Fantasy football Trends From The Top – GW29
Welcome to this week’s edition of Trends From the Top. What have the leaders been up to and what will our leaders being doing as we edge towards the end of the season? Let’s take a look and see what trends if any ensued.
Who were the most popular players chosen by the top ten for Gameweek 29?
Goalkeepers: This week was rather interesting as our top managers selected 7 different goalkeepers. This is in fact the most diverse we have seen this category for the entire season. Hart, Courtois and Butland were the most popular picks coming in at 20% ownership while Forster, de Gea, Schmeichel and Fabianski each came in with 10%.
Defenders: As usual, we saw a plethora of defenders played by the top ten; a total of 14 different players. Alderweireld and Azpilicueta were the most popular picks as 5 of the 10 managers selected both. Fuchs and Huth came in at 30% ownership while Sagna, van Dijk, Francis, Fonte, Williams and Cresswell each had 20%. The remaining defenders all came in with 10% ownership: Kompany, Dier, Otamendi and Simpson.
Midfielders: When you look at midfielders, the top 10 managers had 12 different picks with several getting only 10% of the vote such as Sanchez, Ayew, Sigurdsson, and Fabregas. 100% of managers selected Mahrez followed by Payet with 80%, Ozil with 60%, Firmino, Barkley, Silva and Willian with 30%, and Alli with 20%.
Forwards: This week, the front line consisted of only 5 picks among the top managers. 100% had Vardy yet out of those 9 managers, none of them gave Vardy the armband. Aguero with an ownership rate of 90% and was selected as captain for all the top teams less one which selected Lukaku. Kane and Lukaku each had an ownership ate of 30% while Afobe came in at 20%.

Hello All!!
I’m doing something that wouldn’t be very advised but I’m trying to win a money league for this month and I think playing my bench boost and having 15 starters this weekend could work very well, considering 3 or 4 of my rivals for the month will have to take hits to even field 11.
I’m taking Payet and Watson out of my midfield which leaves me with Alli, Mahrez & Sanchez. I already have triple Spurs and triple Leicester. This leave me with £13.4m ITB.
I was thinking of Shaqiri or Arnautovic & then maybe Ayew? Will probably go for one of the Stoke boys which will then leave me with £7m ITB.
Any suggestions for who my other pick should be or is there another player I should pick over Shaq/Anri? Thanks.
Is it mainly for this week that you want these mid’s or is it for the rest of the month?
I take it you can’t win your ML?
Yeah wont be winning my mini league. Mainly this week!! Both free transfers too.
Ant two from Ayew / Sterling / Sigurdsson / Ritchie. I would mention Eriksen too but you say you have three Spurs already so that’s a no-go.
Cheers NIN! They’re all on the watchlist along with a few others, just a headache now to choose the wrong two no doubt!
Probably!
Tnx Reba! Your articles are greatly appreciated!
I see Bellerin is rising through the roof? Are people like complete idiots? Omg, I will laugh my ass off when he goes up tonight and Arsenal won’t play in GW30. ^^
It’s great isn’t it
Does give you a measure of how many people just play this blindly…
i have 0.9m in the bank. should i do yaya to coutinho this gw ?? Any tsuggestion regarding starting XI,team and cap would be very much appreciated
You could do a lot worse than getting City cover on board. Sterling / Yaya are both pretty good options. Eriksen is also a great option vs Villa.
keeping minds the double gws in gw34 isnt it better to bring mancity player ather than bringing spurs player
That’s for each of us to decide ourselves. I mentioned Eriksen because he could have a big one against Villa.
Hi lords! Hope you’re all well!
Was after some advice and opinions on my team and what I should do this GW. I have two players that are flagged red but I don’t see long for either of them to wait. I can field an entire team atm bar a keeper for GW 30. Thinking of shipping De Gea out, maybe bring in Butland? Also looking at moving Stanislas out and bringing in Chelsea’s Traore. If he can get game time, he’s a striker that’s playing as a mid.
All advice welcome. Thanks guys!!
2FT, 1.3m in the bank
Hi makeya. I would probably just leave the GK situation the way it is and sell De Gea at a later date. This week i’d be looking at Fonte –> Otamendi / Kompany, or, Sanchez –> one of the City mid’s. That’s assuming Arsenal end up with a blank this weekend. If not then i would then sort the GK. Probably Hart this week, or Schmeichel.
Can’t take in Schmeichel due to 3 Leicester already, Hart looks a solid move but yeah just wait on that Arsenal result. Come on Hull!
Good call fellas. Cheers!!
uhmm … if it were me, and it’s just me … i’d go ahead with the deGea to Butland move; that takes care of 11 players for GW30; save the 1 FT for the Arsenal game and see how that goes and then think about the Sanchez move for a ManCity player or someone else who has a DGW coming up. Other than that, you are going to run with 11 players strictly for this GW, which is what most of us are doing right now.
Or get in Hart … that takes care of this GW, gets you a player for the coming DGW and still leaves you one FT if you decide you want someone as a backup on the bench after the Arsenal game … or if something major happens like an injury during the champions league to one of your players.
Hi again beka,
Thanks once more for this week’s ‘Trends’.
Good little read and I’m only just getting to it so apologies for the late comment.
Pleased to see the Jock is still in the top 10. It will be me one of these years
