It is a short but important week coming up for Fantasy Premier League managers.

There are some big decisions to be made ahead of Gameweek 3 as some prepare to spend their two free transfers, others consider the Wildcard and that’s before we even get on to the captaincy.

So we’ve put together another panel of fine FPL minds to help you with any dilemmas.

Who’s on the panel this week?

Simon March – Former FPL champion who won the title in 2014/15 and has provided excellent advice ever since.

Always Cheating – The USA’s number one FPL podcast duo comprising of Josh and Brandon.

Gregor – Long-time Fantasy Football Scout moderator.

Doosra – Fantasy Football Scout user with some rather popular custom tables.

      Spurs have beaten Villa and drawn with City. Those are better results than the equivalent fixtures last season.

      Will Poch change a team that is doing well? You could argue that Moura scoring as a sub makes him the ideal bench candidate as he can be the impact sub.

    Hi all. I'm not a flapper so don't think I'm flapping. I want to know if you think it's acceptable to do a -8 to do the following:-
    B Silva > KDB
    Auba > Kane
    Wilson > 6m (possibly Wesley as I think he opens his tally from Friday night)

    I appreciate it could be argued that it may not pay for itself this week and looking at it as a fairly long term move.
    Saying that, Silva could make way for the unfortunate Mahrez, Auba has Liverpool and Wilson has City so it would still feel good.

    This seems the viable way to get KDB in who looks absolutely fantastic so far. Any thoughts much appreciated.

      You don't have to do Auba to Kane this week even though you want the latter for that plum Newcastle fixture. Unless of course you are confident of having Kane start on -4 points for that game.

      Follow your gut. I did when I transferred Deulofeu out for Pukki last week 🙂

    I’ve seen a lot of hate on here for people taking hits or hitting the WC, I understand everyone has their own opinion but is it really that bad??

    1) You have the ability to catch price rises, which at this point in the game could be much more valuable to building a solid team for the months to come.

    2) For everyone saying we haven't had enough time to asses players in form etc...while I agree that we haven’t had much time, there are already certain players that are showing their strengths and weaknesses already so why not capitalize on their form or lose players who aren’t on form right away rather than watch them sit in our teams for weeks.

    3) The people who haven’t changed their teams are taking a risk that the others who get on the bandwagons early could simply leave them in the dust if these players keep performing with no way of getting them easily because they will be priced out. I get that those of us who have chosen to take hits or WC are also taking a risk but there is no way of knowing if that will be a risk or excellent decision. Any players could be injured at any time, injuries don’t have to wait until the international break...

    Just saw a lot of hate and wanted to offer a bit of support for some of us WC crew, everyone will play the game differently and that’s what makes it so exciting. Goodluck lads!

      I’ve often WC’d early and has always worked out ok or great. I’d rather use it now and get ahead rather than trying to claw back from mistakes by hanging on to it for dear life, like you say though, everyone plays it a different way.

      Also feel mids will outscore forwards by miles again this season.

      1) If you already have a great team, hold the WC. Even if someone else scored this week. Many people are panicking too easily.

      2) Don't WC into a terrible team. You need to know current form & future fixtures, not just previous gameweek points. There is no second WC to re-save you.

      3) If you have a terrible team, WC away as long as you know what you are doing.

      4) If you WC early, you need a lot of long-term players. Guaranteed starters are a high priority.

        Point 2 is critical and I feel like there are a lot of wildcard teams picked on form rather than potential. If form goes, what are you left with? A team half filled with Norwich and SHU players most likely.

        I was about to suggest this. Drop Barnes and put some money into defence. That 2m could give you Kelly + Rico > Boly + Zouma, or AWB + Soyuncu. (As it's unlikely either 4.5 striker would get game time, I'd want 4 starting defenders... and Lundstram)

                As commented below, I've realised after posting this that it basically does come down to Moura's spot, and whether I desperately want that to be Kevin or Son....

                I think it's prob worth keeping the chip for now and hoping Moura does something vs the Geordies but tbh I don't expect a whole lot.

          Not really but i can see what you're driving at. Would be much better if his spot was KDB or Son for example, and then i can move funds around to make that happen...

          However, I think if someone told me he'll get 20 mins at the end vs a tired Newcastle.... I'd be fine with that, and come what may. He's probably the next out the door for my side anyway and was an early season punt (which has gone fine!)

          Or, if he no-shows, I have Montoya (SOU) / Dendoncker (BUR) that can come in... so a lot depends on your bench, and who would pop up if he didn't get on.

              40% ish I think, unfortunately. Lamela's played well so far so I doubt he gets benched - and I think with Son, Eriksen and Lo Celso now all potential starters in GW3 it becomes v hard to squeeze Moura into the side.

              I think if they go 4-diamond-2 then he's got a much better chance of starting w/Kane though. Other issue is that we won't get any clues from Poch at all!

      so basically Salah & Kane vs Mane & Son
      the former of course.

      im going with a variant of your second team with Martial over Son and 5.5s over 4.5s in defence

    Deulofeu Wilson Greenwood

    Would you WC? I’ve already done Fraser, Siggy, Wilson > McGinn, KDB, Pukki for -4.

    Not the most riveting of questions I know but:

    a) El Mohammedy (is he nailed)
    b) Pieters

    If you absolutely had to pick a Chelsea mid this week, which one would it be? Frank’s favourite Mount (no pun intended); may be rotated with Barkley still. Whom of Pulisic and Pedro is most likely to lose minutes/ his spot to Willian? Most importantly, whom do you think is most likely to score a brace in vs nor/SHU?

      probably Mount, mainly because 'Whom of Pulisic and Pedro is most likely to lose minutes/ his spot to Willian?' - also he does look quite good tbf

        Good question. Because of their upcoming fixtures and because those of us who have Perez (6.5) are considering a replacement. Chelsea have the best pick of the lot in that range.

    Perez to Ceballos, worth making the change or save the FT?

      I’ve done it I think he’s going to do well and offer good value plus arsenal can score against anyone. He should get a decent amount of assists.

      Perez playing out on the wing and was far to deep on many occasions the weekend. He went out off my team after that game.

    Anyone ran comparisons in the members area of Lundstram vs Siggy, McGinn, Martial etc?
    With additional points available for a cleansheet over other midfielders as well, I'm starting to think I should start him...
