FPL expert tells managers to STOP transferring one player in ahead of gameweek two and explains why

Over 40,000 players have already made the change.

Fantasy Premier League managers have been urged to not make one decision that over 40,000 people have already made ahead of game week two.

With the Premier League finally back for the 24/25 season over one million fans have all started their quest to become the undisputed king of Fantasy Premier League.

Matchweek one resulted in a high score of 127 and an average of 57 points, with the highest scorer opting to captain Mo Salah, who proved his FPL worth yet again with a 28-point haul.

With one weekend of action down, all eyes are on the matchweek two fixtures with players already using their free transfer to make changes to their team.

However, despite being one of the highest-scoring defenders of the week, one expert has urged players to avoid transferring him in after 42,000 have already added him to their team.

@FPLfan is a fantasy football expert who makes TikTok content giving advice to his audience and has urged his viewers to NOT transfer in Pedro Porro despite his seven-point return for Spurs.

"Fantasy Premier League managers stop transferring this player into your FPL teams, 42,000 transfers in and he might be injured," he explained.

"So the reason why managers are buying Pedro Porro is because of that goal in gameweek one against Leicester City and to be honest with you he was very close to a monster haul if Spurs were to keep that clean sheet."

"However, he did limp off the pitch in the 92nd minute and was replaced by Djed Spence and to be honest with you it looked like a heavy knock and right now we have no certainty if he will be available for the weekend."

"Because of this uncertainty, you can't be buying him in your FLP team right now."

It wasn't only Porro's fitness issues that concerned the expert, as he believes Tottenham's fixtures may not be the most favourable, particularly considering their opening-day result.

"Even if he is passed fit Everton at home is fantastic, but after that Newcastle away, Arsenal at home, Man Utd away, and Brighton away, I don't really think this is a player you want to be buying," FPL fan added.
