I've already made my transfers for this week for minus 4 and just tonight I've found out Morata is out for the midweek game. If I now play my free hit chip does it cancel out the minus 4? Tia
It will cancel out the minus four, but also cancel any transfers you've made this week. So, for instance, if you've sold Elliot, he'll be back in your squad for GW18 and you'll have to use a transfer to get rid of him again.
Depending on the transfers you've made and state of your bench (do you have players who will play?) then you're probably better off benching Morata rather than selling him for a -4 or playing the FH chip as Conte has said it's fatigue/minor back niggle which probably means he'll be back for the weekend. The free hit is, in theory, very valuable and this situation likely doesn't warrant the playing of it in my opinion. We will likely see some rotation in this set of games which makes constructing a FH squad difficult because a) we don't know for sure who'll play and b) one advantage of the FH chip is that you can get all your money on the pitch, with perhaps only one functioning sub, as your squad reverts back to its former state the next week. With the threat of rotation this week, you can't really take that risk and therfore can't maximise the usage of the chip.
