Gameweek 28 is over – recap what happened here – and we’re now looking ahead to the first major blank gameweek of the season.

The Carabao Cup final on Sunday means four teams are without a fixture, leaving many an FPL team with gaps in their starting 11.

How to deal with those gaps is up for debate – expect some to take hits and lots of chips to be activated.

We’ve got plenty of content for those on Free Hit. Our usual AI team of the week piece has been expanded into a Free Hit guide, while our AI Wildcard explores why using this chip could be an alternative for some teams in need of a refresh.

Hub AI

AI is an integral part of the Hub, so much of our content also focuses on its picks.

Our best FPL team is not just useful when playing your Free Hit – it’s a useful health check on the strength of your squad ahead of the coming gameweek.

And our AI Wildcard team takes a longer-term view, using predicted points over the next five gameweeks.

Both of these teams are updated in real-time in our My Team tool, so members can check them out nearer the deadline to see how they’ve changed. We discuss a snapshot below:
