FPL Q&A: Expert Advice on Team Selection and Captaincy Choices The FPL expert Holly Shand addressed a range of questions from players seeking guidance on transfers, captaincy choices, and strategic decisions for the upcoming gameweek. One key topic was whether to take a four-point hit to secure a fit goalkeeper. Shand advised against it, emphasizing that goalkeeper points are unpredictable and that having 10 outfield players provides sufficient coverage. She recommended prioritizing outfield players over a goalkeeper transfer, especially in the short term. For budget keeper options, Shand suggested avoiding goalkeeper transfers this week, citing the limited value of such moves outside of a Wildcard. She highlighted Ekitike and Joao Pedro as strong alternatives, with the latter’s recent form giving him a slight edge. When asked about Adli versus Wilson or O’Reilly versus Hall, Shand recommended moving Adli for Wilson to improve long-term prospects, while O’Reilly could be reacquired later due to Manchester City’s double gameweek schedule. Players like Casemiro and Dango Ouattara were discussed as replacements for Dewsbury-Hall, with Shand leaning toward Casemiro due to existing Brentford players in the squad. She also mentioned Elliot Anderson as a potential addition. Anthony Gordon was analyzed as a potential captaincy option, despite his underperformance this season. Shand noted his high number of big chances and potential for a golden run of form, advising players to "jump on" him. For captaincy choices, Shand recommended Harry Wilson or Joao Pedro as alternatives to Bruno Fernandes, acknowledging Bournemouth’s defensive vulnerabilities. She also cautioned against using the Triple Captain chip on Wilson, suggesting it be reserved for premium players.#joao_pedro #fpl #anthony_gordon #holly_shand #ekitike

Best FPL Captain for Gameweek 30: Joao Pedro and Bruno Fernandes Lead the Charge Joao Pedro and Bruno Fernandes emerge as the top contenders for the FPL captaincy in Gameweek 30, outperforming Erling Haaland in both form and fixture suitability. Both players have home matches this weekend, facing Aston Villa and Newcastle United respectively, while Haaland and Manchester City are away to West Ham United. Their recent performances and strategic advantages make them strong choices for maximizing points. The recent managerial changes at Chelsea and Manchester United have significantly boosted Joao Pedro and Fernandes’ success. Over the past eight Gameweeks, Joao Pedro has scored 76 points, while Fernandes has accumulated 60, far surpassing Haaland’s 32. Joao Pedro’s consistency is highlighted by his only blank in that period, a match against Arsenal, where he netted eight goals and provided six assists. Fernandes’ 60 points are nearly double Haaland’s tally, showcasing his dominance. Joao Pedro’s teammate Cole Palmer has also thrived under new manager Liam Rosenior, ranking third in points scored with an average of 8.0 per match. Meanwhile, Manchester City’s Antoine Semenyo has overtaken Haaland as the team’s top Fantasy performer since joining, scoring 52 points and outperforming Haaland by 20 points. Semenyo’s advanced role as a forward has been crucial, with goals in his last two appearances. Analyzing attacking potential, Joao Pedro leads with 14 big chances over the past eight Gameweeks, the highest among all players. His 25 shots in the box also rank top during this period. Fernandes, while having fewer big chances of his own (three), has created 11 for his teammates, totaling 14 involvements—twice that of Haaland and Semenyo.#liverpool #erling_haaland #joao_pedro #tottenham_hotspur #bruno_fernandes
