This weekend’s set of fixtures precedes the first Double Gameweek of 2019/20 and there is much for Fantasy managers to ponder as we approach what could be a pivotal couple of weeks in many of our seasons.

With two Fantasy Premier League deadlines to negotiate in the space of 79 hours, we take a look at the data available in our Members’ Area and present the eye-catching stats that may be of interest.

We’ve run down the stand-out figures in every position, as well as looking at the strengths and weaknesses of various teams to assess which Fantasy Premier League assets could shine in Gameweek 23 and beyond.

Rolling monthly subscriptions are now available for £2.99, while half-season memberships (expiring on June 1) can be bought for £9.99. Click here to sign up or upgrade your account.

      If you need the .1 I would make the transfer, if not don’t worry about it but saying that I could see him dropping .1 or .2 this week anyway unless he plays.

    Evening all, any thoughts or changes to this squad?

    Ryan-Button
    TAA-VVD-Soy-Lund-Kelly
    Mane-KDB-Martial-Grealish-Cantwell
    Vardy-Tammy-Ings

    I have 2FT and 2.3itb.
    I’m 90% sure I’m going to go Tammy>Firmino for DGW which means VVD needs to go. Thinking VVD to Sidibe this week and next week I could make the call on if I want to keep Grealish/Martial/Cantwell/Kelly.

    Any other ideas of suggestions?

          Don't understand this. Bobby needs one assist across the two games to equal the one clean sheet they will get v West Ham, Wolves gave Liverpool the leg around at Anfield unlucky not to score and I fancy them to at Molineux.

      My exact thoughts Jia. Just worried he won't show up... yet again. But hey i have nothing to lose and he is due for a haul. I have a feeling Mahrez might be dropped this week. Thanks Sun.

        I'm bringing Mahrez in but Pep could still drop him even after that epic performance! Be weird if Sterling missed 3 league games on the bounce I feel but yeah make sure you have adequate cover!

    Despite the benching headache situation, I'm loving my differential front 8:
    Mane Son Mahrez Richarlison Martial
    Firmino Ings Maupay

    Actually with owning the likes of Mahrez and Ings, it's probably not a bad thing to have cover for upcoming games!

        Not 100% but would be harsh dropping him after that brilliant performance! Guessing he starts and gets a rest midweek away at SHU where I'll start Martial over him anyway.
