It was a good week for La France, which had N'Golo Kante crowned the greatest player in the Prem and elected someone who wasn't a giant racist. And progressiveness is indeed the name of the game for Gameweek 37. With just two weeks left and wildcards being liberally applied, tidy tinkers as opposed to wholesale whack-a-mole should be your MO. So here are some fine ass tweaks you can make to your line-up - nothing drastic - just the píéce dé résístáncé to put the créme párfait on your season's gateau.
LE CAPITAINE
Eden Hazard (10.6) -- Chelsea | WBA (A) & WAT (H)
Whilst it's his teammate Francaise N'golo who's picking up the official gongs, it will be Belgian fountain pissér drowning in FPL points this weekend.
Eden has only blanked in 2 of his past 9 matches so is a pretty safe bet to come away from two cake walk fixtures with at least a handful of macaroons.
The Pen is not mightier than the Macaroon
And after Alexis Sanchez [ruined my life] [only came good in one of two fixtures] [wasn't quite the triple captain I expected], it's time to place your FPL destiny in the hands of a man who won't let you down, plays for the winning team, and doesn't want a Burka ban*.
*There is no evidence whatsoever that Sanchez supports a Burka ban. He does, however, feel passionate about blanking in three consecutive fixtures at the CRUCIAL FUCKING POINT OF THE SEASON. Dickhead.
BUY LOW
Pedro Rodríguez Ledesma (6.8) -- Chelsea | WBA (A) & WAT (H)
The great thing about diminutive Spaniards is that no-one ever notices them until it's too late. Pedro is going to be popping up with worldies as Chelsea stroll to another Prem title and all those epithets you associate with a skillful little Barcelona product will come whirling out as the goals go flying in.
Can it get any better? It does. A double gameweek against West Brom and Watford is followed by Blunderland at home to cap it all off. Ay Chi mama. Some peeps gon get brutalised.
Frankie Boyle doesn't hold back
So what are you waiting for? You've got two gameweeks to put your plata where your plomo is and sign this potential points machine or prepare for player envy.
SELL HIGH
Blankaku (10.2) -- Everton | WAT (H)
It takes some serious cojones to drop the top goalscorer in the league but stones is what it takes to win an FPL championship (unless we're talking John thereof).
Lukaku is a talent for realz but is also streaky bacon as they come. He's give you a bagel in three consecutive games, neatly coinciding with Everton's failure to beat West Brom, capitulation against Chelsea and shock loss at Swansea.
He is always liable to get it going again, of course, and Watford are as good as safe from le dreaded drop so this could be cricket score territory but Everton couldn't be further from the teams above (5 points, two games in hand) or below (13 points) them. They're swimming on their own little island in meaningless seventhplaceville.
Wouldn't you rather two easy fixtures from a player who is playing to cement a title (Costa (10.4)) than one for a player who has nout to play for and has already cleaned out his locker?
Sané has looked lazy in recent games. Maybe that's his style. Maybe he's like Berbatov with a barnet. But me no likey the no try.
He hasn't scored much for an attacker in a City side replete with talent and there are so many other options at City for your Fantasy team right now - Silva (8.6) is back; De Bruyne (10.4) is in cracking form; and Jesus (8.9) could win you your league even if Aguero comes back.
The double gameweek is much less appealing given Sané won't play the full 180 minutes and his returns are only commensurate, not exceptional, given his medium bracket price.
If I were yee, I'd find the cash for a premium City starter rather than spaff 8 mil on a player with a 9 point ceiling. That's just if I were yee, though. Yee are yee. Do what yee feel like. Yee can do anything yee wanna do.
