We also look at the captain tracker for the next few gameweeks and it’s affect on our Aguero replacement. We also look at the new players to FPL , their prices and the best picks
Sky Sports Fantasy Football tips – a review so far and looking forward
So lets start by having a look at the FFGeek team:
So I’ve gone for the structure of cheap GK. Good defence. 4 big hitting captain options of Hazard, Payet (in theory), Aguero (now injured) and Ibrahimovic. The 3 players using the pass and tackle bonus stat being Arter, Xhaka and Gueye.
I didn’t really have the team properly set up before the original gameweek 1 deadline so I’ve unfortunately used 6 transfers to get where I am now but I feel I can adjust the team only to injuries, players losing their place and captain rotation in the short to medium term.
Aguero obviously needs to go for the suspension and injury he has. See below that the captain rotation will probably show that Sanchez is a target here. I also wonder if Arter is going to be the sacrifice for Wilshere which may need some attention. Given the Everton need for a captain plan I could go for Aguero to Lukaku and Ozil for Payet. That does give me an issue for GW6 Sunday though
The good thing about Sky Sports fantasy football is that planning your captain rotations if nothing else can go long way to
Captain rotation
Here we outline the best club options for each day of each gameweek
GW4 Saturday – Arsenal v Southampton
GW4 Sunday – Swansea v Chelsea
GW4 Monday – Swansea v Everton
GW5 Friday – Chelsea v Liverpool
GW5 Saturday – Hull v Arsenal, Man City v Bournemouth, Everton v Middlesborough
GW5 Sunday – Watford v Man Utd, Spurs v Sunderland
GW6 Saturday – Bournemouth v Everton, Liverpool v Hull, Swansea v Man City
GW6 Sunday – West Ham v Southampton
GW6 Monday – Burnley v Watford
GW7 Friday – Everton v C Palace
GW7 Saturday – Swansea v Liverpool, Hull v Chelsea
GW7 Sunday – Man Utd v Stoke, Burnley v Arsenal
So assuming Aguero becomes Sanchez it’s fairly good cover as captain at the moment. Defour or Hedrick of Watford if they show pass or tackle bonus ofr Burnley could fill the 1 gap there in GW6.
