FPL Reveal Free Hit Chip

In addition to the recent raft of player price reveals, earlier today Fantasy Premier League announced that they have introduced a new chip ahead of this week’s launch.

While the two wildcards, Triple Captain and Bench Boost chips remain intact, All Out Attack has belatedly been given the elbow, replaced by a brand new “Free Hit” chip.

Essentially, the Free Hit can be used once in a season and allows you to make unlimited changes to your entire 15-man squad for a single Gameweek.

Once the deadline for that Gameweek has passed, though, you squad immediately reverts to the previous line-up.

It’s important to note that you cannot use this chip to play the market to your advantage.

Any value gained/lost by those players drafted in as temporary new additions will not effect your squad.

This only applies to new players acquired on the Free Hit chip.

Ie, if you already have Alexis Sanchez in your original squad and choose to keep him on your Free Hit Chip, then his price would still be subject to fluctuation.

So if you have any players plummeting in value in your original squad, playing the Free Hit chip won’t stop their price drops from being taken off your budget.

Of course, if you choose to use transfers or the Wildcard instead, you’d avoid those drops in cost and earn the appropriate value from any rises.

Arguably, then, the Free Hit chip could be used to help temporarily trade out injured and/or banned players that you ultimately want to retain. If they’re seen as expendable, a transfer out is perhaps the best solution.

Like the second Wildcard, Triple Captain and Bench Boost chips, the Free Hit chip could be used when planning for Double Gameweeks in order to maximise the number of players with two fixtures.

A specific example of this would be Double Gameweek 27 last year, where Stoke City and Manchester City were the only teams to play twice.

Despite knowing that both sides blanked in Gameweek 28, many managers took points hits to bring in the likes of Sergio Aguero and also played their Triple Captain chip on the Argentine.

The Free Hit chip would have allowed us to temporarily acquire City and Stoke assets without the need to tear apart our teams, while also navigating the upcoming blank more efficiently.

However, it could also be used as a reactionary chip.

Although this may be a helpful tool as a quick fix when your squad is hit by injury and suspension, it could ultimately come in handier when utilised on those Gameweeks hit hard by FA Cup postponements.

We witnessed this last season in the afore-mentioned Gameweek 28, where only four fixtures went ahead.

Bournemouth’s Josh King was the star turn that day, serving up a season-high 18-point return at home to West Ham.

The Norwegian had bagged four goals in as many matches prior to that fixture but, with many managers choosing to be prudent with their points hits, he was drafted in by just over 141,000 for Gameweek 28 and selected by only 252,000+.

With the option of a Free Hit chip, King would surely have been a major player in far more squads for a Gameweek that also saw the likes of Everton and Liverpool participate.

As this comment from Lateriser in this morning’s Hot Topic also pointed out, though, the Free Hit Chip could also help take advantage of big fixture swings and help you load up on sides with very appealing fixtures.

In that respect, it could be viewed as more subjective and dependent on the players you hold and state of your squad in any given Gameweek.

Certainly, when assessed against the merits of the All Out Attack chip, the new Free Hit chip looks a far more useful addition and one that should afford a greater degree of tactical variety from FPL managers over the course of 2017/18.

    Maybe the scoring will be different and midfielders will only get 3 points for a goal...

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years

      Unlikely

    The image of the girl using the Abacus on the FPL twitter account gives away the time and date of the season launch!

    It's so obvious!

      Stealing Syd's joke from the other day? Not cool.

    So tomorrow morning for the launch looks likely now?

    1. Respect My Authoritah

      Well..3pm forward poll. 4.30pm price reveal. 5pm launch?

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Hmmm.

        Any idea when the last time they released the game this late in the day?

        Seems pretty unlikely

        1. El Tel

          2012 was 5pm I think

    Wasn't game suppose to be out today? Or does the commencing means someday before the week ends? :O

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm

      I think you're overthinking it

    2. PvA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Commencing means multiple pointless polls, designed to tease and prolong a release

      Don't take my word for it though

        It's called advertising

      It was meant to launch yesterday.
      Obviously they lost the rubber band that powers the 486 based PC they run it on.

      1. Point-one short

        The turbo button is broken and they're waiting for a new one to arrive.

    4. FrankieTheGent
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Week commencing the 10th means the game will start during the week which started on the 10th

    To repeat,

    Sanchez, Firmino, Sterling all forwards

      Sterling really ?!?!

    2. Fantasy Gold

        Calling me a liar? I'm not some kiddy troll. Look at the FPL website

        1. Sjaugen

          PL!!! site, not Fpl

          You are not a liar you are a fake news distributor. Classification on premier league website is different than in-game.

        3. nobwak
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          The same one that lists Salah as a forward too? Or a different one?

        4. The Tinkerman
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          It's not the FPL website, it's the Premier League. See below, those aren't the correct positions for FPL.

        5. DoobNoob

          Calm down mate

        6. Andrew

          awkward

    3. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      To repeat,

      That page does not have the correct positions for FPL. Salah is listed as a forward for a start, and we know he is a mid in FPL.

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        This

    4. CostaCoffee
      • 10 Years

      They were listed as forwards on PL site last year, different to fpl

      Sterling 😆 clueless

    How's this looking ...

    4.5. 4.5
    Alonso 6.5. Trippier 5.5. 4.5. 4.5. 4.0
    Coutinho 9. Ozil 8.5. Alli 9.5. 5.5. 4.5
    Lukaku 11.5. Jesus 10.5. 7.0.

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm

      Numeric

    2. Deulofail

      Haha you might be a little over budget there

      1. zotter
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Adds up to 100

        1. zotter
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Ha no it doesn't

          1. zotter
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Yes it does

        2. Deulofail
          • 8 Years

          Missing the point. You don't know the prices yet. Or do you?

          1. zotter
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Lukaku ozil jesus maybe. Can downgrade the 7.0 to balance.

            1. Deulofail
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              Alonso Trippier could be more

    3. Tcheco
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      7.0 is a rotation risk

    4. HuttonDressedasLahm

      4.5is injured I think

      1. zotter
        • 14 Years

        He has a late fitness test. Should be ok

        1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
          • 7 Years

          Ozil will come in at 9m/9.5m

  8. Horizontal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    6 years, 8 months ago

    I'm confused regarding the impact of price changes when using this chip:
    "However, price changes applied to their previous line-up will take effect on their return once the chip expires."
    But think of a scenario: I have 0.0 in the bank but have 4 players whose price has already risen by 0.5 each.... now I activate the chip and they're removed from my team for one GW.
    After the GW is over to get the previous squad back with their increased prices do I have to pay more when I have nothing in bank or will I have to take hits to get them back in?

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I "assume"your team runs in the background getting rises and falls etc

      1. Horizontal
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        OK, but in the scenario above then I'd lose the value I'd gained since I bought them, yes?

      2. ponsio22
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah your team will run completely normal by all accounts. Best thing to do is - activate the chip Saturday morning and by then end of the gameweek you will be back to normal. Which also allows you to make transfers to your original team the week leading up to the chip being activated.

        1. Horizontal
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          If that's the case then fine, although it's not very clear to me whether some people will find themselves in the position outlined in my scenario.
          I think that we'll only know for sure when the new season begins and someone uses it, unless FPL Towers spell it out when they update the rules.

          1. ponsio22
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            My guess is that if for example - you have Kane and his price has risen by 0.5 while you have used your chip, then when the chip has finished you have kane with the price increase. I can't imagine you would have to then pay his price rise....that would be ridiculous. Imagine if 5 of your players had price rises!

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years

      It is very confusing - encouraging casuals by adding more chips, and then making them stupidly complicated. Good work guys!

    striker poll next, may see someone like alexis/firmino in this poll

      I really want to see Lukakus price

    2. Andy_Social

      I'd expect that, yes

    3. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years

      Gray, Depoitre, Enner Valencia, Welbeck incoming

  10. FrankieTheGent
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Fake news advice.
    Try to distinguish between REALITY and FANTASY (this is the reason nobody picked the Premier League player of the year on this site):

    This (PL) ..... https://www.premierleague.com/players?se=79&cl=-1
    Is NOT this (FPL) .....https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/statistics/total_points

    Sanchez and Firmino might not have been re-designated.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Don't you think Official FPL would follow the PL lead?

      1. FrankieTheGent
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I'd suggest they may have had this designation last year.

        1. FrankieTheGent
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          So there might not be a "lead" to follow.

      2. nobwak
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        No, because they've already proven that they don't.. by classifying Salah as a midfielder.

      3. Zogzeg
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Salah proves the answer to that is "No"

      4. Andrew
        • 12 Years

        Alexis was a forward last year on PL but not on FPL

    All the tweaks that could of been done to improve the game and we get this nonsense and a draft game.

    Sky looks the better game all round now imo. Less players, better layout than last year and a mac version.

  14. GertJan

    Some people are surprised that Salah and Coutinho are equally priced, but it would make sense if Mo Salah is listed as a forward. 😉

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years

      You could change one thing before game week end, i.e. Captain, sub etc

  16. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 9 Years

    Sanchez and firmino listed as forwards on premier league site. Happened to king amd his position was changed...

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years

      I think sanchez has always been a forward on the site?

    2. Deulofail

      Sound logic

      1. Deulofail

        Sorry not clear this was heavily sarcastic

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm

      But not to Salah

      Your point is?

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Sanchez amd firmino will be forwards

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Firmino might be, Sanchez won't

    4. Yome
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Sanchez started as a lone striker last season before moving back to midfield. I am not sure how FPL would justify classifying him as a striker.
      King was playing number 10 so why he is changed to striker?

  17. Going Home
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    what's the situation with transfers when you play your free hit? Can you make a permanent transfer but not play him (e.g. player going up in value but you don't like his fixture that week)? If you don't make a permanent transfer, does it carry into the following week?

    Cheers

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Interesting. I guess you could do a transfer, then play chip?

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      It's ridiculous - the mentality of FPL bringing this stupidly complicated chip in is baffling.

      1. Going Home
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Sadly, I think I have to agree. I miss my single WC and picking my VC on form...

      2. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah, I think they are taking a huge risk with this chip. Make the game too complicated and tons will stop playing at once.

        1. Pasqualinho
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          I don't think it's that complicated to understand but for the coding of the game I think it's a lot of work for a little tweak for one GW. I hope they've tested it well.

        Referendum on having the vote on the vote?

    2. PvA

      Boycott

      1. Marcin the Pole
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Geoffrey? Not sure he's on FPL.

    3. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Lukaku, Kane, Jesus, Costa

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Can we implement a proportional voting system. Please rank your votes.

    4. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      FPL forward or Premier League "forward"?

    5. nobwak
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Kane, Kaku, Sanchez, Firmino.
      Would like to know the prices for Kane and Kaku the most, but it would also simultaneously confirm Sanchez and Firmino as forwards.

    6. Epic Fail

      Any Polish on here? We can Poles to vote on a poll on what poll they want next.

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie

        A Poles says high

    7. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Jesus, defoe, lukaku, kane

    8. Junior ⚽
      • 8 Years

      At least Sanchez Firmino Alonso 😉

    9. zotter
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Jesus

    10. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Kane, Kaku, Kun and Jesus. I'm hoping Sanchez isn't included as that would means he's been reclassified as a forward.

    11. Ohhh Shola Ameobi
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Kun, Kane, Lukaku, Janssen

  19. PvA
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    The game being released before a potential Walker move away is great

    Means Trippier may be underpriced as he expected to be a 2nd place starter

    Hope all goes well, if so he'll be in most teams

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Underpricing is not good for you

      1. PvA
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        It's more fun on here if we all have the same player

        Everyone supports him in games

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Haha sorry I'll get with the programme

  20. Tcheco
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Sky Sports reporting Everton are interested in Benteke. Interesting.

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      That would never work with Rooney

      1. Tcheco
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Rooney isn't capable of leading the line, can play behind or just sit on the bench where he belongs

        1. HuttonDressedasLahm
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Didn't Koeman say he was playing him in the middle of a front three??

  21. Pop Ooh Yeah ★x8
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    I've always thought Firmino looks like Myleene Klass. I fancy Mylene but not Bobby F. It's all a bit confusing.

    Glad I got that off my chest!

    1. Tcheco
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      haha

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm

      **Imagines Firmino in "that" shower scene 🙁

      1. Pop Ooh Yeah ★x8
        • 13 Years

        Or in a bikini.

    3. Syd.

      Get it all onto Myleene's chest

    4. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah, we'd all like a piece of Myleen, but she can't play as a false 9.

  22. I Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Any chance De Bruyne comes in at 9.5? They can't price him much higher than Alli (9.5) and Coutinho (9.0). Eriksen and Mane will almost certainly be 9.5 or 9.0 as well.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe attacking kids are losing the CS point?

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Interesting.

    3. El Tel
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      This is fast becoming the season for 451 if that's the case

    4. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Eriksen Mane 9.5. KDB 10.0. If any of these are 0.5 less, they are in my team along with 10 other midfielders.

    5. KingNidge
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      A price drop after a 199 point season?

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        It seems strange but how can they keep him at 10.5 when Alli is 9.5 and Coutinho is 9.0?

        1. KingNidge
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Both Alli and Coutinho rose by 1 mil though

          Best we could hope for is KDB staying the same.. he should rise like the other two did

          1. I Member
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            The other two were seriously underpriced last season. KDB wasn't. If he stays the same don't you think he's overpriced in comparison to Alli, Eriksen, Coutinho and Mane?

            1. KingNidge
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              Yeah for sure but a drop of 1 mil cannot be justified after returning 199 points surely?

              1. I Member
                • 8 Years
                6 years, 8 months ago

                I agree. Would happily take him at 10 as my City attacker.

                1. KingNidge
                  • 8 Years
                  6 years, 8 months ago

                  Will be an interesting one for sure.. my guess would be 11

    6. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yep. Hoping he is. Could be 10 still

  23. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Biggest hint that he could have given.

    Waiting to see him holding a city shirt soon.

      A lot.

  25. MattB
    • 10 Years

    Is there much or a chance that Kane will be up to the 14m mark this year? Or more likely to be around 12/13 like aguero?

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      13 or 13.5

    2. Ohhh Shola Ameobi
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I think, if they were still at White Hart Lane, his price would have been above 13. However, due to the potential Wembley effect, he's likely to be a maximum of 13.

      1. Dino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Why would whl have anything to do with it? They can't price him down on the basis not being at whl might have a negative impact on his returns as it might well do the opposite also.

        1. Ohhh Shola Ameobi
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Did you see Spurs play at Wembley in the CL last season?

          I think it's something that they will take into account, even if it is just 0.5.

          1. Dino
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            If fpl tried to predict what sort of form a team was going to have in a season then pricing would be all over the place. I believe they don't take account of this when making pricing judgements.

            1. Ohhh Shola Ameobi
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              Okay, I'll use Fabregas as an example here. His ppm is pretty high, however due to potential rotation, FPL give him a lower price than if he was nailed on.

              FPL don't know that he will definitely be rotated this year, but evidence is there to back that up. They also have evidence to suggest that Kane will not be as prolific at Wembley. It will, in my opinion, be a factor in any price they give him.

  26. Emiliano Sala

    Does fpl polls have a specific time to come ?

    1. El Tel
      • 8 Years

      Random. I predict 3pm next

  27. GoonerByron

    What idiots voted to see Coutinho's price over Ozil's..!

    Cheaper than expected though, hopefully that guarantees Ozil at 9.0 max 🙂

  28. Ramboros

    I don't like the strategic value of the chips. Free hit: Save for a BGW. Bench boost: Save for a DGW. TC: Save for a DGW. WC: Save for the GW before BB.

    Chips are just a trap for first timers.

    I think I know why Optimus hasn't been on today.

    He is looking after the FPL Twitter content.
