            <p>Should you sell the injured <strong>Bukayo Saka</strong>? Is <strong>Cole Palmer </strong>a hold despite a groin injury? And is it worth loading up on <strong>Manchester United </strong>picks against Burnley?</p>
<p>FPL content creator and pundit Holly Shand covers the key dilemmas to help Fantasy Football Hub members with their decision making as Saturday's deadline approaches (August 30).</p>
<p>She also discusses chip options for Gameweek 3 and how to deal with <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fantasy-premier-league-price-rises">price falls</a> - a hot topic in some of our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/whatsapp">WhatsApp groups</a> this week.</p>

<h2>What to do with Palmer?</h2>
<p>We are still waiting for a full update on Palmer in Enzo Maresca's press conference on Friday afternoon but the latest rumours suggested he had a chance for the Fulham game.</p>
<p>The club will be eager to protect their player and keep him at the training ground over the international break though, so he could be rested in Gameweek 3 before returning in Gameweek 4.</p>
<p>The Chelsea attack impressed in the 5-1 win against West Ham in Palmer's absence.</p>
<p>Add into the mix attractive fixtures over the next four gameweeks against Fulham, Brentford, Manchester United and Brighton, I'd be inclined to hold.</p>
<p>Many managers might have other problems to deal with or only one free transfer. With two free transfers, the options open up to strengthen and shift funds around the squad.</p>
