TL;DR

The best Free Hit XI for Gameweek 6 on live projected points, ignoring your current squad entirely. Play it only if the international break has wrecked your team; there is no blank gameweek to rescue.

How to Draft a Free Hit XI for GW6

  • Stack the best fixtures. Arsenal at home to Leeds is the softest GW6 draw for a big side. Take three from one club if the fixture justifies it, because it costs you nothing next week.
  • Avoid the big clash. Liverpool against Man City is rated tough for both sides, so a one-week squad can simply look elsewhere.
  • Ignore price and ownership. You are renting, not buying. A premium you could never normally afford is fair game.
  • Captain the highest ceiling. With no long-term consequences, the safe floor pick is the wrong pick.
  • Build it late. Players come back from international duty tired or injured, so confirm the XI after the last international fixture and the early team news.

Should You Free Hit in GW6?

Only if the international break has damaged your squad. Gameweek 6 is a full gameweek with all 20 teams playing once and no blanks through Gameweek 9, so the chip is not rescuing missing fixtures. Its case this week is injuries and late returns from international duty.

If your squad is fine, hold it. A blank gameweek later in the half is where a Free Hit is worth the most, and the chip optimizer will tell you whether that week beats this one for your squad. For this week's captain see the GW6 tips.
