How the Top 10k are looking ahead of Blank Gameweek 27

The top 10,000 managers in Fantasy Premier League have joined the rest of us in moving en masse for Son Heung-min (£8.8m).

The Spurs midfielder was snapped up by just over 550,000 FPL managers in the run-up to Gameweek 26 – that’s almost twice as many transfers in as the next-most-bought player of this weekend.

A look at the most-owned players among the top 10k (see below) reveals that Son is the only change to the “template” squad from the previous Gameweek, with Leroy Sane (£9.6m) unsurprisingly making way.

Mohamed Salah (£13.6m) remains the most-owned player in the top 10,000, followed by Marcus Rashford (£7.8m) – who was benched at Craven Cottage earlier today – and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.6m).

The above template squad features four players who blank in Gameweek 27 – namely Lucas Digne (£5.3m), Richarlison (£6.7m), Eden Hazard (£10.9m) and Sergio Aguero (£11.4m).

The front eight players in the above graphic match those in the overall most-owned squad, as pictured below:

Marcos Alonso (£6.5m), Ederson (£5.6m), Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) and Alisson (£6.0m) are the four names that differ; Alonso and Ederson being two more players without a fixture in Gameweek 27.

Son for Sane and Raul Jimenez (£6.7m) for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.2m) are the two changes from Gameweek 25.

There unsurprisingly hasn’t been a great deal of chip activity this weekend, though we may see a very minor spike in the usage of the free hit chip in Gameweek 27 among those Fantasy managers whose squads are overloaded with Manchester City, Everton and Chelsea assets.

Just over 17% of managers inside the top 10,000 have used their free hit chip already.

Over 75% of managers in the top 10k have their triple captain chip still to play, while a similar number also have their second wildcard still to burn.

Bench boost remains the least-used chip among these high-performing Fantasy managers.

The overall picture, meanwhile, looks as follows:

Almost exactly one in five managers inside the top 10k in FPL have used two or more of their chips already this season (see below).

Just over 50% of the top 10,000 Fantasy bosses are still yet to use a single chip, however.

The overall situation shows a similar spread, though an increased 27.4% have used two or more of their chips as of Gameweek 26:

Switching our attention back to Gameweek 26, the top 10k largely backed Salah for the armband ahead of his eight-point return against Bournemouth.

The 2.27% who captained Paul Pogba (£8.7m) will be sitting pretty on 32 points once bonus is added, while a similar number captained Aubameyang and will be relying on their vice-captain for points (Pogba being a popular choice) after the Gabonese forward’s no-show at Huddersfield.

The overall Gameweek 26 captaincy picture is not quite as straightforward, as one would perhaps expect given the varying degrees of involvement further down the rankings and with those managers perhaps having less to lose by backing a differential captain.

    The Kola OG really did hurt

      Did you also Captain him?

    2. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Thats why I love Fpl

      Cause I don't own him!

    3. el polako

      Such thin margins in this game.

    4. GXNG
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah his OG and Southamptons 90th minute goal cost me about 15 points and almost doubled my rank.

      1. Peter Ouch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Missed Peltiers and Etheridges clean sheet was so painful

    5. drughi
      • 14 Years

      just 35 seconds left and we are 10 points richer, hard to swallow

  2. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    5 years, 1 month ago

    Fabianski
    Robertson / TAA / Doherty / AWB
    Salah / Pogba / Son / Camarasa
    Rashford / Jimenez

    Ederson // Sterling / Digne / Ings

    Any moves I should be looking at this weekend? Uncomfortable playing double Liverpool defense.

    I'm not sure about Aubameyang for a hit as I'll want Aguero from the following GW onwards.

    Sterling > Jota (or an alternative), as an enabler for Aguero (the following week)?

    Very open to alternatives.

    1. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Why waste 2 transfers selling Sterling to aguero?

      Suggest Digne->LEI, NEW defender. Especially if not FH31

      1. kinghenry14
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        this

      2. EMBOLOFAN

        this

      3. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I like Aguero going forward & have a vacant FWD spot. His ownership will surge soon.

        LEI/NEW defenders don't exactly help me next week as my attackers play them.

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Wait take that back, Spurs haven't played yet. D'oh.

    2. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Bit sideways swapping Sterling and Kun. Not completely sure about Kun's fitness level given all the import games ahead. Plus, Sterling can rotate with Hazard which is nice.

  3. Manani
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Richarlison replacement?

    got 10.4m, but don't have to spend it all as I can upgrade Kamra

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Jota? Anderson? Hazard?

  4. roghippo

    With owning Dinge,captain Sane and now Kola I'm glad I listened to the last scoutcast.

    have ederson with button as 2nd keeper, would you transfer him out today? he is dropping today and i'd have to transfer him out anyway so...
    also who to get? looking at dubravka, decent fixtures and plays in 31 i think

    cheers

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, I would. I think it's hard to pick a GK replacement.

      Dubravka a good option, but sucks he is 5m.

    2. Pishpott
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Fabianski or Foster

  7. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    45 (-8) with Kun, Son, Jimi, Jota, Doherty plus autosub for Rashford to go (JWP 1 pointer as it stands)

    Red arrows so far. Serves me right for taking hits again!

  8. Chasing Waves

    Is Arnie a worthy captain shout next gw?

      no

    2. Brosstan

      i’d have to see west ham highlights today but i highly doubt it

  9. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years

    Current thinking is either Sane to Mane or Alonso to TAA/Pereira... or save and bench the two of em for a week
    1FT 0.0 ITB

    Fabianski Boruc

    Digne to Pereira looks a good move after tommorow's games?

    1. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, most likely my move this week

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years

      im thinking of alonso to pereira myself aye

    3. EMBOLOFAN

      yeah

  13. BENOIT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    My team is a mess. Think I need to wildcard - how much of an advantage would it be to save the WC?

    I’ve got my free hit chip still.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Wait until after the FA Cup 6th Round draw IMO. If there is carnage leaving only a few teams with a blank in GW31 then there could be an advantage to an early WC.

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        but this is a good point...

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      id wildcard it yeah, with cedric and kiko oot, kdb sane hazard richarlison BGW

  14. Vamos
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Really want to shift out Richarlison but can't figure out a way. I could move Sterling to Son and get in F.Anderson but I'd also planned to swap Aguero to Auba. Worth a -4 to have those 3 next GW and using the next transfer to merely swap Aguero back in?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Jota?

      1. Vamos
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Did wonder about that but have 2 Wolves already. Desperate to get Son in but Sterling or Aguero have to go to make that happen, so can never find a way to do it.

        Will look into him.

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      doubt it. id just focus on doing 2 transfers

  15. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Those Auba and Rashford no shows are so irritating. Meh score could have been a better one.

  16. Je suis le chat
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I see Magnus Carlsen is at OR 287. I reckon he'd find it harder to win Fpl than the chess.

    1. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Don't think there's much luck in chess...

    2. McEwan
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I used to enjoy cracking the chess board out when I was younger. Think there is a degree of cross over in it with fpl. Making moves for the now but with future in mind. Obvious variables of injuries suspensions that can affect the moves but trying to stay ahead of the curve has always stood me well

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Magnus might win it yet. He'd be a great coup for Mark to interview.

        1. McEwan
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Tough to win even from there I would imagine but it would certainly be some story if he did.

  17. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

    Double Liverpool defence owners are you worried about next week as Liverpool play at old Trafford?

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      not planning on starting trent

    2. HoldingMeeStones

      yes...will only play 1

            • 11 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Kola close to a rise

            Do you think the move is worthwhile at all?

            1. The Suspended One
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years

              Not that close...

            2. tambourineman
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              As well as 3 fixtures left this gameweek, before the next GW there are 15 fixtures involving Premier League sides in Europe and FA Cup plus the GW 31 blanks will be confirmed. It's safe to say this is a very good GW to hold the FT(s) as long as possible as the value of all that information is far superior to a 0.1 saving.

  19. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Is Pogba a must have? Not having him is costing me badly... should I get now or after pool game..

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'd get, he'll be captained by a fair amount.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Is probably like trying to fight Anthony Joshua with one arm behind your back.

    3. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Triple rise incoming. He is that good though, looks like he can score a brace every week

    4. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Give in to the hype. He's done wonders for me

    5. Chucky

      Today was a nothing half chance and a mata pen, is always a threat for double digit returns

    7. Volley127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      I'd just get now tbh.

  20. Sol
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Aubameyang or Kane if fit ?

    Cheers

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Auba atm

    2. drughi
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      think Kane will finish the season strong

  21. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Pogba has literally only blanked once for me in 8 weeks.... 3 double digit hauls in that period, too. Shoulda captained!

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      yeah getting him and rash in very early has helped me massively

  22. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Post-GW27, who do you prefer?

    A) Hazard
    B) Sterling
    C) Aguero

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A tbh. I'll probably get him back in on WC when I play it

    2. drughi
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      sterling

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      a > b > c

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Surprised at the lack of love for Aguero. Mind explaining?

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        rotation risk, often subbed off, expensive, worst ppm of the 3

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I dont agree with any of these points, hes not a rotation risk. Price and ppm mean nothing

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            lol

          2. EMBOLOFAN
            • 5 Years

            what do you think fantasy football is

    5. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Fixture congestion, haz will probably have 2 or 3 dmgw or a dgw and no blank

  23. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Kun starts tomorrow in your opinion?

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Probably will given they need a win but at the same time wouldnt be overly surprised if he didnt

    2. drughi

      yep

          Tough luck with rash, worry about next week, at least your transfers help prepare you

        Why is everyone panicking to remove him. He's only had a week or two where he was tested, sure he'll come good again after the blank.

    My 3 predictions to get relegated this season were

    Cardiff, Huddersfield & Southampton

    Looks like Fulham are doing their best to ruin my prediction

    1. The Suspended One

      Cardiff may survive because of the Sala unity. Last weeks win was defo about it, this weeks miracle result makes you wonder..
