Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make a transfer then use Free Hit?
You will be back to the usual one free transfer for the following Gameweek. Also, if you use your free transfer and then subsequently decide to play the Free Hit chip, you will lose the initial signing you made.
When should I use my Free Hit?
When should I use my Free Hit? Many top FPL managers use the Free Hit to navigate blank gameweeks. A blank gameweek in FPL is caused by the rearrangement of fixtures due to other cup competitions. It is when several teams do not play within a gameweek so you may struggle to field 11 players in your fantasy team.
How many free hits are there in FPL?
We saw so much disruption in the 2021-22 season that Fantasy Premier League awarded all managers a second Free Hit chip to use, although managers were not permitted to use their two Free Hit chips in consecutive gameweeks.
What are the Free Hit options in FPL?
In Fantasy Premier League, a Free Hit can be used to make as many FPL transfers as you want – but only for a week, as your team will revert back to how it looked the week before. The Free Hit is one of your chips, alongside the Wildcard, the Triple Captain and Bench Boost.
How do you use Free Hit wildcard?
The Wildcard sets any changes you make to your team from that point onwards. That means it does not go back to normal – in other words the team you had previously – once the gameweek ends. A Free Hit, meanwhile, only changes it for one week.

A free transfer is when a player moves from one club to another without a transfer fee being exchanged. Free transfers usually occur when a player’s contract at a club is expiring or has expired.

Is Free Hit worth it?
The Free Hit strategy is quite team dependent. If you have just five or six players then this is a viable option, but if you can get up to nine with a hit or two, I would consider saving it for Blank GW32.
How does Free Hit work?
