Let’s jump to our FPL GW29 Tips, where we discuss best picks, fixtures to target, transfer targets, captain, differentials, odds & team selection.

1. Fantasy Premier League Blank Gameweek Tips

  • Focus on having 10-11 players
  • So if you have can have 10 players without -4 point hit, we would not use free hit here
  • So, do not tear your team apart to force your team to field XI players. If you have 6-7 key players in your squad, you will be OK.
  • If on free hit, activate it on Saturday 15 March, in case something very unexpected happens (like all games are called off). Price rises do not matter, as a majority of playing players are pretty cheap.32. FPL Blank Gameweek 29 Transfer Tips and Key Players to pick
