Gameweek 3 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is approaching, and the Vietnamese FPL community is buzzing about one big question: should you use a chip to bring Erling Haaland into your squad? This article analyzes a strategy from an English source while providing a practical perspective for Vietnamese FPL managers.
Haaland is currently priced at £15.5 million – the most expensive player in the game. If you don't own him from the start, buying him through regular transfers is costly, potentially incurring -4 point hits. Therefore, many experts recommend using a Wildcard or Free Hit to restructure your squad immediately. However, this strategy carries several risks that managers need to consider.
First, look at the fixtures. The original article claims that Manchester City and Chelsea face Coventry and Hull at home – both Championship sides. But FPL only scores points from Premier League matches. This could be a serious data error. If this information is incorrect, the entire strategic foundation collapses. Players must verify the official fixture list on the FPL website before acting.
Second, using a Wildcard in Gameweek 3 is too early. According to experienced FPL community wisdom, the Wildcard is most valuable later in the season (December) when the schedule is congested or when the squad faces an injury crisis. Using it early means losing a crucial strategic tool for the second half of the season. Similarly, the Free Hit should be reserved for Blank Gameweeks or Double Gameweeks – not Gameweek 3.
Another weakness is over-concentration on two teams. Heavy investment in Manchester City and Chelsea unbalances the squad. Haaland consumes 15.5% of the £100 million budget. If he is rotated by Pep Guardiola or gets injured, it becomes very difficult to pivot. History shows Guardiola frequently rotates his squad in easy home games ahead of Champions League ties. Chelsea is also in a transitional phase, with inconsistent form.
The original article also recommends using the Free Hit to avoid the Arsenal vs Chelsea match, instead targeting Brighton, Newcastle, and Brentford. This is reasonable advice if you hold multiple Chelsea players. But again, using the Free Hit early reduces future flexibility.
So what should Vietnamese FPL managers do? Instead of rushing to use chips, consider the following options: - If you already have Haaland, keep him. If not, don't panic. There are many gameweeks ahead. - Utilize value players from other teams like Liverpool (Salah), Arsenal (Saka), or Tottenham (Son) – names omitted from the original article. - Monitor team news closely before each gameweek, especially Guardiola's press conferences. - Save your Wildcard and Free Hit for when they are truly needed, such as during Double Gameweeks in January or February.
Conclusion: The strategy of using chips early to acquire Haaland may yield short-term gains, but the long-term risks are significant. Be a smart manager: rely on data, not on following the crowd.
