Fernandes the key target for FPL managers using free transfers in Gameweek 31

Football may have come to a standstill amid the current coronavirus pandemic but the Fantasy Premier League ghost ship continues to drift onward towards an uncertain conclusion.

FPL’s decision to leave the Gameweek deadlines as originally scheduled (despite the postponement of top-flight fixtures over the next month and beyond) means that we have now endured two ’empty’ Gameweeks, with a further four to follow at the very least before we see a ball kicked again.

Given that the United Kingdom is about to embark on a virtual lockdown period that will last a minimum of three weeks, it would be a huge surprise if we are anywhere near ready for a resumption in Gameweek 36.

Despite the shortage of fixtures, the Gameweek rules in FPL remain the same – the most significant one of which concerns transfers.

Fantasy managers are granted a free transfer each Gameweek, with a maximum of two rolled over, which does present us with the option of carrying out some maintenance on our squads, should there be any pressing issues to fix.

While some FPL bosses will be leaving well alone until we have more concrete information about a possible restart or simply as a result of a loss of interest, others are using the opportunity to make small-scale improvements or carry out gradual overhauls of their squads.

Certainly, those without a second Wildcard remaining will perhaps be viewing this period as a time to rebuild ahead of the 2019/20 run-in, should we ever get to that point.

Why Calvert-Lewin could be next value forward as Alli unlucky at Norwich

There were 194,078 transfers made in Gameweek 31, which is a fraction of what we’d usually get in a regulation weekend but still a reminder that some FPL managers are keeping active during the downtime.

Bruno Fernandes (£8.5m), as he was in Gameweeks 28 and 30, was the most-bought player, and he is already the most popular purchase of what would have been the March international break.

The Portugal international has hit the ground running at Manchester United, averaging 7.6 points per match in his first five league starts.

No player has delivered more attacking returns in FPL than Fernandes since he made his Red Devils debut.

It’s perhaps not just the Portuguese’s form that is attracting investment but his fixtures too, with United facing six bottom-half teams in the run-in – whatever order they might be in.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.4m) will have a plum Gameweek 36 fixture (v Aston Villa) if a miracle happens and the Premier League restarts in early May and he trailed only Fernandes in terms of Gameweek 31 transfers in.

A Gameweek 29 blank at Stamford Bridge hasn’t deterred Fantasy managers from snapping up the Everton striker, who has scored more league goals since Carlo Ancelotti first took charge on Merseyside than any other FPL asset.

A handful of mid-price/premium defenders were also favoured recruits, with Matt Doherty (£6.3m), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.3m) and Marcos Alonso (£6.1m), three of the most in-form players at the back, all attracting some support.

Ricardo Pereira‘s (£6.3m) injury and subsequent loss of ownership, more of which in a second, perhaps partly accounts for that.

Leicester City’s sidelined right-back, who is set to miss between four and six months of action with an ACL injury, may not see any more Premier League football in 2019/20 even if we have a delayed conclusion.

While it’s worth thinking twice about shipping out a player who is yellow-flagged in FPL at present, there doesn’t seem to be much in the way of a downside to offloading a player who may not even be ready for the start of next season.

Pereira was consequently the most-sold player of Gameweek 31, although still sits in over 950,000 FPL squads at the time of writing.

Danny Ings (£7.1m) is the most-ditched asset of Gameweek 32 as it stands and he trailed only Pereira for sales ahead of last Friday’s deadline.

Fitness isn’t really the issue with the Southampton striker but form is: he has blanked in six of his last seven appearances in the top flight.

The Saints enjoy some decent fixtures in the last quarter of the season (including Brighton, Bournemouth and Norwich) but having in-form alternatives like Calvert-Lewin as rivals in the mid-price forward bracket does dent his appeal at present.

Yellow flags in FPL may have been a reason why James Maddison (£7.5m) and Kevin De Bruyne (£10.6m) were moved on by a combined 13,753 managers, although Maddison’s awful run of 12 blanks in 13 Gameweeks will have also been a contributing factor.

We usually bring you a stat-heavy summary of chip usage and player ownership in the top 10k after every Gameweek (in conjunction with Ragabolly’s LiveFPL site) but the hiatus has made that a worthless exercise, given how dormant many active managers are.

One manager inside the top 10,000 did, rather oddly, opt to play their Wildcard in Gameweek 31, and the make-up of that new squad (featuring the likes of Doherty, Fernandes and De Bruyne) suggests this was an earnest decision rather than an act of self-sabotage.

We can’t quite be sure about the 2,432 managers outside of the top 10k who used a chip in Gameweek 31 – some may have been acting in good faith but there are plenty of others towards the bottom of the rankings that appear to thrive on the wanton destruction of their own squads, so this could account for some of the figure.

    Think we're going to start hearing a bit more about this in the coming days - the way Italy are recording Covid19 deaths (their death rate is approaching ~10% vs. less than 0.5% in Germany, with UK around ~5.0% & WHO global rate ~4.2%) is questionable to say the least, if not extremely questionable:

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/have-many-coronavirus-patients-died-italy/

    Prof Ricciardi added that Italy’s death rate may also appear high because of how doctors record fatalities.

    “The way in which we code deaths in our country is very generous in the sense that all the people who die in hospitals with the coronavirus are deemed to be dying of the coronavirus."

    [That sentence alone should have people sitting up & saying "Sorry, you're doing WHAT?"]

    “On re-evaluation by the National Institute of Health, only 12 per cent of death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus, while 88 per cent of patients who have died have at least one pre-morbidity - many had two or three,” he says.

    This does not mean that Covid-19 did not contribute to a patient's death, rather it demonstrates that Italy's fatality toll has surged as a large proportion of patients have underlying health conditions. Experts have also warned against making direct comparisons between countries due to discrepancies in testing.

    It really is very hard to put much faith in any of these numbers being advertised by any countries at the minute - seriously unknown territory

      It doesnt matter why people are dying. Hospitals cant cope with that many people at once.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 days ago

        Of course it matters why people are dying - hospitals being stretched beyond capacity and the importance of clarity on causes of death are not mutually exclusive

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 4 days ago

          True, but it doesnt matter much to the layman. We've got to follow government advise. 2m's at all times, no exceptions.

            Again, following government advice and the importance of clarity on causes of death are also not mutually exclusive?

            1. Ginkapo FPL
              • 12 Years

              I know thats not your intention, its how I think people will interpret your posts at the moment though.

              1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

                4 years, 4 days ago

                Not sure who “people” or “the layman” are - but I think they can be trusted to appropriately digest the information that Italy are attributing:

                “all the people who die in hospitals with the coronavirus are deemed to be dying of the coronavirus”

                The difference between “With” and “Of” is huge

                  4 years, 4 days ago

                  I have no idea how it works, but if people are dying from respiratory issues would it be more honest to describe it as with or of covid, even if they also had heart issues or whatever? I'm not that bothered really but all countries should be reporting it the same way imo

                  1. SADIO SANÉ
                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 4 days ago

                    I say 'imo' like that's not obvious, but yeah

                    Bang on. It would b so much easier for everyone if each country used the same criteria.

                  3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                    • 14 Years
                    4 years, 4 days ago

                    Yep, in addition to being utterly tragic, I think it’s a significant delineation between with & of - together with the extreme age profile and prevalence of underlying health conditions

                    1. SADIO SANÉ
                      • 8 Years
                      4 years, 4 days ago

                      yeah, I guess as Gink says if everyone just practises social distancing it doesn't really matter too much either way - but it is quite annoying how it's being reported differently with the lack of context.

                      Also, it's easy for people to moan at headlines like '39 year old dies of covid-19' (and not mentioning previous illness/condition) because it's 'unnecessarily scaring people', but that might not be a bad thing at all (unless people start rioting/looting obviously)

                      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                        • 14 Years
                        4 years, 4 days ago

                        It’s such a slippery slope to take the “it doesn’t matter” approach though

                        The truth always matters - and the approach that bogus figures are justified because “the layman” or “the people” won’t do what they’re told without them doesn’t really sit well

                        As much of the truth as is available, and the good sense to follow the experts advice shouldn’t be mutually exclusive

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

                        yeah true, it does. I mean either way we won't really know for sure for about 6 months+ who did things better - sounds bad but just because people don't die now doesn't mean they won't in October if a second wave goes big at normal flu time. 'cocooning' for the win, although I don't think anywhere has really done that so it can't really be proven right annoyingly

                      3. SADIO SANÉ
                        • 8 Years
                        4 years, 4 days ago

                        potentially 12-18 months really

                      4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                        • 14 Years
                        4 years, 4 days ago

                        I think we all have to look to Germany at the minute as the leader in terms of short term success - hopefully their relative avoidance of fatalities is sustainable and even transferable

                        6 months seems almost unimaginably far away but will come around eventually

                      5. SADIO SANÉ
                        • 8 Years
                        4 years, 4 days ago

                        Yeah - they seem to be one of those going with 'with covid' instead of 'of covid' so hard to tell.

                        I'm assuming there's a few reasons why it's not relevant, but Spanish Flu starting killing younger people on the second go round - we won't know until that happens/doesn't happen

                      6. SADIO SANÉ
                        • 8 Years
                        4 years, 4 days ago

                        that's why 'post-illness testing' needs to be a thing, loads of people are going to think they have it now (even if it was just a normal cold) and that they are still immune in October and ignore all advice. It could it could get way worse than this then (especially considering 'normal flu' hospital numbers at that time normally)

                      7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                        • 14 Years
                        4 years, 4 days ago

                        Well hopefully the German’s focus on testing massive volumes of people is something that the rest of the world can develop capacity to match in time

                        We do have a leading indicator in China in terms of what things look like months down the line, this broke in China nearly 6 months ago back in Nov’19 & they are now going as far as releasing the travel restrictions in the Hubei province (including Wuhan) at midnight tonight

                        Many a sceptic eyebrow has been raised at their officially reported numbers too of course, but taking them at face value - managing to limit a population of 1.5 billion people who were, for 5-6 months, exposed to an ultra contagious virus with such high mortality rates in certain geographies to just 3,000 deaths was phenomenal (if true)

                      8. SADIO SANÉ
                        • 8 Years
                        4 years, 4 days ago

                        yeah, testing massive amounts of people is pretty important, even longer term

                        Yeah I don't really doubt the China numbers too much (certainly not as much as some people) because they went nuclear with their shutdown - but I personally can't see how they don't get another wave within 4 weeks or so. I guess they can blame that wave on foreigners and they are then out of the woods, so to speak.

                        Be interesting to see what the US do, it's not going to be enforced very well at all I wouldn't think but that could be as close to 'cocooning' as we're going to get

                        let's say it works, US stocks could be in for monumental rises in October-time when Europe gets battered again and they are still going on as normal, just in time for Trump's reelection

                      10. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                        • 14 Years
                        4 years, 4 days ago

                        The US situation could be grave apparently - I caught a sound bite from the Joe Rogan Andy Stumpf podcast the other day that some ridiculously high percentage of American households are literally living paycheck to pay check & cant afford a non standard expense above $400

                        And they’ve just shut down Los Angeles for a month... on the other hand Trump is saying he wants the US open for business during the whole thing - the economic & social ramifications could even possibly be greater than the actual virus health risk for a lot of households in the US unfortunately

                        No idea how this one is going to play out

                      11. SADIO SANÉ
                        • 8 Years
                        4 years, 4 days ago

                        yeah that's the thing, people just immediately think 'Trump only cares about the stock market/economy, he doesn't care if we die' but having everything close is not really an option for a LOT of people in that country (a depression would obviously be very bad for almost everyone) - they are kinda screwed either way, but if second wave immunity ends up being a thing that's some small silver lining - lots of people will die there, it's sad, but there's no easy way unfortunately.

                        Lockdown is the obvious knee-jerk response, but it really isn't that simple longer term (although it could also end up being correct) and a bad version of cocooning could be better than a good version of lockdown, however stupid that could sound/end up being - who knows

                      12. SADIO SANÉ
                        • 8 Years
                        4 years, 4 days ago

                        do you watch/listen to Rogan much or just in passing? I'm thinking about giving it a go but don't want to cloud my own judgements/get into his bubble too much; but seems like they talk about some interesting stuff

                      13. SADIO SANÉ
                        • 8 Years
                        4 years, 4 days ago

                        on the flip side, also I've read about 'viral load' which I knew nothing about before - maybe younger people will start getting in trouble there if they do go back to work, especially with their general health care/availability issues; could get real bad

                      14. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                        • 14 Years
                        4 years, 4 days ago

                        There are some very good episodes of Rogan, but he has literally done thousands of podcasts so it’s practically impossible to listen to more than a small percentage

                        He covers every topic under the sun though, so if you tune in to whichever guests interest you they’re great entertainmen

                        My personal favourites would be Paul Stamets, Randall Carlson & Graham Hancock all of whom he has on multiple times

                        But he’ll do some good topical podcasts as well - Michael Osterholm recently was very good on Covid19, he has loads of ex navy SEALs & special forces guys, stand up comedians, MMA fighters, software developers, Game developers, Elon Musk...

                        The daddy of them all though was the Alex Jones & Eddie Bravo episode around the time Rogan & Jones were having a bit of a feud around Jones’ court case - it ran for nearly 5 hours & must be one of the highlights of the 21st century for how out of control it got in a comedically ridiculous way - Alex Jones is a very, very loose canon

                        cheers for the summary, think I've seen an extended clip with Goggins but not too much else. Yeah Alex Jones is a ridiculous person, that sounds very good - I'll have that one on in the background tomorrow

      And how on earth is Italy's infection rate rising out of contr with the country in lockdown?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 days ago

        *control*

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

        14-21-day incubation period is one reason, the other (related) reason could be 'viral load' which almost no-one is talking about.

        Basically, being in a living room with say 5 other people (Italians have larger families in each household apparently, haven't researched this myself) that all have it (but don't know they have it) means that those 5 people get a higher viral load and are much more likely to seek/need testing/ventilators. This is the reason many doctors in other countries (especially those short of protective wear) are getting into trouble/dying themselves - basically more exposure to it makes it much worse, it's not just a case of just 'either you have it or you don't'.

        In other words, for some people, lockdown could actually be worse (depending on family size/infection amount)

      3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 days ago

        It’s hard to believe now - but as recently as 2 weeks ago cafes & restaurants were still open in Italy - and as of yesterday their infection rate and death rate were starting to slow down (albeit slowing down from tragically high baselines) unfortunately it looks like they both increased again today though - but with the way they’re reporting deaths the majority are not actually solely Covid19-driven at all

        They also have the second oldest population in the world, huh rates of multiple generations of families sharing the same houses, very high rates of smoking and the strain on their health service that brings with it - as well as a huge volume of Chinese immigrants/workers in the textile industry in the north of the country - a recipe for disaster if ever there was one

              Yeah, I studied and worked in Science all of my life mostly in Pharmaceutical and Food Industries before moving to China to teach... best decision ever, happiness and holidays over stress anyday 🙂

                Excellent mate !
                And yes, it's a horrible addiction.
                I've tried a few times previously. Failed all times 🙁

    A quick question, they say family cannot visit each other in different households. How is this being managed? They expect people to do the right thing but it's impossible to manage.

    I just saw family members visiting neighbours, probably for a cuppa and then left. They are not elderly but it's infuriating. Also it seems their son who has his own place is visiting during lunchtimes from his job at the local warehouse and just turned up again this evening probably to sleep over. He has his own place but continues visiting

    If they stop people to ask where they are going, they could just tell them they are going home. But to whose home?

    1. SADIO SANÉ

      it's not really being managed but I guess it's just called self responsibility and community spirit, unless people want police/army putting people in vans/baton-ing people, then all that can be done has been done really

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 days ago

      It may look rude but avoiding neighborhood is also important i guess. Unless it's an emergency that is

      Sounds like you are acting out the James Stewart role in the Hitchcock classic Rear Window. 🙂

        Having fun with my 4 year old keeping tabs on what deliveries our neighbours are getting. Number 6 - in self isolation took in a crate of wine today. Number 7 had Asda in while number 10 had a mystery package.

        We made do with 20 litres of cat litter - we have 4 kittens all of whom refuse to use outside.

        1. Monkey Hanger
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 days ago

          If I had to visit one, it would definitely be 6.

          1. pingissimus
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 4 days ago

            Good choice.

            The self isolation is just because the 3 year old got snotty at the wrong time.

    So Fernandes was last weeks transfer... Who are we getting this week? Ings to DCL?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 days ago

      I'm thinking about:
      A. Grealish >> Cantwell
      B. VvD >> Taylor
      C. Henderson>> Pope

      With 1 FT & save other one

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 days ago

        Cantwell? 43 points in the last 15 game weeks and that includes 2 hauls.

        Norwich attack generally has been cack ever since. The reputation for attacking football is a chimera. Think of game week 1 away compared to the home game against Liverpool

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 days ago

          Hello bro.
          Very good to see you !
          Tell me a better fodder than. Don't need 8th attacker now having used BB already

          1. pingissimus
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 4 days ago

            I’m on Ayew - best value attacker in the game. Notionally I’d keep him. Palace don’t go on the beach historically. Can see him scoring a couple more anyway.

            Pondering whether BB or TC is the play in notional bumper week. If it’s BB will go Wood.

            If - bizarrely - you don’t fancy Palace attack I’d go Jorginho

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 4 days ago

              Jorginho
              Hmm. Pens too ehh.

              I love 343 so don't see going ayew myself tbh buddy

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 days ago

      ING to DCL was my last FT

    3. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 days ago

      I just used my spare FT on Giroud to Nketiath but does it really matter...nah!

    4. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Yep Ings to DCL next week.

    Here's a tip for everyone go to the transfer page take out all your players & bring in the best players you can within your budget concentrating on teams with more games , add all these players to your watch list & bring them in one at a time each week

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 days ago

      I've already got most of the best players. 😀

      1. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 days ago

        I don't doubt that you have but the key is teams with games in hand & something to play for

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 days ago

      As simple as that huh. I never realised FPL was so easy.

      1. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 days ago

        Not so easy take Spurs & Arsenal as an example
        Kane 10.8 with 9 games to play or
        Aubameyang 11.1 with 10 games to play
        Who would you choose ?
        Also Sheff Utd pushing for Europe with a game in hand
        Villa with a game in hand you must have Grealish and or McGinn (coming back from injury)

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 4 days ago

          Not a chance I'd be having Grealish. Game in hand or not they have the worst fixtures of any club.

          1. Nomar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 4 days ago

            And this is from a Villa fan, too...

            1. Ron_Swanson
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 4 days ago

              Wouldn't have any Villa players even if they had 5 games in hand!

  7. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 days ago

    Just paused my Sky sports channels not worth paying £16 a month to watch old reruns & last years F1 etc.

    1. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 days ago

      Sensible decision does anybody know the charges (if any) to cancel & then re-subscribe if or when the season resumes ?

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 days ago

        you can just pause it really easy, not much point cancelling if you want it back

        1. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 days ago

          This will just carry on, new without discount £42 for all sports channels with Q

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 days ago

      I paused mine last week, sky said they won’t charge me for the sports channels and I get to keep watching them until the sport is back up and running

  8. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 days ago

    Spent the last couple of weeks making transfers.... not really sure what I'm working towards... so just getting in players i want....

    who goes next?

    Pope Button
    TAA Lascelles Taylor Saiss Stephens
    KDB Mane Salah Fernandes Hayden
    Ings DLC Jimi

    0.3ITB..... Thinking Taylor to Basham/Eagen to cover Sheff utd defence with Henderson high ownership....

  9. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 days ago

    No cheating now. How many points do these forwards have this season?

    A DCL
    B Wood
    C Ayew

    1. Marmalade Forest
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 days ago

      Bet Ayew is top. Eyed him up earlier in the season. Loads of bonus points and consistent returns.

      Zero interest in signing him

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 days ago

        eurgh I had Ayew at one point, thought it was a genius 352/343 hybrid move with him and Cantwell - it did not go well, done well recently though obv

    A colleague from work has just arranged a virtual after work drinks session for Friday. This is our new reality.

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 days ago

      Lol how do you even do that?

      1. The Mighty Hippo
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 days ago

        You all log into a Skype or Microsoft Teams online meeting with a drink in hand. The only rules are no work talk.

        1. WALOR
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 days ago

          But I can't bill the client if there's no work talk.

  11. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 days ago

    Anyone know how to enter this Champ, Manager game devised by Ragabolly? Starts Saturday I believe, and have heard that there is already over six hundred players. Could be a great time killer during this lock down.

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 days ago

        That's the one, thanks. Are you in?

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 days ago

          I thought of the idea independently a few years back, but I'm too idiotic to run it (and didn't think it would be popular) but given the current situation and with Ragabolly involved it could be great, very good idea imo - but I've got reading I've been putting off to do, and this could be a good time to do it...so prob not - have fun!
