G-Whizz’s RMFHT

Let me start off by saying this is a first draft; obviously decisions on who makes the final cut will be made nearer the deadline and of course IB injuries permitting..

Kepa (Stekelenburg)

Luiz, Laporte, Schlupp and AWB

Hazard, Sterling(C), Pogba

Rashford, Kane, Aguero (VC)

Bench: Stephens, Romeu and Simpson

The Remainers:
Only Luiz, Laporte, Pogba, and Aguero make it into the first draft and will more than likely make the final cut too.

The Exiteers:
Fabianski, Steele, van Dijk, Robertson, Evans, Mané, Maddison, Fraser, Anderson, King, Vardy and Success.

By Position

Goalkeepers
Kepa makes the comes in as I go for a Chelsea defensive double up. Stekelenburg was brought in for Steele who looks as if he could drop in price so why take the risk? Never know when you might need that £0.1m on a Free Hit…

Defenders
AWB and Schlupp come in to double up the Crystal Palace defence, chance Schlupp could deliver attacking returns too.

Luiz completes the Chelsea defensive double up. I’m not entirely convinced with Chelsea’s current form but Cardiff and Brighton is too hard to refuse. Decent chance of at least one clean sheet there imo.

Laporte completes the four man back line as the first part of a Manchester City triple up.

Midfielders
Can’t see my FH team going without either Sterling (possible Captain) or Hazard, surely everyone and their dog will have those two. Pogba (another Remainer) makes up my trio in midfield.

Forwards
Aguero is another holding strong claims for the armband. Kane is Kane, could do anything, score a brace against Liverpool and blank against Crystal Palace! Who knows with Spurs at the moment, I think some will have to choose between him and other big hitters but for now, he can stay. Rashford slots in nicely and could be nice value…

Original team value: £107.1m
Free Hit team value: £105.7m (ITB: £0.2m)

Obviously some things will change (news on rotation, injuries etc.) and new ideas will no doubt come to the fore, but as a first draft it’ll do for now. Will still be tinkering right through the International Break and see where and what we end up with 🙂

    Please feel free to post your FH team here. Also, comment on other people's teams!

    We are trying to get some of the traffic away from the main articles for FH RMT content - that will only work if users post here but, importantly, respond to others here. Help the conversation along and try to keep RMT content in this article as much as possible!

    If you're FHing this week, what's your team? Do you have questions for others? Players or positions you can't decide on?

        Wouldn't trust Spurs at the moment, they lost 2-0 to Palace in the cup and also play Liverpool. Would probably swap Alli for Martial possibly?

        What formation will you use?
        Currently see 5 midfielders and 3 strikers - totally playable all, in my opinion!
        Maybe if you downgrade one of the 8, you can upgrade somewhere else in the starting 11?

        This is exactly what I'm thinking except budget allows Azpi + Alli over Luiz + Son. Decision for me comes down to:

        Dilva, Schlupp, Kepa

        or

        Zaha, Luiz, Ederson

      Thank god a dedicated thread has been created for this. All I am seeing on the site is people posting their teams and asking for comments. I couldn't be any less interested in seeing people's teams and rating them to be honest. I find it is similar to when somebody tells you about a dream they had. Incredibly boring. What's more, do you really want to give advice and help other managers you are competing against??

      1. Geoff

        5 years, 28 days ago

        I think the last point isn't totally valid - the whole point of posting on this site is to get help and receive it. If no one did it, no one would benefit.

        But you're right, the point of the thread is for people to get advice! And if people don't give advice then they won't get it. It has to be reciprocal

        I don't think you really get the concept of a "community". It might explain why you've been registered on FFS for 7 years and I've rarely ever seen you post.

        Perhaps if I was top 50 I might keep my cards closer to my chest, but why else visit this site if it's not about exchanging ideas on FPL?

          I have posted a lot actually. I visit and use the site predominantly to access the research already done by others to assist my decision making. It's just a personal thing but I just find rate my team posts quite nauseating and seems a complete waste of time to me.

      My team so far:

      Guaita Boruc

      Tomkins AWB Jonny Valery Luiz

      Pogba Sterling Hazard B.Silva Stephens

      Aguero Rashford Higuain

      Very top heavy team with zero budget left thoughts appreciated.

      1. luv4rotties
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 28 days ago

        Given that you will start with:
        > Guaita
        > AWB * Luiz * Jonny (or Tomkins)
        > Pogba * Sterling * Hazard * B. Silva
        > Aguero * Rashford * Higuain

        Would suggest to downgrade the outfield players & see if you want / can upgrade the defence slightly.

        1. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 28 days ago

          I'm not convinced by Higuain at all, would much rather Vardy at home to Bournemouth, even with just his one game. Defence looks weak and needs upgrading. Valery > 3.8m Def and Stephens > 4.2m Mid might give you enough to upgrade Tomkins to Dunk or Duffy

      I can’t decide on which of these two FH teams I should run with (both with rubbish benches):

      (A) Guiata / Schlupp / Luiz / Laporte / Lindelof / Sterling / Hazard / Pogba / Rashford / Kane / Aguero

      (B) Kepa / Luiz / Laporte / Lindelof / Sterling / Hazard / Pogba / Eriksen / Rashford / Zaha / Aguero

      Basically a choice between Kane and palace defensive double up or Eriksen, Zaha and double Chelsea defence.

      I’d really appreciate your views!

    13. HollywoodXI
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 26 days ago

      On FH. Three spots up for grabs and can’t decide:

      (A) 442 - Schlupp, Romeu, Rashford
      (B) 343 - Peltier, Deleufeo, Jiminez

      I prefer B but worried about Watford / Wolves rotation. Thoughts?

    14. AllGonePozzo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Ederson Hamer
      Luiz Smalling Doherty AWB Cathcart
      Hazard Sterling Pogba Delefeou Camarasa
      Rashford Aguero Higuain.

      Will captain Aguero. May do Ederson and Luiz to Kepa and Laporte. Prefer the latter but RMT says former better. What do others think?

    My draft

    Laporte Lindelof Tomkins
    Sterling Hazard Pog
    Aguero Higuain

    Pick one
    A Ryan Luiz Rashford
    B Kepa Pereyra Zaha

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 28 days ago

      Why Tomkins over the other CPL options?

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 28 days ago

        Cheaper. And 100 percent nailed on.
        Decent goal threat too.

        Can get Schlupp .. but you never know he has been benched the odd game before

      2. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 28 days ago

        Is double Palace defence worth it?
        Could get one from brighton maybe to spread the risk.

        Considered the double Chelsea defence earlier. But A Higuain brace in any of the fixture could easily outscore the 12/13 points the double defence could get

        1. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 28 days ago

          Really?

          How many points do you expect from a a Higuaín brace?

          1. Zladan
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 28 days ago

            2 goals = 8
            2 60+mins = 4
            Likely max baps for goals = 3

            15.

  3. Amey
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 28 days ago

    Alright, let me try this 🙂
    Please RMT

    Kepa
    Luiz Schlupp Duffy
    Sterling Hazard Pogba B Silva
    Lukaku Aguero Batshuyayi

    1. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 28 days ago

      Nice team. Apart from Batsy and Lukaku i like everything.(lol)

      Also can Bilva outscore the 2 cs that a city defender would get?

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 28 days ago

        Ha ha
        Lukaku is in definitely if fit.
        Bats is due to low cash unfortunately.

        I'm backing B Silva to outscore City defender.
        CS is not a given right ?? City concede 1 against those minnows. So ..

    2. ChuckN
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Wow I have this exact same lineup except david silva for bsilva and Foster for Kepa.

      Like it a lot.

  4. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 28 days ago

    Ederson

    Azpilicueta - Lindelof - AWB

    Sterling - Hazard - Pogba - Deulofeu

    Aguero - Rashford - Jiminez

    Bench: Hamer; Romeu; Simpson; Connolly

    1. GS456
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 28 days ago

      Deulofeu and Jiminez rotation worries me.

      I’ve gone for David Silva over Ederson, but may switch back yet.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 28 days ago

      Looks grand - there are worries about Deulofeu but if he starts against Fulham you could be laughing

    3. Mingo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 28 days ago

      Jimenez worries me too as an owner. The positive is that Wolves simply don't have another number 9. The only time they didn't start with him in the league this year was away at Newcastle. They won 2-1 and played Jota, Costa and Traore. Santo might well limit his gametime by bring him off around 60 minutes (he did this vs Watford and Brighton earlier in the season) but generally he last past 80 minutes in every game he starts

      The Game against Burnley is on Saturday and United is Tuesday night. The FA cup quarter final is Sunday.

  5. GS456
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 28 days ago

    Kepa
    Luiz, AWB, Lindelof
    Dilva, Hazard, Sterling, Pogba
    Aguero (c), Rashford, Jiminez

    Only doubt now is Jiminez. Might go for Zaha or batshuayi. Or milly in a 3-5-2

    worried about fa cup rotation for Watford, Wolves and Brighton.

    Spurs Liverpool away/new stadium isn’t easy.

    Got the main triple ups I think

    1. MTPockets
        5 years, 28 days ago

        Would monitor whether Jimenez plays 27th (mexico in the US).
        I think he was allowed to return home early last time or one before that anyway.

      • My neck my back my Saed Kol…
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 28 days ago

        Pretty much the exact same team with upgrades on Azpilicueta and Schlupp

    2. Halmari Tea
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 28 days ago

      Kepa *
      PVA* Kolasinac Doherty*
      Sterling* Hazard* Deuleufo* jota*
      Vardy higuain* jimenez*

      * double fixtures

      used my FH last week so this is my triple captain team

      1. MTPockets
          5 years, 28 days ago

          Arsenal have a good fixture, and Vardy vs bou is decent.
          Have to hope the 3 Wolves get both games, but looks good

        1st RMT in a long time 😀

        Pogba : Jota : Sterling : Hazard

        Agüero : Jiménez : Higuaín

        Speroni : Oriol Romeu : Stankovic : Valery

        1. MTPockets

            Very good if Wolves perform. I'm still undecided on Jimenez

              • 7 Years
              5 years, 28 days ago

              Me neither to be honest. But I don't wanna go without Kane and don't think there is a better option for Son

          Luiz Laporte Schlupp
          Sterling Hazard Pogba Deulofeu
          Aguero Lukaku Zaha

          Higuain and Rashford options for last two striking positions, too.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 28 days ago

            I like Lukaku as a potential differential if he's fit.

            1. zon
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 28 days ago

              He's been in fire recently. Thinking this "injury" of his will just keep him nice and fresh for the double.

          2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 28 days ago

            Like it.
            Maybe Rashford and Son
            Over Kaku and Deulofeu if affordable?

            1. zon
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 28 days ago

              Yeah, that's one option on the paper definitely. Lukaku's form just hard to ignore.

          At the moment I'm trying to choose between Hazard and Kane for my draft FH team. Only got a TV of 102m so struggling to fit them both in.

          Which would you go for here?

          Draft A (0.7m left)
          Ederson
          Luiz / AWB / Lindelof
          Sterling / Pedro / Pogba / Milivojevic
          Aguero / Kane / Jimenez

          Draft B:
          Kepa
          Laporte / AWB / Lindelof
          Sterling / Hazard / Pogba / Pedro or Mili
          Aguero / Rashford / Jimenez

          Thanks

            B. It's likely that Pedro won't start both games.

              B, with no Pedro. Never know who will start Pedro or Willian

            Anyone going Higuain over a second Chelsea defender?

            Chelsea's defence isnt really the best especially at set pieces and that is where Cardiff and Brighton thrive . Can see them getting 1.

            Higuain isnt setting the league alight...but after a good rest and playing against weaker opposition i fancy him to do well

            1. MTPockets
                5 years, 28 days ago

                Most likely yes

                Yes.
                Got Azpi for assists and thinking Duffy for that very reason

              Can't see how to change this

              Ederson
              Lindelöf Schlupp David Luiz
              Pogba Deulofeu Sterling Hazard
              Rashford Agüero Kane

              Speroni Stephens Valery Peltier

                  It's very good, if confident in Kane for those fixtures.
                  Deulofeu could get rotated, but then so could anybody in a DGW

                  Thanks! Am also playing with the idea of Azpil for Luiz but that means non playing bench, and maybe a punt on Hudson instead of Stephens.

                £0.2m ITB -4 taken already

                My only worry is no Sterling. Can do Salah > Sterling but that's 1 less player for the blank next week leaving me with 8..

                  I like Wolves players but everyone keeps talking about rotation so I'm staying clear

                    Don't let people talk you into something, listen to your gut! I see every team has Pogba and a combination of Rashford & Lukaku. United are in the same position as Watford & Wolves (with the exception of an FA cup semi final), they play Saturday & Tuesday.

                    For what it's worth I will be going with Jimenez & Doherty. There is more of a rotation risk with Doherty than there is Jimenez as there are more replacements at full back. However I'm prepared to risk it.

                    I'd take Sterling in a DGW for 4pt cost

                  Your FH team looks Good G!!

                  You sure about the double palace def?

                  Think it's missing United def.

                  Can someone help me get Haz and or Laporte into the below first FH draft?

                  Kepa (Ryan)

                  Luiz / Duffy / Schlupp (Lindelof / AWB)

                  Mili / Pedro / Pogba / Sterling (c) (Camarasa)

                      Looks like you have to choose between them and Kane

                      Downgrade Kepa, Lindelöf, AWB
                      Upgrade Pedro to Hazard
                      If money not enough downgrade Rashford

                        can't get much cheaper than some of them?!

                        Is Vardy a choice, or not playing chip?
                        Rest looks fine

                          5 years, 28 days ago

                          Vardy is a choice. I am going with the front 3 of Kane Aguero and Vardy

                          1. MTPockets
                              5 years, 28 days ago

                              Fair enough. I'm totally blinkered on DGWers but no doubt there'll be some single game top trumps

                              1. luv4rotties

                                This is my concern, as well!
                                Really like the look of 11 x DGW players, but for sure there is always a risk of a blank in 1 of the 2 games vs. a double-digit haul by someone like Vardy against Bournemouth...

                                Still need to base the decision on probability though -> opting for the best choice of DGW player in my opinion.

                                1. MTPockets
                                    5 years, 28 days ago

                                    Yeah it tends to happen (esp when supposed DGWers only get one game), but I'll still choose to roll the dice

                            Why AWB and not Schlupp? Not really convinced by Lindelof either but interesting side.

                          Hey all. Any thoughts on the below FH team?

                          Ederson
                          Lindelof - Schlupp - Luiz
                          Sterling - Pogba - Hazard - Son
                          Aguero - Rashford - Jimenez

                          1. Bodini
                            • 8 Years
                            5 years, 28 days ago

                            really like this team

                          2. Lemongrab
                            • 14 Years
                            5 years, 28 days ago

                            Not convinced by Son (not in form and tough 2 games) but otherwise solid. Slight rotation risk for Jiminez

                            1. La Roja
                              • 12 Years
                              5 years, 28 days ago

                              Son is finally having some time off though. Could be gold for DGW

                              1. simong1
                                • 5 Years
                                5 years, 28 days ago

                                Son is away for 2 international matches with Korea so not quite time off!

                                1. La Roja
                                  • 12 Years

                                  No way jose! Wasn’t aware of that

                            Tell me how you afforded this team

                            what's your bench like?!

                            ...oh I think I figured it out. No Kane, risky

                            1. simong1
                              • 5 Years
                              5 years, 28 days ago

                              Yep, no Kane and a complete fodder bench - two 3.8 defenders and one 4.2 mid.

                              Very tempted by Kane but would have to downgrade Son to Kante and Luiz to Doherty/Duffy

                              1. The Mantis
                                • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                                5 years, 28 days ago

                                Still they're pretty good downgrades if you want him. I have Duffy

                                1. simong1
                                  • 5 Years
                                  5 years, 28 days ago

                                  Yeah not the worst, just feel the cheaper option in Son is better so that it allows an improved defence. Still debating it though!

                        3. Bodini
                          • 8 Years
                          5 years, 28 days ago

                          Foster/Patricio
                          Luiz Doherty Laporte
                          Sterling Pogba Hazard Milivojevic
                          Higuan Jiminez Aguero

                          0.8m left, could make goalkeeper DeGea

                            On paper this should be really good!
                            I have Jimenez, as well, in my FH draft team right now, but I am a bit concerned with rotation about Wolves options!
                            Especially Doherty, who has been rested before cup games in the past.

                              thanks for your reply. Yeah I didn't realize the risk until someone pointed it out to me today. I could put Rashford in instead but his form is not great

                          5 years, 28 days ago

                          Is Bats a better pick than Jimenez considering the rotation risk of Jimenez?

                            I'm torn between the two. Jiminez has played pretty much every game but if hes ever going to get rested it's now.

                          2. Bodini
                            • 8 Years
                            5 years, 28 days ago

                            is Jimenez a rotation risk?

                              Away with Mexico and FA cup semi final days after that second game.

                                This is UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!

                                Sorry I couldn't resist. Thanks, I hadn't considered this

                          I'm currently on

                          De Gea
                          Luiz Azpi AWB
                          Pogba Hazard Sterling Bilva
                          Rashford Kun Bats
                          (Fodder)

                          Any advice. Not 100% convinced about Bilva but just want as much city attacking coverage for those juicy games and the inevitable rotation. Thanks!

                            Looks good, actually think Bilva is a good option for the DGW.

                            I like it!

                            Personally wouldn't go for double Chelsea defence though. I've spent my 3rd city slot on Laporte and gone Higuain up front

                            DDG? I wouldn’t put United on for a cs myself. But like the front 7 a lot.

                          So most of the FH teams lacking Liverpool players as excepted.

                          Current FH starting 11

                          De Gea
                          Luiz - Azil - Laporte
                          Haz - Pog - Sterling - Delefeu
                          Lukaku - Aguero - Zaha

                          Bench is 3.9 and under

                            Very nice, need to keep an eye on Lukaku injory and possible rotation for Delefeu though

                          Luiz or Rudiger? Is Luiz nailed?

                          1. luv4rotties

                            5 years, 28 days ago

                            Luiz has started 1 game less than Rudiger in the Premier League (28 vs 29) so far, but attacking and bonus potential is fully on Luiz' favor (4 vs 2 attacking returns and 16 vs 7 bonus points).

                            Hope it helps.

                          Trying something a little different?

                            Like the different approach!
                            Attach is 'red-hot' & midfield is looking good (especially if Lukaku is not fit -> giving good probability of Rashford playing up-front with Martial on the left).
                            Maybe save 0,4 from downgrading Kiko Fem to a 3,8 DEF (e.g. Connoly)?

                            1. thunder_mike

                              I will monitor the Lukaku/Martial situation. Probably will downgrade Kiko, would be nice to have at least 1 playing sub though.

                          How does this look ?

                            Close to my one so must be good! Not sure on the Chelsea attacking double up but who knows considering the opposition!

                              For me its either attacking double up or def double up, not fully decided yet

                          0.0 itb

                          Thinking of doing Higuain to Jimenez and get Man City representation in Defence (Laporte)

                            5 years, 28 days ago

                            If Chelsea find some form in the 2 games of this GW, it could be really good to have both Hazard & Higuain.
                            However, switching Shaw, who is on 9 yellow cards would be a move I would make.
                            Maybe Lindelof, if you do not want to alter your setup too much?

                            Would consider Ryan, PVA -> Foster, Schlupp

                              Thanks. I'm unsure because I can see United putting four past Watford. Also someone told me Schlupp isn't nailed because he's playing in midfield? Otherwise I'd deffo get him.

                          This FH team scores 134.39 in the RMT tool for DGW32:

                          Ederson
                          Azpi, Smalling, Luiz
                          Sterling, Hazard, Pogba, Son
                          Aguero, Rashford, Jimenez
                          Bench: Fodder

                          Keeper: Ederson highest points scorer in reverse fixtures with 2 CS, more nailed than Laporte

                          Defense: Azpi and Luiz for the Chelsea double-up as I don't really trust our attack but we will have plenty of possession. Both players do offer attacking potential. Smalling/Lindelof/Shaw for my other defender, although Schlupp is also an option.

                          Midfield: Sterling, Hazard and Pogba are standard, obviously very high upside. Son is possible but can also be a place holder for a cheaper midfield punt.

                          Forward: Aguero and Rashford (assuming not injured) also nailed in my team. Jimenez is a rank 'shield' as he is extremely highly owned and consistently scoring points. Not sure I buy into the rotation theories either.

                            Shaw's one card from a ban - avoid.

                            Like you, this is the highest I have been able to get out of the RMT tool given my budget. I also ran a linear optimization in excel. Same Result.
