Selection

Differential Spurs option presents excellent opportunity

While the Fantasy Premier League masses work out how to stockpile Manchester City midfielders, we’ve also been looking for some under the radar options.

Ahead of the Gameweek 14 deadline, we’ve picked out three options all owned by less than 5% of Fantasy managers who can propel you up the rankings.

We’ve been looking at Spurs as well as some budget options elsewhere…

Son Heung-min

Price: £8.3m

Ownership: 1.7%

An impressive performance for Son Heung-min (£8.3m) in Spurs’ 3-1 win over Chelsea in Gameweek 13 has put him back on our Fantasy radars.

We think that he could continue his form into the north London derby this weekend and act as an incredible differential with just 1.7% ownership.

That display at Wembley will almost certainly allow Son to hold onto his place, with Erik Lamela and Lucas Moura both starting against Inter Milan midweek.

If Son reverts to his usual position on the right at Arsenal, having played up front with Kane at the weekend, he should have a field day.

We recently discovered that Arsenal are defensively weakest down their left flank this season, which could leave the door open for a Son masterclass.

Even if the South Korean plays as a centre-forward again then he should still enjoy his Sunday afternoon at the Emirates Stadium. No side has given up more big chances in home matches this season than Unai Emery’s Arsenal, not even Burnley.

Steve Mounié

Price: £5.8m

Ownership: 0.2%

There is something awfully specific about why Huddersfield striker Steve Mounié (£5.8m) looks set to enjoy a fruitful Gameweek 14.

His upcoming opponents Brighton and Hove Albion, who visit the John Smith’s Stadium on Saturday, currently rank second-worst for headed attempts conceded in away games this season.

Meanwhile, Mounié is the second-best for headed attempts among forwards in 2018/19, giving him the perfect Fantasy match-up this weekend.

While the Benin international has been known for his profligacy during his time in the Premier League, he has been pretty accurate of late too.

In the last four Gameweeks, only Harry Kane, Alvaro Morata, Mohamed Salah and Anthony Martial have had more shots on target than Mounié.

He has started the last three matches in a row, with Huddersfield picking up seven points from a possible nine in that time. For that reason, he should retain his place amid competition from Laurent Depoitre, currently an injury doubt.

Andros Townsend

Price: £5.7m)

Ownership: 1.1%

Crystal Palace may be short on goals right now but they should get over that problem when they face Burnley this weekend.

13 Gameweeks into the season and no side has overtaken the Clarets for number of shots conceded, either in total or in the box.

That makes them the perfect opponents for Palace this weekend.

While Wilfried Zaha remains the popular Eagles option (14% ownership), there is every chance that Andros Townsend (£5.7m) could also benefit at Selhurst Park.

He has actually been outperforming Zaha for underlying statistics in the last four Gameweeks. The Englishman is ahead on both total shots, and shots on target. In fact he has five accurate efforts in that time compared to Zaha’s zero.

Furthermore, Townsend is just one created chance behind his Ivorian colleague, giving him the potential for a spread of points for a much cheaper price.

    Kind-of have a different team but feel i need a good city mid at least

    fabianski
    alonso laporte smalling awb doherty
    mane pogba felipe
    kane vardy

    hart fernandinho wilson fraser

    any suggestions thinking pogba->d.silva or mahrez

    1. bautasten
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Guessing you can't afford Pogba -> Sane?

      1. Bonus magnet
        • 7 Years

        don't be cruel (0.1m)

  2. arndff_

    5 years, 3 months ago

    What would you do here?

    A) I can sign Stones. Is it worth it though? Gotta bench either Doherty or Richa.

    B) Just downgrade Foster to 4.0 and roll the 2nd FT.

    Team looks like this:

    Fabianski
    Alonso Robbo Doherty AWB
    Salah Hazard Richa
    Kun Arnie Jimenez

    Foster | Fraser Yedlin Diangana

    2FT, 1.4M ITB

    1. Holmes

      B

        Thanks.

        Forgot to mention, though, that the WC is still intact.

        1. Holmes

          good, keep it intact 😉

            Considering to use it at 16.

            Seems like your opinion stayed the same. Good.

    2. weaver93

      Downgrade to Button -imo

    3. bautasten
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Not tempted by the City-mid hype? Looks like you can afford Salah, Richa -> Sterling, Sane and then reshuffle and get Kane in with your WC.

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I don't think so as I like Salah and Richa fixtures next GW...

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years

      Not for me.

  6. Boss Hogg

    Start TAA or Duffy?

    1. Ode
      • 6 Years

    2. ‘Tis the Season
      • 5 Years

      dep on your team but probaly both

      1. Boss Hogg
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I could also bench:

        AWB
        Doherty
        Richarlison
        Jimenez

        Don't really want to bench any of those though.

  7. Ode
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Salah & Richarlison to Mane & Sane for free?

    Gives me enough funds to Kun -> Kane next week

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Ooh tough one ! Very tempting I have to say ....

    2. Bleach †
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I'd do it tbh.

    3. Stinglikeabee
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I'm considering the same.

  8. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    With so many great options available for captaincy we better get it right or it's another red arrow incoming ..
    Who do you all captain and vice captain and who else is in the frame ?

    Aguero c
    Salah vc

    Hazard and Sane other great options

    1. dicky2014
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      What if he starts Jesus and Mahrez?

      Im making Alonso vc just cause i know he will start.

      Kun (c)

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah I have Salah vc 🙂

  9. Indpush
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Ryan

    TAA, Doherty, Lovren

    Dilva, Salah, Son, Anderson

    Auba, Laca, Arnie

    Buttons, Bennett, Zaba, Hoj 1.4 ITB No Free Transfers left for WK 14

    With 1.4 in the bank I have options to beef up D or at some point move Salah on (possible to get Sane and Sterling with 2 transfers if so inclined)

    1. Indpush
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Or get one of Ali or Ericson and one of Sane or Sterling.

  10. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Hold FT? Planning on Kun, Haz > Sterling, Kane next week.

    Patricio
    Laporte, Alonso (C), Robertson

    Aguero, Murray, Jiminez

    Hart; WBis, Billing, Keane

    1. MTPockets
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yes think I'd save

      • Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        You re captaining Alonso ! Gutsy 🙂

        Hold transfer

    2. MTPockets
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Start Richarlison or AWB? (+ Hennessey)

        Hennessey
        Alonso TAA Doherty
        Salah Sterling Sane Deulofeu *Richarlison
        Aguero Jimenez

        AWB Wilson Yoshida

        1. wulfrunian
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Richarlison for me.With Gud back Burney is a better team.It's tough.

          1. MTPockets
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Thanks

        2. Ghost86
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I think Kun starts tomorrow then benched midweek then fresh for Chelsea.

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Yep probably. Big decision ahead on whether to keep him or not ...

          2. Warby84
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            I agree, HK in for me next week

          3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            no point guessing pep, he could easily start both or both tomorrow and midweek.

            1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              be benched*

          4. Pasqualinho
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Jesus will get a lot of minutes in December, but I'd imagine most of them will be in blocks of 20 min cameos. But yours is probably not a bad guess for the midweek game.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            I think and hope Jesus wont start vs BOU indeed after not training much

        3. as33
          • 8 Years

          Any news on Bilva? or just transfer to Martial?

          1. MTPockets
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Being assessed later, but we won't get news before deadline.

            • 8 Years

            Having some issues with my starting lineup. How does this look? (5-4-1)

            Ryan
            Wan Bissaka / Laporte / Alonso / Doherty / Robertson
            Salah / Sterling / Hazard / Richarlison
            Jimenez

            Wilson / Mitrovic/ Hojbjerg

            1. ‘Tis the Season
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              light on top

              1. windowview
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Defenders have good fixtures though - except maybe Robertson

          4. MattysFantasyFooty
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            What are people’s thoughts on Rob Holding for the upcoming good fixtures, only 4.4 and looks like he’s nailed now as emery seems to like him as he’s starting every game now

            1. Warby84
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              I’m tempted for that price, also came off at 60m mark so maybe saved for the weekend, won’t get in till after midweek games

              1. MattysFantasyFooty
                • 10 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Yeah true was likely taken off in order for the kids to get a run out good thing also is he’s suspended for the last EL meaning he may not be dropped in the league

            2. Ajax Hamsterdam
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Seems pretty nailed doesn't he and he s so cheap .

            3. A.T
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              True but 2 cs in 13 for a player with almost zero attacking threat. Fools gold that one bud.

              1. MattysFantasyFooty
                • 10 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                I don’t know there fixtures are very good after United there’s no risk with a 4.4 defender and it’s not like he takes up an arsenal spot as pretty much no one currently is going to have 3 arsenal players in their team

              2. Warby84
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                I think at that price he can work as a 5th rotating defender, and can get rid pretty easily

          5. Viper
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            If I'm planning on Aguero - > Kane next week. Is getting Sterling/Sané this week a must. Really don't want to go without a City attacker.

            Salah making way

            1. MTPockets
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Could just do both moves next gw though

                  • 14 Years
                  5 years, 3 months ago

                  Salah away to Burnley. Tough to sell.
                  Everton is a little trickier

                  1. Pieterke30

                    • 7 Years
                    5 years, 3 months ago

                    Yeah it’s that Burnley game that annoys me

                    1. Viper
                      • 14 Years

                        5 years, 3 months ago

                        You selling Salah? Think I’ll take my chances.

                  2. MTPockets
                      5 years, 3 months ago

                      Fair point but end result the same

                    5 years, 3 months ago

                    Plus I have 2Fts so have to use 1 really or its a waste

                  • 10 Years
                  5 years, 3 months ago

                  I already had aguero this week but done the salah to Sterling move if sterling starts he’s bound to do well his record vs them speaks for itself

                3. Warby84
                  • 8 Years
                  5 years, 3 months ago

                  I’ll be happy with just sterling from next week,

                Do we think Sane will start?

                1. Viper
                  • 14 Years
                  5 years, 3 months ago

                  Yes

                2. Boss Hogg
                  • 14 Years
                  5 years, 3 months ago

                  Yes. He doesn't need a rest, had the Summer off, Mendy's out, and he's getting better by the week.
                  He starts 9 or 10 of the next 10 league games for me.

                  1. Pieterke30

                    Good to know. Thx for the info.

                  5 years, 3 months ago

                  For me it’s very likely to see Sane on the starting XI especially with Mendy out. He played only 70mins during the Lyon game as compared to full 90mins by Sterling

                Would you let a free transfer waste with this team? No idea what to do.

                Patricio
                Alonso, Robertson, Doherty, Wan-Bissaka
                Salah, Hazard, Martial, Kenedy
                Aguero, Arnautovic

                Hamer; Richarlison, Wilson, Balbuena.

                2 FT 0.0 ITB

                The only possible thing I can think of would be to downgrade Kenedy to Camarasa and play Richarlison but I quite like Kenedy at home to West Ham.

                  Team looks good. Save FT for GW15

                    I already have 2 FT. If I don't do anything I'll be burning one, not saving.

                  I’d save.

                  Only transfer I can think of is one of Salah/Hazard out for Sterling/Sané.

                A) Save

                So, I'm stuck with whether to play Gudmundsson, Fermenia or Fraser this weekend. Each one of them looks like a guaranteed 2 point outcome to me, any one got any wisdom to share here? I literally have to play one of them, I used my transfers up getting rid of Maddison and Ings

                  Fraser for me.

                Fulham have some decent fixtures after this week. Mitrovic 6.6m, Schurrle 5.9m, or Sessegnon 6.0m could be good buys.

                Ranieri was heaping praise on Schurrle in his press conference, but I think Mitrovic will dominate the goals.

                  5 years, 3 months ago

                  Looking at getting Mitro back in GW17.

                    • 12 Years
                    5 years, 3 months ago

                    Never had him, but definitely looking to buy.

                    I still have a WC in my pocket so may pop it as soon as next week and reorganise the whole team. Feel like we're on the verge of change.

                  • 8 Years
                  5 years, 3 months ago

                  I like the look of sessegnon definately one to keep an eye on, could be re-vitalised by Ranieri

                  Would you play Mitro this week? I'm having this dilemma.

                  1. Piggs Boson
                    • 12 Years
                    5 years, 3 months ago

                    Depends on who else you have. But he's capable of scoring against Chelsea. Fulham can break with pace behind Chelsea's high line.

                  Richarlison > Schurrle in GW17 is a move I'll be making. The fixtures swing nicely.

                Would you do Trippier --->

                A. Alonso
                B. Laporte
                C. Someone else

                I will probably be wildcarding in the next couple GWs so will end up up bringing Tripps back in perhaps
