If you happen to find yourself in a tight spot in Fantasy Premier League, there are a few useful chips that can help you get out of it: Bench Boost, Free Hit and Triple Captain.
While Bench Boost enables you to scoop up points from all 15 of your players and Triple Captain trebles the number of points of your skipper, the Free Hit is essentially a Wildcard lite.
It is probably the least heralded of the three bonus chips but that doesn’t mean to say that it cannot come in extremely handy during the season.
Here is all you need to know about the Free Hit.
What is a Free Hit?
The Free Hit chip allows managers to make an unlimited amount of transfers in a selected gameweek.
It differentiates itself from the Wildcard in that your transfers are only active for one gameweek – once a round of matches is completed your squad reverts to its original form.
How do I use my Free Hit?
To use your Free Hit visit the “Transfers” tab and make more than one transfer.
Now click “Make transfers” and then select “Play Free Hit”.
When can I use my Free Hit?
The Free Hit can be used once during the Premier League season.
When should I use my Free Hit?
There are a few approaches that can be taken when implementing the Free Hit chip.
First of all, players might want to temporarily patch up their squad during a gameweek affected by postponed fixtures. The Free Hit chip allows players to ensure that their team features players from teams guaranteed to be playing.
Alternatively, FPL managers might want to capitalise on a double gameweek in which teams have more than one fixture in the same week. In this case, the Free Hit chip allows players to temporarily bolster their squad with players who will likely feature twice in the selected gameweek.
A final tactic is to wait until the very last gameweek of the season to use it, especially if there is still plenty to play for on the final day. By doing so, you will be able to select players pursuing individual accolades like the Golden Boot or Golden Glove as well as those with aspirations at either end of the table.
How will it affect my players’ prices?
Following the use of your Free Hit your squad will return to its original incarnation and players will be able to feel the benefit of price changes.
Can I cancel my Free Hit?
No, once your Free Hit has been redeemed you are unable to reverse your decision.
