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?

Rodri is a holding midfielder and usually doesn't score well. He's just had a lucky start to the season. He can't sustain this form.
Many have an 8th attacker that costs only 4.5. They usually don't score well, but they minimise the value left on the bench.
As Trossard doesn't look like starting, he should go for a 4.5. Pick one from a team you're not likely to want 3 players from.
Maybe Nakamba given he's too good for LUT. Should start every game he's fit (and not suspended).
Gabriel has all of a sudden fallen out of favour. No one saw that coming. Maybe he'll start now that Timber was injured, but then Tomiyasu came on after the injury, and he's a RB (covered LB). Zinchenko is usually in that position, and he's due back from injury soon.
Chilwell is a good long term prospect, so might be worth taking a hit and getting him in now. He has a good fixture, and could even repay the cost this week. He's also likely to go up in price again between now and next week, and all units are precious in the early stages.
