Why I’m lining up for FPL Gameweek 3 without any Chelsea players

A Fantasy Premier League veteran of 11 years, Darren Wiles has an incredible track record with three top 1k finishes in the last four seasons.

With so many favourable match-ups in Gameweek 3, I am feeling confident about the next round of Fantasy Premier League.

It has been a positive start thus far, anyway, with 80 and 90-point hauls in the first two Gameweeks taking me to a total of 170 and an overall rank of 29k.

The goals have been flying in so far and I have been lucky enough to capitalise on the early glut of double-digit returns. But all of that is in the past, and it’s what happens this weekend that matters now.

Here is what my team looks like for Gameweek 3 and the reasons behind some key decisions.

    Sterling, KdB, Souček, Zaha, Bruno
    Kane (C), Antonio (Eddie)

    Minor changes tomorrow if news or other informs. The Leeds CB was one of their best performing players GW1 but his flexibility cost him his spot. Could be back this weekend, but if not then Mitchell is in. Eddie might be made Sub 1.
