🤔 What’s the Best Free Hit FPL Team for Gameweek 33?

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

Haaland gets the armband against Arsenal and Burnley 🧢

He has been quiet by his standards recently, with his last attacking return coming in Gameweek 27 against Newcastle.

But the underlying numbers are still elite:

top for goals (22), big chances (41) and xG (22.56). 📊

With Thiago now just one goal behind in the Golden Boot race, the Norwegian will want to open up a gap.

And that second fixture against Burnley could be the perfect chance to do it. 👀

It is no surprise to see the Algorithm targeting teams with two fixtures, but it may still be a surprise that only one Chelsea player — João Pedro — makes the cut. 🤖

Chelsea have won just one of their last seven matches.

In that run, they have scored only seven goals — the joint-third fewest — and conceded 12, the third most. 📉

Hill stands out as the top differential 🌟

At just £4.2m, he has been outstanding value.

Over the last 10 Gameweeks, he is the joint-fifth highest-scoring defender with 55 points.

In that spell, he has recorded:

seven DEFCON returns, four clean sheets, three assists and two bonus points. 💥
