FPL Dugout Guide
FPL Free Hit Planner
Free hit is your escape valve for a single bad gameweek — a blank, a fixture pile-up or an unexpected double. The chip reverts the next week, so the only constraint is maximising that one matchday.
Best Use Cases
- Blank gameweeks where your starting XI cannot field a full team.
- Double gameweeks you have no other way to load up on.
- A planned wildcard week elsewhere that leaves a structural gap.

OpenFrequently asked questions
Should I free hit early or save it?
Most managers save free hit for a blank or double gameweek in the second half of the season. Early use is rarely the highest-EV move.
