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.

          Tierney Dias
          Kdb Bruno son
          Kane Wood Brewster

          Not a single player I would want from the FH teams out here, hence not bothered

          1. Rhodes your boat
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            In a similar scenario, we have the big hitters for the week

      WC25, BB26, FH19/29, TC in a smaller DGW - there will be many.

      I'm tempted to wc, and set myself up for a bb in 19..
      Hard to know, the season could just get crazier as we go on.

      Have a decent team as it is tho.
      Cancelo, dier, Taylor*
      Kdb, son, bruno, saka, burke*
      Kane

    6. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Planning tomorrow after I have a bit more info. Will decide whether to play any chip once I have digested the fixtures and FA Cup draw.

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

    Is zouma still safe choice to keep, looking at 19 onward?

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

      Yep

  4. AnyoneButLiverpool

    Guys, I need help. This is my first season playing and I don't know what to do after all the latest news.

    Martinez Button

    Cancelo Dier Ayling Coufal Taylor

    KDB Bruno Son Grealish Soucek

    Kane DCL Watkins

    1.5m in the bank and 1 FT. Already used 1 FT to get KDB for Salah.

    1. jayzico
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      DCL is out

    2. jayzico
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      WC. There has been hardly any rises. Believe me, I hit WC as soon as I could

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

      FH

  5. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    ESR going up tonight?

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

      Prob not - everyone bringing in will be on WC or FH

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

    Lloris
    XXX / Cancelo / AWB / Tierney

    A) Reguilón

    or?

    B) Stones

    1. School of Poch
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A for me. More attacking threat. But depends what you do with the extra money from Stones

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

    Jesus not on anyone’s radar or have I missed something

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He is blank machine.

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

      Don't go there

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Owned him earlier in the season, an absolute garbage player, even when nailed hes a shite pick

    4. Tomsk
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If I could be sure he'd start I think I'd go or him. (I think he'll start but only about 75% sure).

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

      Dead Money usually

      But one day ... he will actually score a goal

    6. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      There's a reason he's not on the radar.

  8. timawflowers
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    which move to make
    a - Gündogan and lacca
    b - wilson and saka

    thanks

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

      B

  9. Kuqi Monster
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Best pick out of ESR and Saka?

  10. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Leno or Darlow ?

    1. Kuqi Monster
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Leno. Toon GK situation would make me nervous.

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

      Darlow but have Dub as sub keeper just in case

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

    Start Cieran Clark or Rob Holding?

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

      Clark

  12. airzeppelin

    How's this looking? Cheers.
    No FT

    Martinez
    Cancelo - Wan B - ------
    Grealish - Zaha - KDB (C) - Fernadez - Son

      Aston Villa.game canceled. So Martinez and Grealish not playing. Spurs will play Fulham.

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

        Thanks for the update. Now I'm in trouble!

  13. Badgevilla
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Lads if I have two free transfers this week then decide to free hit do I still get two next week or just the one? Thanks and sorry for the question that has probably been asked a million times over .

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

      Just one

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

      1 next week

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

    So many people panicking over the DGW stuff, in other news Antonio is starting!

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

      Kane and Raphina/Grealis to Antonio and KDB it is for me then. No BB, maybe TC.

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

        Selling kane, this gw seems a strange choice.

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

          GW 19.

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

            Makes more sense!

    2. ted mcnure
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Indeed! Brickhouse Mickey is just what I need for gw19!

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

    *Bottomed* My chips live to see another day. How does this look? Took a hit to field 10...Mitchell first sub. Any other moved I should consider? Thanks!

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

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

    Not following. What do we know about gameweeks 26 and 29 after the draw?

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

      Just think people are now guessing the outcome for 4th and 5th round results, and that leads to 3 'crappy' fixtures in BGW29 or something.

      3 crappy fixtures in BGW29 would be the absolute best to FH for me since I would probably not own many of those players 😉

  17. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which option seems best?

    A) Salah, Watkins -> Sterling, Richarlison
    B) Salah, Watkins -> Rashford, Jesus
    C) Salah, Taylor -> Sterling, Stones

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

      Is sterling fit?

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

    What is this C.Wilson rumored injury?

    1. Camino Aleatorio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wut

      I don’t want to waste my free hit. This week already sucks.

      Had 10 players, now 8

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

        Dont think he is injured. Some one just was talking about it...

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

    Sorry repost ! Is 7 ok for Gw18 or should I FH? Already taken -4 but can reverse that by FHing

  20. Better luck next year
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Would you free hit if you could only field 8 players, possibly 6 if Mitchell and Reguilon get benched?

  21. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Schedule changes forced me to play WC as my team was no longer set up well for the BB and in that case the FH felt like a waste when WC can do the job for both 18 and 19.

    Thoughts on this quickly mashed together garbage?

    Areola - McCarthy
    Stones - Cancelo - Tierney - Maguire - Coufal
    KDB - Bruno - Rashford - Soucek - Lookman
    Kane - Bamford - Wood

    ...

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

      I'd like Son if I was on a WC/FH

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

      Antonio over wood?

      Maybe saka over lookman as well, rest looks decent.

      Avoiding salah?

    3. Nanoelektronicar
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It's difficult to get the good form both worlds (blank and double) with that strategy, although saving FH is an advantage. Also, how good BB team could you muster if Leeds and Saints are out of dgw?

  22. Madderegern
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Hit the Free Hit button... its done. Y'all have a good time panicking until deadline.

  23. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    FH or WC?
    Martinez,Johnstone
    TAA, Dias, Dallas, Coufal, Chilwell
    Salah, KDB, Fernandes, Grealish, Raphinia
    Kane,Watkins, Bamford

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Opps. KDB should be Soucek.

  24. LeicesterA
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Last minute switch to FH. Is this about par for the course and GTG?

    Leno
    Cancelo - Tierney- AWB
    KDB - Son - Bruno - Rashford - Saka
    Kane - Wilson

    Thanks very much!

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, very good.

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

        Thank you. Fingers crossed!

    2. School of Poch
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It's a ditto of mine except I have Darlow in place of Leno.

  25. Casual Player
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    No idea what to do - especially if Leeds-Soton off - so think I’ll just do nothing.

    I’m sure doing something would be better, but eh.

  26. Plagued by indecision
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I have no goalkeeper. I am planning to do Salah > KDB (c) and Balbuena > Stones for 4 points. Leaves me 0.2 ITB and I really don’t want to get rid of Martinez. This would be my team for this week at present:

    Xxxx / xxxx
    Taylor* / Stones / Cancelo
    Saka / KDB(c) / Son / Fernandes
    Brewster / Kane

    Got Grealish, Bamford, Bednarek, Justin, none of whom I really want rid of with DGW coming up, but i’m Open to suggestions. Any thoughts?

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

      I am going without GK this week, also have Martinez

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

      No idea if AVLvEVE goes ahead or who will be fit - could leave your AVL players with just the one fixture, away to MCI

      1. Plagued by indecision
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Good point. In that case, would you ditch Martinez or Grealish?

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

          I ditched Grealish even though it meant only getting 7.3 for him
          Not sure on my GK situation - Have both Martinez and McCarthy and tempted to swap one of them for Lloris

  27. Right In The Stanchion
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Really want Aubameyang in, he’s such a differential.

    On pens, plays 90 mins. Could easily get a brace.

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

      The same argument was made for the last 17GWs. At some stage he will get his brace or hattrick though, so up to you.

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

        Yeah...thats the one flaw in this argument... 3 goals in 17, will be a massive upturn for him to haul now.

  28. JIC
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    How’s this for the FH;

    Leno (Sanchez)
    Cancelo, Dier, Tierney (Mitchell, Yedlin)
    Son, KDB, Gundogan, Bruno (Anguissa)
    Kane, Wilson, Lacazette.

    Any changes?

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

    Need blackbox to start asap

  30. Right In The Stanchion
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who’s got the clean sheet odds?

    1. Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Great top of the page. Thank me later...
