Transcripts

FPL game week three my team selection

again we've got issues in my team I

still own Christopher and kungu so in

today's video we're going to have a look

at some potential transfers some

potential Replacements and my lineup

including captaincy and who I'm going to

bench going into game week

[Music]

3 what is up everyone FP Harry here

before we dive in 1,000 likes is the aim

subscribe if you are new around here as

well and today we're having a look at my

gameweek 3 team selection but just

before we do that let's have a look how

the first couple of game weeks have gone

for me so gameweek 2 I scored 80 points

which was just above the safety score

for me so the safety score is taken from

live f.net and basically it's what I

need to not change ranks so anything

above it I should be getting a Green

Arrow and anything below it I'll be

getting a red arrow so just a small

green arrow for me up from about 707k up

to 606k pretty decent start to the

season of course a green arrow is a

green arrow maybe I would have hoped for

a little bit more given that Harland did

score a hat-trick as my captain but I

know so many people captained him and

some of you triple Captain him as well

if you did triple Captain him let me

know what your overall score was this

week did any of you manage to break the

100 Point barrier with a Harland triple

captain or some of you might have done

it even without that Smith row again

coming in with a nice return very happy

that I've gone with him for the start of

the season and then it was the defense

really for me coming in clutch we did

have sacka returns and jot but it really

was Robinson porro and Trent getting the

big returns from me I did bench

Gabrielle but given that all three of my

starting Defenders also got a return I

can't massively be too concerned about

that I probably should have considered

starting Gabrielle over a minute's RIS

liking kungu but I did think he would

start probably in gameweek two and that

was my major issue chriswood also with a

blank and then we have Alexander isach

as well those two I've said I'm going to

monitor over the next couple of week at

time recording notti and Forest is still

trying to buy a striker but nothing has

been agreed let's keep an eye on

Newcastle as well CU they know they like

to score goals against Spurs who they

play this week so it really is in kungu

that I'm looking to transfer out I do

have my eye on Cole Palmer as well and a

new goalkeeper because Henderson and

Crystal Palace just don't look at it at

the

moment so having a look at those

potential Midfield transfers and I've

spoken about these in my transfer plans

video earlier on in the week things have

changed very slightly though so I still

like eay at the moment he's been

predicted to fall in prize for all of

the last three nights I'm recording this

on Wednesday evening so there's a chance

that he'll fall in prize tonight but enu

is also getting closer and closer to a

second prize drop if we get to the point

where in kinku is predicted to drop in

price for a second time and E hasn't

already I'll have to look at other

options I still favor e as the best

option although I would probably bench

him in game week three against Chelsea

and bring him in for Leicester at home

in game week four onwards but I do still

like Kim's got a goal and assist in the

cup um qualifiers on Tuesday evening

that was against Norwich I understand

that but I still like him as an option

his online data is really strong despite

not getting any um actual return so I'll

still keep an eye on the as a price drop

and if he is to drop in priz before Inu

is predicted to drop for a second time

then I'll be able to make the transfer

cuz I've only got 0.5 in the bank so I

do need e to go to 6.9 now if I decide

that I well I can't make that transfer

there are a few other routes that I do

look at the first of which is just

making that sideways move to Mad way I

do think he should start of course let's

keep an eye on the Chelsea fish on

Thursday evening where I don't think

madw will start and he should be in line

to start in game week three at home to

Crystal Palace I did tweet to be fair

going into the start of the season if we

were sure of minutes for madw I thought

he'd be a good option and we weren't

sure of his minutes but I do feel like

after a hat-trick you can be pretty sure

of his minutes again let's see what

happens on Thursday evening for Chelsea

but I do like having a piece of that

Chelsea attack for those next five

fixtures and maybe it's just replacing

one Chelsea player with another of

course mad has already gone up in price

but I do have the money in the bank to

go and do it and then the other third

option I did have momer in here with

Brighton but I've actually gone with

minte at a cheaper price his online data

is also really strong picked up assist

in game week 1 didn't get anything in

game week two but that was against

Manchester United again it would offer

me a way to bench him in gameweek three

which is the plan if I went with e

anyway because I have a pretty strong

lineup who I don't want to bench players

from in gameweek three anyway so I could

go with M this week avoid the price drop

on on kungu and it would allow me to

bank a little bit more money there are a

couple of other transfers which we'll

talk about which I do like if which I

would like to do which I could only do

if I freed up the money with a Min

rather than going with an e or inku

which leave me with virtually nothing in

the bank so e is my number one probably

at the moment I do like madw if I want a

bit of Chelsea m is definitely third in

the packing order but I do like what the

money that would free up could do for my

team so just having a look at a couple

of other potential transfers the first

of which is sorting out my goalkeeper

position in Henderson at the moment at

time recording Mark Gay hasn't

officially moved to Newcastle but there

still is rumors of that and if that was

to happen even the green fixures here of

Leicester and Everton in the next four I

don't massively feel confident of a

clean sheet the one that I really look

at that I've spoken about I don't think

I'm going to go all the way up to David

ryer quite yet he probably is one that

I'll review when I play my Wild Card

which I haven't fully decided when I'm

going to play that either it could be

game week six could be game week 8 or I

could even save it till later is

Martinez of Aston Villa I really like

those fixures I don't plan on making a

defensive transfer anytime soon in order

to be able to go and buy a conza or a

pal Torres or any of their Defenders so

Martinez could be a pretty solid route

into that now I don't using a transfer

on goalkeepers at any point let alone 3

weeks into the season but looking at

their fixures over the next four if

Aston Villa kept one or two clean sheet

that's probably more than I expect from

Crystal Palace so I do expect it to pay

off over the next four but actually if

you look at the longer term fixures over

the next six eight game weeks Aston

Villa have a really really nice run so I

do back Aston Villa to keep more clean

sheets than Crystal Palace so that's

partly why the money in the bank that

I've got Now is really useful and of

course if I moved for e or mad I

wouldn't have enough money in the bank

to go and upgrade Henderson to Martinez

so again the M route might not look

perfect for a direct replacement but it

allows me to upgrade elsewhere the other

move is probably not for gameweek three

it would probably be a gameweek four

transfer if I don't go madw we'll be

doing sacker up to Cole Palmer I do

think Co Palmer looked fantastic for

Chelsea playing centrally he's sort of

involved in absolutely everything that

Chelsea are doing and of course Arsenal

have two difficult games in there they

go away to Spurs and Away to Manchester

City whilst chse have a very good run

theyve got Bournemouth in there they've

got West Ham of course Palace they've

got this week as well so given I've only

got two fre transfers this week and if I

wanted to do Min and the goalkeeper I

wouldn't do the sacka to Pala move this

week and it's definitely not a l it's a

luxury transfer it's definitely not

essential but it might be something I

can convince myself to do going in

gameweek four because of the fixures

that Chelsea have compared to that of

Arsenal and maybe I'm being biased and

maybe it's just reactionary but I feel

like Palmer feels a bit more explosive

where saaka bite be a little bit more

consistent this

season so having a look at the lineup

and the plan at the moment so as much as

I do look at Martinez I'm not sure I

want to force a goalkeeper transfer

going into gameweek three it's still a

possibility but I don't think it's

likely to happen because of who I expect

the replacement to be for inku so if I

did decide to go M then I probably would

make the second transfer but at the

moment I don't think m is the one that

I'm likely to go with so Henderson is

likely to say and of course we've got

Matthews their back up on the bench and

it does look like Johnson of Crystal

Palace is going to make make a move to

wolves so there will be the first and

second choice of Crystal Palace in my

lineup into defense I have a slight

benching headache of course Johnson is

going to stay on the bench despite

looking quite good and getting attack

and return in gameweek two he does have

Fulham but he is going to sit on my

bench alongside Pedro porro now porro

has had returns in both the first two

games and I'm very happy I went with him

but he now goes away to Newcastle and

then plays against Arsenal so I am

potentially benching him for the next

two weeks and in favor of going with

Gabrielle who I regret benching now I am

of course St Trent it is Robinson versus

Pedro porro I switch away or Newcastle

away and I know on paper the fit is much

better for Fulham but Spurs look pretty

good and Pedro por is playing so far

forward just at the moment I am favoring

going with Robinson out of the two but I

do think it's pretty close and it's not

impossible that they change by the

deadline but at the moment I think I'm

about 75% that I will start Robinson

into Midfield so I do have Inu on the

bench at the moment and I've currently

gotten kunu in the graphic just because

I don't want to put e in there because I

know people will comment saying Harry

you can't afford to go to E so I still

do plan on going to e if e does drop in

priz before the deadline I also do have

my eye on Mad way a little bit if I

don't want to force the sacka to Palmer

route in next week's transfer then I do

want a little bit of Chelsea for the

upcoming fixtures so I do quite like mad

but I think it's about 70% chance that

if a does drop that that's where I'll go

so that's why I've gotten kungu in the

graphic because I technically can't

afford it at time recording if it drops

on Wednesday evening then I will be able

to afford it um then we're going win the

starting lineup we're going with sakur

and going with J we're sticking with

those a few people have messaged me

because kza looks like he's going to be

signing for Liverpool that I think

that's just been given the here we go

about 5 minutes before recording this

video and that looks great for Liverpool

but I don't think it massively impacts

jot Kaza will naturally be a Winger and

I think it impacts Lis Diaz who was in

my plans for a potential double up but

I'm not sure that will 100% be the case

as my transfers if they do sign Kaza

just adds a little bit of rotation in

there so I'm happy with jot I'm happy

with sacka at the moment of course I am

looking at Co Palmer and then I plan on

starting both Rogers and Smith row

Rogers is just playing in the 10 he's

playing as a second Striker alongside

Watkins they do have a very decent

fixture in gameweek three and if I'm not

going to start him here I'm not sure

when I am going to start him of course

if I go e away at Chelsea that's pretty

close as well with e being on set pieces

on penalties and stuff like that but I

think I am just going to favor having a

piece of that Aston Villa attack who I

do expected to do well and Rogers is

playing almost 90 minutes in every game

so I'm happy with that and then we're

going with Smith Rose Smith row again

scored last week he is taking his chance

as well he's not playing in enough

minutes to make me feel fully

comfortable in it but his minutes are

getting slightly more every single week

so with IP switch this week again he is

going to be starting for me and with Inu

whether it's m whether it's e they'll

likely be on my bench if I do decide to

go with Mada though I probably would end

up benching Rogers out of that Midfield

then we're going up front of course no

transfers here I'm happy with them for

this week a lot of them with home games

and then Haren going away so e back with

his picture against Spurs and then we've

got Chris Wood I really need Chris Wood

to get something for me this week

against that wolves team who've just

conceded all those goals to Chelsea

fingers crossed there still a bit

rattled and hopefully Chris Wood can get

on the score sheet again and then is

earling Harland up front C's wide open

for me I have been really impressed with

Brighton in the first couple of games

though so based on that sakur is going

to get the vice captaincy with harand

getting the captaincy if Brighton had

been a bit weaker in the first couple

maybe I'd consider the sack Captain a

little bit more and actually West Ham

haven't been that bad either but I do

think Harland is in red hot form at the

moment he's finishing his chances well

City are creating chances and I'm a big

fan of svho as well out on that Wing

feeding earling harand chances so this

is the lineup at the moment of course

I've got two free transfers and I am

just waiting for that a price drop to

probably decide on that's what transfer

I'm going to make of course I will

confirm close to the deadline once I do

decide on what transfer I'm going to

make let me know what you do would you

just go mad way K or do you feel like

it's just a knej reaction based off a

hattick and that he might get better of

the weekend of course Chelsea do play

again on Thursday evening so if you are

looking to sell inku or you are looking

to buy mad keep an eye on the minutes

that they play on Thursday evening again

if there's something else are you

selling Henderson again goalkeepers have

been a nightmare for us at the start of

FPL last year and it looks like we're

all doing just the same again this year

as well anyway thank you so much for

watching drop any questions you have on

the video down below any questions about

your team any thoughts about my team as

well again let me know if you did go

with the triple captaincy on earling

Harland in gameweek 2 as well thank you

so much for watching 1,000 likes is the

aim have a great rest of your week and

I'll be back again very soon
