NOTES
- With the usual template trio of Michael Olise, David Raum and Nico Schlotterbeck all suspended this week, an opportunity opens up to move slightly away from the crowd. Sitting 368th overall and 52nd in the Second Chance league, I’m leaning into that flexibility by targeting a few well-timed differentials.
- Luka Vušković, Alexis Claude-Maurice and Edmond Tapsoba come into the squad, while the star players sit with Harry Kane, Claude-Maurice and Alejandro Grimaldo. The final two moves will depend on Friday’s team news, where I’ll look to add one or two further differentials if the line-ups allow.

NOTES
- Goalkeepers: With a heavy round of suspensions elsewhere, transfers are likely needed in other areas, so I’m not planning any changes in goal. Both Marvin Schwäbe and Diant Ramaj will remain as my goalkeepers for now.
- Defenders: At the back, the suspensions to Nico Schlotterbeck and David Raum force a rethink. At the moment, I’m leaning towards bringing in Luka Vušković and Willi Orbán. Maximilian Mittelstädt is also firmly on my radar and becomes a serious option if team news suggests he’s set to start.
- Midfielders: With Michael Olise suspended and Romano Schmid facing a difficult fixture against Bayern, both look like straightforward sales. That opens up space in midfield, and replacing Olise with another Bayern option feels logical. A move for either Jamal Musiala or Lennart Karl is likely, although I’m still weighing up which one makes more sense. Elsewhere, Aleix García, a Borussia Dortmund midfielder such as Felix Nmecha or Julian Brandt, and Vieira are all under consideration.
- Forwards: The DFB-Pokal clash between Bayern and Leipzig could have an impact on minutes for Harry Kane, Luis Díaz and Amine Adli, but at this stage I’m not planning to move any of them on. If I do decide to sell a forward later on, players like Deniz Undav, Serhou Guirassy, Antonio Nusa and Andrej Kramarić would be the main alternatives I’d look towards.
@KarbownikFF
NOTES
- My plan this week is to free up budget by moving on suspended players and setting myself up for flexibility in the rounds ahead.
- At the moment, I’m looking to sell Nico Schlotterbeck, David Raum, Michael Olise, Nadiem Amiri and Harry Kane. In their place, Edmond Tapsoba, Miro Muheim, Jamal Musiala, Brajan Gruda and Deniz Undav come in.
- These moves allow me to stay aggressive this week while keeping enough budget in reserve to move straight back to suspended players once they return.
@FPL2137
NOTES
- With Michael Olise, Nico Schlotterbeck and David Raum all suspended, the outgoing transfers are fairly straightforward. Romano Schmid also joins the exit list given the fixture away to Bayern. I’m planning to keep one transfer back as cover for anything unexpected, although Nadiem Amiri is the most likely to make way, especially with Borussia Dortmund away next.
- The star selections remain flexible for now. If Harry Kane’s minutes look uncertain, Luis Díaz shapes up as a strong alternative. In midfield, Lennart Karl currently gets the nod, although that could change once there’s clearer information on Bayern’s expected minutes. Álejandro Grimaldo feels like the most obvious and secure star option at this stage.
- The squad itself isn’t particularly exciting, but that’s not always a bad thing. For now, I’m set up in a 4-3-3, as there isn’t a convincing 4-4-2 available without taking risks on forwards with uncertain minutes.
