Pros and Cons of FPL GW25 Free Hit
Pros
- You can field 10 or 11 Double Gameweek players. Attack the upside with Liverpool players like Salah, Nunez, and TAA who are less owned and are not there in your teams.
- Good option if you have a very weak bench and have 5-6 players from the Blanks.
- Field a strong 11 this week and can still hold players like Rashford, Shaw, Trippier, Mitoma, and Estupinan for the coming weeks as they are quality and consistent players.
- Does not require hits to field a eleven this week.
Cons
- Free Hit might be required in Blank Gameweeks GW28/GW32. GW28 is likely to be the Biggest Blank Gameweek with 10 teams likely to blank.
- There are teams that are likely to Double in GW27, GW29, and blank in GW28(Like Brighton, and Brentford). So Free Hit might be more powerful there.
- Liverpool have chances of not blanking in GW28 and Doubling in 29. So if that happens you would require Liverpool players long-term rather than just for GW25 alone.
- There is not enough upside outside Liverpool players for GW25. Arsenal have a good double, but most teams are already stacked with Arsenal triple-up.
Players to Target in FPL GW25 Free Hit(Team Wise)
- Liverpool– Salah, Nunez, Alexander Arnold, Robertson. Jota and Gakpo are decent punts, but don’t expect them to start both games.
- Arsenal– Saka, Odegaard, Nketiah, Zinchenko, Gabriel, White
- Everton– Tarkowski, DCL(if fit), Pickford, Mykolenko, Iwobi
- Wolves– Kilman, Dawson, Bueno, Sa, Neves/Podence
- Manchester City– Haaland, Mahrez, De Bruyne, Grealish(Have an eye on the midweek UCL games)
- Fulham– Mitrovic(if fit)
- Aston Villa– Watkins
- Leicester– Maddison
- Spurs– Harry Kane
FPL GW25 Free Hit Drafts
FPL GW25 Free Hit Draft 1
- 9 Double Gameweek players except for Haaland and Mahrez.
- Liverpool Triple up of Salah, Nunez, and TAA. Liverpool looked really good vs Wolves and this looks to be the best Liverpool three based on minutes and form. One of the games for Liverpool is against Crystal Palace who have the Second worst xGC(14.82) in the league since the World Cup.
- TAA is also looking good once again and against Newcastle, he created 2 big chances for an xA of 0.88 earning himself an assist and 3 bonus as well.
- Arsenal attack Triple up of Saka, Odegaard, and Nketiah. Arsenal don’t have a clean sheet in the last 5 games but are still looking good attack-wise. Between these 3, they have 19 Goal involvement from 9 games since the World Cup break.
- Mahrez is a placeholder for a City midfielder slot vs Bournemouth. It can be De Bruyne/Grealish/Foden based on who starts in the midweek Champions League.
- This draft has an Everton double defense of Pickford and Tarkowski who have 2 clean sheets from the last 3 games. Believe it or not, Tarkowski has the most shots inside the box among Everton players since the World Cup break. He always carries a good ariel threat.

FPL GW25 Free Hit Draft 2
- This draft has Gakpo in place of Nunez. Gakpo has 2 goals from the last 2 games and is playing as a striker compared to Nunez who is playing on the left. However, there is a minutes risk for Gakpo with both Jota and Firmino also back fit now.
- Nketiah has missed 4/4 big chances in the last 2 games and there seems to be a dip in form. There are also suggestions that Nketiah could be benched for one of the games with both Trossard and Martinelli starting. So we have gone for a defender(Zinchenko) for the third Arsenal slot.
- Watkins has been in great form of late getting 4 goals from the last 4 games. Dominic Calvert Lewin can be a punt option for that spot if he is fit and you want to attack the Double Gameweeks.

FPL GW25 Free Hit Draft 3
- A slightly more differential draft playing Robertson and Trent Alexander Arnold. Yes, Liverpool have been poor defensively this season, but there is also a great upside and chances for attacking returns with TAA and Robertson.
- There are also good chances of a Clean Sheet for Liverpool in GW25. Their opponents in GW25- Wolves and Palace are not in good attacking form and are ranked 17th and 18th for Expected Goals in the league since the World Cup.
