Pros of GW4 Free Hit:
Load up on Chelsea, Liverpool attackers for their games against Hull & Fulham
Get rid of Man City & Man United assets from your regular team for one week as they play each other
Going for triple Chelsea attack
Cons of GW4 Free Hit:
Hull City haven’t conceded a goal so far, and if they keep Chelsea quiet, then going heavy on Chelsea attack in free hit could backfire
It’s still early in the season, so holding the 1st free hit for a bit longer could work too
Man United defence hasn’t looked good, and getting rid of Haaland from your regular team and going without him on free hit could backfire. He also has a very good record against them too (8 goals, 3 assists in 7 games)
FPL GW4 Free Hit Drafts
FPL GW4 Free Hit Draft 1
FPL GW4 Free Hit Draft 1
FPL GW4 Free Hit Draft 1
This draft has triple Chelsea attack with Joao Pedro, Palmer and Rogers. Chelsea have scored the joint most goals (8) so far this season and their attack looks really good under Xabi Alonso. They also have the highest projected goals (2.78) in GW4.
Rogers & Joao Pedro both have 2+ xGI in the three games, Palmer has close to 1.5 xGI, and not to forget he’ll be on penalties too.
Joao Pedro has also created the joint most chances in the PL so far (10) along with Cherki.
Isak is the other forward in the draft, the Liverpool forward is second for: shots inside the box (9), shots on target (5), and FPL points amongst forwards (23). He’s also had a healthy xG of 2.29 in the first three games (5th highest amongst forwards). Liverpool’s opponents in GW4, Fulham, have conceded the most big chances (14) and 2nd most xGC (6.23) so far this season, making it a perfect matchup to target.

On a free hit, you’ll have to attack the fixtures, and we have done so by doubling up on Liverpool’s attack by having Gakpo as well. The Dutch attacker has the most FPL points amongst midfielders (28 pts) and the joint most goal involvements (4), he’s also returned in all three games so far.
There’s potential to go for a 3rd Liverpool midfielder too by going Szoboszlai over Gross, as we have enough money left in the bank. Gross, however, is a good pick himself, playing Coventry this week, and Brighton have a healthy goal projection of 1.88. The Seagulls have also had the most big chances (15), xG (7.55), and goals (8) so far this season.
Saka is the last midfielder in this draft. The Arsenal attacker has looked so far this season and has the most xG (1.5), big chances (3), goals (2), shots on target (5), shots (9), and shots inside the box (7) amongst Arsenal players. He also has penalties, which add to his appeal.
In defence, we have gone for a Brighton defensive double of Vuskovic and De Cuyper. Coventry are one of the three teams who have not scored a goal yet and have the 2nd lowest xG in the league so far (2.87). Vuskovic is also good for DEFCON and aerial threat, he hit DEFCON & also scored a goal vs Leeds in GW3. Whereas De Cuyper continues to play out of position in attack and has also registered a goal & 2 assists. His xGI of 1.9 is comfortably the highest amongst defenders and also the same as Cherki.

Calafiori and Raya complete the defensive picks. Arsenal defence is ridiculously good, and the numbers tell the same. The Gunners have conceded only one big chance and 0.92 xG in the first three games (Lowest amongst all teams by a comfortable margin)

FPL GW4 Free Hit Draft 2
FPL GW4 Free Hit Draft 2
A slightly different draft with Virgil, Henderson, and Havertz in place of Saka, Vuskovic, and Raya.
Palace defence hasn’t been great, but they have a good home against Ipswich City and will be hoping for their first clean sheet of the season. The Eagles also have a good clean sheet projection of 32% this week.

This draft is mainly for those who don’t want to go without Haaland, who has a phenomenal record against Man United (8 goals, 3 assists in 7 PL games). He’s in fine form, having scored 3 goals in the last two PL games along with a brace against Porto in Man City’s UCL game this season.
Khalaili is the differential defender in this draft, he’s got solid DEFCON potential (15 DC/90 so far), and you’ll have to hope Palace also solidify defensively and keep their first clean sheet this season vs Ipswich.
