My Free Hit draft for FPL Double Gameweek 30+

As the Fantasy Premier League Double Gameweek 30+ deadline edges ever closer, I am feeling more confident about my latest draft.

As you know, it has been a strange few months. So strange in fact I now own three Manchester United players but only two from Liverpool.

I made the most of the slow Wildcard over the last few weeks, bringing in players who had good overall fixtures left, although in hindsight the decision to play the fixtures in the same order was a pretty obvious outcome, and one I didn’t think much about.

With £2.0m in the bank my team is flexible enough, at least from Gameweek 31+ onwards.

The only chip I have left is Free Hit. While I’m quite happy with this side for Gameweek 31+ (as happy as anyone can be not knowing how teams and players are going to react to the long break, and who might be in form), I’m not so happy about it for Gameweek 30+. There are not enough Double Gameweek players for my liking.

As there aren’t any more Double Gameweeks planned I don’t see a great reason for holding the Free Hit chip with only nine Gameweeks to go and that’s why it will be activated before Wednesday’s 5pm deadline. Here’s how the current draft looks.

andys-pp-article 1

There’s some players that have been in every single draft so far, they’re the more obvious picks, lets get them out of the way first:

Sergio Aguero (£11.8m) has scored 16 goals already this season, that’s the same as Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) in 849 fewer minutes. There’s naturally concerns about the Argentinian getting two starts but I’m hoping the temporary five substitute rule may actually help teams like Manchester City have a more consistent starting XI that they can manage the minutes of easier. 

Kevin De Bruyne (£10.6m) was the first name in my team. From a pure FPL point of view he’s finally shown us what he can do while being fully fit for the season. He looks on course to smash his previous record season tally of 209 points and if anyone outside of Edersen (£6.0m) has a chance of starting twice, it’s De Bruyne. He’s top for minutes played by an outfield Manchester City player in 2019/20.

Aston Villa are not a team I’m looking to load up on players from. They’re very generous when it comes to conceding goals and I can’t get excited by many of their attackers. Jack Grealish (£6.4m) has to be in though. He’s had a good season with seven goals and seven assists and I’d expect him to continue as the main points scorer in the team. No midfielder at his price or under has scored more points, and he represents good value going into this week.

I see some concerns from people about having Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.m) in their teams, but he’s been so consistent again this season whether playing as a centre-forward, or in a wider position. I can’t look past him when he has two games, even if one of them is against Manchester City.

The bench is Emiliano Martínez (£4.2m), Matt Targett (£4.4m), Jamaal Lascelles (£4.3m), and Ondrej Duda (£4.7m). I’m hopeful that I won’t have to rely on it this week.

John Lundstram (£4.9m) is currently missing from the team mostly due to fears of him having not won his place back completely from Sander Berge (£4.8m). The two goals he scored during a behind closed doors game has piqued my interest again though. I’m really hoping for early teams news that will let me swap him for John Egan (£4.6m). Lundstram has five double-figure hauls already this season. That’s four more than all of the other Sheffield United defenders combined. One start and a bench appearance in the other game could be enough to see him outscore the other options, and I, for one, am sick of being punished by ‘The Lord’.

With 10 clean sheets already this season I see the appeal of triple Sheffield United defence. My slight concern is whether there will be some rustiness to shake off which may lead to a few more goals than normal as players get up to speed. Dean Henderson (£5.3m) is also the goalkeeper who has prevented the highest expected goals at 4.4. You can view that from two ways – he’s a great goalkeeper, or at some point, he may not be able to keep preventing the number of good quality chances that the defenders are allowing. The triple up is an all eggs in one basket approach and I’m currently looking to avoid.

My third Sheffield United slot goes to Oliver McBurnie (£5.7m). I’ll be honest, this is a hard sell and you’d probably be better off without him, especially considering he has just four goals in 1,428 minutes of football. Around Gameweek 22 he started getting regular starts and minutes, although in the seven game period until the end of the season still only managed one goal. But there were some encouraging underlying statistics in that time. 

Elsewhere in the side, Raheem Sterling (£11.7m) gets one of the midfield slots. For the first 29 Gameweeks, I think it’s fair to see he’s flopped considering his hefty price tag. He’s scored fewer points than Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) having played considerably more minutes.

I am encouraged by the fact he has the second-highest expected goal involvement for all players this season. It hasn’t gone right for him in terms of actual points so far but at some point I’d expect it to click. The enforced break, and the potential return of Leroy Sané (£9.3m) could really help him too. This is a player with over 32 and 35 attacking returns in the last couple of seasons. This year he has 13 and if there’s anyone that is going to come back and be the opposite of the rest of the season I’m putting my money on Sterling. 

I’ll quickly touch on the single Gameweek players in the starting XI. As I mentioned for McBurnie and Sheffield United, I don’t think you can go wrong targeting Aston Villa’s defence for conceding goals and that’s why I’m looking at Chelsea players. It’s difficult to know exactly which side Frank Lampard will go with, but Mason Mount (£6.2m) has only failed to start three times in the league this season and with the ability to play centrally and off the left I’m hoping he’ll be given another start, although there is a lot of competition for places in that Chelsea team. 

Raúl Jiménez (£8.1m) is definitely a consideration up front instead of McBurnie but at the moment I’ve gone with Matt Doherty (£6.3m) for my Wolves player. When I look at single Gameweek fixtures in Gameweek 30+ a few stand out, and one of them is Wolves getting to play a poor West Ham side.

Jiménez is incredibly consistent and I don’t for one second think he won’t get some kind of return this week. But in a week when I’m using my final chip and am trying to improve on a poor rank I want to do something different. The Mexican has 19 attacking returns so far, but when you include clean sheets, Doherty isn’t far behind on 16. The Irish wing-back also has four double digital hauls vs Jiménez with three, so it’s not like he’s any less explosive on his day.

That trio of McBurnie, Mount and Doherty is about the only part of this team that’s now fully locked in. That could be any combo of Sheffield United, Chelsea or Wolves player, and I’d even be tempted by an Arsenal defender instead of Leno to go for something even more different.

But for now I’m trying not to overthink. I know the fixtures I want to target, and  I have a good core of Double Gameweek players I’m very happy with, alongside some calculated differntials.

We’re about to go into the unknown. We’ve heard the phrase “a new normal” a lot over the last few weeks and it’s going to apply to football as well. I’ve gone with what I know when picking this squad but the new normal could mean things are completely different, I just hope I’ve got at least some of it right.

      A

  2. Jolly Good
    • 8 Years

    Does Fleck injury make Lundstram more likely a starter?

    Are we likely to get team news before deadline?

    1. Pulisic 4 President
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Definitely, Maybe.

      1. Jolly Good
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Sweet... have Lundstram..and prepared a 2nd BB team in case it’s leaked he dosent start.

        Honestly given the fixtures he may not be a bad captaincy shout.

        1. Pulisic 4 President
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Are we 100% that Fleck is injured?

          Either way, I like Lundstram. I think he starts at least 1/2 and plays 65' and 30' at a minimum.

    2. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Fleck injury?

      1. Jolly Good
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Rumours

    3. fattfattygavgav
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      You would think it increases his chances but not sure how reliable Fleck injury news is.

  3. Rinseboy

    Thoughrs on this FH draft with no TAA?

    Hendo
    Baldock Lunds Doherty

  4. WD27
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Someone talk me out of Laca on a free hit? Pepe?

    or just Auba?

    1. Jolly Good
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Pépé over Laca for me. Slightly more likely for minutes and points.

      1. WD27
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        You rate Pepe as a pick? Not sure if he's had many minutes in friendlys from what I gathered?

        1. Jolly Good
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Was on decent form before lockdown

  5. Gubbins94.

    Alright lads - quick RMT?

    Leno Henderson
    TAA Lascelles Stevens Egan Targett
    Grealish Mcginn KDB (C) Sterling Cantwell
    Auba Aguero Nketiah

    If we get early team news tomorrow, I'm tempted to do Henderson and Targett to Reina and Lundstrum. Planning to BB this, and WC next week.

    Thoughts?

    1. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years

      McGinn.

  7. Whiskerz
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Which option for BB team

    1. Ederson, Basham, Egan, Traore?
    Or
    2. Henderson, Laporte, Lascelles, Norwood?

    1. BENOIT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      1, can see Laporte startttingg1 match

  8. teenagemutantheroskrtels
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    What do we think

  9. GreennRed
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Will team news be updated here by tomorrow's deadline?

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      It's always wrong anyway

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Not all of it. Looking more for injury doubts or players out for whatever reason. Not gonna punt on likes of Saka or Lundstram M without solid info.

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          No one knows about Saka, should know about Lundy 15 mins before deadline

          1. GreennRed
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Prob be asleep then! . Working now. Gonna get the split screen out in the morning and pick a team from a few screens hits I saved. Anyways cheers Sadio, best of luck.

            1. SADIO SANÉ
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Ah that's annoying! Nice and good luck! Cheers

  10. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    This article kinda baffles me. You're FHing - why even bother with a bench? Maybe grab Guendouzi as a cheap playing enabler in case one of your players misses out. Why waste value in Duda, Martinez, Lascelles and Targett? That's over 1 mil that can be used to upgrade elsewhere.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Are you questioning the pro pundits?!

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        A little bit, yeah. I'd like to know the reasoning behind the decision. Surely Ozil is a better one-week punt than Mount?

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I was joking. Would take these opinion based articles from the self-proclaimed pundits with a big pinch of salt

          1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah. Given dude is sat in the 300K ranks, I'm not really sure how much credibility he has to begin with, tbf...

    2. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Because at this stage we don't know which players are even likely to play, so having playing players on teh bench (cheap ones) you cover off any no shows or injuries.

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        So how is Duda better than Guendouzi, for example? I get wanting some cover, but that's half a mil right there.

        1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Further, Martin over Martinez saves 0.3. No way Leno doesn't play at least one match.

          1. Lord.
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            There is a virus doing the rounds. If it hits, both games will be affected.

            1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Right. Which means that if Leno doesn't play, neither does Martinez and you've still got 0 points in goal and 0.3 mil in value wasted.

    3. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Agree 100%

    4. Rover
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Agreed, go Guendouzi and get 1.7m to upgrade McBurnie.
      Or go Nketiah, and get 2.5m to upgrade Duda.

  11. N00B
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    I think this will be my final draft. Thoughts?

    30 BB, 31 FH, 33 WC

    Leno Reina
    TAA Doherty Stevens Lundstram Egan
    Sterling KDB Mahrez Grealish RLC
    Auba Jimenez Nketiah

    1. Kuyt Hero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'd be a bit worried about 3 City for GW32. If Nketiah isn't starting that might be a bit of a problem too.

    2. Astronautovic

    How can I tell if I’ve already played my second wildcard?! I can’t remember!

    The chip says “unavailable”, rather than “played. I don’t know if it says that for everyone or just those who have Not played it yet (and those that have played it will say “played”)

    1. reo19uk
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      check how many you have played so far and when you played them by clicking GW history and scroll down and it says what chips you have used

  15. Going To Win This Year
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    People without WC but with BB and FH.

    What's the strategy? BB this week, with a mixture of dgw and longer term players?

  16. reo19uk
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Is anyone considering doing the unlimited transfers and not using the bench boost as the BB is only actually getting me 3 SGW players off the bench and this would be the same in any GW I chose to use it?

    Instead I am wondering about still using unlimited transfers and ram my main 11 which would be much stronger than if I use my bench boost as can put cheap rubbish on the bench.

    After this I would still wild card next week to get my team to where I want it but would have the FH and BB chips still available.

    1. Jolly Good
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      My 3 SGW players are TAA, Bruno and DCL... who I’m keeping for TV .. so BB for sure

    2. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      But you'll have lost loads of TV for 1GW

      FH now.

    3. reo19uk
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I almost wonder if GW 33 is the better week to bench boost such good fixtures for so many clubs!

    4. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      You’d gain a second GK, but I see your point
      BB might be wasted when fixtures are closer together. In this GW we “should” at least know the main starters

      1. reo19uk
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        my thoughts exactly and my 2nd keeper would be Reina I expect! I'm going to have to work out what team I can manage for this week without using bench boost and what I can do for GW33 with so many option to choose from for that week hopefully that will help me decide

  17. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    LAST ONE SO PLZZZ HELP

    For this week only:

    A) Ederson, TAA, Sarr

    B) Henderson, Doherty, Mahrez

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      B.

    2. Hits from the Bong

      b

    3. Squib
      • 6 Years

      A for me

  18. Fit_to_drop
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Bottomed

    Would Norwood be a natural replacement for Fleck if the latter is ruled out? Norwood is on set pieces but hasn’t been a prolific point getter.

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Fleck more attacking, Norwood centre mid.

      1. Fit_to_drop
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        But won’t set pieces form a big part of their game plan for two away fixtures? Im looking at him as I don’t want to go all in on SHU defenders. But still want 3 SHU.

        1. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Don't buy a player because of setpieces I reckon.

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      None of the SHU attack are prolific.

  19. sthelenslad92
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Is it crazy to go no liverpool?

    1. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not really if you have a WC available

    2. fattfattygavgav
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Only one I'm considering is Trent

  20. Hits from the Bong
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    How's this for a BB team? I've lots of value in Mane and Salah, should I hold onto one instead? Cheers

    Henderson Leno
    TAA Doherty Egan Lundstram Targett
    Sterling KDB Grealish Saka Douglas Luiz
    Aguero Aubameyang DCL

    1. Jolly Good
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I think choose 3-4 players who you want to keep for value and get DHW players for the rest.

      How much value could you have in Salah for eg. Just 0.2.

      1. Hits from the Bong
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks. I'd lose 0.3 each on Mane and Salah, and 0.4 on DCL. Only 0.2 on TAA, so maybe im doing it wrong. Douglas Luiz is my only other concern really

  21. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané

        If there’s a week to do it, this is the one I reckon.

        It’s going to be chaos, I can’t wait!

            Great team mate.

            You may as well save that bench boost for a final season push on the last week as your bench is nothing special?

              Good game for cantwell

      Can say the same about Nketiah and Brighton

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yea but arsenal are trash, city/Jesus aren’t IMO.

      2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        He’s also a good rashford placeholder for me.

      3. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        And actually you can’t because arsenal have laca, martinelli and nkeitah.

        City have Kun and Jesus.

        1. Rover
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          And Auba can play up top with Saka on the wing

  22. Phil's Stamps
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Done. I've tried 3 dozen combinations and can't seem to improve on this BB - WC squad.

    Lund to Baldock and/or Reina to Krul/McCarthy, McGinn to El Ghazi if team news conflicts.

    Leno Reina
    TAA Basham Lundstram Egan Doherty
    Grealish McGinn KDB Mahrez Mount
    Kun Auba Jiminez

    0.3 ITB.

    1. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Lund and Reina are the chinks in the armour

      1. Phil's Stamps
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah, if no leaked team news confirming they are starting Lund becomes Baldock and Reina goes back to McCarthy.

  23. Sike
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on this BB team?

    Leno McCarthy
    Trent Doherty Justin Lascelles Lundstram
    Tony Bruno (K)DB Grealish D.Luiz
    Kun Vardy Jimenez

    Thanks!

    1. fattfattygavgav
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Looks decent. Not sure about McCarthy though, maybe punt on Reina?

  24. fattfattygavgav
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Evening All!
    Free Hit team GTG?

    Henderson
    TAA, Egan, Stevens
    KDB(c), Sterling, Grealish, Mount
    Aguero, Auba, Jiminez

    Suggestions much appreciated.

    Thanks and good luck!

    1. Sike
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Looks insane if you want to take a massive but potentially rewarding risk go for Lund?

      Could you check mine out just above.?

      1. fattfattygavgav
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks, might punt on Lundy but waiting on news tomorrow. If Fleck is injured, might increase Lundy's chances of mins

    Here's my BB team, is it just plain stupid or could it work out? I have triple City, Aston Villa and Sheffield Utd.

    Kepa - Henderson
    Stevens - Lundstram - Doherty - Soyuncu - Lascelles
    Sterling(C) - KDB - Grealish - McGinn - El Ghazi
    Aguero - Jimenez - Abraham

    1. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Triple villa - in the same positions - looks mad to me anyway

  26. Lebowski85
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    For the season...

    A) Pope Traore Aguero
    B) Henderson Richarlison Rashford

    For those who still have Wildcard, Bench Boost and Free Hit, why bench boost this GW? Answers on a postcard please

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      only dgw

      1. scottmac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I know but so what? The maximum amount of DGW players you can pick is 12 so aside from the goalie it's like any oher bench boost and I peronally don' really like the other fistures

    2. Pulisic 4 President
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Because one of your players will have a DGW, and there are some juicy fixtures. Ex: Leno, Doherty & Pukki are on my bench this week with all the other DGW players starting.

      1. scottmac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Max 12 DGW players

        1. Pulisic 4 President
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Yes? And 11 of those are starters? So you get 1 extra DGW player, plus the bench.

          1. scottmac
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Exactly my point, you are only getting one extra DGW player as opposed to the more traditional BB where there would be more fixtures and the chance to pick 15 DGW

            1. Pulisic 4 President
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              There are no other DGWs for the rest of the season..

              1. scottmac
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 9 months ago

                I know that and with all due respect you are not taking on board my point

                1. Pulisic 4 President
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 9 Years
                  3 years, 9 months ago

                  Whats not to like about Wolves, Norwich, Chelsea, ManU opponents?

                  1. scottmac
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 8 Years
                    3 years, 9 months ago

                    Ordinarily yeah, but who knows at this stage. I think there will be better BB opportunuties oce we have more information. DGW is a total red herriing

    Would also like to warn everyone picking Mount, as a Chelsea fan, that I'm unsure if he would start. RLC is fit and Barkley was in good form pre-pandemic

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      He's Frank's golden boy, and with Jorginho suspended surely he starts?

    2. fattfattygavgav

      Which attacker would you go for?

  30. Homer21
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Trying to decide between

    A) sterling and nketiah; or
    B) fleck and auba

    Already have KDB, Kun & Pepe

    1. STHH
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I have gone with the second option, but I'm keeping a close eye on whether or not Fleck is injured (as the rumours suggest).

      1. Pulisic 4 President
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I would say A either way.

        Can switch Fleck to Norwood easily tho.
