Following on from the rotation-laden marvel that was Double Gameweek 32, it’s time to clear the decks and recalibrate our teams for the six-game Blank Gameweek ahead.

Only two of the top four are due to play which emphasises the need to find those differentials that can provide an extra edge and much-needed boost.

Here are three low-owned players flying under the radar that may be of interest to you


Youri Tielemans

Price: £6.1m

Ownership: 1.7%

Despite only being at Leicester City for a short period of time, Youri Tielemans (£6.1m) has already proven to be an excellent signing.

It’s surprising that he isn’t owned by more FPL managers at this point, especially when considering that he’s registered five attacking returns in his last five games.

The Belgian international is also averaging more points per game (4.9) than any other Leicester City player since his arrival.

With that said, he’s only had six penalty area touches in his last four games which is a bit of concern in terms of his goal scoring potential.

But with Tielemans it really is all about his standout assists potential. The last 10 chances that he has created have included four assists.

He becomes all the more worthwhile when he also has Jamie Vardy at the end of his crosses who has netted six goals in his last seven outings.

No doubt there will be concerns that Leicester players are ‘on the beach’ with their safe position of ninth, but they, and their new manager still have a lot to prove and will be looking to keep up their performances.

What better way for Tielemans to continue his fine form than against an already relegated Huddersfield team that have conceded 1.84 goals per average in the Premier League this season.


Dominic-Calvert Lewin

Price: £5.4m

Ownership: 1.8%

In some ways, it’s frustrating that Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.4m) hasn’t started more matches since August, especially after registering twelve attacking returns last season.

Following on from that, prior to Gameweek 17, he only played two full Premier League games, which coincided with a period when Richarlison was encroaching on his potential game time as a centre-forward.

But since the end of February, Calvert-Lewin has started every game for Everton during which he has registered two goals and one assist.

His form in the last six Gameweeks in comparison to other players valued at £6m or less cannot be ignored, especially when looking at goal attempts (second), shots inside the box (second) and headed goal attempts (first).

Of course, it’s always a concern when Everton face Arsenal, especially when considering that the Gunners have won more top-flight matches against them than any other opponent as well as their recent form.

But Emery’s Arsenal seem to be more vulnerable when playing on the road, having conceded almost two goals per away league game on average since August, and are without a Premier League clean sheet on their travels all season.

Calvert-Lewin is capable of causing their defence problems and will be a nuisance especially when considering that more than half of his touches have come in the final third since Gameweek 31.

Dwight McNeil

Price: £4.4m

Ownership: 0.8%

Burnley have been a shadow of their former selves this season and in some ways will be grateful to avoid relegation come May. In spite of their troubles, Dwight McNeil (£4.4m) has seized his opportunity as a product of their youth academy and has begun to make his mark in the first team.

He has gradually cemented his place as one of their most promising attacking players and has made the left flank his own, as demonstrated by his heatmap.\

McNeil’s Premier League heatmap for all matches of the 2018/19 season

He scored his first ever Premier League goal in only his third ever appearance. This was later followed by two consecutive assists.

More recently McNeil has scored in back-to-back games. He is averaging 46.1 minutes per goal attempt and 64 minutes per chance created, which isn’t bad at all for an attacking player that is priced at less than £5m and plays for a team in the bottom half of the table.

You could even buy him as a one week punt and then keep him as a squad enabler for the remainder of the season.

Unlike some of the teams above them, Burnley still have all to play for and will be looking to win as many games as possible until safety is assured.

Bournemouth have conceded more than a goal per game at the Vitality Stadium and if Burnley do score again, I wouldn’t put it past McNeil to be involved in some shape or form.

    For GW33 only, is it worth doing Fabianski to Schmeichel for -4?

    Fabianski**
    Robertson - Pereira - TAA - Digne
    Salah - Hazard - Fraser
    Vardy - Lacazette - Wilson

    Steele; Doherty; Pogba; Gunnarsson

    1. Codetto
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      noooooo

    2. palace ash
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      No. Don't take hits. Many won't have a full 11 it anyway.

    3. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      No way

    4. scubasmithy
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Nope, Fab should get some save points, I'd expect 3 points from him hopefully.

    5. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Big gamble. Schmeichel scores 6 points on Saturday then you wait 2 days to hope fab scores 1 point or less

      Doesn’t seem worth it. Fab likes save points.

    6. Stan Kranky
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      no

    7. Ajaxeeding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Well that was a resounding NO! Thank you for your wise words!

  2. The Red Devil
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Higuain & Antonio
    To
    Rondon & hazard (-4)
    Or the boring Antonio to Tielemens

    1. palace ash
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Go boring

    2. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      That hit looks quite good actually. Boring is always nice nevertheless

      1. The Red Devil
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Which option would you finally suggest?

    3. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Go boring or go home

    4. Stan Kranky
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Hit looks very interesting

  3. palace ash
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    For a one week punt prior to WC34:

    A) Fabianski to Kepa
    B) Digne to Azpilicueta

    Already have 11 playing in 4-4-2

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      If free then A

  4. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    1ft and 1.4m. thoughts?

    Fabianski (che)
    TAA • Lascelles • Pereira • Digne (ARS)
    Salah • Hazard • Fraser • Rich
    King • Vardy

    Button Schindler Pogba Jimenez. Plan to WC in gw34

    A: Fabianski >> Allison / Kepa
    B: Lascelles / Digne >> Azpi / Matip / Chilwell / Ake
    C: Pogba >> Maddison
    D: Rich + Vardy >> Mane + Wilson (-4)...very tempting but risky move

    1. Kobrakai
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Jimenez -> Wilson? I wouldn't want to hit for a 1 gw punt...

      1. UnitednationsXI
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Keeping Jimmy on WC

  5. Kobrakai
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Kolasinac or Coleman (FH)? I have a feeling Kolasinac Is going to get overrun by Seamus...

    1. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I expect both sides to concede, so it's about attacking potential.
      I have Kola and I'm quite happy about it, he made runs like Mendy does on Monday night v Newcastle.
      If I was going for Everton I'd have Digne for the set pieces though

    2. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Don’t worry about his CSs, Kola sends in around 3 to 4 deadly crosses a game, one has to go in.

  6. Fantasynørden
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    My team atm:

    Fabianski

    Robertson - Clyne - Pereira

    Mane - Hazard - Salah - Fraser

    Wilson - Wood - Vardy

    Bench: Button - AWB - Puncheon - Doherty

    What to do?

    A) Wood -> Lacazette
    B) Clyne, Pereira or AWB -> Azpilicueta
    C) Fabianski -> Kepa

    1. zdrojo187
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      A

  7. GREEN IS GOOD
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Will Salah become the most sold player (who's not injured or suspended) in FPL history next GW?

    1. scubasmithy
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      In a word - yes...…

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Hopefully - would love to save 0.3 on WC

      1. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        You're getting him? Ballsy

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Ballsy would be going without the highest scoring player in FPL who also holds the record for highest ever points in an FPL season. He will bounce back with a vengeance

          1. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Why this week?

          2. GREEN IS GOOD
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            That was mostly last season, but the fact I'm selling him will mean he'll score 5 hattricks.

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      hopefully, have already lost 0.3 on him 😮

  8. Teror

    Salah > Mane?

    1. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Could backfire and then you'd be spewing

  9. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    FH team:
    A) Robertson, Sigurdsson, Lacazette
    B) Kolasinac, Salah, Wilson

    1. Stan Kranky
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      B - but look at a Leicester defender instead of Kola

      1. Pariße
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks. I already have Chilwell

  10. ktk_interista

    6 years, 11 months ago

    I think Higuain has got so much stick on here. I am an owner and disappointed with him after DGW fail for sure but I am more angry of Sarri than him. The rubbish performance against Cardiff was because of Chelsea poor form in general more than Higuain form. In the end, strikers need good service and Sarri shot him in the foot by benching Haz against Cardiff. Its not like Chelsea are creating quality chances and Higuain is wasting them. That would be Salah yet still many are still keeping and captaining him.If Chelsea play against Westham they way the played Brighton rather than Cardiff, Higuain should deliver.

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      He's awful, you're just trying to justify owning him.

      1. ktk_interista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Chelsea have been awful.

    2. fenixri
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Exactly my thinking. Higuan is world class finisher and very depended on his teammates, but he doesn't miss chances he gets. I believe he will score goal or two this gw if Sarri decide to play same midfield.

    3. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I’ve had him for a few gameweeks now and has brought me close to nothing, he doesn’t look a threat but the shooting stats look amazing which makes it incredibly difficult to decide whether to keep him on FH or not.

      1. Podorsky
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        But will he start on Monday?

  11. HVT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    When can we expect the scout picks?

    1. ColdRainyNIght
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      1 minute before the deadline as usual hahaa

  12. DenDanskeDuo
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Would you rather:
    A) Pogba + TTA
    B) Mane + Schlupp (-4)
    WC'ing gw 34. Cheers

  13. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Which sounds like a better transfer plan?

    a) Luiz --> Azpi

    b) Fabianski --> Kepa, then if Luiz is rested I still have a Chelsea defender and Wan B on the bench

    1. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      How well do you think West Ham will do?
      I’d rather go for B, (new) is an easier fixture than (che) if Luiz is benched.

    2. scubasmithy
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      b

    3. clodhopper
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Fabianski scores points against big teams save points etc might save a penalty too

  14. BananaMan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Quick combination response if you'd be so kind...

    A - Laca
    B - Auba

    1 - Alonso > Azpi
    2 - Alonso > VVD
    (Already have Robbo)

    1. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Aubameyang and Dijk, I think triple Liverpool is a must for this gw

      1. BananaMan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        VVD vs his old club...bound to score.

  20. Bambi
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    just realised that I have only taken 12 points of hits all season. Is this low?

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      It's high

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Same for me. How’s your rank?

      1. Bambi
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        17k

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Nice, well managed

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Depends, probably you didnt had many injuries/suspensions/out of form players to deal with

      I had zero till GW36 last year 😛

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

    5. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Considering I have taken 56 points hits so I think it is on the low side

    6. aborg
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Very low

    7. Ravager
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Taken none. Mainly because in my last season or two, felt like it never paid off for me personally.

      1. Indpush
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        What's your rank? I've taken two hits.

        1. Ravager
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Just 20k. But trying to see out the whole season this way

          1. Indpush
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Cool. I felt like I just didn't need them and wanted to do the same as you, but in two separate weeks, thought it best to take a hit. They both worked out fine mainly because I wanted long term and they performed.

  21. Penang Sandman

    For fun puposes, who will win the league?

    Liverpool next 6 PL games : sou,CHE,car,HUD,new,WOL
    City : cry,TOT,mun,bur,LEI,bha

    As in %, I'd give City 55%.
    Away to Southampton,Cardiff,Newcastle looks very scary for Liverpool, might be even tougher than Spurs home for City

    1. fenixri
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I would give City more chance because of depth of bench. Both Pool and City have CL and Liverpool will have to sacrifice somewhere.

    2. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Both will drop points, I think City are going to take it

  22. scubasmithy
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Lol, extremely low..... I do about that many a month

  23. fenixri
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Salah or Hazard for C? Or someone else? I am going for Salah for now.

    1. ColdRainyNIght
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      captai the troll!

      1. fenixri
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Noooo, I felt Hazard C pain too many times this season already. 🙂

        Plus Salah is playing tonight so I dont need to wait whole weekend for dissapointment

  24. TAT
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Tielemans or Maddison in for Anderson/Pogba? Tempted to ship out Pogz, and just have Anderson first sub if there's a surprise benching/rotation.

    1. ColdRainyNIght
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      YES!

      1. TAT
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Who would you prefer of the two Leicester guys?

  25. fakelund

    Rondon or Josh King this week?

      Rondon’s attacking stats are a little better but this one is really down to luck. It’s like a attempting to throw a 3 blindfolded with these occassional scorers.

    Chelsea's record vs West Ham isn't that great, how confident do we feel that Chelsea will beat them big?

    1. Holmes

      just by 1 or 2 goals I guess, not expecting anything big

      What is your classification of ‘big?’

      West Ham's last two gameweeks performance were shambolic. I mean like when you struggle against Huddersfield and cant even score at home you are in big trouble

        Chelsea haven't scored more than 2 goals vs West Ham since 2013....that puts me off

          dont believe in historical stats, its just coincidence.

      Depends on the side sarri plays CHO and RLC means vibrancy.
      Otherwise they will be depending on hazard to bail them out
