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.



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.

    Is anyone going Bruno captain over Antonio and if so why?

    I feel like I need to find some allies, literally feels like Antonio (c) everywhere but gut says no

      You don't have to do what everyone else is doing.

    Demmit - bottomed!
    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

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      C for sure

    2. Pep bites Kun

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      C, though better to be in the 1st minute for those captaining him

  6. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Who do you prefer for this GW only?

    A) Salah (CHE) & Cresswell (CPL) (Livramento and Brownhill on bench)

    B) Son (WAT) & Livramento (new) (Brownhill only on bench)

    Cheers

    2. Scholes Out For Summer

      who do you think will score more points?

      1. Big dog
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Son

    3. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Son as a differential

    4. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Son

    5. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Son atm

    6. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Antonio

    7. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Son

    8. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Son.

      And I might actually be doing it before kick-off, in place of Bruno.

      1. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Good luck.

    9. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      probably son.

  8. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    bench toney or barnes or salah(yes u saw it right im considering it) ?

    1. bryant
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      toney

    2. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Bench toney

    3. TheKeitaSuccess
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      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.

  9. Michelle Davin
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    ferran or jesus to start tomorrow?

    I know,im stuck with ferran in my team..my pepe gw1 to ferran gw2 punt didnt work out.

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I dont think even Pep knows

    2. bryant
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      might be neither jesus more likely

  10. No Salah
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I hope this fires up Greenwood for GW3.

    He will try to play his best to keep his place - atleast on the wings if his form continues.

    1. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      +1

  11. Big dog
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Is captaining Barnes ridiculous?

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Not recommended. Would hate a 1 pointer from bench.

      1. Big dog
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Benched for real?

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          It's not impossible he could be benched.

          1. Big dog
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Nacho?

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Nah.

      Good fixture for him and if he scores it’s likely a double digit score he’ll get.

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      That Leeds defence is a bit iffy, go on, stick it on Ash.

  12. MGD
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez
    TAA, Shaw, Ayling
    Salah, Bruno, Gundo, Barnes, Raphina
    Ings, Antonio

    Steele, Tsimikas, White, Obafemi

    0.0 ITB but 2 FT.

    I have no transfer options... Thinking about:

    Salah -> Son?

    1. Big dog
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      WC to get him back?

      1. MGD
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Maybe, but i'm not sure.

        1. Big dog
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          It looks good short term just depends if you want Salah back for GW5 might need 2 transfers or WC

  13. The Frenchie
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    A)
    Sanchez
    TAA - Coufal - Ayling
    Salah - Benrahma - Raphinha - Gray
    Kane (Ronaldo) - Antonio - Lukaku

    B)
    Meslier
    TAA - Robertson - Coufal - Shaw
    Salah - Benrahma - Raphinha
    Kane (Ronaldo) - Antonio - Calvert-Lewin

    So basically:
    A) Sanchez / Ayling / Gray / Lukaku
    VS
    B) Meslier / Robertson / Shaw / Calvert-Lewin

  14. John Colby (Capt)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Salah -Richarlison - Raphinha owners:

    Surely with the PL statement earlier in the week these players will not travel home to play in the international window?

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      All PL players dropped from Brazil squad confirmed

      1. John Colby (Capt)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers Scholesy!

      2. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Where did you see it was confirmed ?

  15. Steinburg FC
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    How this for WC? 5.0 itb

    Sanchez, steel
    Periera, Shaw, Trent, (Coady, Livramento) Periera could play wing vs Nor
    Raphina, Sarr, Benrahma, Son, (bissuma)
    DCL, VARDY (C), Antonio.
    GW4- Ronaldo in for Vardy
    GW5- Salah in for Son

    1. billnats
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Kane instead of Vardy?

      1. Steinburg FC
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        i'm torn but as a one off punt i fancy a differential cap and best fixture for it at the moment.

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Kane is owned by less than Vardy tbf

  16. billnats
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Trying to set up to bring CR7 next GW for Kane. Which way?
    A) Ayling & Bruno
    B) Williams & Salah
    C) Cancelo & Son

  17. I Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Imagine people activate WC for Ronaldo and he gets injured on international duty.

    1. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      They still have a Wc active though

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yes but presumably the WC was for Ronaldo and wasn't necessary if he's out.

    2. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      They just slip Kane into Ronaldo shoes for a while.

  18. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Ronaldo - Lukaku - Salah - Grealish
    United, Chelsea, Pool and City coverage. Cheap defense, Raphina and Benrahma will complete the rest of the team.

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Jota over Salah and improve everywhere else and you're good

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        This

      2. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yes that isn't bad if he keep his starting spot

    2. Big dog
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Need son or kane next 2 games tho

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Rather get a City defender than Grealish, potentially.

      Shaves 2m off, too.

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        If Grealish keeps starting games I would still go far him

    4. Gingerman
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      The coverage thing is a nonsense, you go for form and fixtures.

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        It is non sense when you pick the likes of Rashford, Mount, Firmino and Torres type player from these teams and not the top scorers.

  19. bso

    Mahrez to Raphina this week. Getting ready for 8ph next week for this team. Would appreciate your comments.
    Sanchez - Foster / - VVD - Shaw - Ayling - Livra - Duffy (Tsimi for now)
    Salah - Raphina - Benrahma -Doucoure - Brownhill
    Luka - Ronnie - Antonio

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

      Gray over Doucoure

    1. bso

    1. Eh, just one more thing ...

      Jota

  24. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Esr to Raphinha for -4 (first of season)?

    Was gonna keep ESR for fixtures but now planning to activate WC straight away, and he won't be sticking around.

    I plan on probably having Raph on WC fwiw

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I'd be starting Raph over Livramento this week

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I think I’d play Livramento over ESR and taking the hit being honest

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          I do fancy a return from Liv tbh

  25. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    This is where I’m currently at. What are your thoughts?

    Sanchez
    Shaw, Reguillon, Coufal
    Bruno, Son, Raphina, Benrahma
    Kane, Dcl, Antonio

    Steele, Livramento, Bissouma, Semedo

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Excellent for now

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years

        Thanks stupendous

    2. Eh, just one more thing ...

      Lovely squad

  26. MiguelAngel
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    After a fantastically fortunate start, OR of 9,838, I’m looking for some advice please peeps.

    Sanchez
    Shaw Trent Regulion
    Salah Bruno Barnes Greenwood Benrhama
    Ings Antonio

    Steele Tsimikas White Obafemi

    Already used one FT on Veltman > Regulion.

    1FT remaining. £0.0 itb.

    A) Save FT
    B) Barnes > ?
    C) Tsimikas/White > ?

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Great rank, well played. Save ft

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

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

      2. MiguelAngel
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks bud

  27. FFSbet.com
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Would you keep Greenwood on WC now?

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

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

    2. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Not on WC

  28. Chandler Bing
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    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.

    1. Willmissudimitrypayet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      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?

      1. Chandler Bing
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I think Allan and Gilmour are the safest.

  29. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Why Gray instead of Doucore?

  30. sarnshawn
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    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?
