Fantasy Strategy.

Repetition of certain behaviors robs us of new experiences and keeps us down. This season I’ve been experimenting with swapping premium players for short-term gains. Who’s your top captain pick GW13?

GW12 Review.

GW12 points: 51PTS (AVG 51). Upper 90 Studios dropped around 50k places in the Overall Rank which I can accept considering the aftermath! 👇

1. I nearly brought in Mane for a hit and captained him instead of Salah.
2. I had none of the top-scoring players Martinez (11PTS), Justin (11PTS) or Vardy (13PTS).

Plan A vs. Plan B.

It all came down to two transfer plans last week. Plan A was to do nothing and bank the free transfer. This kept De Bruyne against United, Salah captain.

Plan B was to sell KDB for Mane captain in a short-term gamble. The problem was it required a -4 hit to sell KDB only to bring him right back the following week for West Brom. Mane ended up blanking against Fulham, Salah scored a penalty (16PTS, captain).

Check out the points swing.

Plan A: Salah (c) 16 + KDB 3 = 19
Plan B: Mane (c) 4 + Salah 8 = 12 -4 = 8

Plan B required an additional transfer, Jamal Lewis (1PT) in place of Lamptey who didn’t play. Lewis was subbed after conceding and being booked. He’s now on four yellow cards for the season, one away from a ban. Matt Ritchie played the full game on the left wing which affected Lewis’s scoring potential and could increase the risk of rotation as we head into the busy fixture period. Even after adding the point for Lewis, Plan A still scored 10 points higher… with KDB set for GW13 and 2FTs.

The Results.

Edouard Mendy (3PTS). As mentioned on the previous video, I was taken back by how Mendy slid into Bamford. He risked being sent off as the last man! This time he barged into Calvert-Lewin conceding an early penalty. The resulting goal turned out to be the match winner for Everton.

Mo Salah (16PTS, captain). A quiet individual and team performance. Salah had just one chance in the first half with a quick turn and shot in the box. His only other contribution was to score the penalty. Fulham were denied their own penalty and nearly came away with all three points.

Kevin De Bruyne (3PTS). Strange tactics from Guardiola in the worst game of the season. KDB looked sharp whenever he had the ball, but those moments didn’t come often as he was too high up the pitch, disconnected from the rest of the team. Despite his weird new role, KDB had two excellent chances to score and faces West Brom at home next.

Calvert-Lewin (5PTS). Fantastic team performance and crucial three points against Chelsea. Calvert-Lewin was actually brought down in the box for a penalty twice! Luckily for Chilwell, the second was overturned by VAR for offside in the buildup. DCL faces Leicester next who will be without influential central defender Jonny Evans through suspension.

Kane (9PTS) and Son (5PTS). Kane was fortunate that his shot from distance was misjudged by Guaita, but he nearly added a second in the first half with a header from a Son corner. He was also denied by a brilliant Guaita save late in the game. Liverpool next, is it time to sell Son and Kane?

GW13 Top Cheats.

Bruno Fernandes (3PTS). Premium player roulette! A short-term gamble on Fernandes GW9-GW10 produced two goals, an assist and 21 points. Since I sold him GW11-GW12, just one assist. ❌ The truth is Fernandes changed the game against the Hammers and he was the most dangerous man on the pitch in the Manchester Derby. Next up, Sheffield United who are rock bottom with one point from twelve games. GW13 captain?

James Justin (11PTS) and Jamie Vardy (13PTS) were outstanding against Brighton. Justin had endless energy on the right always looking for a cross into the box. Vardy showed his predatory instinct with a goal and two assists to Maddison.

Che Adams (8PTS) and Danny Ings (5PTS). Commanding 3-0 win against Sheffield United. Adams and Ings are on my Watchlist, but I may wait until after GW14 when they face an improved Manchester City defense. That’s if I drop any of my current forwards! They’re all excellent. 🙂

Sadio Mane (2PTS). I can’t remember a single chance against Fulham which is a testament to their improvement in all areas of the pitch. The best defense is a good offense. When teams attack effectively, opponents second guess whether to venture high up the pitch and take risks.

Antonee Robinson (2PTS) and Ivan Cavaleiro (2PTS). Robinson was the best fullback/wingback on the pitch. To be fair, Alexander-Arnold is still regaining full fitness after injury… no excuses for Robertson! 🙂 Cavaleiro was brought down in the box for a penalty which wasn’t given. His composure in the decisive moments will be put to the test against a shaky Brighton defense GW13.

GW13 Transfers

Transfers: 2

Transfers OUT: Mendy, Salah ❌
Transfers IN: Martinez, Fernandes (c) ✅

*Two free transfers used and I’m considering an additional move to drop Lamptey for a hit. (EDIT: Leaning toward holding Lamptey as the next two fixtures are favorable)

Mendy to Martinez.

Edouard Mendy (3PTS). To continue using Mendy as a differential, he must have equal or greater points potential than highly-owned goalkeepers in the #Elite64 league (stats below).

Emi Martinez (11PTS). When his defenders force low-percentage shots from distance, Martinez’s calm presence can result in double digit hauls. Fixtures also factored in this move. Villa’s next three opponents are Burnley, West Brom and Crystal Palace.

⚽️ Emi Martinez is selected by more than half the managers in the #Elite64. (26% overall)

Salah to Fernandes.

Mo Salah (8PTS). Tottenham are difficult to break down and offer a threat on the counter under Mourinho, which means Klopp has to find the right balance. Liverpool are dealing with injuries in key positions… I’m taking a chance on a new premium attacker GW13-GW14.

Bruno Fernandes (3PTS). Sheffield United looked dejected against Southampton, lacking desire at both ends of the pitch. Assuming Anthony Martial is fit, he combines well with Fernandes and takes pressure off Rashford as the central striker. But the key could be Pogba. His presence allows Fernandes to play a free role and create chances.

Captain.

Bruno Fernandes is currently set as captain in the last match of GW13, Son vice captain. It would normally be easy to captain or vice-captain De Bruyne against West Brom, but I’m drawn by Son against Liverpool. Son’s pace with Kane’s vision is the perfect matchup against a high defensive line struggling with injuries to van Dijk, Matip and Joe Gomez.
