FPL 2023-24: Five transfers to make ahead of GW 2

It can be a difficult task to decide which players to transfer in or out.

A new season of the Fantasy Premier League is up and running. With the conclusion of game week one, the FPL managers will be getting their thinking caps on and considering which transfers to make to increase their chances of scoring more points.

There are plenty of favourable fixtures in the upcoming GW 2 where some key players can score a lot of points. Furthermore, the FPL managers will aim to bring in players who showed good form in the first GW and were not in their squads or transfer out players owing to injuries and bad form.

There will be one free transfer available to the managers and on top of that, they might consider taking a four-point deduction or more by making more than one transfer into their squad. As the strategising begins for the GW 2, here are five transfers, both in and out, one ought to make to improve their squad:

Bukayo Saka

Bukayo Saka opened his account in style with a thumping finish against Nottingham Forest to help Arsenal secure a 2-1 win. The winger got 10 points for his efforts as he took away three bonus points. 

Arsenal plays Crystal Palace in their upcoming contest and Bukayo Saka is a good bet for FPL managers looking to score more points. As of 16 August 2023, a total of 322247 FPL managers have already transferred him in and more are to follow suit.

Moussa Diaby

Moussa Diaby scored on his Premier League debut for Aston Villa. While the team lost the encounter by 5-1 against Newcastle United, Diaby’s performance raised a few eyebrows. The pacy attacker has been transferred in by 114752* FPL managers.

Despite his strong start to the season, Diaby is owned by only 7.7% of teams. He scored seven points and a fixture against Everton is likely to see him gun for more goals.

Joao Pedro

Brighton & Hove Albion have a new penalty taker in Joao Pedro. The striker scored through a penalty in the opening day fixture against Aston Villa and took away seven points from the game in FPL.

Brighton & Hove Albion is an in-form team and will back itself up to win the upcoming game against Wolves despite it being an away game. A total of 168174* FPL managers have already transferred him in as of 16 August 2023.

Mohamed Salah

Mohamed Salah is one of the most popular FPL targets already and more people are transferring him into their squads. The Liverpool FC attacker has seen 114408 FPL managers sign him hoping that he can replicate the opening day performance.

Mohamed Salah provided an assist against Chelsea and had a goal disallowed. He looks fresh and hungry for goals – a perfect recipe for a brilliant FPL asset. Liverpool is up against Bournemouth, a club they scored nine goals against the last time they met each other at Anfield.

Kevin De Bruyne

Kevin De Bruyne is being transferred out by the FPL managers after suffering an injury in the opening match of the season. The Belgian international is set to be out of action for up to four months because of a serious injury. 

The scores of FPL managers are transferring him out and looking for an alternative. As of writing this, a total of 638105 have already bid farewell to Kevin De Bruyne until he becomes fit again.
