FPL team news, tips and Q&A LIVE: Holly Shand takes your questions before the Premier League weekend
This week’s burning FPL questionpublished at 15:45 GMT
FPL Q&A with Holly Shand
It’s a blank FPL gameweek,
with Arsenal, Manchester City, Crystal
Palace and Wolves not playing.
So the question is clear: what is the best strategy to take
to counter this?
You might be looking at your team wondering how you are
going to get 11 players out this week, but the key is not to panic.
Holly Shand will certainly have a view on this, but if you
take anything away from this Q&A it should be:
-
To keep hold of your Free Hit if possible. We
will have double gameweeks in 33 and 36 and a blank in 34, so it will be vital
to navigate those weeks. -
Don’t be afraid of playing 10 or even nine
players – it’s sometimes better to take a zero than spend -4 points on a player
who you might not really want just to get 11 players out.
Remember, City and Palace, who still waiting for a new date for their postponed fixture, will likely have at least one
double gameweek so you want to try to hold on to as many of those players as
you can.
