FPL’s reigning India winner Lateriser: The eye-catching stats ahead of Gameweek 11

An elite Fantasy Premier League manager with three top 200 overall ranks to his name, Lateriser12, picks out some player and team statistics ahead of Saturday’s deadline.


It’s been a while since I did a deep dive into the Fantasy Football Scout Premium Members Area so this is what I’ll be focusing on in my latest article, citing stats that have caught my attention.

What is FPL Upside Chasing and how can I implement it in 2020/21?

    Worth doing Martinez to McCarthy for free ?

    Or just go without the GK ?

    Martinez
    Robo/Cancelo/Chilwell
    Bruno/Son/Sterling(c)/Grealish
    Vardy/DCL/Bamford

    Martin/Kilman/Mitchell/Stephens

    1. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      AV will still have some good fixtures so not sure about losing Martinez

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Go for it. Villa rarely keep clean sheets in their so called “good fixtures”

    2. TKC07
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I would keep Martinez.

      But, wait for pressers If PEACOCK-FARRELL plays, transfer him in for free.

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Could get him in place of Martin but Burnley are terrible anyway

  2. _Gunner
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Kane + Bissouma + Martinez > Welbeck/Bamford + Mahrez + Ederson (-4)

    Yes or No?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No

      1. white heart pain

        +1

    In what is already one of the most confusing seasons of FPL, it is not helped that so many of the players have the same name. There's the James': Reece, Hamez, (James) Justin and Daniel. There's a JRod (second appearance) and a JayRod. There's Mendy, Mendy and Mendy. I'm wondering if in the interests in supporting us already weary FPLers, that we might request that players register a unique name at the start of the season?

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No i like the confusion

    2. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      You dind't even bring up the league is lousy with Mendys.

      1. Birds of Prey
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        oops sorry you did. Get a Mendy everyone needs at least one. 2 maybe, but never-ever 3.

        1. The Ilfordian
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Getting a Mendy feels like something that might need to wait until Christmas. I think Mendy, Mendy and Mendy might be the name of our local solicitors too?

    3. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Pick one medny and stick with it

      1. Birds of Prey
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        FPL has a Mendy discount-- get two Mendy's 3rd is free.

  4. Birds of Prey
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Ya know I made the choice to go w/o a keeper. Good fixtures and ultimately a dgw.
    You have larger issues. IMO GL

  5. Philosopher's Stones

    Palace fans: which four defenders are nailed to start when all your defenders are fit?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Can this only be answered by Palace fans?

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Ferguson Cahill Sakho PVA would be my guess but I’m no Palace fan - though I have been to Selhurst Park a couple of times

        1. Philosopher's Stones
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Okay. Thanks. Want to replace Mitchell with another Palace defender but not sure who starts this week, other than PVA, for whom I don't have enough funds.

          1. Miguel Sanchez
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Not sure on the injury status of the CBs above but something pretty wrong with Ferguson- coming up to a year without football soon

      2. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Can be answered by anyone, of course. Just feel Palace fans would know more about their team, but I'm sure some non Palace fans could be just as much knowledgeable, if not more.

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Scott Dann looked off the pace, but I think Woy will no doubt play him week in week out

  6. Captain_Shirokov
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Chilwell, Dias, KWP, Dallas
    KDB, Bruno, Ziyech
    Kane, DCL, Bamford

    (Grealish, Stephens, Braithwaithe)

    1.4m in the bank, one free transfer and not a clue what to do. Thoughts?

    1. AD105
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Probably save it tbh, unless you fancy a punt on something like Grealish to Jota

  7. Indio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    So I'm bringing in KDB - but how, and should I take a hit elsewhere? (1FT; £4.4 itb):

    Martinez (Forster)
    Cancelo, KWP, Chilwell, Coufal, Mitchell
    Bruno, Jota, Grealish, Ziyech, Son
    Vardy, DCL, Brewster

    A: Son > KDB for free
    B: Ziyech > KDB for free
    C: Either of above with Cancelo > Dias (-4)
    D: Either of above with Martinez > Meslier (-4)

    Thanks all.

    1. Union_Jacks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B

    2. LC1
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B easy.

  8. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Which is the best ?
    A- Play Bissouma
    B- Semedo > James for -4
    But B For Long term.

    1. Jdpz
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      a

    2. TKC07
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B easy, if you have enough bench strength. Expect James/Azpi rotation with busy fixtures ahead.

  9. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Is there any point taking out Martinez for a hit? Don't see many better keepers in his price range.

    1. TKC07
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      If PEACOCK-FARRELL plays, transfer him in for second GK, but definitely not for a hit.

  10. fish&chips
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    How's this rough plan assuming no other fires:

    Gw11 forster -> Johnstone (to cover Martinez)
    GW12 sterling -> Salah
    GW13 Kane & Bowen -> Bruno & Watkins (-4)

  11. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    End of the line for Justin or will they shift him out to the left? Fuchs has hardly looked great...

  12. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Salah Bruno Grealish (bought at 7M) Son

    How to get Jota????

    1. wilsonito
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Replace one of your mids

    2. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      You have Salah, relax

  13. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Can I get away with no Salah for the short term?

    KDB Bruno Son Jota
    Vardy Dcl Bamford

    He's the standout captain in only 4 of the next 10 gws imo,which apart from next week, I can cover with other players.

    Gw 12 - ful, my alternative one of Vardy/Jota/Son
    Gw 15 - WBA, my alternative KDB(c) - NEW
    Gw 16 - new, my alternative Son(c) - FUL
    Gw 18 - BUR, my alternative KDB(BHA)/Bruno(ful)

  14. rnrd
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Madness to do Sterling to Salah (C) this GW?

    the other option is to keep Sterling but I really don't feel confortable captaining him

    1. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I'm going (c) Sterling, last game for him in my team

      1. Mighty Wings
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Do you really think he'll start after another 90 minutes midweek?

        1. Atimis
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          We are talking about professional players or some sunday league? Sure he can start the game

          1. Mighty Wings
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            We are talking about Pep...

          2. FPL.team
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Even Sunday league players play twice a week. Most of ours play the Saturday and Sunday.

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I am sticking with my original plan of moving him out in 12 for Salah. I am keeping and probably captaining Vardy

      1. rnrd
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        that was my plan too but I'm actually asking myself is there is any good things backing up the fact Sterling is a better C option vs Fulham than Salah vs Wolv this week.

        I mean Sterling is not a sure starter, he's not on pens, there's a slight risk of cameo if not starting, he's not been clinical lately, there's no real reason Pep won't play the same team than vs BUR as Ful will be quite the same kind of opponent (and Mendy has been rested mid week so same stratgey might apply with Mendy / Torres).

        On the opposite, Salah is a sure starter, he's on pen, he has better stats and I expect Wolves to be quite shaken by Jimenez missing. I mean, they will be obliged to play a structure they are not familiar with

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Great points actually. All of it makes absolute senses. Wondering if I have a fear of missing out. Been patient with Sterling for so long. Do not want a situation where he plays and hauls. But I guess it's more psychological than logical.

    3. Chelsea91
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Going Salah

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Not removing Sterling. This is his last week regardless of what happens though.

      Probably captaining KdB.

    5. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Torres was subbed early which could be a sign that he'll play on the weekend.

      However Sterling was subbed early last week and didn't start on the weekend. And since he didn't play at all vs Burnley he could easily play twice in a row, while Torres having now started twice in a row could be benched.

  15. ZakyJ
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Newcastle seriously putting a spanner in the works!!!!

    Martinez Forster
    Coufal Robbo Justin Chilwell Mitchell
    Salah Bruno Grealish Son JRod
    Watkins DCL Brewster

    1.7itb 2FT

    do i stick with what i was going to do or now alter to get 11 players playing:

    Stick: Robbo & JRod > KDB & Ayling/KWP (Starting Brewster and no GK)
    Twist: Mitchel & Martinez > Ayling & McCarthy or something.

    Also Robbo has a nock so might not play anyway..

  16. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Think this blank has provided us with the perfect opportunity to sort benches out before the big fixture rush.

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Some of us already have good bench cover 😉

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Lucky you. I've had fires to put out all season with injury, red cards etc.

  17. Tinmen
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Folks,is Abraham still expected to start this weekend ?

    He’s too risky to bring in isn’t he ?

  18. wilsonito
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Hypothetically, what would happen if the villa game was played on Monday? Any points just be added to this game week?

    1. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I'd imagine Monday-Wednesday would still be gmwk11

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

      Yes, even if it’s played Tuesday - it will be part of this game week.

  19. FPLord
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Martinez (Forster)
    Robertson Chillwell Cancelo Dallas (Douglas)
    Fernandes Ziyech Son (Grealish Stephens)
    DCL Kane Bamford 1.6 2FT

    A.
    GW11: Son, Cancelo > KDB, Webster
    GW12: probably Ziyech, KDB > Jota, Salah (-4)

    B.
    GW11: Martinez, Stephens, Son > McCarthy, Mahrez, Jota (-4)
    GW12: probably save and go without Salah

    C:
    GW11: Cancelo > Webster
    GW12: Son, Ziyech > Jota, Salah

    Tbh I'm not very confident in any of those moves

  20. AD105
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    4.3 ITB and 1 FT

    Thinking of just doing Grealish to KDB, or is anything else worth a hit? I don’t have a second playing GK

    Martinez*
    Robbo Chilwell Cresswell
    Bruno Son Grealish* Jota
    Vardy(c) DCL Bamford

    1. waltzingmatildas

      Looks good

      1. white heart pain

        Do it

  21. Babit1967
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    As a non KDB owner I Think I’m going to toss a coin this week with captaincy

  22. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    My team is an absolute mess. No playing bench and I also own 3 Villa. If no rotation, I can field 7 players.

    Should I ride it out or FH?

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Or take lots of hits!

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I would take hits. If you FH, are you gonna be happy with your team next week? I suspect not.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I would! I don’t want to sell Kane/Son and I’d have to to afford upgrading my non playing players.

      2. TJ
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        you selling Martinez?

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Unlucky, plenty taking hits, I don’t have a keeper this week.
      FH will rescue you but could be handy for the blanks etc

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        My playing players have not the best of fixtures either though....

    4. white heart pain
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      -8 should get you to 10 players

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yes by selling players I want to keep long term though in order to find. Will lose a lot of value on the likes of Son and Kane unfortunately!

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          *fund

        2. white heart pain
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Why sell kane and son. They are at least playing this week. You may have just answered your own question there.

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah I did sorry but I have no money itb so in order to upgrade the non playing fodder I have I’d have to sell some players that I don’t want to I guess. Or else just sell the Villa players like for like price range which is just annoying for one week as they still have good fixtures.

            1. white heart pain
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              I think you don’t want to FH but need to if you want to keep your AV players

    5. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I am in the same boat. Go with what you feelis right. At the moment I am free hitting

      1. FPL Blow-In

        Team Bobcat ftw

    Salah Fernandes KDB Foden
    Kane DCL Bamford

    Nyland Burke Mitchell Douglas

    A) roll transfer get foden to jota next week
    B) mitchell to N.williams gor kilmans bad fixture

    1. white heart pain

      Bench is a mess

  25. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    In my mini-league of four rivals has Vardy and not one has Jesus. Kane is in 13 teams.
    Kane to Jesus?

    1. white heart pain
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Kane probs plays and has a good record V ars

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Don't sell Kane.

  26. Captain_Shirokov
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    A) 3.9m def to R. James/Lamptey

    B) Martinez to any keeper in the game (Mendy)

    C) Steer to Peacock-Farrell

    D) Kane to Vardy

    E) Stephens to Soucek/Podence

    Best move here is?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B.

  27. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Which do you prefer long term?
    A) KDB and Kane
    B) Salah and Jesus
    C) Salah and Kane

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B for the next few, but C long term.

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah that's what I'm leaning towards. Think I'll just stick with Kane

  28. drughi
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Can I get away with this team this week ? Feels very uncomfortable with no city players I must say. 0 FT and 0.1 itb

    Mccarthy
    Robertson Bellerin Chilwell
    Ziyech Soucek Bruno Salah(C)
    Vardy DCL Adams

    Forster Ayling grealish douglas

    1. RealSocialDads
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Ziyech -> Mahrez could be good

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        could be awful aswell with ziyech rested and playing leeds

  29. Beavis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Is Jota a viable alternative to Salah in the short-term?

    Would allow you to keep the likes of Bruno, Vardy, Kane and Son who many are planning to downgrade to get to Salah in GW 12.

    1. RealSocialDads
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I would be very cautious to go without Salah, depends how short term you mean

      He is a great option but for me i would always want to captain Salah over Jota. He has pens for one. He is the ultimate go to captain in the weeks where it is tough to decide too.

      Jota is a great stand-alone pick, but Salah is still the best C option in the game. Absolutely no reason not to have both.

    A. Son + Werner -> KDB + Bamford - 4
    B. Son + Vardy -> KDB + Jesus - 4
    C. Son -> Mahrez
