What's Happening?
Fantasy Premier League managers are reconsidering their strategies regarding forwards Joao Pedro and Viktor Gyokeres, who have struggled in recent gameweeks. Both players have been popular choices, with
Joao Pedro owned by 58% and Gyokeres by 23% of managers. However, their recent performances have led to significant sales, with Joao Pedro experiencing 291,000 sales and Gyokeres 220,000. The Scout suggests that managers might benefit from replacing these players with in-form forwards like Nick Woltemade and Jean-Philippe Mateta, who have shown promising statistics and favorable upcoming fixtures.
Why It's Important?
The decision to sell Joao Pedro and Gyokeres reflects broader trends in Fantasy Premier League, where managers must adapt to players' form and fixture difficulty. The shift towards Woltemade and Mateta indicates a strategic move to capitalize on their recent performances and upcoming matches. This change could impact the overall dynamics of Fantasy teams, influencing league standings and individual manager success. The analysis of big chances and player involvement provides valuable insights for managers aiming to optimize their squads.
What's Next?
Managers are advised to consider upcoming fixtures and player statistics when making decisions. Joao Pedro and Gyokeres have favorable matches ahead, but their recent form suggests caution. Woltemade and Mateta present strong alternatives, with Woltemade facing Fulham and Mateta against Arsenal. The Scout recommends prioritizing Woltemade as a replacement for Joao Pedro, given Fulham's recent defensive struggles. Managers should monitor player performances closely, as the Fantasy Premier League season progresses and new opportunities arise.
