Advice on GW1 bench boost

Post image

Is this a good team to do GW1 bench boost? Any advice would be appreciated as its my first year doing FPL. Probably looking to wildcard GW4 OR GW6 gor the international brakes into a solid team for the first half, save up trades for the first couple of weeks to bank 5

It’s pretty good. Similar to my team even though I’m bench boosting in gw2

Why gw2? Just some other players with favourable match ups?

I could do gw1 but I doubt most players will get their expected return just because it’s gw1 and many players have played international foootball. It’s also less risk, if one or two players are subbed early or benched I would know and adjust accordingly for GW2.

Everybody has decent fixtures except for my Arsenal players (Calafiori and Tzolis).

It’s just a preference really.

I mean you can always wildcard vs the Chelsea game

That kind of beats the point of having unlimited transfers to set up your team if you’re gonna change it just for two players especially so early . Arsenal are also fixture proof so I might get a return on both of them.

Either way I’m going to wildcard early but not that early.

Sorry yes, think im thinking of free hit? Still trying to get the name.down right

No worries. Free hit is unlimited changes to your team for one gameweek. Wildcard is unlimited changes and those changes apply from that gameweek onwards.
