DECIDE BETWEEN TWO PLAYERS
Most transfer questions are really a choice between two names. Put any two side by side — price, form, fixtures, projected points and the model's verdict — on the compare board. For the rest of the GW3 calls, see the GW3 captain, GW3 differentials and tonight's price moves.
TRANSFER QUESTIONS
Who should I transfer in for FPL Gameweek 3?
Onside's top transfer target for Gameweek 3 is Gibbs-White (NFO, £7.9m), projected 4.9 points. Targets are ranked by expected points from the model rather than by recent form or by how many other managers are buying.
Is it worth taking a -4 hit in FPL?
Only when the incoming player is projected to out-score the outgoing one by more than four points across the gameweeks you plan to hold him — which usually means a multi-week fixture swing or a replacement for a player who cannot play at all, not a one-week punt. A hit taken to chase last week's haul is the most common way managers lose rank.
How many free transfers can you save in FPL?
You bank one free transfer per gameweek up to a maximum of five — up from the old limit of two. Anything beyond your banked free transfers costs four points each. A Wildcard or Free Hit gives you unlimited transfers for that gameweek without spending a free transfer, but after a Wildcard your free-transfer count resets to one the following gameweek, so banked transfers are not carried through it.
When should I make my GW3 transfer?
The Gameweek 3 deadline is Friday 4 September at 18:30 UK time. Buying early captures a price rise but commits you before the Friday press conferences; waiting until the final hours gives you confirmed team news at the cost of any rise. If the player is rising tonight and you are certain of him, buy early — otherwise wait for the manager to speak.
Who is the most transferred in player this gameweek?
Cherki (MCI, £7.6m) is the most bought player of Gameweek 3 so far, with 334,415 transfers in. High net transfers in push a player towards a price rise, but they are a measure of what other managers are doing, not of what the player is projected to score.
Should I sell an injured player in FPL?
If he is ruled out for more than one gameweek and you have a free transfer, yes — a player who cannot play scores nothing, and holding him usually costs more than the transfer does. If he is a one-week doubt and you have cover on your bench, holding is normally cheaper than a hit.
More on the mechanics: when to take a hit and how many transfers you can roll.
