Get ready for an exciting Gameweek 29 in Fantasy Premier League (FPL)! We've got all the latest updates and insights to help you make those crucial last-minute decisions. The race to the finish line is on!
First things first, let's talk deadlines. You've got until 18:00 GMT on Tuesday, March 3rd, to make your transfers and final team selections. That's a quick turnaround, so let's dive right in!
Injury Concerns: Who's Fit to Play?
The Winter Olympics-style flag ceremony has left many popular players with injury doubts. Erling Haaland (£14.7m), Nico O'Reilly (£5.1m), Harry Wilson (£6.0m), and Declan Rice (£7.5m) are all facing fitness battles. With the deadline looming, managers are keeping their cards close to their chests.
Pep Guardiola, Manchester City's manager, said, "[Haaland] feels better, but we'll decide after training." Similarly, Marco Silva, Fulham's manager, stated, "Harry Wilson is one of the players we're assessing." Mikel Arteta, Arsenal's manager, expressed hope that Declan Rice would be "okay" for the upcoming game.
So, the million-dollar question: Should you sell these players or hope for the best? Zophar's Q&A piece offers some valuable advice on this dilemma.
Transfer Targets: Who to Bring In?
Several players with injury doubts are part of the "Great and Good" template squad. If you're looking for replacements, consider Virgil van Dijk (£6.1m), who recently delivered an attacking return. Hugo Ekitike (£9.1m) also hauled in his latest match, and both he and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.7m) could be excellent Haaland alternatives.
Liverpool players are a solid choice across all positions. The reigning champions are favored for clean sheets and attacking returns against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Additionally, Brentford and Fulham have favorable upcoming fixtures, making their players worth considering.
Captain's Armband: Who to Trust?
With Haaland's availability uncertain, there's armband mayhem. The Captain Sensible article suggests Bruno Fernandes (£10.0m), Hugo Ekitike, or Antoine Semenyo (£8.2m). Our RMT algorithm, however, favors a different trio. It's a tough decision, but with Haaland's status unclear, it's a gamble worth considering.
