Summary

With four teams absent from the Premier League this weekend because of the League Cup final, Kelly Somers and the FPL Pod team take a look at the best sides you can create if using the Free Hit chip to avoid the Blank Gameweek 🃏🤑🃏

They discuss an unusual goalkeeper pick, backing Bruno in the middle, and urge caution with Haaland. But, while focusing on a Free Hit side, these are of course good players to consider for this week even if you aren’t using the chip and are planning to play though.

LISTEN 👇

* Super Salah (06m 16s)
* Free Hit goalkeepers (19m 48s)
* Free Hit midfielders (24m 50s)
* Free Hit Forwards (29m 03s)
* Differential of the Week (39m 47s)
* Transfers and captains (43m 58s)
