Do we still need double City defence and is it time to sell Fernandes?

Currently sat at 694th in the world, Let’s Talk FPL’s Andy talks through some ideas for his own team and addresses some trending topics from within the Fantasy community.


Do we need double Man City defence still?

Cancelo finally delivers big haul as Gündogan shines in KDB's absence 17

This question is probably a lot easier to ask when you don’t own Rúben Dias (£6.1m), but as a John Stones (£5.2m) and João Cancelo (£6.2m) owner, I’m considering jumping off.

When I leapt on triple Manchester City back in Gameweek 18, I saw it as almost essential. Aymeric Laporte (£6.0m) wasn’t starting very regularly and they had lots of Double Gameweeks on the horizon (as well as a game in Blank Gameweek 18). Fast forward a bit and Gameweek 27 is their last double and Laporte has started eight of the last 12 games in all competitions. Even going into Double Gameweek 27, I’m not confident of two starts and at that point a defender from another team can potentially do just as good a job and be nailed.

Antonio Rüdiger (£4.6m) seems like a potential ideal replacement. He’s cheaper and since Gameweek 19 hasn’t missed a single minute for Chelsea. In terms of goal threat, there isn’t much to split them when looking at all Gameweeks since Rudiger won his spot back.

In that same time period, Chelsea have conceded 5.62 expected goals compared to Man City’s 6.70; both are elite defences.

There’s no real need to remove your defenders before Gameweek 27 but it’s something I’m thinking about in the long term, with a potential move for double Manchester City attack instead. Rüdiger seems like an ideal replacement, given the general points ceiling of the likes of Stones.

Free Hit could be better in Gameweek 33 than Gameweek 29

Originally I was looking at using Free Hit in Gameweek 29 but I think I’m pretty well set up for this already. Below shows the eight players that are playing in Gameweek 29.

As always, it’s quality instead of quantity and I think I have most boxes ticked (ignore the pun). With three transfers between now and Gameweek 29, I can cope with it quite easily.

With Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur blanking in Gameweek 33, I’m currently going to be left with five players without a game that take a big chunk of the budget. I could bench three but it would leave me with a lot of money outside of my starting XI.

As it stands, I wouldn’t be looking to sell these players as the fixtures either side of the blank from Gameweeks 31 to 35 are good for both teams:

Manchester City – Leeds (h), Aston Villa (a), Crystal Palace (a), Chelsea (h)

Spurs – Manchester United (h), Everton (a), Sheffield United (h), Leeds (a)

The Gameweek 33 fixtures have the potential for me to do something a little different with players from teams I might not have enough transfers to get to.

While I may or may not own Bruno Fernandes (£11.6m) by this point, I’d definitely want him in for Leeds along with another Manchester United attacker. I currently don’t own any Aston Villa midfielder or forward, and while their run-in isn’t great, they do have West Brom in this Gameweek. Liverpool against Newcastle also means a double or triple-up could be profitable.

Could we drop Bruno Fernandes?

What did FPL managers learn from FA Cup fourth round matches

It seems stupid to even be considering dropping the highest-scoring FPL player and I’m sure most people will just skip this part, but it’s something I’m considering.

The way Manchester United set up against the traditional top six is to nullify the opposition while neglecting their own attack. I wouldn’t be surprised to see another blank against Manchester City, just as there was against Chelsea.

That then leaves West Ham followed by a blank in Gameweek 29. There’s potential to do something more interesting with the Fernandes money.

After that, he could be brought back in on a Wildcard or via free transfers. I look at Manchester United’s remaining fixtures and wonder where I’m going to captain him. In every week, there’s arguably another option that could be considered instead. Below are Bruno’s best fixtures with an alternative in brackets.

  • Gameweek 30 v Brighton (Kane v Newcastle)
  • Gameweek 32 v Burnley (Salah v Leeds)
  • Gameweek 33 v Leeds (Salah v Newcastle, although for me Fernandes would be Free Hit in most likely)
  • Gameweek 35 v Aston Villa (Kane v Leeds)
  • Gameweek 37 v Fulham (Kane v Villa)

Not captaining a heavy hitter doesn’t mean you have to sell them but if you’re trying to fit in a certain number of premium players, especially due to captaincy, then something may have to give.

Let me caveat all of the above by saying there’s good reason to keep Bruno Fernandes. Looking at xG per 90 minutes in the Premium Members Area, he is sat top of all midfielders who are playing regularly. That’s equal with Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) and just above Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m).

It would be a brave call to remove him but if you thought that De Bruyne could start realising his underlying statistics, and that Salah could get back to the form that saw him hit almost essential status earlier in the season, then perhaps backing them over Fernandes for captaincy could be a calculated risk-type move of beating the template.

Mohamed Salah is potentially worth keeping

It seems as though people are starting to get a bit frustrated with Salah. I’ve seen lots of comments talking about selling him, and definitely if there was a choice between him and Fernandes, then I know which one people would look to keep.

However, when you look a bit closer at the recent numbers, they’re quite promising. Yes, he’s blanked nine times in the last 12 games. But for those people that like to put emphasis on “form”, he’s also scored four goals in the last six. I am, admittedly, expecting a blank against Chelsea in the second game of the double.

His underlying statistics are promising too. Looking at players’ last six matches, he ranks second for expected goal involvement behind the hero that is Michail Antonio (£6.5m), and by the way, Raphinha (£5.4m)!

We need to see how Liverpool continue to perform without Jordan Henderson (£5.4m), but it’s promising that their full-backs are looking good on the eye again. In fact, Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.4m) has the highest expected goal involvement (2.03) over the last six matches and is getting forward a good bit with eight shots over that same time period.

Thinking ahead, Liverpool have a great run-in and it might be worth saving a transfer and keeping Salah for the longer term.

Selling any big hitter always feels risky and I wouldn’t want to put anyone off doing it, but with Fulham and Wolves to come, there might be better ways to spend your transfers while giving Salah time to pull through on his underlying numbers.

              Would that be a black card?

    3. TeddiPonza

      Currently have those playing in gw 29:

      Martinez
      Coufal
      Raphinha
      Kane Antonio

      Could bring in Son, Burn and Bamford using my transfers and field 8 (maybe extra hit to field 9)

      Would you use FH in 29 or in 33? (Have 3 city as it stands)

      Thanks.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 24 days ago

          I'm not trying to be an ass here but it's up to you to decide whether free hitting will net you the points to make it a success, in terms of when to play it again think to yourself if I play it this week I can get X amount of points extra, if I play it this week I get X amount extra

          Weigh it up like that depending on your team, likely transfers made etc

      2. Boom XhakaLacaSaka

        • 7 Years

        Just remembered I bought Bruno at 10.5M. Bringing him in after gw30 would be a headache.

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          will have to pay only 0.4-0.5 extra

          1. Holmes
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            you can also avoid him

          2. El Presidente
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            "only"?

            1. Holmes
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              yeah

        2. Chandler Bing
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Who are you removing him for?

          1. Botman and Robben
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            Thinking of KDB. Maybe

        3. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Name a time in the last 10 gameweeks or more that you felt you needed 3 premiums!

          Beside Bruno the best are Mo and Kane and they are just ticking over right now - debatable value. They have two double digits between them since Christmas - until today I suppose 🙂

          Right now team value is a complete irrelevance and has been for ages

          1. Botman and Robben
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            This is true.

      5. Quan MisTaka
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Either of these look good? Planning for 29

        A) Barnes + DCL to Son + Antonio (-4)
        B) Barnes + Pereira to Son + 5.2 def (-4) (Have Dias)
        C) BArnes to Lingard
        D) Save FT, play DCL and reasses next gw

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Need a 4.5m or less defender who plays GW29.

        Don’t fancy the Fulham boys so currently on Dawson or Ayling. Who would you choose or am I missing anyone better??

        1. Chandler Bing
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          I'd look at Burn tbh

            Thx mate. I already have Sanchez so trying to avoid the Brighton double up.

        2. Lemongrab

            Cheers mate. Got Sanchez so trying to avoid the double up!

        3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          i am thinking of getting Lewis. Has the best next three amongst all defenders who play 29.

          1. Andy Mac
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            Have considered Newcastle tbf. Good fixtures and likely to park the bus with no attack now...cheers!

            1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              It's amazing how teams like Newcastle start performing defensively once they are relegation threatened.

              1. Andy Mac
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 24 days ago

                Very true! I think we will start to see a few more upsets from the relegation teams now going forward too as they battle it out!

        4. jb1985
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          I am looking at Dawson too, threat at set pieces and better possibility at a clean sheet.

          1. Andy Mac
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years

            Yeah, despite Leeds attacking threat I think I’m favouring Dawson over Ayling right now too...cheers mate!

          I am also thinking to sell Bruno.Is it worth to sell him for a differential or only for a big name?I don't have Son so for me the move is more easier now.Except gw27,is Son a better pick than Bruno?In gw28 Bruno has Wham at home and Son Arsenal away.Tough games imo for both of them against two improved defences.In gw30 Bruno has Brighton at home and New away.Easier games for both of them.As we've seen in the past though it's difficult for Tot to score against tight defences especially away from home.Finally in gw31 is Tot-ManUtd where 0-0 is the famous result.

            Who gets more points:

            A) Burn vs Leicester, Southampton, Newcastle
            B) Lewis vs West Brom, Villa, Brighton

              Burn

                3 years, 24 days ago

                Going by your post below, I am tempted to pick Lewis!

            2. ZAMUNDA
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              Lewis

            Just realised I haven't had a single return (that's benefitted my team) since Dias goal about 20 mins into the gameweek. Unless triple captain 2 Bruno clean sheets counts as a return...

            Martinez CS against Leeds meant my triple Leeds all blanked
            Kane goal damaging as I didn't captain

          12. CRAZY TRAIN
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            Would stand to loose 1.1 value in Bruno if I transferred him out - a big call

              isn't just .5 m ? (which is still a lot).

                I was thinking more about buy back but yes I suppose it is 0.5.

              *lose
              You would not lose that amount. That’s not how it works.

            Another 10 pointer from johnstone and a kane haul very much needed to end this bad run of red arrows

            best cheap brighton defender?

              Burn your money.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years

              All rubbish but White if you have to. Nailed.

            3. Tomsk
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              Probably Burn with March out for season.

            4. ZAMUNDA
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              Burn/White

              1. Rupert The Horse
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                3 years, 24 days ago

                A bit harsh.

                1. ZAMUNDA
                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 24 days ago

                  It is what it is

              • 9 Years

              I will spend a bit extra to get Dunk.

            • 8 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            Which one?

            A) Cancelo + Watkins (Bench Bruno)
            B) Reguilon + KDB (-4) (Sell Bruno)

            1. Forever In Our Shadow
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              B.

          17. Forever In Our Shadow
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            Can’t help chuckling every time I see Andy’s pro pundit picture. The emblem on his shirt looks like he has dropped some ketchup from a bacon sarnie down him.

            Who to bring in for next three?

            A) uba
            B) ale

            1. Forever In Our Shadow
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              B for me. Neither can be 100% trusted though.

            Any West Ham fans, or otherwise, know if Johnson likely to keep getting picked?

          20. Captain_Shirokov
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            Literally no clue who to replace Barnes with ...

            1. Flair
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              JLingz

              1. Captain_Shirokov
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 24 days ago

                Really? *Gets sick*

            2. Forever In Our Shadow
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              All options depend on whether you have a FH or not.

              1. Captain_Shirokov
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 24 days ago

                Do not

                1. Forever In Our Shadow
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 10 Years
                  3 years, 24 days ago

                  Then it has to be someone like Raphinha. Lingard. Bowen. Saka. Soucek. Grealish (if fit and funds allow).

            3. ZAMUNDA
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              What's you midfield?

              1. ZAMUNDA
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 24 days ago

                Get GW29 coverage in case you don't have FH

              2. Captain_Shirokov
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 24 days ago

                Bruno, Son, Barnes, Gundogan, raphinha

                1. nolard
                  • 9 Years
                  3 years, 24 days ago

                  Lingard, Saka, Auba, Jota

                  1. Captain_Shirokov
                    • 5 Years
                    3 years, 24 days ago

                    Would love to see Jota start later

                    1. nolard
                      • 9 Years
                      3 years, 24 days ago

                      Bit early I think, but might get 20 min, dependent on how the game rolls.

                2. ZAMUNDA
                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 24 days ago

                  You've got Saka or Grealish (when fit)

            4. dunas_dog
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              Saka

          21. quayle99
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            For GW29

            Tierney or Reguillon

            Auba or Bale (will probably be for one week then back to Fernandes)

            Lingard or Saka

            1. DannyDrinkVodka
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              How do we know that Reguillon is nailed? That's my only concern

            2. Cruyff's Eleven
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              Same goes for Bale and Auba.....

          22. nolard
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            Differential percentage, how many players would you have in your first 11?

            4 or 5?

            1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              How do you define a differential? 70% or below around the rank that you are at?

            2. nolard
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              I don't know - point was more how many slots in your team you would assign to such players.

          23. DannyDrinkVodka
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            Accumulating players for GW29 and bench boosting in GW27....

            A) Mee>Dunk (-4)
            B) Mee>Lewis, Shaw>Reguillon (-8)

            1. Cruyff's Eleven
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              Technically only - 2 / - 4 if you have no other players...

            2. Big Hands Barry
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              I would be wary about taking hits for defenders just for one week. If Mee was getting garunteed 4 points in 29 would you sell him? Defenders can easy get a 0 pointer, even Pereira this week was tipped for greatness and he got 1 point in each good fixture

          24. The Train Driver
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            With many options and possible dgw28, it feels like many are missing out on Brighton players who arguably have the easiest game.

            Will you have any, if so, whom?

            1. Forever In Our Shadow
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              None for me.

            2. Cruyff's Eleven
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              Dunk, maybe at a stretch Trossard

            3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              I think leading up to 29, Newcastle has the easiest games.

            4. Flair
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              Would love to have Lamptey again

          25. Captain_Shirokov
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            I think I'd rather 30ish minutes from Jota in GW27 than 90 for Saka/Lingard.

          26. quayle99
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            Why is everyone talking Dunk? Chance of a clean sheet in 29 but dreadful fixtures after

            1. Cruyff's Eleven
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              WC in 30

            2. Pukki Blinders
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              Ever heard of a wc?

          27. Gharvey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            I’m a “glass half empty” kind of guy. No goals and a missed penalty for my triple captain Kane tonight.

            1. sunzip14
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 24 days ago

              That's 'glass full empty' kind of a thought though!
