Here’s our fantasy premier league GW24 team selection article where we outline the FFGeek teams. We look at last weeks points, transfers, team lineups and captain decisions.
fantasy premier league GW24 team selection – the FFGeek team
Regular visitors will know that I now have 2 teams running due to me accidentally hitting the free hit button last week.
That team is known as the free hit gone team. However I colned one of the alternate strategy teams into the team prior to the free hit with a -28 point deduction so those readers of the site who were using it as a reference point could still do so
The Free Hit gone team
GW23 Pts: 68 pts (av 58 pts) Total points 1,368 OR: 31k TV: £104.1m red arrow 5k
I don’t want to think about last week and the whole free hit disaster but if you really want to know use this early FFGeek team thoughts link. Here’s the team points from last week
Transfer options
The Morata ridiculous sending off in the FACup replay forced my hand. I possibly would have rolled the transfer or even gambled on Luke Shaw for Kenny or Gomez but Morata’s suspension just means he has to go unfortunately.
This week was all about whether I went Aguero or not. I would need a -4 to get him in which isn’t helpful and although you can make a case for any captain as you’ll see in my captain article I decided to go for Kane as the poll leader as almost a way of breaking the tie.
Given that not captaining Aguero and taking the -4 made questionable sense. Firmino was getting to the ownership stage where neutralising him was becoming an option too.
However I have swayed between both all day long and it’s just one of those 50/50s that you just have to make a decision and move on.
Firmino feels like being way to late to the party and to be honest I don’t like his underlying stats but the fact that he’s shown he can over perform has made me justify it.
2 other things have been praying on my mind. The GW26 possible DGW for Man City would make it hard to get him in and the Firmino Holgate bust up still being unresolved. Unvelieveably even as I write this I’m wobbling but in the end I go
Morata out Firmino in
Lineup selection
No problems there. Only issue was Ogbonna vs Gomez. With Ryan playing Chelsea Adrian became GK and there was no way I was having 2 West Ham defenders in the starting lineup. I put Richarlison before Ogbonna.
Captain decision
In the end I went for Kane. As I said it’s a total coin toss.
The lineup
The Free Hit Intact team
