Unlimited Transfers
When the game relaunched, gut feeling for the unlimited transfers was to Bench Boost for FPL GW30 and then build for the rest of the season from there. However, that plan quickly changed, with the team already in decent shape for the rest of the season.? UNLIMITED TRANSFERS ?

Trying to digest all of today's news, but here's some early thoughts on how I might line up for Gameweek 30+ using those unlimited transfers…

Team Reveal
It’s been a busy week with the free hit active for FPL Gameweek 30, but I’m finally settled on a squad that I’m happy with. It comprises a full side of players with two games, in a high risk strategy, but the rewards are high.? Free Hit Team ?
