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.

    Any feedback on this team would be much appreciated.

    Pope
    TAA / Saiss / Kiko
    Sterling (C) / KDB / Bruno / Martial / Pulisic
    Jimenez / Ings

    Greenwood / Lascelles* / Holgate*

    I have 2.3 ITB and two free transfers. I was intending on doing Bruno/Martial to D. Silva and Jimenez to Kane/Auba.

    Obviously my lineup in defence is looking rotten this week. Do you think its worth swapping one of my injured defenders for a -4? I would have up to 5.1 to spend. I'm thinking I might just stick.

    Thanks for your advice.

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

      Bruno - Dilva
      Lascelles - Kane

  2. BinManJack
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    which of the below lads?

    a) Kane and Grealish
    b) Jimenez and Bruno

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

      b

  3. Arron Wan Bissaka Nil
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Current team:
    De Gea (Button)
    Doherty, Digne, Tarkowski (Holgate, Lascelles)
    Sterling, KDB, Bruno, Martial (Luiz)
    Jimenez, Ings, DCL

    Options
    1. Ederson for De Gea
    2. Auba/Garcia for Jimenez/Doherty (4pt hit)
    3. Wood for DCL
    4. Foden for Luiz (bench DCL)

    1. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      ITB?

      1. Arron Wan Bissaka Nil
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        1.5m

        1. Lucky Z
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Luiz DCL => D.Silva Connoly -4?

  4. Lucky Z
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Kane and Spurs' motivation for last GW is 6th place, right? Thoughts Kane vs Auba

    1. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd have Kane. Just saw Arteta's comments about respecting the competition and fielding a relatively strong side vs. Watford. Their head's not in it. That being said Auba is a solid pick and I'd have him if money allowed. But I'd choose Kane first

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

      Kane

  5. Prison Mike
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Best move?

    A) Salah -> Sterling (c)

    B) Bruno/Martial -> David Silva (c)

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

      A has the biggest downside and upside, I'd be tempted

    2. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B

  6. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I'd like to express my love for Naby Keita

    Have a great day

  7. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I am really thinking to get Traore.Party vs Alonso.

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

      I was thinking of that too. Just feels weird getting someone whose last 6 scores are 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 2. Why hasn't he been getting in the goals recently?

      1. wulfrunian
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He is not playing to score and his shot needs improvement.Mainly assists Jimenez.

  8. fish&chips

    Pope,
    TAA, VVD, Doherty
    Sterling, Silva, Bruno, Martial
    Jesus, Jimmy, Greenwood

    Martin, McNeil, Taylor, Holgate

    0.6 ITB, 1FT

    A) Jesus & Doherty -> Kane & Walker (-4)
    B) Jesus & McNeil -> Ings & Mahrez
    C) Doherty -> Robbo
    D) something else

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

      A is most exciting

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

    Bottomed

    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

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

        You trust KDB to deliver? He’s underwhelmed a bit more recently

    2. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      All look decent. Just go with your gut

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

        Prob the right answer but my brain is frazzled so was looking for some opinions with fresh eyes!

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

      A or D, tough one!

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

        Very tough right! Those are the main 2 I’m stuck between

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

    A. Lloris & Robbo
    B. Fabianski & TAA (or any other GK upto 5.0)

    Rival has TAA

    I have a feeling my FH might benefit my rival more then me, lol

  11. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    has anyone got the link for where you can check on yours (or rivals) performance over the season? captian picks, bench points etc?

      1. ShaunGoater123

    Who to captain if you have all 3 of these?

    A. Dilva
    B. Sterling
    C. KDB

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

      Sterling all day long

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling.
      He mentioned golden boot. He's going greedy mode.

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

      its gonna be close for you

      A i think

    2. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Mane-> Sterling (c)
      Doherty -> Tarkowski and play over cresswell

      1. fish&chips
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Play Jimmy as well. Chelsea are awful at the back

        1. fish&chips
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Sterling has more motivation than Kane and is playing the weaker team. I think you should go for him over Kane unless you think your rivals will go for him and TC him

          1. potatoace
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Why has sterling more motivation than Kane?

            1. fish&chips
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Golden boot & 2 off 100 goals for city I believe

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

    TC time guys! Who do you think will give the best returns?
    A) Kane
    B) Salah
    C) Dilva
    D) Jesus

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

      😆

      1. bigdip

        lol what's funny

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

          its making my head hurt

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

            A i think. im getting him over jesus

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

      A

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

      Kane, given last game he was back to his best

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

      Any option except D

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

    A Martial or B bruno????? on A atm
    thhoughts??

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

      B

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

      A def

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

      Yeah I think Martial

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

      Yes most probably Martial but Morgan is a rash and slow defender, you can't rule out penalty

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

      Martial, Bruno is tired and needs a break

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

      I'm a Bruno owner but thinking of selling for Martial. ML rival has Bruno and Martial is looking sharp, could do well against that Leicester defence.

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

    A) Greenwood, KDB, TAA
    or
    B) Jesus, Ings, Aurier

    Who scores more? I'm leaning towards B.

  17. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on Antonio this week?

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

      Villa will be playing primarily for a 0-0 until they hear results going against them, so I think they will be very difficult to break down

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

      I'm keen and he's in my FH draft. But tempted to get Dilva instead.

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

      Unsure. Slightly prefer Puli at 0.3-0.4 more. Looked excellent last night

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

    What are the best 3 city assests to get on FH? Still think Jesus will play and do well since he needs form going into the Madrid game, a striker vs Norwich is too good to miss?

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

      Sterling, Dilva, KDB

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

      Sterling and Silva not leaving my team.

      Can't decide between KDB and Jesus

    3. Legohair
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Mahrez

    4. Planet_Marss
      • 4 Years

      sterling dilva mendy

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

    Hi guys. Hope you are OK. Which five do you prefer?
    1:
    Trent
    Aurier
    Pope
    Greenwood
    Salah
    2:
    VVD
    Bardsley
    Martinez
    Ings
    Mane

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

      1

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

      1

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

    Really stuck here.. what's the best move out of these two?

    A. Fernandes & KDB > Stering & Antonio
    B. Jesus & Fernandes > Sterling & Greenwood

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

      I would not sell any Man City players. Neither option tbh

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

        I own KDB, Jesus & Dilva already but i want Sterling so one of them has to go?

  21. Sailboats
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Would you do Mane > Sterling(c) for free?

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

      yes

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

      For free probably

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

      I'd want Sterling but Mane is possibly the best differential for 38 and wouldn't be surprised if he hauls

    4. McSauce
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Captain yes, just sub no

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

    Best two players to go alongside these?

    Salah, Sterling, Dilva, XXX, XXX

    A. Martial
    B. Bruno
    C. Pulisic
    D. KDB
    E. Mahrez
    F. Antonio

    1. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      E + A, B or F. Them three are very close imo, hard to pick.

      Jealous of everyone with a FH tho, I must say.

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

        Do you like this team then with the picks you said?

        Martínez
        TAA, Pieters, Aurier
        Salah, Sterling, Dilva, Martial, Mahrez
        Kane, Ings

        1. Pieterke30
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I absolutely love it. Id go as far as saying it would be my FH38 team.

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

            Cheers matey. No KDB is my only worry I guess

          2. Pieterke30
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Alos like Tarkowski + Antonio instead of Pieters + Martial. Both great combos

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

      Really tough. In a similar position.

      I have Salah, Sterling, KdB, Bruno and Antonio in my FH draft but considering doing Bruno to Martial. Also toying with Antonio to Dilva.

      So a roundabout way to answer your question: probably Martial and KdB!

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

        Yeah, it’s so tough. I can only get KDB and Martial if I downgrade Trent. Worth it?

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

          Same conundrum for me! TAA was great last night but I do have my doubts about him hauling to that extent again. If we get wind of KdB starting, I think go for him.

          And much as I like Antonio, West Ham Villa could be very tight.

  23. LordEllison
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Current FH team what we thinking lads?
    0.0 in the bank

    Pope, Martin
    TAA, Tark, Aurier, Williams, Simpson
    Salah, Sterling, Mahrez, DSilva, Guendouzi
    Greenwood, Kane, Ings,.

    1. JELLYFISH
      • 11 Years

      Decent

  24. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Jesus + Bruno > Wood + Sterling (TC) sound ok?

    Kdb and Foden my other city.

  25. JELLYFISH
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    On FH and currently own Sterling and Foden. Thinking doing Foden > Dilva and keeping Sterling is the obvious move?

    1. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd expect Mahrez to play over Foden. Dilva and Mahrez both great picks

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

      Yes

      1. JELLYFISH
