As Fantasy Premier League managers set their sights on Gameweek 15, a strategic approach to player selection is crucial amidst a mix of challenging and potentially rewarding fixtures.
This midweek presents an opportunity for managers to either solidify their position or climb up the ranks by making informed choices.
Caoimhin Kelleher (Liverpool) face one of the worst attacks in the league- Sheffield United and also offers potential for save points. Martin Dubravka (Newcastle), might be in goal against Everton, stands after the injury of Nick Pope and it looks like he will be out for a while.
Daniel Bentley (Wolverhampton) came from the bench last round for Wolverhampton after Jose Sa took a hit and he might need some time to recover. David Raya (Arsenal) is another good option between the sticks facing struggling Luton Town.
William Saliba (Arsenal) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) emerge as top picks. Both defenders are known not just for their ability to shut out opponents but also for their contributions in attack, making them lucrative options. Milos Kerkez (Bournemouth) and Charlie Taylor (Burnley) are the budget differentials this gameweek. Kieran Trippier (Newcastle), renowned for his set-piece prowess, could be a key player once again against Everton.
Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) is a no-brainer and is surely the main capitancy candidate. He is a constant threat for both goals and assists. Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) is expected to maintain his fine form against Luton Town, making him another top choice. Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford) and Anthony Gordon (Newcastle United), while less predictable, have the capability to deliver significant returns. Son Heung-min (Tottenham) , going up against West Ham, could exploit their defensive vulnerabilities.
Erling Haaland (Manchester City) is almost indispensable, even against a sturdy Aston Villa defense, due to his exceptional goal-scoring record. Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) and Dominic Solanke (Bournemouth) face tough opponents in Manchester City and Crystal Palace, yet they possess the quality to make a mark. Matheus Cunha (Wolverhampton) could surprise against an inconsistent Burnley defence.
In conclusion, Gameweek 15 offers a blend of predictability with potential surprises. While key players from teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City continue to be attractive, managers should not overlook the value that players from teams like Newcastle and Brentford could bring.
Monitoring the latest team news and keeping an eye on player form will be key to navigating this gameweek successfully. Best of luck to all FPL managers as they tackle these intriguing matchups!
