Here’s my fantasy premier league team selection DGW24 article. As is normal, I review GW23, share my transfer thoughts, captain choice and the lineup dilemmas.
fantasy premier league team selection DGW24 – the FFGeek team
Firstly if you’re new to the site my last 3 seasons overall ranks are 36k, 17k and 21k.
GW23 review
GW23 points: 55 (FPL average 44) Total points 1,319, Gameweek rank 1,611k, Overall Rank: 134k, green arrow 42k, Team Value: £103.8m
Here’s the points:
I went into a bit detail in my early FFGeek team transfers article so I won’t here especially given the time constraints.
In short 55 points for total points of 1,319 and a 42k green arrow to 134k overall rank. 5 returning players including 2 with double figure points.
Transfers
As I said above, you may have seen the early FFGeek team transfers article of Sunday night. Again I explained the rationale behind the transfers in that article so I won’t repeat that there. I also talked about it with Costas and Rob Reid in our Patreon subscription site podcast.
The transfers were:
They are
Alli out and Salah in
Gomez out and Holgate in.
Jimenez out and Calvert Lewin in
-4 point deduction thanks ultimately to the Fabianski injury requiring replacement.
Lineup issues
The only lineup issue is between Cantwell and Rico. In the end I’ve gone for Rico as first sub as I think the Bournemouth clean sheet has more chance than Cantwell returning. It’s a close call though and I could have gone either way.
Captain choice and triple captain
I haven’t done a captain analysis article but you can see the bookies odds and the polls in this article. I’m going for Salah. The underlying stats are very similar as well as the returns. For me though Salah edges it as he should have penalty duties with Milner injured and his shooting volumes are higher which is something I always value.
I’m also triple captaining Salah. I feel that he should play both games given the time between the 2 fixtures and that he should be rested in the FA Cup away to Shrewsbury at the weekend. The fixtures aren’t perfect both away but I’m not going to hold on for the hope of something better
The team lineup looks like this
Good luck this gameweek
