How to Utilize the Free Hit Chip in Fantasy Premier League

The Free Hit chip is a powerful tool in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) that allows managers to make unlimited transfers for a single gameweek without incurring any point deductions. This can be incredibly valuable for navigating challenging fixtures or exploiting specific player matchups.

Accessing the Free Hit Chip

Activating the Free Hit chip is a simple process:

1. Go to the FPL website or mobile app.
2. Click on the “Transfers” tab.
3. Locate the “Free Hit Available” button.
4. Click on the button and confirm your team changes.

Using the Free Hit Chip

Once activated, the Free Hit chip will allow you to make unlimited transfers for the upcoming gameweek only. This means you can completely overhaul your team, bringing in players from any team or position. However, any changes made using the Free Hit chip will be reverted at the end of the gameweek.

Strategic Considerations

To maximize the benefits of the Free Hit chip, consider the following strategies:

• Exploit Favorable Fixtures: Use the Free Hit chip in a gameweek where your regular players have unfavorable matchups. This allows you to target players who have better fixtures and are likely to score more points.
• Bring in Form Players: Identify players who are in good form and expected to perform well in the upcoming gameweek. Use the Free Hit chip to bring these players into your team, even if they are not in your regular lineup.
• Rest Injured Players: If you have injured players in your regular lineup, use the Free Hit chip to temporarily replace them with fit players. This ensures you don’t lose points from players who are not playing.

Limitations

It’s important to note that the Free Hit chip has some limitations:

• It can only be used once per season.
• Any changes made using the Free Hit chip will be reverted at the end of the gameweek.
• Transfers made using the Free Hit chip do not count towards your weekly transfer limit.

By carefully planning and executing your Free Hit chip strategy, you can significantly boost your team’s performance and improve your chances of success in FPL.
