GW22 PreviewGameweek 22 was a disappointing one, as my squad finished below the overall average with a total of 36 points.

The lack of attacking returns across the rest of the team proved costly, resulting in a red arrow and a missed opportunity to capitalize on favorable fixtures. FPL Gameweek 23 StrategyHeading into Gameweek 23, I’m sticking with the same 3-5-2 formation and making no changes to the squad. With several players still showing strong underlying numbers, I’m backing the team to bounce back. The key change this week is the captaincy switch to Erling Haaland, who hosts Wolves at the Etihad Stadium. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWith Manchester City’s attacking potential at home and Haaland’s proven ability to deliver big hauls, he feels like the safest and most explosive captaincy option for GW23.
