The Free Hit chip is an extremely powerful tool in Fantasy Premier League, granting players the opportunity to completely change their team for just one game week. Luckily, this AI can pick out the very best Free Hit team each week based on stats and player data. Here’s the best team for GW29.
As explained, the Free Hit is a one-week play, able to completely change up your fantasy team to pick anyone you want (providing you can afford them), and can easily help you navigate a tricky fixture schedule or an awkward game week.
That said, it can always feel a daunting prospect, and it’s difficult to pick the best 11 players to field for your one-week punt, with a mix of differentials as well as guaranteed high-scorers meaning you could have a very boom-or-bust week.
That’s where this AI steps in.
Best Free Hit FPL team: Gameweek 29
The AI Team Picker on FantasyFootballHub analyses all the data among each Premier League player to assess who is most likely to score highly in any given game week or period of gameweeks.
Here is the Free Hit team the FFH AI recommends for the especially tricky FPL Gameweek 29:
- GK: Kaminski (LUT) (VC)
- GK: Flekken (BRE)
- DEF: Doughty (LUT)
- DEF: Assignon (BUR)
- DEF: Taylor (BUR)
- DEF: Collins (BRE)
- DEF: Mengi (LUT)
- MID: Son (TOT) (C)
- MID: Maddison (TOT)
- MID: Bailey (AST)
- MID: Bowen (WHU)
- MID: Kulusevski (TOT)
- FWD: Toney (BRE) (VC)
- FWD: Watkins (AST)
- FWD: Fofana (BUR)
This is AI’s best attempt at a Free Hit team for FPL GW29.
Obviously, the key when picking your Free Hit team is maximizing your on-field assets. That means going as cheap as possible on the bench (you shouldn’t expect to need them) so as to bolster the starting XI.
With this week being so tricky, given all the blank fixtures, AI is pushed into an extremely limited crop of players. There are some big scorers in there like Heung Min-Son, Ollie Watkins, and Ivan Toney, but the defence isn’t great.
Obviously, this is just how AI sees it and you may have your own ideas, so, the choice is yours at the end of the day.
