Lateriser on Gakpo, Amad + his Assistant Manager punt

20 February 2025 130 comments

Lateriser 12

In his latest article, two-time Indian Fantasy Premier League (FPL) champion Lateriser speaks about his own team’s dilemmas, regarding Cody Gakpo (£7.6m), Amad Diallo (£5.5m), captaincy and the Assistant Manager chip.

There are a fair few forced decisions for FPL managers this week. I have several to make myself, which I’d like to discuss.

Like many, I have a few injuries to deal with. Amad is likely out for the season and Gakpo will cut it close in regards to Sunday’s trip to Manchester City, according to Arne Slot.

I also have the decision of whether to pick a new Assistant Manager or stick with Unai Emery. Since I’m struggling at a lowly 860k rank, I need to push the pedal a fair bit. Which is why I’m going to take a third high-ceiling shot at accumulating 20+ points.

CHOOSING AN ASSISTANT

Before going any further, I recommend reading Neale’s Assistant Manager table bonus analysis, which is as good as it gets.

  What are you doing re chips? With 1FT, I think I'd roll, but B looks OK as well.
  
  If you are FH29, Gordon will need to go, but maybe not this week

  I've got the dilemma of which option to do (Replace Slot or Amad to Dango) and atm I'm pretty set now on replacing Amad even though it'll give me a bad benching headache. Don't think its worth a hit to switch Slot

  No, because you would need to have a big haul from your other choice of AM in order to justify the hit. Also, there is a chance that Liverpool beat City.

Who is the best replacement for Morgan Rogers?

A) Nwaneri
B) Minteh
C) Other (please specify)

I have 5.6m to spend and already have Kluivert (don't want double Bournemouth midfield)

  Having Kluivert won't affect how Dango scores.

Just out of interest, for someone playing through GW29, saving FH and maybe not WC until 35 depending on how the doubles fall, how would you rank the forward options available, or alternatively which 3 would you go for?
1. Wood
2. Wissa
3. Gakpo
4. Cunha
5. Marmoush
6. Watkins
7. Isak
8. Mateta
9. Anyone else.

Currently I have 1,4 & 7. Wood has been brilliant for me since I got him on WC6, but I'm tempted to let him go for a City asset. Mad?
