• I have two free transfers available, but I might take a hit to make three. My squad has several problems heading into Gameweek 26.
• Zlatko Tripić and Alexander Warneryd are suspended, while Adrian Pereira could miss the rest of the season. Marcus Haagensen Reed is also a doubt, Heine Åsen Larsen missed the starting lineup last time, and Claus Niyukuri has lost his place at Sarpsborg 08.
• My first move will be selling Tripić for Emil Konradsen Ceïde. I’d consider keeping Tripić if I had a stronger bench, but I don’t have that luxury. I also really want Ceïde for Rosenborg’s home fixture against Start.
• Looking back, Gameweek 18 was probably the ideal time to buy Ceïde. However, Rosenborg have good fixtures for the remainder of the season, so I don’t think I’ve missed my chance.
• My second transfer will likely involve selling Pereira, unless we hear he could return after the international break. If that’s the case, I’ll sell Warneryd instead.
• Before Viking’s Champions League match, I was considering Henrik Heggheim and Kristoffer Haugen as replacements. Unfortunately, both came off during that match, leaving their availability for Sunday uncertain.
• Without positive updates before the deadline, I’ll probably avoid both. Henrik Falchener is another option, alongside Ceïde’s brother, Mikkel Konradsen Ceïde, who costs just 4.6m.
• Even after two transfers, I’m not convinced I’ll have 11 starters. Reed’s availability remains uncertain, while Larsen started the previous match on the bench. Keeping Larsen against Bodø/Glimt isn’t particularly appealing either.
• I could therefore take a four-point hit to replace either Reed or Larsen.
• I had also considered two Vålerenga attackers for their fixtures against Kristiansund and Start. However, a major illness outbreak has disrupted their preparations.
• Vålerenga’s match against Kristiansund has now been postponed from Saturday to Monday 9 November. Although the fixture has a new date, I’ll need to check how Fantasy handles the rearrangement.
• Even if the match counts towards this Gameweek, I’m reluctant to bring in Vålerenga players immediately after an illness outbreak. Their fitness and availability remain uncertain.
• Instead, I could stretch my budget to Erik Botheim. I can afford him if I choose Mikkel Konradsen Ceïde rather than a Viking defender.
• If I decide to buy a Viking defender, I’ll need to reassess my attacking options closer to the deadline.
• Overall, I’m still weighing up several possibilities, with new information arriving all the time. The only move I’m fairly certain about is selling Tripić for Emil Konradsen Ceïde.
• Captaincy is much more straightforward. Amin Chiakha has enjoyed an outstanding season since the summer break. With Rosenborg hosting Start, I have no intention of betting against him.

• More chaos this week! With Zlatko Tripić and Adrian Pereira unavailable, alongside uncertainty surrounding Marcus Haagensen Reed, I’ve decided to make just one transfer.
• Pereira makes way for Mikkel Konradsen Ceïde, keeping things relatively simple despite the problems in my squad.
• The template looks particularly strong at the moment, and Amin Chiakha remains the standout captaincy option. I’ll be giving him the armband this week.
• There isn’t much else to change. I could start Reed ahead of Odin Bjørtuft or Sondre Moen Foss if he’s fit, but I’m not too concerned either way.

• After a disastrous Gameweek, I’ve been forced to use all three of my remaining transfers. Adrian Pereira has suffered a season-ending injury, while Zlatko Tripić and Alexander Warneryd have both picked up suspensions.
• My first move is replacing Pereira with Mikkel Konradsen Ceïde. This allows me to maintain my Rosenborg triple-up ahead of their favourable fixture against a Start side battling relegation.
• Warneryd makes way for Mamour Ndiaye, who has been in excellent form recently. The move also frees up some valuable funds, allowing me to keep Tripić on the bench rather than selling him.
• Those savings have helped me upgrade Marcus Haagensen Reed to Sander Lønebu. He’s been in unstoppable form recently, scoring seven goals in his last three matches!
• Captaincy goes to Amin Chiakha, who should play a crucial role as Rosenborg push for a place in European qualification.
