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 Iā€™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.


Holly, the founder of FPL Community, has two top 10k finishes in five FPL seasons, is a regular guest on the FPL Show and recent addition to the Scoutcast line-up.

    Last Man Standing Final Standings

    https://prnt.sc/tn8xgp

    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/2988991/history

    Eduardo Cruz - https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/profiles/eduardo-cruz/ became the 7th winner of Last Man Standing after playing his bench boost. The chip gained him the final winning margin of 29 (Martínez 2, Greenwood 9, Pieters 12, K.Long 6). He could have tied and still won on overall rank.

    Congratulations to the other 3 finalists, SweetBoi, Old School and Blasting Wand for great runs in the competition.

    Eduardo wins FFS membership for a season which Geoff/FFS offered as a prize. He beat 5107 others and sits at 8,289th overall.

    A special thanks goes to Ragabolly for his help during the season removing teams and providing a live LMS leaderboard - https://www.livefpl.net/LMS so everyone could see the top 20 and the elimination zone.

    Thank you to all who entered and participated in LMS this season.

    Hope to see you for the 8th installment next season, all things being equal.

    Bottomed:

    Any love for Richarlison? Bou going on an all-out attack could concede a bunch on the counter.

    Richarlison over Martial over too risky?

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

      I'd still go with Martial...........only just

    2. Abra Dubravka
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah, tooooo risky

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Avoid Everton

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        WHAT?!

    4. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      At present I have Rich and Martial. Bou gotta go for it. We know there are likely to be more goals in week 38 so a player in a different game is another raffle ticket.

    Doherty, TAA, Azpi
    Salah,Sterling,Martial,Fernandes
    Rashford,Ings,Nketiah

    Patricio,Saka,Taylor,Lascelles. 1 FT 0.0m itb

    A) TAA,Saka >> Pieters,Dilva -4 play 3-5-2
    B) Fernandes,Rashford >> Dilva,Jesus -4.( Would have to play one of Saka or Niketiah )
    C) Taylor,Fernandes >> Mendy,Dilva -4. Would give me an extra bench player who would be fit..

  17. FPL Theorist
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Any Wolves fans think your team could do really well against Kepa and that Chelsea defence? If so, which players would you want?

    1. Greek Freak
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      You don't really have to be a Wolves fan to think they'll do well against Chelsea šŸ˜‰

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

        This. Also the players who will likely do well are the players that always do well: Jimi, Traore, Doherty. Maybe even Podence.

        1. FPL Theorist
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Cheers mate!

          In theory Traore sounds perfect, but then I looked at his returns and his last 6 are 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 2. Any idea why he's not getting the points?

      2. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        True, I just thought they would have more insight, and I know we have some here.

        Which ones do you think will do the best? Ideally I'm looking for a 6.8 or less mid/fwd as a sort of enabler on FH. Keeping Doherty is also an option.

        1. Greek Freak
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          The usual suspects as said above could do well. Jimenez always seems to do well vs. the top sides - 2 of his 3 double-digit scores have been vs. City.

  18. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    A) Fernandes and VVD
    or
    B) Martial and Robertson

    Is Greenwood sufficient United cover for GW38 on FH?

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

      Yes. No Bruno is a risk but he's looking not so good lately.

  21. Teror
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I'm 40 points ahead in my minileague and 31 points off the top 100k. My chasing rival will surely captain Sterling. I will triple captain him. Is it safe to take a -8 to get Salah & Kane in the hope of breaking into the top 100k?

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes, I don't think you can lose that lead if you're TC'ing the same player that your rival captains.

    Manage to sour what turned out to be a good GW with awful decision making. Did Giroud > Rashford (c) who was my lowest scoring player and only one of two who blanked. I've also now only got 1ft and have blocked myself from getting Kane/Auba/Salah/Son/Vardy basically anyone desirable without taking a hit. Contemplating Azpi > Aurier as my final transfer. Exciting stuff.

      Ha. I'm in a similar situation. I capt Rashford, but still managed to put up 72 pts. That transfer is lack luster. What does the rest of your team look like?

        Pope (McCarthy)
        TAA, Azpi, Digne, (Boly, Fernandez)
        Sterling(c), KDB, Bruno, D.Silva, Pulisic
        Ings, Greenwood, (Rashford)

        0.4 itb. Would like to get sell one of the United boys ideally. Maybe Bruno > Antonio or Rash > Deeney if I'm feeling particularly punty. Not massively into either of those moves if i'm being honest

          I agree. How about Pulisic to Antonio? WOL have only conceded four goals since GW31.

      I had a great week 91 (-4) but also made 2 horrendous transfers on tilt from a bad result in the last 2 gameweeks

      Foden (8) & Pulisic (9) -> Silva (0) & McNeil (3)

      Got to cut that kind of move out next year

    Have I nailed my FH team?

    Martinez
    TAA - Pieters - Long
    Salah - KdB - Sterling - Dilva - Son
    Greenwood - Kane

    Is Son and Kane too much? Also KdB over Mahrez?

    Working on my FH team...

    Martinez + TAA or Pope + Robertson?

    Pulisic + Ings or Richarlison + Wood?

    Apart from those I have Pieters, Brantwaithe, DSilva, Mahrez, Sterling, Salah and Kane more or less locked in.
