Personally it would ruin the guys who meticulously watch each game .. like there would be one person who would be 100 points behind and could catch up without any tact at all. The triple captain kinda helps out the people who use it at the right time but unlimited budget would be as you said Insane
hey man, I have got 2 transfers this week, and if i 1st transfer 2 players of my team, then confrim without using free hit, once this transfer is done & now before the start of coming GW18 if i use Free hit and do 5 changes, will i have my team with those 5 original players returning to team or the 7, in GW19 ?
If I use 1 FT, thatone which get always for a new GW (before for example GW30) and after that I activate Free Hit (also before GW30). Will remain that 1 transfer for next GW, which i confirmed before activate Free Hit or it will disappear?? Please for response, it's urgent situation! :D
Im playing this game for a couple years and still have some doubts... RIP ;( If I make 1 FT, thatone which get always for a new GW (before for example GW30) and after that I activate Free Hit (also before GW30).

A Free Hit can be taken once per season and allows for unlimited transfers in a single Gameweek. Managers can replace their entire squad for that Gameweek but their 15-man line-up is returned to how it was at the start of the Gameweek for the next deadline
Hiya mate, if you used the free hit it will cancel your -4. It will also cancel the transfers you initially made. So your team next week will go back to how it was before the -4 transfers were made.
You could free up some fund's by replacing chicharito, I see firmino as a backup option and not a go-to striker, David Silva a great replacement for Pogba, A. Carroll a great replacement for richarlison, Fabregas a great pick
If you make a transfer, and then activate the free hit after - the transfer you initially made won’t count. The following gameweek your team will back to how it was before any transfers were made.
UPDATE: If an FPL manager uses the FREE HIT chip before the Gameweek deadline, this will override the transfers you've already made. No penalties will be applied in that gameweek, even if you've already taken a -4, -8, -12 hit. The following Gameweek your team will reset to how it was before ANY of the transfers were made.
What if you have two free transfers that you want to make permanent so you transfer in Player A and Player B, then you use the free hit for subsequent transfers in the same gameweek, will the team return back to the team with players A and B or the team prior to that? I hope that's clear. Thanks.
Hey! I took accidentally -36 point hits... I was meaning to play the free hit but I hit the wrong button. Based on your update claim, no points will be negated and I get to restore my original team, is that right? This will cause me headaches, please respond.
I have one free transfer for the upcoming gameweek. I plan to use the free hit but next week what happens for my free transfers? Will have two free transfer or only one ? Thanks for the video.
Hey, i used free hit and make a captain and vice-captain in order to get points only for one match but i couldn't change it , why? And i couldn't make substitution also or my bench player will also earn points in free hit method or what is the case? Please tell me.
When using free hit will i lose value on players that have increased in value since i bought them. ie selling Kane will give me £10.7m but to buy him back he will cost £11m does the free hit take this loss out of the equation
On the app, head to transfers and select the players you wish to change. Once you've decided, hit 'next step' and you'll see a 'Play Free Hit' box which you can tick.
I'm a "newb" to the game. I used the free hit and I was very disappointed. My team switched back before the match day was even finished. I thought that surely this would last for one match week. I didn't even get one match day out of it. They should change the name from free hit chip to change your players for a few hours cheap.
So ive accidentally pressed confirm transfers, not free hit, can I fix this? And turn my transfers into a free hit? Because I'm now on -28, so again, my intention was to press free hit, but I accidentally pressed confirm trades.
Trying to bring in Salah and Arnautovic for this weeks two free transfers, but then my bank is -1.2 in debt. I've heard you can take a 4 point hit for this but can't seem to find the option to complete the transfer and take the hit, any help?
John Conaty that's not how its work. -4 didnt do nothing to your money balance, you must not have negative balance for the transfer button to be appear.
Hi, if I use wildcard, will my 100m max limit still apply? Ie can I make a whole new squad without I have to worry about the $ as in usual transfer.... pls confir
I was taken by surprise when i discovered gameweek deadline was tonight 6.45pm. Is there no way i can use free hit for the games tommorrow. Does the free hit have to be activated before the deadline.
Unfortunately Ronan, as you've missed the deadline you won't be able to use the Free Hit. You'll have to stick with your current team. There's another gameweek starting on Tuesday, so be sure not to miss the deadline on that one!
TheIseethings you can only use one chip at a time. And freehit button should appear if you take a HIT bc no need for freehit if you dont take any. Or try to refresh F5.
does using free hit get cancel any point deductions youve already accumulated before the next gameweek? like i took a -4 hit yesterday, if i play the free hit chip today would it cancel that -4?
Hey Marvin, not quite sure what you mean here. The Free Hit allows you to make unlimited transfers to your team for one gameweek only, all within the budget you have. All the transfers you make using the Free Hit with have reduction on your points. Hope this helps.
Daksh Tevathia Hey Daksh. You will only be able to use the Free Hit chip ONCE all season. You will not receive a second one like you do with the wildcard. Hope this helps.
"If you’ve taken any hits prior to activating the free hit chip, the points will be restored. " Source fpl free hit website Does this mean that if i have already transferred 5 players (-20points) then use free hit and transfer more.... In upcoming gw I'll have to face -20point? Or there will be no negetive points? Please help
Sorry for this Phillip. I know it's a little late for you now, but in FPL, you can't use ANY of the chips together in a single gameweek. I made this same mistake a few years back and learned the hard way!
Hey man great video very helpful... I do have one quick question: If I activate my free hit chip at the beginning of the week when I had "1" transfer. I repeat, I activate the free hit before making any transfer and go on doing all the transfers that I wish to make before the deadline and on the next round I get my old squad back. now my question is since I used my free hit chip before making any transfers, on the following week will I have 1 or 2 transfers available ? I tried looking everywhere for this answer but no one seems to know :(
Mz Thanks bud. I understand your question. Your 1 free transfer will not carry over to 2 next week, despite activating the free hit before using it. The same is with the wildcard. Your free transfers will always go back to 1, the week following the use of your chip.
Can I use my usual free transfer and then the Free Hit chip in the same week? I have a few injured players and want to shift as many as possible without wasting points, obviously.
So, let's say I get rid of Yoshida and use my normal freebie, will any further transfers using the free hit chip over-ride this and next week will Yoshida be back in my team or the player I replaced him with before using the chip?
That's a really good question David. I'm actually unsure on this. I'd like to say that Yoshida wouldn't come back because you already used the legitimate free transfer on him, but I can't be certain. I'll look into this!
Did you manage to look into this? Can you confirm that Yoshida would come back even if we use the free transfer to transfer him out before using Free Hit?
Hey Arshia, apologies for the late response. I can confirm that Yoshida would come back in the above example. The Free Hit will override any transfer that you make that gameweek before activating it. So, if I make 3 transfers and take a -8 hit, all of this would be reset when activating the Free Hit, and your team would return to exactly how it was before ANY of your transfers were made. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the clear explanation of how this works. I'll be saving mine for the FA Cup 5th round stage, when cup games properly interfere with the schedule. It was always annoying to only be able to field half a team, but with this I can correct it for just the one week instead of blowing my wildcard.
1) Select the players you want to remove and hit 'Next Step'. 2) Select the players you want to bring in and hit 'Next Step'. 3) Before clicking 'Confirm', click the the little box that says 'Play Free Hit'. Once the free hit chip is confirmed, there's no going back. Also, it can only be used once. (y)
Yulan Ari Hi Yulan. If you use the Free Hit chip in an official double gameweek (where teams have more than 1 fixture within an FPL gameweek), then yes. Some of the players you use will play twice. Making the free hit more effective. For example gameweek 22 where Spurs and West Ham have 2 games in one gameweek. Hope this helps.
I don't believe so bud. No free transfers will carry over after using the free hit. It'll be back to 1 free transfer the following week. Will comment here again after next weekend's deadline to confirm.
Guys what do you think Fraser or Brooks? And if Brooks, why? My GW30 Team: (GK) EDERSON (DEF) ARNOLD - ROBERTSON - PERREIRA (MID) MANE - MADDISON - POGBA - SON (ATK) VARDY - ARNAUTOVIĆ - AGUERO (C)
Thank you bud. You actually used your Free Hit in GW23, but from what I can see, you only made a few changes to your team including bringing in Arnautovic and Kane. Perhaps you played it by mistake? Your team then changed back to how it was for GW24, which is why you have Lukaku instead of Kane again. Hope this makes sense!
They should have an unlimited budget game week . That would be insane !
Yes it would!
Exactly !!!! thats what I thought free hit was before I found out about this !!!
Ya but then most of the teams would be same no!!
Personally it would ruin the guys who meticulously watch each game .. like there would be one person who would be 100 points behind and could catch up without any tact at all.
The triple captain kinda helps out the people who use it at the right time but unlimited budget would be as you said Insane
yes
The disclaimers... ohhhhhhh, the disclaimers
Thanks! I was feeling really sceptical to press the make transfer button. XD
I swear this don't work in 2019
Hi mate
this video was a blessing, thankyou
hey man, I have got 2 transfers this week, and if i 1st transfer 2 players of my team, then confrim without using free hit, once this transfer is done & now before the start of coming GW18 if i use Free hit and do 5 changes, will i have my team with those 5 original players returning to team or the 7, in GW19
?
Is there a recommended time to use the free hit chip? (I.e double game weeks)
Hey, thanks for the informative video, what about price changes? Will your original team be affected?
Hey Andrew. All price changes will still affect your original team.
cant we go for big 11 player and 4 less cost so can ave more
If I use 1 FT, thatone which get always for a new GW (before for example GW30) and after that I activate Free Hit (also before GW30). Will remain that 1 transfer for next GW, which i confirmed before activate Free Hit or it will disappear??
Please for response, it's urgent situation! :D
I have the same question ?
So you don’t lose any team value? Also, if I have 1 free transfer stored and then I free hit, will I have 2 the next week?
Hi Aidey. You won't have 2 free transfers stored after using the Free Hit, it will always go back to just 1.
Im playing this game for a couple years and still have some doubts... RIP ;(
If I make 1 FT, thatone which get always for a new GW (before for example GW30) and after that I activate Free Hit (also before GW30). Will remain that 1 transfer for next GW, which i confirmed before activate Free Hit or it will disappear??

Im just remember this Chip is apear for a 2nd year... There were some attacking Chip before... :)
It could be play only once or what in the season?
A Free Hit can be taken once per season and allows for unlimited transfers in a single Gameweek. Managers can replace their entire squad for that Gameweek but their 15-man line-up is returned to how it was at the start of the Gameweek for the next deadline
if i use 2 free transfer before use free hit chip in the same gameweek. will the 2 free transfers disappear?
Did you get the answer for this question anywhere else?
@@n8thegoat yes, 2 free transfer is gone.
@@TegarIrsyad OK! thanks.
One question bro ..The question is i had done two transfer and its -4 then i did free hit .. then will my score get deducted by -4 or it wont ...
Hiya mate, if you used the free hit it will cancel your -4. It will also cancel the transfers you initially made. So your team next week will go back to how it was before the -4 transfers were made.
isn’t this the same as wildcard then? please correct me if i’m wrong because i’m confused
Wildcard your team stays the same after the wildcard whereas the free hit is a one off
if iuse free hit, i still have acces to my wild card?
Yeah but dont used them at the same time
U can use only one chip per GW.
You could free up some fund's by replacing chicharito,
I see firmino as a backup option and not a go-to striker,
David Silva a great replacement for Pogba,
A. Carroll a great replacement for richarlison,
Fabregas a great pick
Still checking on this in 2020 to be sure how LOL
Can you make a normal transfer in the GW and then make activate your free hit or are you only allowed to free hit in that GW ?
If you make a transfer, and then activate the free hit after - the transfer you initially made won’t count. The following gameweek your team will back to how it was before any transfers were made.
Garcia Steven Thomas Angela Rodriguez Scott
UPDATE: If an FPL manager uses the FREE HIT chip before the Gameweek deadline, this will override the transfers you've already made.

FPL TV please reply! hahaha.. we are in dire need of points.
Hey! I took accidentally -36 point hits... I was meaning to play the free hit but I hit the wrong button. Based on your update claim, no points will be negated and I get to restore my original team, is that right? This will cause me headaches, please respond.
Somebody answer theese awesome questions please
@@trrrmac The free hit did negate all those hit points after its activation.
I have one free transfer for the upcoming gameweek. I plan to use the free hit but next week what happens for my free transfers? Will have two free transfer or only one ? Thanks for the video.
After using your Free Hit, only 1 free transfer will be given the following gameweek mate.
When does my team revert back ? I used my free hit
How do I use my triple captain and wildcard
Can I use my wildcard or free hit after I’ve mistakenly removed players? So I don’t lose any points?
Lmao is that intro actually serious? Fuckin hell
Very helpful. 30 mins to go in deadline and I was freaking out
Can the Free Hit be used on game week 38
Hi Michael. Yes it can.
i don’t get it. let say this week i used free hit chip and make some transfer, then next week my player will reset and be like before ?
Exactly. You can change your team as much as you like for one gameweek, then it resets to the original team you had before using the free hit.
Hey, i used free hit and make a captain and vice-captain in order to get points only for one match but i couldn't change it , why? And i couldn't make substitution also or my bench player will also earn points in free hit method or what is the case? Please tell me.

Will Bench player points also added?? using free hit
Magesh M No it won't, not with the free hit.
Only with Bench Boost
How do I use it on phone
On the app, head to transfers and select the players you wish to change. Once you've decided, hit 'next step' and you'll see a 'Play Free Hit' box which you can tick.
Fpl should allow 4 players from your favourite club
I'm a "newb" to the game. I used the free hit and I was very disappointed. My team switched back before the match day was even finished. I thought that surely this would last for one match week.

I haven't used it yet! Does using mean unlimited money too for a single game week??
Do I replace or remove
I used it gw7 by mistake am I in big trouble
Trying to bring in Salah and Arnautovic for this weeks two free transfers, but then my bank is -1.2 in debt. I've heard you can take a 4 point hit for this but can't seem to find the option to complete the transfer and take the hit, any help?
John Conaty that's not how its work. -4 didnt do nothing to your money balance, you must not have negative balance for the transfer button to be appear.
Great video😊
Will your transfer roll over? E.g. if I have 1 transfer in gw17. Free hit in gw18. Will I get 2 free transfers in gw19?
No mate - You will always have 1 free transfer after the free hit, regardless if you had 2 saved up.
I dont understand
does the money remaining stays or goes to zero?
Hi, if I use wildcard, will my 100m max limit still apply? Ie can I make a whole new squad without I have to worry about the $ as in usual transfer.... pls confir
Hi Manan, whether you use the 'Wildcard' or the 'Free Hit' your transfer budget will still always apply.
I was taken by surprise when i discovered gameweek deadline was tonight 6.45pm. Is there no way i can use free hit for the games tommorrow. Does the free hit have to be activated before the deadline.

Yes it would.
i have one question...after i choose a player let say 4 players and i select free hit chips..is there a point deduction happen?
If you activate your free hit, all the previous point deductions you made during that week will be erased.
hello i am just a begginer. is the free hit only for the points column or can it be applied for the budget?
Hey Marvin, not quite sure what you mean here. The Free Hit allows you to make unlimited transfers to your team for one gameweek only, all within the budget you have. All the transfers you make using the Free Hit with have reduction on your points. Hope this helps.
Do we get one free per season? or do we get a new free hit after 30th dec just like the wild card?

Is it a one time thing?
Yes.

So do you reckon using it for tough games like chelsea v city or games when big teams are playing weak teams so rhe players can do better?
If I play free hit can I then use Triple Captain also? I know in previous years you could only use one of the options at a time...
Hey Tommy, unfortunately you can only use one chip per gameweek. So you can't use your Free Hit and Triple Captain at the same time. Hope this helps.
Thanks 👍
Will there be any budget issue?

I wish you mentioned I couldn't double it up with bench boost
Sorry for this Phillip. I know it's a little late for you now, but in FPL, you can't use ANY of the chips together in a single gameweek. I made this same mistake a few years back and learned the hard way!

Ffs i just used it and thought my team stayed like that
Wdym
So I should activate free hit before I make any transfers, not after?
Correct. But you do it when you are making the transfers. Before confirming your transfers it will ask you if you want to play the free hit or not.
FPL TV ok thanks 👊
No problem. Once activated you can continue making as many transfers as you like before the next gameweek deadline.
nice

Do u lose points when u do this
If you confirm to use the 'Free Hit', then no you won't lose points.
It's now saying I'll lose 12 points am i doing anything wrong plz advise
Are you using the mobile app or desktop website?

1) Select the players you want to remove and hit 'Next Step'.
2) Select the players you want to bring in and hit 'Next Step'.
3) Before clicking 'Confirm', click the the little box that says 'Play Free Hit'.

Do I get another trip captain in January
Let's say I have 1 free transfer and I use the free hit chip, after the GW would I still receive my 2nd free transfer?
I don't believe so bud. No free transfers will carry over after using the free hit. It'll be back to 1 free transfer the following week.
Will comment here again after next weekend's deadline to confirm.
Thanks for the quick reply and update :)
I believe using the free hit chip or wildcard is classed as making 1 transfer so when the next GW comes round you'll have 1 (new) transfer available
