The best attacking players to sign with the Free Hit chip in Blank Gameweek 33

475 Comments
Share

Having previously looked at the optimum Free Hit squad for Blank Gameweek 31 and Double Gameweek 32, we revisit this feature ahead of Blank Gameweek 33.

This isn’t just an article for those using their Free Hit chip, of course, and the data we analyse below will hopefully provide some assistance to those who are either deploying their second Wildcard or navigating the blank fixtures using normal transfers.

The tight turnaround between Gameweeks 32 and 33 means that we will be grouping Fantasy midfielders and forwards together in our search for appealing attacking assets.

Our piece on defenders and goalkeepers was published earlier today.

Fantasy Football Scout subscribers can read on for this latest analysis, which draws heavily on data from the Members’ Area.

Now that we are past the halfway stage of the season, memberships are available for just £10 and can be acquired by signing up HERE.

      I have a feeling A might backfire. Fabianski at least gets save points and I wouldn't be surprised if he got more than 2 points one way or another.

      How confident are you of Higuain starting? I personally have Lacazette and would also recommend Aubameyang, but Chambers to Kolasinac is also a good move, and great for long term too of course.

    B) Laca (eve) and keep for the DGW.

      I regarded him as a "fantasy trap". After his first few games as a Leicester player, I remember reading an article (here on FFS) in which he mentioned how he has more freedom now, compared to his role in Monaco/Belgian national team (a bit too deep). Looking really good so far.

      I would look at it as a 4 point hit. If you played Aguero and Ashford you'd be guaranteed 0. Vardy and Laca, as long as they play, will get 4 points between them. So really you're only looking at a 4 point hit effectively?

      They are good moves for this week - WC'ign next week?

    Guys what do you think on Ake as 1 week punt? or Digne, Kola and Chilwell are better options?

    Need to do one of the following to fund a move for Hazard

    1. Fab to Begovic, and start him
    2. Rice to Lejeune, and start either him or AWB
