This weekend’s set of fixtures precedes the first Double Gameweek of 2019/20 and there is much for Fantasy managers to ponder as we approach what could be a pivotal couple of weeks in many of our seasons.

With two Fantasy Premier League deadlines to negotiate in the space of 79 hours, we take a look at the data available in our Members’ Area and present the eye-catching stats that may be of interest.

We’ve run down the stand-out figures in every position, as well as looking at the strengths and weaknesses of various teams to assess which Fantasy Premier League assets could shine in Gameweek 23 and beyond.

    Thoughts on...

    Maddison & Rashford >>> DSilva & Aguero?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Not for me

    2. Dthinger

      major rotation risks.

    Should I just go ahead and do Rashford>DCL this week to afford Grealish>Salah in GW24. I planned the moves a few weeks back and the Rashford drop and injury might be a sign to go for it.

    1. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      IF plan is to go without Rashford to get Salah, yes. But I would keep Rash and go double Pool defence.

      1. Under my Cucurella
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        A lot of people have recommended that but I'm never a big fan of double defences and feel not having Salah could be more dangerous. Taa would weaken the rest of the team less though and would like to keep Rashford if the injury isn't bad - could always switch Maddi to Martial to cover Utd in GW25 though

        1. Pompel
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I have Salah + Mané + TAA, but I'm considering switching to double defence. The £5m 'ish difference not to be scoffed at.

    2. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    3. Don Van Vliet
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I just shipped Rashford because of his impending drop. A 0.1 difference there and any increase in Mane's price before I move on him would have priced me out, so my hand was forced a little.

      You're in the same boat as me with Cantwell's favourable fixture against Bournemouth; I'm guessing you we're going to bench Marcus anyway.

    Great article. Feedback though. Could you please make the bad numbers red and keep only the good ones green? It’ll be a much easier read

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years

      Sure, that'll be available next season if you pay £2.50 more.

    Mane, sterling,richarlison, fleck(dendonker)
    Maupay, ageruo(C), ings

    Sterling to salah for gw 24!

    Option B
    Ryan> button, start McCarthy
    Sidibe> Williams, start lundstram
    Richarlison>KDB start KDB

    Help??

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I feel if you’re going to wildcard you may aswell get 3 pool.

      1. LloristheHounds
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah but I wanted the punt on sterlo to try catch ML leader before DGW

    Current team 2 FT 0.0 itb

      1. StayoutheSpiceZone
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I think rash might be rested for a while tbh. Only my opinion but I can’t see him playing midweek for long either

        1. The 12th Man
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          On this logic Rashford > Greenwood would be a sound call rather than Maupay

  9. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Probably not worth a -4 despite having to start 2 MUN players vs pool if not?

    Maguire > Robbo

    Gazzaniga
    TAA, Maguire, Soyuncu
    Mane, KDB, Martial, Maddison
    Vardy, Ings, DCL

    It can wait another week for the DGW, although Lloris return may force Gazzaniga out by then as I don’t have a playing 2nd keeper.

    1. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'd do it this GW, probably a net even points. THen you'll have an FT next GW.

  10. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Quick check:

    Ryan
    TAA Söy Webster
    Salah(c) Mane KDB Cantwell
    Vardy(vc) Ings Jimenez

    Bench: McGovern Grealish Lundstram Rico
    2FT, 0.0 itb

    Using one FT to get rid of Rico, which is best

    A) Rico - Williams (ManU)
    B) Rico - Stephens (So'ton)

    cheers

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I am also wondering about Williams but not yet convinced about nailedness which is almost everything for me when we discuss max 4.5 def.

      1. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Would be 5th defender, so not a big deal imho.

  11. AC Yew
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Double pool defence necessary this week or can wait till week after?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Well you can't have 4 Liverpool players

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      wait.

    3. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Wait

    4. YEAH PITCH!

      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wait

  12. fc_skrald
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    a. Kelly + Maddison -> Robertson + Cantwell (and get Rashford for Jimenez next week)
    b. Kelly + Aurier -> Robertson + Williams
    c. Kelly -> Williams and save a transfer for next week

    Martin
    TAA, Digne, Lundstram
    Salah, KDB, Maddison, Grealish
    Vardy, Ings, Jiménez

    Guaita, Aurier, Hayden, Kelly
    2 FT, 1,8 million

  13. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    So... Is Rashford > DCL worth a hit?

    I'm going to be doing it almost for sure next week anyway to fund Salah for a hit. So I can take the hit now instead?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah do it this week. You using (TC) in 24 and on who?

    2. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yea

    3. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I have the same decision to make only Rashford >> Maupay to fund Maddison > Mane next week.

      I’m hesitating because if I make the move I will have to bench one of Sarr or Cantwell so I may just bench Rashford and make the call next week.
      Maupay will be off the table next week though as Villa will be missed.
      Holding Rashford still leaves the door open next week to choose between Robertson,Mane or Firmino. Which might be the better call . I’d be kicking myself this week if One of the Liverpool gets injured or sent off against United.

      Of course it’s your call.

      1. Andre_The_Giant
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I’m in the exact same boat. Rashford more than likely dropping tonight makes me lean towards selling this week rather than next.

        1. The 12th Man
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I can afford one price drop.

    4. melvinmbabazi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      NO

  14. LloristheHounds
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is KDB a must have even if you are chasing ML by 100 points?

    My alternative is to go aguero atm

    1. luk46
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      very risky to say the least... Aguero great option, but could be rotated any time

  15. Dazzrb
    • 10 Years

    Rico to who? 0.1 ITB...

    1. Pompel
      • 12 Years

      Stephens, Holgate, Webster or Williams,

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Williams or Stephens

    3. Gazza2000

    One will come in, which one?

    A) DCL (Better stats)
    B) Maupay (Better fixtures)

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      A for me

    2. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

    3. Andre_The_Giant
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Debating the exact same decision myself. DCL seems more explosive but don’t know if I trust him.

    4. luk46
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      tough, I went with Maupay for the next 2-3, Villa are so bad defensively, so are Bournemouth...

  21. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Martial to:

    A. Alli
    B. Mahrez
    C. Pepe
    D. Richarlison
    E. Keep Martial

    1. Snooze ya lose

    2. danlynch13
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking about martial > Richarlison myself but not sure is it worth it... feel though it almost like Richarlison has two games while the pool game is abit of a right off

    3. Rock n Grohl

          Had to bring him in for Grealish, but I know what you mean... Hes fast and strong, but got no end product at all, you can use Aurier to upgrade him nicely tho
