Team Reveals

FPL team reveals: Who I’m replacing Kostas Tsimikas with for Gameweek 3

Five-time top 1k FPL finisher Tom Freeman on Calvert-Lewin, Wolves and his Gameweek 2 plans

Ahead of Gameweek 3, I have two free transfers and £0.5m in the bank.

The graphic below shows how I’m currently set up prior to making any transfers, and as you can see, I need to prioritise a defensive move to ensure I have four starters. 

I’d also like to have two frees for the international break, so any further adjustments will have to wait. 

So, onto my transfer then.

      Welcome home, @Cristiano

    SCENESSSSSSSSSSSSS

    It’s official, he is back.

    Good for football that Ronaldo is going back to United & not to City.

    It's not dead, yet...

  5. R.C.

    Cmon FPL price him in right away!

    1. Zimo
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Would be nice to see how much I need to get him in

  6. Agger
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kane as a placeholder is essential

  7. Ci Siamo

    Do you remember this similar time last year when Bale was confirmed back to Spurs and then they went and destroyed Southampton away

    Could we see a similar boost from United against Wolves from the sheer moral boost of a world class player joining them?

    its official. i have never seen such a mad transfer window in my life

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Because two old men took nice paydays?

      1. BigRedRom
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yes, partly that

    There are a lot of big golden boot contenders now this season with Lukaku, Salah, Kane and Ronaldo standing out and I'm sure there will be others that are in with a shout towards the end like Ings and Antonio (fitness pending). Ronaldo could benefit a lot from likely having a pretty free role up top with limited defensive responsibilities, Lukaku is a focal point for Chelsea going forward, Kane may be required to drop deep less than under Mourinho leaving him with more scope for goals than assists, and Salah is Salah. Funny thing is even though Ronaldo won't properly start until GW4/5 he might not even be far behind the other main contenders with Kane and Lukaku starting late too and Salah only scoring once so far (unless one of them has a big weekend).

    Bye bye Bruno!
    Let’s go CR7! Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

  11. Rbyrne95

    3 years, 2 months ago

    What to do with Mahrez? Is he going to start? 1FT and no decent bench options.

    Debated swapping for Grealish, pogba/greenwood, Raphina or even Traore to get more funds.

  12. Darzinho

    Who would you sell of Tsimikas or Bertrand and who would you replace him with?

    Sanchez Bachmann
    Coufal Tsimikas Shaw Bertrand Amatey
    Salah Son Greenwood Sarr Smith-Rowe
    Vardy, Ings, Antonio

    Cheers.

    GOAT is coming back to the EPL

    1. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      David Dunn?

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Didn't he go to PSG?

  14. R.C.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bruno up all night calling Ronaldo, therefore a lack of sleep, therefore a poor captaincy option vs wolves

    Son (C)

    1. fc_skrald
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bruno want to still have the penalties?

    2. Ci Siamo
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Up all night tonight and not tomorrow

  15. Zimo
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Ronaldo is back

  16. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What are people’s thoughts on Bruno with Ronaldo in the team? Better for him or worse? Might not be on penalties?

    1. Rainer
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Worse.

      Might? 😆 Ronaldo is on pens.

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Ronaldo able to play 90 every week though? All pens is more what I meant.

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Probably loses pens, wait and see for me, not going to rush him out

    3. Icyrx8
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Thought worse at first, but with more quality up front it should see his assists go up. Someone else to aim for on free kicks and even during open play.

    4. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Will be worse for every other player at Utd.

    5. jack88
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      previous season, cavani, rashford, bruno shared the points. this year ronaldo, bruno, greenwood. basically same

      1. circusmonkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Glad you think Greenwood still gets to play. Let's hope you are right!

    6. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Definitely worse. Not worth 12m.

  17. Rainer
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Ronaldo eligible for GW3? 😮

    1. R.C.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No he's in Lisbon for the IB

      1. Rainer
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Booooooooooooo

  18. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What price will ronnie be?

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      12 mil

    2. Rainer
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      12.5m or 13m

    3. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      12.5...

      1. Budgies
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        No way will he be £12.5….£13m min.

    4. The Big Fella
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I did this yesterday and got a lot of replies if you want to check my history. That was when we all thought he was going to City though.

  19. Dakers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Wow - CR7 returns

  20. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I just realised I done Salah out last night to Bissouma to catch Bissoumas rise and then realised that Salah is actually 12.6 and not 12.5 ffs

    1. R.C.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Newb

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Noob
        But yeah, stupid mistake

    2. Pedersen
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Don't go chase every price rises mate....

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I wasn’t settled on having Salah anyway so makes no difference now I’ll just go that route and I did plan on Bissouma being my 5th mid. Salah blank this week will be a drop anyway

  21. R.C.

    Bye, bye Bruno Fernandes the fantasy asset

    1. Steve The Spud

      Because a chess player said so

      1. Jonjo Shall_We? (Flowers - …
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        So?

      2. Bob B
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        He's a pretty clever chap and I think we all have similar thoughts

    2. Pedersen
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It all depends if cr7 or Bruno will take penalties...

  22. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    This fpl season is going to be interesting

    There is going to be some weeks where your on 2 premiums that blank and the others go off big !

    1. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Gonna be some huge highs and horrible lows... buckle up!

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It's great! Thought Lukaku and Kane would break up the template a bit but this will just smash it, apart from GW4-7 probably where nearly everyone will get Ronaldo immediately and in what will become a template manner I'm guessing. But after that it's gonna be wild

  23. Dannyb

    If United now go in for Bissouma then the dream transfer window is completed.

  24. Vpan
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Penaldo back not good for Penaldes...

  25. Siva Mohan
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    now Pep will get Haaland ..

    1. Thanos
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Only reason Utd is putting up with Ole is because he can sway Halaand to United

      1. fantasyfog
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Good enough reason right there

    2. Zimo
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Pep will leave a year after getting him

  26. Jonjo Shall_We? (Flowers - …

    RIP Bruno 'essential' Fernandes

    1. PartyTime
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Adios Penaldes.

      Penaldo back on the menu

  27. Booty
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Im currently on a WC. Would i be crazy to do Bruno to a 4.5 so I can have 8.0 ITB and do my 4.5 FWD -> Ronaldo (12.5?) on a free transfer next GW?

    1. jack88
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      not crazy

    2. joey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Makes sense. Without penalties Bruno is a complete waste of money at 12m

    3. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not crazy

    4. Capitan_K
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Kane?

  28. Offside Trapattoni
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    As a Juve supporter I can attest he's still performing at a very high level.

    Unlike the City rumor he goes into Ole's XI and will be on pens and free kicks. 12m same as Bruno?

  29. OptimusBlack

    Burno > Son C
    Noooooooope
    Yay Why not

    Viva Rinaldooo.. Yesterday this time as a Utd fan it was terrifying.. What a rollercoaster of emotions during 24 hours.
