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.

    So Leeds don't have 2 games in ge19 anymore or?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Probably not.

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

      No but looks like Southampton do!?

      1. George Agdgdgwngo
        • 14 Years

        Why what’s happening?

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

        Thought that its Leeds v Southampton cancelled so that Southampton can play Shrewsbury

    More simple question. If I have already hit the FH button. Can I over ride this with a WC?

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

      Nope

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years

      NO

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years

    Crouchy may as well just carry on drawing to the final...

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Would be helpful for fixture planning tbh.

  5. youzef

    Free hit team:
    Steffen
    Tierney Cancelo Shaw
    Neto KDB Fernandes Son
    Lacazette Wilson Kane (C)
    Bench: Smith Rowe and 3 non playing players.

    Good to go?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Isn't Ederson back now?

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

      Steffen won't start

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

      Steffen? Edersen's back.

  6. cutch
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    On a Free Hit:

    A) Zaha + Gündogan
    B) Saka + Sterling

    1) Bellerín
    2) Tierney
    3) AWB

    Cheers!

    Thoughts on this FH team? Not much of a bench so thinking of downgrading Martial to Wilson. Thoughts appreciated.

    Darlow
    Cancelo Dias Tierney
    Saka KDB Bruno Son
    Laca Kane Martial

    4.0 Burke Kilman Mitchell

    Did they say who got the virus

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

    RMFHT please

    Guaita - 4.0
    Cancelo - Reguilon - 3.9 - Maguire - 3.9
    KDB - Rashford - Neto - Fernandes - Son
    Wilson - 4.4 - Kane

  10. diesel001

    Ben Crellin stopped tweeting after Southampton drew Arsenal in the 4th Round. LOL. GW16 WC, GW18 FH, GW19 BB in tatters.

  11. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Son Kane Raphinha Bamford DCL my players without a DGW19

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Son, Kane still great picks. 1ft needed

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

    It’s almost impossible to keep up with all these changes!

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

      On a WC and think I have now done every possible player combination. I am mentally shot.

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeh I have no clue at this stage. At least, on a FH for 18, I can’t worry myself about 19 and what I have to do now!

  13. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    On WC this week...might now sell Soucek and my Leeds boys, then get Soucek (along with Mo) back on an FH in 19.

    1. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Always had FH19 as an option given those Pool and WHU fixtures, but Leeds double disappearing makes it seem positively sensible.

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

        Agreed. If Villa vs Everton gets called off that'll most likely be the final straw for me.

  14. CRO KLOPP
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone wants to WC now instead FH?

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

      If I could cancel my wildcard I would and play fh instead

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

        Why?

  15. Garam MOSALAH
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What will you do ?

    A) -4 hit with 7 players in GW18
    B) FH

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I did -4 to get 7 so I could save my FH but who knows !!

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

    Biggest losers are those who have like 4 players in 18 and loads of Saints+Leeds players.

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

    FH thoughts?

    Ramsdale
    Cancelo Holding Wan-B Dier
    KDB Sterling Bruno Son ESR
    Kane

    4.0 Mitchell Kilman

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

    Telles or Shaw likely to start vs Burnley?

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

      50/50. Avoid.

      same bemba

  21. Marcin the Pole

    Thoughts on the following FH? Cheers 🙂

    Leno
    Cancelo Stones Dier
    KDB Bruno Auba Saka Neto
    Martial Kane

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

      Rather go Holding from Arsenal def. Or upgrade to Tierney?

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

        Who for though?

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

          Stones? If Arsenal gets a CS Leno will get 6 points. So will Holding at 4.5.

  22. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A) Saka in 3-4-3
    B) Tierney in 4-3-3

    1. turd ferguson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I like B

    Basically people who got in Leeds and Southampton players for DGW19 are sweating hoping that Southampton / Shrewsbury 3rd Round FA Cup tie does not moved to DGW19 and Southampton / Leeds is postponed. i.e. Southampton and Leeds are left with only one game in DGW19.

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      When do we find out?

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

        Probably after deadline

    2. Herman Toothrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If it does..freehit

    3. Garam MOSALAH
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      When will we get that confirmation news ?

    4. Studs Up
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      And why can't the likes of Bamby and co smash BHA in a single?

  24. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    if I have 2 fts and I play FH

    How many trannies will I have for 19, one or two?

    4. Salarrivederci

      One

  25. sandman58
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Best Calvert-Lewin replacement?
    9.1 to spend

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 7 Years

      Martial

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

      Long term or FH?

      1. sandman58
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Don't have the free hit
        So somebody long term
        Thinkin Jesus but not confident...but he does have 3 great fixtures in next 2 gameweeks

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

    Now to plan whether WC18/FH19 is better than FH18/No chip 19.

    This is why I wasted no time building drafts up to now 🙂

    1. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      FH18, WC19.

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

        Very cheeky.

        1. Differentiator
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          😉

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Exactly. I've been telling people to wait to play any chips until tonight at the earliest. But get so much crap here for saying that. When Fabio Borges says he hasn't played his chips yet for GW18, the people on here are lauding him for his foresight.

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

        Of course, he's one of the best players in the world and you're a random FFS user.

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

      WC18 and no chip/TC19 is the best imo.
      Save FH for BGW29, and use your FT's after GW19 to build for a BB in GW26

      1. Ozzy smith
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        An effective BB in 26 won't be easy without the WC in 25, and trying to 'build' your way there imo.

  27. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Time to get the Leeds and Southampton players out!

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

      Anything confirmed or is it still the speculation about FA-cup vs. Shrewsbury?

  28. swisstime
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I need your help. I made 3 transfers ( -8 points) and i just discovered that aston villa is not playing this gameweek (I have grealish and Mings). If i use free hit or wildcard, is the -8 cancelled?

    1. Garam MOSALAH
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    2. Tambling5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If its this gameweek, yes.

    3. swisstime
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Thanks so much ! i am now considering free hiting, would you do it ?
