For those who are interested in targeting Manchester City and Arsenal assets for their home games against Tottenham and Leeds respectively, you can use your free hit chip, now that we have two sets of each chips for the season. For newer players, this chip basically allows you to have players for one week and after the Gameweek, your team will reset to how it was before the chip was activated. Here is how a draft could look:
We have gone for Sanchez who faces a West Ham side that lost 3-0 to a newly promoted Sunderland.
Dubravka offers cover in case of any surprise injury to Sanchez in a relegation 6 pointer for the two promoted sides.
Saliba home to Leeds should be an easy fixture for the Gunners and offers easy clean sheet potential.
Cucurella offers a double up for that Chelsea defence and not to mention is a bonus point magnet with potential for assists from that left hand side.
You could drop Richards for Esteve it is a 50-50 call, Palace are a better team but Burnley have the better fixture.
In midfield, Rogers faces a very weak Brentford team and with a very disappointing result against Newcastle, Unai Emery will be looking for them to bounce back.
Saka home to Leeds is a good captaincy choice. Arsenal even came away with a win at Old Trafford looked the worse of the two sides and Mikel could push his team to score goals and put on a display.
Semenyo coming off a brilliant brace faces a weary wolves side, both team have very weak defences and this match could come down to the team that scores more.
Reijnders is a cheap enabler and a no brainer pick against Spurs at home.
Haaland, Joao Pedro and Gyokeres make up the attack.
Haaland home to Spurs coming off a brace seems like a shout for captaincy but it is better to give the armband to Saka for the fixture. Joao Pedro had a shocking game against Palace but with the competition from Delap and a week West Ham defence, it will be a game where he must perform.
Gyokeres although had a lackluster performance against the Red Devils will play his first match at the Emirates and will be hoping to replicate his goal scoring prowess against a newly promoted Leeds.
Ultimately, the decision to play your Free Hit chip in Gameweek 2 is a personal one that depends entirely on the state of your team and your strategy for the season.
