Man City is a team that interests all of us but with the possibility of winning title in the first match against CHE, there could be some heavy rotation in 2nd game.
Here are our top 3 picks who have a decent chance of starting both games:
1. Mahrez
Mahrez has had 4 consecutive starts in last 4 matches in the Premier League and looks the most likely to start both games in the double as his direct counterpart Bernardo has been more favored in the Champions League and also started in the last game against Madrid.
The RW rotation according to us:
GW37 vs Chelsea (H) – Mahrez
GW37 vs Brighton (A) – Mahrez
GW38 vs Brentford (A) – Bernardo
Pep emphasizes a lot on "rhythm" and thus might want to start his best starting XI in GW38 ahead of the FA Cup Final and Bernardo is definitely one of the first names.
Hence, we feel Mahrez has a good chance of starting in both matches.
2. Alvarez
Just like Mahrez, Alvarez has also started in the last 4 games in Premier League, with Pep playing KDB and Alvarez together in one of the matches.
We definitely expect KDB to start the Chelsea game, which is where Alvarez’s chances of starting become a bit low.
However, we feel, Pep might go for the Argentine as he is in great form, and we might see both him and KDB in the lineup together against Chelsea.
And thus, he has a good chance of starting in both matches. If not, he will play at least 120 minutes.
3. Foden
Unlike Mahrez, the one advantage Foden has is he is quite versatile in many positions, and we have seen Pep playing him in the right-wing, left-wing, and sometimes in midfield as well.
But we expect Pep to go with a stronger lineup against Chelsea, and unfortunately, Foden doesn't feature in that. So the most likely scenario for Foden is a sub appearance in the Chelsea game and a start in the more difficult Brighton game.
1) Is Salah to Bruno/KDB viable?
We all tend to go for the quantity of fixtures rather than the quality & this double is no different. A lot of FPL managers are considering the sideways move from Salah who has a single fixture to Bruno/Kevin De Bruyne who have double fixtures.
1. Salah to KDB –
Kevin De Bruyne has two good fixtures but is a minute’s risk as he might not start in the second game against Brighton (if the title is already wrapped up) in which case he and Salah will play almost equal minutes and we expect Salah to score more points.
2. Salah to Bruno –
Now this is a more interesting move that might work out as Bruno is good for 180 minutes over the double and has two good fixtures. There will also be a sense of motivation as Manchester United are still in the top 4 and thus have so much to play for.
But if we also take into consideration the GW38 fixture, where Liverpool faces Southampton and Manchester United faces Fulham, it becomes a bit tricky.
Salah against a relegated Southampton team on the last day of the season is too good to pass. But we are not against the move.
Haaland is obviously the standout captaincy pick this GW, he has a DGW with decent fixtures and his ownership will be massive, not to mention the fact that he already has 36 PL goals this season.
However, one could argue that City will rotate heavily in the Brighton game (assuming they win the league vs Chelsea) and even Haaland could be at risk for a benching there. Now, Haaland could of course score a hattrick in the first game and end up starting the second anyway…
Fantasypaedia contributor @FPL_Architect is back with his weekly thread!
In this thread, he will be focusing on some single gameweek players who have a hight ceiling and can outscore players with double fixtures in Gameweek 36.
It’s always difficult to guess Pep Guardiola’s starting XI, but with Riyad Mahrez having started 3 PL games in a row before being benched in the UCL, it’s reasonable to assume that he comes back in vs Everton.
With only 3 GWs left it’s time to start taking risks, and if Mahrez ends up starting he’s a differential with an extremely high points ceiling. The fixture is decent, and Mahrez has 4 assists in his last 3 PL games as well as 3 double digit hauls in his last 11 starts.
With only 4 GWs left of the season, it’s time for FPL managers to take a look at their current overall rank and compare it to their rank target. How far away from your target you are will determine how much risk is worth taking in the final weeks of the season.
Even though the template can seem strong it can’t cover every single good pick, which means that there will be high-upside players with low ownership there for the taking.
Now, bringing in an objectively slightly worse asset isn’t recommended, in most cases, but when you’re…
