    So for this GW, I had saved 2 transfers.

    So I did Pedro for Richarlision and Dummet for Lindelöf. Nothing major, i know.
    Today when i'm reviewing my team, i see a little highlighted button saying: Free Hit Active.

    I can't seem to unselect it or anything, It have never been my intention on playing it since I'm very happy with my team. (overrall rank: 37k)

    Has this happend to anyone else? Can't seem to figure out how I played this chip without knowing it. I Just the Iphone app. (played this game for 6 years now.)

    There is no way I can cancel this? Or I just have to make the best of it?

      Try the transfers page. You might need to make a transfer to deselect the free hit but I always assumed it was possible.

      Have you checked the "rules"?
