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.

    Can't decide on a -8 or a -4 this week. Thoughts?

    A. Robbo + Salah + Perez + Wilson > Montoya + Mane + KdB + Rashford (-8)

    I'm not concerned with holding Moira because I think he will come off the bench with Spurs 3 or 4 up and I'll take his goal or assist points happily. Or am I just kidding myself?

    Are the Rate my Team predictions reset after each gameweek or longterm predictions? Trossard scored one, had another VARsed and at home to Southampton predicted to get 2.65 points. Granted one game isn't a great base for data but it seems fairly low.

      They get updated regularly. They factor in likeliness of starts etc. If you hover over Trossard you'll get an adjusted value without his expected minutes taken into account. The sensible thing to consider is he's just scored, is a good different and he's at home to Southampton.

      A looks OK, but you could get rib by Robinson by doing King, VVD (or TTA) and Robinson to Martial, Pukki and the best defender you can afford.

    Why are people on a WC preferring Pope/Ryan over Adrian? 3-4 GWs with a Pool CS cover while Burnley, for example, has (wol LIV bha) over the next three. Is it because you don't want to spend a transfer on getting him out later?

          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

        I asked this the other day. I used to use it a lot to help break into the top 10k!

        Apparently FPLlive is just as good...

    Despite the rotation risk I've decided to roll the dice for another week with Lucas Moura and Bernando Silva ahead of their favourable fixtures. I'm also not quite ready to jump aboard the Pukki bandwagon - even though it's been hard to resist. How's this looking for GW3?

        Where's the mad ting there? Could this -4 potentially be better?

        Wilson > Pukki
        Perez > KdB

      No -8 is ever good...

      Just use your 2ft's. Hold onto Salah and Perez.

      Wilson > Rashford
      Robbo > one of the good 5.5's

      B. I've looked at El Mohamady but felt I needed another week or two to work out the best route into Villa for those fixtures. They've got a couple of decent midfield options too.
