Gameweek 4.0- Preliminary Picks
With the Manchester Derby this upcoming matchday, I'm very excited for this coming weekend and hoping this squad can deliver!
Formation and Strategy:
Going into this coming gameweek, I've switched to a 4-3-3. With my bench having one player who's no longer in the league, a knock, and Kyle Walker.... I've put the best foot I have forward.
I'm really hoping Pep isn't following this blog just to see when he can play/bench Rodri just to spite me. Per usual, in the spirit of Her FPL Update, we're just gonna hit and hope!
Transfers:
This week I thoroughly debated on using my Free Hit, especially with international break giving me plenty of time to mess with my squad. Alas, work kept me busy and the time flew by, so I'm grateful to have just made my transfer early last week to return to today.
This being said, the only change to this squad has been transferring Milenkovic out for Marc Guehi.
This transfer has put 4.8M in my bank, and I've got 5 more transfers planned.
Hopes and Dreams:
I've captained Semenyo once again this week, we'll see where that goes!
Long term I'm hoping to sharpen my bench a bit for bench boost purposes!
Chips:
Still sitting on my chips. Last week I proposed a plan to Free Hit around GW5, which might still be the plan! I'm thinking of pushing my wildcard for a bit later on, I'm hoping to triple captain around gw6 and bench boost when I've reached the hope/dream of getting the bench a bit hotter.
Leagues:
YouTuber's league: If I thought GW2 was bad, GW3 was by far worse. I went from 72,662 to 85,939th place. Yeeesh.
Tumblr league: Crawled my way up to 13/20th place and hoping to keep climbing this week!
Battle of the exes: Second place standing with a 24 point difference, I'm eager to close the gap.
Uni Derby: Another second place standing with a much more significant 43 point difference between me and homie. Still no trash talk from him, luckily, but man oh man I would have.
Bestie Derby: My favorite league (I'm incredibly biased) I'm sitting in first place with a 12 point lead and hoping to widen it. She took a bit of inspiration from my squad while wildcarding, but looking ahead of GW4, she's got 3 players with knocks, 1 player transferred out of the league, and a bench of non-starters, so this week I might have a lead that rivals my negative point differences.
Check back Saturday for updates on the main squad and check up on my six-a-side squad for the FPL Challenge here. Keep an eye out for a post describing my proposed player spotlights, and tomorrow's edition of Footy Asks Friday. Until Saturday, stay sunny!
