As we gear up for Gameweek 20, savvy Fantasy Premier League managers in the top 100k are making strategic moves to optimize their squads. Here's a breakdown of the top 5 transfer combinations:
Trent Alexander-Arnold In / Kieran Trippier Out - Alexander-Arnold has been a creative force for Liverpool, with 8 big chances created and 11 bonus points over the last 3 gameweeks. His projected points for the next three fixtures are promising, with a home game against Newcastle (difficulty 4) and away games against Bournemouth (difficulty 2) and Chelsea (difficulty 3). His cost is at 8.4 and he's selected by 24.1% of FPL managers. - Trippier, on the other hand, has had a quieter spell, with no big chances created and a single bonus point. Newcastle's upcoming fixtures include challenging encounters against Liverpool (difficulty 4) and Man City (difficulty 5), which could explain the shift away from Trippier, who is priced at 6.8 and owned by 40.8% of managers.
Julián Álvarez In / Erling Haaland Out - Álvarez has stepped up in Haaland's absence, scoring 1 goal and providing 2 assists in the last 3 gameweeks. With an expected goals figure of 2.17 and expected assists at 1.72, his form is impressive. Man City's next three fixtures are against Sheffield Utd (difficulty 2), Newcastle (difficulty 4), and Burnley (difficulty 2), which could provide fertile ground for Álvarez to continue his form. - Haaland is currently sidelined with a foot injury, expected back on January 13th. Despite his high ownership (56.0%) and a strong expected goals figure (1.63), his injury status has prompted managers to seek alternatives.
Phil Foden In / Anthony Gordon Out - Foden has been involved in 3 goals in the last 3 gameweeks, with 2 goals and 1 assist. His expected goals and assists are 2.22 and 0.95 respectively, indicating his potential for points. Man City's upcoming fixtures present opportunities for Foden to add to his tally. - Gordon has not been as influential, with no goals and 1 assist in the same period. Newcastle's upcoming fixtures against Liverpool and Man City are likely influencing managers to transfer him out.
Trent Alexander-Arnold In / Kostas Tsimikas Out - The preference for Alexander-Arnold over Tsimikas is clear, with Tsimikas currently injured (shoulder injury) and without a known return date. Tsimikas' lack of projected points and his injury status make Alexander-Arnold the obvious choice for managers looking for defensive returns.
Jarrod Bowen In / Anthony Gordon Out - Bowen has been in fine form for West Ham, with 3 goals in the last 3 gameweeks and an expected goals figure of 2.22. His upcoming fixtures against Brighton (difficulty 3), Sheffield Utd (difficulty 2), and Bournemouth (difficulty 2) make him an attractive option. - With Gordon being transferred out for the reasons mentioned above, Bowen's recent performances and favorable fixtures have made him a popular choice among the top 100k managers.
These strategic transfers reflect the importance of form, fixtures, and player availability as key factors in FPL decision-making. Managers are looking to capitalize on players with favorable upcoming matches and moving away from those with difficult fixtures or injury concerns.
