Haaland Alternatives - Is it Time to Sell?

Haaland: Keep or Sell? After another blank from Haaland and Pep suffering his third consecutive loss for the first time since taking charge of the club, Manchester City are not looking like the record breakers of last season.  Although only producing 1 return in 5 games, Haaland is still the projected top scorer for this game-week as they face an eccentric Brighton side - a team unlikely to sit back which could leave spaces in behind for the Norwegian to exploit. Additionally, he is top in the league for non-penalty expected goal involvements over the last 5 game-weeks with 4.14, more than doubling Salah's.  If you don't have the transfers to get another premium like Salah in your team then I would hold on to Haaland as this dip in form is certainly temporary. With De Bruyne making his return from injury in the Champions League this week too, it is only a matter of time before he finds his feet. Haaland Replacements If your heart is set on getting rid of Haaland, these are the...

FPL Game week 10 Transfer Tips

Image
FPL Players to Sell Gabriel (£6.3m) After coming off injured in Arsenal's clash with Liverpool last week, it is uncertain whether Gabriel will be in the Gunners' starting line-up against Newcastle in game-week 10. After the game, Arteta said that he could not run, hinting that the Brazilian has taken damage to his knee joint. Although the injury is not believed to be too serious, it may be wise to get a replacement in, especially considering Arsenal's clean sheet record so far this season.  Dominic Solanke (£7.7m) It has been an underwhelming 24/25 campaign for Dominic Solanke. The striker has failed to live up to his hefty £65m price tag so far, only registering 9 shots on target in the league. With other players having more goals than this, it is time to look for alternative options.  FPL Players to Buy Ait-Nouri (£4.6m) Wolves have 3 home games out of their next 4, and have by far the easiest fixture run over the next 8 weeks. Wolves aren't the most convincing team d...

The Saka Situation

Image
Having missed Arsenal's last two games with a hamstring injury, Bukayo Saka is a worry this week for the 25% of managers who still own him. The Gunners' winger is the most transferred out player for week 9, with 800,000 players getting rid of the midfielder. Respected Arsenal journalist, Charles Watts, tweeted that the club remains hopeful he will start, however it will be a late decision. As Arsenal face top of the table Liverpool this week, after losing their first game of the season against Bournemouth the week before - the only league game Saka did not play - it is understood that boss, Mikel Arteta will be doing everything he can to get the 23 year old into the starting line-up. Saka has been vital in Arsenal's campaign this season, registering 2 goals and 7 assists in his 7 matches played. However, his recent absence from the team sheet has lead many managers to look for alternative options. Son Heung Min of Spurs, who himself has recently bounced back from an injury,...

Players to Sell Game Week 8

Image
Forwards Alexander Isak Although there is potential for Isak to comeback from injury this week, he is still a sell. Newcastle have a difficult run of fixtures, facing Chelsea and Arsenal in their next 3 games. His hefty £8.3m price tag can be better spent elsewhere, with cheaper and more efficient options being available, such as Tottenham's Solanke. Joao Pedro With the confirmation that Joao Pedro's injury will leave him side-lined for at least 6 weeks, he is an easy sell. There are many alternatives available for similar prices of £5.5m so finding a replacement should not be difficult.   Midfielders Ebereche Eze Failing to live up to his hype this season, it is time to sell Ebereche Eze. Having only registered 1 G/A so far this season, and with a difficult fixture run ahead, it is not worth holding onto the Englishman. Crystal Palace sit in the relegation zone struggling to keep goals out at one end and put them in the other, making it a simple decision to ship Ez...

FPL Game Week 8 Essential Player Picks

Image
 1. Bryan Mbuemo Brentford's new talisman, Bryan Mbuemo, has been on great form this season after the departure of Ivan Toney in the summer transfer window. The 25 year old has 6 goals in 7 games for the Bees in the league this season, with only Haaland having scored more. Mbuemo is the most transferred in player this week, bringing him up to 27% ownership amongst players, and with good reason. Away to an uninspiring Manchester United this week, and with Ipswich, Fulham, Bournemouth and Fulham up next in the fixture calendar, Mbuemo is a great long-term pick.  2. Brennan Johnson Scoring again over the international break, Brennan Johnson made it 7 consecutive games on the scoresheet. Coming in at £6.5m, and being transferred in by 242,000 managers, the Welsh international is a solid pick until Spurs play Manchester City in game-week 12. Although only playing 90 minutes twice this season, averaging 74 minutes a game in the 24/25 season, Johnson has proved himself to be a signif...
