GW14: Buy, Sell, Keep

28 Oct. 2022

As the deadline looms closer, it is time to decide what to do with our precious free transfer(s). Aside from playing chips or selecting a captain, our transfers are the single most important aspect of our FPL campaign, and the importance of getting it right cannot be overstated.

In this article we crunch the numbers, analyse the fixtures, take advice from the Algorithm, and decide which player to buy, which player to sell, and which player to keep for Gameweek 14.

BUY: Bukayo Saka

  • Cost: £8.0

With many managers shifting out their Arsenal assets out to navigate Blank Gameweek 12, now is the time to be bringing them back in. With a home against Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 14, now is a great opportunity to bring in Bukayo Saka (£8.0m).

On just one point less than his more-expensive midfield counterpart Phil Foden (£8.5m), Saka has been in fine form recently. Aside from Gameweek 13’s blip against Southampton, Saka was averaging 8.75 points per game in his previous four appearances, and is playing extremely high up the pitch in Arteta’s favoured style.

To add to his appeal, Saka seems to be on penalties, having converted a chance from the spot kick against Liverpool in Gameweek 10.
