FPL Gameweek 23: analysis of the key underlying stats

Share

This weekend’s set of fixtures precedes the first Double Gameweek of 2019/20 and there is much for Fantasy managers to ponder as we approach what could be a pivotal couple of weeks in many of our seasons.

With two Fantasy Premier League deadlines to negotiate in the space of 79 hours, we take a look at the data available in our Members’ Area and present the eye-catching stats that may be of interest.

We’ve run down the stand-out figures in every position, as well as looking at the strengths and weaknesses of various teams to assess which Fantasy Premier League assets could shine in Gameweek 23 and beyond.

Subscribers can read on for our analysis below, while those wishing to sign up to our site – and see a list of the benefits that membership brings – can do so by clicking here.

Rolling monthly subscriptions are now available for £2.99, while half-season memberships (expiring on June 1) can be bought for £9.99. Click here to sign up or upgrade your account.

    Should I just go ahead and do Rashford>DCL this week to afford Grealish>Salah in GW24. I planned the moves a few weeks back and the Rashford drop and injury might be a sign to go for it.

      IF plan is to go without Rashford to get Salah, yes. But I would keep Rash and go double Pool defence.

        A lot of people have recommended that but I'm never a big fan of double defences and feel not having Salah could be more dangerous. Taa would weaken the rest of the team less though and would like to keep Rashford if the injury isn't bad - could always switch Maddi to Martial to cover Utd in GW25 though

          I have Salah + Mané + TAA, but I'm considering switching to double defence. The £5m 'ish difference not to be scoffed at.

      I just shipped Rashford because of his impending drop. A 0.1 difference there and any increase in Mane's price before I move on him would have priced me out, so my hand was forced a little.

      You're in the same boat as me with Cantwell's favourable fixture against Bournemouth; I'm guessing you we're going to bench Marcus anyway.

    Probably not worth a -4 despite having to start 2 MUN players vs pool if not?

    Maguire > Robbo

    Gazzaniga
    TAA, Maguire, Soyuncu
    Mane, KDB, Martial, Maddison
    Vardy, Ings, DCL

    It can wait another week for the DGW, although Lloris return may force Gazzaniga out by then as I don’t have a playing 2nd keeper.

      I have the same decision to make only Rashford >> Maupay to fund Maddison > Mane next week.

      I’m hesitating because if I make the move I will have to bench one of Sarr or Cantwell so I may just bench Rashford and make the call next week.
      Maupay will be off the table next week though as Villa will be missed.
      Holding Rashford still leaves the door open next week to choose between Robertson,Mane or Firmino. Which might be the better call . I’d be kicking myself this week if One of the Liverpool gets injured or sent off against United.

      Of course it’s your call.

    I was planning on saving my ft and doing Maddison and Soyuncu to Martial and Gomez next gw for free. Should I just use it to bring in Tanganga or Williams for Rico and just do Soyuncu to Gomez next gw?
