🔍 GW5 WATCHLIST 10: DEFS

Our Big-at-the-Back dreams have been dragged through the mud recently, so who can managers turn to in order to keep the points rolling in at DEF?

Likes and RTs appreciated.

THREAD 🧵:
#FPL With consecutive starts, Perisic is becoming the standout performer at DEF. He's one of 4 teams that appear to be playing very high wing-backs and his attacking stats sell themselves:

- 11.3 pts/90,
- 0.81 adj. xGI,
- 0.94 xGA

✅ BUY

#FPL At current prices, who's your top midfield value pick? Comment any other suggestions below:

🎯 GW5 WATCHLIST 10:

Back by popular demand!

Starting the ball rolling with £8m MIDs to track:

THREAD 🧵: Luis Diaz is a pick I'm looking at closely (and 2 weeks late...) but with Salah underperforming massively, and my attention being grabbed by other midfield options, Diaz provides a route back into the LIV front 3 at a very good price.

🃏 GW5 WILDCARD SQUAD:

Still too early, but my ideal Wildcard Squad *IF* I was considering it would in GW5 would look like this.

Would be pretty happy with this squad tbh.

Remaining questions discussed in the thread 🧵:

#FPL #fantasypremierleague 🧤 Q1: Sanchez Vs Henderson Vs Sá

Easiest to answer. BHA have been imperious in defence and currently look like the A* kids in class. Other keepers have played really well and brought home the bag but you wouldn't trust those defences to keep a clean sheet.

Pick: Sanchez

🎯 GW5 PLAYER POINTS PROJECTIONS:

I've been trying to calibrate a points projection system to pick last few FTs before WC.

First: 6GW attacker projections

*Don't take projections too seriously, sample size is small and only 34% certainty*

Likes & RTs appreciated.

THREAD 🧵: Numbers factor in previous performances, upcoming opposition and home/away advantage.

Although some questionable projections, the chart paints an overall picture.

Intuitively, Rodrigo seems over-projected, whilst the next 3 have a -35 point gap projection over 6GWs.
