In his latest article, two-time Indian Fantasy Premier League (FPL) champion Lateriser debates which attacking players he should buy and sell when using two free transfers in Gameweek 36.

Lateriser final four Gameweeks

From a decision perspective, it’s all a bit in the air for me right now and that does feel odd. Generally speaking, I am fairly decisive but I feel like these calls might be made in the final minutes before the deadline.

I hope that writing this article and talking to you, plus myself, will help bring clarity to these choices.

To assess things, let’s look at things from an odds perspective, using the help of Solio Analytics and Rob T.

These 20 teams are sorted by projected goals until the end of the season.

          Salah to KDB makes little sense as a risk. KDB is the most bought player this week so the differential upside isn’t there. He’s overall ownership is slightly misleading given how much of the game is dead teams by GW36

          Raw points isn’t a very good indication of form. 15 points at home to Leicester skews that analysis. Wolves don’t play Leicester again.

              I’m not claiming Wissa is a better player than Cunha. I’m claiming he has stronger fixtures and the form to go with it.

              I can understanding going for Cunha. But it you are even slightly concerned about his minutes it becomes a no brainer for me.

    Madness to go Haaland this week? For whatever it's worth The Guardian's predicted team lineups for SOU has EH starting and Marmoush on the bench; also stands to reason (I think anyway) that SOU would certainly be a gentle re-introduction into life as an elite PL striker... I'm chasing in my ML and right now have him as my (C) in my latest draft. Someone talk me out of it! Or don't!

      I would if I could afford him without taking hits. I feel like Southampton is the ideal team to reintroduce him and, even if he doesn’t start, there’s a good chance he’ll get something off the bench. I’ve gone De Bruyne myself but feel like Haaland is a better long term punt!

      Chasing by a good bit as well - I wouldn't take a hit for a keeper personally, the likelihood of recovering the return just isn't great (even against SOU) - I picked up Schade as a makeweight for Haaland, which I know will be a differential between myself and the manager I'm chasing - anything like that in your wheelhouse?

    I have thought this for some time but watching Sunderland tonight, have non-twin siblings ever looked more alike than Jobe and Jude?

    Dead zone, so this is more of a rant, ha! Sunderland fan a a child and parents still are. Great result and seeing the legend Kevin Phillips as a pundit on Sky, love that guy. As a negative, from the crowd shots, i have never seen a more male crowd in my life. 99.5% i suspect. I now know why my Mum stopped going in the mid 80s. Very sad for a great club x

      I don't care, but I'm potentially interested in any gurning skills you may have. Are you a real gurner, or just a fan of gurning? Thanks.
