The player and team stats that could shape your Free Hit squad for Gameweek 38+

Holly from Fantasy Football Community looks at some of the key numbers from our Members Area over the last four Gameweeks.


The final Gameweek of the season is here and I’m taking a look at the underlying statistics from the last four Gameweeks, in a bid to sort out those transfer and Free Hit dilemmas going into Gameweek 38.

Note that some players will have seen more minutes than others over this period.

    Would you do Mahrez and Bruno to Sterling and Dilva for a hit? I have KDB also.

    1. JelliedSpark968
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      yes

    2. umerlfc
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes if Bruno ti Sterling directly can not happen

    3. Silent Hunter
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Of course

  2. Wheato182
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Treble Burnley at the back insane in the membrane?

    Allows

    Pope
    TAA - Bardsley - Peiters
    Salah - Bruno - DSilva - De Bruyne
    Greenwood - Auby - Kane

    Alternatively could go for another 4.6 defender instead of Bardsley/Peiters.....

    1. Aubamewho
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I like it.
      Or
      Maybe Branthwaite (BOU)

      1. Wheato182
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks for the reply - can see goals for both sides in the Bournemouth Everton game tbh so gonna stay away.

        1. Aubamewho
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Good point

    2. toerag

      im thinking similar

  3. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Which is the best ?
    A - Martin & Lascelles >
    McCarthy & Walker
    B- Martin & Lascelles
    Pope & Pieters or 5 M defender

    1. JelliedSpark968

  4. JelliedSpark968

    3 years, 8 months ago

    What are the reasons for selling Fernandes? Is it purely financial (i.e. you want someone in similar price range or need more money for Sterling, Mahrez, Kane etc.) ?

    1. Wheato182
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Can't see why you'd wanna sell him tbh.

    2. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      City players will likely outscore him, he looks knackered.

      1. Sterling Archer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        get a bit of a longer rest, think he'll be fine

  5. umerlfc
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Which 2?

    A) KDB
    B) Mahrez
    C) Dilva

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      AB.

    2. Wheato182
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A and C

    3. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years

      A C

    4. Silent Hunter
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      AC

  6. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    Any sources to leak lineups on GW38? I see Rockstar isnt doing it 🙁

        that twitter?

  7. Aubamewho
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    What's the best way to fit in sterling?
    Chasing lead 3 points difference. 1.1 itb, 1 Ft and bench boost available.

    Pope
    VVD Pieters Garcia
    KDB Salah Bruno Martial
    Auba Vardy Greenwood
    (Button, Egan, JackRob, Hayden)

  8. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Who gets more points this GW:

    A. Foden.
    B. Nketiah

    1. Tomerick
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Flip a coin. Foden reeks of a 1 pointer his week though.

    2. fuzzymike
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I got similar issue with Foden & Saka.

  9. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I'm in 2 minds what to do in my current situation, going into GW37 I was 41 points behind ML leader but thanks to Stering, Doherty, Greenwood & Anotonio I'm now only 5 points behind. He has already used his FH and my FH team was all set up to take risks with differentials, however its probably best I play a little safer now.

    Which of his players to you I think I should block: (we'll both be captaining Sterling I pretty sure of that)

    A. TAA
    B. KDB
    C. Fernandes
    D. Martial
    E. Pulisic
    F. Ings

    I need to take some risks by not covering some of the players to make up the points and win the ML

    1. Wheato182
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Pretty much all of them could get something, I'd prob prioritise A, B and C though.

  10. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Keep Rashford or Vardy to be replaced by Ings?

    I have Martial and Fernandes as well. Currently leaning Rashford.

    1. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Quite like Vardy for the final fixture actually.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      That's Rashford out btw.

    3. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Man Utd have looked horrible last few games. Keep Vardy

    4. Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I’d remove Rashford. To me he’s looking jaded along with Bruno. Also I don’t like his recent numbers, popping off a lot of shots from distance compared to Vardy

  11. reo19uk
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Going into the last GW I am 8 points ahead of my rival in my ML so very close 1!

    My team:
    Pope
    Tarowski, VVD, Azpi
    Fernandes, Martial, KDB, Sterling, Antonio
    Ings, Greenwood

    Dubravka, Jota, Saiss, Taylor

    His team(predicted):
    Patrício
    TAA, Egan, Saiss,
    Salah, Fernandes, Martial, Antonio
    DCL, Rashford, Jiménez

    Martin, Taylor, Femenia, Foden

    Should I do KDB to Salah to cover a possible haul from him?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No from me.

      Fernandes > David Silva is what I'd do.

      1. reo19uk
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        surely I have to cover him not go for another differential!

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          No. It's too close for cover. You want to pick the best option for the week.

          Getting rid of KdB against Norwich is really bad.

          Like imagine if Salah scores 7. KdB hauls 14 and TAA gets 15. You just lost the tie. If it's this close, you're better served picking the best option available.

          Triple City is the way to go.

  12. Vovhund
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    Good to go with this FH?:

    Martinez
    Digne-Bertrand-Tarkowski
    Salah-Sterling-KDB-Dilva
    Kane-Ings-Greenwood

    ??

    Please help with my team, unsure what route to take:

    Henderson, Dubravka
    TAA, Tarkowski, Boly, Taylor, Williams
    Salah, KdB, Bruno, Sarr, Foden
    Jesus, Jimenez, Greenwood

    0.8ITB, 1FT

    A) Jesus + Bruno > Kane + Mahrez/Dilva
    B) Jesus + Boly > Kane + Garcia
    C) Foden + Sarr > Dilva + Saka

  16. umerlfc

    Best captaincy option in your opinion?

    A) Salah
    B) Sterling
    C) KDB
    D) Dilva
    E) Kane

    1. JelliedSpark968
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B,D,E,C,A but it's all very close

    2. InvertedWinger
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      BAEDC in that order imo

  17. InvertedWinger

    FH Draft NoTony:

    Pope
    TAA Aurier Pieters (Lamptey, Brandon Williams)
    Salah Sterling KDB Dilva (Guendouzi)
    Kane Ings Greenwood

    What do we think?

    1. JelliedSpark968
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      very nice team

    2. drughi
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      greenwood seems light on a FH

      1. InvertedWinger
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He's pretty good value, away ppg strong compared to more expensive options and while Martial is definitely better, he also costs nearly 3.5m more. I do see your point though and i really wanted Martial but this allows me all the big hitters I wanted.

    3. umerlfc

    Help! 10 points clear in ML with this team -

    Any thoughts? Not sure on taking a hit due to 10 point lead?

    Word of warning on Pieters who seems to be in a lot of free hit teams.

    If Taylor is back and Gudmunsson plays, there is no room for him and he may not start.

    1. Ruinenlust
      • 6 Years

      What about Long and Bardsley?

  27. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    A) Martial and Jesus

    or

    B) KDB and Ings

    ?

  28. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Currently own Sterling KDB Foden.

    Thoughts on 2 FT:

    A) Bruno and Foden out Dilva and Antonio in

    B) KDB and Jimmy out Dilva and Kane in

    Basicaly is Kane vs KDB

    1. Tomerick
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I’m in the same boat. Losing KDB just feels wrong. Leaning towards A for myself

  29. King Henrik
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    which is better for the final day?

    1. Kane and Dilva (Kane triple captain)
    or
    2. Salah and Jimenez (Salah triple captain)
