Three-time top 200 finisher Lateriser: The key FPL stats ahead of Gameweek 33

The reigning FPL champion of India, Lateriser, takes a deep dive into the player and team statistics available to Fantasy Football Scout subscribers.


Before we move into the final stretch of the season, I think it’s a good idea to venture into the Premium Members Area and look at some relevant statistics.

I am writing this article midway through Gameweek 32 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) so have not taken the data from Wednesday or Thursday’s matches into consideration.

With that in mind, here’s a selection of stats I find important and relevant…

While making transfers this week, it is important to cast an eye on the potential doubles for teams in Gameweek 35. If your team is in place for Blank Gameweek 33, it might be worth saving a transfer.

If you prefer not to save one, it looks likely that Manchester United and Leicester City will have a decent-looking Double Gameweek 35 and could potentially blank in Gameweek 36. I mention these two teams because they have a good run until the end of the season, as well.

Arsenal could also have a decent-looking Double Gameweek but I worry about their motivation on the domestic front, assuming that their primary focus is going to be the Europa League. It is all speculation at this stage, but it is always worth casting an eye on the future while planning your moves.

That’s it from me for this week. I hope this article helped you and thank you for reading.

Yesterday was an important day in football and while writing this article this morning, I couldn’t help but smile. Good luck this Gameweek!

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

      I actually have him as captain atm. Crazy times!

      +1

    4. Flair
      • 3 Years

      Salah

  3. DannyDrinkVodka

    I really need another outfield player for GW33 as Vydra and Rudiger are both rotation threats:

    A) Stones>Dallas
    B) Kane>Vardy

    1. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Don't think Rudi is

    2. Old Gregg
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      a)
      Until further info on Kane

    3. Lukakuna
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Do you think Vydra is back on the bench now, rather than just getting a rest at the weekend?

  4. McSauce
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I have Vardy;

    A) Iheanacho
    B) Cavani

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      A

    2. Old Gregg
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      a)

    3. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      A

    4. just a man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Cavani's rest time would worry me, given he's actively asking to be benched. Plus likely to be involved in both EL games again Roma.

    5. Flair
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      A, his nailedness alone puts him ahead of Cavani.

    Hello,

    Martinez
    Alonso-Burn-shaw-Rudiger
    Bruno-Mount-Jota-Lingz
    Bam-Iheanacho

    Son-Kane-Stones

    Which move would you recommend please?

    a) son > Salah
    b) son > Greenwood
    c) Alonso > Taa
    d) Alonso + Son > Taa + Greenwood (-4)
    e) Mount + Son > Salah + Greenwood (-4)

    1. Konstaapeli

    Lateriser, do you really think that Wolves defender is needed?

    1. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Nope.

  7. Tinmen
    • 10 Years

    Folks. Who’s better?

    Jota
    Greenwood

    1. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I fancy Greenwood as more of a differential.

    2. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Jota

    3. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Jota

    4. Brehmeren
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Greenwood

    5. Wee Jinky
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Jota

  8. Do I Not Like Orange

    Ryan Mason, dear me. Levy challenging early-Covid Boris Johnson for the record of most bad decisions in a week.

    1. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Lovely stuff

    2. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Firing Mou was a good decision. Super League not so much. Mason I know nothing about so can't say.

    Will mendy start the next few games for Chelsea ?
    Should i get rid especially as he has a blank, forster is on my bench.

    1. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Don’t need to dump him with a playing 2nd keeper unless u want to get extra funds. I’d save a transfer for outfield players personally unless funds is a problem

      1. southcoastbeast
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Is forster first choice thou ?

    2. Wee Jinky
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Swap Mendy for Schmeichel

  10. soup natsi

    How likely DCL to start next week?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 11 months ago

        This Friday, we'll see what ancelotti says but last week he said dcl should be okay for this game

      • Wee Jinky
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Limited time

    2. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Maddison worth a gamble or Greenwood a better bet? Looked at Greenwood this GW but wasn’t sure he would start every week so took son instead for the double.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          2 years, 11 months ago

          I'm going maddison over mason

          1. Flair
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Same here, should be gold over the next four - just need him to play 90 vs West Brom so I can be fully confident in his fitness.

        • Oh Mane Mane
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          See how Maddison looks tomorrow night first.

          1. Dreaming of glory
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Yea that’s the plan atm

        Enjoy folks. And congratulations to all football fans 🙂

        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Dias & Bamford > Trent & Vydra for a hit? Basically amounts to Trent for Bamford this week and Trent over Dias going forwards.

      4. JONALDINHO
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Sterling and Struijk to Trent and Greenwood(-4) gives me this. Thoughts?

        Martinez
        Trent • Azpi • Shaw • Struijk
        Salah(C) • Jota • Greenwood • Lingard
        Iheanacho • Bamford
        (3.9 / Kane / Son / White)

        1. JONALDINHO
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Selling Dawson instead of Struijk because him and White are banned next game

      5. jammie26
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Are villa still due a double?

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Yes Villa, Everton, Southampton and Palace,

          1. Pariße
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Also Chelsea and Leicester for the FA Cup final (they were supposed to play each other)

            1. Pariße
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              ...on GW 37 (May 15)

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Yup guaranteed one

          • Pariße
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Surely

        3. Lukakuna
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Are we likely to get any news on the Kane injury before the deadline on Friday?

          1. Wee Jinky
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Kane doesn't play GW33

        4. LikeItLoveIt
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Realistic best case scenario - how big of a point gap in a mini league can be made up from now till the end of the season?

          1. Oh Mane Mane
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            30 to 40 points i'd say,

          2. Lukakuna
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Realistic is not a fixed measure, so the more points you need to make up the less realistic it is. You're welcome 😉

            1. LikeItLoveIt
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              I must have missed the bit where i thanked you...

            • 11 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Depends on chips and how lucky or savvy your league leader is - prob the latter if they still lead at this point.

            I'd say 50-60 without chips (have done it a few times and have been at the receiving end too..) - maybe 80-100 if youi have extra chips and nail captaincies.

            1. LikeItLoveIt
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              ML leader has gone maverick all season and hit everything - it seems his luck is changing now but i fear too little too late

          4. Brehmeren
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Depends entirely on how different your teams are.

          5. pingissimus
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Closing a gap of 60 is realistic

            You need things to fall your way but it's doable. Have managed that in each of the last 2 season without playing optimally or having massive help from chips

        8. sirmorbach
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Friends, sorry to bother, but I really need some help here. Tough dilemmas:

          Mendy / Forster
          TAA / Dias* / Coufal / Rüdiger /  Holding
          Salah / Bruno / Son* / Gündogan* / Lingard
          Kane* / Wood /  Iheanacho

          A. Son out -> Greenwood/Maddison/Jota in (who?), hold one ft
          B. Son, Gündo out -> Two of Greenwood/Maddison/Jota in (who?)
          C. Son, Mendy out -> Greenwood/Maddison/Jota, Martínez/Schmeichel/Johnstone in
          D. Son, Kane out -> Greenwood/Jota, Vardy in

          Leaning towards B with Greenwood and Jota or C with Greenwood and Martínez..

            • 6 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Think it’s risky getting rid of Son considering Spurs have Sheffield United at home after their blank. Think he’ll be wanting to impress for the next Manager.

            1. sirmorbach
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              Thank you for sharing your thoughts, mate

              1. 1966
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 6 Years
                2 years, 11 months ago

                No problem, the risk could pay off for you tbf but Son has had a habit of punishing me for selling him. Obviously keep an eye on Chelsea press conference because if Mendy has lost his place, replacing him is priority and Martínez a good shout as a replacement.

        10. anish10
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Would you WC this team or take a -4, still got BB to use.

          Martinez Button
          Aina Cancelo Coufal Veltman Dallas
          Fernandes Salah Jota Son Lingard
          Kane Nancho Bamford

          Cancelo > TAA
          Son > Greenwood -4 good moves?

          1. Farteta
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            If you have BB to use, I would WC in order to get a 2nd playing keeper, switch out Cancelo (rotation risk), Kane (pending injury news) and get in TAA. Unsure about Fernandes given his form or late. Wouldn't swap Son now - he has SHU and will be playing under a new manager.

        11. Steiger
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Thinking Son to either Greenwood or just get Bruno..?
          If I get Bruno then I can't get Son back without a hit the following week.

          Need advice on what the best move to do is.

            Sticking with Mendy? I have same two keepers and am looking at likelihood of no playing keeper next week as Soton blank. Digne i owner for a while and got rid. Everton look very average. I am keeping an eye on Pereira tomorrow personally for Alonso

              Thanks . I'm more hopeful mendy starts regularly than alonso

              Pereira an option but he blanks in 36.... thanks
