Our series of articles on the optimum Free Hit squad for Double Gameweek 32 continues with this look at midfielders.

Although there are a handful of viable options in this position who play just once in Gameweek 32, we have only considered players who have two fixtures in the imminent round of matches.

Those Fantasy managers who aren’t playing their Free Hit chip this weekend might still be interested in our comparisons as they mull over which assets to bring in using their allotted transfers.

Fantasy Football Scout subscribers can read on for this analysis, which heavily draws on data from the Members’ Area.

Those without a membership can still enjoy the weekend’s article on the best Double Gameweek 32 goalkeepers for free.

Now that we are past the halfway stage of the season, memberships are available for just £10 and can be acquired by signing up HERE.

      Lol why is this a question

      D for what it’s worrh

      C

    6. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 18 days ago

      C is a differential I'm currently considering

  2. Snuverink
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 18 days ago

    Any Watford fans here? Who’s the best pick: Deeney, Deulofeu or Gray for the DGW?

  3. NUFCAndrew
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 18 days ago

    Is Kane an essential in a FH team? I don’t think he is

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 18 days ago

      I don’t think so. But I’m getting him.

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 18 days ago

      No but he'll probably score a couple over the two games

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 18 days ago

      Probably not unless you want him as captain

    4. Jedi_Reed
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 18 days ago

      Not essential. Tempting, yes.

    5. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 18 days ago

      He takes up so much money, If I downgrade him to Rashford, it allows me to get in the likes of Ederson, Smalling and Son instead of cheaper options

    6. Homer21
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 18 days ago

      Don't think he's worth the extra outlay, but........

    7. MTPockets
        7 years, 18 days ago

        Not in mine

    8. TaiwanHC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 18 days ago

      Pick one:

      A. Trippier + Lindelöf
      C. Schlupp + Young

      1. zotter
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 18 days ago

        C

      2. WVA
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 18 days ago

        B. Schlupp and Lindelof

        1. Jedi_Reed
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 18 days ago

          Young's a better shout than Lindelof.

          1. Men in green tights
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 18 days ago

            Also smalling not a bad shout

    9. WrightnBright
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 18 days ago

      Currently playing 4-3-3 but considering a 5-3-2, question is would you rather:

      A) With Luiz (double up with Azpi)

      Foster
      Azpi Lindelöf Shlupp Laporte Luiz
      Sterling Hazard Pogba
      Kane Agüero

      B) With Batsman

      Foster
      Azpi Lindelöf Shlupp Laporte
      Sterling Hazard Pogba
      Kane Agüero Batsman

      1. zotter
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 18 days ago

        A if you phrase it like that. But wouldn’t play five at back

      2. WVA
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 18 days ago

        B but Luiz over Azpi and Zaha over batsman

      3. WrightnBright
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 18 days ago

        Cheers, yes slightly reluctant to do 5 at back. Zaha could be worth a shout if 100% fit

    10. The-Red-1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 18 days ago

      Which one please people?

      Kepa, Lindelof, Dunk, David Silva
      Kepa, Smalling, Laporte, Mili
      Ederson, Lindelof, Azpi, Mili
      Patricio, Young, Laporte, Azpi

      I'm leaning towards 1 or 3

      1. zotter
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 18 days ago

        1 out of these. But would get a city defender and wouldn’t get mili

      2. WVA
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 18 days ago

        Ederson one

      3. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 18 days ago

        1

      4. Bharat_Matakijai
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 18 days ago

        1 without a doubt

    11. wolves_simmo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 18 days ago

      Which option?

      A) Azpi & Batman
      B) Luiz & Zaha*(providing he’s fit)

      1. MTPockets
          7 years, 18 days ago

          a

        • Lone Wolf FPL
          • 10 Years

          A

        • Shineonme

      2. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 18 days ago

        Who would you rather have?

        A. Young and Son
        B. Lindelof and Alli

        1. MTPockets
            7 years, 18 days ago

          • Lone Wolf FPL

            Lindelof and Son
            A out of those

          • WVA
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 18 days ago

            L and S too

        2. Pique and De Bruyne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 18 days ago

          Alright guys which looks better?

          ****
          **** / **** / ****
          Sterling / Hazard / Pogba / ****
          Aguero(c) / Rashford / ****

          Guaita / Valery / Romeu / Simpson

          A) Ederson, Azpi, Trippier, Lindelof, Son, Higuain and 0.5 itb

          B) Kepa, Luiz, Laporte, Young, Mili, Kane for exact cash

          Option A is a bit more punty but would appreciate any thoughts.

          1. MTPockets
              7 years, 18 days ago

              A but don't fancy Trippier

              1. Pique and De Bruyne
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 18 days ago

                Cheers, that’s what i meant when i said punty. Trippier, Son, Higuain minutes and Lindelof missus pregnant.

            • Lone Wolf FPL
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 18 days ago

              A but both ok

            • WVA
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 18 days ago

              B

            • European Bob
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 18 days ago

              Insane team value, take your pick

              1. Pique and De Bruyne
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 18 days ago

                Cheers for the replies guys, no clear winner so looks like another last minute deadline decision.

            • SH1M1
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 18 days ago

              A for sure because it has goal potential in Son & Hig & the defence is 100% nailed compared to B

              1. Pique and De Bruyne
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 18 days ago

                Really? I thought the defence was more risky with A considering Trippier rotation and Lindelof’s missus might drop any time.

          2. Geordie19
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 18 days ago

            Hi all, which one you think for my FH this week:

            XXX
            Azpili, Lindelof, AWB
            Hazard, Pogba, Sterling, XXX
            Rashford, Aguero, XXX

            A) Ederson, Son, Jimi
            B) Foster, Dilva, Bats/Jimenez/zaha or anyone in that price market

            Thankyou

            1. MTPockets
                7 years, 18 days ago

                I'm on Foster/MCI mid, but A could do just as well/better

              • WVA
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 18 days ago

                B

                • 9 Years
                7 years, 18 days ago

                I like A better.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 18 days ago

              GTG? (assuming Zaha is fit)

              Kepa
              Azp - Young - Schlupp
              Sterling - Silva - Hazard - Pogba
              Aguero - Rashford - Zaha

              Thanks guys!

              1. MTPockets
                  7 years, 18 days ago

                  yep

                • Lone Wolf FPL
                  • 10 Years
                  7 years, 18 days ago

                  is Young nailed for both?

                  1. TaiwanHC
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 9 Years
                    7 years, 18 days ago

                    Who knows? Just as nailed as anyone in the UTD defense.

                    1. Lone Wolf FPL
                      • 10 Years
                      7 years, 18 days ago

                      I think Lindelof is more nailed but Young has some attacking potential

                • Sargasso C
                  • 7 Years
                  7 years, 18 days ago

                  Gambling on a player who had been injured heading into a double gameweek is silly in my opinion

                  1. Snuverink
                    • 7 Years
                    7 years, 18 days ago

                    Who’s been injured?

                • Pique and De Bruyne
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 9 Years
                  7 years, 18 days ago

                  Yeah looks good (assuming Rash fit as well)

                  A....higuain (in addition to azpi and hazard)

                      Depends whether you'd have 3 mic otherwise. A if so, B if not

                        I'd have 3 city either way.

                        If I don't get Silva, I'd go for ederson

                      Jimenez or Batshuayi, tough choice hmm...

                        Jim is less rotation risk than we think

                        Humble brag time. I have spent the past 10 weeks putting this team together so that I can Bench Boost this week. A strategy against the mainstream. It is almost a template squad. To achieve that is a lot more difficult than it sounds (and no hits being thrown around).

                        Ederson - Kepa
                        Shaw - AWB - Schlupp - Doherty - Azpi
                        Hazard - Pogba - Son - Sterling - Camarasa
                        Jimenez - Aguero - Rashford

                            wow mate..nicely done...did it cost you many red arrows in those 10 weeks?

                              I have been unlucky really. Last week was my worst week and I played my Free Hit. I was expecting a big green arrow and I ended up with a big red arrow. Apart from that I have hardly changed rank.

                              Ah but we did. Or at least we had an idea. I had to take a few punts on them. Started with City, Then united and palace and then moved onto Spurs and Chelsea. Each week we learnt a little more. It could have gone badly wrong. It could still go badly wrong.

                          What’s the verdict on Rashford then lads? Are we all taking a punt on him or not after the non-comments in the presser?

                                delefoue or pedro? Can downgrade schlupp to tomkins to save some money and for more start security.

                                  Currently on Del, used all Chelsea spots so can’t choose Pedro, although I wouldn’t pick him anyway. I can get about 7m if I downgrade my bench too but I don’t know if that gives my many more options, not really looking to downgrade Schlupp- I really like the prospect of him vs Hudds

                                  I'm certain Pedro only starts 1 game

                                  I'm getting Ederson. Boring pick but should be a clean sheet or even 2 and and a easy 12 points I believe
