GW28 free hit team: the best players and teams to target for your gameweek 28 free hit

GW28 is a blank gameweek where six teams blank and not just six random teams, it is six teams whom the majority of the popular FPL assets play for. Here are the teams that blank in GW28:

1. Man United
2. Man City
3. West Ham
4. Liverpool
5. Brighton
6. Fulham

A blank gameweek for these six teams means that it would be difficult for some 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 GW28 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.

GW28 fixtures

What teams should you target for your GW28 free hit

Looking at the fixtures, it is very important to target teams that have relatively easy games and teams that are on form. Based on that, here are the teams you should be looking to target for your GW28 free hit team:

1. Chelsea
2. Newcastle
3. Arsenal
4. Aston Villa
5. Spurs
6. Brentford
7. Leicester

When else can you play your free hit chip

There are other gameweeks where free hitting would be ideal. Some of those gameweeks are:

• Blank gameweek 32 – where the teams that make it to the FA Cup semis would be blanking.
• Double gameweek 29 or 34 or 37 – another good strategy would be to use your free hit in a double gameweek.

Again if you are able to field at least eight players this gameweek, then you should probably hold onto the free hit chip and use it in one of the times we’ve got above.

GW28 free hit teams

1. GW28 free hit team – 99.5million – 3-4-3 formation

This is our first GW28 free hit and it’s a pretty solid one. We’ve got players in this team that play for sides that have good fixtures and we’ve also got players that are on form in this team.

In defense, we’ve got three full-backs that play for teams with good clean sheet odds in GW28. In midfield, we’ve got wingers and good attacking midfielders that can get us assists and goals.

And in attack, we’ve got a good-looking forward line as well. We think this attack is great because the players we’ve selected are playing against sides that very rarely keep clean sheets.

Obviously, there are still so many other good players that you could add to your team and to give you an idea of such players, we’d be creating another GW28 free hit team.

2. GW28 free hit team – 98.6 million – 4-3-3 formation

This is our second GW28 free hit team and in this one, we’ve tried to select a different variety of FPL assets and players. You can see here that we’ve added a couple of Chelsea, Leicester, and Newcastle players.

You can also see that we’ve now got a solid bench and a solid starting eleven. You’ve got 1.4 million in the bank and you can use it to upgrade any other area of this team.
