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.

    What does Ronaldo arrival mean for Bruno?

    - No penalties or free kicks.
    - He’ll probably score less goals in general, because Ronaldo has to be the star

    + More assists? Maybe?

        Good shout - maybe. Might be a bit old though for City and he is not the iconic striker that the other four are. A statement signing. I would like to see Pep give someone from the youth academy a shot. This is basically how Kane got his chance and now he is one of the best in the world.

    imo it is not only about penalties for Bruno. We all saw in the Euros how useless Bruno was in their system which has lots of similarities with Man U.

    For me Bruno will be gone as soon as Cristiano starts playing and will get Pogba or Sancho as a replacement

    So original plan pre Ronaldo with 2FT was a nice and easy Ings > DCL, but now doing that transfer and also a 4.5 forward to Ronaldo would end up with an 8 point hit overall. Which sounds like the best plan:

    A. Skip DCL and go for Ings > Ronaldo and downgrade Bruno

    B. Go for the -8 to keep wildcard intact

    C. Wildcard with a plan in place for Ings or Antonio > Lukaku GW7

    Saved up 2FTs and spent one this week on Barnes->Benrahma, in order to have 2FTs after international break and WC in GW7.
    But now with Ronaldo about to shake up FPL, I'm thinking of WC in GW4 to capitalize quick.

    So the question is, do i spend the 2nd FT this week to maximize points this week? And if yes, then who do i get?

    Sanchez
    TAA Maguire Cancelo
    Salah Bruno Benrahma Sarr
    Toney Ings Antonio
