Five-time top 1k FPL finisher Tom Freeman’s Gameweek 13 plans

Gameweek 12 has drawn to a close, and all in all, it was a pretty good one for me.

A total of 75 points has seen my overall rank rise to 57,377, and though it’s early days, it’s been a positive start.

Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) led the way with 16 captain points but there were also returns for Ben Foster (£4.1m), Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.8m), Antonio Rudiger (£5.9m), Joao Cancelo (£6.6m) and Adam Armstrong (£6.0m), who has started to pick up some form in recent weeks.

Now, as focus shifts to Gameweek 13, I thought I’d write-up some observations from Steven Gerrard’s first match in charge of Aston Villa, plus my own transfer/team plans for the weekend.

VILLA UNDER GERRARD – FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Steven Gerrard got off to a winning start at Aston Villa on Saturday, with a 2-0 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion. Lining up in a 4-3-3 formation, Gerrard’s preferred shape during his time at Rangers, Villa were much improved, especially at the back. As a result, they limited Graham Potter’s side to just 0.52 expected goals (xG) – their second lowest xG total of the season so far – with 0.28 of that figure arriving from one Tariq Lamptey (£4.4m) attempt during the first-half.

While Albion had a lot of the ball with 63% possession, they rarely looked like scoring, something Gerrard touched on after the game:

“Brighton had a lot of possession, but it was in the areas we wanted them to have the ball, so I’m really pleased for the players, proud of them, but it’s only a start, we need to go and back it up now.”

Ollie Watkins (£7.3m) and Tyrone Mings (£4.9m) got the goals on the day, but which players could benefit most from Gerrard’s appointment in Fantasy Premier League (FPL)?

    Assume playing livra v liv not great idea?also assume Omo as lost place at Norwich?

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, not sure.

        Thanks

        Livra will be last on my bench this GW.
        Too early to say re Omo as the new manager might have ideas forming on the training ground.

        1. Stranger Mings

          Thanks just looking at alternatives to play from my bench for chilwell

    As a Chilwell owner, I want to point out that we won't get info on his injury for quite a few hours. There are 2 days more midweek fixtures. It is a totally pointless question asking about replacements for Chilwell right now. It's all hot air. I know few will be patient, thus I should restrain myself and not log back in until Friday by which time there might be some actual info and sensible discussions.

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I’m glad I can absorb a 0.1 price drop for him too so I have nothing to rush about.

      Should make for an interesting couple of weeks if he misses though.

    2. The Knights Template

      Chilwell to Ait Nouri?

      1. jackruet

    Sanchez

    TAA Cancelo Rudiger

    Salah Son Raph Gallagher

    Vardy Antonio Hwang

    Steele White Livra Allan

    1. Botman and Robben

      Will Raph be ok by weekend?

      1. C_G
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        if he isnt ill have White coming in, not too bad

    2. C_G

      oops no Antonio, Toney

  4. jai1212
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Hey lads, premium defense hurting me this week but we go again. Any changes suggested?

    Ramsdale (Foster)
    TAA James Dias
    Salah Jota Raphinha* Saka Mbuemo
    Kane Antonio*

    Subs: Duffy* Livramento Davis
    1FT and 1.3 itb

    Any suggestions?

    1. Miniboss
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      What does the asterisk refer to?

      I think Dias-> Cancelo or Mbeumo-> Gallagher should be priority at the moment. But only after mid-week games are over.

    2. Fitzy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Dias over Cancelo is hurting you, I'd be addressing that.

  5. C_G
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    took a -4 this sunday and made these rage transfers w/o consulting anyone:

    Antonio + Benrahma + Williams ---> Hwang + Gallagher + Cancelo

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Love it. Sometimes it just feels right - hope it works out for ya!

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I did the same and brought in Chilwell so dare I say I think your call was better than mine!

  6. Bleh
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Question:
    If my purchase price (PP) for a player is 5.7 and his current price (CP) falls to 5.9, what would be my selling price (SP)?

    5.8 or 5.7?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      5.8

    2. Fitzy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      5.8

    3. Bleh
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks all, just checking if I have time to absorb Chily’s potential drop. Think a switch to James is likely though.

  7. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Classic fpl. Activated wc to jump on Chelsea wingbacks and getting in Spurs.

    Chilwell injured and no signs of form from Son or Kane.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      But you can get Pukki so not all lost. Focus on the positives.

  8. Randaxus
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    How much do you guys think Conor Gallagher is worth on the transfer market, I think he is worth £70M.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      34m

      1. Randaxus
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        That is so low it is comical, either you don't have eyes or you are trolling me.

        1. The Knights Template
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          I like to be topical and comical at the same time. 70m is way too much. Maybe we can meet in the middle at 38m?

          1. Randaxus
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            I will agree to 50M and no lower 😀

            1. The Knights Template
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              Done.

    2. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      What someone is willing to pay for him.

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

      Around 50-60

      1. Randaxus
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        I get it but I don't that he is that much worse than Grealish and he is worth £100M but I do think that Grealish was overpriced.

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          100m was his release clause. No way he's Really worth that much.

          Lucky Villains

    4. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Nights template by far closer than you in this estimate. 10 good games, pronisung talent andcenglish means around 30-40. If he sustains the form over 1 or 2 season he is 50+++

    5. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      40 million realistically.

    Antonio to...?

    a. Jim
    b. Watkins
    c. Wilson

          Jimmy out out out!

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            He’s been good for me but I’m eyeing a Wilson/King rotation to beef up to 442

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

      I am holding him, but I am going to bench him against Man City.

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Part of me wants to punt on Watkins. Even with their run.

      Think they’ll improve a lot under Gerrard

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years

        Will be high on my radar in GW17

    Early days but
    A. Chilwell to Regs
    B. Save FT and play Antonio (mci)

  12. Kosan11
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Ramsdale
    Chilwell* I TAA | James | Cancelo
    Salah | Foden I ESR | Son
    Jimenez | Wilson

    Foster | Normann I Armstrong | Livra

    I won't rush to sell Chilwell yet, but whom would you play?

    1. Normann (Wolves)
    2. Armstrong (Lpool)
    3. Livra (Lpool)

    I think Livra is out of the question. But let's see.

    Also 1 FT, 0.7 ITB, and I would like to save ft

  13. jackruet

    Sanchez
    Trent rudiger cancelo James
    Salah ESR jota* raphinha *
    Jimenez vardy

    1 Ft, 0.6 itb. What to do?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years

      Save but remain alert

  14. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    What would be your move(s) here this week if Chilwell is confirmed out for more than 2 GW's?
    Have my WC left which is a consideration for these moves.
    1. Benrahma/Antonio-> Jota/ King (or Dennis). -4. Jota focus which was my planned direction before the Chilwell news.
    2. Chilwell-> James/Reguilon. No hit. Replacing Chilwell focus and carry the West Ham guys another week at least.
    3. Focus on Jota + James. - 8. Chilwell/Benrahma/Anto + James/Jota/King.

    Sanchez.
    TAA, Chilwell, Cancelo, Rudiger.
    Salah, Raphinha, Gallagher.
    Vardy, Jimenez, Antonio.
    Bachmann, Bissouma, Benrahma, Livramento.
    1ft, 0.4m ITB. WC still available.

    1. Fitzy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Chilwell to James

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      2 James

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      2

  15. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Why do I get a feeling that Antonio will score this gw?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Hope so I am playing him

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

      Maybe, forced to use FT on injured players?

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Plan to roll, unless Jota does not make it.

  16. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    If Chilwell tore his ACL then expect months out. If not then at least 3 weeks+.

    Chilwell to Alonso for -4 ?

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'd give it a week before moving to Alonso simply because you want to be sure that it is in fact Alonso preferred for Chilwells replacement and not Azpi. If Azpi starts against UTD, that wont mean Alonso won't start anymore, but it will mean that Alonso will be rotated more often than not.

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Since when has Azpi ever played as a LWB?

        1. Chaldaea
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Azpi played LB when he first started at Chelsea as he couldn't displace Ivanovich at RB. But hasn't needed to play there since he left.

      2. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        tbh can't see Azpi starting in the LWB, I think a left foot player is crucial to the way Tuchel plays in the LWB position. Unless Alonso has an issue then he starts, it's only that if he is worth an inclusion on a hit.

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Wait for news but yes no brainer

    3. Carefree Crew
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Azpi at LWB!!! Ha! Ha! Ha!

      I've just replied on previous page to Torres Magic who wrote the same nonsense.

      The significance of Mourinho playing him at LB in a 4 back in 2015 has no relevance at all or whatsoever on Tuchels Chelsea in a back 3 in 2021.

      Different managers, different squads, different formations, different systems.

      Was Azpi playing LWB at the start of the season when Chilly was on the bench? No.

      Was Azpi playing LWB last season under Tuchel? No.

      Has Azpi ever started at LWB under Tuchel? No.

      Tuchel post match interview confirmed he planned Azpi for James, then Chilly got injured, so he decided to play Azpi on the left because he wanted his experience on the pitch to see out the game.

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        I think you’ll find he was already stripped off ready to go on, most likely replace James.

    4. Carefree Crew
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I think you'll find... You haven't read my post properly for your convenience I've copied the final paragraph below.

      "Tuchel post match interview confirmed he planned Azpi for James, then Chilly got injured, so he decided to play Azpi on the left because he wanted his experience on the pitch to see out the game."

  17. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Wishing Chilwell a quick recovery there. Not fun to see

    In FPL, I'm now "forced" to play Hwang vs Norwich:

    Guaita
    TAA Cancelo (VeeCe)James
    (C)Salah Son Foden Gallagher
    Jesus Benteke Hwang

    McCarthy Brownhill Livra Chilwell

    Going Chilwell to Alonso for GW14, then. The rest of the plan is still ticking along: just means I'll keep Livra until he becomes Johnson for GW18, which isn't a bad thing by any stretch

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Johnson nailed then?

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        For now, yes. Freaky

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Is he? I don't think he's anywhere close to nailed and wouldn't be surprised if coufal is back this week

            1. Ze_Austin
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              It's a GW18 transfer

              1. Ze_Austin
                • 5 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                HIs status will be crystal clear by then. If not him, I can get one of many other defenders for < 4.4m at that time

    2. Ibralicious
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Best use of 2 FT here?

      A) Chilwell + Raphinha -> Reguilón + Jota
      B) Chilwell + Gray -> Reguilón + Gallagher (tentatively leaving 0.6 itb for Rüdiger -> James next week)

      Cheers!

      1. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        B looks Best

      2. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        B

      3. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        As tempting as Jota is I think Gray is more of an issue than Raph

      4. @persecuted_by_mods
          2 years, 4 months ago

          B

        • Ibralicious
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Cheers all, looks like B is overwhelmingly the favorite

      5. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        For the next 3 weeks only… (before WC)

        A. Rudiger -> Alonso
        B. White -> Reguilon

        Rudiger is my only Chelsea defender. Don’t want James because he’s due a rest v Watford imo

        1. jackruet
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Get James. Even if he is benched, its good to have him. He will rise more

          1. Jafalad
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            + billions. Madness to go without James.

          2. Pukki Blinders
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Feels very sideways to take Rudiger out though. More nailed than James for the next 3. Reggie has great fixtures

            1. waldo666
              • 13 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              I did Rudiger to James last week so am 2 points down as it stands but I'm still happy with the transfer.

        2. Farteta
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          B. I think Reguilon could be a good punt

      6. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Apologies for breaking Chilwell all, I've been cursed with the Chelsea wingbacks this season.

        GW4 WC - Bring in Chilwell with Tuchel saying before the IB that he's ready to play; doesn't play
        GW5 - move to James, doesn't play
        GW6 - plays v City and gets injured within 30 mins and doesn't return properly until GW9
        GW7 - Chilwell returns to starting XI after I move James to Rudiger and say I'm done with Chelsea wingbacks
        GW13 - I make my first rage early transfer of the season to bring in Chilwell, who gets injured

        James owners watch out next week o_o

        1. Ze_Austin

            Have followed 95% of that myself

            With the added switch rudiger to chilwell hurt too

              That's rough, seems like a sensible move too

            So you're telling me only Chalobah is safe 😀

            So brutal! Similar experience except I think I took a hit to get Chilly in somewhere in there

            Rank? Can't be all bad luck. 😕

              Just inside 400k currently, was just outside 250k last week but benching Rudiger this week added to my woes (although I'm not complaining about that, that was all on me)

          • The Train Driver
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            That's me, but worse, put Alonso into that mix instead of Rudiger.

          Assuming Chilwell injured, best replacement?

          A) Dias
          B) Alonso
          C) Rudiger

          1. Jafalad
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Alonso...if he starts. If not, Rudi.

          2. Pops15
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            I would punt on Alonso out of those 3. Even though Rudi scored I wouldn't think his attacking returns will be consistent.

            I just dont like to spend 6m on a defender with little attacking threat.

            Thought about Reguilon?

          3. lilmessipran
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Rudiger for being nailed on and good attacking threat

        4. Pops15
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          If Chilwell is confirmed out

          1) Chilwell + Raph ===> Regi + Jota (-4)

          2) Chilwell ===> James

          With number 1 I would delay the move for James until GW15 and make a double move to upgrade Duffy to James

            2

        5. Mozumbus
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          A. Azpi to Cancelo
          B. Semedo to Cancelo
          Have Rudiger and no city cover

          1. Pops15
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            A. Semedo has two juicy fixtures coming up

            1. Mozumbus
              • 2 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              Thanks. Makes sense.
              What are the chances Azpi will start?

              1. Pops15
                • 7 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                High chance. Could see him cover for the LWB role if Chilwell is confirmed out, as well as his usual RCB role since he was rested mid week

                1. Mozumbus
                  • 2 Years
                  2 years, 4 months ago

                  Thanks again. Azpi was benched yes, but came in for Chilwell.
                  For Azpi to Cancelo move, I want to minimize the risk of Cancelo and Rudiger getting benched, and Azpi plays.

          2. Carefree Crew
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            A.
            I think Azpi starting is a risk. James form makes him first choice at RWB.
            As for RCH, Tuchel played James there last season versus Vardy for pace. We have Chalobah & Christensen who are both quicker than Azpi. Man U players aren't slow, so this may come into his thinking.

            As for LWB, he's never started there under Tuchel & Alonso played well early this season.

            It's Tuchel so predicting the line up is nearly impossible, but I'd be tempted to sell Azpi, too expensive for rotation risk & low ceiling on attacking returns. Cancelo is a great upgrade.

            1. Mozumbus
              • 2 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              Thanks. This is great insight and very helpful.

            You're welcome Mozumbus. Very polite of you to say.

            Good luck mate. 🙂

          0.2m short of doing chilwell > James. Worth it to take a hit or wait another week and do it for free?

          1. Pops15
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            wait

          2. Pompel
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Wait, or get Reguilon for a stop gap solution
            Same problem, 0.1 short after James price hike. Very irritating

            1. SpaceCadet
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              Only downgrade I can think of is Kane > Vardy to fund the move. Worth it?

          3. Gunners in Haaland
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            I'm 0.1 short and considering to take the hit

            1. Pompel
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              I see many are expecting James to be rested for Watford, so maybe better to wait and avoid the hit ?

              1. SpaceCadet
                • 10 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                That’s probably the sensible option. But the wrong decision here could easily cost 20 points over two games the way he’s going.

                1. Pompel
                  • 10 Years
                  2 years, 4 months ago

                  I think I'll get Reguilon, or Alonso even for a few games in the hope that they can match him - with the assumption that James will be rested against Watford. But fully expect James to get attacking returns against United this weekend.
                  If Raphina is also out, I might do a double swap for a hit

          4. Carefree Crew
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Depends on your sub who would play instead & also your planned downgrade to raise the funds. (Livramento away to Liverpool obviously isn't likely to return, so you could make the 4 points back in one week & have an available free transfer next week.)

            It's likely Chilwell will drop & James rise in price by next week, so it could be another £0.2m to find. Guessing Chilwell to James will be a very popular transfer. People were already looking at getting James in before Chilly got injured.

            I'd be tempted to do it after the presser confirming how long he's out for. You could have other fires to fight next week & regret not making the move this week.

            Disclaimer: I'm less hit adverse than some managers on here.

            1. SpaceCadet
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              That’s the problem. My subs are Antonio, Omo and Scarlett. Antonio comes in for chilwell but need raph to be fit else I’ll just have ten players in the gw. Guess will take a call closer to time depending on Raphs fitness.

          Is Jota (if fit) in for Raphinha worth it the next 3 GW?

        8. DAZZ
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Chilwell > Alonso being too clever? If i only own Chilwell, then Chilwell > James is priority? I imagine Alonso is the move for the James Chilwell double ups.

          1. Carefree Crew
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            No, not too clever. It's the obvious move if you already own James.

            Agree James would be the priority over Alonso. Form, ceiling, not having to reverse the transfer when Chilly is back fit.

          Hi all,

          I had planned on Bruno to Son for a few weeks now and was finally going to do it, but he looked terrible last GW and it seems the same old Totenham.
          I have no other United cover which is fine for a few weeks.

          Any other stand outs?

          Double up with Mane?

          1. Nedvěd11
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Hit the bar...
            Terrible in what sense?
            All Spurs players look terrible, but slowly improving to Contes style of play.

            Spurs fan

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                2 years, 4 months ago

                Deflected onto the bar from a poor cross...

                But I agree, they're improving and definitely not same old

            2. Carefree Crew
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              I'm not convinced on Son / Spurs.

              Jota price makes him better value than Mane IMHO.

              Circa £4mil difference can be used to upgrade elsewhere.

            A) White/Foden to Cancelo/Gallagher worth -4?

            B) Rudiger to Cancelo for free?

              Wait for Chilwell news before B. If it's a serious injury B

          4. bench boost for every gamew…
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Damn. Chilwell injured and then Williams down to 3.9. Ugh. And 0.4 itb so that plan must now be revised. White with his lovely Christmas fixtures was coming in, a perfect player to have in that period, nailed and good cs probability. Hm. Croosroad times indeed and now soon a baby born too, seems like i have to just whistle to the Bing Crosby song then all though the holy times without my Ben.
