GOALKEEPER
David Raya (Arsenal)
Arsenal rank first in the league for expected goals conceded and clean sheet probability, making David Raya one of the safest Free Hit goalkeeper options for GW15. No matter the opponent, Arsenal are always worth backing defensively due to clean sheet potential.
DEFENDERS
James Tarkowski (Everton)
Tarkowski remains a strong pick for managers targeting defensive contributions and center-backs as set-piece threats. Everton's matchup against Nottingham Forest gives him one of the best clean sheet opportunities of the Gameweek.
Nico O'Reilly (Manchester City)
With Manchester City carrying the highest clean sheet odds in Gameweek 15, O'Reilly provides both defensive security and attacking potential. His four attacking returns this season make him an ideal Free Hit inclusion.
Lewis Hall (Newcastle)
Newcastle are near the top for clean sheet probability in GW15, home against Burnley, and Lewis Hall adds attacking involvement and occasional set-piece duties. A strong home fixture boosts his appeal as a budget-friendly defensive option.
MIDFIELDERS
Anthony Gordon (Newcastle)
A standout differential for Free Hit managers. Gordon's home fixture against Burnley, one of the league's weakest defences, makes him a prime upside pick. Penalty duties only increase his ceiling considering how unpopular he is in FPL.
Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
The safest Manchester United option for GW15. Fernandes offers penalties, open-play creativity and defensive contribution potential, providing one of the safest routes to points in the game. Wolves' poor defensive numbers make him an ideal captaincy alternative.
Bryan Mbeumo (Manchester United)
Mbeumo completes the United double-up in the midfield. He continues to produce strong underlying metrics and ranks high for expected goal involvement. With Wolves struggling, stacking United's attack makes sense for a one-week Free Hit.
Phil Foden (Manchester City)
Foden enters GW15 in his best form of the season, scoring four goals in his last two starts. With his minutes secure and City playing at home against Sunderland, he is one of the top midfield picks available.
Yankuba Minteh (Brighton)
Brighton's most reliable attacker for minutes, Minteh offers pace, creativity and strong involvement in the final third. The fixture against West Ham provides ideal conditions for another attacking return, having already matched last season's four assists.

FORWADS
Erling Haaland (Manchester City)
FPL's top scorer is an automatic inclusion. Haaland's fixture, penalties, consistency and explosive potential make him the obvious captain for Free Hit managers.
Nick Woltemade (Newcastle)
Woltemade faces a Burnley defence that ranks bottom for expected goals conceded and big chances allowed. His combination of form, fixture and low ownership makes him a perfect one-week punt.
