TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT (FPL GAMEWEEK 7)

Leave a comment

This is a review of player recommendations you may not have considered for your FPL squad. Here are the Differential player recommendations for Gameweek 7.

Midfielder: Declan Rice (6.5 – 8.3%)

Three assists from six Premier League matches this season, all from corner kicks. Declan Rice’s presence as one of the free-kick takers is the main reason why Arsenal are so dangerous in set-piece situations.

Facing West Ham, who seem to still struggle in set-piece situations, will be a significant advantage for those who have Declan Rice in their squad.

Next opponents: West Ham, Fulham, Crystal Palace

Midfielder: Jaidon Anthony (5.7 – 5.4%)

With an xGI of 0.47 and an expected goals (xG) of 0.37, Anthony has scored four goals this season, failing to score only against Spurs and Liverpool. In the last match, Donnarumma was the victim of his goal, which prevented Manchester City from keeping a clean sheet.

Anthony is currently second only to Haaland in the top scorers list (8), with Semenyo and Thiago having the same number of goals as him.

Next opponents: Aston Villa, Leeds, Wolves

Midfielder: Ismaila Sarr (6.4 – 4.4%)

Despite missing Gameweeks 4 and 5, Sarr did not lose his sharpness upon returning last weekend against league leaders Liverpool.

With an xGI of 0.77 and an expected goals (xG) of 0.72, Sarr has scored in his last three matches and has netted three goals so far this season. He has only failed to score once, in a goalless draw against Chelsea.

Next opponents: Everton, Bournemouth, Arsenal

FWD: Jarrod Bowen (7.7 – 6.4%)

With three goals in his last four matches, Bowen has proven he is not done yet despite West Ham’s poor start to the season, which led to Graham Potter’s dismissal last week.

With 3 goals from just 0.8 xG, there is hope for the future, as West Ham’s new manager is skilled at playing quick counter-attacks that could maximise Bowen’s potential on the pitch.

Next opponents: Arsenal, Brentford, Leeds

TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT (FPL GAMEWEEK 6)

Leave a comment

This is a review of player recommendations you may not have considered for your FPL squad. Here are the Differential player recommendations for Gameweek 6.

Def : Michael Keane (4.5 – 0.6%)

As Tarkowski’s compatriot while Jarrad Branthwaite is injured, Keane has been impressive with 42 CBI (Clearances, Blocks, Interceptions) and 16 Recoveries in his last 5 matches.

What’s more intriguing is that, alongside Jake O’Brien, he has become the target man in Everton’s corner-kick strategy, giving him a high chance of scoring against West Ham, who are weak in corner-kick situations.

Next Opponents: West Ham, Crystal Palace, & Manchester City

Def : Udogie (4.4 – 0.5%)

Udogie’s return to the Spurs squad last week clearly provides new options for FPL managers looking to target Spurs’ defence.

Playing as a left-back and often overlapping, Udogie has a high chance of scoring goals and assists, as seen from his one on-target shot against Brighton last week.

Next Opponents: Wolves, Leeds, & Aston Villa

MID : Foden (8.0 – 4.0%)

After missing the start of the season due to injury, his ownership remains below 10%, with most managers opting for Reijnders in their squads. Foden is the standout player this week.

With his creativity and ability to find dangerous spaces in the opposition’s defence, Foden poses a serious threat in terms of goals and assists, especially when playing at the Etihad. He has contributed at least two goals and one assist this season across all competitions.

Next Opponents: Burnley, Brentford, & Everton.

FWD : Isidor (5.5 – 2.0%)

Slowly but surely, Isidor has earned the managers’ trust as a regular starter in Sunderland’s last two matches. With an Expected Goals (xG) of 0.39%, he has scored three goals in the league this season.

If you need an affordable striker for your team, Isidor is one of the best options I can recommend.

Next Opponents : Nottingham Forest, M.United, & Wolves

Here are the different player recommendations for Gameweek 6.

TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT (FPL GAMEWEEK 5)

Leave a comment

 

This is a review of players you may not have considered for your FPL squad. Here are our recommendations for standout players in Gameweek 5.

GK: Robin Roefs (4.5 – 1.9%)

It’s no surprise that his name tops this list. With 27 points, he’s just 2 points behind Vicario at the top of the goalkeeper standings so far this season.

With a high expected goals conceded (xGC) of 1.13, Roefs has only conceded 3 goals against Burnley in Gameweek 2 and Brentford in Gameweek 3. He has also made 13 saves in his first 4 Premier League matches. Not only that, Roefs has also earned 2 clean sheets and made 1 penalty save.

Next opponents: Aston Villa, N. Forrest, & MU.

DEF: Tyrone Mings (4.5 – 1.4%)

Villa may be a team struggling to score goals, but they have been impressive at the back. They have recorded 2 clean sheets in their first 4 GW.

Mings is an intriguing player with an expected goals conceded (xGC) of 1.85, having secured 1 defensive point and a clean sheet against Everton.

Next 3 GW: Sunderland, Fulham, Burnley.

MID: Lucas Bergvall (5.4 – 0.3%)

Although not always the first choice, he has gradually become reliable for Thomas Frank in the last two Spurs matches.

Against West Ham and Villarreal, Bergvall was the main protagonist with 1 goal & 1 assist + 1 own goal caused by Luiz Junior against Villarreal.

This is a positive note considering Thomas Frank is still searching for the ideal composition of the current Spurs squad.

Next opponents: Brighton, Wolves, Leeds.

FWD: Nick Woltemade (7.0 – 2.7%)

This tall figure might be a good fit for Newcastle, considering how Newcastle has Jacob Murphy, who since the start of last season has only been surpassed by Mohamed Salah (19) in terms of total crosses (12) from open play situations.

With good positioning, his solitary goal against Wolves seemed like an epic welcome message for FPL managers.

Next opponents: Bournemouth, Arsenal, Nottingham Forest.

There you have it the standout player recommendations for Gameweek 5.

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Omar MarmoushSGE@KSV11MA bit of a hot take but the numbers don't lie. Scores of 250+ in his last three games, plays against the worst defence in the league and could benefit from the absence of Ekitike.
2Harry KaneFCBvs B0420MLeipzig have a better fixture no doubt but given Kane's form, Openda's inconsistency and Leverkusen's inability to plug their leaky defence which conceded three against Wolfsburg at home last week, I still prefer Kane over Openda.
3Lois OpendaRBLvs FCA15M
4Marvin DuckschSVW@TSG10M
5Serhou GuirassyBVBvs BOC19M
6Deniz UndavVFB@WOB13MItching to rank him higher because he has scored in his last three games for Stuttgart and I won't be surprised if he scores again but the others just have better fixtures on paper.
7Benjamin ŠeškoRBLvs FCA14M
8Ermedin DemirovicVFB@WOB12M
9Victor BonifaceB04@FCB18MFaces Bayern away but I wouldn't count him out. I feel confident about this being a scoring fixture for both sides.
10Tim KleindienstBMGvs FCU12MThe Union Berlin defence is good but if a Borussia player has to score, it has to be Kleindienst because the others are toothless and have had no impact so far.



Midfielders

 

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Xavi SimonsRBLvs FCA17MFun fact: Leipzig have scored at least two goals in 11 of their last 12 games across all competitions against Augsburg.

A good sign for Simons but it still feels like a tossup for who will do better this week..
2Vincenzo GrifoSCFvs STP15MExcept for the Bayern game, Grifo has been on a tear so solely based on form alone he is much better than Simons but the fact that St. Pauli have only conceded six goals still worries me a bit.
3Florian WirtzB04@FCB20MIf I had to select one Leverkusen player only this week, I would have Wirtz over anyone else.
4Jamal MusialaFCBvs B0420M
5Pascal GroßBVBvs BOC11MJust a hunch that BVB will bounce back strongly against Bochum after getting thrashed 5-1 by Stuttgart.
6Kevin StögerBMGvs FCU15M
7Julian BrandtBVBvs BOC14M
8Ritsu DoanSCFvs STP10MGiving good competition to Wanner for the best midfielder 10M or under. Averaging 200+ points this season and might be worth a double up with games against St. Pauli, Werder Bremen and Augsburg next.
9Paul WannerFCH@M058M
10Farès ChaïbiSGE@KSV10MIf you are looking for another Frankfurt attacker, I would take a look at Chaïbi but not sure he is still worth a punt.

Defenders

 

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Mitchell WeiserSVW@TSG13MHoffenheim is like an injured animal waiting for a final blow. They are missing five players from the starting XI including Kramaric so they have no reliable playmaker to help them score and with an already struggling defence that has conceded the most goals (11) after only Kiel (13), it might turn ugly.
2Lukas KüblerSCFvs STP7MSt. Pauli have only scored one goal so far so I think Kübler could be an interesting differential star for those who dare.
3Nico SchlotterbeckBVBvs BOC14MI might be the only person crazy enough to still think so highly of Schlotterbeck. I will admit that it is hard to judge him as he had 350+ in his first game, got sent off in the second so missed the third and conceded five goals in the last one so did terrible but I am still optimistic.
4Álex GrimaldoB04@FCB20MStill wondering whether I should sell him for a week to invest the money elsewhere but I don't think it has ever worked out for anyone before.
5Waldemar AntonBVBvs BOC12MIf you haven't got it yet, I am very high on Bochum not scoring this week.
6David RaumRBLvs FCA15M
7Willi OrbanRBLvs FCA11MAnother differential to consider. One of the best duel meisters and is dangerous with his capability to score headers against one of the worst set-piece defending teams in the league.
8Diego LeiteFCU@BMG9M
9Jeff ChabotVFB@WOB10M

Forwards

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Harry KaneFCB@SVW20MKane at the top does not really need an explanation. He has two hattricks in a row, eight goals and two assists in four matches this season and on second thoughts might be the only player whose form is even remotely comparable to that of Haaland.
2Lois OpendaRBL@STP15M
3Victor BonifaceB04vs WOB18M
4Omar MarmoushSGEvs BMG11MFrankfurt isn't the team to score a lot of goals but the new scoring system still suits Marmoush a lot and he is averaging 263 points a game.
5Benjamin ŠeškoRBL@STP14M
6Kingsley ComanFCB@SVW13MUsually a very high scoring match for Bayern but I have questions about Coman's form and fitness.
7Deniz UndavVFBvs BVB13MYes, I trust a Stuttgart forward more in this match than a BVB one.
8Serhou GuirassyBVB@VFB19M
9Hugo EkitikeSGEvs BMG12M

Midfielders

 

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Jamal MusialaFCB@SVW20MBoth Musiala and Wirtz played around the same minutes in UCL midweek but there is a small doubt that Hofmann starts over Wirtz this week.
2Xavi SimonsRBL@STP17M
3Florian WirtzB04vs WOB20M
4Michael OliseFCB@SVW16MFeels like he is still finding his feet but the potential for a big haul is still there.
5Pascal GroßBVB@VFB11M
6Kevin StögerBMG@SGE15M
7Joao PalhinhaFCB@SVW13MDuels are worth gold now and Palhinha was by far the best player at winning duels in the top 5 leagues last season. It is early but I think he will be a reliable option for 200+ points every time he starts.
8Granit XhakaB04vs WOB15MLigainsider is only sure about Tah starting for Leverkusen so I am not too high on Xhaka either.
9Paul WannerFCHvs SCF8MThese are two teams that are strong at home but terrible away so I prefer Wanner over Grifo.
10Nadiem AmiriM05@FCA13M

Defenders

 

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Álex GrimaldoB04vs WOB20MJust be wary of possible rotation.
2Nico SchlotterbeckBVB@VFB14MJoao Palhinha of defenders and also as prone to get a yellow card or get sent off.
3Diego LeiteFCUvs TSG9MAgainst a possibly Kramaric-less Hoffenheim, there is a good chance that Union keep their third cleansheet in four games.
4Dayot UpamecanoFCB@SVW12M
5David RaumRBL@STP15MStill a toss up between him and Henrichs but I prefer Raum because of the slightly higher chance of being involved in a goal.
6Jonathan TahB04vs WOB13M
7Benjamin HenrichsRBL@STP15M
8Waldemar AntonBVB@VFB12M

Bundesliga Fantasy: Team Reveal and Favorite Picks for Matchday 4

Leave a comment

Tipster Bornob who is ranked 18th in the world in Bundesliga Fantasy reveals his team and favourite picks for matchday 5,

 

Hello, I am Munna, playing Bundesliga fantasy for the fourth season and this new rules era has been a blessing for me. I am currently sitting 18th Overall worldwide. The target is to finish at least in the top 50 at the end of the season.

Recap of Bundesliga Fantasy Matchday 4

In the previous game week in my main account team @YELLOWALLBD I brought Adamu while playing with three premium midfielders (Musiala, Wirtz, Simmons) alongside Grifo and Groß who were already in my team.

My transfer targets were bringing Musiala, Wirtz, and Simons together to play them for two matchdays. 1st game week went well as I had the star on Harry Kane who got 762 points while Adamu got me 337 points.

In midfield, I had Wirtz (206), Musiala Star ⭐ (302) and Simons who got 274 points got me already close to 800 points. Then Grifo and Groß gave me 534 points together.

In defence, I went for cheap defenders but wasted one transfer on Mainka who somehow had a bad game week. While Chase and Grimaldo were already there I brought in Kubler.

Team Reveal

This team is from my second account ID in which I couldn’t log in for a long time. So changed a lot here and sharing it with you all. In forwards, I already had Kramaric and Kane together as I couldn’t log in so I brought Paul Wanner and Kevin Stöger. Both are a brilliant shout for this game week. In defense, I have to sacrifice Ryerson who was in the team from the first. I brought in Wittek as they face a newly promoted side that is leaky. In GK I have removed Muller and brought in a second-choice keeper for the fixture they have.

Fantasy Bundesliga Best Player Picks Matchday 5

I am picking here the differentials one as you already have ideas of who are favorite and locked picks for this game week like Kane, Wirtz, Openda, and Simons.
