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

Heading towards Gameweek 32 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 notes: Semenyo nears ban, United's new

It was a rare off-week for the Blank Gameweek 31 selection, where the only success came from Bruno Fernandes (£10.3m).

His penalty broke the deadlock at Bournemouth but, surprisingly, Marcus Tavernier (£5.4m) didn’t step up when the Cherries had their own spot-kick.

      No surprise there. Wishing him the best!

    Breaking! Salah to leave Liverpool at the end of the season. I thought he already left…

      Get him in WC GW33? Surely he'll want to go out with bang.

    Salah leaving Pool at end of season, talk of Haaland to Barcelona, Saka and Palmer underperforming their double figure FPL prices. At this rate are we going to have any premium priced (10.0m+) attackers next season. Bruno maybe.

      It took many years for the penny to drop on this, but my first season playing 10-11, there no players that exceeded 200 points. I think Nani may have got to 198 iirc

        Leading points scorers in 2010-11 were Nani 198, Adams 192, Malouda 186, Tevez 185.
        Players finishing the season at 10.0m+ were: Lampard 13.0, Drogba 12.2, Rooney 11.8, Fabregas 11.7, Tevez 11.5, Gerrard 11.3, Torres 11.2, van Persie 11.0
        Some big names there!

      Brunos been 12.5 I think historically. Could be heading back that way

        In 2021/22, Bruno started the season at 12.0m and finished at 11.6m.
        He also started 2020/21 at 10.5m and 2022/23 at 10.0m.

      I came really close to putting the TC on him that match. Obviously it wasn’t a DGW, but the main thing that put me off was that I was playing footy that same evening so wouldn’t have been able to watch it. Regrets

      Hes not been running down the wing since covid. Does that same cut in off the right, stick it in the top left trick. I saw it about 30 times last year, no idea how the LBs in the league didn't wise up. Send him down the line hes got no legs or a right peg

    With Salah leaving and Haaland (probably) being more appropriately priced next season: will it even be possible to spend the whole 100m budget?

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      12 days, 18 hours ago

      Reduce the budget to 80m and make the game more interesting.

        I like it but that would require PL to confess that they league has lost a lot of star power. I predict that there instead will be a lot of inflation. Players like Semenyo and JP will cost 10-10.5m.

      I think there could (there should) be a major shakeup in the pricing. They've got defcon wrong this year and if they want to keep it as it is they need to raise the price on pretty much all the cbs to 5m minimum. Gabriel could be coming in at 7.5-8m given hes on for a 200+ season. Similar story with mids the regular defconners are going to get a hike

      i occasionally see content put out by the official fpl webstie, you know like their scout etc, sometimes catch the tv programs/have them on in the background and they never really seem to refer to the XI now, its always squad, squad, squad. i wonder if fpl towers just see this as a squad game now, like they don't intend for you to put your budget solely into the XI anymore like most used to with just fodder on the bench.

      made me think the pricing structure they've had for the last few years now is not a mistake, its purposefully designed that way. maybe the semi-casuals just prefer it this way, keeps engagement higher throughout the season? dont know but yeah

      No need to change the 100m budget. They can always raise the prices all round.
      And we'll be complaining as usual that we can't afford the best players from this season, but many of them will perform less well next time, and other stars will emerge to replace them..

    Liverpool ranked 15th in penalties received this season and all of a sudden Mr. Salah decides to call it a day

    Appreciation post

    Salah=FPL
    So many controversies, especially this season & with Mané but he'll be remembered as a Legend. I'll miss those peak moments & how I used to laugh with friends when Mo killed/helped our FPL ranks.

    The way he often tormented Manchester utd, that exquisite lob from long range that left Ederson in no man's land, delightful derby screamer vs Everton, hatty against Watford & thunderbolt vs Chelsea at Anfield.

    The Greatest African Footballer in the PL.
    Thanks for the FPL points, Mo!

    Fav Salah memory, reliable TC hauls aside, is the zambian witch doctor drama. Not a superstitious man but that nearly made me one. crazy

      haul off the bench vs palace

    I actually think hes done them a favour. If hes writing off the 400k a week wages that is a gift for them in the summer. They need depth badly and they need to find a system that gets the best out of these two attacking full backs who they are ruining currently. Salah cannot be carried defensively any longer. The fall from grace for them and him is huge this season. They could legit finish bottom half still

      Saudi must be offering him an absolute wedge for him to walk away from that money

    Premier league can reduce one Cup competition to increase quality of the players.

    1. x.jim.x

      Those 6 Carabao games over 6 months are what’s wrong with the schedule aye

      1. OverTinker

        Number of games in UCL have already been increased. The teams in other leagues have very kind fixture dates even for UCL but there is no such thing in EPL and EPL is probably the only league with two cup competitions

        1. OverTinker
          • 7 Years

          *for UCL teams

          So smaller clubs should lose out on a chance at silverware because UEFA are greedy

            Epl should be priority

              Not hard to see why the game’s in the state it’s in when you get drivel like this
