In this article, we will have a look at my current Free Hit team for Gameweek 34.

Most of the squad will have a familiar ring to it, so rather than waffle on about Mohamed Salah (£13.8m) and Alexander Isak (£9.5m), I’ll instead focus the majority of my words on a few other players I like, who I haven’t seen in quite so many RMT’s.

JARROD BOWEN

West Ham United haven’t been great from an attacking perspective under Graham Potter.

But in light of the opposition, I fancy Jarrod Bowen (£7.5m) to do well this weekend.

Brighton and Hove Albion have conceded 13 goals in their last five matches and will be without influential centre-back Jan Paul van Hecke (£4.5m), who is undergoing concussion protocols.

Fabian Hurzeler opted for Carlos Baleba (£5.0m) as an emergency centre-back the last time he missed out, and while he did pretty well, it was a poor overall performance by the Seagulls, with relegated Leicester City scoring twice and grabbing a rare point.

As for Bowen, he’s ticked along since returning from injury, with four goals and two assists in 10 starts, but I think he’s capable of hauling tomorrow, given how Brighton were picked apart on the counter-attack by Brentford last week.

In fact, only Leicester have conceded more counter-attack shots over the last five Gameweeks than Brighton, which could play into the hands of Bowen at the Amex.

    Is 3 Newcastle attackers too much.

    1. Jimmy B

      I'd be more confident of them scoring 3-4 goals than keeping a cs to be honest

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 12 Years
        21 days, 10 hours ago

        That's what I'm thinking.

    2. nolard

      no

    3. AC/DC AFC

      It's the way to go

      I'd add 3 Newcastle defenders if I could too

    What are the 4 most important players to own this GW, apart from the regulars like Isak and Salah?

    Cunha
    Diaz
    Murphy/Barnes

    and who else?

  4. GoonerSteve
    • 15 Years

    2. nolard
      • 10 Years
      21 days, 10 hours ago

      Depends if you are defending or attacking rank.

  5. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Play Kepa (MUN) or Sanchez (EVE)?

  6. WhatWouldYourZlatanSay

    Is it silly to go Cunha AND strand L to cover wolves attack?

    1. H.E. Pennypacker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      21 days, 10 hours ago

      that´s what I am doing.

  7. Kiwivillan

    Less than hour before lockout. No relevant team news?

  8. darlo1883
    • 13 Years
    21 days, 10 hours ago

    Sels
    TAA Sess RAN
    Salah c Diaz Barnes Murphy
    Larsen Isak Cunha
    Sanchez Mbuemo Milenkovic Kerkez

    GTG or too many triple ups?

  9. Jet5605

    Best combo

    A - Pope & Cucu
    B - Sanchez & Trippier

    I like A but the good thing about B is that Trippier could get subbed off early before Ipswich nick a late goal

    1. Drizzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      21 days, 10 hours ago

      I'm on A but you make a good point. Maybe 50/50.

  10. Drizzle

    Final decision.

    An out of form Raul away to a poor Southampton

    Or an in form Welbeck home to a better team in West Ham, but Brighton generally are in a poor run of form.

    Damn. Any thoughts guys?

    Strand Larsen or Iwobi?

    Cheers

    1. Viper

      Strand Larsen

  12. GoonerSteve
    • 15 Years
    21 days, 9 hours ago

    Aby good? Or switch Pope and Mbuemo to Sels and Murphy?

    Pope
    TAA, Sess, RAN
    Salah (c), Diaz, Barnes, Palmer, Mbeumo
    Usak, Cunha

    (Leno, Wood, Milenkovic, Scarles)

  13. Viper
    • 15 Years
    21 days, 9 hours ago

    Strand Larsen or Jimenez to join Cunha upfront?
