The triple-ups I am considering for Blank Gameweek 18 Free Hit squad

Blank Gameweek 18 is just around the corner, and I wanted to use this opportunity to present some picks I feel should be part of your squad if you are opting to use the Free Hit.

At the time of writing, there was a lot of uncertainty looming around Spurs so, for the purpose of this piece I steered clear of the two clubs.

After all, the best way to maximise a Free Hit squad is to base as much as you can on things you are certain about.

    Captain:

    A. Kane
    B. Son
    C. KDB
    D. Bruno

    1. RealSocialDads
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Going C personally, but a tough one this week

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A or C

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      KDB - might be false 9 again and Brighton missing a few players including Bissouma

    4. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      KDB for me. Kane (vc)

    5. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm on KDB for now.

    Could really use some help here guys...
    Not freehitting.
    1FT 4.0ITB

    Martinez*(no game)
    Dias Dier Holding Keane
    Son Bruno Saka Salah*(no game)
    Kane DCL*(injured)

    Steer; Burke Brewster Dunne

    So I’ll need to make at least 2-3 transfers. Questions are:
    - Get salah out?
    - Keep Salah, get DCL + Burke/Brewster out?
    - What Man City assets except for KDB are nailed? Mahrez/Foden/Bernardo
    - Is it worth getting Steer out for a cheap playing GK so I make it a full starting 11?

    1. Mr Wolf
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      What about Salah and dcl out for kdb and lacazette?

  3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Maguire+Gundogan or Stones+Saka?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      SAS

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

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

    On FH Which is better
    A- Leno + AWB + Rashford +Saka + (Brewster ) 3-5-2
    B - Darlow + Dier + Gündogan + Laca (Saka) 3-4-3

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

      Or maybe Degea instead of Darlow

    2. RealSocialDads
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

  5. Bruno Commando
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    On a FH and not sure which pair of midfielders I should go with.

    1) Son + Neto
    2) Rashford + Saka

    Leno
    Stones Dias AWB
    Bruno KDB _____ _____
    Kane Wilson Laca

    Subs: Steer Mitchell Smith-Rowe Douglas

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

      Son + Saka

      1. Bruno Commando
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Take out Wilson? Currently on a 3-4-3..

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

          No Keep him and play 3-4-3

          1. Bruno Commando
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Ah I see. Thanks mate.

  6. Totalfootball
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Shaw likely to play this week?

    1. Fudgy
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm risking it

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Telles a risk

    3. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure. Would try and get AWB/Maguire.

  7. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    @Zophar. In regards to Darlow. Im sure Bruce said he may play Dubravka against SHU. I’d steer clear of Newcastle keepers.

  8. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on this FH team?

    Lloris
    Cancelo Stones Maguire Tierney
    KDB Bruno Son Rashford Saka
    Kane

    Can do something like Rashford & Maguire to Laca & Wilson or Rashford & Stones to Laca & Foden.

    But really not sure about it as Foden might not start and there are some injury doubts surrounding Wilson.

    1. Mr Wolf
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Very solid, keep Rashford

    2. footballfreak
      • 4 Years

      I got this with cover if some dont play..a lot can happen
      Lloris

    Got 0FT with this... could do DCL to someone for -4. What you recon, FH or go with this?

    Lowton - Dias - Stones
    Fernandes - KDB - Son - Stephens
    Kane

    1. Mr Wolf
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      -4 > fh

  10. 420king
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Need to decide whether I'm FHing in 19 or not, before I do my next move. If I don't FH I can have this team for -4:

    MARTINEZ
    STONES AWB dier
    SALAH KDB BRUNO GREALISH
    ANTONIO BAMFORD kane
    (CAPS=DGW)

    Is this team good enough for DGW19 or should I play my FH instead?

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It is good enough for DGW19

      1. 420king
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks.

    2. Mr Wolf
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Can you take Grealish out?

      1. 420king
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        You mean because of the covid situation? I already need to replace DCL and buy Salah :/

  11. jdogg
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Am i mental considering just going with
    Stones
    Bruno kdb son
    Kane

    Taylor* dcl*(you never know)

    Instead of a free hit?x

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    2. Mr. Funny Name
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Play the free hit

  12. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Predict Pep:

    Ederson
    Walker Stones Dias Cancelo
    Rodri Gundogan
    B.Silva KDB Foden
    Jesus

    If Sterling is fine and Aguero can play I think they both start, however.

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      That, but Sterling in for Jesus.

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      This is the reason why I like double City def on Free Hit.

    3. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ederson
      Walker Stones Dias Cancelo
      Rodri Gundo
      Mahrez KDB Sterling
      Jesus

    4. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ederson
      Cancelo - Dias - Stones - Zinchenko
      Rodri - Gundo
      Mahrez - Bilva - Foden
      KDB

  13. shirtless

    DCL fixing! I can't get Laca with Tierney...

    Holding Coady Lacazette 3-4-3

    or

    Tierney Saiss Gundogan 3-5-2

    1. Garth Marenghi

  14. Mr. Funny Name

    Dias or Foden on a FH?

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

      Foden. It's a FH. Roll the dice.

  15. Salan
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    FH GW18

    A. Lloris & Maguire & Tierney
    B. DDG & Dier & Wilson

    Which one will you choose?

  16. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Pick two to play on a FH

    A) Foden
    B) Saka
    C) Wilson

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      a and c

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      D) Dias (alongside Cancelo)

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

      BC

  17. Railwayman
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is Lacazette worth a hit, so I could play 7 players this week ?

  18. Canadian Football
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Hey Lads,

    what's the consensus? Press FH button before price changes tonight? Or still wait until tomorrow?

    1. Mattymo23
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Unsure- I might pull the trigger tonight before I go to bed

  19. Muscout
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone taking a punt on Aguero with FH? How many mins is he likely to play

    1. Canadian Football
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      im TRYING to it him in.

      1. Canadian Football
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        fit

    2. 420king
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Isn't he self isolating?

  20. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Safe to press FH button now?
    Have exact funds for my perfect team and Wilson,KDB are rising tonight...

    1. Salalalalah
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      yes

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

      i think im going to, i have to play FH anyway. I think the only reason to keep it is the risk of the entire GW being cancelled or the season put on pause. You guys in the UK might have more intel on this.

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

      It's always best to activate it late as not to get tripped up. But if YOU want to activate it now, you do that.

  21. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    On FH. Which option would you prefer to finalize it?
    A) Lacazette, Gundogan first sub (or Saka)
    B) Rashford, Davis fodder (Mitchell first sub)
    C) other ideas
    Also, (if I go B) Stones to get City triple, or stick w/ Dier to spread coverage?

    DDG (4.0)
    Cancelo Tierney Dier (Mitchell 3.9)
    KDB(c) Bruno Son Saka ___
    Kane ___ Wilson

    Thanks 🙂

  22. Salalalalah
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Laca or Jesus as 1 week punt?

    1. Mr Wolf
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Jesus can be a massive differential

  23. Jon Snow
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    FH guys are you leaving a playing sub on the bench? Or going all out risky with complete fodder?

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’ll have Mitchell and probably one other playing sub

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

      Saiss first bench guy, rest fodder

  24. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone like Aguero’s chances to start? Could be amazing if he does

    1. Salalalalah
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I think Jesus start, speaking of which, play Jesus or Laca on FH?

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He's isolating.

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

      Aguero is out for at least the next two matches.

  25. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which combo on a FH

    A) Son + Foden
    B) Son + Dias (double city defence)
    C) Sterling + Saka

  26. dbeck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    why is the change in spurs opposition making people have Son and Kane in their FH teams, where before the community vibes were to have just one?

    Fulham last four games have conceded the 2nd least shots in the box and have improved defensively, you could argue it to be as good as the villa def. I think both kane and son are great FH picks but just wondering why the change of heart when the stats look good for the Fulham D

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Fulham aren't bad, it's just that Villa were very good

      Remember, Spurs don't need to thrash them for Kane and Son to get points.

      Son G Kane A or vice versa, that's enough to do the damage

    2. Jon Snow
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      For me there isn't really anyone else at Son's price point and especially with the BGW there are no viable strikers. Therefore might as well go for both unless you really want to stack your defence

  27. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is there any chance still that Southampton vs Leeds goes to GW18? Or no chance at all?

  28. King of Kings.
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Not playing FH.

    Is Bissouma > Lookman worth -4?

  29. Budgies
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    FH Teams, can't decide A or B - any input appreciated.

    Team A
    Guaita
    Dias, Cancelo, Tierney
    Bruno, KDB, Son, Saka
    Laca, Kane, Wilson

    (Steer, Neto, Yedlin, Holgate)

    Team B
    Lloris
    Dias, Cancelo, Tierney, AWB
    Bruno, KDB, Son, Saka, Rashford
    Kane

    (Steer, Brewster, Deco Reid, Mitchell)

  30. AudereESTFacere

    3 years, 2 months ago

    Evening all

    The Villa game being moved and DCL being injured has hit me a little for the BGW and left me with 6 playing, I'm not quite sure where to make changes:

    I have 2FT and 1.6 itb

    Martinez* (Forster*)
    Bellerin Stones Dallas* (Balbuena* Dunne)
    KDB Son Fernandes Grealish* Bowen*
    Kane DCL* (Davis*)

    Would DCL&Bowen>Cavani&Foden/B.Silva be too risky Or would you use any chips? I have them all available.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance

    1. estheblessed
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I had a similar team and went for the FH

      1. AudereESTFacere
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Appreciate your input, are you thinking of keeping your original team for the DGW or using the WC?

    2. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I think these are good moves! Might get the odd benching, but they have DGW afterwards so should have lots of minutes when you consider all three matches combined.

      1. AudereESTFacere
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks, it's very tempting to take the risk and like you say double up the week after, keeping the FH could be very useful if there are any other postponed games later.

        Do you think Foden or B.Silva? I'm not sure whether Cavani will get the nod either but utd seem to need something else other than Martial
