Gameweek 13 was pretty low scoring so we’ll be hoping for more goals for the next set of fixtures, which kick off on Saturday.
FANTASY LEAGUE STANDINGS
Colmans Mustard extended his lead in the Fantasy Football Scout League to 15 points after a respectable score of 68 points this gameweek.
In the H2H league Dutch Warriors got another win and remains on top with 11 victories and 2 losses.
STOCK CHECKS
Rising
Amin Nouri (5.6, Brann, defender)
He’s continuing his amazing form recently. Over his last six matches he has scored once, assisted four, kept three clean sheets and picked up six bonus points from his right back berth. He’s now scored eight points less than Rolantsson. Be wary though, Nouri is without a contract at the end of the season and has refused to sign a new one. There’s a chance he’ll leave Brann in the summer.
Abdoulaye Seck (4.7, Sandefjord, defender)
This man never stops impressing. Another 15 point haul this Gameweek, on the back of a goal and clean sheet, propels him to third in the total points table. Who would expect that from a 4.0 priced centre back at the start of the season?
Aleksander Megalvis (4.3, Lillestrøm, defender)
Mentioned as a differential ahead of this Gameweek, he delivered a goal, a shut out and maximum bonus points. This followed two assists in his previous two run outs, in which he has proved an excellent out of position prospect, playing on the right side of midfield. But, with Knudtzon suspended next gameweek there could be a major re-shuffle in the lineups if a striker impresses in the abscent of Knudtzon up front.
Fredrik Knudsen (5.0, Haugesund, defender)
I could have picked any of the Haugesund defenders after three consecutive clean sheets. They are very much on form and shut Rosenborg out this Gameweek. Knudsen has picked up bonus points in three of the last five Gameweeks  which makes him the stand out option, although Stølås (5.4) and Haraldseid (4.9) are also good picks, especially as both are on set pieces. Bråtveit in goal is another option.
Haris Hajradinovic (7.2, Haugesund, midfielder)
This is a very interesting one. Before the season I thought he would be a good pick, but for much of the campaign he’s been anonymous. That all changed in the last two games when Haugesund changed formation, with Hajradinovic scoring once and assisting another in a new role behind a lone striker. In one of these games, against Rosenborg, he racked up a remarkable eight shots. Last season’s tally of four goals and seven assists did indicate he can prosper when afforded the opportunity and it looks like he is finally doing that this season. If he can continue to be fielded in this advanced role he looks an excellent acquisition for your squad.
Daniel Braaten (7.0, Brann, midfielder)
Coming back from a one game suspension, he provided a goal and an assist as well as maximum bonus points. He has now picked up 16 bonus points so far this season, more than any other player. He’s getting hard to ignore.
Björn Sigurdarson (9.8, Molde, forward)
Sigurdarson scored in his third consecutive home game. Do we now have a reliable captaincy option when at home? With home games against Viking and Strømsgodset coming up I certainly would consider bringing him in soon. One of the top scoring players in the game and one of the few premium priced players actually delivering points.
Falling
Erling Knudtzon (8.1, Lillestrøm, midfielder)
Knudtzon let down a couple of thousand new owners in the home game against Viking. He did hit the post, but he also (wrongly) got a yellow card which means he’s now suspended for next gameweek.
Jeppe Moe (4.2, Stabæk, defender)
Stabæk has shown over the last couple of gGmeweeks that they’re not a top team, but more like the team we expected them to be. They have conceded 12 goals over the last three games. Moe picked up his third yellow of the season and is now suspended for the home fixture against Kristiansund.
Birger Meling (6.3, Rosenborg, defender) and all Rosenborg players
Rosenborg again failed to play well and keep a clean sheet. They have only kept one clean sheet over the last eight Gameweeks, way less than expected. On the top of that Meling managed to get sent off. To be honest, I Â could have put every Rosenborg player on this list.
Anders Trondsen (7.6, Sarpsborg, midfielder)
The most owned midfielder in the game left after 39 minutes with an injury. After he finally produced some points over the last few Gameweeks, this isn’t good news to owners.
Mos (9.0, Aalesund, forward)
After looking like the only reliable player in this game, he has now blanked three Gameweeks in a row. With though fixtures coming up, is it now time to look elsewhere?
DIFFERENTIALS FOR GAMEWEEK 14
Daniel Fredheim Holm (6.3, VÃ¥lerenga, midfielder)
He’s been showing good form recently. He’s now started three consecutive games as a right winger, after starting the season injured. He’s picked up two assists and four bonus points over those three games. I’d back him to do well in a home fixture against Lillestrøm. VÃ¥lerenga will be boosted by the return of Zahid from injury as well.
Luc Kassi (6.0, Stabæk, midfielder)
A key man for Stabæk is returning from suspension. Prior to this enforced break he had picked up a goal and an assist in two games. I expect Stabæk to get a win again in a home fixture against Kristiansund, and I expect Kassi to be involved in Stabæk’s goals.
Mikael Ingebrigtsen (5.8, Tromsø, midfielder)
Tromsø is in pretty poor form these days, but they have a good chance of turning it around at home against Sandefjord. Ingebrigtsen started up front for Tromsø against Molde and has been looking very dangerous lately. He hit the bar twice in the previous two games and has scored three times in the last five.
