Ex-FPL champion Simon March’s Gameweek 27 team and Free Hit thoughts

301 Comments
Share

Former Fantasy Premier League (FPL) champion Simon March joins Az on the eve of another deadline to look ahead to Gameweek 27.

Az and Simon, in for the unavailable Mark, reflect on how they got on in the Gameweek just gone (or about to go!) and how their teams are set up for Gameweek 27.

Simon also shares his thoughts on using the Free Hit chip in the upcoming Gameweek and whether there is enough upside to justify its deployment.

    Coufal just had groin surgery - probable makes Johnson a regular starter for a bit (Fredericks was garbage the other day)

            Man FF is such a blur that long ago - I do remember the 14m price tag tho. Salah at 15m would indeed make things very interesting, I must admit. I think he'll be priced at 13m though, maybe 13.5 at a push.

              I think he'll be 14 at least this time. Rvp got that price tag for less. Was really surprised they didn't have Salah at 14 after his 300 point season

            It's frustrating as holding triple Arsenal has had a major influence on how I've played over the last few weeks. If he had been explicitly either fit or injured I could have planned accordingly but he seems to have been permanently on the verge of returning.
