Saving the Triple Captain is an option, but with other chips to consider and a limited number of weeks, it feels right to play it now.<\/p>\n<p>Given the uncertainty around another Liverpool double, I want to make sure I use it on Salah this season.<\/p>\n<p>With the best xGi in the league and playing for the highest xG team, he\u2019s earned the trust for the chip.<\/p>\n<p>Tricky fixtures? Sure. But Salah has already proven himself, scoring 10 and 18 points away to Arsenal and Newcastle this season.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-13900\"

Spurs being rescheduled in Gameweek 25 seem slim, so it&#8217;s also probably wise to save the Assistant Manager chip for later.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve also already tripled up on Liverpool, so using the Assistant Manager chip doesn\u2019t suit me as I\u2019d ideally want to play it on Arne Slot.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, it\u2019s not easy to call how Liverpool\u2019s fixtures will play out, with Bournemouth unbeaten in 11 Premier League games and the Merseyside derby a potential banana skin.<\/p>\n<p>I believe there should be better opportunities to deploy the Assistant Manager chip later, with some teams still fighting and others already in holiday mode.<\/p>\n<p>A scenario similar to Olivier Glasner\u2019s last season could unfold, bringing big points late on.<\/p>\n<h4>Q) Should the Assistant Manager chip be used if triple captain is not available?<\/h4>\n<p>I would probably lean against it, due to the reasons mentioned above.<\/p>\n<h4>Q) Best Assistant Manager to use this week?<\/h4>\n<p>I&#8217;d argue Slot is the best one to go for.<\/p>\n<p>Moyes with the table bonus could be nice but the Liverpool fixture is enough to put me off.<\/p>\n<p>Marco Silva in Gameweek 25 would be where I&#8217;d go next, with the table bonus against Forest in play.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-31347\"

at home, so that should be a fixture where I&#8217;d expect the Assistant Manager to get good points.<\/p>\n<p>Gameweek 26 is tricky to call &#8211; but Van Nistelrooy against a Brentford side that doesn&#8217;t travel well or Arteta at home to Leicester could work well.<\/p>\n<h4>Q) Which Liverpool players are best to own?<\/h4>\n<p>Salah obviously picks himself while Trent is also a nice set and forget option to have in place from now on in.<\/p>\n<p>I think the best third Liverpool player depends a lot on your team structure.<\/p>\n<p>Owning double Liverpool defence or double Liverpool attack should both yield dividends, but which one you pick should depend on your team.<\/p>\n<p>For example, double Arsenal defence owners have a natural route to double Liverpool defence while Solanke\/Wood owners have an easier route to Gakpo &#8211; both are perfectly viable.<\/p>\n<h4>Q) Should those with double Liverpool defence look to swap for Gakpo?<\/h4>\n<p>Although many are jumping on Gakpo, those of us with double Liverpool defence shouldn\u2019t sway from our plan.<\/p>\n<p>FOMO can cloud judgment, and selling Liverpool assets at this stage feels like a waste.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-15864\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/Cody-Gakpo-560x378.jpg\"

1409w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I still think doubling up on Liverpool\u2019s defence is a strategy that will pay off.<\/p>\n<p>Despite a lack of recent defensive returns, Liverpool\u2019s xGC remains the best in the league, and with a double Gameweek and a home match against Wolves to come, Liverpool&#8217;s defence remains a solid option.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, bookmakers rate Liverpool as the most likely team to keep at least one clean sheet this week and in Gameweek 25.<\/p>\n<h4>Q) Which\/how many Everton players should we consider?<\/h4>\n<p>With Dominic Calvert-Lewin sidelined, Ndiaye is likely to be Everton\u2019s top attacking option.<\/p>\n<p>Ndiaye may not be the most exciting pick, but he ticks plenty of important boxes.<\/p>\n<p>With a low price, penalty duties, a double Gameweek fixture against Leicester, and a solid Blank Gameweek 29 fixture at home to West Ham, he looks like a shrewd pick.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"

poor return in the double won&#8217;t be a major issue, as he can easily be benched as the eighth attacker in the upcoming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Pickford looks like the best route into Everton\u2019s defence ahead of the double Gameweek.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s not just valuable for the double but also has a favourable home fixture against West Ham in Blank Gameweek 29.<\/p>\n<p>Sitting 8th in the league for xG conceded, Everton\u2019s matches have typically been low-scoring this season.<\/p>\n<p>What helps Pickford is that he accumulates BPS more quickly than the Everton defenders.<\/p>\n<p>Pickford benefits from saves, whereas Everton\u2019s defenders often fall short of the successful pass completion % needed for BPS.<\/p>\n<p>Mykolenko, Tarkowski and O&#8217;Brien could be nice enablers as well, but I wouldn&#8217;t go out of my way to buy them unless you need to buy a cheap defender.<\/p>\n<h4>Q) Plan for DCL and Raul owners?<\/h4>\n<p>Selling Raul should be an easy decision \u2014 Fulham\u2019s best fixtures are behind them, and his early substitutions have been a concern.<\/p>\n<p>DCL also needs to make way, and Ndiaye is the perfect budget-friendly replacement.<\/p>\n<h4>Q) Sell Raya for Pickford?<\/h4>\n<p>I think I would.<\/p>\n<p>I expect him to run Raya close till the second time we Wildcard.<\/p>\n<p>Pickford has the extra fixture, will benefit from save points and save you some cash.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-14992\"

week?<\/h4>\n<p>If there is one player outside the doublers that you should be buying this week, it has to be Mbeumo.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d argue Mbeumo is now close to being a must-have in teams from this point onwards.<\/p>\n<p>Brentford\u2019s next three opponents\u2014Spurs, West Ham, and Leicester\u2014are all among the bottom-half teams for xG conceded this season.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that Mbeumo consistently gets close to 90 minutes is a thing of beauty and with the fixtures ahead, it&#8217;s difficult to see him not performing well.<\/p>\n<h4>Q) Sell Gordon for Mbeumo?<\/h4>\n<p>Gordon is a good asset to keep as he has a good fixture this week but if given the option, I would sell for Mbeumo.<\/p>\n<p>Mbeumo has arguably even a better fixture and will play in Gameweek 29, which is likely to be a blank for Gordon.<\/p>\n<h4>Q) Sell Eze for Mbeumo?<\/h4>\n<p>Thoughts are very similar to above. Good asset to keep but would prefer Mbeumo instead.<\/p>\n<p>Eze is also likely to blank in Gameweek 29.<\/p>\n<h4>Q) Sell Odegaard for Mbeumo?<\/h4>\n<p>Again a good asset to keep with good fixtures ahead but would prefer Mbeumo if given the choice.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-29722 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/mbeumovilla-560x374.jpg\" alt=\"Mbeumo\" width=\"560\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/mbeumovilla-560x374.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/mbeumovilla-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/mbeumovilla-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/mbeumovilla.jpg 820w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Q) Joao Pedro &#8211; keep or sell?<\/h4>\n<p>I plan on keeping Joao Pedro in my team.<\/p>\n<p>He has blanked in recent weeks but I believe he&#8217;s still a good asset to have.<\/p>\n<p>His low cost, penalty-taking role, and assured minutes make a strong case for giving him an extended run.<\/p>\n<h4>Q) Would you rather sell Wood or Joao Pedro?<\/h4>\n<p>I&#8217;d sell Wood. The fixtures after this week are challenging, and he&#8217;s significantly more expensive than Pedro.<\/p>\n<h4>Q) Bruno Fernandes &#8211; keep or sell? Sell Bruno Fernandes for Mbeumo?<\/h4>\n<p>Fernandes has blown hot and cold over the past few weeks, but is still worth keeping in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>The uncertainty over his positioning isn\u2019t ideal, but managers will be keen to see him play more offensively than he did against Fulham.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10042\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-29-at-19.01.47-560x343.jpg\" alt=\"FPL Bakar Gameweek 24\" width=\"560\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-29-at-19.01.47-560x343.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-29-at-19.01.47-924x567.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-29-at-19.01.47-350x215.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-29-at-19.01.47-768x471.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-29-at-19.01.47.jpg 926w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that from Gameweek 27, United\u2019s schedule is excellent, with Ipswich at home and Leicester in Blank Gameweek 29.<\/p>\n<p>That might be a time where a lot of FPL managers are looking to buy Fernandes, so it could be nice holding on to him in order to save future transfers later.<\/p>\n<p>I would find another route to Mbeumo.<\/p>\n<h4>Q) Can Gabriel be sold this week?<\/h4>\n<p>If you have no other route to a Liverpool defender, then I&#8217;d sell.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s a nice player to retain, considering the upcoming fixtures look much better.<\/p>\n<h4>Q) Bournemouth midfielders worth considering? Who is the best one to own?<\/h4>\n<p>We will be talking a lot about Bournemouth in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>As Bournemouth\u2019s fixtures ease post-Gameweek 25, owning one of their attackers\u2014and perhaps doubling up\u2014could be a solid play.<\/p>\n<p>My pick of the bunch is Dango, who is a \u00a35.0m nailed-on midfield enabler playing as a forward in a team ranked fourth for xG this season.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s currently owned by close to just 1% of FPL managers so could be an excellent differential going forward.<\/p>\n<p>In his last three games, he\u2019s had four attacking returns, playing a full 90 minutes in all of them.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s difficult to imagine him being dropped with the form he\u2019s in.<\/p>\n<h4>Q) Should we get Wissa?<\/h4>\n<p>I&#8217;d expect Wissa to do well in the coming weeks but I&#8217;d opt for Ndiaye at this point if given the choice because of the double Gameweek.<\/p>\n<p>Mbeumo should be more of a priority since there are not too many viable midfielders who double this week.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-23345\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/Yoane-Wissa-and-Bryan-Mbeumo-Brentford-560x373.jpg\" alt=\"Yoane Wissa\" width=\"560\" height=\"373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/Yoane-Wissa-and-Bryan-Mbeumo-Brentford-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/Yoane-Wissa-and-Bryan-Mbeumo-Brentford-924x615.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/Yoane-Wissa-and-Bryan-Mbeumo-Brentford-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/Yoane-Wissa-and-Bryan-Mbeumo-Brentford-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/Yoane-Wissa-and-Bryan-Mbeumo-Brentford.jpg 1428w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Unlike midfielders, the forwards feature Ndiaye as a Wissa alternative.<\/p>\n<h4>Q) Best time to Free Hit\/rough plan for chip strategy later?<\/h4>\n<p>I plan on saving my Free Hit for the blank in Gameweek 34, as I believe that the blank in Gameweek 29 should be quite manageable.<\/p>\n<p>If you have saved transfers in recent weeks and not heavily loaded up on Newcastle, Palace, or Villa, you&#8217;ve given yourself an easier route through Blank Gameweek 29 without needing to burn a chip.<\/p>\n<p>Even with heavy Newcastle or Palace investment, five more free transfers before Blank Gameweek 29 will give you ample time to adjust.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m happy to wait for the EFL Cup semi finals to conclude before being set on a more comprehensive chip strategy as information will drive my decision.<\/p>\n<p>As well as Bakar&#8217;s FPL Gameweek 24 tips, you can find more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/fantasy-premier-league\/\">Fantasy Premier League<\/a> articles here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re after FPL tips for Gameweek 24 then look no further as Big Man Bakar answers all your questions, providing his expert analysis once again.
