Braving the Flags – FPL Predicted Points for ‘Injured’ Players
FPL predicted points for the ‘injured’ players below includes the likelihood of goals, assists and clean sheets (varying points for each apart from Isak), minus the probability of a yellow card.
It does not factor in bonus points, while it assumes – if fit to play - each of the players will pass 60 minutes to collect the two appearance points.
| Player (Match) | Predicted Points |
|---|---|
| Isak (CRY Home) | 4.21 |
| Saka (CHE Away) | 4.03 |
| Saliba (CHE Away) | 3.64 |
| Mitoma (MCI Away) | 3.34 |
FPL Injury News
FPL Heisenberg Verdict: Hold Saka and Saliba if you own them and if you have good bench cover. Arsenal's fixtures from GW10 onwards are really nice, so you'll want Arsenal players in your squad.
As always with doubtful players do your research, check what the managers say in press conferences and see if any training pictures emerge to give you a better idea of their availability.
FPL Enablers – Who is the best budget midfield option?
Pedro Neto and Hwang Hee-chan are popular 'enablers' in midfield ahead of Wolves' GW9 trip to Bournemouth. Could another defeat spell the end for Cherries boss Andoni Iraola? He is the second favourite in the sack race behind Sheffield United’s Paul Heckingbottom.
| Player (Match) | Goal | Assist | Goal Contribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gordon (CRY Home) | 32.3% | 20% | 52.3% |
| Neto (BOU Away) | 23.1% | 18.2% | 41.3% |
| Hwang (BOU Away) | 23.1% | 16.7% | 39.8% |
| Jensen (BUR Home) | 13.3% | 20% | 33.3% |
| Soucek (AVL Away) | 10.5% | 12.5% | 23% |
Best Budget Enablers for FPL
FPL Heisenberg Verdict: All of the budget midfielders above are decent picks that enable you to get the premiums in. If I had to pick one I'd go for Neto, but it depends how much money you need to free up. Soucek could be the best option if you need extra money and he has a decent fixture run.
