zøphar 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.
Thoughts on this FH team ?
DDG
Cancelo Holding Dier Yedling
KDB Bruno Son Rashford Saka
Kane(C) Lacazette
Walton Brewster Mitchell Smith Rowe
There are 4 Arsenal players there.
Great first XI though
I'm all for going strong on FH, but they won't let you play 12.
Lol oops I took out Saka.
I think those who go all out in their chip use in the coming GWs are going to climb OR and would have a fair advantage to sustain their rank, compared to those who would be stuck playing catch up
Still more than 50% of the season left 😀
Touche, even sustaining would be difficult with so many uncertainties
This freehit team g2g?
DDG
Tierney - Dias - Stones - Dier
Son - KDB - Fernandes - Rashford - Saka
Kane
(4m - Mitchell - Brewster - Hackford)
G2G
Currently on Darlow on FH but hearing he's not nailed.
Would you go Leno instead?
Already have Tierney.
2 x Newcastle GKs is a neat solution if you can afford
Tough to play the one being sent off and benching the one coming on and saving a pen
I can't afford this unfortunately as I have a 4.0 keeper enabler. Would involve changing the team more. Just switched to Leno and have this side with 0.0
Leno
Cancelo Tierney AWB
KDB Bruno Son Rashford Saka
Kane Wilson
Forster Brewster Mithchell Bernardo
You kinda need 1 decent bench player on first sub.
Wilson is an injury doubt.
Brewster or Mitchell not that? Not really sure how else to do it without changing the team
Are Aguero/Jesus likely to get a lot of minutes over the next three games? Or would Laca be a better option?
If Leeds and Southampton dgw19 are off, are there really any viable dgw strikers left, apart from maybe Vardy. And he's also a risk o with ongoing injury problems?
The one and only, destroyer of Norwich, Michael Antonio!
I think it's worth the risk, starts tonight, they already let Haller go, I think he's fit and ready, hope he stays.
Martial
Would you free hit/wc if you could only field 8 players, possibly 6 if Mitchell and Reguilon get benched?
Are the 6 great players?
KDB, Bruno, Son, Kane, Stones, Saiss. What do you say?
It's decent for sure.
Pretty much need United & Arsenal to concede to escape the FHers
Predictions:
Sheff Utd 1-0 Newcastle (Lundstram, Ramsdale saves Wilson penalty)
Burnley 1-3 Man Utd (Wood, Martial x2, Greenwood)
Wolves 1-1 Everton (Traore, Hamez)
Man City 4-1 Brighton (Sterling x2, Mahrez, Bilva, Dunk)
Spurs 1-1 Fulham (Ndombele, Decordova-Reid)
Arsenal 2-1 Palace (Aubameyang x2, Zaha)
I would put a bet on this.
It's the FPL way 🙂
I'll settle with 10 assists
keep watkins now on Wildcard?? no other good option at his price at the moment.
The other two strikers?
Kane and the other 2 have to pick from antonio, wilson and watkins
I've gone Antonio...
Wilson and Antonio.
Saka or Gundogan the better play this week?
Both good. I’ll probably have both if I FH.
I'm going Gundogan, ESR first sub
Here are the Gameweek 29 Blank permutations from Ben Crellin.
https://twitter.com/BenCrellin/status/1348722117416787972/photo/1
My early predictions are that gw29's games will be:
Liverpool-Chelsea
Wbrom-Everton
Fulham-Leeds
Brighton-Newcastle
Sutd-Villa
Don't think Chelsea get through that draw?
You are right.My mistake on Chelsea's easy games.
FH 29 probably then
Same here
FH Team, no glaring errors?
Lloris
Cancelo Maguire Tierney
KDB (v) Bruno Son Gundogan
Kane (c) Laca Wilson
Steele ESR Yedlin Mitchell
Does the FA cup draw mean Leeds won't play gw19? Are there others that won't play gw19 due to FA cup?
S'ton it seems.
Phew. I thought there would be further damage to my team. 3 Leeds though and that's going to hurt. As will any Covid related changes.
Thanks TM. Much appreciated.
Potentially just play one game (v Brighton) rather than 2
Gotcha. that's not too bad. Though, bamford to Antonio becomes appealing. If Antonio can go on a run without injuries
Been away a few days, now trying to catch up on all the chaos. How likely that the Leeds Southampton GW19 match is off?
Does the FA cup draw means three of LIV, MUN, FUL, BUR, SOT, ARS (plus whoever their opponents) will play in BGW29?
Ah .. just saw the post by wulfranian above
Hi guys ! Using my FH this GW and I would like some opinions on the options I am considering.
***, 4.0
Tierney, Stones, Cancelo, ***, ***
Fernandes, KDB, Son, ***, ***
Kane, Laca, ***
What is best to fill the gaps?
A) Lloris, AWB, Saka (bench : Neto, Yedlin, Brewster) - balanced squad but missing a second MU attacker
B) DDG, Rashford, ESR (bench : Mitchell, Douglas, Davis) - very solid XI but awful bench with only Mitchell likely to play
C) same as B with DDG, Mitchell > Ramsdale, Yedlin to give me another option on the bench in case things go south
Cheers
McCarthy
CANCELO / ROBBO / COUFAL
SALAH / FERNANDES / Son / SOUCEK
VARDY / Bamford / Dcl
Forster // Raphinha / TAYLOR / Alioski
Assuming SOU/LEE gets moved, this would be my GW19 side. I'd move DCL for Antonio. Not worth a BB right, but still perfectly serviceable for GW19?
Toying with going with this, or somehow playing my WC this week to take advantage of BB & save FH for 29.
Cancelo Stones
KDB Bruno Son
Kane
Bench: Martinez, Forster, Dallas, Bednarek, Douglas, Grealish, Soucek, Bamford, DCL
Already used my FT, got 2 mil itb and plan is to BB next week
A) DCL > Wilson (-4)
B) DCL > Lacazette (-4)
C) Forester > De Gea (-4)
D) Douglas > Dier (-4)
E) Use the FH card
What's the latest on Villa? Do we know which players tested positive yet?
Which two for your free hit?
1. Shaw and Rashford
2. Foden and Lacazette
