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 🙂

Conclusion

    A) EDERSON
    Luiz - Azpi - Schlupp - YOUNG
    Hazard - Sterling - Pogba - SON
    Aguero - Bats

    or?

    B) DE GEA
    Luiz - Azpi - Schlupp
    Hazard - Sterling - Pogba - D.SILVA
    Aguero - Bats - JIMMY/RASH

    1. HUMAN TRIPOD
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      A) but Rashford instead of Son?

    2. che_salah_salah
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      I like (A) but with Alli instead of Son. Dele is fresh after an injury comeback and could finish season strongly; Son is out of form.

      Ederson
      Luiz - Azpi - XXX
      Hazard - Sterling - Pogba - ALLI
      Aguero - Bats - Jimenez

      XXX = Lindelöf or Schlupp?

      1. che_salah_salah
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        Schlupp for me. A defender playing as a midfielder hence defensive and attacking points available.

  2. simong1
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

    A or B?

    A)
    Kepa
    Azpi - Lindelof - Shlupp
    Pogba - Hazard - Sterling - David Silva
    Batsman - Rashford - Aguero

    B)
    Ederson
    Azpi - Lindelof - AWB
    Pogba - Hazard - Sterling - Son
    Batsman - Rashford - Aguero

    1. FatmanAndRobin
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Id go A - but Azpi -> Laporte (as you have Kepa)

      1. simong1
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        That would give me 4 MCI players unfortunately so not possible!

        1. FatmanAndRobin
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 3 days ago

          Ah - didnt spot that... Still A though

    2. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      A. For sure
      Can you do Kepa to DDG and Lindel to Azpi ?

  3. FatmanAndRobin
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

    I think I'm finally done (said no one never)

    Ederson

    Azpi/Lind/Schlupp

    Hazard/Sterling/Pogba/Mili/Del

    Kane/Aguero

    Bench fodder

      Looks good!

  4. Delta Varane'iant
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

    I guess it's mostly template and still dependent on Man Utd's team news but any thoughts on this?

    Ederson
    Young, Luiz, Schlupp
    Haz, Sterling, Pog, Deulofeu
    Aguero, Rash, Jimenez

    Got 2.2itb. I fancy Young over the other united defenders, just incase he whips in an assist and despite rotation risk, I fancy Deulofeu vs Fulham.

    1. Jönny
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      I'd be a little worried about rotation with Deulo & Jimi... but that mid-priced bracket is tricky.

      Batshuayi, Milivojevic are options... or even Townsend.

      It may even be worth looking at options outside of the double: Leiecster have a good fixture, for example, and look like scoring goals under Rodgers.

  5. Jönny
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

    I've got very low team value, and struggling a little with finding value in midfield... with that in mind, I've just put together a rather unfashionable 5-2-3, even including one single gameweek player.

    Crazy, or inspired?

    Ederson
    Luiz, Rudiger, Smalling, Kolasinac, Schlupp
    Sterling, Hazard
    Aguero, Kane, Batshuayi

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Looking good. Would perhaps prefer Duffy to Kola (If fit)

  6. shadeslayer
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

    Kepa
    Luiz Laporte dunk
    Son/dilva pogba sterling hazard
    Rash kun bats

    Or

    Kepa
    Luiz lindelof shlup
    Son dilva pogba sterling hazard
    Aguero bats

    Any suggestions guys??

    1. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      The first one with Schlupp in place of Dunk imo...

  7. FPL Pillars
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

    Any suggestions folks
    Ederson
    Azpi Schlupp Duffy
    Sterling Hazard Pogba Deulofeu
    Kane Aguero Rashford

    Assuming all are fit.

    Cheers all.

    2. Visionaries
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Am looking at a very similar team, just not convinced Kane is worth it. Especially as he won't be captain

    3. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      My concern is Harry. I would prefer Higuain or Batsman and upgrade Deulo to DSilva.( Ederson to Kepa )

  8. Tosa86
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

    doubt on manchester united men:

    Ederson
    david luiz - lindelof - schlupp
    sterling (vC) - pogba - milivojevic - hazard
    aguero (C) - lukaku - batshuayi

    if i choose lukaku --> lindelof and david luiz as options
    if i choose rashford --> smalling and azpilicueta as options.

    1. Sargasso C
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Lukaku is a big doubt to even play...

      1. Tosa86
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        rashford too...or any news?

      2. AuFeld
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        Source for doubt?

        1. Tosa86
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 days ago

          lukaku and rashford are in doubts. so my doubt was born with their situation.

    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!

    ?

    1. Max City

      B

    2. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      B to should get you more points, in theory, but media are reporting that Kaku may be rested for another week to avoid reinjuring his foot. If that pans out, Rashford will be a good bet.

  20. Max City
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

    Which one?

    A) Otamendi - Eriksen - Jota
    B) DLuiz - Doherty - DSilva

    1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      I assume you are talking about different formations which makes this tricky. I guess I would go A because I think 343 will do better than 433. That said, Otamendi isn’t nailed for two games. If you really like Eriksen and Jota, you might consider DLuiz instead of Otamendi.

  21. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

    Experimenting with a 5-2-3...thoughts?

    Kepa
    Azpilicueta Trippier Laporte Young Schlupp
    Sterling Hazard
    Aguero Lukaku Zaha

    Norris Romeu Schneiderlin McDonald

    1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Personally, its not my cup of tea, though I am wondering if you might have a budget issue. Kaku is a serious doubt, and you could raise money by going to Rash (who is also a doubt, but looking more likely to start). Then take Young or Trippier and invest in Pog or even Son or Eriksen if funds permit. Trippier, in particular, strikes me as risky.

  22. Max City

    My third FH draft:

    Ederson

    My biggest concern is Eriksen, as he's now playing in a deeper role, so I'm open with suggestions.

    Ederson (Hamer)
    Luiz, Dunk, Schlupp Lindelof (Simpson)

    [KEPA]
    [LAPORTE] [YOUNG] Azpilicueta Schlupp

    I was set on this backline but I have seen comments saying that Laporte is no longer secure with Stones and Mendy back in training.

    To preserve the CHE/MCI/MUN core, how about Ederson/Luiz/Smalling? I feel it's a downgrade because:

    - Luiz himself might not play (been told Christensen is likely to seal minutes before the Europa League game)
    - Smalling is plain boring as compared to Young who participates in United's attack
    - Not overly excited about double Chelsea DEF
