As the deadline looms closer, it is time to decide what to do with our precious free transfer(s). Aside from playing chips or selecting a captain, our transfers are the single most important aspect of our FPL campaign, and the importance of getting it right cannot be overstated.

In this article we crunch the numbers, analyse the fixtures, take advice from the Algorithm, and decide which player to buy, which player to sell and which player to keep for Gameweek 3.

BUY: João Cancelo

• Cost: £7.1m
• Selected by: 47.9%
• Projected Points (5 GWs): 24.5

Attacking full-backs offer the best points-per-£m ratio of any position in the game. The very best defenders are priced as lower-mid-range midfielders yet offer the same level of attacking threat with additional points for clean sheets thrown in for good measure.
