FPL Gameweek 2 Best Free Hit Team
FPL Gameweek 2 Best Free Hit Team is already a hot topic as managers look to maximise points early in the season. With new form guides, fixture swings, and standout players emerging from Gameweek 1, a Free Hit could be the perfect way to take advantage.
In this article, we’ll reveal the best Free Hit draft for GW2, highlight the key players to target, and explain why they make the cut.
In between the sticks is Robert Sanchez. Chelsea continued their good defensive form from the Club World Cup with their Gameweek 1 clean sheet. This week they face West Ham who failed to score against newly promoted Sunderland.
In the unlikely event Sanchez doesn’t play, Burnley’ Martin Dubravka can step in. He also helps to enable funds elsewhere.
Arsenal ranked second best for clean sheets last season, and kept one in Gameweek 1 against Manchester United. This week they play Leeds, so centre-back Gabriel is a shoo-in. The Brazilian also has goal threat from set-plays.
Aston Villa’ Lucas Digne and Nottingham Forest’ Murillo make the cut. The former could offer multiple routes to points this week via is distribution. Meanwhile, the latter produced more defcons than any other defender last season.
On the bench is Brighton’s Maxim De Cuyper who scored in pre-season. Joining him is Burnley centre-back Maxime Esteve. He helps enables budget in other areas. Both players also have solid potential this week.

The exclusion of Mohamed Salah who has a tough match on paper this week, means we can target easy fixtures with good assets. One of those is Arsenal man Bukayo Saka who could punish a newly promoted Leeds backline.
Cole Palmer is another player who has bags of potential this week. Not only did West Ham rank among the worst sides in the league for several defensive metrics last season, they also shipped three goals to Sunderland in Gameweek 1.
Aston Villa’ Morgan Rogers could take advantage of Brentford’ defensive shortcomings this week. Meanwhile, Antoine Semenyo’ brace against Liverpool in Gameweek 1 is enough to earn him a place in the starting XI against Wolves.
Manchester United were very good against Arsenal, albeit short of a win. This week they come up against Fulham. Penalty taker and defcon producer Bruno Fernandes stands out as another great midfield option.
Up front, doubling up on the Aston Villa and Arsenal attack with Ollie Watkins and Viktor Gyokeres respectively could hold great reward. Although short of returns in the opening round, both have fantastic fixtures to attack this week.
Sunderland striker Marc Guiu sits on the bench. Unlikely to feature for us, the Chelsea loanee helps push money into other positions.
