Mastering FPL: Gameweek 29 Free Hit Strategy and Review

Gameweek 28: A Strategic Triumph

Last gameweek turned out to be a significant leap forward, finishing on a high note of 81 points, despite a four-point hit, netting a total of 77 points. This remarkable achievement propelled the rank from 49K to an impressive 24K, marking the highest position reached this season. The success was largely attributed to the exceptional performances of single gameweek players, with Son Heung-min leading the charge with a whopping 17 points, courtesy of McIn's red card. Cole Palmer's consistent returns and Bruno Fernandes' strategic selection over Foden, considering match dynamics, also contributed significantly to the score.

The Free Hit Plan for Gameweek 29

The focus now shifts to Gameweek 29, where the strategy involves playing the Free Hit chip. The draft includes a mix of sure starters and high-potential players, with Son Heung-min set as captain for his standout potential. The team composition is almost identical to previous plans, with key players locked in and a few spots still under consideration.

Key Players and Considerations:

• Goalkeepers and Defenders: The dilemma between choosing Arola for popularity versus going for a fixture-based pick like Fleen highlights the strategic depth of FPL planning. Spurs' Porro stands out as a top attacking defender choice, despite concerns over Spurs' defensive form.

• Midfielders and Forwards: Son, Madison, and Jared Bowen form the core, with Tony and Watkins leading the attack. The remaining spots are a mix of potential and strategy, with considerations around double game week players and differential picks.

Strategic Insights for the Final Picks:

• The decision-making for the last few spots might come down to last-minute gut feelings, considering factors like fixture difficulty, player form, and differential potential.

• Notable mentions include Notam Forest players Al Langa and Chris Wood as potential attacking options, with Gibbs White being a safer bet for minutes.

• Defensive picks like Regulon, if fit, offer attacking returns potential, while the debate between Morris and differential options underlines the nuanced strategy of Free Hit planning.

Conclusion

Gameweek 29 presents a unique opportunity to capitalize on strategic insights and differential picks. As the deadline approaches, the final decisions will likely be influenced by a combination of gut feeling and last-minute news, emphasizing the dynamic and exciting nature of FPL strategy.
