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.

    Tough Call... i think probably my last decision. But ive said that several times today >.<

    A. Greenwood + DIgne (or Tark and a playing bench)

    vs

    B. Wood + Long

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. cheekumz

      Long Wood at least has some comedy value... maybe that'll cheer me up if it ends up the wrong choice.

    Cheeky fiver on Newcastle, Norwich, Palace and Watford to win for some final-day shithousery?

      Just buy a few beers with the £5 and enjoy it that way instead. Saves you losing your money

    FH team draft, thoughts?

    Pope (3,9)
    Pieters-Tarkowski-Branthwaite-(3.8-3,9)
    Son-Sterling-Dilva-Fernandes-(4,1)
    Kane-Auba-Jesus

    Captain?

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

      Bruno is knackered.

      1. Winston.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He could make a comeback

      2. BATISTUTA ®
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Mainly for the set pieces/pens ... he will be involved imo.

  6. jth
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Bruno, Doherty to Sterling, Tark (-4)?

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

      not worth it unless u captain sterling

  7. RAFA THE GAFFA

    Chances of Kev dropping?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      High

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA

        Good 0.1 short of that team I showed you this morning matey 🙂

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

          give it a day then - but Kane is moving fast

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Got Kane in.

  8. grennans2
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Which team is strongest? On FH

    A)

    Martinez
    Aurier Long Robbo
    Silva Sterling Mahrez Martial Salah
    Kane Ings

    B)

    Martinez
    Aurier Long Pieters
    Silva Sterling Mahrez Salah
    Kane Auba Ings

    C)

    Martinez
    Bardsley Long Pieters
    Silva Sterling Mahrez Martial Salah
    Kane Auba

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

      B

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

    My FH coming down to this decision, which one?

    A) McCarthy + Robbo + Mahrez
    B) Pope + Stephens + KDB

    I already have Pieters so B would meam double Burnley defense

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      With the usual Pep roulette disclaimer, B because KdB could go massive even if he hasn't recently

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

        Thanks! Leaning towards B then

    2. Planet_Marss
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      can u go a and play riena instead of mccarthy and finding money somewhere else to go trent instead of robbo?

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

    What are the chances of a Wolves clean sheet?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      low

    2. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      That game will be low scoring, both teams wont want to lose, same as the Utd v Lei match

    3. The Senate
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      more chance than a chelsea clean sheet

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

      Pulisic was amazing yesterday

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

        True

    5. Planet_Marss
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      no chance.. will be a cheeky high scoring game. chelseas inability to defend will force them to come up with a win some way else. i reckon theyll go out very attacking which will leave space for jimi and whoever else to benefit. high scoring imo.

  11. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Which combo?

    A) KDB & Antonio

    or

    B) Mahrez & Martial

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

      B. If Mahrez starts he’s a better option than KdB imo

    2. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

    3. Planet_Marss
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      a

  12. liiusions
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Finally starting to come around to my FH team, some thoughts would be apprecaited...

    Martinez
    TAA Aurier Pieters
    Sterling(c) Mahrez Dilva Salah Martial
    Kane Ings
    (4.0 Greenwood 3.9 3.8)
    0.3 ITB

    KdB over Mahrez/Dilva means downgrading one of Salah, Martial, TAA or Kane which I do not think I am prepared to do.

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

      Martial>Antonio and Mahrez>KDB possible ?

    2. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I was thinking of downgrading TAA in my very similar FH but last night reminded me of why I have him!

  13. Rhodes your boat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Bruno Doherty to sterling gomez -4 yay or nay?

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

      Nope

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

      Aurier or Tierney over Gomez imo. Terrible pick - doesn’t even go up for corners

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

    Can I ask Again

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

      Already on BB and want to Change 2 players from my team so which is the best ?
      A - Martin & Lascelles >
      Ederson + Branthwaite

      B- Martin & Lascelles >
      Pope + Pieters

      Pieters + Kane

    1) Pope, Digne, Martial & Antonio

  16. Walcoff life

    Who scores more?
    A) Pulisic
    B) Bruno

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      b

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

      Equal but ppl sell Burno cuz he looks tired

    3. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Tough one. Pulisic looked great last night but Wolves are decent defensively of course. B at a push.

    4. toerag
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      a is on fire atm imo

  17. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Would appreciate some feedback if possible please.

    I'm chasing in my ML and managed to cut my deficit from 50 to 16 points this week.

    I'm going FH, and he's going to go TC.

    My FH means we'll have very different teams and I'm just wondering who to captain?

    My gut says Sterling. Rival does not have Sterling or Kane but has 1FT and 2.8ITB so could bring either in for KdB or Jimenez theoretically.

    Jimi to Kane or Auba (who he's had before) is the likeliest move he'll make IMO, so am I right to stick to my guns and go with Sterling?

    Just hope he doesn't bring him in and TC him!

    Thanks

    1. toerag
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      id cap sterling i think

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks. I wouldn't usually second-guess someone that much but ML is my main concern on the final weekend. Stick to my guns and hopefully the rest of my differentials (hoping we'll only have two or max three of the same players) will pay off.

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

      If he has that sort of money in the bank you can't discount him bringing Sterling in. Captain Sterling and roll the dice with the others

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

      Surely have to go Sterling and hope the rest of your team outscores his.

    4. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks, Istanbul 05 and Foo Fighter. As I mentioned to Toerag, I wouldn't usually second-guess someone that much but ML is my main concern on the final weekend.

      Stick to my guns and hopefully the rest of my differentials (hoping we'll only have two or max three of the same players) will pay off.

      It was having Sterling, TAA and Foden as points of difference to him which allowed me to eat into his lead this week. May a similar pattern follow in 38!

      Cheers!

      1. toerag

    Who scores more assuming Mendy starts?

    A) Mendy (NOR)
    B) Digne (BOU)

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

      A

    2. toerag
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      think id go A

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

      A

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

      Mendy will get max 6 points. Digne probably 2 pointer. BOU are going to fight.

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Any defenders sub 5.9 with a high point ceiling you can suggest? Not TAA or Aurier

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

          none really.. just mendy and burnley boys after that for budget. there is tierny if u fancy a sneak dif in the end... but i expect watford to fight even with no manager lol

  21. Strchld
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Is this FH team good enough? Or would you change something?
    Is Kane and Son too much?

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

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

      son to fernandes and upgrade else where

  22. Captain_Shirokov
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Martinez
    Aurier, Bardsley, Pieters
    Salah, Sterling, Pulisic, Silva
    Kane, Jesus, Ings

    How would you improve this free hit?

    1. toerag
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      looks good, what are you chasing, ML? Overall??

      1. Captain_Shirokov
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Overall rank, opened up a 60 point gap in my ML this week.

        1. toerag
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          looks good

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

      Hard to improve much. Would Pope in goal be affordable? The number of Burnley defensive assets you pick this week is a key variable, you've picked 2, 3 would be really going for it, high risk/ high reward/high cost of failure...

  23. Will J 256
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Pulisic or Antonio? First to three!!

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

      antonio

    2. toerag

    3. Captain_Shirokov

      puli

      Ant

  24. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Who to bench?

    A. Digne (BOU)
    B. Doherty (che)
    C. Aurier (cry)

    Tricky... Everton have nothing to play for, and Bournemouth will do everything to score. I have Patricio as well, so what about Doherty?

  25. raoulduke71
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    GTG?

    POPE
    TRENT TARK AURIER
    SALAH DILVA KDB STERLING BRUNO
    KANE GREENWOOD

    1. toerag
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      yes. bruno iffy but yes

  26. bigdip
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Pick one:
    A) Silva
    B) Mahrez
    (Have KDB and Jesus and cannot afford Sterling)

    1. toerag
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      heart says Dilva

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

      KDB to Sterling

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

      DSilva

  27. Tabasco
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Wish I still had my FH for this one...

    Martinez (Martin)
    Aurier A-Arnold Doherty (Bednarek) (Robinson)
    KDB Salah Mahrez Fernandes Willian
    Jiminez Rashford (Greenwood)

    No idea what to do; I want Sterling, Dilva and Kane somehow but it all invovles a hit that I'm not sure I can afford (3 points off ML).

    A) Willian & Jiminez to Dilva & Ings
    B) Rashford & Willian to Kane & Saka
    C) Rashford & Jiminiez to Jesus & Wood
    D) KDB & Mahrez to Sterling & Foden
    E) KDB & Willian to Sterling & Grealish
    F) 1 transfer - Mahrez to Dilva or Jiminez to Ings, for example

  28. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Fernandes & Jesus > Sterling & Greenwood.

    Good moves?

    1. Planet_Marss

      3 years, 8 months ago

      yyess

  29. bigdip
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Midfield: Salah, KDB, WILLIAN, BRUNO
    A) Bruno OR Willian to Sliva OR Mahrez
    B) Bruno AND Willian to Silva AND Mahrez

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Bruno to Silva I reckon

  30. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Tweaked options from earlier today. On FH:

    A) TAA, Laporte, Antonio, Pulisic,(Greenwood)
    B) Robbo, Laporte, Martial, Pulisic (Nketiah)
    C) TAA, Aurier, Mahrez, Pulisic, (Nketiah)
    D) TAA, Aurier, KDB, (Trézéguet), Greenwood

    Pope
    XXXX, XXXX, Pieters
    Salah, Sterling, Dilva, XXXX, XXXX
    Kane, Ings, XXXX
    (Martin) (, Williams, Simpson)

    Currently on A bit they all have their merits!

    Cheers
