Fantasy Football Tips For GW15: Big Man Bakar Answers More Questions
Respected Fantasy Football tips judge, Big Man Bakar throws out eight more big questions that would have been pondered by many ahead of Gameweek 15.
You can then use his Fantasy Football Tips to help enhance your squads and give you an edge on the other teams in your FPL football leagues.
Q) What to do with Mbeumo?
Who are the best replacements is the first of my Fantasy Football tips this weekend?
Mbeumo has blanked in four out of the previous five fixtures, so is on the chopping block for plenty of FPL managers this week.
The worrying part is that his underlying data has completely dropped off in recent weeks. However, he’s still accumulating a solid expected goal involvements per 90 over a larger sample size this season, so is probably still OK to keep this week.
In my opinion, he’s a tough sell as he’s the penalty taking talisman for his team and is likely to start all the games in December.
I think it makes sense to hold him for one more week, since both the potential replacements, Eberechi Eze and Antoine Semenyo, have similar points potential this week.
Q) Trent worth buying this week?
Trent is probably the best defender to own in the game at this point.
He is first for expected goal involvement (xGI) among defenders and is playing in a defence that is comfortably the best for fewest expected goals conceded (xGC) this season.
The long-term fixtures are pretty good from this point, so I think he’s a nice set and forget option to have in place from now on in.
Q) Gabriel – keep or sell?
Gabriel is a doubt this week but I’m happy to keep him since he is a good long term pick. Arsenal’s impressive data coupled with Gabriel’s goal threat makes him an easy hold.
Q) Gvardiol – keep or sell?
I’d keep Gvardiol. His attacking numbers are through the roof and he is expected to start the upcoming fixtures, most of which are favourable.
Q) Sell Bruno Fernandes for Saka this week?
Saka is obviously preferable over the long term due to his fixtures, but Bruno is by no means a “must-sell”. Both have similar points potential this week, I wouldn’t make the move.
Q) Who is the best Fantasy football tips captain this week?
I think this is a fairly straightforward one this week. Mohamed Salah will be my captain, given his incredible run of form and the appealing fixture.
Cole Palmer (£11.0m) is a strong alternative and should be in consideration for those willing to go different.
I don’t think I have it in me to back against Salah though, especially after what happened in midweek.
Q) Raul Jimenez – keep or sell?
Jimenez dropping out of the Fulham team is a big concern in the next of my Fantasy Football tips.
Whether or not to sell him this week depends on your team structure.
If you have seven good attackers to fill in for his absence in the next two Gameweeks, then he’s probably worth keeping as you can assess his minutes in the coming weeks before taking a decision on whether or not to offload him.
If you don’t have the luxury of a strong eighth attacker, then Raul has to go.
Q) Dominic Solanke – keep or sell?
Solanke’s output has dropped off in recent weeks but for most teams, I believe there should be bigger fires to put out. Given the packed fixture list, Solanke is a strong hold and rates one of my best Fantasy Football tips on Gameweek 15.
Spurs are ranked in the top five teams for expected goals (xG) this season, with Solanke right up there among the league’s top forwards in the xG charts.
He’s completely nailed for starts and should be a 90 minute man on most days.
