Here’s our fantasy premier league team selection GW15 article with the FFGeek team for GW15. We look at last week, the transfer thoughts, lineup dilemmas and the captain choice
fantasy premier league team selection GW15 – the FFGeek team for GW15
Gameweek 14
I went into GW14 in detail in my early thoughts article on the FFGeek team article so I won’t go into it too much here.
GW14 points: 49 (average 49) Total points 864, Gameweek rank 2,965k, Overall Rank: 57k, red arrow 14k, Team Value: £102.3m
Here’s the points:
So using my metrics to evaluate a gameweek this would be counted as a failure. A red arrow of 14k to 57k OR, a gameweek rank of 2.9 million vs a target of under 1 million. However the difficult part was that I had 6 returning players vs a target of 4 which you would hope would lead to a solid green arrow. However none got more than 7 points and my captain failure with no return was behind that.
The team planner schedule
1 transfer and £0.5m in the bank.
So here’s my team planner which I’ve taken from my early FFGeek team article:
Team transfer thoughts
1 transfer and £0.5m in the bank.
So you may have seen this captain planning schedule in my imaginary wildcard article which shows that unless you want to play FPL chicken with your captain choices that an Arsenal and Spurs captain option will be handy. Generally their fixtures are strong as well. Chelsea and Liverpool are less necessary.

So I’ve spent sometime working out how I can get Kane and Aubameyang/Lacazette plus Sterling and Sane in the team over the next 2 gameweeks. That means 2 -4’s over the next 2 weeks.
One thing is certain though is that it’s not realistic to get the 4 of Sterling, Sane, Aubameyang and Kane into my team. I will either have to sacrifice Aubameyang or Sterling effectively and both if I want to keep Arnautovic.
So the transfers I’m going to make this week are
Aguero out for Kane and Sane in for Hazard.
Next week I will have the possibility of doing either Salah out for D Silva and then either Ings or Arnautovic out for Lacazette or Aubameyang respectively or lastly Salah out for Bernardo Silva and Ings out for Aubameyang. Again it will be -4
I’m happy with the 2 -4 point deductions as they are defensive for future captain situations
Lineup
The only issue was whether to go Wolves at home to Chelsea or Palace at Brighton. I’ve gone for Palace at Brighton. I feel like it’s going to be a tough week again.
Captain choice
My captain analysis article as usual provides alot of information but it is another 50/50 call. Alot of me wanted to go Salah but I stuck with the supposedly safer pick of Kane due to the polls.
The team
Here’s the lineup then:
Good luck to everyone!
