🤔 What’s the Best Free Hit FPL Team for Gameweek 29?

The Algorithm has crunched the numbers and revealed its optimal squad — built to maximise points.

B. Fernandes gets the armband 🧢

Straight off the back of his 13-point haul against Palace, delivered via a goal, assist and maximum bonus points. 🔥

The Algorithm is targeting City’s home game against Forest with a defensive double-up. The Tricky Trees have scored just 5 goals in their last 6 games — the joint fewest in the league. Meanwhile, the Cityzens have conceded just 4 in that time (the fewest) and kept 3 clean sheets (the most). 🛡️

Semenyo makes the cut in midfield. Among midfielders, he’s top for goals (14) and FPL points (165), and will be looking to add to those tallies against a Forest side conceding 1.57 goals per game in average away games. 📈

Dewsbury-Hall stands out as the top differential. 🌟

He has racked up 28 FPL points (1 goal, 2 assists) since returning to the squad in Gameweek 23 — no Everton player has managed more in that period. He also leads the Toffees for attacking returns this season with 10 (5 goals, 5 assists). 🚀
