Plenty of fantasy managers will be making a move towards three Manchester City attackers this week. It’s one of the main talking points on the latest episode of the FPL Surgery podcast, who have another special guest this week.

Chips

There’s only three gameweek’s left. That means that the clock is ticking on using those chips, and as the opportunities subside, many will be asking whether to Free Hit this week or in Gameweek 38. Shiva decides.

FH36(?) vs FH38(?) –

?Do a draft for GW36 and see how many different players you’ll pick who are not in your current squad, if more than 4-5, go for it.

?Do not save FH for GW38 only based on possible team leaks. Remember @FPL_Rockstar confirmed he’d not be giving…(1/4)

Matrix

Figuring out which Manchester City assets will play the most minutes in their final three Premier League games is a big headache. Legomane attempts to make sense of the infamous Pep rotation in this latest matrix.

Survival

One surprise from the weekend was the renewed energy of the teams fighting for survival. We saw all four picking up three points, with some impressive goal scoring too. The relegation race could go right to the wire.

4 teams fighting for survival…

? Aston Villa
? Bournemouth
? Watford
⚒ West Ham

GWs 30-34 2 wins out of 25 between them. 14 goals scored

GW35 4 wins out of 4. 12 goals scored

Injuries

Finally, Ben Dinnery gives us another injury update ahead of the deadline. One of the big talking points, is that an already struggling Bournemouth defence look to be without Ake for the Manchester City fixture. Az is interested!

Howe the injury suffered by Nathan Ake: "It looks like a groin pull [it's] difficult to say too much at this early stage but certainly with time running out in the season, he might not play again."
