Tom Carnduff delivers his fantasy football tips and tricks for Gameweek 30 discussed with transfers and captaincy choices.
Who has the best players in Gameweek 30?
After a double game week at 29, Gameweek 30 offers very little for fantasy football players to participate in.
There are only four games over the weekend, they are:
- Wolves v Leeds (Fri, 20:00)
- Aston Villa v Arsenal (Sat, 12:30 p.m.)
- Leicester v Brentford (Sun, 2pm)
- Tottenham v West Ham (Sun, 4:30 pm)
This means that this column will be shorter than usual and it’s hard to say for sure to count a team because of the players.
However, if you FREE HIT Chip is still available, now is the time to use it. Many will be without a full squad and those who can get 11 players or more out can benefit.
If not, it is not necessarily worth losing points to bring over the free transfer limit.
Eight available games is good – with a decent captaincy option – and everything above is a bonus.
What are the best transfers to make Gameweek 30?
Based on stats, form, and gameplay, we selected three games that are worth considering in Gameweek 30.
Gabriel Martinelli
- Position: MID
- FPL Price: £ 5.3m
- Sky Price: £ 7.8m
Slightly difficult is the fact that Emile Smith Rowe’s return to the fitness arsenal will continue to provide options in the attacking areas, but Gabriel Martinelli had a striking night on Wednesday.
He took over Trent Alexander-Arnold constantly and made the 90 minutes look incredibly lively. His performance deserved a goal contribution of some kind.
Against Liverpool, Martinelli had three successful dribbles (second highest on the pitch), one key pass, 60 touches (the highest by far of any attacking player) while also contributing a tackle.
Arsenal are involved in Gameweek 30 as they go to Villa. In repeat play there, Martinelli will surely return offensive efforts.
Patrick Bamford
- Position: FWD
- FPL Price: £ 7.7m
- Sky Price: £ 9.5m
A fantasy football favorite last season, Patrick Bamford is back involved for Leeds and should start his journey to Wolves on Friday night.
The striker spent a long time on the sidelines due to injury – completely missing from Gameweek 16 on 27 – but he played the first 45 minutes as Leeds last beat Norwich.
He has only appeared in eight games this season, six starts, and has scored two goals at an average of 0.50 xG / 95. It’s easy to forget how much he contributes when he’s been missing for so long.
Leeds were good in the attack under Jesse Marsch but just wasting. Two of her three highest xG numbers this season have come under her new American head coach.
Who’s the best captain for Gameweek 30?
There is no Mohamed Salah this week so many players are forced to look elsewhere when it comes to the bracelet.
The obvious choice seems to be HARRY CAN. The Tottenham striker has scored twice in his two games in Gameweek 29.
He comes into their home game against West Ham in great form and we can be optimistic to return to that attack again.
His teammate DEJAN KULUSEVSKI continue to offer assists and he remains an attractive option for those who have him – his FPL ownership rate climbs with a spot in 11.1% of teams ahead of Game Week 30.
Elsewhere, Leeds’ attacking shows under Jesse Marsch do RAPHINHA an interesting alternative option. He got the assistant for Joe Gelhardt’s late winner against Norwich.
The fact that Liam Cooper and Calvin Phillips are available will also make Leeds a much stronger side.
