FPL 2025/2026 GW3 Strategy & GW2 Review: Red Arrow - Palmer Dilemma

Hi FPL Enthusiasts, 

       Scored 47 points with captain Salah earning one assist and a red arrow in game week 2. Four players, including the captain, delivered. Esteve secured a clean sheet, Van Dijk earned two defensive points, and Joao Pedro contributed with one goal, two assists, and maximum bonus points. Dubravka and Van de Ven remained on the bench, each with 6 points.

The FPL game week didn't go well again. For the second consecutive time, Salah delivered returns in the final minutes of the match. Pedro was outstanding. The bench points were disappointing. Wirtz failed to score again, and Palmer didn't play (marked with a yellow flag). Below is my team before making any transfers.

I should think about Palmer. If he doesn't play, I'm considering Kudus, Semenyo, Newcastle and Manchester United midfield players. Utd will play against Burnley and this can be a chance for them. Wirtz might also be out, and I might transfer in Gakpo. I have two free transfers. Salah😀 is my captain for now, with Pedro as vice-captain. The captaincy could easily switch to a United player. We'll see.

    Here are some suggestions for game week 3:

MCI: Haaland / Reijnders

LIV:  Salah / Ekitike / Gakpo

MUN: Cunha / Dorgu / Bruno Fernandes / Mbeumo

CHE: Palmer(??) / Joao Pedro / Cucurella

NEW: Barnes / Elanga

AVL : Watkins

EVE: Tarkowski / Grealish

TOT: Kudus / Van de Ven / Porro

NOF: Wood / Neco Williams / Sels

BRE: Thiago

Good Luck ! and stay healthy.
