Gameweek 34 Best Free Hit Team

We take a look at the Gameweek 34 best free hit team. Using the Fantasy Football Scout members area we utilise the fixture ticker and underlying stats to build the best Free Hit. We also base the best Free hit team on team and player form.

The free hit chip in FPL allows managers, within the same budget and formational limits, to select a team for one particular Gameweek. Managers can attack any given Gameweek with the free hit whether that be to utilise a good set of fixtures, in-form teams or players or a mixture of it all.

Gameweek 34 Best Free Hit Team

Using Plan FPL we can use one of its fantastic tools to plan transfers weeks in advance. Not just this, but we can also create team drafts to plan for using a chip. Take a look at the best free hit team for Gameweek 34:

Goalkeepers

Everton have mixed fixtures this week, but they have two which is essential. They also go into the round with the second best defence in the league in terms of clean sheets this season. With that factored, Jordan Pickford (£4.7m) gets his inclusion.

Backing Pickford up in the unlikely event he fails to feature is Ivo Grbic (£4.5m) who faces a newly promoted side and an inconsistent Manchester United.

Defenders

Crystal Palace rank amongst the best four teams in the league this season for expected goals conceded. Because of that and their two home matches ahead it could be worth taking a chance with Daniel Munoz (£4.5m). Munoz has created both a goal and an assist recently so has proven attacking threat.

Considering Arsenal have the best defence in the league, it could be wise to bring in Gabriel (£5.4m). No team have scored more set-play goals than Arsenal this season and Gabriel has netted four of those.

Liverpool have a very favourable double and they have also kept the second most clean sheets this season. Because of that and his reliability in terms of minutes, Virgil Van Dijk (£6.6m) could be the pick of the bunch.

On the bench is Jarrod Branthwaite (£4.3m) and Nelson Semedo (£4.5m), both are unlikely to feature.

Midfielders

Liverpool are maintaining some of the best underlying metrics in the league so we could double up in attack with penalty Mohamed Salah (£13.4m) and Luiz Diaz (£7.7m), the latter being their most in-form player in terms of output recently.

Only one other side have scored more goals than Arsenal in the league so far so their frontline could also be worth doubling up on. The standout pick is of course penalty taker Bukayo Saka (£9m) but we should also consider Kai Havertz (£7.4m). Havertz has picked up a huge four double-digit hauls in his last seven league games.

With two home matches against two inconsistent defences it could be worth backing a Crystal Palace attacker. Set pieces and penalty duty gives Eberechi Eze (£6m) the edge overall. He also goes into the game off the back of a 10-point return against Liverpool.

Forwards

Bournemouth have been dominating several underlying key attacking metrics in the last six Gameweeks. The Cherries come up against Aston Villa and Wolves this week so penalty taker Dominic Solanke (£7.2m) could be an essential. Solanke has been excellent so far – scoring a huge 17 goals and registering three assists.

Crystal Palace’ recent goals against Liverpool and Manchester City makes them much more appealing coming into their double Gameweek. With this in mind we could double up on their attack with Jean-Phillipe Mateta (£5m) who has returned in three of his last five games.

First on the bench is Mathues Cunha (£5.6m). Wolves play two home matches and in his first full start since returning from injury Cunha bagged a brace and a 12-point haul. In the six matches prior to his injury Cunha also collected a huge 40 points for his efforts.
