FPL Free Hit Chip Explained | Extra FH Chip | FPL Guide

A Free Hit is like a Wildcard that works temporarily for one Gameweek before your squad reverts to how it was previously. Again, this chip is very valuable and you should give a lot of consideration as to when is the best time to use it. Timely and successful use of this chip can add big value to your points return and can create a huge difference to your overall rank. The Free Hit chip can be used once a season and can’t be canceled after confirmed.

What is Free-Hit in FPL?

This chip is used to make unlimited free transfers for a single Gameweek. At the next deadline, your squad is returned to how it was at the start of the Gameweek.

When it comes to the value of your players when activating the free hit chip, everything will return to the state it would be in if no transfers were made. Any value built on the players who you transferred in on your free hit will be lost, as they’re not a permanent fixture in your squad. If you take a player out of your squad on your free hit who starts the week at £6.5, and they go up to £6.6 while they’re out of your squad that week, they’ll return to your post-free hit squad with their new value of £6.6.

New additions to freehit this season:

Due to COVID postponements, FPL has offered managers an extra Free hit chip from GW20. This means you can use free hit twice this season. Here are some things you need to keep in mind with this news

• The two freehit chips cannot played in successive weeks. If you play your free hit in GW19 then you cannot play the next one in GW20.
• After playing your Free Hit, your squad will return to its previous state for the following Gameweeks.
• Any team value gained or lost with the new squad will not be accounted.
• Players raising and falling in price of your normal team will be accounted.

When is the suitable time to use Free-Hit?
