Attention all FPL managers! Are you ready to dominate gameweek 18? Let's dive into some expert tips to help you make those crucial decisions.
The Big Red Machine
Liverpool is on a roll, and with their recent wins and a red-hot striker, Hugo Ekitike, they're a force to be reckoned with. But here's where it gets controversial: should you load up on Liverpool players? With their upcoming match against Wolves, who are having a disastrous season, it might be a no-brainer. However, it's a delicate balance, especially if you're managing your transfers wisely.
Arsenal's Defensive Masterclass
And this is the part most people miss: Arsenal's defense has been on fire! With Gabriel's injury, they've adapted and maintained their clean sheet record. Arsenal's backline is a solid choice, especially against Brighton, who've struggled to find the net recently.
Captain's Armband: Ekitike's Time to Shine
Hugo Ekitike, the man in form, gets the captain's armband this week. Why? Well, he's facing a struggling Wolves side, has an undisputed starting spot, and his recent goal-scoring streak is simply unstoppable.
Other Key Picks
- Mason Mount: With Bruno Fernandes out, Mount steps up for Manchester United. His creative prowess, especially on set-pieces, could be a game-changer.
- Florian Wirtz: Wirtz is due for a haul, and a home match against Wolves is the perfect opportunity.
- Morgan Rogers: Rogers' form is exceptional, and he's Villa's go-to man for goals.
A Word of Caution
While these picks are based on current FPL prices and a £100m budget, it's always a gamble. Remember, football is unpredictable, and these suggestions are just a guide.
