On DT, I took a punt on Lo Celso who now seems to be out of favour or out the door! Weird given preseason.

Should I give it another week to see how things are shaping up, or pull the pin asap? Not much change left over is the issue.

If you want to know the likely starters, a quick squizz at https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/team-news/ is worth the minute.
Lo Celso wasn't one that was worth a punt to me, so a very leftfield pick there.

Bissouma is the same cost and give he too is a Spur, you can wait until lineups are announced and decide whether to hold GLC or transfer in Bissouma. Alternatively, if you have a good starting 11, you can use him as a loop if he's not even on the team sheet, and have another look at Bissouma. Biss seems to do better against tougher opponents, as he gets good misc pts.

Another consideration is how many transfers do you think you'll need to do in GW3?
If you think you might want 4, might have to move early.

First season playing RDT, have a question. Can I use a bye player like Kabore to loop?
Would it be possible to bring Kabore into the team if Salah my VC scores well and then make Kabore Capt?
Given Pool play before your Udogie, Stones and Chuk, you can change formation as you please after the Pool game, to bring in Kabore.

Turner, Beyer, Mubama and Botman to be benched, to help form the 11.

Should I consider selling Martinelli to a 6.5 mid (Mitoma/etc) to possibly allow Mubama to Wissa next round or would Pedro to Wissa via Martinelli to Maddison in a few rounds time be a better move?

Hey guys - my first year playing FPL and would love some direction. I've moved to London and this is my plan to get into the EPL more by starting with fantasy.

I think I went ok in GW1 - scoring 66.
Trying to work out the best approaches to strategy within FPL. I understand the basics of seeking as many players in form and scoring well to raise their prices, so I can eventually bring in more and more premium players across each line.
With that in mind, the one I feel like I don't want to miss the boat on Chilwell. I don't have the funds to get him this week.
But would a move like Trossard out and Rodrigo Hernandez in be a move that you would suggest considering that would likely afford me the money to buy Chilwell next week for likely Cash or Gabriel.

Would love any insight into how people plan transfers etc.

Also - can you reverse transfers prior to the gameweek starting or is it locked in immediately once I do it?

I reckon Bruno would go before Marti. United played crap in general, but Bruno played deeper to accommodate Mount.
If Bruno goes, then Diaby, Maddison or Mbeumo are all good options.
Mbeumo worth the extra 0.5 over Wissa as he's on PKs.
