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.

    Any chance jamal lewis plays this gw?

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 22 days ago

      He's terrible, dont worry

  2. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 23 days ago

    Those with wc, FH, Tc left and not activated any what are you doing?

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

      Keeping all for later

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 23 days ago

        Tempted here too, how you looking for this week?

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 23 days ago

          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
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 23 days ago

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

      2. BooYaKasha
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 23 days ago

        This

      Happy with my ten man team hahaha

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 23 days ago

        I’m trying to do the same but manic on here!

        Got these 6 so far
        Stones holding
        Kdb Bruno son
        Kane

        May take a -4 to get a couple more in

        1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 23 days ago

          You have the main ones!

    3. Flair
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

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

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 23 days ago

        ^

    4. CRO KLOPP
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

      FH 18
      No chip 19

    5. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

      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
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

      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
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 23 days ago

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

    1. Pukkipartyy
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

      Yep

  4. AnyoneButLiverpool
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 23 days ago

    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
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

      DCL is out

    2. jayzico
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

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

    3. BooYaKasha
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

      FH

  5. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 23 days ago

    ESR going up tonight?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

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

  6. arkom
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 23 days ago

    Lloris
    XXX / Cancelo / AWB / Tierney

    A) Reguilón

    or?

    B) Stones

    1. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

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

  7. QUEN
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 23 days ago

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

    1. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

      He is blank machine.

    2. ivantys
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

      Don't go there

    3. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

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

    4. Tomsk
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 23 days 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. Capocannonieri
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

      Dead Money usually

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

    6. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 22 days ago

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

  8. timawflowers
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 23 days ago

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

    thanks

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

      B

  9. Kuqi Monster
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 23 days ago

    Best pick out of ESR and Saka?

  10. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 23 days ago

    Leno or Darlow ?

    1. Kuqi Monster
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

      Leno. Toon GK situation would make me nervous.

    2. Luton_Fan
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

      Darlow but have Dub as sub keeper just in case

  11. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 23 days ago

    Start Cieran Clark or Rob Holding?

    1. Luton_Fan
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

      Clark

  12. airzeppelin
    • 5 Years

    How's this looking? Cheers.

    1. FPL Alaska
      • 11 Years

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

      1. airzeppelin
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 22 days ago

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

  13. Badgevilla
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 23 days ago

    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
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

      Just one

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

      1 next week

  14. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 23 days ago

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

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

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

      1. jason_ni
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 23 days ago

        Selling kane, this gw seems a strange choice.

        1. Nanoelektronicar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 23 days ago

          GW 19.

          1. jason_ni
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 23 days ago

            Makes more sense!

    2. ted mcnure
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

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

  15. KUN+10
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 23 days 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
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 23 days ago

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

    1. Salarrivederci
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 23 days 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
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 23 days ago

    Which option seems best?

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

    1. Pukkipartyy
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

      Is sterling fit?

  18. Pukkipartyy
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 23 days ago

    What is this C.Wilson rumored injury?

    1. Capocannonieri
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 22 days ago

      Wut

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

      Had 10 players, now 8

      1. Pukkipartyy
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 22 days ago

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

  19. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 23 days 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
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 23 days ago

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

  21. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 23 days 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
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

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

    2. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

      Antonio over wood?

      Maybe saka over lookman as well, rest looks decent.

      Avoiding salah?

    3. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 23 days 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
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 23 days ago

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

  23. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 23 days ago

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

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

      Opps. KDB should be Soucek.

  24. LeicesterA
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 23 days 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
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

      Yes, very good.

      1. LeicesterA
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 23 days ago

        Thank you. Fingers crossed!

    2. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

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

  25. Casual Player
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 23 days 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
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 23 days 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
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

      I am going without GK this week, also have Martinez

    2. HashAttack
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 23 days 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
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 22 days ago

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

        1. HashAttack
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 22 days 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
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 23 days ago

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

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

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 23 days 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
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 23 days 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
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 23 days 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
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 23 days ago

    Need blackbox to start asap

  30. Right In The Stanchion
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 23 days ago

    Who’s got the clean sheet odds?

    1. Right In The Stanchion
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 23 days ago

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