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.

Who is more likely to keep a CS…MU or ARS?
Bees, the chances are 50/50.
Man U have a game in hand, otherwise both are on the same level so far.
Thanks Ivan. Would you start Shaw or Smith Rowe?
Are you all set?
Have neither of them but would go Rowe as a home game.
My final team is in comment 13.
Good team there Ivan. Like Lloris in goal.
After you’ve used FH chip can you continue to make transfers until deadline like when using WC?
Just so I can at least get a first draft done in case I forget later on!
Yes you can
Thanks
Last change, or so I’ve told myself for the last hour of tinkering my FH!
Lloris + Smith Rowe or Leno + Saka? I also have Dier and Holding.
I would go with lloris + Smith as prefer to have a spurs double up than Arsenal in def
+1 but just.
Thanks all. I meesed up and just noticed I already have Son and Kane as well, so I can’t get Lloris unless I make some major reshuffling.
So the options are either Leno, Holding, Davies and Saka, or Lloris, Mari, Holding and Smith Rowe.
Afternoon guys, opinions on the FH teams below please! Can’t decide between the 3-5-2 or 4-5-1. Feels like the 3-5-2 has a spread of teams, while the 4-5-1 is much more a punt….thoughts?
Good to go?
Kane didnt play i the FA did he? Maybe a more solid captain pick?
Your team is a bit different than what I have seen, I like it.
Cappo is a lottery. They will both play, so trust your gut.
Thanks! Will do!
Sterling is available according to Pep.
That puts the cat among the pigeons
