This season Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers have received twice as many chips, including two free hits.
Similar to the use of the first Yoker sign in the past seasons, the first must be used before the Gameweek 19 Deadline.
The addition offers FPL managers extra opportunities, instead of just waiting for an empty or double game week in the second half of the season.
Then, Gameweek 3 is a possible opportunity to use it.
Many FPL managers will of course have already decided on their chip strategy; For those who are not yet fully dedicated, we look at the potential advantages and disadvantages of a Gameweek 3 -Nrij hit below.
We have also put together a few team concepts to consider.
Gameweek 3 Free hit: the pros
FPL managers have traditionally preferred the use of the free chip in an empty or double game week, but it seems unlikely that we will come in the first half of the season, unless there is a delay for bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
As a result, there is not really a striking time to play it, so why shouldn’t you use it in GameWeek 3?
Avoid Liverpool V Arsenal
It can help you to navigate through a game week in which several important players come across difficult matchups.
The striking match in the Premier League in Gameweek 3 is the first versus second season of last season, Liverpool v Arsenal.
The Gunners must give another goal, or even a big chance, in the first two game week.
Of Mohamed is wrong (£ 14.5 million) and Florian Wirtz (£ 8.4 million) In the top five midfielders selected by teams in game week 2, Gameweek 3 can be a good opportunity to give them a rest against Arsenal’s stingy defense.
You would then retrieve them for an indispensable run of three games in which the Reds are confronted with Burnley, Everton and Crystal Palace in game week 4-6.
While owners of Viktor (£ 9.0 million) could lick their lips in the porous defense of Liverpool, their attack remains the most effective in the competition and scored most goals about Gamweek 1-2.
So owners of Gabriel Magalhães (£ 6.1 million) and David Raya (£ 5.5 million) she was able to keep them in their squadrons and bring them back for a home game against Notts Forest.
Aimed at the favorable luminaires
Aim at West Ham lackets resembles a feasible strategy after the Hammers had admitted no fewer than eight goals, including three against newly promoted Sunderland, in their first two games.
For those who like reliability, Chris Wood (£ 7.7 million) must be an option against the worst defense of the Premier League, also for Matz Sels (£ 5.0 million) and the forest -aged line, where the hammers only create one big chance in two games.
Gambling on forest activa for a week seems to be a seductive option, with the difficult trees that the Emirates visit in Gameweek 4.
Matheus Cunha (£ 8.1 million) the second has most shots of all midfielders in the first two game week, less than just oop Anthony Gordon (£ 7.5 million), who will miss the next three game week because of suspension. Newly promoted Burnley are the next for the Red Devils.
The Palmer Plaster
Cole Palmer (£ 10.4 million) is out of Gameweek 3.
It can give you a shortage to players this weekend, but at the same time you may want to keep the international English international longer term.
So, a game week 3 -free hit meets both needs. This makes a point on a forest or man utd -midfielder (that difficult game week 4 tests) possible for a week, where Palmer then returns.
Gameweek 3 Free hit: The disadvantages
Always handy to have a chip for emergency situations
It clearly leaves you without a very handy chip for the rest of 2025.
Could it be advantageous to have the free hit in your back pocket for the hectic festive period, when injuries and suspensions often occur?
Other difficult luminaires that you can navigate with a free hit in the future
There can also be better options for using it further.
If you want to use the free hit chip to help you navigate in a game week in which some of your most important players have difficult luminaires, here are a few dates to pay attention to:
- Arsenal V Man City (GW5)
- Chelsea against Liverpool (GW7)
- Man City against Liverpool (GW11)
- Chelsea in Arsenal (GW13)
Man City v Burnley in Gameweek 6?
As an alternative you may want to focus a specific fixture and make a triple-up that would usually not be accessible to you.
The match between Man City v Burnley in Gameweek 6 immediately stands out. Pep Guardiola’s side face Manchester United and Arsenal in the run -up to it, making a free hit potentially beneficial.
In addition to City, Nottingham Forest (Sun), Bournemouth (Lee) and Tottenham (wool) are other teams that you might want to focus on a game weekend 6 Free Hit.
Gameweek 3: Free hit team concepts
Design 1: Playing safely
This design has triple-ups for Notts Forest, Spurs and Man United, who organize West Ham, Bournemouth and Burnley respectively.
Sels And Nikola Milenkovic (£ 5.5 million) confronted with a West Ham side that has only created one big chance in two games.
Despite their clean sheet against wolves, Bournemouth has only allowed one shot in the box than West Ham, so Pedro Porro (£ 5.6 million) and Richarlison (£ 6.7 million) could continue their good shape.
When Cunha, Bruno Fernandes (£ 9.0 million) And their teammates start to take their chances, then Big Hauls can be around the corner with newly promoted Burnley who visits Old Trafford.
Despite the looks in the last game week, Erling Haaland was captain after missing a babysitter and could have completed the game with two assists.
Design 2: A little different
This differential design is in favor of Defcon Monsters James Tarkowski (£ 5.5 million), Murillo (£ 5.5 million) and Matthis de Ligt (£ 5.0 million).
