Gameweek 3 - Team Reveal - Wildcard time.

Gameweek 3 - Wildcard chaos

CHANGES MAY COME CLOSER TO THE DEADLINE (Will post on X (@TheFPLStudy) if any changes come)

Over the last week, I have tinkered, a lot.

Lot's and lot's of changes. Many many thoughts and opinions.

Using wildcard this early certainly is a move and it feels a little scary, but I used it GW2 last year and that ended up pretty well.

Also planned for this, so just time to commit.

Had a lot of considerations, and think I finally fell on a team.

Chose Kinsky + Verbruggen (even if it has been poor so far) to keep the third Arsenal player open for later.

Hall + De Cuyper are both a little risky, but I like it. De Cuyper is lovely for the next 4-5 GWs. Hall is in great form.

Big fan of Gvardiol, Calafiori + Konsa are clear choices. Gamble on if Konsa starts, but I will take that risky for 4.4 million.

Midfield. Pretty much template. I chose Cherki. Hot form and see him as short term 2-5 GW punt. We will see about minutes and form.

Attack > The obvious > Haaland + Wissa + JP

Line up

Gameweek 3 - Team Reveal - Wildcard time.

Now for the line up.

I have chosen to go risky. I am going against Arsenal defence and choosing to get Palmer in instead to play on Arsenal losing the clean sheet.
This is the only thing I am still considering. I will see if I choose to change Palmer or Calafiori, but will take a short nap and see what I am feeling.

Other variations for this could be:
> Saka over Cherki

>Raya in goal with a 4.0 keeper

>Foden over Cherki

>Barry over Wissa

>Thiaw over Hall (safer minutes long term)
