Used to be better at FPL than I am now...
Five free transfers are there!

GW15. Taking out Sarr for the second week running (last week I did a late switch to a FH). This time for Foden. (If only I'd done that last week!)

Free hit gained me just 5 points over my original team. Oh well, at least it wasn't negative. First red arrow of the season though - one more point would have seen me get a green. Irritating.

Late decision to free hit. Only changed 4 starters, but the team felt a bit of a mess this week, and I feel there are possible gains. (Definitely not brave enough to go Salah over Haaland or anything like that!)

Been a bit quiet lately due to personal stuff going on, so not been spending much time thinking about FPL.
This week I'm gonna TC Haaland, and save the FH for a rainy day.
Used the FT on Mateta -> Thiago - chasing upside ahead of GW15's transfer reset, and I'm a bit spooked by Mateta's minutes.

Might still switch Sarr and Reijnders, but saving a transfer after using all my saved ones last week.

Lost 2 points on my supposedly improving transfers, but happy enough with a 14 point BB - thanks Dubravka.

Originally my plan was to roll to 4FT and BB, then get in Sarr and a Palace def for GW10. But this perennial Strand Larsen injury thing made me reconsider, get the Palace players in this week (can bench next week), and get (urgh) DCL for JSL.
So 3 FTs used:
Tarko -> Lacroix
Stach -> Sarr
JSL -> DCL

Strand Larsen is a nightmare, never seems to be properly fit. Might have to dump him, despite the fixtures.

fplreview seems to have got a little bit obsessed with Enzo.

Seems as if the big differences between WC6 and WC8 are Palace and Newcastle players. I'm not really that bothered about the latter, but I do have Palace envy. Can probably wait until after the Arsenal game though.

BB abandoned thanks to JSL concerns, added to those slight Gabriel doubts. If it had just been Gabriel, I'd have risked it, as think he plays.
Saving the transfer to give me 3 next week.

Current wildcard thoughts - thinking to switch Gvardiol -> Gabriel by GW9 (have 0.5 itb):

And Maresca did say Jorgensen might get some league minutes!

Thank fuck I chose to play Dubravka. Was a tight decision.

Tonight I make transfers. Still not sure if it's turning into wildcard or free hit though!

Rolling this week. Still not sure on next week, coming back round to the idea of FH. Anyway, we'll see.

Last week's hit went so well, I've taken another this week. Every transfer seems to be injury-related. Palmer, Saka, now this week JSL and Sarr. Didn;'t fancy any other mids for Sarr, so improved my defence instead.
JSL + Murillo -> Gyok + VVD (-4):

Ugh, -4 taken and still with Strand Larsen (who will likely be auto-subbed out).

Just tried solio - it wants me to do a -8 this week. Not happening.

Palmer's in basically everyone's team, so all about the bench option. Porro for me. (Worst affected are bench boosters, I guess.)

Unless there's some late news that affects things, I'll be rolling, and going with this for GW2.

52 all out - an inauspicious start, but ok enough.
Big question for me this week is Sanchez or Dubravka.
