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.

    Good evening all
    I am 0.2 from affording Hazard for free, should I downgrade Heaton to get him for a -4? Would be Anderson > Haz & Heaton to Guita.
    Don't really fancy any other mids and left with too much ITB otherwise!

    Heaton,
    Luiz, Robbo, AWB
    Salah, Mane, Maddison, Anderson, Fraser

    I know its a very negative or pragmatic strategy but I did Salah to Mane just to “block” my opponet who got close to me in the ranking in last month...mostly because he had Mane and me Salah in this period.

      Concentrate on your own game, I very nearly lost my ML last year due to blocking 2nd and 3rd, ignored 4th and he finished only a couple of points behind me making up over 100 points on me in 3-4 gw's

        To be fair I also believe Mane is just in better form. In fact I probably should have made the change weeks ago 🙂

    After a bit of advice fellas ...

    No WC or FH left so looking to get players in for DGW 35. I'd go for max of -12 in hits if they looked worth the risk which should get me to 9 double players with FT too. If I'm taking hits for that week it might be worth doing some early to get benefit in the meantime. I have 11 players this week plus Bednarek first sub but one of those is Fanderson who has been stinking out my team for ages. I was going to get him out but also have Higuain who looks to be dropped sort of, so:

    A - Fanderson to Ramsey
    B - Higuain to Laca
    C - Both -4
    D - Somet else

          Thx. I'm leaning towards doing C if news on Ramsey being fit. I could afford a 9.1 mil mid instead of Ramsey if I want to leave enough dosh to get Aguero in too. Not many decent mid options that have game this week and double 35.

              Maybe your right. But for me a great captain choice and Europa doesn’t put me off one bit. Hudson-Odoi, Pedro and William look primed for a battle for Europa’s two wide spots.
