GW36 tips: gameweek 36 free hit drafts

One of this week’s biggest talks is the free hit. A lot of managers still have this chip available to them and they are looking to activate it this gameweek. One issue FPL managers are facing this gameweek, is selecting players from Liverpool and Manchester city.

The fear of Klopp and Pep rotating this week is something that keeps lingering at the back of our minds. Well, we can’t predict their line-ups but some FPL managers have shared their thoughts on some nailed on assets this week. They’ve also gone on to create some free hit drafts that we’d be sharing with you.

If I was on a Free Hit this week, I'd pick something like this:

Schmeichel
Trent Cancelo Dias Laporte
Salah (c) Son Diaz Saka
Nketiah Richarlison

Here’s another really good free hit team by @LeafyDragon_FPL which is actually kind of nice. In his free hit draft, he has not gone for Trent or Robertson, rather he has gone for Joel Matip, has doubled up on City’s defense and has included De Brunye and Luiz Diaz as well.

If there’s anything we’ve learned from this, it is that Manchester City’s defenders are the safest way to stay clear of Pep’s roulette this week.
