G-Whizz’s RMFHT

Let me start off by saying this is a first draft; obviously decisions on who makes the final cut will be made nearer the deadline and of course IB injuries permitting..

Kepa (Stekelenburg)

Luiz, Laporte, Schlupp and AWB

Hazard, Sterling(C), Pogba

Rashford, Kane, Aguero (VC)

Bench: Stephens, Romeu and Simpson

The Remainers:
Only Luiz, Laporte, Pogba, and Aguero make it into the first draft and will more than likely make the final cut too.

The Exiteers:
Fabianski, Steele, van Dijk, Robertson, Evans, Mané, Maddison, Fraser, Anderson, King, Vardy and Success.

By Position

Goalkeepers
Kepa makes the comes in as I go for a Chelsea defensive double up. Stekelenburg was brought in for Steele who looks as if he could drop in price so why take the risk? Never know when you might need that £0.1m on a Free Hit…

Defenders
AWB and Schlupp come in to double up the Crystal Palace defence, chance Schlupp could deliver attacking returns too.

Luiz completes the Chelsea defensive double up. I’m not entirely convinced with Chelsea’s current form but Cardiff and Brighton is too hard to refuse. Decent chance of at least one clean sheet there imo.

Laporte completes the four man back line as the first part of a Manchester City triple up.

Midfielders
Can’t see my FH team going without either Sterling (possible Captain) or Hazard, surely everyone and their dog will have those two. Pogba (another Remainer) makes up my trio in midfield.

Forwards
Aguero is another holding strong claims for the armband. Kane is Kane, could do anything, score a brace against Liverpool and blank against Crystal Palace! Who knows with Spurs at the moment, I think some will have to choose between him and other big hitters but for now, he can stay. Rashford slots in nicely and could be nice value…

Original team value: £107.1m
Free Hit team value: £105.7m (ITB: £0.2m)

Obviously some things will change (news on rotation, injuries etc.) and new ideas will no doubt come to the fore, but as a first draft it’ll do for now. Will still be tinkering right through the International Break and see where and what we end up with 🙂

Conclusion

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Where have I gone wrong, and where have I gone right?

What do you suggest I change? Feel free to let me know in the comments!

    Is everyone sure tht sterling will play both games???

    My FH now

    Laporte, Luiz, Aspi
    Hazard(vc), Pogba, Jota, Deulofeu

    Not sure jota & deulofeu will start both games though

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He can do the damage in limited gametime as well, so not really an issue. Its not like we have too many options available.

      Would prefer him over Hazard.

      Thanks. So following all your comments which is a better backline? (Kepa is GK)

      Love the Dilva pick. Definitely keep him, I would honestly love that team but cant afford it

      Template team so good 🙂
      Wait for 27th, if Jimenez plays for Mexico than bin him.
      He played first match so might be rested for second as their manager said he'd only play Jimenez/Chicharito at a time, Never together.

      So hold on !

    Want to get Dilva over Bilva because he will be fresh after a 2 week break but not sure how to get him in. Thoughts?
    Feel free to tear it apart

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not possible to fit in Dilva there unless you downgrade one of your more expensive players which I doubt you want to.

      I have my doubts about Bilva starting both games. He's going to play most of the mins for Portugal and could be rested. Also returns haven't been that good for the amount of mins he's played.

      Think I prefer Ederson/Laporte for my 3rd City spot.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Bats to Deeney would free up .6 Smalling to Lindelöf has risks. Kepa to Foster/Ryan is one way to go. Or change of formation 🙁

    3. Schafsalat
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      You could downgrade Smalling to Duffy, would free exactly the necessary 0.9. Or Smalling, Tomkins, Bilva => Dunk, Schlupp/WanB, Dilva. Obviously you'd "sacrifice" a ManU spot, not sure you want to do that.

      You must be having a pretty high TV than you can afford this team. I really like it honestly.

      Maybe United defender over Deulofeu in a 433.

      Too many sacrifices made in defence to fit in Kane. If he doesn't fire it could all go wrong.

      1. Lionel Ronaldo
        • 8 Years

        Seen from a different angle, if he is on fire (everything suggests that he is), then tears will be shed.

    Any feedback, lads?

    Kepa
    Laporte - Luiz - Smalling
    Sterling - Hazard - Pogba - Ward-Prowse
    Aguero - Lukaku - Zaha

    - 3x (CHE/MCI/MUN)
    - Yes, Ward-Prowse stands out as a weakness but he has 3 goals in his last 3 games (which includes United and Spurs) as well as 3 goals in 3 games from GW22 to GW24

    1. SheBangsTheDrums
      • 9 Years

      I like it. JWP is a decent shout given he's on set pieces!

      Any thoughts on mie above ^^^?

      1. Lionel Ronaldo
        • 8 Years

        Being pro-Kane does not preclude me from testing what I think is best for my team and my rank.

        Good 4-3-3.

        Monitor the situation with Rashford/Batshuayi.
        I would consider downgrading Azpi to Luiz if it means improving somewhere else (maybe Young to Laporte or Batshuayi to Zaha)

          Very good, but I never recommend Eriksen, he is hot-and-cold. Thoughts on Zaha instead of Batshuayi, if fit? Then Eriksen to Alli or Son?

          1. Football 365
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I most certainly want a third United player depending on rashy lukaku fitness. Set on my current 8 city/mun/Che assets
            Zaha for bat and Alli/son for erik sounds very tempting

              So many on here saying Son is A no go

                • 8 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Personally I trust Son more than Eriksen based on:
                - My experience of having Eriksen early in the season and failing
                - My experience of having Son for his massive hauls 2-3 months ago

        Thoughts on this NON FH team for dgw32 and going forward
        Ederson
        Robbo, Azpi, Schlupp, Valery
        Mane, Sterling, Jota
        Aguero, Vardy, Wilson

        1.3ITB
        1FT
        It allows me to have a full 11 for BGW33 , and ability to ship out brooks and McNeill for DGW34/35
        Thinking camrasa +knock for dgw34 and delof+ (vardy for jimi) for dgw35

        Think I’ve finally stumbled across a draft I’m happy with...

        DDG
        Azpi Laporte PVA Schlupp
        Sterling Hazard Pogba
        Aguero Higuain Rashford

        I know plenty here don’t fancy Higuain but I think he’ll haul vs those teams. Happy to take the risk on Laporte starting both.

        Any feedback?

          Looks good to me...

          If you think Higuain will be in for a big score then go for it!

          Not for me though, I'd rather redistribute funds and have another Chelsea defender over double Palace

        I dont know how usefull the rate-my-team tool is but most of the FH-teams I have been playing with will score around 130 points, this one included (132 estimated points).

        I'm in doubts wether to get David Silva or a ManC defender/goalkeeper as my last ManC player - any thoughts on this?

        Foster
        Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Duffy
        Sterling, Pogba, Hazard, David Silva
        Jiménez, Rashford, Aguero

          I'm probably in the minority, but prefer Laporte/Ederson over DSilva...

            60-40 in favour of defender over 3rd attacker for me.

        2. The Sociologist
          • 5 Years

          Ederson or Laporte is my preference over DSilva.

          Nice team, just need to monitor Zaha and Rashford and with Deulofeu I'm not sure will get both games but could work out to be a decent punt...

          All three off Deu, Rash and Zaha could either pay off or go very wrong.
          Good team in general!
