Fantasy Premier League managers are encouraged to use the Fantasy Football Scout members’ area if they are planning to tackle Blank Gameweek 33 with the Free Hit chip.

This is the first instalment in a two-part series considering this tactic for the weekend’s depleted round of fixtures.

We have run comparisons on the top options from the four positions ahead of Blank Gameweek 33, using the data available to us in the members’ area.

In this article, we will be looking at the goalkeepers and defenders together.

Now that we are past the half-way stage, memberships are now available for just £10, so make sure you get the most of it while you can by signing up HERE.

    Can someone point me to the answer, sorry if its been asked loads. Do free transfers carry through free hit?

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Nope

  2. Silecro
    • 8 Years

    Guaita or Leno?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Leno

    2. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Leno and keep for the rest of the season.

  3. Chris_White
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Best mid under 8.7m this week?

    1. Jimmy Boy
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Siggy could be a good shout imo

      1. Chris_White
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah I'm thinking him or Maddison

    2. Ode
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Ramsey

      1. good biashara
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Is he not injured?

    3. Ribus
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Same question. Think i will go with Mad.

    4. 2hotty
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      siggy deffo thats my move this week

  4. Jimmy Boy
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero > Vardy
    Pogba > Hazard (-4)

    Good idea?

    1. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      yah

    2. Chris_White
      • 14 Years

      Aye

    3. Cruz88
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Depends if you mind losing them both for their doubles in 35

      1. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        he could be wc34

    4. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I did Pogba, Aguero to Salah, Wilson but would definetly do those moves.

    1FT. 0.2 ITB. Currently on 10 players for GW33:

    [TBC] (both blank)
    Pereira | TAA | AWB | Mepham
    Salah | Mané | Hazard | Brooks
    Wilson | Vardy

    (1) FT to bring in a GK. If so, best GW33 GK for 4.7?
    (2) FT to get rid of Rashford or Pogba and play 3-4-3 / 3-5-2
    (3) Combination of (1) and (2) for a hit?

    WC'ing in GW34

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Bottomed...For GW33 only, with 3.0 mm in the bank, should I do
    A) Fabianski to Kepa (free)
    B) Arnautovic to Lacazette (free)
    C) Fabianski and Arnautovic to Schmeichel and Lacazette for -4

    Fabianski**
    Robertson - Pereira - TAA - Digne
    Salah - Hazard - Fraser
    Vardy - Arnautovic** - Wilson

    Steele; Doherty; Pogba; Gunnarsson

      Why B? Digne not the worst player to have this gw.

  10. Gazpilicueta

    1. Lucky Z
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

      No

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Just relax in the knowledge they will all be scrambling to get him back and he will rise again. The new Jesus

        1. Gazpilicueta
          • 11 Years

          Lol fair

      no

  11. Mork calling Orson
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Would you choose;
    A) Higuaín & Salah

    Much obliged

  12. adams2318
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Is it worth a -4 hit to take out Boruc? And who would you bring in, Kepa (already have Luiz) or Schmeichel? I will be WCing next week. Thanks for any input

    1. good biashara
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Why what's wrong with Boruc?

      1. adams2318
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        It looks like Begovic is back in

    2. Ribus
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Imo no.

  13. Lionel Ronaldo
      7 years, 2 months ago

      This game is bollocks.

      - Went Ederson over Laporte for "safety" [Laporte plays both, 1 assist, 3 bonus]
      - Went Young for his attacking stats [no CS, gets red carded]
      - Went Luiz over Azpi to free some funds [Luiz plays both but Azpi 1 goal, 3 bonus]
      - Went Sterling (C) hoping to press into Top 10k [blanks in one, sits in the other]
      - Went Pogba as he was part of the "core" [double blank]
      - Went Deulofeu for his "potential" [Watford score 5, no involvement from him]
      - Went without Troll-Eriksen who I promised to never buy again [1 goal, 2 assists, 4 bonus]
      - Went Kane over Higuain based on form [Higuain blanks, but so does Kane]
      - Went Batshuayi over Jimenez/Rashford [rotation/flagged] [4 pts vs 12 pts/7 pts]

      Thank you for the massive red arrow, Free (s)Hit

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years

        Hope you eel better now thats out, have up vote.

      2. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Free (s)hit indeed hahah

      3. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        - Laporte has a higher ceiling
        - how many attacking returns does Young have?
        - Azpi is more nailed
        - all Man City players were rotation risks
        - Pogba has been turd for a while
        - Deulo isn't actually that good
        - Eriksen is Tottenham's 2nd/3rd best player
        - Kane doesn't score in every game
        - Jimenez and Rashford are clearly better than Batshuayi

        😀

        I feel you. The nature of FPL can be so frustrating.

        1. Lionel Ronaldo
            7 years, 2 months ago

            How did you fare, mate? I spent hours perfecting that FH squad only to finally trudge in the mud.

            1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Ended up with 109 points. Pleased with that after all!

              1. Lionel Ronaldo
                  7 years, 2 months ago

                  Well done. Happy for you.

                  1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

                    Cheers mate!

            • 14 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            So you have a feck tonne of baggage and bias that you carry with you in this game then. Acknowledge it.

            1. Lionel Ronaldo
                7 years, 2 months ago

                I realise this game is about making choices and I take responsibility for them, but no need to be a d!ck.
                Also I do not remember you helping me when I needed it, so I'll skip your kind comments.

                1. Ginkapo FPL
                  • 14 Years
                  7 years, 2 months ago

                  No need to facilitate your excuses either, but hey, everyone appears to be doing that.

                2. Yank Revolution
                  • 14 Years
                  7 years, 2 months ago

                  Lionel, for one, you shouldn't ever say "I'll never own that player again"...emotional choices are TERRIBLE for FPL and you never know when you'll need that 'ruled out' player in the future.

            2. Amey
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Hard luck buddy.

              1. Lionel Ronaldo
                  7 years, 2 months ago

                  Thank you for helping me during my team's buildup Amey 🙂

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Best replacement for Felipe this week?

              A. Maddison
              B. Fraser
              C. Richa

              Thanks

              1. FPL Scoop
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                hard call. probably maddison or maybe tielemans

            4. Maltezer
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Anyone got any suggestions on a WC-team that looks good from now on and in to the last games of the season?

              My team atm:

              Ederson - Stekelenburg
              Luiz - Shaw - Rice - Robertson - Bennett
              Salah - Mane - Hazard - Felipe Anderson - Höjbjerg
              Jimenez - Rashford - Wilson

              Which players are a must have?

            5. The Bandit
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Pogba and Higuain to Salah and DCL -4? Also means I don’t have to start Bednarek

              1. FPL Scoop
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                inclined to say yes...

              2. No Professionals
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                Doesn't feel that enticing to me, Salah couldn't hit a barn cow's ar*e with a barn door at the minute and Calvert lewin might score 7 points max

                1. The Bandit
                  • 15 Years
                  7 years, 2 months ago

                  I’ll probably get no points from Pogba and Higuaín

                  1. The Bandit
                    • 15 Years
                    7 years, 2 months ago

                    And a minus from Bednarek

                    1. No Professionals
                      • 8 Years
                      7 years, 2 months ago

                      When you put it like that

            6. Gazpilicueta
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Free hit this week,
              Wildcard next week for bench boost in the big double game week,
              Then let the final 3 weeks see what happens
              sound like a decent plan?

            7. King Kohli
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Appreciate any advice on this team.

              Boruc
              Robbo Taa Azpi
              Salah Hazard Maddison Fraser
              Vardy Rondon Barnes

              1 Ft, 1.7 itb, WC next week.

              Anything worth a one week punt or do Boruc > Kepa/Schmeichel?

                • 8 Years

                Swap keeper, GTG

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              When are you thinking of TCing? Weighing up:

              GW33 - Hazard v WHU
              GW36 - Mane v HUD
              GW37 - Kun v LEI

              Got the urge to go with Haz this week due to a very poor WHU defence. Plus my rivals will not have a full team with this week, nor own him.

              1. Ribus
                • 12 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                36 Mane or Salah

              2. DRINKWINE
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                Not considering DGW 35? or the madness of GW38? sorry, i know i am not helping! 🙂

                1. Mingles
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 11 Years
                  7 years, 2 months ago

                  BB in 35! Never like betting who’s going to start in 38 also.

              3. No Professionals
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                No one tempted by kane gw 34 v huddersfield or dgw 35 inc Brighton at home?

                1. Mingles
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 11 Years
                  7 years, 2 months ago

                  WC 34 and BB 35 for me. Only leaves 4 gameweeks to play it

            9. EL tridente
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Laca or Auba?

              1. The Bandit
                • 15 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                I’d get both if they were nailed but they’re not. Best avoid imo

              2. FPL Scoop
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 9 Years

                long term Laca, this week more tempted by Auba. neither nailed, though. just feel auba gets more minutes this week based on not playing at the wkend?

                  It seems like a complete lottery . He could just as easily play both

                    He will if he has any sense but still not worth picking one

                      Agree and agreed

              I can field 11 this week:

              Fab
              Robbo - Pereira - AWB - Bednarek
              Mane - Salah - Brooks
              Wilson - Rondon - Higuain

              Bench: Sterling - Pogba - Doherty

              But not happy with Higuain or Bednarek prospects

              Will be WC next week so my options:
              a) Sterling to Hazard and bench Bednarek
              b) Higuain to Vardy
              c) a & b for -4

              I am chasing 50 points in my ML and really need some sound advice!

              Tielemans over Maddison maybe an iffy call, but pressed the button already so it didn't do my head in til the deadline 😆

                Think I’ll do the same.

                Have to pull the trigger too on this question. Arrghh.

                Good choice

                Fanderson & Wan-B for me

              Best one week punt?

              A) Anderson -> Ramsey
              B) Anderson -> Maddison
              C) Higuain -> Lacazette

                • 11 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                Also so tempted with the Ramsey one! Don’t think I’ll have the balls though and will probably go Tielemens.

              Anyone know if Alonso was injured last night or dropped?

                “We have a little problem with Alonso and his hamstring so I think he has to rest for three or four days.”

                  It kinda looks horrible, but ok for the fixtures

                    It looks good for this week. You pretty much have the bases covered this week.

              Rondon or Maddison?

                • 13 Years

                Toss a coin

              Wilson Vardy(C)
              Button* Barnes Doherty* Holebas*

              Anything worth a hit?

                7 years, 2 months ago

                Looks good to me are you wc next week? If so I’d probably take a punt but struggling to see where

                1. thunder_mike
                  • 13 Years
                  7 years, 2 months ago

                  Yeah WC next week, I do fancy taking a punt on something, but don't know what.

                  • 13 Years
                  7 years, 2 months ago

                  Maybe Almiron > Richarlison or Ramsey

              2. Amey
                • 7 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                Nope
                But I'd start Barnes over Brooks. (Brooks played in CM I guess last match)

                  • 13 Years
                  7 years, 2 months ago

                  Thanks, yeah I will switch that then.
