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 🙂

    Any update on Lukaku guys ?

    Thanks

    1. salazar1963
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Has to be a concern for both games

  2. Laporte In A Storm
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Is a downgrade of Ederson and AWB worth an upgrade to Laporte and Mili?

    I did Ederson > Foster and AWB > Tomkins to afford Doherty > Laporte and Deulofeu > Milivojevic

    Current FHT:

    Foster
    Laporte / Luiz / Tomkins
    Sterling / Hazard / Pogba / Milivojevic
    Kun / Kane / Bat

    Boruc / Peltier / Romeu / Simpson

  3. Fozzyb34r

    Trying out a Sterling-less team, what do you think?

    Kepa

    Laporte | Smalling | Luiz

    Haz | D.Silva | Pogba | Milivojevic

    Kane | Bats | Aguero

    1. salazar1963

      Couldn't leave Raz out. Sure to be highly-owned on FH's this week.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years

      I won't go without Sterling.
      Risky & he'll do well not to score good against Fulham & Cardiff

  4. Amey
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Do you like this for FH ??

    ------------ Kepa ------------
    Azpi -- Dunk -- Lindelof
    Raz -- Hazard -- Pogba -- B Silva
    Lukaku -- Aguerooo -- Batsman

    Dunk + Lindelof can be Schlupp+ Duffy too.

    Thank you in advance !!

    RMFHT

    DDG

    Lindelöf - Luiz - Azpi - Laporte

    Pogba - Hazard - Sterling - Alli

    Aguero (C) - Batshuayi

    Gambling that both Utd fixtures will be against rotation hit teams in Wolves and Watford.

    Any thoughts?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      That's the strongest defense I've seen in any FH team.
      Only thing I didn't like is Alli pick.
      Otherwise good team

      1. Professional Fowl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 27 days ago

        If Lukaku confirmed out then could rearrange to 4-3-3 and drop Alli to Rashford?

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 27 days ago

          I'd do that tbh.

  6. Stimps

    Can I get a RMFHT? Waiting on Zaha, Rash news

    Ederson
    Azpi Luiz Schlupp
    Hazard Sterling Eriksen Pogba
    Rashford Kun Zaha

    1. Phil's Stamps

      Seems fairly template with Eriksen as an overlooked differential. Solid.

  7. Equib118

    Thank you for all your help! Bit of risky at the moment with 75% defenders.

      Identical to mine with the exception of AWB>Schlupp and Batman > Townsend, so to answer your question probably going to do crap if my luck is anything to go by!

  9. Phil's Stamps
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    I think the inclusion of Kane has not trashed this team too much. Any good?

    Kepa
    Laporte Lindelof Duffy Schlupp
    Sterling Hazard Pogba
    Kane Aguero Rashford

    1. George James
      • 9 Years

      Very good

  10. teneighty

    5 years, 27 days ago

    Ederson
    Duffy - Lindelöf - Luiz - Kolasinac

    Missing Sterling too much or good enough?

    Kepa
    AWB Schlupp Laporte Luiz

    Should I gamble on triple Palace so I can include the Kane? Or play Rashford and Zaha upfront and Ederson and Azpi at the back in place of Schlupp and Kepa?

    1. theodosios

      If you think Kane's gonna have 2 crazy games, than ok..

      I just dont like manu defence. I would rather go Kepa and Schlupp instead Luiz

    Any thoughts will be appreciated

  14. ASOUSA12

    Hello guys,

    Any help appreciated:

    A) If Rashford is fit and Lukaku is not fit

    De Gea
    Luiz Azpilicueta Laporte
    Pogba Sterling Hazard Milivojevic
    Aguero Rashford Batshuayi

    B) If Rashford is not fit and if Lukaku is fit

    Kepa
    Laporte Azpilicueta Lindelof AWB
    Pogba Sterling Hazard Milivojevic
    Aguero Lukaku

    C) If Rashford is not fit -> Kane

    Foster
    Laporte Luiz Boly Tomkins
    Pogba Sterling Hazard Milivojevic
    Aguero Kane

    Cheers

    1. fenixri

      Kane not worth it to rip your team apart imo

      Would personally prefer City defensive cover, then spend the Bilva money on Batshuayi/Jimenez. Looks good overall though.

    Ddg
    Luiz, Laporte, Schlupp
    Sterling, Hazard, Pogba, Son

    Son, Batshuai to Delufeu, Higuain?

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Sounds good. Son might be tired and there's a chance Higuain could fill his boots against weaker opposition. Chance Delofeu might be rotated.

  17. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Really want to include Kane in my FH team but, deep down, I know my team value won't allow it without major sacrifices elsewhere. Still feel drawn to him though...

    What do you reckon?

    Draft A
    Ederson
    Luiz / Azpi / AWB
    Sterling / Hazard / Pogba / Mili
    Aguero + two of Rashford/ Jimenez/ Batshuayi

    Draft B
    Kepa
    Laporte / Dunk / Schlupp / AWB
    Sterling / Hazard / Pogba / 5.3m mid
    Aguero / Kane

    Thanks!

      A) will give me primarily penalty takers

    2. Stevie B
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      I think that A is better. Machester United fixtures are not great. Maybe Lukaku and Rashford are fit, but they are not in perfect shape and therefore they have limited game time.

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      You considered a 433 formation? Ryan, Kane and Lindelof could fit our budget

    2. SH1M1
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      2

    3. Lionel Ronaldo
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      I do not like any of the options. Perhaps a formation change to 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 would offer you better opportunities.

  20. dbeck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    I’ve tried a few edits but with lack of appeal on 4th mids and 3rd strikers I keep coming back to this team. Keen to hear feedback?

    Foster
    PVA Duffy Azpi Lindelof Laporte
    Hazard Sterling Pogba
    Kane Kun

    1. SH1M1
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      i would downgrade PVA & Azpi for Schlupp & Luiz & then try upgrading either Foster/Duffy, Good team other then that

    2. Lionel Ronaldo
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Can't really complain about that defence for a Kane team. All good for now.

    3. Mr Q
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Jota could be golden as 4th mid. See below 🙂

  21. It's his Job.

    TC GW32
    A, Aguero

    1. Mr Q

      A

    2. Lionel Ronaldo
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      No one but B for me, after back-to-back hat tricks for City and England.

  22. Mr Q
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Kepa

    Luiz-Laporte-shaw-schlupp

    Sterling-haz-pogba-jota

    Kun-kane

    Bench: norris, Stephens, Simpson, quaner

    Shaw could be lindelöf as well.

    Balanced enough?

    1. Lionel Ronaldo
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Very decent Kane team. Should be good until further notice.

      1. Mr Q

    I was thinking pogba/dunk - > dilva/schlup
    Your suggestions plz

    1. Lionel Ronaldo
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Relatively weak midfield for a Kane team. How would you welcome a 4-4-2 with a bit more defender investment?

      1. Mr Q
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 27 days ago

        +1

  24. Stevie B
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Is this good to go?

    Foster (Speroni)
    Luiz, Laporte, Cathcart (Wan-Bissaka) (Peltier)
    Sterling, Hazard, Pogba, Deulofeu (Oriol Romeu)
    Agüero (TC), Higuain, Rashford

    Or too much Watford? Is TC Agüero too risky?

    Thank you!

    1. Lionel Ronaldo
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Did you manage this team without a FH? Impressive.

    2. Mr Q
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      How many hits?

    3. Stevie B
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      It is my free hit team. The capital of this site is "Rate my free hit team". Is it so bad?

      1. Mr Q
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 27 days ago

        Not so bad. But u cant play tc in the same week as FH. Hence the thought that u hadnt played the FH.

        1. Mr Q
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 27 days ago

          But triple Watford isnt too appealing. Would have a 3,8 goalie and and a 3,9 defender in there to be able to upgrade catchart

      2. Lionel Ronaldo
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 27 days ago

        "It is my free hit team" ---- "Is TC Agüero too risky?"

        Are you not contradicting yourself?

  25. Lionel Ronaldo
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Can my 4-3-3 do well?

    Kepa: Highly-rated on the "Best GK for DGW32" article

    Azpi: Most secure Chelsea DEF, racks assists now and then
    Laporte: With 5 of City's 8 DEF doubtful, should play both games?
    Smalling: Does not suffer from doubts around Lindelof and Shaw's 9 YCs
    Schlupp: Playing as LB and possibly further forward if Zaha is out

    Sterling: Hat-trick hero for both club and country
    Hazard: In fine form for both club and country
    Pogba: United's play revolves around him

    Aguero: Rested, chasing the Golden Boot, favourable opponents
    Lukaku: On fire prior to foot injury, nailed if Rashford is out
    Batshuayi: In-form for both club and country, nailed if Zaha is out

    1. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      no

    2. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      It looks okay, usual 8 in common with most teams.

    3. Mr Q
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Is smalling nailed?

      Batshuayi or jota is the question 🙂 i went for jota. Best of luck to both of us

      1. Lionel Ronaldo
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 27 days ago

        If someone is nailed from United, I would bet on Smalling.
        Also, Batshuayi or Jota is not really a debate. One is from Palace, the other is from Wolves. I've never even considered Jota for my team 🙂

        1. Mr Q
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 27 days ago

          Haha alright 🙂

      Yes very good.
      Can’t question any of those picks.

        Ta!

  26. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Which Sacrifice is best ?

    A) Higuain instead of Hazard

    B) Dilva instead of Sterling

    C) Alli / Eriksen instead of Kane

    1. Lionel Ronaldo
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      None, to be honest. C if you REALLY must.

      1. FPL Maldini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 27 days ago

        Well there is D) go 4-3-3 with a mediocre defence

        1. Lionel Ronaldo
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 27 days ago

          Which is not necessarily a bad thing.

  27. HashAttack

    Foster
    Azpi / Schlupp / Luiz
    Sterling / D Silva / Pogba / Hazard
    Bats / Aguero / Kane

    Guaita / Saiss / Stephens / Valery

    1. Lionel Ronaldo
      • 8 Years

      That's actually very good for a Kane team!

      1. HashAttack

        High SV helps ... but my rank is terrible

        1. Lionel Ronaldo
          • 8 Years

          That's what the FH chip is for, to overcome terrible ranks 🙂

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years

      Very good.

    3. The 12th Man

      That’s some team value!!
      I’m like 2.8m short.

  28. The 12th Man

    Lindelof,Duffy,Schlupp
    Sterling,Bilva,Hazard,Pedro,Pogba

    Hamer,Peltier,Simpson,Quanar

    1. Lionel Ronaldo
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      How's it going, mate?
      I find it a bit of downgrade as compared to your previous team(s)
      How confident are you with Lindelof/Pedro/Bernardo?

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 27 days ago

        Yeh very good. Just having a tinker. Just seeing what viable combinations their are.
        Ideally Dilva would have been better in this team or a Bilva > Romeu , Quanar > Bats.

        1. Lionel Ronaldo
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 27 days ago

          I don't know, really. I have had a change of heart regarding Kane lately. I might be going Kane-less in a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3.

          1. The 12th Man
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 27 days ago

            I am slightly tempted to change Kane > Lukaku, Schlupp > Peltier to upgrade Quanar > Bats and go 3-4-3.

                Sorry Kane should be Lukaku.

                  Yeah I assumed so. Balanced team. Whether or not it would outscore the Kane team is to meditate upon.

                    Plus the double Palace Attack. Hmm.
                    Maybe they will come good against Huddersfield.

        Is Smalling really worth the 0.5 extra over Lindelof though?

        1. Lionel Ronaldo
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 27 days ago

          I am quite sure he is. The only other United defender I would consider is Young. The others are either doubtful, close to suspension, lack match fitness, or are plainly poor!

          Prefer Foster / Luiz to Kepa / Lindelof ... both combos are 11m

          1. Lionel Ronaldo
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 27 days ago

            Going Chelsea-defence-less could hurt really bad, however.

            1. HashAttack
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 27 days ago

              Would have David Luiz ... it would mean having Watford GK instead of ManU defender

                • 8 Years
                5 years, 27 days ago

                Apologies, read that incorrectly. You are right.

      I'd be worried about game time for Bilva and Pedro

      I was looking at a Deulofeu / Milivojevic pairing for quite a while ... reckon its very good value

        Thanks. Yeh one of them would probably surfice because of the risk.

      very good team providing bsilva & pedro play both games

    Are there any DGW goalkeepers that are likely to get rotated?

      Guaita

    Imagine the scenes of Sterling got injured tonight....

      Instead of all owning Sterling, everyone would own kane.

    2. The 12th Man

      Kane and Dilva would be every FH team if this happens.

      1. Lionel Ronaldo
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 27 days ago

        Sané too, perhaps?

        1. The 12th Man

          Yep.
