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.

    Do we think Higuain will be benched again at the weekend? Thinking of bringing in Wilson for him.

      I like A or D. A is a nice way into Leicester midfield. Arsenal struggle away from home and Ramsey went off with a knock last game. If Newc is scoring goals (at home in a big game, crowd behind them) then Rondon will likely be involved.

    Is it worth it to do Puncheon to Brooks for -4? This is just for one week as I'm using my WC in GW 34.

    If Puncheon plays I'll field 11 players, but if not, I'll only have 10; but I'm not convinced Brooks has much chance of scoring 4 pts on current form.

    If not Brooks, is there any mid 5.6M or less that would be worth it?
