Weakness down Spurs’ right flank bodes well for owners of Deulofeu and Cantwell

One of the world’s best FPL managers, Tom Freeman, talks Double Gameweek 24, Southampton, Spurs, Everton and Aston Villa in his latest article.


So, we’re just past the halfway point of the season and I sit 37,727th overall in Fantasy Premier League, having banked 57 points in Gameweek 22.

Having been ranked 36,928th in Gameweek 20, I’ve struggled to progress in recent weeks, but with the first Double Gameweek of the season almost upon us, now feels like an opportunity to push on.

My advice would be to pick three of Liverpool’s four highest-scoring players – Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m), Andrew Robertson (£7.0m), Sadio Mané (£12.4m) and Mohamed Salah (£12.3) – whichever combination works best within your current structure.

Whilst Roberto Firmino’s (£9.3m) away performances are worth noting (all seven of his league goals have come on the road this season), we need to remember that these players aren’t solely for Gameweek 24.

Fixtures to follow include notable home games with West Ham United and Bournemouth, which suggest goals, and lots of them, which is why I favour the more attacking setup including both Mané and Salah.

With Reds assets in place, a question I’ve asked myself is, should we invest in West Ham?

On Friday’s evidence, it’s hard to get excited. I thought they were abject in possession, with nobody looking to support and run beyond Sébastien Haller (£7.0m). As it stands, I need to see more from them. All eyes on the London Stadium on Saturday.

On a more positive note, Southampton are a team I do like.

The Saints took just eight points from their opening 12 matches but now look at them. Only leaders Liverpool and champions Manchester City stand above them in the form table over the last ten games.

Alex McCarthy (£4.4m) or Jack Stephens (£4.3m) are my favoured routes into their defence.

With some good forthcoming fixtures, working one of them into your plans, alongside Danny Ings (£6.8m), looks like an astute move.

Southampton’s FA Cup fourth round opponents, Tottenham Hotspur, are a team who I thought got a lot right in Saturday’s narrow defeat to Liverpool, and had chances late on to at least draw level.

After the break, they were less direct and offered more threat following the introduction of Giovani Lo Celso (£7.3m) on 69 minutes. The Argentine has been so, so good recently and picked up where he left off on Saturday, by scoring Spurs’ opener in their FA Cup replay against Middlesbrough earlier this week. Another positive performance against Watford and he’s going to become an option.

Whilst I think Lo Celso could be the key to unlocking Spurs potential, this quote from Mourinho suggests Ben Davies (£5.3m) could be that player and hints at how he wants to play going forward:

If you want to know what I wanted to do, look to my first game, against West Ham. That’s the way I thought I was going to develop the team. Defend with a back four, attack with a back three. That was the first day of unlucky, goodbye Ben Davies.

What Spurs do need to do is tighten up – they’ve kept only two clean sheets in the league this season, the joint-worst record alongside Norwich City.

Talking of clean sheets, Everton have now kept ten in their last 16 home league games. 

Despite talk of possible rotationMason Holgate (£4.4m) could still be a nice, cheap route into their defence. If you can afford a bit more, I like Djibril Sidibé (£5.4m), who has at times been used further forward, and Lucas Digne (£5.7m). 

Also, Richarlison (£8.1m) has now returned in three of Carlo Ancelotti’s opening four league matches. In fact, no midfielder has taken more shots than him over that period.

A final word on my club, Aston Villa.

Sunday’s performance by Man City was superb but was aided by Villa gifting them goals from unforced errors. Kortney Hause (£4.4m), Danny Drinkwater (£4.4m) – they were all at it.

Regarding Drinkwater, why throw an unfit player into this type of game? It was baffling. I like Dean Smith but he’s been getting more wrong than right recently.

That being said, these types of game won’t shape our season, it’s the next three that will.

I still think there is hope, and the signing of Pepé Reina (£4.5m) will give everyone a lift, but Villa need to find a better balance in midfield and add a forward, quickly.

For Jack Grealish (£6.5m) owners, I’d be tempted to hold onto him a little longer. Against teams currently placed 12th and below this season, Grealish has returned four goals and five assists in ten games. If we’re going to score, he’ll probably be involved.

Looking ahead to Gameweek 23, I have two free transfers, with £0.3m in the bank.

Here’s how I’m currently set up:

I’m still undecided on transfers but am considering selling Çaglar Söyüncü (£5.1m).

Leicester City have regressed in recent weeks and without Wilfred Ndidi (£5.0m) screening the back four, I don’t see too many clean sheets over their next run of fixtures.

With Man City starting to pick up again, I’m leaning towards Kevin De Bruyne (£10.7m) as my captain but will likely make a late call on that one.

Thanks for reading… until next time.

    Good DGW week to maybe TC? I guess they'll be more in the late game weeks but yeeeaaaa other chips might be tempting then

      Almost picked tham team to well for me, Clive - good week to start the Toddster.

      1. BrutalLogiC

        Say what?

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years

          Who are you starting? Might be a good week for Cantwell, but then who is benched?

    Just thinking out loud.
    Saying rashford does play vs Liv.
    It may well be injected up through the pain barrier.
    Chances are he'll finally get his rest vs Bur anyway.

    1. Wag the Drog
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      That's what bothers me. I think this is the truth

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I think Ole just can't help himself and will keep pushing him till he falls to bits.

    3. QuintonFortune25
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not a bad shout to be fair. Rashford is pretty much our only hope to scoring at Anfield and will be crucial in that game. Against Burnley we 'should' easily win with Rashford having a rest.

      1. Big Ping
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Lol I'm not so sure on that

  4. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Mahrez or Richarlison?

    1. fgdu
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      both

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Mahrez while he is hot (if you have a decent sub)

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        What is it about him that makes you think that he is hot at the moment ?

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          His ludicrous form for a mid-price mid?

  5. yer old da
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Which trio would you rather have, A or B?

    A. Robertson, Maddison and Rashford
    B. Soyuncu, Salah and Abraham

    1. BNMC
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Tough call but A

    2. fgdu
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A but with richarlison or some other mid

      1. yer old da
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        A (once I bring in Williams for Rico) leaves me 0.3 or 0.4 to upgrade Maddison to anyone at 8.1 or less, so do have some flexibility for the 3rd mid.

        1. fgdu
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          thats good. i think that slot goes to whoever is in form to be fair

  6. BNMC
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I am now so tempted to bench boost. I will have to bench 2 of Alli, Cantwell, Soyuncu, and Lundstram this week - and you could make a case for starting all 4 of them.

    1. yer old da
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      There will likely be a scenario later in the season where you can bench boost during a DGW and get double the games for your bench. Hold fire.

  7. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I was thinking of getting Stephens (or Holgate possibly) for next week. But realise that I have Kelly in the same fixture. Which would you play out of the two?
    Also...is Ward back (potentially replacing Kelly)?

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

      I guess this isn't the most pressing concern what with the world on fire etc.

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I usually just play the home player in those situations, unless there is a massive form difference

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

        Guess so thanks. Seems a bit of a waste to do Rico to Stephens then next week. Alternative is Holgate but prefer saints fixtures.

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          they have Liverpool away the week after too, if benching then I might just save and re-evaluate after the Liverpool game (Holgate may be rested soon also)

  8. McGlynn8
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Grealish to Salah this week for -4

    Or wait until FT next week?

    1. QuintonFortune25
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Wait. In recent history Liverpool v United has been fairly low scoring and it's so obvious that Ole is going to defend with 10 men and try to counter with Rashford and James. Maybe 1 or 2 goals max for Liverpool I reckon.

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Edit-maybe Rashford and James

  9. Goobo
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Also start grealish or Cantwell this week? Usually on grealish but Bournemouth cannot defend...

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Cant

    2. QuintonFortune25
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Cantwell, it's a great fixture and he is actually very consistent at home

    3. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Im doing Cantwell

  10. yer old da
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    So I’m now definitely set on double Liverpool defence. Many of us will be holding at least 2 of Soyuncu, Kelly and Rico. Opting for Robbo means solving one of those problems. Next week Rico can become Williams and that’s two problems solved, with money spare for Kelly to Holgate in a couple of weeks. Going for Salah means an exceptionally weak defence and it’s just not worth it to me, even though I think Salah is running into form.

    1. Nailed Jesus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on TV though, plenty have TAA, Lunds, Sidibe, Mane & Salah

    2. Alberto Tomba
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'm treble Liverpool defence. I see us going on a run of 1-0 wins, hopefully not too many 0-0s or god forbid we concede and scrape for points..

  11. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    What's your 2 cents on these options?

    A) Jimenez, Martial, Maddison > Greenwood (bench fodder), Salah, 5.9 max. No hits involved.

    B) Jimenez, Rico > Greenwood, Robbo. Would go into GW25 with 2FT

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Already have Mane

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      B

    3. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      B

    4. QuintonFortune25
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      B

  12. QuintonFortune25
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Would you have Martial (liv) or Lundstram (ars) first on bench?

    Have Mahrez so could be an important call.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      M

    2. fgdu

      lund

    3. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Arsenal not scoring at home is pretty rare (although I guess an attacking return isn't out of the question), I'd have Martial first but tough one

      1. Klein
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Without auba though. I am backing a cs for shu.

    4. Yeezy FC
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Martial

  13. Maddamotha
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    What do we make of the Ings comments?

    1. Mingo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Interesting, it seems a pretty clear hint that they will rest him. It's about as definite as you will get from a manager. In the games that Ings was benched this season (Liv, Shu, Bou & Che) he's tended to be brought on for the last 15-20 mins. He could obviously score in this time but it is risks. I think I'll have him 1st bench and play both of Grealish & Deeney in their game.

      1. jtreble
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Not clear at all imho.

      2. Klein
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Clear hint or as definate as you can get from the manager? Wierd. I understood he is definately playing next match from what he said.

        1. Mingo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Sorry I wasn't clear. Clear hint that he will be rested for Palace as they don't want to push him when they have 2 games in 3 days.

          1. Klein
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Fair enough. Probably will get cameo. Think ill bench too.

            1. Mingo
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              That's what I'm worried about. With his form, he could score in the 15 minutes he's likely to play. I don't want to risk a 1 pointer when other players have better fixtures. However without that comment from Hasenhuttl you are definitely starting him without a second thought.

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      More likely to be rested in the second game.

    3. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      benching/selling next GW could be an option (if he starts) but for now it's just a wait and see

    4. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I dont own him, considering getting him in, but with him facing my keeper (Guaita) next week also, it is putting me off.

    5. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I think he'll start against Wolves and Palace, and be rested in the FA Cup ahead of Liverpool away in GW25. That would be similar to how he was used over Christmas, and I can't see Ralph doing anything to mess with his current hot run of form.

  14. Yeezy FC
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Calvert-Lewin or Traore?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      The one playing against a team that can't defend.

  15. Tinmen
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I have both Mane and Sterling and will captain one, but which one folks?

    1. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling imho.

    2. Yeezy FC
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Tough one...I'd go Mane. I sure hope Man U put up a fight, but it could easily be 4-0.

      1. Maddamotha
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        This is what they say every game Liverpool come up against United lately. Last time Liverpool were lucky to get a draw. Expect a tight game with few chances, but more likely for Liverpool to win it, 1-0 or 2-1. Depending on Rash injury.

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Raheem this week if you have him.

          Pretty sure Matthew meant bread as a metaphor for all food, but actually my favourite food might involve bread I suppose.

              First thought was something sandwich related, but now you have said it, I bloody love bread sauce.
              Something Old Testament, before G-d did his heel-face turn. Judges maybe?

                I love fried chicken, but i have to hold off on it now for health reasons 🙂
                And probably Acts, because I love how practical it is.

    Button | Rico, Greenwood, Kelly

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…

      1. Quackadoodz
        • 4 Years

    Rico to Stephens worth a transfer if nothing else doing?

    If Lund is dropped, think I would have Kelly subbed on for City away.

      Absolutely

    Ignacio Pussetto is priced at 5.0m and classified as a midfielder.

    What I'm interested is whether he will play out of position into a forward role. Lets look at the stats.
    Whoscored says he is primarily a right winger, but *alternatively* he can play as a striker or a second striker.
    Trasnfermarkt stats have it that throughout his career he has played
    43 G as a CF, with 8 G and 8 A
    36 G as a RW,, with 8 G and 8A
    9 G in other attacking positions.

    Last season in the 18/19 season, he played
    16 G as a Centre Forward, 3 G and 3 A
    4 G as a Right winger, 1 G and 1 A
    and 7 other games in other positions.

    Lets look at Watford's formations and selection in recent games.

    Watford's attacking quartet are
    Deeney
    Deulofeu Doucoure Sarr

    With Gray not being fancied at all by Pearson (playing only 39 min in the league) and Deeney playing almost every minute of every game since he arrived, could Pussetto be the backup for the CF position, maybe usurp the 31 y/o? An OOP position to watch and see imo.

      If he is not first choice he is not tempting.

        Yeah, again will have to see. But just thought it was interesting cuz I remembered him as FWD,and I saw on twitter he was announced as a MF. So yeah xD

    7. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Good post, I do think it's worth saying though that most of his goals came in the Argentine league and he didn't make much of an impact in Serie A where he struggled to get into a poor Udinese side.

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

        Yeah, will have to see how he fares.
        Pearson played Vardy uptop at Leicester, and Deeney, as good as he is, he's not a runner, is he? perhaps Pussetto provides a Vardy-esque running option?

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Deeney works for that attacking line-up though, holds it up and makes a nuisance of himself with runners around him. I think Pusseto will be a versatile back up, replacing Success in the squad who will leave either this month or in the summer, it's also a convenient way to move some money between two clubs owned by the Pozzo family.

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

            Ah yes, almost forgot about the Watford-Udinese bromance.

  23. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Just did Rashford to Ings for free. Gearing up for next week which seems like the best option for the LIV triple up (already have TAA and Salah):

    Soy --> Robbo for free
    Alli + Grealish --> Mane + Fleck/Cantwell (-4)

    If Spurs play well this next game will be very tempted to go Robbo and keep Alli as differential for NOR

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years

      Big if

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        yeah huge if. Just not sure shipping Alli and Grealish who both have good fixtures and easily capable of hauls just for Liverpool mid double up :/

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yes, get Robbo and see what happens.

      Holgate looks like he will be getting a rest, but you got Lord Lund so GTG to you.

      1. FirMinaMiMo
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yes for a reason! .kun plays this week 100% and also i m cent% sure he wont play gw24 (pep's rotations)

    3. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      nice plan!

  25. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Is this a good move in GW24:

    Kdb & Martial/Grealish >> Salah & Son

    PS, who would you take out? Grealish or Martial?

    1. FirMinaMiMo
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Grealish !!! 🙂 Out

    2. fgdu
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      keep kdb

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I know, want to keep him. BUT:

        1. From GW24, City face 7 of the top teams in the next 9
        2. City will probably have a blank in GW28 bcos of the carabao cup final
        3. He's the only player I can take out to get Salah AND Son in. Really want Son

        1. fgdu
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          double def kdb mane surely is better than going kdb less

          1. Coys96
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Salah less would be awful from gw25 tho

            1. fgdu
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              i reckon double def is as good as double mids

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Grealish, Utd at Burnley.

    4. FirMinaMiMo

      Tbh! Keep the king kdb!! ... Only for your quest! I answered 🙂

  26. HNI

    4 years, 2 months ago

    People who have trio of Mane/Salah/Kdb, how are you looking to go Spurs less? I hope Alli doesnt perform next gw but still it feels wrong to remove him before Norwich next gw :/

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I removed him the week before he played Norwich recently, didn't go badly (although it was a hard watch)

    2. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Spurs are just not that good atm.

      If Alli / Son find form, and one of the others do not perform, it is easy to downgrade from expensive options to Spurs.

      If all score the same, then it is a case that you can't have them all 🙂

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Rolling a FT which will give me the option of manoeuvring to Spurs next week if so minded. However, at the moment I have to say that I am not so minded - Spurs are yet to convince me., but I will be behind the sofa if I don't have Son v Norwich

    Are there any big threads, articles or posts about when to Triple Captain?

    This is my first season back in a couple, and some advice ahead of the first DGW fixtures would be very welcome 🙂

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Don't overthink, just do it GW24.
      Not many DGW with nearly a week between fixtures and Liv have won an unbelievable 20/21 games this season.

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…

        TC on TTA for you.

  28. UnitednationsXI

    Couple of quick questions

    1) DCL or Tammy for the next 4 fixtures? Haven’t seen either teams play recently so no idea who passes eye test. Stats are similar

    2A) Robbo/Son or
    2B) Aurier/Mane...already have Taa and Salah

  29. Kudo Warrior
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    What's peoples thoughts on Aguero as an option?

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      too expensive and not nailed enough (as in, not 100%)

    2. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      not a long term option (will leave after this week)

    3. fgdu
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      if he keeps scoring big points im getting him

  30. Marty McFly
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Pope McGovern
    TAA Chilwell Lundy Rico Webster
    Salah KDB Maddison Martial Dendo
    Vardy Rashford Ings

    2FTs, 0.2ITB.

    Still undecided on which 3rd Lpool player to bring in.

    I’m thinking Rashford + Maddison > Maupay + Lucas Moura. Leaving me with 3.4ITB and the option to bring in Robbo, Bobby or Mane (for -4) ahead of the DGW. Sound okay?
