Fantasy Prem 101

70 points GW17 👀

Red arrow down to 148k, no Isak doing a lot of damage again. 2 free transfers in the bank to move Saka on with, thinking Semenyo or Sarr atm. Roll on Boxing Day chaos.

Blank of the Week 😶❌

Amad Diallo 5.2m👹

Diallo has been a popular add over the last 2 weeks and you can’t argue with the price. However, he’s only produced 1.15NPXGI over the last 3 GW’s compared to 3 returns. With United facing a well coached Bournemouth side, don’t expect too much from Amad.

Boom of the Week GW17 👀💨

Morgan Gibbs-White 🌳

Forest have an enticing trip to the G-Tech this weekend which looks like it could be absolute classic. Just 1.4% owned, Gibbs-White has returned in the last 2 GW’s and is well placed to continue his fine form this weekend.

GW17 Squad 🫡

Johnson ➡️ Bowen
Ait-Nouri ➡️ Colwill

Pretty boring transfers this week but with all the fixtures approaching made sense to bring in players who are nailed to start. Salah captain vs Spurs in what should be a classic.

Good luck everyone #fpl #fplcommunity

Duran Returns ✅🫡

A brilliant header from Duran sees him net in back-to-back games for the first time since GW5. With Watkins out of form it looks like Duran may have done enough to retain the starting job. His clinical finishing makes him an intriguing option if he continues to start.

Pedro Blank 😶❌

Another underwhelming afternoon for Pedro as he blanks vs an in-form Palace side. Glasners set-up worked brilliantly against the Brighton high-line leading to an emphatic win for Palace. With just one return in his last 4, Pedro will look to turn it around away at West Ham next.

GW16 Squad 🫡⬇️

Expecting a red arrow this week, Isak probably going to punish me but rather role the transfer into the busy period. Palmer captain purely based on how bad Brentford have been away from home.

Good luck everyone #fpl #fplcommunity

Blank of the Week GW16 😶❌

Joao Pedro 5.9m 🕊️

Brighton have been underwhelming the last few weeks, and so has Joao Pedro. Averaging 0.34 NPXGI/90 over the last 3 GW’s, he faces a Palace side who’ve turned a corner after a poor start to the season. It could be a tough afternoon for the Brazilian.

Boom of the Week GW16 👀💨

Jhon Duran 5.8m 🦁

With Watkins carrying a knock Duran looks set to lead the line again this week. Averaging 1.07NPXGI/90 over the last 3 GW’s, Duran is a clinical finisher who has the potential to score against anyone. Just 2.7% owned, he’s a great pick this week.

2 Bad GW15 😶❌

Bissouma Challenge 🐓

The most stone-wall penalty I’ve seen in a while. Rash and reckless, this challenge gave Chelsea the opportunity to take control of the game. Spurs struggled all afternoon to stop Chelsea in transition, culminating in more questioning by fans of Ange’s tactics.

2 Bad GW15 😶❌

Southampton 😇

It’s looking bleak for Southampton. After failing to register a single shot vs Villa they remain rock bottom of the premier league. Already amassing 10 errors leading to goals, the Saints style of play is doing them no favours in helping avoid the drop.

2 Good GW15 🫡💨

Chris Wood 🌳

When will Chris Wood stop bagging? I’m not sure anyone knows. The Kiwi has been on fire all year and continued his great form with a tidy header back across Onana. Wood’s consistency in the Prem has been underrated for years and this may be his best season yet.

2 Good GW15 🫡💨

Brentford at home 🐝

Brentford’s home form has been ridiculous. Unbeaten at home (7W 1D) they’ve also accumulated the most goals at home of any side (26). This is in stark contrast to there away form where they are yet to win (2D 5L). The G-Tech has been a fortress for the bees. 🐝

194,132 ➡️ 76,457

Up into the top 100k for the first time in a long time. Had a fair few green arrows in a row so probably due a red soon but happy to ride this streak for as long as possible. On to GW16

#fpl #fplcommunity

Saka blank 😶❌

Saka had a pretty quiet afternoon as Fulham did well to stem the Arsenal attack. Antonee Robinson remains one of the best full backs in the league and he’ll be tested again next week vs Mo Salah.

Damsgaard blank 😶❌

Thomas Frank rotated a few of his regulars including Damsgaard in Brentford’s big win. He remains a key player for them this season however and I’m expecting him to be in the starting line-up more often than not.

GW15 Squad 🫡⬇️

Konate ➡️ Kerkez 1.4m itb

Transfer made to improve squad depth, Kerkez was the preferred choice as Bournemouth’s defence has been solid and the fixtures upcoming are favourable. One more week for Mbeumo purely due to Brentford’s unreal home form.

Good luck everyone #fpl

Going DCL over Wood screwed a lot of people mate was a close call at the time so unfortunate if you were on the wrong end 🤣 just how it goes

Also you might end up getting one of them off the bench anyway with the potential postponement of the Merseyside Derby, definitely something to keep an eye on.

Yeah great point Cunha’s guaranteed the 90 mins, if Villa get out to an early lead they’ll definitely look to rotate. If you want 90 mins guarantee go with Cunha if you want the higher upside Rogers might be the pick. Whatever you decide will probably backfire that’s just FPL mate haha.

Good luck 🫡

I think Aina vs United is a decent match up, Amorin has made United more possession based but it’s left them looking a bit toothless going forward so far, they have the lowest XG in the league since he took over. Jimenez I would probably sell though as he’s not a guaranteed starter anymore.

Cunha still over-performing his XGI, last 3 weeks 3 returns 1.10 XGI. I’d lean towards Roger’s purely because Villa haven’t played Champions League midweek and are at home to the leagues worst defence, Watkins press could cause chaos leading to chances, close call though Cunha is class on his day.

Blank of the Week 😶❌

Bukayo Saka 10.5m 🅰️

Saka faces one of the leagues best one on one defenders in Antonee Robinson this week, his speed and athleticism make him a tough task for any winger. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Iwobi also off the left for his work rate getting back to help stop Saka.

Boom of the Week GW15 👀💨

Mikkel Damsgaard 5.0m 🐝

Just 1.3% owned, Damsgaard has returned in 3 of his last 4 fixtures. Surprisingly Brentford have the most XG at home of any team in the league, whilst having the lowest away XG. Expect Damsgaard to be crucial in unlocking that Newcastle defence.

2 Good GW14 🫡💨

Enzo Maresca 🔵

Maresca is doing some job at Chelsea. He’s taken an over inflated squad of individuals and created a top 4 side. He allows his star players to show their individual talent whilst implementing a solid structure around them. Very impressive so far.

2 Bad GW14 😶❌

Darwin Nunez

Patience with Nunez is running out even with the reds most loyal supporters. After 3 seasons Nunez has shown little improvement and after missing another sitter at Newcastle it’s hard to say he’s someone Liverpool can rely on in a title race.

2 Bad 😶❌

Wolves 🐺

You have to feel for Gary O’Neil, Wolves recruitment in the summer was baffling and now there paying for it. Conceding 4 to Everton further highlights how poor there defence is. O’Neil will be desperate for a result in El Sackico Monday vs West Ham.

2 Good GW14 🫡💨

Alex Iwobi ⚪️

Iwobi’s rise in football is an example to anyone that hard work pays off. After struggling at Arsenal and his early Everton days, Iwobi is now one of the most underrated players in the league. 2 goals vs Brighton further shows his class in this impressive Fulham side.

87 all out 😤

430,437 ➡️ 194,132

Nice green arrow up 200k places, chasing down that top 100k. The Arsenal lads and Mo Salah doing most of the damage, disappointing display from Mbeumo again but not sure there are any stand out replacements atm.

Roll on GW15 ⚽️

#fpl #fplcommunity

Haaland Returns ✅💨

Haaland manages to grab an assist in a comfortable evening for City. 0.19 XG is pretty poor by his standards but with De Bruyne seemingly back to full fitness you have to expect Haaland will start firing again sooner rather than later.
