FPL Show: Should you Free-Hit in GW19?
What is the Free Hit chip in FPL and how can it help now?

With Fantasy Premier League managers now having two Free Hit chips to use this season, the reduced Gameweek 19 could provide the perfect opportunity to use one of them.

Liverpool's home meeting with Leeds UnitedWatford's trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers and Burnley's encounter with Everton have all been postponed.

FPL experts Az Phillips and Gianni Buttice believe that if Fantasy managers face making at least four transfers and taking multiple hits just to field a full line-up, the Free Hit chip should be deployed.

"If you've got six or seven [players] then I'd be using it," says Az in the latest episode of the FPL Show.

That advice is echoed by Gianni, who adds: "Six or seven would be my threshold, for sure. We've been given the gift of two Free Hits so I wouldn't be completely anti using one."
