FF247 FPL Team GW18
Free Hit The Bollocks Out Of It!
Last week saw some highs and lows within the FF247 community. For every grumble at a 40 odd score there seemed to be a success story of an 80 odd. We fell somewhere in the middle as we ended up with 62. A smidgen above the average of 56 and a very modest green arrow of about 15k all pointed to us just about ‘getting away with it’.
As for the team itself Captain Kane lead from the front with a 24. Bruno (10), Grealish (7) and JWP (6) kept us afloat elsewhere whilst the most unexpected points came from our sub keeper as Forster clambered off the Covid riddled Saints bench for a 6. The rest made up the numbers, Salah included with 2.
Our GW17 Result…
We have 2 free transfers and £0.5m in the bank ahead of B(lank)GW18 and a Free Hit still in our pocket so let’s go see what was decided…
Our G18 Transfer(s)
I was funnelling my inner Alanis Morissette
We did as the title of this article suggests and for one week only, we have played our Free Hit. Trying to reach a decision was arguably easier than it should have been, perhaps all except the author has been tortured into submission. We toyed with a traditional 4-3-3, then a somewhat left-field 3-5-2 before the usually conservative bunch on the committee liked (I think, they may have just been humouring me) the outrageous and less often played 4-5-1.
Without going through every position and boring you all to tears (as I clearly did with my fellow committee chaps), we have concentrated on Man City, Man United, Spurs and god-forbid Arsenal. However, the Free Hit is there to play the fixtures and that is what we have done.
We have also got the main ‘big hitters’ in which hopefully adds to the potential ceiling of points that we can attain this week. After all, we bloody well need them!
To confirm then we have played our FREE HIT
Captain – KdB
Our captain is KdB and our vice is Bruno. There was one shout for Bruno as captain but he was quickly shut down.

Looks very strong
GTG
Quick poll, would you rather:
Wood and Cancelo/Dias or Wilson and Maguire?
This is not on a FH so next weeks games come into consideration.
Do you have Stones?
I do indeed, but I also like City’s fixtures…
Guys am I good to go, saving my FH.
Yep
Cheers Smash and good luck.
Hi all! Thoughts on Saiss and Foden? Is the latter likely to play if Aguero and possible Sterling are both out?
Foden may well start but is a risk an in my opinion not worth taking risks on a free hit. Saiss could be a good shout can’t see that many going for him and may do well with no dcl
I like it and the Foden punt
I have KDB and Mahrez but think might chance the latter to Gundogan.
Since he adopted the number 8 role had 23 points in the last 3 games.
Aguero is definitely out as self isolating and Pep didn’t say much about Sterling.
Can’t make my mind up between Saiss and Wan-Bisakka. Thoughts on which is the better pick?
I’d prefer Saiss
