With Gameweek 24 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) nearing, our contributors are starting to finalise their teams before Saturday’s deadline.

FPL General, who has three top 500 finishes to his name, is Wildcarding but will continue to plough on without Erling Haaland (£15.0m)!

Here, he outlines his plans for the week ahead.

General no Salah Haaland

Gameweek 23 Review

FPL General’s Gameweek 24 Wildcard reveal

Gameweek 23 ended up being a non-event for The Troops. After a great start to the weekend with Antoine Semenyo (£7.8m) being captain and Jarrod Bowen (£7.6m) going big, nothing else happened.

The arrow was a tiny green one, where the team sits at 2.1 million overall. So I pressed the Wildcard button on Saturday night. Wholesale changes are about to happen…

      Got any FT’s spare?

      I’m tossing up on Evanilson vs JP this week so think I’d recommend Evanilson > Thiago for sure. Looks a proper asset for the next 5 weeks

    Timber Gabriel Reinildo
    Saka BrunoF Enzo Rogers
    Haaland Ekitike Thiago
    Dubravka Potts Dorgu* Bijol*

    Would plan to get Rice, Mbeumo, Chalobah, Evanilson/JP, Guehi mainly for Saka,Potts,Dorgu,Bijol and Thiago
    Been on the fence with it as my current team looks ok but zero bench basically

          What would be the different? EVE? You would have CHE and ARS anyway? Also 3 CHE would be a stretch with potential rotation.

            True. I’d keep Sanchez for price and have 2x Ars def & rice.

            Wouldn’t mind chalobah, only 3rd Chelsea id go for is Enzo due to mins as you said. Dont fancy palmer and would honestly rather Salah than palmer even with price hike

    I just have a feeling that Mbeumo is going to outsource Bruno in the upcoming games. I will trust my feeling and go Mbeumo over Bruno this week. That feeling is largely originating from the fact that Mbeumo will continue to play 30-70 mins as the striker.
