Have already looked there but it doesn’t answer my question from what I can see.

This spurs v Fulham makes it so so much easier.

Kane, Son, Lloris or Reguilion or maybe TOBY as differential.

Who to captain though? Kane seems more appealing than Bruno or KDB...

I’m losing 2 Villa today but I’ve 3 Spurs who now have a home game against Fulham so that feels like the potential use of a FH has been diluted. I still won’t have 11, but already having treble City and treble Spurs would feel like a wasted use of a FH now.

How many will you have?

Losing the Villa game a disaster for me, lost Martinez & Grealish. Going to FH now as I've only 7 with a -4

Dias, Tierney, Son, KDB, Bruno, Kane Brewster

Free Hit null and voids any transfers you make. And you can't carry over any transfers. It's very annoying. This link answers a lot of questions:

Currently on 9 (or 10 if Lamptey was fit to go get 0 points in Manchester. No goalkeeper, and I certainly won’t be taking Martinez out.

Possibly I just make one outfield transfer and play without a keeper. Hard to justify using a free hit now that I have 7 of the best options for the week plus Zaha, Brewster and one more of my choosing.

extra gravy

Just Martinez gone for me, I can field 10 with a -4 hopefully so think I'll do that.

castletownman

Used my FT already in preparation for the DGW, and will have 8 players active mid-week. The negatives been Sanchez vs. City (McCarthy is my no.1 but inactive regardless midweek) and goal-less Brewster. But Cancelo, Bruno, KDB and Son are the positives and should compile a semi-decent collective score

Similar to how I was set-up before the Villa news. If you have the big hitters (KDB/Bruno/Son/Kane) Id be going with it and holding the FH

Think that’s the plan. Kane and Son coming legitimately into the equation now actually changes the game a bit for Free Hitters.

That’s 21 million you’ve to use that makes having all of the likes of Sterling, De Bruyne, Rashford, Fernandes and Lacazette in your team kind of impossible.

Team value a big factor now.

It does answer your question.
Your question is specifically asked in the FAQ.

From below you want to BB in GW19, make a transfer + FH also.

Tandey wrote: »

Just a quick one for some clarity.

I’m gonna bench boost gw19. It’s ok to make a transfer after tomorrow evenings deadline for gw19 and use the free hit also?

ThunbergsAreGo

Looks like the FH will have to be played

Leno

Tierney, Dier, Cancelo (Kilman, Mitchell)

KDB, Rashford, Saka, Son, Bruno

Kane, Wilson (Davis)


Tempted by Wilson to Dias otherwise, apart from that pretty set

First proper mock up of my FH team this afternoon, previously mentioned I'm going with the assumption that Spurs Villa will be called off hence I haven't included anyone.

Right second draft and fairly happy.

Lloris (Button) Counting on a Lloris CS

Wan Bissaka, Cancelo, Tierney (Yedlin, Mitchell)

Wan B for a potential CS, Cancelo & Tierney for CS and attacking potential

Son, Fernandes, KDB, Gundogan, Smith Rose

Son, Fernandes & KDB pick themselves. Gone for Gundogan as he is in decent form, 3 goals in 4 games. Smith Rose looks a good player, also in some great form.

Laca, Kane (C) (Brewster)

Laca in good form and will most likely stick the armband on Kane.

Mr.Prodston

What's the story with Ederson? No chance we'd get Steffen in goal?

Kiith

I've only 8 now (Shaw, Cancelo, Stones, KbD. Fernandes, Son, Kane and Wilson), with Shaw a doubt, so gonna FH i think. Plenty of potential there for points, but not sure its worth holding the FH.

Ace2007

Really don't know what to do - i have 9 players atm with 1 FT. Although question marks may be had with one or two.

No playing Keeper
Stones, Lowton, Holding, Lascelles,
Bruno, Rashford, Son,
Lacezette, Brewster

Non playing players: Mendy, Johnstone, Ballbenua, Salah, Grealish, Adams.

The non playing players have sell on value of 40.1m

Other than the Leeds game at the start of the season, and the city game, they've only conceded 1 goal away from home. They have 2 CS in last 3 games (granted both were at home). I don't feel like Kane is a must, although there are a serious lack of forward options showing any sort of promise at the moment.

Parker will want to get one over on Spurs being an ex-player.

Will no doubt waste most of the evening pondering over ideas

stephenl15

Think I'm still going to go without Kane even though they're playing fulham. Probably not the most logical decision, but I'm on a free hit and everyone else will have Kane, so think I need to be a little different to take full advantage.

thats a fairly strong 8, or 7 if Shaw misses out.

seems like it'd be a waste of a Freehit to me.

2 moves for - 4 would bring you up to 10 players
even
3 moves for - 8 bringing you to 11 players.

Freehit is worth more than 4 or 8 points if it's used in a double game week or if you have a depleted squad in a future Blank game week.

Ginger n Lemon

What a team have I got :pac:

Darlow (Dubravka)

Dias, Reguilon, Tierney, (Saiss, Mitchell)

Bruno, KDB (vc?) Son, Saka, Neto

Kane (c?), Wilson (Wood)

Basically got tons playing on the bench to suffer with as security in case of last minute postponements.

Just gotta figure the captain out... Alternative I could try to get Jesus instead of Neto to start but am fearful he may not play or even if he does he ll be shafted to left wing where he is of no use.

F1ngers

Lost Martinez and DCL for this week.
Don't want to move on any keepers as both have DGWs.

Can get to 8 players with a -4.
Have to decide on Martial or Cavani.
If Cavani I can afford Balbuena(lost his place?) to Tierney(Would be getting Holding if I go with Martial).

davemckenna25

Any ideas if Sterling is fit?

bmorrissey

with Villa players ultimately gone, im down to 5 players...def gonna play the free hit now

Cartman78

Have 8 potentially but it's a fairly shaky bunch and includes the injured Taylor, Anguissa and Brewster so FH beckons I think

I did that with Salah at gw 1. I thought to myself if he blanks and mane hauls I’ll get a jump on everyone. Safe to say that didn’t go well. What forward line are you looking at on the free hit? Personally I would say get Kane in there.

Scorpion Sting

I'd probably avoid going for a Newcastle goalkeeper on Free Hit as Bruce has a decision to make now Dubravka is back and showing good form once again.

bmorrissey

Used free hit and went:

Sanchez
Tierney, Dias, Wan Bissaka
Zaha, Son, KDB (C), Bruno
Lacazette, Wilson, Cavani

Subs: Areola, Saka, Clark, Mitchell

Dubliner28

Salah out
KDB In

Or

McGinn out
Foden in

8 playing so dont want to use FH or go mad making transfers..

There will be better game weeks ahead to use them ....

Is there no way to upgrade the Brighton keeper? Is Leno or loris out of reach?

I have enough for leno and darlow, but i dont trust either to keep a clean sheet at the moment and i already have 3 arsenal. Im banking on save points really, its a gamble but im gonna chance it.
