GW25 free hit team: the best players and teams to target for your gameweek 25 free hit

GW25 is a gameweek where four teams blank and not just four random teams, it is eight teams where majority of the popular FPL players play for. Here are the teams that blank in GW25:

• Man United
• Brentford
• Newcastle
• Brighton

A blank gameweek for these four teams, mean that it would be difficult for majority of FPL managers to field a team of 11 players – that’s exactly where the free hit chip comes into play.

Using your free hit in GW25, is a great way to set your team up for this blank gameweek. If you’re struggling to field eleven or at least eight players this gameweek, then you should be looking to free hit.

In this article, we’d be creating multiple free hit teams that’d serve as inspiration to FPL managers who are looking to activate their free hit this gameweek.

GW25 free hit tips: Understanding the FPL free hit chip

Before we get into the team creation, let’s talk a little about the FPL free hit chip and when you should play it. Here are some frequently asked questions about the FPL free hit chip.

1. What is the free chip in FPL used for?

The Free Hit chip in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is a chip that allows you to make unlimited transfers in a gameweek, with no point deductions.

The changes made will only be applied to that gameweek and will automatically reset to your original team for the next gameweek. It can be used once per season and is usually used to take advantage of favorable fixtures for a gameweek.

2. How many free hits do you get in FPL?

One free hit is assigned to every FPL manager during the course of a season. And this season is no different, all managers have just one free hit chip. Once you activated it, there’s no going back.

3. Does a free hit cancel transfers?

Yes, if you’ve used your free transfer and have incurred a minus, one of the best ways to cancel the minus incurred from excessive transfers in FPL, is by using the free hit chip.

Once the free hit chip is activated, your minus is taken a way and you can make as many changes and transfers to your FPL team. However, once the deadline passes your team would revert back to the way it was before the free hit was activated.

4. What are the rules of free hit in fpl?

To summarise everything, here are the rules of the free hit chip in FPL:

1. You can only use the free hit chip once per season.
2. You can activate the free hit chip at any time before the start of the gameweek.
3. Once activated, you will have unlimited free transfers for that gameweek.
4. After the gameweek is over, your team will revert back to how it was before you activated the free hit chip.
5. Any unused transfers from the previous gameweek will not roll over when you use the free hit chip.
6. You can make as many transfers as you want during the gameweek, but you cannot make any changes after the gameweek deadline has passed.
7. The free hit chip does not affect your captain or vice-captain selection. You will need to select your captain and vice-captain as usual.
8. The free hit chip does not affect your budget. You will still need to make sure that your team complies with the FPL budget restrictions.
