As we gear up for Gameweek 17, the top 100k Fantasy Premier League managers are making strategic moves to optimise their squads. Here's a look at the most popular transfer combinations:
Dominic Solanke IN for Erling Haaland OUT - Haaland has been a fantasy titan this season, but a foot injury casts doubt on his immediate contributions, with a 50% chance of playing. His next fixture is promising against Crystal Palace, but managers are wary of his blank Gameweek 18 and are looking to Bournemouth's Solanke as a lucrative alternative. Solanke has been in fine form, netting 4 goals in the last 3 gameweeks and boasting a projected 6.0 points in his next match against Luton. His consistent performance and penalty duties make him a compelling choice.
Ollie Watkins IN for Erling Haaland OUT - Watkins is another forward gaining traction, as managers seek to free up funds and spread the wealth across their teams. With Haaland's injury and blank Gameweek 18, Watkins' upcoming fixtures against Brentford, Sheffield Utd, and Man Utd present a series of opportunities for points. His 3 goals in recent matches and a price rise to £8.5m indicate his rising stock.
Dominic Solanke IN for Darwin Núñez OUT - While Darwin Núñez has shown potential, his lack of goals in the last 3 gameweeks has managers looking elsewhere. Solanke's form and favorable fixtures make him an attractive swap, especially with Núñez facing a potentially challenging set of matches against Man Utd, Arsenal, and Burnley.
Pedro Porro IN for Joachim Andersen OUT - The defensive switch sees managers banking on Pedro Porro of Spurs, who has created 5 big chances and accrued 4 bonus points recently. Andersen's Crystal Palace faces a daunting match against Man City, prompting managers to look to Porro's potential for assists and clean sheets in his upcoming fixtures against Nott'm Forest, Everton, and Brighton.
Ollie Watkins IN for Darwin Núñez OUT - Doubling down on Watkins, managers are moving away from Liverpool's Núñez. Watkins' recent form makes him a threat for points accumulation.
In summary, the top 100k managers are pivoting from premium to value forwards and shoring up their defenses with players who have the potential for both clean sheets and attacking returns. As always, keep an eye on injury news and fixture changes to stay ahead of the game.
