FPL Gameweek 27 Best Free Hit Team

The new Fantasy Premier League continues this week, so in this article we build the FPL Gameweek 27 best free hit team. We use the fantastic PlanFPL website and its brilliant FPL planner tool to build our Free Hit.

Our FPL Gameweek 27 best Free Hit Team can be extremely useful to FPL managers. The Free Hit is one of several chips provided by the game. It allows managers to change their entire squad for one Gameweek only until our original team returns in the following Gameweek.

Gameweek 27 Best Free Hit

Using the PLANFPL website and its fantastic tools, we present the Gameweek 27 best free hit team:

Goalkeepers

Chelsea may be out of sorts currently in regards to form, but they face the worst team in the league up next. Southampton have delivered awful underlying attacking data this season, which could mean clean sheet potential for the cheap Filip Jorgensen (£4.2m).

In the event Jorgensen does not play, West Ham’ Alphonse Areola (£4.2m) could be a good option.

Defence

No player has a better expected goals among defenders than full-back Alex Munoz (£4.9m). Munoz scored in his latest match, and with two clean sheets in his previous three games, has multiple routes to points going into the round ahead.

Arsenal may face Nottingham Forest this week, but they have also produced better underlying defensive data than every other team in the league. Centre-back Gabriel (£6.3m) has also shown huge attacking threat throughout the campaign.

There is a major lack of defenders with clean sheet potential this week, so managers could opt for West Ham’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.4m). He faces a Leicester side who failed to score a single goal in five of their previous six matches.

Options on the bench include Wolves’ attacking full-back Rayan Ait-Nouri (£4.7m) and Fulham full-back Timothy Castagne (£4.2m).

Midfield

Chelsea may be out of form, but leaving out their penalty taker and talisman Cole Palmer (£11.1m) could be foolish. The Blues come up against Southampton this week, who have conceded more goals than any other side this season.

No side has conceded more big chances than Ipswich this season, and after their 4-1 loss against Spurs in Gameweek 26, they appear to be a team to target. One option we could look to is penalty taker and set-play man Bruno Fernandes (£8.3m), who scored in his previous game.

Liverpool continue to dominate both the league and attacking data this season. Their main man and penalty taker Mohamed Salah (£13.7m) has become a shoo-in in every single round his side play in. Even Newcastle ahead may not be able to stop the Egyptian from continuing his form.

Leicester are in torrid defensive form – shipping a huge four goals in two of their previous three league games. To target them we could bring in West Ham main man Jarrod Bowen (£7.3m). Bowen has collected an impressive two double-digit hauls in his last three fixtures.

Another player who can offer explosiveness in FPL is Bryan Mbeumo (£8m). The Brentford penalty taker has hauls of 14 and 19 points recently, and this week he faces an improved but still leaky Everton side.

Forwards

Everton have evidently improved, but they also conceded two goals in two of their previous three outings, which suggests targeting them could be ideal. An additional route into the effective Brentford frontline is Yoane Wissa (£6.8m), who scored in Gameweek 26.

Another player who scored in Gameweek 26, but who also made it three consecutive returns on the bounce, was Wolves penalty taker Matheus Cunha (£6.9m). Cunha faces a poor Fulham defence up next, so it could be a great opportunity for him to continue his great form.

On the bench, and having a strong case for being in the starting XI is Jean Philippe Mateta (£7.4m). The Crystal Palace penalty taker has bagged at least one return in five of his last six matches.
