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.

khaledhesham, try to get another GK.
There are rumours that Dubrovka is back and could start.
Dias & Neto (already have stones)
Or
Wan Bissaka & Foden?
First one for me Shadow.
Cheers, that’s what I’m currently on but I saw someone with Foden in and started to get tempted.
First one foden is a risk which I don’t like taking for free hits
1) Thinking of 2 transfers (for a -4), money is not an issue (apart from Sterling but I don’t really want him anyway). Ideally, looking for someone with a game now and double afterwards. I can always do a -8 but is it worth it?!
2) FH…
I am running in circles here. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :help:
Can you do Gun/Forden and Martial?? Both play and double next week.
I agree with this – I’d look to add a City and United player somewhere.
Thanks, GP! Like? I was thinking Dallas (I won’t lose any TV there) to Stones and DCL to Jesus or Martial but those two forwards are, erm, a bit flaky :laugh2:
I prefer Martial to Jesus.
Come to think of it, I prefer anyone to Gabriel Jesus
Thanks for your input RafflesHotspur. Yes, I can do. I was thinking about those two but I am Slightly worried about rotation. Pep is Pep, and Cavani is back from his ban, so he will get some minutes from Martial. I could be wrong but just trying to get someone a tad more nailed, if there is such thing in the current climate :wacko:
Do you both think I should go with two transfers and save the FH for a rainy day?
Yeah, I’ve gone -8 to get 8 playing and save my FH. Bought in Bruno, Stones and Cancelo who all double next week
Cheers mate
Hope you have another week like last week, though at least I’m not playing you this week in the H2H :worthy:
Putting finishing touches to my free hit.Which do you prefer Lacazette and Son or Wilson and Sterling ?
Laca & Son for me.
+1
Agree
***SITE TEAM UPDATE***
DUE TO A COMMENT FOUND ONLINE IN WHICH GUARDIOLA APPEARS TO PLAY UP THE ALTERNATIVES TO JOAO CANCELO, WE’VE CHANGED CANCELO TO RUBEN DIAS IN OUR FH TEAM.
(SORRY FOR SHOUTING)
He is due a rest sometime.Bit odd he started at the weekend and then subbed at half time though.
Thanks for the heads up GP, i read the same article and could not work out if he’s playing or not, I’ve done the same move!
I did the same, just to be on the safe side
To do Cancelo to Diaz, I would have to transfer out Brewster to Wickham (not playing) to make up that 0.1. Is that ok?
FYI I brought in Cancelo at 5.7, hence the price difference.
Thanks for the heads up!
Can’t wait to do DCL -> Antonio after this GW.
LRL, I am doing exactly the same. It has been my plan for the last couple of weeks.
Need to build some cash for KDB.
