Tom Freeman’s Gameweek 30 team, transfer plans + captain

30 March 2024 1092 comments

avfc82

Our team of Hall of Famers and guest writers are offering regular contributions throughout the 2023/24 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) campaign. Here, five-time top 1k finisher Tom Freeman discusses his Gameweek 30 dilemmas.

BLANK GAMEWEEK 29

For many, including myself, Blank Gameweek 29 was probably the least enjoyable of the season. Just one attacking return, no clean sheets and a red card, which resulted in 21 points on a Free Hit.

Plenty went wrong, of course, but all we can do is try to identify the likeliest scenarios and hope they play out, which isn’t always the case.

The key now is to avoid overreacting to a poor Gameweek by making substandard decisions.

On a positive note, my original squad (see below) have some decent fixtures this week and eight of them ‘double’ in Gameweek 34, which helps my chip strategy for the run-in.

Help needed.

Which 3 of these 4 to play.

KDB
FODEN
SAKA
SOLANKE

Currently Foden benched.

Or 4pt hit to lose Solanke and do KDB for Salah?

Been going back and forward on this for 2 weeks and time is running out and still can’t decide.

I think my only puzzle is whether to start Dalot or Bradley. Both attacking, one away, one home, one vs an out of form team, one vs a team that could easily score or even win...

    Yeah, I’m wondering how City’s defence will be without Stones or Walker.
    
    Also having to play Gabriel so isn’t ideal either way.

      Good point though would imagine Saka will be well marked. Playing Gabriel as well. Both teams usually play cagey early on so unlikely to be many goals. Famous last words.

Good to get a final sense check! FH34, BB37. Kelleher will go when Alisson’s back.

Petrovic
Udogie Gusto Lascelles
Salah Son Palmer Garnacho
Haaland Darwin Isak

Kelleher Saka Branthwaite Gabriel

Current squad:

Dubrav
Saliba Dawson Zabarnyi
Kudus KDB Nacho Palmer(vc)
Haaland Watkins Solanke(c)

Areola Gross Gabriel Lamptey

3.3m itb and 1ft

I have BB and WC left to use.
Is the best plan for me to get Son and maybe a hit for a Liverpool player before dead ending my squad into DGW34 before using WC for the run in?

I haven't had signal for 2 weeks whilst working away so am now playing catch up!

Thoughts please?
