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.

Only subscribers can read this article in full: Fantasy Football Scout Premium Memberships for the 2021/22 season are still available at the pre-season cost of £20.00 – but only for a little while longer.

We have given our users until the start of the September international break to sort out their subscriptions for the new campaign but this really is last-chance saloon territory, as yearly Premium Memberships will rise to the regular season price on Sunday.

      People just follow the highest previous GW scorers (>1.3m transfers in this week of Mings, James, Duffy and Tsimikas) and react to 'red' fixtures that appear on their existing team hence the Salah sales

      Sissoko is incredible on his day, and non existent for the rest of the season (NUFC fan).

      That said, if he can be bothered and plays 90 for Watford each week, great value at 4.5m.

        I have faith in my players for good run of their fixtures (until gw7).. but now feels like needless loss in value.

    Brazilian PL players dropped from international squads. Raphinha back on the menu for GW4!

    Realizing now that United have 3 out of 4 games at home from GW's 4-7....may be quite the welcome back party for CR7

      Shirt sales shouldn’t be affected either.

      I’d imagine most UTD fans won’t be able to squeeze into their old Ronaldo shirts. 🙂

    What 2 premiums are people going for out of Bruno, CR7, Salah, Kaku, Kane & Son?

    Anyone plan on accommodating 3?

        Yes, but I suspect that means no TAA?

    What event causes the most scenes around here tomorrow:
    a) Arsenal beat City 1-0 (Mari G, Odegaard A)
    b) Tsimikas starts
    c) Antonio pulls hammy in warm-up
    d) Salah RC for violent conduct

      Probably D.

      A would have almost zero effect on fantasy teams.

      B won’t score more than 2 anyway.

      C is expected to happen eventually and if it happens in warm ups at least we have a VC.

        Far too rational. And scenes around here are largely irrational... 🙂

    On wildcard. Have had many variations but think I am set on this:

    Sanchez

    TAA Shaw Rudiger

    Son Benhrama Pogba Barnes Willock

    Kane Antonio

    Subs: A. Armstrong, Livra, 4 million

    Did have Greenwood but with CR 7 coming swapped out for Barnes.

    Thought is to swap Son for Salah next week.
