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.

    Free rides into quarters for city, chelsea, leicester and sheffield.

      I wouldn’t put money on us. But hopefully

        Yeah but not sure if you would want so many games for them lol.

      Brentford vs. Leicester could be tricky.

    RMFHT please (RP)

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

      Can I be honest? Guiata needs to go. Palace are haemorrhaging goals. No city defence is Crazy and only one city player more so. Wolves don’t have a striker. Will they score lots of goals against Everton? Unlikely. I would get foden or gundogan.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Might be but prob won’t be announced until after GW18 deadline

  8. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 14 Years

    Free Hit, or Free Hit, Ay there's the point,
    No bench, no keeper, is that all? Aye all:
    No, to -4, -8, to captain, postponement there it goes,
    For in that dream of losing mini leagues, we hope, a circuit break,
    And borne before an everlasting judge, the rate my team,
    From whence no manager ever returned, until next season,
    The undiscovered haul at whose sight
    The smug emoji smile, and the accursed damn'd.
    But for this, the joyful hope of this,
    Who'd bear the scorns and flattery of the fantasy world,
    Scorned by the pro pundit, who cursed of the casual?
    The manager being oppressed, the XG’s wrong'd,
    The taste of red arrow, or rage transfers,
    And thousand more calamities, the eye, the test,
    To click and sweat under this weary FPL,
    When that he may his full Spurs trio make,
    With a bare nine, who would this endure, with caveat,
    But for a hope of something after hits?
    Which puzzles the brain, and doth confound underlying sense,
    Which makes us rather bear those rushed deadlines we have,
    Than fly to others that we know not of, punts,
    Aye that, O this conscience makes cowards of us all,
    FPL in thy team news, be all my hits remembered

      well done, I enjoyed that.

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Excellent , takes a few reads of course

  9. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    All set ladies & gents?

    DDG
    Dias Dier Tierney
    KDB(C) Rashford Bruno Son Saka
    Kane Wilson

    Forster Brewster Mitchell Kilman

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Why Dias over cancelo?

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        No particular reason. Is Cancelo more nailed?

        1. Garth Marenghi
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Equally nailed, cancelo just more attacking

  10. Naby K8a
    • 8 Years

    Liverpool have drawn PL opposition 17 in 26 domestic cup draws under Klopp. #Fix

    1. Joker91
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      What's the expected number?

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

      Do you actually believe that's a fix?

  11. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Salah, Adams, McCarthy to Kdb, Antonio, Fabianski (-8) is definitely on the cards for next week

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

      One week at a time, one week.

    Evening all!!! On WC, best way to free up funds to get DDG in place of Martinez.....
    A- Dias to Stones
    B- AWB to Lindelof
    C- Cresswell to Coufal
    D- Saka to Smith-Rowe
    Many thanks !!

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi

        Cheers matey!! Definitely one of those two for sure!!

  13. Nightcrawler

    Would be foolish to sell bamford. So much value tied in him and he's a bargain pick

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

      Plenty of goals still possible vs. Brighton.

    2. jesus jesus
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not about value atm i believe - its getting 2 teams out for next 2 weeks

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

    Need Ben to start telling us what BGW29 will most likely look like, need to decide on FH date!

  15. Releasebreaks
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Any news if Ederson is coming back for DGW? Steffen looks cheap 4.4 as city cover.

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes he will be back for the double

  16. circusmonkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Was all set on keeping the free hit but with DCL and Grealish out, I only have 4 I want to play and 2 ponies.

    What about this FH?
    Leno
    Dias, Cancelo, Dier, Bellerin
    KDB, Bruno, Son, Saka
    Kane, Wilson
    Bench: Neto, Yedlin, McGoldrick

    Yeah pretty standard I know. Any love for Martial instead of Wilson? Could find the money by weakening bench.

  17. Syd.
    • 14 Years

    Man City with 2 away games

    we never get a break

    1. Naby K8a
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Don’t worry plenty of rest for these easy cup games against minnows

    2. Joker91
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      What about the game two days ago?

  18. iL PiStOlErO
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    How about this FH?
    Trying with 4-5-1 for a change...

    Lloris
    Cancelo Tierney Shaw Saiss
    KdB Bruno Rash Son Saka
    Kane(C)

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Mine actually is

  21. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is bb still viable with 11/12 double gw players and 3/4 singles with good fixtures ?

  22. The Frenchie
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What to do with Leeds players now?

    That was my team on a WC, with 9 players able to play in BGW18 and 11 players with two games in DGW19..

    Meslier / Leno
    Stones / Dias / Creswell / Dallas / Holding
    Salah / KDB / Bruno / Maddison / Smith-Rowe
    Kane (Vardy DGW19) / Bamford / Brewster

  23. Syd.
    • 14 Years

    Planning

    ehh

    lol

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

    To be fair though, Brighton at home is still a great fixture for Leeds. Bench boost an option.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      This is what I’m thinking I only own bamford for my bb

  25. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else winging it with 6 players? I'd rather use a FH in GW19 and load up on DGWers.

    My six:

    Holding Clark
    KDB Bruno Son
    Kane

    (Lewis)

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

      U would FH 100%

      1. Pukkipartyy

  26. KUN+10
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    My chips live to see another day. How does this look? Took a hit to field 10...Mitchell first sub.

    Martinez*
    Cancelo, Diaz, Dier, Holding
    KDB(c), Bruno, Son, Smith Rowe
    Kane, Wilson
    (4.0, Mitchell, Grealish, Bamford)

  27. dshv

    3 years, 2 months ago

    FH G2G. ???

    ddg
    Cancelo holding diaz
    Razhford kdb(c) son bruno saka
    Kane wilson

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

    Martinez and McCarthy owner - wouldn't be surprised if both only get one game each next week

    Beginning to think it may be worth getting Lloris in for a -4 this week

  29. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Saka or Smith-Rowe?

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

      Saka

  30. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    No Leeds DGW is perfect for me having no Leeds attacker

    Dallas to Cancelo

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

      Good

    2. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years

      Congrats

    3. AnyoneButLiverpool
      • 4 Years
