Watchlist Update – Kane and Spurs colleagues rise ahead of fixture swing

We have updated our Watchlist ahead of Gameweek 14 of Fantasy Premier League.

This is our tool, which can be found on the sidebar of the website, that ranks each of the best Fantasy options in each position. We use factors such as form, fixtures and value to choose the order.

There have been some big changes in midfield and attack as well as a return of some popular budget assets in defence.

Harry Kane (£12.3m) is the biggest riser among the forwards as Spurs’ fixture swing is imminent. The man himself is in form having recorded attacking returns in each of his last three outings and, in that time, his underlying statistics are finally consistently at the level we have come to expect from him. Kane will go up against Southampton, Leicester and Burnley in three of his next four matches, all of which he has scored hat-tricks against in the past. Meanwhile, his Gameweek 14 encounter sees him travel to Arsenal. He has five goals in his last six encounters with Spurs’ north London rivals.

Sergio Aguero (£11.5m) remains the top striker despite recent discoveries about his away form. The Gameweek 14 match against Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium has him as a serious captain candidate this week.

It’s a double delight for owners of Crystal Palace defensive assets as Wayne Hennessey (£4.5m) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.2m) come back onto the Watchlist. Having emerged from the gauntlet of facing Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and Manchester United in four consecutive Gameweeks, the Eagles now fare much better on the Season Ticker. Only two teams rank higher than them for defence over the next four Gameweeks, with Burnley (home), Brighton (away), West Ham (away) and Leicester (home) their next four opponents.

Making way for the pair are Burnley’s Joe Hart (£4.5m) and Watford’s Kiko Femenia (£4.3m). Both players have tough fixtures coming up and neither club has been adept at keeping clean sheets this year.

Liverpool’s best defensive assets Alisson (£5.7m) and Andrew Robertson (£6.5m) remain top of their respective piles on account of their solidity this season. No team has conceded fewer shots inside their penalty box in the last four Gameweeks. However, with an away match at Bournemouth in Gameweek 16 and the hosting of Manchester United in Gameweek 17, their fixtures are no longer favourable over the next four.

After the Wolves defensive duo of Rui Patrício (£4.6m) and Matt Doherty (£4.9m) let their owners down in Gameweek 13, they find themselves in a similar situation on the Watchlist. Regardless of that slip-up at home to Huddersfield, they remain in our consideration but their fixtures have also been downgraded. Trips to Cardiff and Newcastle have excellent clean sheet potential but home matches against Chelsea and Bournemouth between now and Gameweek 17 hold less hope.

There are some big changes in midfield as Leroy Sané (£9.3m) and Dele Alli (£8.9m) make their way onto the Watchlist. They come in for Sadio Mané (£9.9m) and James Maddison (£6.8m) respectively. We felt that doubling-up on a Manchester City midfield of Raheem Sterling (£11.3m) and Sané would be more effective considering the form and fixtures of Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) and Mané. We believe Sané’s place in the team is more secure than usual given the injury to Benjamin Mendy, but because we don’t completely trust Pep Guardiola we have given him the Rotation Risk factor, just as we have on Sterling. The fact that we are more confident over Salah’s place in the team is why he stays top of the Watchlist for now.

Alli comes into consideration with Spurs’ aforementioned fixture swing, amid competition for a place from Christian Eriksen and Son Heung-min. We felt that the South Korean’s place in the Spurs’ side was not as settled as we’d like, even if he is a much more attractive price. Also, Eriksen may have starred against Chelsea but that was without Kieran Trippier in the side, who has assumed many of the Danish international’s set-piece duties this season. If the right-back is back for this nice run then it would be hard to predict Eriksen to match his creativity levels from that win over Chelsea. Meanwhile, Alli has outperformed Eriksen for minutes per touch in the box, minutes per goal attempt in that area and minutes per shot on target this season.

Marko Arnautovic (£7.1m) has been declared fit for Gameweek 14 so he gets to stick around as the second-most important FPL forward.

      Would you shift Vardy + Fraser -> Sane + Rondon (or any other forward upto 7.5) for -4?

      Already have Arna and Murray

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 8 Years

        Yes. Zaha.

      A) Jimenez > Zaha
      B) Haz + Kun > Kane + Sane (-4)
      C) Mane + Kun > Kane + Sane (-4)
      D) Silva + Kun > Kane + Sane (-4)
      E) Save and probably do one of B-D free next week

      Thanks guys!

      2. child of God
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        I'm certain kun and sterling will both miss one of the two matches before they both start against Chelsea. Sterling to miss Bournemouth and kun to miss Watford is my guess

        1. Rust Cohle
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 11 months ago

          Agree with this.

    14. Jimmy Boy
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Thoughts on Martial?

      1. Dannyb
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        That if he played for a decent attacking team he would probably be in every fpl team. I'm a United fan......

      2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        If Utd draw 0-0 against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford, there is no such thing as a good attacking fixture for them

        1. ASAP Rocky
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 11 months ago

          He's been consistent the last several game weeks, so logically it makes sense to have him in your squad (since he's in good form). However, I cannot escape the feeling that he is a horrible choice for my team. Just seeing his name and those jerseys, make me ill.

    15. Viper
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      I don't know what is wrong with me this season, I feel incapable of making decisions. Debating all day whether to sell Salah or Hazard for Sterling and I know the thing I'll most likely end up doing is.... Nothing.

      1. Dannyb
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Salah

      2. Lilac Breasted Roller
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        I'm pondering the same thing, if you ask here, it will be a resounding Salah -> Sterling you hear

        what's holding me back is that I want to see some more of Salah, and Sterling may be benched.
        On the other hand, Salah won't rise much in price probably if he does score

        1. Viper
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah it's a little comfort to know that I'm not losing value on Salah and I can reverse the transfer later if need be

    16. Viper
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Is it worth holding onto Salah if you only plan on captaining once in the next 6/7 gameweeks?

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Not for me.

      2. Dannyb
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        No

      3. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        No

      4. jtreble
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Salah has 19 FDR 2/3 fixtures left. Might be some captain points in those games. :).

    17. ASAP Rocky
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Save or transfer?? 0.2 ITB.

      Patricio - Hamer

      Alonso - TAA - Robertson - Peltier - Bennett

      Dilva - Richarlison - Martial - Salah - Camarasa

      Kane - Jimenez - Arnie

    18. Niho992

      have 2 FT. What should i do
      A : Kun IN Laca OUT (switch Kun to KAne in GW 15) and save 1 FT for GW 15 or
      B : Zaha and Sane IN Laca and Fraser OUT (cant bring Kane for GW 15)

      1. ASAP Rocky
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        A

    19. Niho992
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      is Kane nailed from GW 15 ? Should we be worried that poche will rest him vs Soton ?

      1. jtreble
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Kane will be rested at some point. It’s nothing to worry about though.

        1. Niho992
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 11 months ago

          hope so that will be in cup vs Arsenal

      2. ASAP Rocky
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        He's a machine. Llorente is a far cry from Harry. No concerns from me.
