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.

    King now flagged? Is this because he is utter useless or is he doubtful? I assumed he would be dropped anyway

        Tough decision: free trade- Fernandes out, Son in?

        Bruno in slightly better form but upcoming fixtures not great (City and Liverpool 2 of next 3, after Watford). Son on a dysfunctional club but playing well and could easily go big against Leeds—I see that being more likely than Bruno doing the same against Watford, who will look to take the air out of the ball. Son also has a much nicer, longer run of up coming fixtures.

        Leaning towards Son. What say y’all?
