Players to Stick With or Twist for FPL GW20

This blog is written by @Omar_fpl_ (overall rank 308 in the 19/20 season). Omar writes the Captaincy article for Allaboutfpl and has begun with the new stick or twist series. You can find more of his work here. Do give him a follow on Twitter at @Omar_fpl_
Lots of players have disappointed us in the past few weeks, other players are injured, and I am here to help you choose which player should
you stick to and which should twist with some possible replacements for those you are selling.

Injured Players Ahead of FPL GW20:

KDB injured ahead of FPL GW20
KDB could be out for 6 weeks

KDB and Vardy are both injured for around 6 gameweeks and could be even more. A must sell putting their price into perspective, KDB is
the second-highest priced midfielder cheaper than Salah while Vardy is the second-highest priced attacker cheaper than Kane. Leaving lots of options for us to choose from.

Possible KDB and Vardy replacements at a similar price for FPL GW20

Son and Kane

Son and Kane FPL GW20

Safest options, highly owned.

LIV (H) BHU(A) CHE(H), fixture proof, but won’t be a captain option except for that Brighton game, potential DGW coming up.

Raheem Sterling

Sideway move, differential 6.1% owned,

Perfect fixtures WBA(A) SHU(H) BUR(A), captain option in each of them. Disadvantage: Misses a lot of chances, Pep roulette, might be rested for a game in that run, expensive, KDB is injured, so fewer chances, cheaper replacements.

Bruno: best option if you don’t own, but you probably own him.

Aubameyang

Scored a brace last game, 11 shots in the box last 4 games, differential 7.2%, Arsenal are inform, fixtures are tough SOU(A) MUN(H) WOL(A), could be a good punt, but a lot of uncertainties.

Dominic Calvert Lewin:

LEI(H)NEW(H)LEE(A) great fixtures, a lot of active teams don’t own him, Everton main players are back from injury.

Ings: back from injury, he is a great player, not the best fixtures with Arsenal, Aston Villa and Manchester United.

Bamford and Raphinha

Leeds are out of form, they haven’t scored in the last 3 games. Bamford has had 5 shots on target last 2 PL fixtures and he is on pens until he misses one, so stick. Raphinha has had only one shot which was on target last 2 games and one big chance created. NEW(A)LEI(A)EVE(H)CRY(H) are up next, for Raphinha I would start him against Newcastle and sell him after that if he doesn’t come good.

Mo Salah

Transferring him out doesn’t seem like the right move with the mess going on right now especially when he is the first penalty taker.
Salah’s XG has decreased from the last 4 game weeks than the 4 gameweeks before but touches in the box, shots in the box, and big chances all increased. Shots on target decreased significantly. He has the same amount of shots, but now he is not hitting the target. I say stick and wish for him to bring back form as Liverpool need to bounce back.

Thomas Soucek

No shots in the double gameweek. I don’t think the return of Antonio is the reason as he had 3 goals in 10 games when Antonio started during
project restart. If you are keeping him as bench fodder of course keep him, but if you are starting him week in week out, I would give him the
Crystal Palace game as last chance. Players showing up at the same price like Gundogan providing form, fixtures, and penalties. I don’t expect Gundogan to fully explode, so if you’re selling Soucek for a hit don’t, it should be 3 points loss maximum, but for a free transfer, I will do Soucek>Gundogan.

Liverpool defenders

Liverpool are out of form, they have conceded 8 big chances last 6 games which were relatively easy, tough fixtures coming up, so I would sell any Liverpool defender bar Robertson and would even sell him if it’s the
only way to get a City defender. fixtures up next TOT(A)WHU(A)BHU(H)MCI(H).

Callum Wilson

The Newcastle talisman is 20.3% owned from the whole game, his next fixture against Leeds is promising would keep him for that then sell
right away, 3 shots on target last 5 weeks one penalty goal.
Possible replacement: Antonio: great form and nice next five fixtures.
DCL and Ings as written for Vardy.

Pascal Strujik

He lost his place now Phillips is back, Leeds defense is awful anyway. Upgrading him to Justin, City defender, or Digne.

Stuart Dallas

Leeds defense is from the worst in PL and his attacking threat has significantly decreased. The heat maps show that from the last two PL
games, you might only give him a chance against Newcastle if you have other priorities.

Chelsea

Form is awful, but Chelsea have to bounce back. James didn’t play well last game and Azpuliqueta is waiting, so sell James and Zouma for that uncertainty although Rudiger didn’t perform and he might find himself in the starting XI next GW. Chilwell is nailed and he has attacking threat fixtures are tasty WOL(H), BUR(H), TOT(A), SHU(A), NEW(H) so keep Chilwell. If you own a Chelsea attacker sell him.

Che Adams:

He is out of form, fixtures aren’t great either, he also played the FA cup game, with only two shots on target last 4 games. Other options are better
would sell for Antonio or DCL Other players I didn’t mention you can get:

Barnes and Maddison:

Both are in great form , Leicester upcoming fixtures are great too ,but I would wait and see the Everton game to decide which one is better
and if Vardy’s absence affects one of those players and them get the best one of them for the Leeds game and the games after, I currently
prefer Barnes.

Ademola Lookman

BHA WBA LEI WHU EVE SHU as his next six fixtures. He has 13 shots 5 on target last 5 appearances one was off the bench, with 6 key passes and 1 big chance created.

Jack Grealish

Great fixtures until GW30, Barkley is back now, so Grealish will play in the place where he gets most returns, he offers a great value for his price, and with ElGhazi back on the bench penalty taker is unknown right now could be Grealish or Barkley, he is also highly owned so bringing him in is definitely the right call if you’re looking to maintain your rank.
