With one eye on Gameweek 17 and the other on the Double Gameweek, Az looks at some low-owned FPL players to in his latest Pro Pundits piece.


Hi everyone, hope you all had a great Christmas (even under strange circumstances) and are looking forward to the New Year and 2021.

I’m not going to focus this article on my team as Mark and I will be discussing what’s going wrong for me in our next episode of FPL BlackBox.

Instead, I’m going to present some differentials ahead of the upcoming Double Gameweek. I’m building my side out with the Free Hit in Gameweek 18 in mind, which leaves me free to plan who to have in place ready for Gameweek 19 – how exciting!

      My team looks very hot for this gw. Really hope all games go through except the ones I don’t have players in 🙂

        Team?

        1. Party time
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Martinez
            Targett Dallas Webster
            Neto Bruno Son Salah
            Martial Bamford Vardy

            Attack cancels the defence other than that, it looks very good tbh

            1. Party time
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Above. I would love to take a hit to bring in a premium defender but I din’t think it is worth it given the covid drama going on

          3. seewhyaxe
            • 9 Years

            Seriously considering doubling up Martinelli + Saka.

            Am I too gunnerish here?

            1. Dreams
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Definitely. Arsenal are not the team to run after at the moment.

            2. how now brown cow
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Depends on bgw/dgw strategy and what importance you place on it.

              Decent single 19 fixture.

            3. sozopol
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Way too Gunnerish. I would recommend zero Gunners.

            Too bad Gw for forst time after Wildcard in 11 years , scraped 42 somehow.
            1 FT and 0.7 ITB , any suggestion what to do or roll the FT for now.

            Johnstone Areola
            Taylor Dallas Kwp Castagne Coufal
            Son Fernandes Salah Soucek Lookman
            Bamford Vardy Tammy
            Please help.

            1. Davros
              • 16 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              If you are FH next week then don’t roll the transfer as it will be lost.
              42 is above average

          5. Letsgo!
            • 9 Years

            So tempted to sell kane for vardy! Should i?

            1. sozopol
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              I have both. So, no.

          6. St. Joseph
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Pieters 4.3 as Charlie Taylor replacement?

            1. how now brown cow
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Not unless Taylor is ruled out for some time.

              Even then fixtures arent great after double.

            2. Canadian Football
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

              good question, i thought it was Lowton

            3. Davros
              • 16 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Wait to see if it goes ahead as Fulham may not be able to play

            If you have 2 ft’s and then you free hit can you use those 2 tfrs the following week or do you lose one?

            1. how now brown cow
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Lose

            4. Davros
              • 16 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              You can’t make transfers in FH week. You will lose it

          8. aleksaa2
            • 9 Years

            Planning on FH19 and fielding in for BGW18.
            Would you do KDB and Che Adams for Kane and Zaha?

            Chilwell or Dias as Lamptey replacement?
            Will be using FH in 18

            1 FT. 0.7ITB. Who to ship out first and for who? Taylor or Matip.

            Martinez
            Dallas Coufal Bednarek
            KDB Bruno Salah Son

                Actually have exact cash for Chilwell

                1. Dreams
                  • 9 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Sell Matip. He's made of glass. Always a headache owning him.

          11. Bielsa Murderball
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Building towards 18, so what to do with Pope? Surely remove him now for Leno/Martinez after all the Burnley-Fulham doubts?

          12. Avery
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Pick 3 to play from these for next GW -
            A. Dallas (TOT) A
            B. Coufal (EVE) A
            C. Zouma (MCI) H
            D. Mitchell (SHU) H
            E. Stones (CHE) A

            I was thinking
            A,C,D
            What do you think?

            1. Dreams
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Stones Coufal Mitchell

              1. Canadian Football
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                you reckon Mitchel is first choice now?

                1. Dreams
                  • 9 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Nope. But he has a good chance of a cleansheet if he starts. I would be willing to risk it.

                  1. TRE2
                    • 8 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    And if he doesnt start likely to stay off the field

            2. Avery
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Dallas & Zouma for potential attacking returns. Mitchell for the home potential clean sheet and if he doesn’t play have Coufal #1 on bench

            3. Lazaretti
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              You probably end up playing with A & B anyway maybe Mitchell too

            4. Party time
                5 years, 1 month ago

                • 11 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Have I missed something? Is Mitchell nailed on to start? Could easily get a 1 pointer.

                1. aleksaa2
                  • 9 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Far from nailed, but he should play. PVA is not having a good season, they really need some changes in their defence and he was MOTM against Lei and also I don't know why he doesn't play as a RB because Joel Ward is by far the worst in the league

                2. Hughes Your Daddy
                  • 13 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Mitchell I would say is guaranteed plenty of play time (although hard to state nailed) he’s defensively stronger than PVA and Roy is reportedly a big fan. He had the most successful tackles in the prem the first 6 weeks or so. Right now Roy really needs to build us up from the back again with Tomkins also back now.

              • 9 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Harvey Barnes a good option for next few?

              1. Dreams
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Yes. A good option as a differential but could easily frustrate you.

            6. Lazaretti
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Totally lost what to do? 1FT 0.3 itb Plan was to use just TC on Salah for DGW but he seems to be icecold atm.

              Martinez
              Cancelo - Dallas - Coufal
              KdB - Salah - Son - Fernandes
              Adams - Wilson - Bamford
              Peacock - Klich - Taylor - Kilman

              Taylor out maybe but do who to bring in?

                • 6 Years

                creswell?

                1. Lazaretti
                  • 8 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Too expensive, but could get another WHU defender though not sure who is nailed anymore. Dawson/Fredericks came to mix things. Thank you.

                        🙁

                        Would you start Klich over Neto, Bednarek over Targett or would you take a hit to improve the defence??

                        Please help, cheers

                      Want to get in a Crystal Palace defender for SHU then the blank game week. Who is most nailed to start both? Clyde?

                      1. aleksaa2
                        • 9 Years
                        5 years, 1 month ago

                        Bonnie is a bit more nailed than Clyde.

                        1. aleksaa2
                          • 9 Years
                          5 years, 1 month ago

                          Kouyate is, but he ain't a defender. Probably PVA, but he is too expensive for a CPY defender. If you really want one, I'd gamble with Tomkins.

                      • 12 Years
                      5 years, 1 month ago

                      3.4m to use on this weeks transfer. (FH 18. BB 19.)
                      Martinez
                      TAA, Dias, Dallas
                      Salah,Fernandes, Grealish,Raphinia
                      Kane,Watkins,Bamford

                      Johnstone, Soucek, Coufal, Ferguson

                      A) Double up on Liverpool defence. Ferguson > Robertson
                      B) Double up on ManUtd attack. Grealish > Rashford
                      C) Ferguson > Bednarek and bench. Leaving funds itb for gw19 transfer.

                      1. drughi
                        • 16 Years
                        5 years, 1 month ago

                        I like both A and B but A is a better all round move for the squad

                        1. The 12th Man
                          • 12 Years

                          Yeh A is tempting but I’d have to either change to a back 4 or bench Dallas.

                      I'm lost kindly help have 1.4itb & I FT

                      Martinez
                      Dias - Coufal - Dallas - Taylor*
                      KDB - Son - Salah - Bruno - Grealish
                      Bamford

                      McCarthy - Rodrigo - KWP - Brewster

                      who to replace Taylor with ? thinking to wait for this GW and let the bench do its work or bring in budget def ?

                        U can ride out next gw, plan for gw19 if u fh gw18

                          That's what even I'm thinking that Taylor starts both the DGW and it's a win for me let's see

                            Taylor wont play two games in gw19, too much for hamstring

                            1. Akshatjazz

                              If it's so then I have to bring in a DGW player to get full benefit of bench boost

                      Mitchell to Dallas the obvious move here?
                      1ft 0.9itb.

                      --Martinez
                      --Robbo--Dias--Coufal
                      --Salah--Bruno--Son--Soucek
                      --Kane--Bam--DCL

                      --Johnstone--KWP--Mitchell--Burke.

                      Thanks guys.

                      What to do with City players? Any idea about who all have tested positive?

                      Doing FH18, but seems like my FT would be burned, with no money ITB, thoughts?

                      Martinez Steer
                      Robbo Chilwell Creswell Coufal Dallas
                      Salah Bruno Son Raphinha March

                        Kane > Vardy maybe to free up funds.
                        Guess your not BB in 19.

                        If your happy with it then burn.

                          Half minded on BB19
                          Can pull a - 8 in 19 to field a BB team
                          Something like Kane + March + Steer - > Vardy + Soucek + Playink GK (-8)

                          But that's for GW19
                          Don't want to lose Kane against Leeds

                      2 FT's and not sure what to do. Matip needs to go so maybe just bring Dier in, but I'm not sure he will play. Thoughts?

                      Martinez
                      Dias Robertson James
                      Son Bruno Zaha Grealish
                      DCL Bamford Kane

                      Mccarthy Justin Podence Matip

                        I am going to FH in 19 I should say as have a number of BGW players. That's why I am thinking Dier.

                      Start DCL or soucek?

                      Guys opinions needed

                      A) Matip KDB --------> Rashford Robbo IN (-4)

                      B) Matip -----> Saiss / Cresswell

                      Will have Robbo for DGW either way

                      Taylor to holding or save FT?
                      I can keep Taylor but if both zouma & Taylor are out, won't have enough defenders

                      Should I do Kdb + DCL to Rash and Vardy? Or Kdb + DCL to Rash and Kane

                      Need a lot of help...team's a bit of a mess in terms of play time

                      WCd in 16, with the intent of FH 18, BB 19.

                      McCarthy - Johnstone
                      Robbo - TAA - Bednarek - James* - Balbuena*
                      Salah - Fernandes - Son - Rapinha - Soucek
                      Abraham* - Bamford - Adams

                      1 FT, 0.6 ITB

                      Marked players didn't even play this gameweek—how likely are they going to be playing their double headers? How do I use my FT?
