FPL Gameweek 5: One Free Transfer — Use It or Roll?

The short answer

Rolling is a strong default if your starting XI is healthy.

Use the transfer when:

1. you own a suspended player such as Foden;
2. it creates a major captaincy upgrade;
3. the move improves several coming Gameweeks;
4. your current starter has a clear minutes problem.

When to roll

Roll if every starter is available, you already own a strong captain and the transfer is mostly sideways.

OneFPL verdict

Do not invent a transfer because you have one. Use it for suspension, role, captaincy or a real fixture swing.

Model both options in Transfer Planner.
