Gameweek 29

The Elite XI managers have a broad range of playing styles and tackle each season using different methodologies and strategies. But on one matter, they have all been united this season – Gameweek 29 was the right time to play the Bench Boost.

All 11 members of the Elite XI team have deployed the chip this Gameweek, joining the 20% of (active) managers – according to FPL Statistics – who also pulled the trigger ahead of the weekend’s action.

With the first half of the double Gameweek concluded, the Elite XI team will be happy with their scores, with no manager falling below the Top 100k average (Live Insight) of 63.6 points. But it is Paul who is smiling the most with a score of 83 (-4) with 14 players left to play in the 2nd half of the Gameweek.

With just one free transfer available, Paul made a double change for a hit, bringing in Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) and Luke Shaw (£5.2m), sending Bukayo Saka (£8.6m) and Ben Mee (£5.1m) the other way.

A triple Newcastle defence earned Paul 24 points with another round still to go. His front-three all found the target with Ollie Watkins (£7.5m), Ivan Toney (£7.9m) and Harry Kane (£11.7m) all hitting the net, but it is Paul’s Brighton assets who continue to surprise him.
