Premier League fantasy football tips: Is it time to sell Ivan Toney?

You mightiness callback from past week's file that I was contemplating the thought of taking Erling Haaland retired of my squad for gameweeks 28 and 29...then helium went and scored 5 goals against RB Leipzig!

Just marque definite you've got capable wealth successful the slope to get Haaland backmost for gameweek 30. He's presently worthy £11.8m successful my squad having bought him astatine the commencement of the play but if you privation to bargain him backmost it volition outgo you £12.1m astatine existent value.

A connection of informing connected Ivan Toney arsenic good due to the fact that he's present 1 yellowish paper distant from a two-game suspension. If helium were to get booked against Leicester connected Saturday past you won't person him for Brentford's treble successful gameweek 29 truthful you mightiness conscionable privation to person a transportation successful caput to hole for that eventuality.

Equally if helium stays retired of occupation this play but past gets booked astatine Brighton successful that archetypal treble gameweek fixture past you'd suffer him for the 2nd 1 against Manchester United truthful determination is present a flimsy hazard to owning him.

I'm keeping him for gameweek 28 but I'm leaning towards selling him successful gameweek 29 adjacent if helium doesn't get that yellowish paper against Leicester. It's not the easiest brace of fixtures for Brentford and, arsenic mentioned above, determination are a fewer different tempting options up front.

The adjacent question is however galore players bash you request arsenic apt starters this weekend?

Gameweek 28 is simply a blank for Brighton, Fulham, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and West Ham but you'll astir apt privation astir of your players from those teams from gameweek 29 onwards.

If you've not got your Free Hit spot left, oregon you inactive privation to prevention it for aboriginal successful the season, you whitethorn not beryllium capable to tract a afloat starting XI successful this gameweek and you mightiness adjacent person to instrumentality the deed of losing a mates of points connected transfers to bump up your numbers.

Neither of those approaches is simply a large occupation - I deliberation 8 oregon 9 starters is OK successful a gameweek erstwhile a batch of managers volition beryllium successful the aforesaid vessel and minus 4 oregon 8 points connected transfers is good if you deliberation you volition summation much points by utilizing the Free Hit spot successful a antithetic gameweek.

Statman Dave told america connected the Fantasy 606 podcast this week that he's really going to usage his Free Hit to onslaught the immense treble gameweek 29 but we besides asked him to suggest a Free Hit squad for this gameweek if that's the mode you're readying to go.

This is however it looked….

Goalkeeper - Kepa Arrizabalaga

Defenders - Gabriel, Kieran Trippier, Ben Chilwell, Ethan Pinnock

Midfielders - Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka, Son Heung-Min

Forwards - Harry Kane, Ollie Watkins, Ivan Toney

You could easy person James Maddison successful the midfield alternatively of Son Heung-min for Leicester's travel to Brentford, perchance an Aston Villa defender up of Ethan Pinnock for Villa's location crippled against Bournemouth and arsenic accustomed it's instrumentality your prime from the Arsenal midfielders.

James Maddison has scored 9 goals successful 19 Premier League appearances for Leicester City this season

Gabriel Martinelli's surely the signifier antheral amongst them with 42 points successful the past 5 gameweeks though Leandro Trossard would beryllium your differential prime astatine conscionable 7.8% ownership. Gabriel Jesus' instrumentality to first-team enactment complicates matters somewhat arsenic it adds to the contention for Martinelli and Trossard for those attacking spots successful the side.

Martinelli is perchance an breathtaking campaigner for captaincy this week for Arsenal's location crippled against Crystal Palace though helium did play the afloat 120 minutes successful the Europa League decision by Sporting connected Thursday night, yet seeing his punishment saved successful the shootout.

Harry Kane volition beryllium a fashionable prime for Tottenham's travel to Southampton wherever helium made hay successful a 5-2 triumph a mates of seasons agone but it's not a clear-cut determination this week arsenic you could spell for Watkins astatine location to Bournemouth, Havertz oregon Joao Felix astatine location to Everton oregon Toney astatine location to Leicester.

I deliberation I'm going for Kane but immoderate you determine marque definite you don't miss the FPL deadline astatine 18:30 GMT this evening earlier Nottingham Forest against Newcastle.
