FPL Gameweek 27 Tips Last Minute

After the longest gameweek in fantasy history, the community return with their FPL Gameweek 27 tips.

There’s big news emerging for Manchester City and Heung-Min Son. What strategies should we implement?

Everton

Everton players are the wrong side of form and fixtures, as their torrid schedule comes just at the wrong time. FPL Swede crunches the numbers for the FPL Gameweek 27 tips. Who is worth sticking with and should we even consider a move for Richarlison or Dominic Calvert-Lewin?

Form over fixtures for Everton? (Thread) ?

With Everton having the worst fixtures in the league while at the same time being in great form it makes us managers wonder…

Should we transfer them in? Keep them if we already have them? Or even transfer them out…?⤵️#FPL pic.twitter.com/xrlE3drSjO

Value

Events over the last few weeks have seen the template value defenders fall out of favour, making our benches wafer thin at a crucial time. FPL Wolf provides us with the next bunch of value defenders, which is particularly helpful for those on wildcard.

⚠️Lundstram, Kelly replacements:

?Saiss – 4.4M
?Boly – 4.7M
▪️Taylor – 4.2M
▪️Lascelles – 4.2M
?Cathcart- 4.4M
It’s the season of value defenders! #FPL

Defenders

FPL Nick showcases the current in-form defenders when it comes to attacking returns Trent Alexander-Arnold is top of the pile, but Andrew Robertson is doing little to seduce us into spending more on him than Virgil Van Dijk and Joe Gomez.

Offensive returns from a defender the last 12 GWs:

TAA: 9
Baldock: 4
Stephens: 4
Pereira: 3
VVD: 3
Doherty: 3
Aurier: 3
Azpi: 3
Sidibe: 3
Mee: 2
Mustafi: 2
Webster: 2
Mings: 2
Rudiger: 2
Mina: 2
…
Robertson: 1

Still prefering him over Gomez or Mané? ?#FPL #FPLCommunity

Liverpool

Those rolling with a double Liverpool defence for the remainder of the season ought to consider a three way rotation for their third defender each week. The Editor uses the powerful Fantasy Football Fix algorithm to showcase the best trio.

If you plan to play 2x 'Pool defenders for the rest of the season, then it looks like you should be recruiting Boly (4.7), Taylor (4.2) & Lascelles (4.2) according to our Rotation Planner

Rotate 1 from 3. The avg. goals conceded they'll face is 1.07 goals per game. 9/12 at home pic.twitter.com/xUkJWZg4wX

Advice

Andy Martin returns with his three pieces of advice for the FPL Gameweek 27 tips. The captaincy looks to be an easy one, with Liverpool facing West Ham, but is Danny Ings being overlooked at home to Aston Villa?

3 Tips for GW27.

1. Feels like the wrong time to be using any chips. I can understand why those that Wildcarded recently want to use BB but I would still wait.

2. Captain Mane or Salah.

3. Loading up on Wolves assets is a good strategy. Good fixtures and don’t blank yet.

Captains

Legomane looks long-term with captaincy options from now until the end of the season. It’s Liverpool assets that dominate this weekend, but gains could be made by considering Aubameyang, Martial or Jimenez.
