Introduction
This is part 3 of the FPL managers who contribute to the FFGeek site with good histories who show their teams each week. This will give people a feel for what other managers are doing. It’s a fairly informal thing with no obligation on anyone and these teams may change at anytime before the deadline without further notice. It won’t cover transfers in real time either. It’s just to give an idea of the trends for the week no more. The teams are shown as their “final-ish” teams so they could change. Where they have twitter accounts I have shown this and they may update them there or on our Slack Channel which is part of our subscription Patreon site but this is not guaranteed

This is an update from an article earlier in the week
Update:
I don’t plan to bench boost in GW25 given Cavani is probably out. I don’t plan to WC in GW25 given that my team appears to be strong for the next few weeks and the GW26 double fixtures have not been announced yet. If the GW26 double fixtures are released late on Friday I don’t think I’ll rush through a WC unless the GW26 fixtures are very different to what is currently predicted. Also, I’ll be playing golf.
Here’s my team. I toyed with the idea of putting the triple captain on Bamford but I’ll probably not go this way
Transfer summary: Soucek to Raphina and Calvert Lewin to Ings
Here’s the team with transfers complete:
Rob Cosgrove
Rob’s last 4 seasons overall rank were 64k, 45k, 40k and 23k
GW24 points: 99-4 (FPL average 61) Total points: 1,370, Overall Rank: 1,437k, green arrow: 300k Team Value: £104.4m
Rob has used his Free Hit Chip
Another good week and green arrow! My last minute replacement of DCL was Barnes of Burnley who scored in the second game which was a nice differential for my team. He also has West Brom next so expecting another good score from him there. Disappointed my other major differential of Digne only got an assist and 5 points across both games, he’s definitely on my out list now.
My plans for this week are unknown due to the lack of concrete information. I really thought the fixtures would have been released by now for DGW26 but because they are not at the time of writing this, I am reluctant to wildcard. My team looks pretty set for this gameweek anyway so I will probably roll the transfer, which would give me 2 FTs going into GW26. I could then have a ‘mini wildcard’ for next week when we have more information and bring in 3 or 4 players for a hit and therefore saving my wildcard.
The only transfer I was tempted by this week was Antonio for Ings. If I did that I would have a massive bench dilemma because I like all my attackers this week, plus he faces Chelsea in his first game and Southampton struggle at home against defensive teams (lost 1-0 VS Villa and Man City, drew 0-0 VS West Ham).
The weakest player this week for me is Coufal, but with Spurs playing in Budapest on Thursday could they be tired for this weekend? The alternatives are Digne or Holding who both have tougher fixtures so I’ll just keep him in and hope for the best!
Captain for me will be Jack Harrison. A complete differential captain choice but he plays twice and has looked in good form recently (minus the half time sub against Arsenal!). All the focus seems to be on Bamford and Raphinha so Harrison could slip under the radar and provide a massive rank boost which is must needed for my team!
Transfer Summary: probably rolling the transfer
Captain: Jack Harrison
Here’s the team assuming no transfers are made:
