The Complete Guide to our FPL Gameweek 23 tips and advice

It seems time and tide wait for no manager. The news that Harry Kane will be out of action until March has already seen 715,000+ FPL managers take swift action and remove the Tottenham striker from their teams.

For managers still owning the England captain, and there are well over a million of you, David has outlined the candidates to replace him as well as examining the implications for Spurs assets. As the most expensive forward in the game, there is no lack of options.

Perhaps one simple answer is to turn to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who, at £11.3m, is the next most expensive forward player. Ajax Hamsterdam points out that the Gabonese presents an excellent captain option for Gameweek 27 for those looking to plan ahead.

Captain Sensible – Gameweek 23 a one-sided affair after Kane injury

The League Cup final takes place that weekend which means that one of Chelsea or Tottenham will join Manchester City in having a fixture blank. With Manchester United taking on Liverpool, Arsenal’s home fixture against Southampton stands out. Even Championship side Derby County triumphed over the Saints in midweek.

That result in the FA Cup third round replay had significant ramifications for FPL – it ensured that Liverpool will not have a Double Gameweek this season. This will shape the thinking of managers as they begin to draw up plans on how best to deploy their chips.

Perchinho, better known to you all as Ben Crellin, establishes the lay of the land in the first of his articles this week on Blank and Double Gameweeks. Strategies to navigate them are explored in his second article. While Deulofail proposed his own strategy in what proved to be a popular hot topic.

As if that wasn’t enough to occupy us this week, we’ve also had to deal with an injury to Trent Alexander-Arnold, which took another twist on Friday, the departure of Heung-Min Son to the Asia Cup, and assess the impact David Wagners’ sacking at Huddersfield.

Both Eat my goal! and SADIO SANÉ anticipate that Wagners’ exit could spell good news for City who take on the Terriers this weekend. City are predicted to be the Gameweek’s highest scorers according to Hutch_James in his weekly Wisdom of The Crowd article.

However in another hot topic on the subject, Maximus Bonimus Pointimus thinks we may be best advised to stay away from City assets altogether. He arrived at this conclusion using a perceptive mathematical equation.

So for those not considering City players, could Alli be about take center stage for Spurs in the absence of Kane and Son? It’s certainly a train of thought that Awesom-o subscribes to. While J0E was equally effervescent in signing Alli’s praises on this week’s Scoutcast, comparing him to Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story, before Neale sung his praises in the latest Spot the Differential article.

With many managers considering taking hits to deal with all these injuries and departures, the aptly named MINUS FOUR was on hand to offer some reassurance. Currently an impressive 35th overall and, unlike many managers in the upper echelons of FPL, he’s not afraid to take a hit or 12.

Yes, so far this season FPL’s answer to James Bond has made 12 hits costing him a total of 48 points. While that might leave most managers shaken and stirred, consider that he’s also succeeded in amassing 178 immediate transfer points, proving that making the right transfers can be yield big rewards.

He highlights that fortune can favour the brave, particularly in a season with so many premium assets delivering returns. If nothing else at least his article will make you feel better if you are on a -8.

On the subject of premium assets, our FPL Question time this week focused on what to do with Chelsea’s pricey duo Hazard and Alonso. Although he understood why owners are concerned, Chief FPL Manager thinks now is not the right time to sell Hazard:

“In his next two games [Hazard] will face Arsenal and Bournemouth. He’s registered 12 aggregate attacking returns against both teams in 20 league outings, which once again validates his threat levels.”

Salah is without doubt considered the most reliable premium asset at the moment. To add to his appeal, in Gameweek 22 he collected all three bonus points from only a single attacking return. This is a fairly unusual event in the FPL career of Merseyside’s favourite Egyptian, as David examined in a members’ article this week.

However Salah wasn’t alone in attracting attention for collecting all three bonus points last Gameweek. Aaron Wan-Bissaka did the same despite being part of a Crystal Palace side that lost 2-1 to Watford. To think he started the season valued at £4.0m.

Finally, if this article hasn’t already overwhelmed you with players to consider, Gregor was on hand to offer up a couple of names for our watchlists in his eye test. And no Gameweek guide would be complete without G-Whizz bringing us the fixture and clean sheet odds for the upcoming fixtures.

In the last sixteen of the FFS Cup Tibbles overcame the highest ranked manager in the competition Chewibb (277 OR) to book his place in the quarter finals. Tibbles, who knocked out former champion donnellyc in round 3, was also part of the winning ‘Scout B’ team in the FFS Charity Cup back in November. Could he complete a cup double this year?

Meanwhile Mark’s conqueror GARTHATRON crashed out to 218,790 ranked Man-Chest-Heir F.C. The highest ranked manager now left in the competition is Get It Inter Ya at 834 overall.

In the FFS Members Cup the highest ranked manager left is Jambo17 at 203 overall. He overcame RoysCallerAnne in the last sixteen. Heading into the quarter finals Fine_Skyline is the lowest ranked manager left, he’s currently 205,160 overall.

The quarter-finals of the FFS Manager Melee Community Tournament have taken place with dramatic results as group winners Big Bang Thierry and When ‘Arry Met Sarri both exited the tournament. Darth_Krid brought us a review of the match-ups as well as a look ahead to this week’s semi-finals in his report. Good luck to the four remaining teams!

In TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing the safety score in Gameweek 22 was 51, this saw 101 managers depart. Entries for the competition are now closed, which this season has seen 4,614 managers take part. 883 of those now remain to battle it out over the last 15 Gameweeks. The final will take place in Gameweek 37.

Miroslav Pujic clings onto top spot in our main FFS League despite having his lead cut to 13 points. He is still third overall. His Gameweek 22 team featured Spurs duo Kane and Son, as well as Trent Alexander-Arnold. Ahead of the Gameweek 23 deadline Miroslav has taken a hit making two transfers. My guess would be that Pogba and Rashford are the two players who have come in.

Tore Bjørheim holds onto his lead at the top of the FFS Members League, and is steady at number 15 in the overall rankings. Tore has also made two transfers this week, although both for free – has Pogba joined his team too? This is only Tore’s third season playing FPL and easily his finest.

Sean Tobin is the new leader of the FFS Live Hall of Fame. The Manchester United fan has been playing FPL since 2010/11 and has an impressive five top 10,000 finishes. This season he finds himself in 14th place overall.

Another manager to own Harry Kane, Sean knew who he wanted to replace him with as soon as he saw him limp off. Firmino (£9.3m) had been on his radar for a few weeks thanks to a combination of eye test and fixtures. The Brazilian now joins Rashford and Aubameyang as part of a front three.

Current Live HoF number 3 Aleksander Våge Nilsen, was headline news in his local paper when he led the Hall of Fame in Gameweek 18. Haugesunds Avis published the article on 21 December, the Sports Editor Terje Flateby is a very decent fantasy manager in his own right boasting a best finish of 451 OR in 2014/15.

In the article, 30 year-old Aleksander gives some insights into how he plays the game. Firstly he spends a lot of time watching Premier League matches:

“It is important to see the players in action, as well as using statistics. I’m keen to make my own choices and assessments, not just listen to advice from others.”

He uses his own spreadsheet to plan his transfers long term, normally five or six Gameweeks ahead. One of his strategies is to look at fixtures:

“It’s often the case that form comes when the fixtures are good.”

However adaptability is key.

“There are often changes (to the plan), but it’s important to have a plan.”

While Aleksander excels in Fantasy Football, his brother excels at real football: Joakim Våge Nilsen is a defensive midfielder in the Eliteserien, the top division in Norway. A rather more average Fantasy player, Joakim has never managed to beat his brother in their sibling mini-league. He grudgingly concedes:

“I always thought it was luck, but I just have to admit that he is skilled.”

Thank you to Niɇmi for the research and translation.

David is the new leader in the FFS Mods & Cons. Helped by a surprise 9 point return from Fabianski, his score of 80 points in Gameweek 22 sees him take a 7 point lead. Aside from crediting Mark with giving him the job of FFS Editor, he is delighted a move from Alonso to David Luiz in Gameweek 20 has paid off. Luiz is top for through balls this season by some margin with 31, Jorginho is second with 14 and Felipe Anderson third with 13.

For further insights into David’s excellent Gameweek have a read of Greyhead’s latest round-up of The Great and The Good. It’s now six red arrows in a row for Ville Rönkä, the Finnish Enigma has slipped from 817 overall to 8,386 over that period. Meanwhile FPL Transfer Spy is predicting with 100% confidence that TorresMagic has made this week’s popular move of Rashford in, Kane out.

Elsewhere Luke Aiello increased his lead to 18 points at the top of RedLightning’s Top 10k Any Season although he’s slipped to 50th in the overall standings. It looks as if Luke is another manager to have made the Kane to Rashford transfer. He currently has £5.3m in the bank and will have two free transfers next Gameweek.

In RedLightning’s January to May League, which started in Gameweek 21, Andrew Fu is the current leader following an impressive 147 points over the two Gameweeks. Andrew is reaping the benefits of a successful Gameweek 20 Wildcard. This is Andrew’s 9th FPL season, his best finish of 4,034th came in 2014/15.

    2. Goonsquad245
      • 8 Years

      I’d vice captain someone that is likely to start the game

    Who is closer to play 90 minutes?
    A. Sterling
    B. Sane

    1. Bellerinmondo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Only Pep knows.

      1. Bellerinmondo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        But I’d guess B

    2. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Probably a

    3. Detweiler
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Probably Sané

    4. Sergio Giorgini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Without Mendy Sane should still start

      1. teknicolourfox
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        No Sane, interesting if that turns out right with so many bringing in for hits

      2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Well, I’m punting on Kun regardless.

        Unless I’m missing something he is their star. If they want to win the PL, FA Cup, CL they will need him at his best.

        I don’t think you do that by playing him against Burton. So what, he’ll have played 14 minutes since the start of January for the next game against Burnley next weekend or Newcastle in 10 days time...

  5. Miguel Sanchez

      A) depending on who comes in.

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Ings to come in for TAA

          • 10 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Then yeah, I’d do it.

          He’s either fit or not. Starts or Not in Squad imo.

    Kolasinac - Richarlison - Arnautovic OUT

    Jonny - Alli - Ings IN (-8)

    Arsenal can’t keep clean sheets which is putting me off Kolasinac plus they have Chelsea this week. Richarlison isn’t doing the business. Arnautovic is going to be living in China soon.

    Jonny will play this week in place of TAA if TAA doesn’t play, then he will be on my bench for the most part going forward. Alli and Ings both decent option and on pens.

    Having a wildcard wobble. Auba and Nasri or Hazard and Jiminez?
    Thoughts?

    1. wikidwhite
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      The latter imo, Hazard has a higher ceiling than Auba and Jimenez is/has been more consistent than Nasri

    2. Not again Shirley

      That is the question. Comes down to whether or not you have a premium striker for team balance. I think it is better to have prem striker as if for example Kane when back or Aguero or even Auba really get in it it means a lot easier to bring in or change over. That’s what I am going with though even though I would like Hazard

    How do I look:

    Allisson - (Speroni)

    Digne - VVD - Shaw - (Bennet - WB)

    Pereya - Salah (C) - Sane - Pogba - (Rich - 1st Sub)

    Aguero (VC) - Rashford - Jimenez

    Thanks!

    Bit of a punt on Nasri this week (enabler) but I'm happy to have the cash itb to bring in Trent next week now. How's she looking?

    Fabianski
    Kolasinac Doherty Digne
    Sterling Salah(c) Pogba(vc) Hazard Nasri
    Firmino Rashford

    Button Bennett Wan-B Success (0.5itb).

    Would love to see some fb and potential moves on the table. Cheers all.

    RMTWC?

    Etheridge Speroni

    Robbo TAA Digne Doh AWB

    Salah Sterling Pog Alli FAnderson

    Rash Ings Niasse

    0.7 ITB

    1. Miguel Sanchez

      Very good - on WC and have same Def and FWD line

      1. KGFC
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers!
        But only fear is not having Auba or Haz... just feel it will be a high scoring match. With Haz playing as a striker coupled with Arsenal's defence... it could be a goal fest!

  26. thepirates

    Start Bednarek or Camarasa? Any update on his injury btw?

  27. Not again Shirley

    I have WC this week and here is what I am currently on:

    McCarthy Gunn
    Robbo Doherty Digne Shaw AWB
    Salah Sané Pogba Anderson Puncheon
    Auba Rashford Jimi

    Gone with cheap keepers so can afford better outfield players including Salah (which was main reason for wildcardinrg). Plus Southampton have decent fixtures and better under new manager.

    Would have preferred not to lose hazard but team unbalanced with him in it.

    Could have downgraded Auba but like to have 1 premium striker.

  28. SADIO SANÉ

    oo a blank for Auba today probably means a price drop before Cardiff..nice

    1. NATSTER
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I don't think so. He will gain more ownership when the next GW starts.

    2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Likely. He’s on -80% already.

      But Kane owners who held out this week will probably transfer in pretty quickly, so may not quite drop.

  29. CHARLIE HULL

    Rashford/Pereira in for Barnes/Alonso (-4)?

    Fear Rashford’s ownership and happy to bench Pereira until GW27. Other defenders options welcome.

    Also, chances of a Chelsea DGW in 25 mean best keeping Alonso?

    1. Rik Waller
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      What's this about a possible DGW for chelsea in 25?

  30. Rik Waller
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Tempted to bring in Robbo for Alonso for a hit.

    Wanna bring him in soon anyway and see the hit being paid off in the next few games.

    Think it's worth it?

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years

      Do it
