Not in the same week. You can only play one chip each week.
So most people wildcard the week before the double game week. In this case a lot of people (myself included) will wildcard two weeks before.

Lukaku and Aubameyang both went up last night. 
I suspect a fair few of them will be muppets who think they can bring them in for Kane and then free hit this week whilst keeping their transfers for the next gameweek.
They'll be in for a shock when Kane re-appears with his fat red flag and reduced price point at the start of GW32.

Played my free hit. Toss up between Butland & Pickford in goal, what do you reckon?
I have Salah, Firmino & Mane, so should get something there, hopefully
Also have Deeney, Doucoure and Shakiri
Kenny, Smith & Van A at the back.

I'd go with Butland personally.
And be careful with Kenny - Baines and Coleman are back so Kenny has missed the last couple
If I was picking a free hit team this week it would look something like this
----------------Begovic--------------
Baines-----------Coleman-----------Van Aarnholt
Mane----Salah---Shaquiri----Stanislas----Zaha
Firmino------Mounie-----King

And I was right. One of the lads in our work league has done exactly that bringing in Vardy for Kane so as not to lose transfer value on Kane but is now planning to use his free hit. Noobs gon noob.
Kane out folks?
Already gone. No brainer if you're planing to wildcard soon and not using the free hit this week.
It feels nice to have the extra money
Isn't that only the case if the player you're subbing out doesn't play any minutes that GW?
I'm stuffed this GW. No Free hit left
Whats the minimum players you can get away with this week? Currently got 6/7
Begovic, TAA, Salah, Stanislas, Mounie, Firmino, Calvert-Lewin.
I would rather save my free hit for GW 35. Worth taking a hit for any more players?

As your man says above if you pick someone that won't be hooked before 60 mins it's effectively only a -2 cost to bring in someone else. Looks like you've got no forward slots free and no Liverpool spaces. Shaquiri might be worth a shout? Zaha, Pritchard, Walcott, Baines? An attacking midfielder or a striker would be worth the gamble imo, less so a defender or GK.
Only have 7 for the weekend but happy with that I guess: Robertson, Mariappa, Francis, Salah, Shaqiri, Walcott (fecking useless idiot) & Firminho.

I'm not sure what you mean? If you bring someone in for a -4 hit and they play 60 mins they get 2 points.
He's gonna smash it this weekend and all those that sold him will be crying into their smartphones will he bollocks
I think what he is saying is that would be sound logic if the player you were removing had a blank fixture (this case for many hits this week). Whereas if the player you were removing was due to play the 60 minutes then it is a -4. He was referring to removing Robertson (likely to play 60) for another defender to accommodate bringing in Mane.
Ahh I get you now @Ish. It's a blank gw for loads this week though, so was meaning for that specifically.
Yeah, Dan summed it up nicely.
Shitty week for me. Don’t wanna take any penalty hits and only have 4 players playing
Just Hennessey - Robertson - Salah - Firmino, Niasse for this GW. Just brought in Firmino as I dont't want to fall back in my mini-league, so couldn't take -4. Hope everyone with three Pool players will have a horrible GW though 
Forget about fpl, I would happily take Liverpool getting thrashed 0-5 by WatfordJust Hennessey - Robertson - Salah - Firmino, Niasse for this GW.

Time to use the free hit option.
Kane injury really changed up my plans...
Got the following playing this week
Pickford
Francis, VVD, Schindler
Salah (c), Shaqiri
Wilson, Firmino

So literally everyone will be captaining Salah right?
I have an urge to give Firmino the captaincy.

Going for Mane myself...need to make up some ground and start gambling.
I will be yeah. The guy behind me in my league has Mane and Firmino but not Salah. I'll be captaining Salah obviously. Be gobsmacked if he didn't bring him in somehow but he's a strange one.
Shaquiri That's textbook FPL....
That's textbook FPL....Will Watford score? Can’t work out which trio to go with:
Salah, Firmino & Mane
Or
Salah, Firmino & Robertson
Salah, Firmino & Mane
Or
Salah, Firmino & Robertson
I'd go with the first 3 personally. Any of those players can explode on their day.
I'm now hovering over bringing Calum Wilson in again (will be the 3rd time this season) for a -8. I know I shouldn't but I can see my rival (who's 40 points behind) is on a -4 himself so it might be worth the gamble.
Glad I saved me free hit!
Is Shaqiri fit? Undecided between him or Walcott.
He's turned up with the squad so looks good at the moment.
Used my free hit. Team is:
Butland
Van Anholt, Baines, A. Smith
Mane, Salah (c), Zaha, Walcott, Stanislas
Firmino, Wilson
I did have Shaqiri in my team initially but went for Stanislas instead because he was a doubt.
I think I have Mounie, Schindler and Zouma on the bench.
Need them to deliver, though worried as whenever I've taken a gamble with brave captains it's not paid off. My triple captain was a failure too.

Going to be such a crap gameweek this. A load of shit teams playing and the 2 best ones playing each other.
Exactly why I didn't want to waste the free hit.
fecking Bournemouth 1-0 to WBA! nearly did a -8 to get in Begovic and Ake, fecking hell.
I took a -4 for Ake
Most probably wouldn't have got round to using otherwise.
Brought Ake and Zanka in - both teams losing 1-0 at home. My luck this year is absolutely shocking.
