With Gameweek 30 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) nearing, our pundits are finalising their teams before Saturday’s deadline.

FPL General, who has three top 500 finishes to his name, has been without Erling Haaland (£14.6m) all season, so doesn’t have a keep-or-sell decision to make this week!

Here, he outlines his plans for the week ahead.

General no Salah Haaland

Gameweek 29 Review

FPL General’s Haaland-less Gameweek 30 team reveal

Gameweek 29 feels like a lifetime ago. 58 points resulted in a small red arrow from 595k to 658k. Rather than selling the flagged Nico O’Reilly (£5.1m), my transfer was rolled, and the legendary James Hill (£4.2m) auto-subbed in for an eight-pointer.

It was good to see O’Reilly back in action in the Champions League midweek, so hopefully he’ll start against West Ham United on Saturday. Manchester City teammate Antoine Semenyo (£8.3m) delivered as captain, scoring the opener at home to Nottingham Forest. 

Elsewhere, Bruno Fernandes (£10.1m) and Cole Palmer (£10.6m) combined for 17 points, as Gabriel Magalhaes (£7.2m) reached double digits.

However, the Arsenal clean sheet was damaging, as was the highly-owned 19 points of Joao Pedro (£7.7m). Should I buy him this week? The last time this Brazilian was in my squad, he blanked on five straight occasions. Forgiveness isn’t easy!

        Nah, feels to luxury when Bowen plays in 31.

        He can absolutely score against City. Maybe even get defcon too 😆

      A)
      Ekitike + Wilson + Stach IN
      Rogers + Kroupi + Enzo OUT
      leaves me with 0.2 ITB and a -4

      OR

      B)
      Rogers + Kroupi OUT
      JP + Stach IN
      for GW30

      That being said, i can't get in Ekitike without 3 moves.
      Get Ekitike next week, lose out on Tottenham + Wilson.

      What should be done?

          Hill for the stable minutes, defcon and set piece threat.

          Just not sure on O'Reilly mins. Tough though, because an O'Reilly goal would sting.

          It's all just guesswork this week, so just go with your gut. I smell blood this week so I'm attacking the GW with Haaland/Guiu ➡ Ekitike/Pedro. Surely Haaland won't punish me... 😳

          With so much uncertainty around minutes and fixtures, good managers will probably roll their transfers.

          Big GW ahead! Good luck ladies, gents, talking animals, inanimate objects, club badges, & nudists.

                B - Nervous about not owning Anderson. He will return 4+, it's just a question of how much with him.

                Same dilemma

                I'm playing wilson with Andersen as first sub. Logic being that if wilson plays I think he'll get a return, but if he doesn't start he's probably not to come on as a sub anyway, in which case I reckon andersen gets some kind of return....

                Personally I don't like Bench Boosting when my squad are playing each other (unless it's in a DGW) and the Burnley v Bournemouth game would be a headache with that BB.

                That said I'm also using my BB chip this week as the teams doubling in DGW33 don't have great fixtures, and I think WC33 could be a better play to get the doublers I want rather than trying to shoehorn loads of doublers who wouldn't be ideal choices that week.

                    Sort of agree but honestly how much were you expecting of dubs anyway, 4pt with a few saves would be a great result. I would smash bb right now so i get it out of the way.

                Need to bench one:
                A. Wilson (nfo)
                B. Nunes (whu)
                C. Rogers (mun)
                D. Timber (EVE)

                  Rogers probably - worst form

                Would you start Rayan over anyone here? Possibly Cherki.. But seems pointless if Cherk was to start.

                Kelleher
                Konate - Timber - Gab
                Rogers - Semenyo - Cherki - Bruno
                Thiago - Joao Pedro - Haaland

                Dub - Rayan - Alderete - Van Hecke

                  Same dilemma. Seems mad not to start v Burnley, but not sure how reliable Rayan is

                  I'd start Rayan over Rogers.

                    That is worrying - may need to upgrade bench

                Best defender to play for the next 3 gameweeks?

                A - Konate (double up with Virgil)
                B - Hill
                C - Senesi
