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.
Anyone punting on Auba?
No
If you read the article, you will find one 😉
Would you FH this lot ? Current players who have a game
Dias stones lowton mitchell
kdb bruno son
Brewster
1FT 1.2 ITB
On the fence but I'd say save your FH.
Taking a risk with Mitchell and Lowton and Brewster......I would FH .....
Is this FH team gtg pending Sterling fitness confirmation? Cheers!
Darlow
Cancelo - Tierney - Dier
KDB - Sterling - Bruno - Son - Saka
Kane - Wilson
(Steer) (Mitchell - Davis - Douglas)
dubravka could play
If game between Soton and Leeds is potponed would you still play your BB?
Probably not.
Probably but not expecting much. On wildcard atm
Why do i see so many teams without Wilson?
People going for Laca and Kane
First to 3 wins!
A) Cancelo + Laca (3-4-3)
B) Fernandez + Rashford (3-5-2)
Leno
AWB Dias
Bruno KDB Saka Son
Kane Wilson
A
A
A
A to seal it.
RMFHT? ¦ Lloris
Cancelo Dias Tierney Shaw
KdB Auba Fernandes Son
Wilson Richarlison
¦ ESR Brewster Mitchell
Thought about Richarlison but not sure I'm keen. Like the midfield though, and defence good too.
How’s this FH team looking?
DDG
Cancelo/Tierney/Aurier
KDB/Fernandes/Son/Fidel/Saka
Kane(c)/Lacazette
(4.0/Clark/Brewster/3.9)
Not sure Fidel's up to 90 minutes these days.
Apart from that, it's similar to the way I'm heading. Just Zaha and Neves as 4th & 5th mids.
Early WC draft
DDG* Meslier
Dias* - Cancelo* - WanB* - Dallas - Coufal
Bruno* - KDB* - Son* - Raphina - Smith Rowe*
Kane* - Bamford - Wilson*
* GW 18 players
Plan is to have 10 players for 18
Next GW
Kane + Son to Ings + Salah and Bench Boost.
Please give your suggestions.
I'd go 2 Leeds players just in case of the game being off in GW19 and that also gives you another starter in GW18. Raphinha > Neto (he has WBA in GW19 so that's nice)
ok thanks. But for that i have to degrade Cancelo to Stones though. What are your thoughts on the rest of the wildcard?
Cancelo to Stones worth the other upgrade imho
yes thats what i think
or Raphina to Soucek?
Raph > Soucek is good too.
In DRAFT.
I got offered KDB for my Son. Thinking of taking it.
KDB has one more game to play then Son aswell.
What a steal, take it!
Lloris
Stones / Cancelo / AWB / Tierney
KDB / Bruno / Rashford / Son / Saka
Kane (c)
Subs: Bellerin / Fodder / Fodder
Good to go?
Think I manged to get a strong FH line up including bench to cover any changes after the deadline (apart from GK)
Ramsdale
Tierney, cancelo, Shaw
KdB, Bruno, Son, Saka
Laca, Kane, Wilson
Bench: Gundo, Sais, Kilman
Any changes to the starting 11?
Cheaper bench and a better GK I'd say. Ramsdale is a bit of a stinker.
This and Kilman to Mitchell.
Bench is not needed for FH, it's not a WC, just go all out.
Has the rearranged fixture changed your captaincy plans? I still think De Bruyne is the standout pick but Son/Kane is kinda tempting.
On Kane currently
Switched from?
Considered it but I consider Brighton the worst of the three teams defensively and watching KDB indicates to me that he's playing at an outstanding level right now, so he'll be my captain.
I tend to agree. A couple of assists and a pen hopefully.
What’s going on with this Leeds Southampton fixture?
I'm guessing nothing in the short term mate. The PL would have used this morning announcement if they were going to change anything for 18
Just Ben Crellin things
United fans, what do you think of Rashford? The few United games I've watched he seemed isolated on the wing and certainly didnt justify his 9.6m fpl price tag.
His xG is decent but Im not really convinced that he'll score highly
Has returned in every away game this season and has 4 seats games in his next 4 GWs
*seats = away
Wilson flagged in Fffix - muscular tightness?
Pictures training today
Which combo you prefer on a free hit?
A) Saka, Holding, Ramsdale
B) Smith Rowe, Dier, Leno
Thanks!
B

Last couple of spots in FH team:
(A) Gundogan & Wan-Bissaka
(B) Smith- Rowe & Cancelo
Currently on B

Best option out of these on FH?
A) Lloris, Tierney, Maguire, Saka & Rashford
B) DDG, Tierney, Rowe, Laca & Martial
C) DDG, Holding, Saka, Laca & Martial

One week punt - Auba or Bruno?
Bruno, not a punt though
Even if you get x2 points for Auba I would get Bruno.
Waiting for Pep presser to find out, nothing...
Darlow -> Leno for FH drafts in the midst of rumors that Dubravka might start?
Yes.
Looks like it. I really cant see Darlow being dropped but Leno is a good option too
Was planning to carry 11 players into gw18 now I'm down to 8.
Holding Mitchell Cancelo Dias
Son Bruno KDB
Kane
Subs - Martinez, Peacock-Farrell, KWP, Grealish, CJones, DCL, Bamford
Have 1 FT and 1.1 itb.
Did want to carry this over as I could make 2-3 changes for dgw19. Now my team looks a bit light and feel I need to make the change now.
Would prefer to bring in a player that I'd play for gw18 and gw19. Should I:
A - KWP to AWB
B - DCL to Laca
C - other
D - hold my transfer and go with 8 players
Cheers

If my maths is correct then there's approximately a 60% chance that Leeds vs Southampton won't need be removed from DGW19 - Crellin
40% chance of it being removed is a dangerously high amount
It's 5/31 + 5/15 assuming all those 5 teams win and not draw each other, so that's 49% max.
Slight change to last team posted. How's this FH team looking now??
Darlow
Cancelo / Tierney / Lascelles
Saka / KDB / Son (c) / Rashford/ Bruno
Kane / Lacazette
Bench is all fodder.
What should I do? Willing to take a hit to field 8 this week, 1FT 0.1itb, strujik balbuena to Mitchell Clark -4?
Stones holding
Kdb Bruno son
Kane
Martinez Forster kwp balbuena strujik salah soucek bamford davis
Can someone kindly run the rule over this team for gw18.
LENO
TIERNEY/DIER/STONES/LINDELOF
SON/RASHFORD/KDB/SAHA/FERNANDES
KANE
SUB:BREWSTER
TYVM

KDB, Bruno, Son, Saka
Kane, Lacazette
Forster, Brewster, Mitchell, Hendrick
0.1m ITB
