Q & A

What are the key takeaways from the FA Cup fifth round draw?

The main takeaways are that gameweek 29 is likely to have a lot of blank fixtures, making Free Hit in GW29 a popular strategy. Chelsea vs Aston Villa fourth round replay will give more info on potential blanks. Overall, start thinking about chip strategy but no need to commit yet.

Has Egypt being knocked out of AFCON changed plans to transfer out Salah?

Not necessarily. Unless Klopp indicates Salah could be back sooner, the plan to transfer him out likely still stands, as he is expected to miss GW24 and potentially GW25.

Who are the top players being considered from Man City, Liverpool and Brentford for DGW25?

For Man City - Haaland, De Bruyne, Foden, Walker, Ederson, Bernardo Silva. For Liverpool - Darwin, Jota, Salah, Diaz, TAA, Van Dijk. For Brentford - Toney, Raya.

What are the top captaincy choices being considered for GW22?

The main captaincy options are Man City (De Bruyne/Alvarez), Liverpool (Darwin/Jota), Spurs (Kane/Son) and Arsenal (Saka). Richarlison may also be a popular pick.

Is Free Hit likely to be used in DGW25?

Using a chip in GW25 could be helpful, but Free Hit in GW25 specifically may not be optimal. Bench Boost could work for some teams based on their setup.

How valuable are goalkeepers for chips like Free Hit?

Goalkeepers like Ederson and Alisson should not be ruled out as they don't use up outfield spots. Can be useful for blanks as you can just bench them.

When is the best time to commit to Salah or Haaland?

Once both are fully fit, assess which one to commit to based on form, fixtures etc. No need to prematurely commit to one now.

Is doubling up on both Liverpool and Arsenal defense viable?

It can be, depending on what other spots you have free in your team. Liverpool likely need TAA, Arsenal could do Gabriel + White/Tierney.

How do the potential blank and double gameweeks affect transfer planning?

Be cautious bringing in players like Toney early just for a blank. Prioritize getting Man City players first. Can wait until GW23 for Liverpool.

What is the outlook for using chips like Wildcard and Free Hit?

Lots of options on when to use them. Key is saving Free Hit for a big blank like GW29, and using Wildcard to set up doubles without compromising non-double weeks.
