Sterling and Ward-Prowse to come. He has Mendy, Justin, Cancelo, KDB, Mount and Adams to go, although Justin's points are obviously cancelled out.

    Losing to someone ranked outside the top 3 million, he will be crying into his Indonesian pot noodle.

    I've taken a bad stance against Kane and Son, after having the Korean in for the first gameweek and binning him just before he scored 5 or whatever it was.

    Had Soucek as well for the first few weeks.

    I should really trust my gut more, but I never seem to be able to hold my nerve. Did the same with Salah in his first season.

    This has been my worst year ever. Didn’t even make the cup by the looks of it after the mare in midweek.

    My midfield is currently Barnes/Salah/Son/Mane/Fernandes lol

    It looks like I'm out of the cup. My opponent has 79 with Salah left to play. I have 53 with Salah, Robertson and Che Adams left to play.

    I'm very close to securing the giantkilling over the man ranked 3.1 million places above me, I have an 11 point lead for my Firmino and Ward-Prowse vs his Robertson. Genuinely cannot wait to see how they somehow fuck it up.

    Big Andy Carroll's strike yesterday denying Leicester a clean sheet was crucial, I fully punched the air when it went in (for the first and last time that afternoon).

    I think I need a big showing from Kyle Walker-Peters to save my bacon (think I have a 5 point deficit with both having Salah).

    Basically Fabianksi doing his nads in the warm-up has cost me.

    I was lucky with my cup opponent, who had a triple each of Newcastle, Crystal Palace, and Leicester players.

    Allowed me to sneak through with my underperforming Robertson-Salah(c)-Firmino setup. Thanks go out to Cresswell and Soucek.

    I've had Creswell since day one, a rare good pick, he is absolutely brilliant.

    This next gameweek is the time to play the free hit, right?

    Ederson is my main keeper, and I've had Forster on the bench all season. Ederson has covid, so I upgraded Forster to Fabianski in anticipation of an upcoming double game week bench boost. Fabianski gets injured in the warm-up, Forster starts his first game of the season and keeps a clean sheet against Liverpool.

    Got to laugh.

    I'd have struggled to get a lower points tally if I'd tried. At least it's been a decent week in life outside of fpl so I can absorb the hit.

    Theoretically yes but the actual fixtures don't seem likely to yield many points so you're probably best to save it. Even using it for the double in the week after seems preferable given any teams who don't play play double then and the fixtures are far tastier. I'm saving mine for the remaining doubles/minimal weeks.

    I would say it is, if you only have a handful of starting players otherwise (I have four, I think). I do expect there to be another "Blank Gameweek" later in the year, so it might also be wise to save the chip for that.

    I'll play it this week, but I'm holding out on activating it because there are still rumours floating around about some sort of Covid break.

    I only have 4 players starting and have zero Man Utd players (who I think might dump a few past Burnley) so am 90% tempted to play it, and hope my cup opponent swerves it (I'm 2.9 million in the world so not too bothered about the grand total).

    Kyle Walker-Peter actually pulled it out of the fire so I ended up drawing in the cup, and then went out on goals conceded. Seriously?

    Using a free hit on the double gameweek means no triple captain though.

    Every chip is very risky at the minute with COVID postponements. Could easily end up with a triple captain with no games. Or doubling up on a couple of teams or players who miss out.

    The triple captain is the least risky. I'm planing Salah captain with KDB vice.

    Do these catch up fixtures count as the same week? Some players showing as not having a game for me, since they dont play til the weekend rather than midweek.

    The next gameweek is fucked, but then there are going to be loads of stuffed gameweeks for the rest of the season with cups and whatnot, not to mention possible covid postponements.

    I have 9 playing. If Villa are replaced by Fulham that goes down to 7 and I may be tempted to play a FH. If any other cancellations, null and void the season.

    I have 7 now, with McGoalzdrick being one, so effectively 6.

    City are bankers for a clean sheet, as are Spurs and the now much more solid Arsenal I feel. I reckon a free hit could score a tidy amount of points with City, Spurs, Arsenal, and United players

    I played the free hit a few days back but have still been shovelling new players in every day as the old ones pile up in the temporary mortuary.

    I now have Phil Jagielka in as defensive cover in case any of the main four die, you have to play the long game at times like this.

    There is no long game. We're one overly enthusiastic goal celebration from the whole thing going in the bin. Get the points on the board whilst you still can.

    I have also used my free hit.

    If Guardiola pisses about and fucks me over I'm not going to be happy.

    Why what does the “Fulham news” mean in terms of this game week?

    I may have used free hit to load up on Spurs, City and Arsenal players.

    Pretty happy with my team. Love how the free hit allows you to buy the cheapest players possible with no chance of them ever coming off your bench. Barry Douglas.

    Choice between KDB, Son, and Sir Hurricane for captain.

    I've learned a lot about the bottom end of certain squads from the free hit, not least that Burnley have a player called 'Mumbongo', who I presume is someone Sean Dyche has forced to black up so that his team appears more diverse.
