Joe’s highly popular ‘Goals Imminent’ statistics from the Members Area is the basis for this weekly article.

Heading towards Double Gameweek 26 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL), we try to identify some more underachieving players who look ‘due’ for a goal and/or assist.

Naturally, we’ll attempt to assess whether they’re unlucky, suffering a rare blip, or just aren’t particularly good.


LAST WEEK’S SUCCESSES

FPL new signings: Is Taty or Pablo the best West Ham forward pick?

Gameweek 25 went really well for these predictions. The top two names, Taty Castellanos (£5.5m) and Morgan Rogers (£7.6m), both netted on Saturday afternoon, joined by Tolu Arokodare (£5.4m) and Erling Haaland‘s (£14.9m) 11-point haul.

The latter entered with one goal in seven, but assisted Manchester City’s equaliser before scoring from the penalty spot.

Another spectacular Dominik Szoboszlai (£6.7m) free-kick put Liverpool ahead. He appeared on both tables, like Rogers, though received a late red card. The Hungarian is therefore missing Gameweek 26.

As for Crysencio Summerville (£5.6m), he is still ‘due’ an assist – and instead scored for the fourth match in a row.

        Which BB looks better?

        A) Darlow (che), Reinildo (LIV), Enzo (LEE), Chalobah (LEE)
        B) Darlow (avl) Reinildo (FUL), Nunes (NEW), KDH (MUN)

        1. Mr Turnip 1
            18 days, 18 hours ago

            I like A just about, but do you really want to bench Enzo and Chalobah??? It’s very close but I’d pic as just for those two Chelsea lads tbh

              I have to bench them with my current squad setup. So yeah maybe I just BB in 26 and get it over with. I'm not happy to bench them.

          • OLB
            • 10 Years

            A for sure out of those two

          Start 2 from:

          A) Chalobah
          B) Cash
          C) Wilson
          D) Thiago

          Currently on A and B

          1. Mr Turnip 1
              18 days, 18 hours ago

              AB looks good

                  Yeah it’s shocked me too this season, price rises gone mad.
                  Doesn’t benefit if you don’t sell them though..!!

              How does this look for a -4 ?
              chasing 80 points...

              Pope Chalobah Wilson ➡️ Raya Hill Sarr

              Targeting Burnley Wolves could pay off

              1. FantasyClub
                • 5 Years
                18 days, 18 hours ago

                Team is

                Pope/Dub
                Timber/Gab/Chalobah/Slab head/Alderete
                Palmer/Semenyo/Fruno/Mbeumo/Wilson

                • 10 Years
                18 days, 17 hours ago

                I’d just change Pope to Kellerher. The other two look like downgrades.

                  • 5 Years
                  18 days, 17 hours ago

                  So in other words you're suggesting to do nothing this week?
                  Since its BRE v ARS

                  1. OLB
                    • 10 Years
                    18 days, 17 hours ago

                    Yup

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              18 days, 18 hours ago

              Thiaw, O'Reilly to Munoz, Hill worth a -4?

            7. Pep Roulette
              • 8 Years
              18 days, 18 hours ago

              A. Tarkowski to Munoz for -4
              B. Play Tarkowski
              C. Play Konsa

              1. OLB
                • 10 Years
                18 days, 17 hours ago

                I’d play B. Not convinced on buying any Palace players now, they look shaky.

            8. Not Rico Henry
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 2 Years
              18 days, 17 hours ago

              Who would you buy?

              A. Zubimendi
              B. Trossard (haven't heard any news on him)
              C. Martinelli/Madueke

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              18 days, 17 hours ago

              Play one
              A - Chalobah home to Leeds
              B - Guéhi home to Fulham

              1. OLB
                • 10 Years
                18 days, 17 hours ago

                I’ve gone A, but thinking of changing to B, cos Donna is a better keeper than Sanchez, who’s erratic

              2. tucaoneo
                • 7 Years
                18 days, 17 hours ago

                I'm struggling with this too. Currently on A.

              3. tucaoneo
                • 7 Years
                18 days, 17 hours ago

                Honestly I want to play both. But that means benching Ekitike. Just can't accept benching someone that expensive even though it may be the rational thing to do...

                Just got Munoz, too good to ignore.
                I prefer Gabriel.

                  Cheers CO! Well…..just before you replied, I just made the move, couldn’t resist, and I’m tired of Chalobah’s 2-4 pointers, at least Munoz we know wants to attack and is more threatening, glad I did the move 🙂
                  Gabriel it is then, I don’t think I can trust Rice as much.

                is Thiaw to Munoz the best move for me?

                    No. Had this question in gw23. Went evanilson. Even though Pedro has outscored Evanilson, I still believe evanilson can outscore him for the next 6. Maybe for a FT but not for a hit

                    I chose Evanilson over JP two weeks ago and it has cost me. I'd like to rectify that mistake and bring JP in for Evanilson. But that ship has sailed as JPs good fixtures worsen over the next couple of weeks.

                      I lost patience and did 1 but probably should have done 2 for the better upside.

                        I have option 1, so I’m biased, but certainly think it’s the better option anyway.

                      Really need to do something about my GK situation. Have narrowed it down to 3 options but can't decide the best route. Any help?

                      I have a massive benching headache.. Which two to bench from this quartet: Enzo, Semenyo, Wirtz, Ekitike?
