Share

We continue our series of articles on the best Free Hit squad for Double Gameweek 32 by looking at the defenders.

Those that have been considered are players who have two fixtures in the upcoming round of action.

Data from the Fantasy Football Scout members area has been pivotal to our research to pick out options who not only have a chance of keeping clean sheets but also adding attacking returns too.

For that reason, Fantasy Football Scout members can now read on and assess the analysis for themselves.

Those without membership can still enjoy the weekend’s article on the best Double Gameweek 32 goalkeepers for free.

Now that we are past the half-way stage of the season, memberships are now available for just £10, so make sure you get the most of it while you can by signing up HERE.

      Great looking team. The only change I would make is going for Schlupp over Duffy but either way it's a nice team.

    It's funny how certain players that we would historically want for these DGWs are being overlooked. Alonso, Son, Sane, Alli...wouldn't be surprised if one of them hauled big time

    Hi everyone! I’m a student in decision-making and I’m doing a study on how Fantasy Premier League players make their decisions when choosing their team for a gameweek. As a passionate Fantasy Premier League player I’m really fascinated by this research topic, and it would mean the world to me if you’d be willing to take just a few minutes of your time to complete my survey. This should take no longer than 5 minutes! Thank you all so much!

    Thinking of shipping out Kane and Son to this week to Hazard and 1 other due to no spurs in GW33.

    Do I resist and leave as is and swap next week or swap now and absorb -4 in week when I have 8 players playing twice and triple capt? I’ve used my free hit so even with a hit I can only field 7 players in Gw33

    Looking at Hazard and either Batshuayi or Higuaín, thoughts?

      Do I TC:

      a) Aguero
      b) Hazard

      I'm between Hazard and Aguero. Hazard got 33 points against Cardiff and Brighton this season and is almost guaranteed to play 180 mins. Aguero solid pick obviously but doesn't seem to score against bad opposition. (Also have Sterling and Pogba) Any recommendations would help a lot 😀

        People here think Spurs will win against Liverpool? Seeing a lot of Kanes in FH teams. Palace not bad defensively as well.

          Kane can score against anyone but 12.5 probably not worth it

            Sure. But Pool has been the best in the league this year defensively. If it wasnt for then Pool game id probably get him.

          Not necessarily winning but on pens, a goal a game maybe. Just not sure of value enough if not capping.

            I think the value argument is not as strong if on a FH, but it all depends on TV

          Spurs don’t have to win for Kane to score. Liverpool just conceded 2 to Burnley so aren’t completely infallible at the back.
