I know it feels wrong to spend transfers immediately before a wildcard but the additional transfers in GW16 lowers their value so you could do Evanilson-> Thiago/Welbeck. Hopefully you’ll be able to stay injury free and roll straight after the wildcard.

If you’re not already in the top million you’re unlikely to have a clone in the top million after a week.

Haaland for me. Good luck!

Isn’t Haaland the best pick regardless of the Arsenal fixture?!

An easy roll. Diouf is the biggest worry but has attacking threat. I think that the value of having more information and 2 FTs outweighs an immediate move.

You’re good to go. One match doesn’t make elite picks awful.

I’m planning on having three of your four bench players in my XI so I’d go for it!

If your rank isn’t in the top million then there won’t be a GW1 clone that is in the top million.

I’m strongly considering a triple premium structure without Palmer. The big advantage is having the best captain each week without having to use transfers. There is inefficiency(£14m on Haaland), but the difference between this structure and ‘optimal’ teams is only ~5 points over eight gameweeks.

Taking into account the double points for captaincy then Bruno is best for PPM at 6.2, followed by Salah at 5.6, then Haaland at 4.4 and finally Palmer at 4.2.

FPL Fran did free hit 33 so is on an alternative strategy.

I got lucky and moved him in 21 (I had both Solanke and Mateta previously) to free up funds for the midfield. I think Wissa, Wood and JP are the best replacements (depending on who is already owned along with Isak).
