🚩 Key FPL Injury Updates

• B. Fernandes (14.8% ownership) - Bruno Fernandes will not be involved against Wolves but the midfielder is already pushing for a return to training. Rúben Amorim said, “Bruno is already saying that he needs to train but we don’t know... No chance he is going to play against Wolves, you can write that!”
• Timber (31.0% ownership) &Calafiori (9.9% ownership) - Both Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori missed out after picking up injuries in training — just three days after Mikel Arteta’s pre-match press conference. Calafiori was even named in the XI for Brighton, only to withdraw during the warm-up. Arteta explained: “Yesterday, we lost Jurrien. Today, we lose Calafiori in the warm-up. Jurrien landed awkwardly, and something very strange happened with Ricci. It’s something he felt yesterday, and today he wasn’t comfortable.”

🤔 What’s the Best Free Hit FPL Team for Gameweek 19?

The Algorithm has crunched the numbers and revealed its optimal squad — built to maximise points.

Ekitiké gets the armband as he faces Leeds. He’s in red-hot form, with 5 goals and 1 assist in his last four games, making him a clear captaincy favourite this week. 🧢

There’s a Forest double-up in defence, which may come as a surprise. 😕

However, with Everton scoring just 18 goals this season — the 2nd fewest in the league — and managing only 55 shots on target, just four more than Wolves. 🛡️

Keane also makes the cut. He’s averaging 10.71 DEFCON points per game, the 4th highest among defenders, offering solid baseline value alongside clean-sheet potential. 📊

Dorgu stands out as the top differential. 🌟

In a more advanced role against Newcastle, he recorded 3 shots on target, 2 shots in the box (both most of any player), and 58 touches — the 2nd most. He looks set to be a key figure if this role continues. ⚡

🚨 Last Call Before the FPL Chip Reset (GW19)

Any unused chips will expire after the Gameweek 19 deadline and won’t carry into the second half of the season.

That means all first-half chips must be used by the GW19 deadline (Tuesday, 30 December, 18:00 GMT). Miss it, and they’re gone.
