FPL GW28 tips: The best players to buy in FPL GW28
Before we get into our GW28 FPL transfer tips and strategy, let’s take a look at some of the most popular transfers FPL managers are making this week:
We can see what FPL managers are trying to do with the players they are buying this gameweek. We can see that they’re trying to buy players who feature in GW28 and also double in gameweek 29.
It’s a pretty good strategy because it has the long-term in mind and it also puts your team in a good place this gameweeek and the next gameweek.
1. FPL GW28 tips and transfer strategy: the best goalkeeper to buy gameweek 28
Well, we know that very few FPL managers use their free transfer to buy a goalkeeper. However, this week you might want to reconsider.
The reason for this is that there are a couple of solid goalkeeper picks out there that you might want to get into your FPL team this gameweeek, or you might be looking for a goalkeeper that you’d want to have on your bench in case of a GW29 bench boost.
If that’s the case, you might want to consider the likes of:
- Raya – £4.8m – 13.7% – GKP / BRE
- Arrizabalaga – £4.7m – 8.8% – GKP / CHE
- Steele – £3.9m – 0.7% – GKP / BHA
- Pope – £5.4m – 20.9% – GKP / NEW
The same three goalies we had on our list in GW27, are the same ones we’d be recommending in GW28. Once again these goalies are cheap FPL assets who feature in blank gameweek 28 and double in GW29.
The only player that doesn’t feature in blank gameweek 28, is Steele of Brighton – we recommend transferring him in only if you have a first-choice goalie who has a game in gameweek 28.
Steele is a goalkeeper that’d be a nice player to have if you’re bench boosting in GW29. Nick pope is another good option you can go with this gameweek if you have the funds to facilitate the move.
2. FPL GW28 tips and transfer strategy: the best defenders to buy gameweek 28
In terms of defenders, there are three teams that you should be looking to target in GW28 and they are:
- Chelsea
- Newcastle
- Arsenal
These are the three teams that you should be looking to get defenders from. The team you should prioritize however is Chelsea and Newcastle since they double in gameweek 29. It won’t be a bad strategy to have double Newcastle defenders this gameweek.

3. FPL GW28 tips and transfer strategy: the best midfielders to buy gameweek 28
In terms of the best FPL midfielders to own in GW28, there are three that we’ve got as essentials and they are:
- Maddison – £8.1m – 4.9% – MID / LEI
- Ødegaard – £7m – 37.5% – MID / ARS
- Almirón – £5.4m – 22.9% – MID / NEW
These are the three midfielders that we think you should own this gameweek and it’s because two of these have great fixtures in GW28 and then double in GW29, so owning them won’t affect much of your planning.
You don’t necessarily need to go for Odegaard, if you have any Arsenal midfielders this gameweek then you should hold onto them. You can also go with double Arsenal midfielders this gameweek, that’s another pretty good strategy.
If you have the likes of Salah, Rashford and Mitoma you shouldn’t sell them because these players would be essential for gameweek 29.
4. FPL GW28 tips and transfer strategy: the best forwards to buy gameweek 28
The best FPL forwards to have now and in the long term are:
- Iheanacho – £6.2m – 1.9% – FWD / LEI
- Toney – £7.7m – 33.1% – FWD / BRE
- Kane – £11.7m – 38% – FWD / TOT
- Watkins – £7.3m – 9.8% – FWD / AVL
These are four of the best forward to own going forward in FPL. These forwards have the best fixtures in GW28 and double fixtures in GW29. Their form and overall play are also pretty good. So, if you’re looking to get a forward you should pick one of the three.

5. FPL GW28 tips: 10 of the most transferred out FPL players in GW28
In terms of players to sell, we can see which ones FPL managers are looking to ship out. We can see that FPL managers are looking to sell players that play for teams that blank in GW28.
It’s alright to transfer out these players if you’re on a free hit. If you aren’t on a free hit then you would want to keep a few of these players in your team.
What you shouldn’t do now is sell your Newcastle and Arsenal assets. It’s a bad move because you’re selling players that feature in blank gameweek 28 when few teams play.
The best transfer strategy, for now, would be to hold onto your Arsenal, Newcastle, Liverpool and Brighton assets. You can see a sample of our GW28 team here: FPL GW28 wildcard team: the best gameweek 28 wildcard FPL teams.
