FPL GW30

Don't buy don't sell

The preview will be relatively short this week, as the strategy this week is to postpone your decisions if you can. Basically, unless you have problems fielding a team, you should likely roll your transfers. If you have 5 FTs, marginal improvements can be made or setting up for potentially being lucky and able to skip the WC32. That would for most teams mean bringing in Newcastle assets, as they are very likely to double in GW33 along with Arsenal. Most teams are already filled with 3 Arsenal players, which means bringing more in is not possible.

Issues this week is around Haaland and Salah, where we cannot be completely confident of a starting place and 90 minutes for either. They are the best captains this week, but due to the uncertainty around playing time, Bruno is definitely also in the mix for captaincy.

Some have looked at Haaland to Salah especially with Tottenham having issues fielding defensive players and looking very poor recently, but due to the uncertainty I see this as a "don't buy, don't sell" week for those players.

In general, this gameweek has very few players that are "sells" and simultaneously with most of us looking to possibly wilcard in GW32, there are not really any must buys with two amazing fixtures coming up. Bournemouth and Fulham are the two teams facing Burnley in the next two, but their other fixture is not really amazing.

If you are to make any changes to your team this week, then you should prioritize getting rid of players that do not play in GW31 - even if it looks like you can field 11 players in GW31, you can always get hit by injuries/suspensions/surprise benchings for those, and free transfers are precious in the future with the current information.

Team selection

I will roll my 3 FTs this GW and expect to roll to 5 FTs in GW31. Team is generally looking very good this week, which will surely mean a red arrow coming my way!

Salah captains the side.

Good luck everyone!
