How Mané can help FPL managers prepare for Blank Gameweek 31

Sadio Mané (£9.6m) is once again matching Mohamed Salah (£13.6m) and making a strong case for inclusion in our Fantasy Premier League squads.

The Senegalese international has scored five goals in the last seven Gameweeks, the exact same number as his Egyptian colleague.

We’ve had a look at the data to see if Mané is capable of sustaining his form and what role he has to play in FPL in the coming weeks.

Fantasy Football Scout members can read on and have a look at our analysis…

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Probably good.

      But if Chelsea continue to implode and Sarri is still around tgat could yet be a tasty fixture. If Sarri goes definitely move on to Mane

      I'd really appreciate any help 🙂

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I'd save the transfer

      2. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years

        I'd save the transfer

      3. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I’d consider bringing in Fab. Fulham at home is good of course as are the 31/3 fixtures. City may look horrendous but could be a save bonanza.

        The other goalie option looks to be Heaton for you to avoid double defence.

        The rest I’d leave well alone and then switch out a couple of your Wolves in 30.

        1. OleGGMU
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Cheers guys, the advice is much appreciated, yeah I have been thinking about the goalie spot too, any thoughts on boruc post gw30 ?they dont look bad fixture wise at least and a potential cover (if foster remains) for the upcoming blank gw31

          simpson is another i have been pondering to ship out for a good cheapie like bednarek or all in for the dgw's and go martin montoya/Duffy

          I agree wiv the point about the wolves options , personally Im looking mainly at Jota to ship while I've manage to nab a 0.1 of him, soo wish Brooksie was back , anyone else cheaper than 6.0?

          thanks again guys

      (Button / TAA / Hazard / Kamara)

      Is this good enough for GW27?
      Using 1 FT to do Digne ➡️ Periera.

      Saving other FT to upgrade Kamara to Aguero next week by downgrading Son.

      Cheers all! 🙂

        Where are you going with Son as a matter of interest

      1. Right order/bench this week or change?
      2. Any views on whether FH31 or 32 looks best here? 31 players in capitals.

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Ignore this - mistakes here!

      Ok, so I didn’t know this site had a little tracker of price changes?! Just seeing it under the watch list...not just the hot topic but something on the home page itself?

    6. FPL Maldini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Is Madison still a good option?

      Was great at the start but not many returns recently

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I'd still consider him yes

    7. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      For those without any city assets are you planning on bringing some before gw31 ? Thanks

      1. Marty McFly
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Personally I’m not. I don’t think any of them outscore their counterparts (or rotation of counterparts) by more than 4pts over the 3gws. For example, I think Mané offers better value than Sané given the latter’s insecurity of starts. I also think not owning Aguero and having Auba 27/28 and Vardy 29/30 is a great differential.

    8. FPL Maldini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Planning all my transfers from now until 31 so that I can FH in 32

      Which transfer this week?

      Etheridge and Laporte —> Fabianski and Lascalles

      Laporte and Moutinho —> Lascalles and Maddison

      Assuming I start them

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        The first set this week looks best.

    9. Kuzser
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      What option would you prefer here guys for gw31 as my transfer strategy depends on it?

      Team 1(7 transfers, 1 hit).Means I do haz kamara->Auba McNeil this week and get higuain later for Auba
      Fab
      Pereira Schindler robbo lascelles
      Anderson Salah mane MCNEIL FRASER/WILSON
      HIGUAIN WILSON/FRASER

      Team 2 (5ft). No Auba at all
      Fab
      Pereira Schindler robbo lascelles
      Anderson Salah mane HAZARD FRASER
      WILSON

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Team 1

    10. Live Lad
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Maddison a good option? Not blanking in 31 and 33.

      1. FPL Maldini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah I suppose but his recent stats suggest he isn’t in form

    11. LewanGOALski
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Which teams will most likely have DGW32?

      Can’t decide whether FH for BGW31 (without FH I can field 8 players with 1 hit that week) or DGW32...

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Don't know about the fixtures in gw 32, but FH in gw 31 looks like waste of FH to me honestly.

        Actually I've blown my TC chip so it is great option for me to use FH in gw32 to maximize it's value

        1. Black Knights
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          For those that have wildcarded, 31 seems the only time to play the FH. That way, we've got 5 weeks to add more DGWers for 32, and can then use the bench boost to maximise it. We'll have ample DGWers in 35 too, and can make a few transfers to cover 33.

        2. Reckoner.
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I think the opposite personally, think using the FH chip in 32 is more of a waste because of what it means for your team in the lead up to 31.

          FH in 32 = either accepting not putting out a full team in 31 or building a team towards 31 which would result in you having players your wouldn't necessarily have in your team otherwise. Possibly missing out on points from player you would usually have in

          FH in 31 = can keep the majority of your team together, chances are you'll already have quite a few players that will have a double in GW 32 anyway. The only downside I see is you have to plan in some way for GW 33 as well. Luckily for me I'll have 7 players for that already after this GW.

      2. danishdynamite
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        The transition to 33 is your problem.

        Prepare for BGW 31 with FT's a judicious hit or two
        FH DGW32
        You should then be pretty well set up for BGW33 and have a few weeks to get your DGW35 game on

      Vardy or Higuain for gw31?

        Higuain

          • 5 Years

          This pretty much. Barry doesn’t become an option unless Puel goes - I think their relationship is damaged beyond repair. Doubt he starts another game under him

    19. Rohirrims
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Pretty set on my plan for the coming weeks.

      GW 31 FH
      GW 32 BB (2 hits from now till 32 with 14 DGW players)
      GW 33 WC
      GW 35 TC

      BB - Likely bench of Guaita, AWB, Camarasa, Maitland-Niles.


      Avoiding players from Brighton for now till they find some form. Big risk in this strategy is Liverpool form in GWs 30 and 32.

      WC in GW 33 with 4-7 blank players gives you option to roll a FT to GW 35 and bring in the best captaincy option. Depending on how the blank fixtures are filled could look at 3 Liverpool, 1 Chelsea, 2 Arsenal, 1 Bournemouth, 1 Leicester for 33 and the rest DGWers.

      Hamer Digne* Aguero* Richarlison*

      Potential moves

      A - Richarlison/Rashford to Hayden/Lacazette(C)

      B - Shaw/Aguero to Lascelles/Lacazette(C) (Son to Sterling next week)
