Aubameyang and Kane snapped up by top 10k FPL managers

Fantasy Premier League managers made extensive changes to their teams this week and it appears the template is no longer.

In this article, we look at how team selection has changed between Gameweeks 13 and 14, including the effect of the latest Wildcards.

3.64% of Top 10k managers activated their Wildcard for Gameweek 15, which makes the percentage of managers with their wildcard intact only 16.5%.

Looking at the popular choices in their wildcards shows lots of changes from previous weeks.

The new striker partnership of Harry Kane and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang dominates this Gameweek Wildcards. The third spot has been awarded to Marko Arnautovic, although he went off with a hamstring injury on Tuesday night.

With the appeal of those two premium options, both of whom have great fixtures on the horizon, there is little room for the injured Sergio Aguero.

The absence of the Argeninian from Wildcards seems to correspond by heavy investment in Manchester City’s midfield options, with Raheem Sterling (74.18%) and Leroy Sane (60.71%) among the top three most-owned players in the Gameweek 15 Wildcards.

The investment in West Ham goes beyond Arnautovic to Felipe Anderson (66.76%) and Lukasz Fabianski (63.74%). In fact, the Hammers are the side with the highest number of players in this week’s Wildcards.

By backing West Ham assets, mixed feelings were definitely experienced by Wildcarders as Arnautovic got zero points while Fabianski rewarded them with a penalty save but lost his clean sheet in the 95th minute.

The template was not only affected by those Wildcards, with plenty of those without one made enough changes to alter the dynamics of the game.

The result is a huge shift in the ownership among the top 10k for some premium options.

For example, Kane (who leads the top 10k captaincy for Gameweek 15 with 40.8%) saw his top 10k ownership increase from 2.61% to 44.94%.

Similarly, Aubameyang went from 2.9% to 30.73%.

On the other hand, Aguero dropped from 81.1% to 12.43%.

These huge ownership swings shows much of a turning point in the season we are experiencing right now.

Finally, here is a list of ownership changes for some main FPL assets.

    1. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Sane might not play v Che

      1. BOATIES FC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah that's ways the risk

  2. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    If you had to pick a Spurs Midfielder, who would you pick?

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Eriksen

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Kane but CDMs don't tend to be great in FPL.

  3. StoichkovFPL
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Is Rob Holding nailed?

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Do you mean is Rob holding his place in the starting eleven?

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Kos back in training

  4. Dele
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    What an awful start.

  5. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Will Arnie survive price fall tonight?

    1. Lemongrab
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Very unlikely he will drop tonight

    2. Moorinho
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      easily imo

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      triple drop looking likely

    4. Chucky
      • 10 Years

      Cheers

    5. Frank Black
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yes because he's currently at + 12.1%.

  6. boc610
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Laporte on for a 1pointer just to kick owners when they're down

    1. SPorting
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Not me. With Robbo and Balbu out I needed his point

      1. boc610
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Robbo could easily play

  7. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Arnie & Duffy

    The ups and downs of FPL

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Or just downs

  8. stufail
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Great end to those games. Laporte comes on for a point. Sane loses his CS and bonus. Fabianski loses his CS and bonus. Awesomeness when I have them all.

    Isn't fpl great. How'd you all enjoy those last few minutes?

    1. Nascimento
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Not so bad. I didn’t have any points to lose

    2. SPorting
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Same as the first few.

      Horrifically hilarious.

      Best GW for ages!

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Wonderful - didn't watch the second half unfold so it was great to see all those clean sheets gone.

      1. stufail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I switched on the WHam match after 93 mins to watch Fabianski's CS points come home.

        It's my fault.

    4. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Lost Ederson and Diop CS's and sane and Anderson cs points and bonus. Crazy last few minutes

      1. SPorting
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        You tried to be the hare....

    5. boc610
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Loved it as I own none of them..kind of how this works

    6. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      It was all perfect for me

    7. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Had fab, Fraser, Dunk and Arni. Happy overall as got Fabs pen save so could be worse.

  9. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Hi.....thoughts on Arnie and hazard to auba and fanderson - 4?

    Exact money to do tonight. Seems risky but worth a gamble. ....

    Fab 4m
    Alonso TAA schindler awb vinagre
    Sterling sane hazard richi camarasa
    Kane arnie jiminez

    Thanks

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good

    2. FantaCity
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Think I'd rather have Fraser and change than Anderson, but overall the move looks right

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers

        Fraser has 3 poor fixtures in next 5.

        Anderson fixtures lovely - and I generally play by the fixtures....

    3. mosmof
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Looking at the same moves. Would need to do it tonight, but not convinced by F Anderson. Slim pickings at that price range.

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I also need to do it tonight

        Anderson has been delivering quite consistently last few weeks....

        1. mosmof
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I guess, and the fixtures are sweet. Don't see a better option in that price bracket.With Kane/Auba, it does leave me weak in midfield with Sterling/Siggy/Anderson/Gudmundsson. I'd effectively be playing 4-3-3 for a while.

  10. SPorting
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Arnie to Wilson

    or

    Ryan to Fab

    1. An Púca
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Both

      1. SPorting
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Fair point

      2. ted mcnure
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Agree

  11. Moorinho
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Folks who captained Sterling, who's your vice?

    Auba here

    1. Nascimento
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I don’t want to talk about it.

      1. TRIPOS TOPPER
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        as Rod Stewart said

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Sane

    3. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Arnie might be there waiting with 0p

    4. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Wow now that’s the right type of jam!

  12. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    That 94th min Murphy goal turned my arrow from green to red.

    Boff

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Sickening

  13. F4L
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Sane and Sterling vs Chelsea, Mahrez gets CL then S and S vs Everton?

    1. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Mahrez and Sterling v Chelsea
      Like Liverpool

      1. FirminoIsBetterThanYou
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        But Mendy played against Liverpool we haven't seen City play a big side without Mendy so I reckon it will be S and S

    2. Volley127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Wishful thinking.. Mahrez vs Chelsea I agree.

  14. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    You think that Trippier starts tomorrowv

    1. Champione
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

  15. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Loving it. 22 from 4 with 6 big boys left (captain Kane also) and jimenez

  16. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Would you get:

    a) Auba, Sterling, Schurrle

    b) Laca, Sterling, Fanderson

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. School of Poch
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      A

  17. Champione
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Mo Salah, time for a brace tomorrow

  18. CaTriEm
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    So what's the consensus on Auba vs Laca? I have enough money itb saved to bring Auba in for Arnie and can afford a rise so will probably wait til after the United game to decide.

    1. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Im getting both 😀

  19. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Salah and Arnie to Auba and Sane?

  20. Foozeball
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Who would you suggest up to 5.4m to replace Duffy?

    Currently looking at getting Digne, Mina, or Kolasinac

  21. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Alonso and Robertson no shows tomorrow too much asked?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Looking very likely.

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        The way this horrible Gw is going yeah probably

    2. SPorting
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Got your benching wrong again?

      1. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Just those Josh Murphy points second on the bench xD. Right decision nevertheless but that Laporte 1 pointer was slightly annoying

      2. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Not really sure what you meant with that "again" 😀

  22. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Low scoring gw so far. Big green tonight with 27 points. And thats before Sane (VC) is factored in. Most probably have Kane or Salah cap to go though.

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I’d factor it in now

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Im just looking at liveFPL

  23. 4-4-who?
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Gutted for everyone. Gross 46 with 6 to play, inc. Hazard, Triple Liverpool D and Aubameyang. A good week at last...

  25. Ludde
    • 5 Years

    Need to Get rid of Brooks and Arnie. Also want Salah out to save some funds. Is this a Logic plan for -8.

  30. The Overthinker

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Monreal back soon, so I would avoid

        And holding? Koscielny back too I believe.

            Cheers. Think I'll just go with diop then
