Free hit, free shit, or free spit if you like driving down the M1. Lemmebreakitdown for you. On the plus side, you can field a full strength team in a week where many will struggle to pick up points, so could be a major differential. The biggest negative is it may be better to save it for down the line where there will be further fixture disruption due to the large number of Prem clubs still in the FA Cup, balanced between rearranged double gameweeks which you'd want to keep a strong squad for. If you have 6-7 players in action, it may be best to hold tight and cross your fingers that Huddersfield-Palace doesn't finish 8-5. Another negative is the absolute dross that will be on show in the four games this weekend - making it unpredictable to decide who to put in there - but that won't stop us having a go...
Try this. It really is worth a go and might make someone feel nice... or apply for a restraining order

Liverpool x3
Everyone will probably have Salah and Firmino (if not, why are you even reading this blog?), so the question is: Who will be the lucky pierre in this red menage a trois? I'm plumping for Sadio to be the Mane man against Watford, fielding all three of Liverpool's attackers and praying for a bloodbath. Other viable options would be Robertson or VVD, with right back and the other centre half being rotation risks.

Bournemouth have the easiest fixture on paper, so Junior Stanilas is a decent shout. He has a terrible fitness record but he's alright at the moment and he usually make things happen. Adam Smith is the economical option, who has a wealth of... potential points as he carries an attacking threat.
Threats are fine as long as you're too lazy to carry them out
PVA by name, but in no way in sticky form, Patrick Van Aanholt has me addicted to him like I am to glue (mmm, delicious glue) with two goals in two playing against a Huddersfield team who, rumour has it, have never scored a goal. There are points here that may not be hallucinations.
