Update: Since there are only 2 weeks doubling in GW23(Burnley and Watford) and no news about Double Gameweek for Villa and Leeds, it is advisable not to play the Free Hit in GW23. If you are looking to get in Watford forwards, hits would be the ideal way instead of Free hit. If you are confused on who to choose between Dennis and King, don’t forget to check this detailed article here.
Having received a few requests to make a free hit draft for FPL GW23 we have gone on to make one in this blog. There could be a potential double for Villa and Leeds which may or may not be confirmed before the FPL GW23 deadline. We would advise delaying hitting the Free hit button as late as possible if you’re intending to use it. It is also to be noted that it is not advisable to play the Free Hit in GW23 if we don’t get the Double Gameweek fixtures for GW23.

FPL GW23 Freehit draft
FPL GW23 Free hit goalkeepers
Leeds have a potential double and Meslier is a very good option to take rake up some save points. Over the last six gameweeks, Meslier has made 20 saves and that trend is set to continue. Gunnarsson makes the second option to save funds.

FPL GW23 Free hit defenders
Trent Alexander Arnold and Cancelo are out picks that need little explanation. Both of them got both attacking and defensive returns in FPL GW22 which is a pretty standard routine for them. If you’re keen on the City defence you can even double up with Laporte who offers so much value and seems to have his spot nailed.
Lucas Digne could also be in a potential double game week this time and he’s a great option to have in your free hit team with potential for attacking and defensive returns. Coady makes our fourth defensive choice this week who just scored last week and is a very good aerial threat. Ait Nouri came back from injury in full tilt and was involved in two d the three Wolves goals and could be an alternative to Coady.

FPL GW23 Free Hit Midfielders
The midfield is where the fun lies in this draft. Jota is our choice from the Liverpool attack in the absence of Salah. Jota was disappointing against Brentford but let’s hope he comes out all guns blazing against Palace. Sterling is our second midfielder option, he’s been in good form over the last few weeks and could be in for a haul.
If you want to go safe, KDB seems a straightforward move instead of Sterling. Since coming back from injury he has returned in 4/6 games and is looking like his older self. Coutinho, Raphinha are our third and fourth options in our draft. Coutinho returned to the premier league like he never left tormenting Man United once again.
Meanwhile, Raphinha could have had more which is normally the case every time he plays. He got an assist in a thriller against West ham but had one more return chalked off and could have had more if his teammates finished those chances.
Harrison is the in-form option with the Leeds winger scoring a hattrick and could take his confidence into the Newcastle United game and potentially the Villa game if they double.
Alternate midfield options: Bowen, Bruno Fernandes,

FPL GW23 Free Hit Forwards
Watkins, Dennis, and Ronaldo make our front three in our FPL GW23. All three of them have not hauled in the recent weeks but have decent oppositions in FPL GW23 and could return.

Final FPL GW23 Free Hit Team
- Formation- 3-4-3
- Subs(in order)- Jota/Dennis, Coady, Tsimikas
- Money in bank- 1.4
- Double Gameweek players(Likely) in the above team: Meslier, Digne, Coutinho, Raphinha, Harrison, Watkins.
Alternate GW23 Free Hit Draft:
The changes that could be made from the above is swapping Sterling and Jota for De Bruyne and Bowen. You could still have more than 1 million in the bank.
Alternate FPL GW23 Free Hit Draft involving Bruno Fernandes:
Bruno Fernandes is in great form getting 2 goals, 2 assists and fetching 23 points in GW22. He is up against a leaky West Ham side without the likes of Zouma and Soucek making their defense vulnerable. Here is a free hit draft involving Bruno Fernandes.
