First of all, congratulations if you took on board last week’s tips and brought in QPR and Aston Villa players. Absolutely sterling effort if you captained Charlie Austin, Christian Benteke or Matt Phillips.
For this gameweek you need to get rid of players from one side that are struggling in the relegation zone and consider two goalkeepers that are bargains for the final stretch of the season.
SELL QPR PLAYERS
If you have QPR players, you need to seriously consider selling them because they face Premiership leaders Chelsea this week. For the Hoops to even score is unlikely but for them to keep a clean sheet is practically impossible.
After this encounter they don’t have a match in GW33 and then the following three tricky fixtures:
Here are the three most popular QPR players that you should sell as soon as you can and consider replacing them with these fantasy options:
FW – Charlie Austin – 6.5m (Selected by 22.6%)
Replace him with either –
Bafetimbi Gomis (Swansea) 6.5m (Selected by 0.7%) or
Loic Remy (Chelsea) 7.1m (Selected by 2.6%)
Gomis has scored three in his last three games and with Everton (h), Leicester (a) and Newcastle (a) around the corner, it’s an ideal time to buy the France powerhouse. Whereas Remy could come up with the goods against his former side QPR in the absence of main man Diego Costa, who is expected to be out for two weeks.
DF – Steven Caulker – 4.6m (Selected by 5.2%)
Jeffrey Schlupp (Leicester City) – 4.5m (Selected by 0.9%) or
Eric Dier (Spurs) 4.6m (Selected by 11%)
Schlupp has been used primarily as a left winger for Leicester this season and is a bargain. Although the Foxes are struggling at the bottom of the league, they have some favourable fixtures and a double gameweek in a couple of weeks. Dier is another quality alternative as he is one man that Maurico Pochettino can rely on this season. He has started the last eight matches and earnt four bonus points in their most recent two games.
GK – Rob Green – 4.6m (Selected by 3.1%)
Look below for the two best options…
‘KEEPER CRISIS
If you want a cheap goalkeeper that will score you a consistent amount of points until the end of the seasonm, then here are the two options. Injuries have deprived both Southampton and West Brom of their regular stoppers leaving the goalkeeping duties up to two men:
GK- Kelvin Davis (Southampton) – 4.5m (Selected by 1.1%)
The 38-year-old will be goalkeeping for the best defence in the league until the end of the season. His selection rate is low so expect to make some money from purchasing him too.
GK – Boaz Myhill (West Brom)- 4.1m (Selected by 13.3%)
The ex-Hull City ‘keeper is a bargain and should earn some decent points in their next two fixtures against Leicester City (h) and Crystal Palace (a).
SAVE YOUR WILDCARD
In two weeks (Gameweek 34) there are four teams that have double gameweeks including Chelsea and Liverpool. This is the perfect time to use your wildcard for a flurry of points. Daniel Sturridge and Diego Costa should be fit and firing by then.
Team of the Week – if you could have any 11 for GW32…
