Using FFS data and tools to find the best De Bruyne replacement for Gameweek 20

Just when Fantasy Premier League managers thought they could breathe and relax after Double Gameweek 19, many of us now have injury problems to solve.

Ahead of Tuesday’s deadline, Kevin De Bruyne (£11.9m) has been ruled out for “four to six weeks” with a muscular injury and needs replacing.

When these sorts of developments occur, there is a fantastic opportunity for Fantasy managers. With everyone going in a different direction from a common player all at once, the potential for green arrows goes up – if you can make the right choice. And, because Gameweeks 20 to 23 take place in a span of 14 days, the FPL landscape is going to change very quickly.

Accordingly, I have gone over some De Bruyne replacements to help you make the right choice ahead of Gameweek 20. As this uses extensive data from the Fantasy Football Scout Premium Members Area, only those with a valid subscription can access it in full.

    Antonio blocking Soucek's late runs into the box is he? He just fed one!

    I was swayed to bench him. I'm not listening to you "pro" pundits any more

    1. mozzatechmo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      That's 2 now!!!

      Pro pundit hang your head in shame. WORSE TIP EVER.

        Soucek got to be the biggest bench scorer in FPL history!

          Did you read the piece this week on the merits of getting DCL and ditching Bamford? More top tips. I really do think the standard has fallen on the scout articles, a lot of the Pro Pundits have ranks in the millions
