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.

      Salah has a decent record at home to the big teams though, plus you can’t be benching a premium player no matter who they’re playing. I’d probably bench Toney purely on the fact if Barnes does bag it’s a point extra, and he could also get a CS point as well.

        Or Tsimi to Livramento as a playing defender. Not sure Tsimi will be any longer.

    Would you keep Greenwood on WC now?

      Would let him play this GW and then lose him on WC.

    How serious is this Bissouma move? Had him on WC but if he's moving to Liverpool, that's a confirmed transfer down the line and one with no WC to fix it.

      Wow, good thing you asked this, I am on him on WC too.

      Playing 4-3-3 with Sissoko and Biss as bench options right now. Maybe Gilmour, McArthur, Brownhill, Alan are better options?

        I think Allan and Gilmour are the safest.

    Got 2 free transfers. How can I mix it up?

    Martinez (foster)
    Shaw, Digne, TAA, Tsimikas
    Mount, Salah, Fernandes
    Ings, Antonio, Toney
    Bench - Bissouma, Veltman, Hojbjerg

    A) Bissouma > Benrahma & Toney > 4.5
    B) Hojbjerg > Benrahma & Digne > Duffy
    C) Something cleverer?
