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.


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.

    Free Hit Team

    Martinez,
    Trent, Branthwaite, Pieters
    Salah, KDB, D Silva, Fernandes
    Kane (C), Auba (VC), Greenwood

    Stek, Lamptey, B Williams, Guendouzi

    0.0ITB

    Tempted to go:
    Auba & Guendouzi to Ings and Pulisic, with then first sub as Greenwood..

    Stick or twist...

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

      I’d make the transfer. Antonio an option too

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

      Think I would stick. Even though Pulisic looked great yesterday, he has a difficult game. Auba could go off

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

      Auba + Fernandes > Sterling + Ings.

      You can use the money to upgrade Branthwaite to Tarkowski or Bardsley if you like Burnley defense (like most people do)

      1. AJ24
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Want to keep Fernandes because ML rival, however another option is to remove Trent..

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

          You can do that too but I think Sterling is priority personally. Would not go without.

      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      next q then

      A Pulisic fighting for CL against wolves fighting for europe?

      or

      B Antonio fighting for nothing against villa fighting for life?

      not sure, but you seem to have the same quandry

      1. AJ24
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I'd favour Pulisic after watching how sharp he was last night!

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

          i do too but im having my head turned... no. Pul it is!!

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

      Stick

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

    Yes or no:

    Antonio, Holgate > Dilva, Williams (-4)

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

      I'd probably stick with what you have

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

        probably this

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

      Just Holgate to Branthwaite and you ok

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

      YESSSS

      I've took a hit to get Silva in this week too

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

    Not seeing many teams with Mahrez? Do we reckon he starts this one, only 40 minutes of game time in the last 2 games...

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm buying him I think

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

      If we get a leak expect his ownership to rise significantly

    3. AJ24
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      When loading up on City assets, you'd pick Sterling, Jesus, KDB, D Silva all ahead of him, in my opinion

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

        KDB is the biggest unknown, he's surely due a rest but him playing or not massively disrupts the rest of my free hit.

        (Hi Ed if you're reading this).

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

          He wants that assist record and I think he'll get 60mins at least.

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

      No idea. I have a weird feeling he won't start though. I think it might be a rehash of Sterling, Jesus, Foden up front supported by KdB, Dilva and Rodri/Gundogan.

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

      prob start but who knows pep roulette

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

      But usually first to be subbed

    7. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If in starting lineup its him for Foden.

  4. Zenith UK
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    At work... Got distracted, sorry; Time to talk money...

    ML1 - 1st: £300, 2nd: £150, 3rd: £80

    1st - 2208 (has TC) with:
    Pope* (Button)
    Trent, AWB, Fernandez* (Taylor, Saiss)
    Salah*, KDB, Bruno, Foden, Willian*
    Vardy*, Ings, (Jimi)

    2nd (me) - 2178 with:
    McCarthy (Patricio)
    Trent, Cresswell, AWB (Doherty, Egan)
    Mane, KDB, Bruno, Foden, Antonio
    Ings, Greenwood (Jimi)

    3rd - 2160 (has TC) with:
    Henderson* (McCarthy)
    Robbo*, Doherty, Aurier*, Baldock* (Otamendi*)
    KDB, Dilva*, Martial*, Traore, (Mount)
    Auba*, Jimi (Ayew*)

    I'm dead right?
    2FTs and 0.2 ITB.
    A) AWB, Doherty & Jimi > Pieters, Bardsley & Kane(c) (-4)
    B) Doherty, Mane & Jimi > Masuaku, Sterling, Kane(c) (-4)

    Any other thoughts/suggestions welcomed.

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

      B Sterling as (C)

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

      I would do Cresswell to pieters to afford Bruno to Son. As both will TC Salah, Mane is good differential and Son will be your wildcard

  5. dshv
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    FH G2G

    Pope
    Aurier taa pieters
    Salah kdb sterling dilva antonio

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

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

        I have to do so many changes to bring auba for 6 points max

  6. linkafu
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Sterling or KDB captain?

    1. Danstoke82

      Sterling

  7. screamer73

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

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

      Of course. That could be wiped out just on captains.

    2. toerag
      • 13 Years

      yes

    3. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

      not really. There are other potential big scores this week.

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

      Not necessarily - 3 City plus the captaincy could be too many eggs in one basket if City only win 2-0

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

        yeah im going down to dilva and sterling(c)

      2. Amey

        Anything less than 5-0, I'd be very surprised mate

    5. Mork calling Orson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I was on Antonio, but now WHam have nothing to play for & Chelsea do, I’m wavering - also considering Richarlison as Bournemouth have to come out to attack, & Rich could exploit that.

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

        good insight on Richarlison but to expensive, just hope frank dont bench the yank but surely not in a must try and win game.

      Not sure I like either! Can you do Foden and anyone else if you want Dilva?

        Nope. I'd have to downgrade 1.9M and the only other options would be Kane, Sterling, Auba, Bruno, Digne who are all starting.
