Watchlist

The FPL Watchlist: Salah, Isak + Shaw among the risers

The Watchlist takes a medium-term look at the more desirable Fantasy Premier League (FPL) transfer targets, rather than concentrating on just the upcoming Gameweek as the Scout Picks does.

We’ve recently had our weekly refresh, with the main changes explained below.

There’s a bigger caveat than usual about the list, as we’ve yet to hear any of the pre-match press conferences and there was a wave of flags added in FPL over the international break.

Nick Pope (£5.4m), Marcus Rashford (£7.3m) and Erling Haaland (£12.0m) are among the players featured in this piece who are marked down as ‘75% doubts’ and we’ll of course revisit their standings on Friday evening if it turns out that their respective knocks and niggles are set to lead to absences of any significant duration.

ABOUT THE WATCHLIST

FPL friendlies round-up: Odegaard and Doherty looking sharp as White returns 1

We typically concentrate on a four-to-six-Gameweek lookahead when compiling the Watchlist but it’d be remiss not to be thinking about what lies just beyond that hill, as Newcastle United, Brighton and Hove Albion, Chelsea and the two Manchester clubs still have at least one more Double Gameweek to come after Gameweek 34.

Players are selected and ranked according to factors such as form, club injuries, forthcoming fixtures, Rate My Team’s points projections and whether or not the player in question is likely to be a bargain in FPL.

Arrows before the name indicate whether a player has climbed or fallen in our reckoning since the previous update or if they are a new entry into the tables.

We typically toe the line with FPL’s definition of ‘form’ (average points accrued in matches played over the last 30 days) but here we’ve incorporated Gameweek 25 onwards.

The key for the factors you’ll see in the below tables is as follows:

    Any reason not to use a one free transfer on Ødegaard to Bruno tonight as looks like there may be a price increase ?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      no reason

    2. Assisting the assister

  6. Scalper

    Looking to enable Øde > Bruno, but need to get rid of badiashile

    A) Badiashile > Martinez (can’t get shaw rest of season)

    B) Badiashile > Fofana

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      a. what about castagne?

      1. Scalper
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Hmm could be an option. Good fixtures coming up

  7. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Not seeing much Bowen or Benrhama punts.

    1. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Bowen could be an amazing differential this week.

  8. Pedersen
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Will either Sanchez or ward get place back this GW? (I am the lucky guy that had both replaced GK)
    I guess ward is out following the news. Is Sanchez too?

    1. KeanosMagic
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      What news?

      1. Pedersen
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Rodgers saying Iversen will get a run of games after last match

  9. KeanosMagic
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    DDG and Estupinan or Steele and Shaw?

    1. cruzex
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      DE gea + est

      easy

      1. thom830g

  10. upforgrabs

    Who to sell for Shaw?

    A) Henry
    or
    B) Gabriel

    1. Snake Juice
      • 7 Years

      1. Connor's Calling
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

  11. RamboRN
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Kepa ward
    Mee white trips botman chillwell
    Marti maddi rash mac mitoma
    Toney kane haaland

    Thinking of bb this week, good choice? I also have 4m itb and 1 ft any advice on transfers?

    1. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Good choice. Need to get rid of ward though as Iversen is first choice for the time being.

      1. Goodfeathers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Maybe Ward to Steele?

  12. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Already got Mitoma and Rashford, so Odegaard to:

    a) Mac Allister (enough cash to get Haaland for GW30)

    b) Bruno (go without Haaland until GW34)

    1. thom830g
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      A

  13. The Final Boss
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Saka ode to Bruno Barnes -4 today, have exactly the correct cash to bring Haaland back in for Toney..

    1. Sun God Nika
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      No to saka

  14. Dynamic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Does anyone know when the press conferences are for the following teams this week?

    A) Manchester United
    B) Manchester City
    C) Arsenal

  15. Ian Davis
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    A) Martinelli > Bruno (-4)
    B) Martinelli > Maddison (-4)
    C) Keep

    1. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      C

  16. Lucky Z
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Which one for FT?

    JWP to

    A. Maddison
    B. Bruno
    C. Salah

    1. thom830g
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Bruno

  17. thom830g
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    What to do?

    1FT and 5.1 ITB. BB active.

    A) martinelli -> Barnes / bowen
    B) martinelli + Kane -> Bruno + Isak (-4)
    C) Gabriel -> Shaw
    D) Gabriel -> Estupinan

    Team is:
    Raya - Kepa
    Trippier - Gabriel - mee - schär - chilwell
    Rash - Saka - martinelli - mitoma - March
    Kane - watkins - Toney

  18. Øgaard it's Haa…
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 2 months ago

    My big gamble is Kane > Haaland for GW29, and cap him for a haul v LIV, knowing most are waiting to get him back in GW30. His haul will also help cover the -8 I'm taking for DGWers. Everything is crossed! 🙂

    1. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Hope you have cover on bench for Haaland

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Why ?
        Is he still injured ?

        1. Lucky Z
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          Flag says that he is

      2. Øgaard it's Haa…
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Doing BB.

    2. Roshen

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Wouldn’t be buying Haaland for Kane this week. Can see unshackled Kane scoring big v Everton while Haaland an injury doubt to even play- at least wait for press conference update and possible early team news as City play early game Saturday

  19. The Final Boss
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Guys Gabriel saka ode to shaw Barnes Bruno -8? Know it's risky but it's for 3 decent doublers right? Ode fall or Bruno rise will keep me priced out of this from getting haaland in for Toney..

    1. Snake Juice
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Nay for me

  20. jimbe4mXL
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Whats the reason for people to go with Mac Alister instead of March as a second Brighton mid to partner with Mitoma? Isnt March the better choice?

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Mac Allister's xGI stats are much higher in recent matches and is on pens. If stays in his more advanced position then seems like the better choice for me

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      In my opinion all 3 are equal and so close to each other for getting same points

  21. OptimusBlack
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Who can get more pts this GW ??
    A- Zinchenko LEE (H)
    B- Henry BHA (A) Manu (A)
    Want to keep one and the other sell to Shaw

    1. Snake Juice
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Zinchenko

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      A. Zinchenko more likely to get a clean sheet and Henry could end up with 2 points.

    3. mdm
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Similar issue here, but with Mee and Zinc. I am selling Zinc for Shaw

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        If I have Mee would may keep but Zinchenko better than Henry

        1. Free Hat
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          Why would you sell Henry, but not Mee?

          Henry looked the more attacking threat in recent gws...(dont expect cs either)

          1. Fellaini's Fro
            • 10 Years
            1 year, 2 months ago

            This, Henry will play WB

    4. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Thxxx guys

  22. dparran
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Any comments on Navas as a differential? Or template move to Kepa? Or other keepers?

    Already have 3 BHA players - So no Steele

    1. Fellaini's Fro
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Going for Kepa, as template as he is overall ownership still less than 10

  23. SomeoneKnows
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Kepa
    Trippier Estupinan Mee Botman
    Rashford Maddison Mitoma
    Toney Watkins Kane

    (Raya Saka Martinelli Zinchenko)
    1FT + 5.5 itb

    GW29 - Estupinan > Shaw (& BB)
    GW30 - Toney > Haaland
    GW31 - Roll
    GW32 - Haaland + Madisson > Mitrovich + Salah (11 players)
    GW33 - Kane > Haaland
    GW34 - FH

    Solid plan?

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Why Estupian rather than Mee > Shaw.

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Yes Sold

    3. Øgaard it's Haa…
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Mitrovic? Not sure his apology is going to help him.

    4. Fellaini's Fro
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      You have less than 10 transfers this season.

      I wouldn't spend a third of them ping ponging the top point scorer around

  24. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Bruno going up tonight?

  25. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on my decision?

    A) Save FT
    B) Save FT + bench Henry for Saka
    C) Odegaard > Bruno (Try and sell 3 blankers (instead of 2) with all 3 FTs before BGW32 for a full XI) + bench Henry

    Ward
    Trippier Botman* Chilwell Henry
    Rashford* Mitoma March
    Felix Toney Watkins

    Iversen | Saka, Odegaard, Gabriel

    1FT. 11.3 ITB
    Only WC & FH remaining

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      B

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Cheers, leaning towards saving, but also slightly towards playing Henry rn

        1. Gandalf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          Clean sheet looking unlikely against Brighton/Man Utd, and Saka in great form and 18 pointer in last home game, so even with the extra game I'd side with Saka personally

          1. Deulofail
            • 8 Years
            1 year, 2 months ago

            I would say that 1 clean sheet is more likely than 0 and Brentford defence has done well away recently, including against City and Arsenal who are better than Brighton and Man Utd. It's a close call for me still

  26. cruzex
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    ings or watkins?

  27. The Final Boss
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Would like to know whether ode fall and Bruno rise happen tonight? Or is it any wc,fh effect?

  28. berneslai
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Haven't used any chips yet. I don't have enough bench doublers to bother with the BB this GW so will save that for GW34. When do I play TC?

  29. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Is it possible in the members area to see an average position map for a team?

    If so, how?

  30. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Saka to Bruno
    Or
    Gabriel to Shaw
    For my 13 th doubler
