Last Minute Gameweek 18 Tips

It’s the first Blank Gameweek of the season, as the community prepare their Gameweek 18 tips.

There’s no fixture for Liverpool or West Ham, with Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne dominating the transfers in.

Pulisic

With five consecutive blanks, many managers are looking to move on Christian Pulisic. The underlying statistics remain promising, but it’s an in-form Spurs up next. FPL Asian provides some replacements for the Gameweek 18 tips.

Maupay

Neal Maupay has caught the eye with three consecutive goals. He comes in at a budget price and is somewhat a differential. FPL Swede provides all of the key analysis of his output for the coming run of fixtures.

NEAL MAUPAY (Thread) ?

The most inform forward in the league while still being owned by less than 2% of managers?

I will explain why Maupay might be the perfect budget differential striker that you are looking for to climb the ranks…?#FPL #FPLCommunity pic.twitter.com/z33QDvanYc

Captains

It’s the most wide open captaincy of the season so far. With Liverpool’s blank, and tough fixtures for many, the pool is small. Fantasy Football Pundits provide the poll for the Gameweek 18 tips.

Richarlison

Richarlison has been in fantastic form in recent weeks, with three goals in his last four games. Up next is a weak Arsenal defence, who have a whole host of issues within their flanks. FPL Football Advice provides an informative thread for the Gameweek 18 tips.

?? Richarlison thread ?

The 7th highest scoring midfielder, yet Richarlison hasn’t even come close to a 10% ownership this season.

For us, he is one of our main targets this weekend, here’s why… ⤵️#FPL #FPLCommunity #Richarlison pic.twitter.com/wFwXGMFhsz

Everton

Another manager considering Everton assets is fan The FPL Prince. Carlo Ancelotti looks set to take over the managers job at Goodison Park, and could be in the dugout as soon as Gameweek 18. Check out the analysis across the Toffees squad.

Wildcard

There’s just a couple of days left to play the first wildcard. FPL Heisenberg provides his tips on players to select for the next couple of games, to set managers up nicely for a Christmas or New Year wildcard. Use it or lose it.

Unfortunately I couldn't appear on @ffh_podcast this week as planned. ?

I was looking forward to talking about players to target for those who still have their first Wildcard to use. ?

The only fixtures to consider are just the next two, GW18/GW19.

Goalkeepers

FPL Jeb has provided a fantastic infographic for the Gameweek 18 tips. Up first it’s goalkeepers: now could be the time to make a goalkeeper transfer, especially those using a wildcard soon. Ramsdale leads the way, but Schmeichel has the performance points.

Where do Goalkeepers get their points from this season in @OfficialFPL?

I decided to look into the data and will share the results in this thread.

Spurs

Spurs midfielders are hugely popular this week, with many managers considering a double up on both Son and Alli. There are convincing arguments for both, and some are even coming under consideration for the armband. The Tinker Men provide the key statistics.

Not much between Son and Alli since Mourinho has taken charge

▪️Both players scored all of their big chances
▪️Son with 3 double digit hauls to Alli's 1
▪️Son has 2 blanks to Alli's 1
▪️Alli has a higher xG over the 5GWs

©️ Are you thinking of captaining either? pic.twitter.com/HZSg3sQmky
