The triple-ups I am considering for Blank Gameweek 18 Free Hit squad

1,597 Comments
Share

Blank Gameweek 18 is just around the corner, and I wanted to use this opportunity to present some picks I feel should be part of your squad if you are opting to use the Free Hit.

At the time of writing, there was a lot of uncertainty looming around Spurs so, for the purpose of this piece I steered clear of the two clubs.

After all, the best way to maximise a Free Hit squad is to base as much as you can on things you are certain about.

    Son Kane and even dwfender on FH? Was going to have only Son if Aston Villa but now have changed my mind. Who are your Spurs, do you need both Son and Kane now?

      Similar situation to mine. Was going to save my FH but with that Fulham game now and DCL injured I am doing it. Triple spurs, triple utd, triple city, tierney, saka and maybe even Leno. Also there is enough for decent bench. Still havent pressed it bu looks very good so will try it probably. Gl mate

    The end of BB19?

    Looks like Southampton & Leeds won't get a Double Gameweek in GW19 if Southampton/Shrewsbury could face Arsenal/Leicester/Man Utd/Spurs (and possibly Man City) in the 4th or 5th Round of the FA Cup.

        Southampton/Shrewsbury face Arsenal in the 4th round. This means Southampton has to postpone their fixture v Leeds in #DGW19 so they can play the game vs. Shrewsbury.

        Leeds and Southampton will NOT have 2 games in GW19 from what I can see but I'll wait for confirmation...

        I copied & pasted from BBC minute by minute and I think it should be:
        Sot/Shrew vs Arsenal
        Which according to the Crellin knowhow above that will likely mean DGW is indeed off for Leeds & Sot?
