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.

    Suggested changes here, if any? 2 FT, 0ITB

    Hold and wait on injury news re Digne or else go Robbo & Perez > AWB & Martial (possibly followed by King > Pukki the week after)

    Pope - Button
    Robertson - VVD - Digne - Zinchenko - Lundstram
    Sterling - KDB - Salah - Perez - Dendocker

        He should have a strong enough bench even if Digne is out - Dendocker and Lundstrum both have decent fixtures.

          The basic problem is that I already have Martial, Salah, KDB, Trossard and Barkley with 3.8 itb. So I would want to upgrade Barkley but I already have the best options I can afford.

          The other transfer I have been thinking is Wilson to Kane.

      It was between him, Martial and De Bruyne for me. I love Son but think he's a touch over-priced and not confident how well Spurs are playing, Martial looks great value, playing upfront, but question marks still over how United will get on. City look the business and De Bruyne looks their best player. I think he's well under priced and will scoop up assists, goals and bonus.

    Pope/Button
    Montoya / Digne / WanBissaka / Lundstram / 4.5 DEF
    Salah / Sterling / KDB / Mount / Dendoncker

    King Adams Greenwood
    2ft. 0 itb.
    Pérez to Martial is priority I think. To afford that I have to downgrade Robbo og Digne. If I downgrade Robbo I can leave enough itb to afford Adams to Pukki the week after.
    Robbo to Zouma or any other idea?

    Thoughts on these options?

    A. Wilson/Siggy/Perez > Pukki/KDB/Mount -4

    Or

    B. Wilson/Perez > Pukki/Martial

    Cheers

    So this is what my team would look like if I removed Vardy and Perez but with a -8 hit. Also Perez and Vardy prices bound to drop so makes upgrading them become more difficult especially when KDB's price will be rocketing.

    Pope
    Pereira TAA VVD
    Mcginn Salah Sterling KDB Trossard
    Pukki Jota

    Button Dunk Lundstram Greenwood

    I will have 0.2 in the bank and KDB bound to get a good haul again vs Bournemouth.

    I also will not be thinking of using my WC yet.

    Vardy and Perez out, KDB and Pukki in -8 hit.

    Honest thoughts appreciated.

    Not necessarily going to go for this But seeing how would get this midfield together. Defence different but tried some attacking options in there-but what are thoughts

    Pope
    El Mohamady Montoya O’ Connell
    Salah Sterling KDB Martial Son
    Pukki Jota

    McGovern Söyüncö Diop Greenwood
