FPL Question Time – When to Bench Boost and what to do with Brighton players

The final Double Gameweek of the season is almost upon us and there are plenty of Fantasy Premier League managers with important decisions to be made ahead of Saturday’s deadline – especially after a largely miserable Gameweek 34.

We were flooded with FPL Question Time requests as usual and, while we can’t ask our panel every question we receive, many of the quandaries Fantasy bosses are facing seem to be on a similar theme.

Who’s on the panel this week?

Always Cheating Podcast – The USA’s most popular FPL podcast, created by Josh and Brandon. Josh currently has an overall rank of 861.

Who Got the Assist? – One of the best-known FPL podcasts this side of the Atlantic, the brainchild of Tom and Nick.

Rotation’s Alter Ego (Ted) – One of our very own moderators on the site, who currently has an overall rank of 2,536.

Question 1 – Tom

Lord heskey: “Who is the best differential captain this week?”

Tom: “Raul Jimenez has eight goals and six assists in home matches this season, literally returning more often than not.

“He has two games against a forgettable Brighton and defensively suspect Arsenal, and I expect him to continue with the consistency. It’s the Mexican luchador for me.”

Question 2 – Ted

AJ: “If your bench is filled with Brighton players and Troy Deeney, should you now be looking at using the Triple Captain chip in Gameweek 35 followed by Bench Boost in Gameweek 36?”

Ted: “Given how Deeney and Brighton performed last week, it’s completely reasonable to have lost faith in them for your Bench Boost but I wouldn’t recommend losing all hope just yet.

“The joy of playing Bench Boost in a Double Gameweek is that you can reduce some of that risk. As we approach the end of the season, team line-ups and form can get a bit unpredictable, making a Bench Boost hard.

“Play it in a normal week and you risk seeing your big hitters handed a benching or a squad player rested to let a youngster get some game-time, quickly reducing your Bench Boost to a goalkeeper and one or two others.

“In a Double Gameweek, you can be fairly confident all 11 of your starters will get at least one game, with seven/eight extra bites at the cherry coming from your bench. Most, if not all, managers with this problem will have a Wildcard team that’s set up for a Bench Boost in Gameweek 35 so I’d be eager to make the most of it.

“For a Bench Boost in Gameweek 35, Deeney needs to go for a new forward (either Fernando Llorente or someone like Callum Wilson) funded by downgrading a Brighton asset, perhaps Shane Duffy to Maya Yoshida or Craig Cathcart – though that Watford defence is a minefield. You don’t want too much value sat on the bench post-Bench Boost anyway, so moving to cheaper defenders now could be a blessing in disguise.

“If you have zero faith in Brighton and don’t fancy a hit, then you have the option of rolling the transfer or starting to plan for that later Bench Boost. I’m not confident enough in any option this Gameweek to triple captain them – if there was a stand-out option, it would make moving the Bench Boost a lot easier.

“Realistically, I’d look at a Liverpool player in Gameweek 36 or wait for Gameweek 38 where goals tend to be aplenty, even though it would mean putting all your eggs in one basket. Brighton have a better fixture in Gameweek 36 for a Bench Boost but I still think Newcastle can score there, so I’d consider the Bench Boost in Gameweek 37 and replace Brighton with Palace defenders.

“The problem is that free transfers become gold dust at this time of year and shifting plan to a later Bench Boost may result in you burning them away to improve your bench, whilst ignoring your first XI.

“I wouldn’t overthink it. Fix the problem, play the Bench Boost, enjoy, then focus on nailing the rest of the Gameweeks. You’ve might have been dealt a bad hand but I’d want to put it behind you now and not let it drag into other weeks.”

Question 3 – Brandon

Stayouthespicezone: “Is any Arsenal attacking asset worth it, in your opinion, with rotation a threat?”

Brandon: “Alexandre Lacazette failed to start against Liverpool in Gameweek 20. Since then, the Arsenal central striker has only missed two other starts (notably not getting a single minute against Watford on Monday). So, Laca is a lock, right? Honestly, who knows.

“If we knew anything about Unai Emery coming into his first season at the Emirates, it’s that he’s a Europa League maestro. He’s shuffled the Arsenal deck many times to optimise for Thursday nights.

“And if we’ve learned anything through the course of this season, it’s that Emery is tactically flexible to the point of complete confusion as to what he feels his best starting XI is. Sead Kolasinac off at half-time? Sure. Ramsey and Ozil, not permanent fixtures? OK.

“What’s more vexing when planning for the Premier League run-in is that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has had a series of issues keeping him off the pitch over the last month or so, which has possibly inflated the idea of Lacazette’s security of starts.

“With Auba fit once again, coupled with Emery’s penchant for playing a lone striker, we’re again heading into murky FPL territory.

“It will be illuminating to see Arsenal’s line-up for Thursday’s Napoli match and to monitor minutes and form. Lacazette, with a full rest in Gameweek 34, is set to lead the line in Europe, which will create unease amongst current Laca owners who were planning for two starts in Gameweek 35 – myself included.

“Barring injury, any outcome for Lacazette on Thursday night won’t move him from my team and I still feel he’s the best attacking option Arsenal can offer for FPL squads. I just can’t see him rested for a full 90 minutes in either Gameweek 35 match, as he was Monday, and I’d wager at least one start.

“On top of this, there exists the possibility of him being played centrally with Aubameyang on the wing.

“With Auba, the fact is few of us have the team structure for his price tag – and Auba’s form hasn’t made the case for him being that compelling of a rank-climbing differential. It’s safe to say that no Arsenal midfielder is a consistent enough FPL weapon, so if you’re eyeing the Gunners for the Double Gameweek, you’ll just have to cross your fingers and toes that Lacazette comes good.”

Question 4 – Josh

Regularjohnny: “Which single Gameweek players are worth looking at to accompany, or even play in place of, the big Double Gameweek ones?”

Josh: “Liverpool assets, especially Roberto Firmino now that he has been rested in the Champions League, are hugely appealing. You then have them for both Gameweek 35 (away at Cardiff City) and Gameweek 36 (at home to Huddersfield Town), a run of two fixtures as good as, if not better than, any other team’s run of three fixtures over Gameweek 35 and 36.

“Additionally, for anyone looking for a Troy Deeney replacement, I’d take an in-form Callum Wilson at home to Fulham over any of the Double Gameweek forward options in his price bracket.”

Question 5 – Nick

SydAdBoy: “The Brighton double or triple-up at the back for their first Double Gameweek was a trainwreck. Do we persist for Double Gameweek 35? Who are the best alternatives?”

Nick: “Many of us will be licking our wounds after what was a terrible Gameweek for Brighton. Those that who are doubled or tripled up will no doubt be considering getting rid.

“Also in the attack, Anthony Knockaert is an obvious sell due to suspension. With Glenn Murray, there remains a question of minutes but with Troy Deeney suspended, there are few alternatives.

“It’s similar in defence, looking at Shane Duffy and Lewis Dunk replacements.

“Dependent on budget, you are only really looking at £4.5m for a replacement and you have to consider if it is worth the inevitable hit. Craig Cathcart on a hit? Jonny on a hit? For me, going into the Double Gameweek with double Brighton defence and already on a -4, it will be a case of grinning and bearing it.”

Question 6 – Ted

Liam: “Who is the best Troy Deeney replacement around that £6.0m price range?”

Ted: “I think it’s very dependent on how the rest of your team looks since there’s very little at his exact price.

“If you have seven other strong midfielders and forwards – perhaps a Nathan Redmond or similar as your fifth midfielder – I’d say look to go down in price. Danny Ings could make a tasty differential at only £5.4m with two decent Double Gameweek fixtures but I certainly wouldn’t go in expecting him to play both due to his injury history. His teammate, Shane Long, is a far less exciting option, but at only £4.6m could free up a hefty sum of cash that might prove an important factor if you can see an immediate use for it.

“However, I feel both options are trumped by one Fernando Llorente. Rating excellently on both minutes per xG and minutes per chance, he also boasts an impressive 46% goal involvement whilst on the pitch, all for a bargain £5.1m.

“There are drawbacks too, of course: he has a good knack at frustrating FPL managers plus faces some pretty tough competition for a starting role in that Spurs team. That being said, if you need a third striker for Bench Boost and occasional appearances in your team, I think he’s a good shout.

“Some FPL managers will need a good, strong option as their third striker if they already have the likes of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg as a fifth midfielder. Here, I’d suggest going up in price, with fair consideration to taking a hit if you don’t have the cash immediately available.

“The first name on the list must be Raul Jiménez if you don’t have him already. With 12 goals and ten assists already this season, he will be a leading captaincy option for Gameweek 35 – and for good reason.

“If I didn’t have him, I’d be very eager to buy him for the remainder of the season just based on the value he offers (he’s now done four separate stints in my team this season!). If you already have him though, I’d start to look past the Double Gameweek and think about single Gameweek options that will set you up well for the rest of the season.

“My personal favourite is Callum Wilson, who I very nearly went with on a Wildcard. Twelve goals and 11 assists despite missing a good chunk of the season is no small feat and, despite visiting Brighton, they showed no signs of being on the beach just yet. Another good option at that price is Wilfried Zaha, who won’t be daunted by the trip to Arsenal and follows this up with three good fixtures.

“If you need someone a bit cheaper, a Newcastle forward might be your best bet. Set to face three of the current bottom five in their last four games, Salomon Rondon (£6.0m) and Ayoze Perez (£6.1m) should bring both their goal tallies to double figures for the season. Personally, I get the feeling whichever I didn’t buy would be the one to do well, so I’d be keen to look elsewhere.”

    My BB team for this week

    Foster-Ryan
    Robbo-Alderweireld-Kola-Duffy-Valery
    Salah-Son-Eriksen-Jota-Redmond
    Aguero-Jimenez(c)-Murray

    Which move seems like the most sense?
    A. Murray to Wilson
    B. Salah to Sterling(then back next week)
    C. Eriksen+Alder to Sterling+Jonny
    A+B

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      A

    2. V-2 Schneiderlin
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Probably A but agree not having Sterling would make me nervous

      1. Legohair
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Exactly,i did have him at my WC last week but i decided to go Eriksen and Alder instead of Sterling and cheap defender just before deadline...

        1. V-2 Schneiderlin
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          It's just really difficult to have Aguero Salah and Sterling - so something has to give - if I were you I'd stick with A and trust Salah will do well

          1. Legohair
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Yes it is,thats why i have salah because im TC him GW36.i guess i go with A and hope for the best.

  3. Differential C (Mark)

      I’d go Jonny and back Wolves this GW

      1. Concrete

    13 DGW players and two Liverpool versus Cardiff. What could go wrong... 🙂

    1. b91jh
      • 6 Years

      Brighton liabilities could make ur bench boost useless.

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Yep but I’d have to spend four points to remove one of them, eight to remove both. A four point hit for s defender from another mid table team (or lower) doesn’t make much sense to me so I’ll take my chances and hope for a Brighton miracle lol

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      3 SGW here. Cmon Vardy!

    Who wins??

    A) Laporte starts until the end (TOT, mun, bur, LEI, bha) plus Bednarek (HUD) at 38
    B) Cathcart/Masina to start 35(HUD, SOU), Dunk 36(NEW), Bednarek 37,38 (whm, HUD)

    1. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Laporte could be due a rest

      Ota and Stones both fit

  6. Bavarian

      4 years, 11 months ago

      think Deuc is a safer choice, Id go with Pereyra with all honesty if knew he starts both games

        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        *Douc

  11. Robson-Canoe
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Which is the best 5.5 def? (Non Liverpool)
    I'm deciding between:

    A) Monreal
    B) Kolasinac

    Thoughts?

    1. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Tricky because of game time. Could be one game each

        I think City will be out for revenge and also chasing PL title too.

        Stirling will go off i think

        I think the captaincy this week will effectively win / lose me my ML. Three options I’m considering:

        A. Jiminez
        B. Aguero
        C. Sterling

        Currently on Sterling. What are peeps thinking?

        1. Concrete

          2. HollywoodXI
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            My thinking is that he’s in the form of his life, City will be out for revenge and they have to win both games. Tough decision.

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              It is tough for sure

        4. Robson-Canoe
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          B or C. Agüero is a big game player, Sterling the man in form. Could go either way.

          D could pay you back depending on what Aguero does of course.

      • The 12th Man
        • 10 Years

        Salah,Erikson,Deeney > Sterling,Mane,Wilson -8?

          not a fan

          That's Maverick 😮
          Could go either way !

          1. The 12th Man
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Yeh I’m reluctant to change Salah to Mane, he’s a major differential in my ML. 40 behind.
            Not owning Mane has hurt me.

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              Difficult choice tbh.

              1. The 12th Man
                • 10 Years
                4 years, 11 months ago

                Think I’m gonna have to stick with Salah. See how Aguero does this week, if he’s outperformed by Sterling then maybe do an Aguero, Sterling switch for -4 next week.

                  • 5 Years

                  Yeah
                  Sensible way. GL Buddy.

                    How about this then

                    Dunk,Erikson,Deeney > Cathcart,Deulofeu,Firmino-8

                      I like this one.

                        Thanks. Deulofeu Or Redmond?

            • 7 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            no... hence thinking of mane as i have kun.. then probably work to have firmino for vardy next week

          • 10 Years

        Final thoughts on whether I play my TC this GW by looking at my remaining captaincy options:

        A) Sterling 35 (TOT, mnu) - tight turnaround and plenty of competition with Sané and Mahrez but is in the form of his life right now and its a DGW.
        B) Salah 36 (HUD) - should start assuming City are back in front at this point but could be hooked early with Barcelona game 4 days later.
        C) Hazard 37 (WAT) - last home game for the Blues against a side with one eye on the cup.
        D) Sterling (bha) or Salah (WOL) 38 - go for the talisman from the side in front on the final day knowing they are likely to get the full 90 minutes to help wrap up the title.

            • 7 Years

            diff gw.. either 35 or 38

              Sorry, A then. Titel could be over later in the season and more rotation

      • SPorting
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Everything for -4

        a) Duffy, Deeney -> Boly, Wilson
        b) Salah, Deeney -> Mané, Firmino
        c) Eriksen, Deeney -> KdB, Llorente

        Best mid option for dgw, Max 8.7?

        A) Pogba
        B) Martial
        C) Jota
        D) Redmond
        E) other

        Not from city/Spurs

        Would be interesting to see what the captain poll would look like if it was restarted after the City vs Spurs UCL game. Would Sterling be top then?

          Good point !

        Playing BB

        A) Deeney to Gray
        B) Deeney to Long, Camarasa to Redmond/Deulofeu for -4

        Camarasa has (LIV)

        2. BIGREDDOG
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Or even Deeney to Wilson, Duffy to Valery?

      • LLoris
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Should I do Dunk for Cathcart for a -4 hit

      • St. Joseph
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Thoughts on iwobi as a differential?

        1. b91jh
          • 6 Years

          Way too different.

        Foster
        Laporte Valery Bednarek
        Mane Sterling Eriksen Son Jota
        Kun Jimenez

        Lloris Deeney Dunk Duffy

        Thinking just bench the crap & save BB for 36, right?

      • b91jh
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Only for this week, who? (No more wolves quota)

        A) Cathcart (HUD, SOU) (not completely nailed for both games)
        B) Masina (HUD, SOU) (nailed for the first game i believe, which has a high chance of clean sheet)
        C) Valery/Yoshida (new, wat) (=triple saints def)
        D) S.Cook (FUL)
        E) Roll the ft and stick with Duffy (2x bha def right now)
