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.

    Don't know if I should be happy I did my move so early this week.
    Did Moura and Robbo to Martial and Laporte. Haven't seen the games this weekend so don't know if I did the right thing here..

    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?

    Repost

    Ladies and Gents

    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.

        This is the thing, I went against my gut last minute at the start of the season and it's massively cost me, now I'm scrambling to rectify.

        I dropped Sterling for Salah at 1600 GW1 then refused to swap him over GW2 and it's showing in my 1.7M rank already. I decided to hold my GW2 transfer so I could have two for free in GW3 which meant I didn't do Moura > Martial as planned and that's backfired.

        As a WHU fan I let my heart go above my head and went for Haller over Pukki and finally I let this site talk me out of a double Everton defence (Pickford & Digne) and that would've been a great start to the season...

        Do I wildcard to rectify this team;

        Ederson
        TAA, Digne, Walker, KWP
        Richar, Moura, Salah (C), Wilshere, Tielemans
        Haller

          That expensive defence and a lot of marginal mid-range attacking players was always going to be a risk - hope your early WC won't be too costly long-term.
