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.

Any changes (WC) chaps? 0.6M ITB (probably to upgrade defence when needed)

Petrovic
Gusto, Bradley, Lascelles
Salah, Son, Foden, Palmer
Haaland, Watkins, Muniz

(Areola, Havertz, White, Ait-Nouri)

Cheers

  Would you play RAN any week other than gw34? If no, then maybe go CRichards to save money?

Trying this again since getting a 50/50 split (usually it's obvious if holding WC is the move). Only BB Remaining. No Son & Salah. Would you WC this:

Kelleher
Virgil - Porro - Zabarnyi
Saka - Foden - Diaz - Palmer
Haaland - Watkins - Solanke

(Neto) (Saliba - Taylor - Chukwu) - £2.7 ITB

to this:

Petrovic
Udogie - Bradley - Gusto
Salah - Son - Saka - Palmer - Gordon
Haaland - Darwin

(Pickford) (Semenyo - Aït-Nouri - Lascelles) - £0.4 ITB

Cheers!

  The WC team looks better, but your team this week looks fine imo. I would say hold for a week but your WC next week would probs be similar to this one, so could as well WC now yeah

Think I'm dome with my WC. Transfers will give me 11 DGW-ers in GW34 and enough to wriggle around for DGW37. Only BB left now.

Petro - Hendo
White - Bradley - Gusto - C.Rich - Lascelles
Salah - Son - Palmer - Foden - Havertz
Haaland - Nunez - Muniz

Any glaring omissions or poor choices? Thanks!

    I'm not too convinced on any defs other than Arsenal tbh, and then I'd rather have two attackers instead.
    
    Liverpool maybe but again, two attackers seem better imo!

I need to sell one of Foden, Watkins or Haaland on my wildcard if I want Salah and I have value tied up in all of them. Getting whoever I get rid of back in will be difficult. Is it mad that I’m considering Haaland?

  Considering the same. Haaland to Darwin and then have the funds to get Salah. It is a gamble. City have real as well very soon.
