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.

      On the fence but I'd say save your FH.

      Taking a risk with Mitchell and Lowton and Brewster......I would FH .....

    Is this FH team gtg pending Sterling fitness confirmation? Cheers!

    Darlow
    Cancelo - Tierney - Dier
    KDB - Sterling - Bruno - Son - Saka
    Kane - Wilson

    (Steer) (Mitchell - Davis - Douglas)

  4. Niho992

    If game between Soton and Leeds is potponed would you still play your BB?

    1. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Probably not.

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Probably but not expecting much. On wildcard atm

  5. kime67

    Why do i see so many teams without Wilson?

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      People going for Laca and Kane

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

    First to 3 wins!

    A) Cancelo + Laca (3-4-3)
    B) Fernandez + Rashford (3-5-2)

    Leno
    AWB Dias
    Bruno KDB Saka Son
    Kane Wilson

    RMFHT? ¦ Lloris
    Cancelo Dias Tierney Shaw
    KdB Auba Fernandes Son
    Wilson Richarlison
    ¦ ESR Brewster Mitchell

    1. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Thought about Richarlison but not sure I'm keen. Like the midfield though, and defence good too.

  8. Aaa
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    How’s this FH team looking?

    DDG
    Cancelo/Tierney/Aurier
    KDB/Fernandes/Son/Fidel/Saka
    Kane(c)/Lacazette
    (4.0/Clark/Brewster/3.9)

    1. Yes Ndidi
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure Fidel's up to 90 minutes these days.

      1. Yes Ndidi
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Apart from that, it's similar to the way I'm heading. Just Zaha and Neves as 4th & 5th mids.

  9. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Early WC draft
    DDG* Meslier
    Dias* - Cancelo* - WanB* - Dallas - Coufal
    Bruno* - KDB* - Son* - Raphina - Smith Rowe*
    Kane* - Bamford - Wilson*

    * GW 18 players
    Plan is to have 10 players for 18
    Next GW
    Kane + Son to Ings + Salah and Bench Boost.

    Please give your suggestions.

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

      I'd go 2 Leeds players just in case of the game being off in GW19 and that also gives you another starter in GW18. Raphinha > Neto (he has WBA in GW19 so that's nice)

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

        ok thanks. But for that i have to degrade Cancelo to Stones though. What are your thoughts on the rest of the wildcard?

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

          Cancelo to Stones worth the other upgrade imho

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

            yes thats what i think

      2. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        or Raphina to Soucek?

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

          Raph > Soucek is good too.

  10. willevete
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    In DRAFT.
    I got offered KDB for my Son. Thinking of taking it.

    KDB has one more game to play then Son aswell.

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

      What a steal, take it!

  11. arkom
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Lloris
    Stones / Cancelo / AWB / Tierney
    KDB / Bruno / Rashford / Son / Saka
    Kane (c)

    Subs: Bellerin / Fodder / Fodder

    Good to go?

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

    Think I manged to get a strong FH line up including bench to cover any changes after the deadline (apart from GK)

    Ramsdale
    Tierney, cancelo, Shaw
    KdB, Bruno, Son, Saka
    Laca, Kane, Wilson

    Bench: Gundo, Sais, Kilman

    Any changes to the starting 11?

    1. Pinturicchio10
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheaper bench and a better GK I'd say. Ramsdale is a bit of a stinker.

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

          This and Kilman to Mitchell.

      • ivantys
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Bench is not needed for FH, it's not a WC, just go all out.

    2. Pinturicchio10
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Has the rearranged fixture changed your captaincy plans? I still think De Bruyne is the standout pick but Son/Kane is kinda tempting.

        1. Pukki Party
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          On Kane currently

          1. Pinturicchio10
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Switched from?

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

            Considered it but I consider Brighton the worst of the three teams defensively and watching KDB indicates to me that he's playing at an outstanding level right now, so he'll be my captain.

            1. Pinturicchio10
                3 years, 2 months ago

                I tend to agree. A couple of assists and a pen hopefully.

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

            What’s going on with this Leeds Southampton fixture?

            1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              I'm guessing nothing in the short term mate. The PL would have used this morning announcement if they were going to change anything for 18

            2. S.Kuqi
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Just Ben Crellin things

          4. Alisson WondHaaland
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            United fans, what do you think of Rashford? The few United games I've watched he seemed isolated on the wing and certainly didnt justify his 9.6m fpl price tag.

            His xG is decent but Im not really convinced that he'll score highly

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

              Has returned in every away game this season and has 4 seats games in his next 4 GWs

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

                *seats = away

            Wilson flagged in Fffix - muscular tightness?

            One week punt - Auba or Bruno?

            1. Pukki Party
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Bruno, not a punt though

            2. The Train Driver
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Even if you get x2 points for Auba I would get Bruno.

            Darlow -> Leno for FH drafts in the midst of rumors that Dubravka might start?

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

              Yes.

            2. Alisson WondHaaland
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Looks like it. I really cant see Darlow being dropped but Leno is a good option too

          12. House Frey Wedding Planner
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Was planning to carry 11 players into gw18 now I'm down to 8.

            Holding Mitchell Cancelo Dias
            Son Bruno KDB
            Kane

            Subs - Martinez, Peacock-Farrell, KWP, Grealish, CJones, DCL, Bamford

            Have 1 FT and 1.1 itb.

            Did want to carry this over as I could make 2-3 changes for dgw19. Now my team looks a bit light and feel I need to make the change now.

            Would prefer to bring in a player that I'd play for gw18 and gw19. Should I:

            A - KWP to AWB
            B - DCL to Laca
            C - other
            D - hold my transfer and go with 8 players

            Cheers

            https://twitter.com/BenCrellin/status/1348702522769362947

            If my maths is correct then there's approximately a 60% chance that Leeds vs Southampton won't need be removed from DGW19 - Crellin

            40% chance of it being removed is a dangerously high amount

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

              It's 5/31 + 5/15 assuming all those 5 teams win and not draw each other, so that's 49% max.

          14. RedJive79
            • 4 Years

            Slight change to last team posted. How's this FH team looking now??

            Darlow
            Cancelo / Tierney / Lascelles
            Saka / KDB / Son (c) / Rashford/ Bruno
            Kane / Lacazette

            Bench is all fodder.
