While we’re twiddling our thumbs and waiting for the FPL site to refresh, you can enter an exclusive free Fantasy contest for readers of this site in Gameweek 28.

The FFS Freeroll tournament takes place over this weekend, with the deadline at 15:00 GMT on Saturday, and there are 20x ‘Gameweek 29 – Weekly Monster’ tickets up for grabs as prizes.

In case you’re confused by terms like ‘Weekly Monster’ or ‘Freeroll’, don’t be: all you really need to know is that you get the chance to enter a ‘Free Hit’ squad for nine upcoming Gameweek 28 matches and win the chance to compete for some big money in Gameweek 29 – all for free!



HOW TO ENTER

PRIZES

  •  1st to 10th = free €20/£17 ticket to next week’s Weekly Monster
  • 11th to 20th = free €2/£1.70 ticket to next week’s Weekly Monster

FIXTURES

HOW TO PLAY: A BRIEF GUIDE

Slightly different from the usual squad-based games, FanTeam managers are given a budget of £107m to build a team of 11 players that includes at least one goalkeeper, three defenders, two midfielders and one forward.

There are no substitutes but if a player in your team isn’t in the starting XI for their side, the ‘Safety Net’ feature will automatically be enabled – replacing that player with the next priced player from the same position and club.

Captains score double, as normal.

HOW DOES THE SCORING WORK?

FPL managers looking for a way to make their knowledge pay will have no trouble picking up this event, with its familiar scoring system.

Think of it as FPL without the bonus points, with a few other exceptions such as win/lose points and rewards for shots on target – these are detailed in the graphic below:

    Turns out everyone i know wildcarded.. and im sat here with a minus 4 hit lol. Anyone else have FOMO this weekend?

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Plenty of time for me to FOMO in future with only BB left

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      not really

    3. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Nah, couldn’t see many good routes from WC28 through blank gameweek 30, so just took a -4

      I can field 7 in 30 as it stands but still looking forward to FH30 instead.

      1. jay01
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        I think thats what it is.. i know i have chips in hand now its damage limitation for now

        1. One More Hit
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 days ago

          Chance to make up ground in GW3*.

          I still think being able to FH in 33 could be huge. Appreciate some WC27 have been done with Wolves in mind for 30, but three weeks is a long time in FPL

          1. jay01
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 2 days ago

            Same! Admittedly i have 8 players doubling plus Mo Trent and Salah this week anyway so im hoping damage to FH teams isnt bad. Got a decent team for 30 too so i hope to use my FH, WC and BB later

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Nah. I have James (c) so I'm excited.

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        This.

      2. jay01
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        As a chelsea fan this will be a conflicting weekend lol

    5. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      I took a -8 despite having WC and both FHs left.

    6. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      I did -12 to allay FOMO

  2. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Brought in Jorginho on a BB. Feel dirty.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Good luck! I was tempted this week but was worried about rotation with Chelsea having most of their midfield (maybe all?) fit, especially with him benched in the final last week

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        Yeah seems out of favour. Wouldn’t mind him coming on for a jammy pen or two in the dying minutes 🙂

  3. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Enough of the usual suspects. Who is your differential this week?

    Mine is Ait-Nouri and Woooood

    1. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      James

      1. Dammit_182
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        Dan James? Could do well!!

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Pukki I suppose

    3. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      I fancy some Wood this GW.

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Salah C

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        🙂

    5. Hairy Potter

        4 years, 2 days ago

        James and Mendy.

    6. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Vardy, Thiago,

      1. Red Red Robins
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        Both great shouts there

        1. g40steve
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 days ago

          Cheers

    7. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      ummm... I guess Saiss, White, Ramsey, Ward Prowse(c), Dennis, Watkins. No potential for mega hauls in them unfortunately.

    8. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Weghorst

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        😮

    9. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      James and or JWP. Once the game updates, expecting to see my entire mini league with Rudiger

    10. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      JWP

    11. Red Red Robins
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Salah C by the comments im reading - my alternative was Jimi but couldnt do it

    12. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Lukaku!

    13. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Martinelli (1% EO). Also have Ait Nouri

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        Oh and Havertz

    14. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Sir King Willock

    15. teneighty
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Fraser!

    16. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Jorginho and Alonso

    17. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Digne is my lowest owned player!

  4. EffPeeEll
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Grief James and Boohootino this week's chumps?

  5. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Anyone tempted by Diaz for DGW29?

    1. EffPeeEll
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      not a bad shout.
      Jota will start against Inter

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Jota is a better Fpl player. Right now, Jota and Firmino is the strikers, Mane and Diaz left wing while Salah is right. Firmino is out, so Jota.

      1. One More Hit
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        Jota has blown hot and cold all season, and seems a lot of people have got rid over the last few weeks, so it’s less of a risk IMO

  6. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Game still updating! 😮

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Lots of chips in play

    2. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Hopefully adding free WC, FH & TC chips

  7. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Was my Lukaku captain pick inspirational or idiotic?

    Just having fun picking off doubles until I wild card.

    1. Red Red Robins
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Could work out, i mean he is due mate haha

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        He scored at Luton, back in rhythm?!

        1. Red Red Robins
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 days ago

          haha i really fancy him to come good tbh

    2. Neevesy
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      I was so tempted, but went with Havertz captain.

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      With EO likely to be spread out, any player as captain is fine

  8. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    -16pt hit that included bring Willock in.

    Think I might have finally flipped 😛

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Ja fooli!

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Just like Leeds

    3. Neevesy
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Lol

    4. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      That’s why I decided to WC Jaf. Wanted too many

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        No chips left, spent them all 😎

    5. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Same, but couldn’t stretch to Willock.

      Pope > Sa
      Tarkowski > James
      Weghorst > Jimenez
      Cancelo > Rudiger
      Bowen > Jorginho

      Last two feel wrong but allows me to do Mahrez to Son next week. That was until Mahrez dropped last night. You have to laugh!

  9. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Game has updated naaii 😎

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Not properly

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        If you hit refresh again it does

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        Yeah, just got to go past your cache

  10. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    EO time

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Demi time…

      1. beric
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        Those were the days

    2. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Is it not false seeing as Salah has been most popular C past five weeks & must be all the dead teams?

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        Loads of people have captained Coutinho in my mini leagues.

  11. ZimZalabim
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    updated

  12. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    New chips added…..

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      ….to my plate….greedy guts 😛

  13. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    My team looks so, so good for next GW. 😀

  14. Cojones of Destiny
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    had a dream last night Lei winning 7:0 :))

  15. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Game back up but still showing GW27 deadline. Anyone want to risk making a change? 🙂

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      It's just the cache on your browser.

  16. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Seems I wasn't the only crazy one.

    My work ML has 1st, 2nd and 4th (me) all captaining James!!

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Best option by far, gutted I don't have him
      Can very easily be a 30+ point captain!

    2. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      No Chelsea defender cappers in my two main ML! Salah, Coutinho, Raph and Sa are the picks they've gone with. Could be a massive week for me with James (C) and Silva.

  17. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    A. Ramsey (whu)
    or
    B. Gordon (WOL NEW)

    1. beric
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Let's see how this week plays out first shall we

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        True

  18. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Top 10k EO’s
    Salah 112.5%
    Raphinha 92.5%
    Trent 78.5%
    Rüdiger 76.1%
    Broja 71.9%
    Reece James 66.9%
    Coutinho 55.2%
    Jimenez 54.2%
    Jacob Ramsey 40.9%
    Son 39.7%

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      another week where salah points will drop rank

      What a time to be alive

      1. beric
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        Only slightly though, rejoice!

      2. Buck The Trent
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        Only 1.2 impact for every 10 pts

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Except Salah, every points matters! Lets go...

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      I almost regret having captained Salah over Raphinha

    4. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Selling Raphina on my first WC has been highly irritating this season

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        Haven't you had an opportunity to address that?

      2. WVA
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        Could have for a hit but they never pay off for me

  19. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Rival of mine has Mount(TC) this week, surprised but he's a Chelsea fan so I can understand it

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      I think mount is very likely to be benched today

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        That would be quite funny.

      2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        It's definitely risky, he's far from nailed and it sounded like he missed a hatful of chances v Liverpool so I doubt that's helped his case

  20. DALEDOBACK
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Willock Captain lets go!

    1. Dammit_182
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Nice. Got Dubravka, willock & wood. Not sure I’ve ever had Triple Newcastle. Ever

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      I was v tempted but the Southampton fixture followed by Chelsea put me off.

  21. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    FPL GOAT Fabio Borges played his WC, James (c)

    Dubravka
    James TAA Kilman Coady
    Salah Son Raphinha
    Lacazette Broja Wood
    Schmeichel Saka White Bowen

    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/380968/event/28

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Cheers.

      He's obviously set up for future weeks too, he does consistently make the right calls.

      Is Schmeichel to play a dgw BB?

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Thx. Couldn't decide between him and Raph, so I chose Salah.

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      I have 9/11 his starters 🙂

    4. beric
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      I have 2 of his starters lol

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        Trent and Salah?

    5. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      I have 10 of those and have tried to set up similarly I’d say with an eye on future weeks.

      Laca and Wood surprise picks but watch them roll the goals in.

  22. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    The thing with Coutinho as captain, Southampton are a strong team and Villa v Leeds could be close.

    I reckon Southampton can keep Villa to say 1-2 to Saints and perhaps 2-2 at Elland Road.

    So in my mind it's on the away game.

  23. Dammit_182
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Everton now have 4 matches to re-schedule!?!?!

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      yes

    2. Mighty Banana
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      What have I missed? Spurs v Eve is off?

      1. Dammit_182
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        No, was just looking at bringing in Keane for next week and their 30/33 blanks mean they have 4 to reschedule. Just was not expecting to see that!

  24. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    James is the differential in my ML. Everyone has gone with Rudiger

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      No way!

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Possibly. Well, actually yes if that is correct.

      1. Dammit_182
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        In fairness I did pick him and so far when I pick a ‘double’ GW player they don’t end up playing twice.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Maybe they all just hate each other ??

      Ooof, to be fair Lage did sound a bit happy with Silva's movement against West Ham he just bemoaned a lack of shots on goal overall from the team. I know a lot said Jimenez was quite poor in his last few games

        Was poor for a while and Wolves fans were calling for him to be dropped

    Good luck everyone. See you on the other side hopefully with a nice fat green arrow

    Only got 1 of the top 6 highest EO players. Salah. And that too as non cap

    This will either end very well or very bad

      Just 3 out of top 10 for me. Need Chelsea to concede in both games.

      1. AC/DC AFC

        That would be gold.

        I can definitely see Burnley scoring, not sure about Norwich.

        I'm guessing most are looking for attacking returns with Chelsea defenders too.

    Salah is a huge differential capt in my ml, come on mo, punish those doubters.

    On flip side raphina is a massive risk to me, one of the largest in a long time!

      Exactly the same here, you are screwed, Raph will haul big

    Captaincy in the top10k.Really interesting!

    RÜDIGER 21.48%
    RAPHINHA 18.88%
    JAMES 18.72%
    SALAH 14.83%
    COUTINHO 12.71%

      Double game week fever could blast me into the top 10k if Salah hauls

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        With all your bad luck how are you closing in on the top 10k?

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 2 days ago

          Slight exaggeration to be fair, it would definitely get me inside top 50k though.

      Rightly so if correct
