#FPLCommunity Image
Tsimikas πŸ”΄

Pros βœ…
β€’ Β£3m less than counterpart
β€’ Strong attacking potential - 3 assists in pre-season
β€’ On some set pieces
β€’ Good starting fixtures (nor, BUR, CHE)

Cons ❌
β€’ Milner can also play LB
β€’ Blocks third Liverpool slot
β€’ Robbo expected back GW3/4 the earliest Image
Amartey πŸ”΅

Pros βœ…
β€’ Leicester currently have no other fit CBs
β€’ Impressed v City in the community shield
β€’ Good starting fixtures (WOL, whu, nor)

Cons ❌
β€’ Leicester in the market for a new CB
β€’ Evans expected back around GW4 at the earliest
β€’ No attacking threat Image
Omobamidele πŸ”°

Pros βœ…
β€’ Has played all pre-season games
β€’ Norwich recently playing with 3 CBs
β€’ Most likely of the 4.0s to maintain his place long term

Cons ❌
β€’ Grant + Hanley strong competition in a back 4
β€’ Poor fixtures in a poor team
β€’ Limited attacking threat Image
Summary ‡️

Your choice of a Β£4.0 DEF is ultimately down to your risk tolerance ‼️

If you want a higher upside, then Tsimikas is your man πŸ”₯

Otherwise, Omobamidele is probably a safer option over a longer timeframe βœ…

And Amartey is stuck somewhere in the middle of both πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Image
My preference βœ”οΈ

As my 4.0 defender will occupy my 3rd slot on the bench, I’ll be going for the upside πŸ”

Here are my personal rankings πŸ‘‡ Image

We are entering the business end of the season, with a large number of DGWs approaching.

Being well prepared and informed during this period can give you a major edge over your mini-leagues rivals.
Chip strategy should be dependent on a range of factors, but the most weight should be placed on:

1️⃣ Remaining chips
2️⃣ State of current team

Let’s look at the different situations FPL managers may find themselves in, based on their remaining chips…

🟒 FIXTURE SWINGS 🟒 #FPL

Analysing the teams with the most favourable upcoming fixture swings βœ”οΈ

Including the best assets to target from each team 🎯

[Thread] 🧡 Image
πŸ”΄ Liverpool

We should have a better idea of Klopp’s preferred XI for the GW9 fixture swing.

Salah is the obvious pick. Also, one of Nunez, Diaz, Jota may emerge as consistent starters. Szobo one to watch.

Trent will only be considered if Liverpool fix their defensive form. Image
βšͺ️ Tottenham

Many are already looking to bring in Spurs assets, seeing how impressive they have been under Ange.

If you’re not buying now, then the focus should be to buy for GW8.

Son/Maddison in attack, and Udogie in defence are the standout assets. Image

5 Differentials you MUST consider on FH32 🌟

A thread 🧡

#FPL | @OfficialFPL Image
πŸ”΄ Robertson (Β£6.8m)

β€’ Up against Forest, who are ranked 19th for xG since the restart

β€’ Ranked 3rd among defenders for xGI (last 6 matches)

β€’ Very high competition in attack - Nunez, Jota, Gakpo, Diaz, Firmino fighting for 2 spots - Robertson’s place is more secure Image
🦊 Maddison (£8.1m)

β€’ Generated 0.72 xGI in a tough fixture away to City - along with 1 big chance missed

β€’ Playing very advanced in the support striker role, just behind Vardy

β€’ Wolves ranked 14th for xGC since the restart Image

Top 5 Rashford replacements until the end of the season πŸ€•

Thread 🧡

#FPL | @OfficialFPL Image
5️⃣ - Antony 😈

βœ”οΈ Will get more minutes until Rashford returns

βœ”οΈ 8 shots, 2 big chances, 3 chances created in the last 2 games

βœ”οΈ 2 DGWs ahead

❌ Prone to early sub - could rotate with Sancho when Rashford is back

❌ BGW32

🌟 Huge differential pick at <1% EO in top 10k Image
4️⃣ - Michael Olise πŸ¦…

βœ”οΈ Plays in GW32 - appealing for those not playing FH32

βœ”οΈ Green fixtures until the end - Spurs away the only tough fixture

βœ”οΈ 6 shots and 9 chances created in the last 2 games

❌ Only downside is no DGWs Image

Assessing the best GK options for Bench Boost and beyond 🧀

A Thread 🧡

(for the unlucky Sanchez / Ward owners out there)
Steele (Β£3.9m) πŸ•ŠοΈ

βœ… 4 DGWs until end of season

βœ… Huge enabler at Β£3.9m

❌ Long term security of starts is unknown

❌ Can block a third Brighton slot if he does he get dropped ahead of future DGWs

❌ BGW32 (for those not Free Hitting)
Pope (Β£5.4m) πŸ”²

βœ… Newcastle have best defensive stats in the league

βœ… 2 DGWs until end of season

❌ Has a small niggling injury

❌ Many already doubled up on Newcastle defence

❌ High pricetag for a 2nd GK
