Five-time top 1k FPL finisher Tom Freeman on Calvert-Lewin, Wolves and his Gameweek 2 plans

Ahead of Gameweek 3, I have two free transfers and £0.5m in the bank.

The graphic below shows how I’m currently set up prior to making any transfers, and as you can see, I need to prioritise a defensive move to ensure I have four starters. 

I’d also like to have two frees for the international break, so any further adjustments will have to wait. 

So, onto my transfer then.

Only subscribers can read this article in full: Fantasy Football Scout Premium Memberships for the 2021/22 season are still available at the pre-season cost of £20.00 – but only for a little while longer.

We have given our users until the start of the September international break to sort out their subscriptions for the new campaign but this really is last-chance saloon territory, as yearly Premium Memberships will rise to the regular season price on Sunday.

    Sitting on a WC and have to choose between Bruno or Salah. Ronaldo news has me shook. Thinking Salah as I have Pogba already and its an easier downgrade but I do prefer United's fixtures over the next few weeks.

      Magnus is great but this is a weird take IMO. The 2nd most creative player in the league (who scored 9 open play PL goals last season) will be aiming his passes at someone with over 700 goals - why is he being dismissed so quickly?!

          Portugal =/= United, and international football =/= club football. Ronaldo himself has scored ~0.6 goals per game for Portugal and ~0.75 goals per game for clubs. Bruno's international form could just be an anomaly, like loads of the best English and Argentinian players over the years.
