Top three transfers to target for GW3

Kevin Schade – Brentford

Kevin Schade (Brentford, £6.0m) has made an impressive start to the season with Brentford. He scored in GW2 at Leeds, and has shown strong attacking involvement with 1.1 xG already this season.

Schade offers a high ceiling as Brentford’s primary left-sided attacker, with a favourable fixture at home to Sunderland next up. For managers needing a mid-priced midfielder with haul potential, Schade is the sharp pick heading into GW3.

Yoane Wissa – Newcastle

Yoane Wissa (Newcastle, £6.1m) looks reborn this season. After a disaster debut campaign, he has scored one and assisted another so far this season, posting a total of 12 points.

Wissa also benefits from Newcastle’s excellent fixture run (no game rated above 3 in the next nine) and leads their squad in projected points over the next five gameweeks (23.3). With penalty duties likely and consistent minutes, Wissa offers both immediate and medium-term value for FPL managers.

Ezri Konsa – Arsenal

Ezri Konsa (Arsenal, £4.4m) is a budget-friendly route into Arsenal’s defence. The England centre-back moved from Aston Villa to Arsenal in the summer and is expected to start regularly in William Saliba’s absence.

At £4.4m now, Konsa offers clean-sheet potential in Arsenal’s defence while freeing up funds for premium attackers. For managers needing defensive stability and budget flexibility, Konsa is a smart pick.
