With Fantasy Premier League managers facing several difficult decisions on who to buy, keep or sell ahead of the Gameweek 30 deadline on Tuesday 1 April at 18:15 BST, some of the world's top Fantasy managers offer their advice.
Erling Haaland (Man City) £14.8m
Nick Harris (@WGTA_Nick): If you are using your Wildcard chip in Gameweek 30, Haaland is a buy for me. Leicester at home in Gameweek 30 presents a real captaincy option, and there could also be Double Gameweeks to follow for Man City. For those not on Wildcard, I would still consider buying, but at £14.8m he is expensive and it may require some shuffling around of other players to fit him in.
Verdict: Buy
Cole Palmer (Chelsea) £10.8m
Sam Bonfield (@FPLFamily): Palmer hasn't returned in his last four matches and in fact only has one goal in his last seven Premier League fixtures. The yellow flag on him, due to his injury before the international break, will make many Wildcarding managers sell him. However, I think he is a hold for the next five weeks. Palmer has an excellent record against Spurs, with three goals and an assist in his three Premier League matches against them. After that he faces Brentford, Ipswich, Fulham and Everton. I would hold Palmer unless Enzo Maresca rules him out of the Gameweek 30 London derby.
Verdict: Keep
Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd) £8.6m
Gianni Buttice (@GianniButtice): Manchester United don't score many goals and have a tough fixture run, but Fernandes is the one attacker in this team who is clearly an excellent FPL pick. I owned him when I used my Free Hit chip in Blank Gameweek 29, and those who transferred him in will be very happy holding the in-form Portuguese playmaker, even with tricky games ahead.
Verdict: Keep
Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford) £8.1m
Pras (@Pras_FPL): With no likely Double Gameweeks to come this season, and matches against Newcastle, Chelsea and Arsenal over Gameweeks 31-33 - and then Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 35 - I think it's time to consider selling Brentford players. This doesn't mean they're an urgent sell, since Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa (£6.5m) can do well in any fixture. But targeting the Double Gameweek players and those with better fixtures overall is certainly viable, particularly for those looking to Wildcard soon.
Verdict: Consider selling
Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest) £7.3m
Az Phillips (@FPLBlackbox_Az): Much will depend on Wood's injury, which has ruled him out of this weekend's FA Cup quarter-final, but if he's fit for the next Premier League match then he's a classic case of "don't buy, don't sell". It's three blanks in a row, but home matches against Man Utd and Everton in the next three look good and I expect him to get back to scoring ways. While there are other forwards I prefer over the next few weeks, I doubt he can ever really be considered a priority sell.
If you're on a Wildcard, however, Wood doesn't make my top three. I prefer Alexander Isak (£9.3m), Jean-Philippe Mateta (£7.5m) and one of Haaland or Omar Marmoush (£7.3m). I'd be backing against the 18-goal Wood for sure.
Verdict: Keep unless you're Wildcarding
Omar Marmoush (Man City) £7.3m
Lee Bonfield (@FPLFamily): With Man City underwhelming a little in recent times, the Egyptian has bucked that trend and hit the ground running in the Premier League. A more-affordable alternative to Haaland, Marmoush's runs in behind, often set up by the big Norwegian, have become a potent weapon for Pep Guardiola's side. With Leicester up next and a possible Double Gameweek to come, now's a good time to invest.
Verdict: Buy
Daniel Munoz (Crystal Palace) £5.1m
Utkarsh Dalmia (@ZopharFPL): No defender has been afforded more big chances (nine) or racked up a higher Expected Goals (xG) tally than the 4.1 of Munoz this season. The Colombia international plays Southampton in Gameweek 30 and has a Double Gameweek 32, so he is most definitely a buy.
Verdict: Buy
Antonee Robinson (Fulham) £5.0m
Sam Bonfield (@FPLFamily): Robinson has been one of my favourite defenders to own this season. His 10 attacking returns are at least two more than any other defender in the game and his five clean sheets mean that only three defenders in the game have returned attacking or defensive points more times than him. However, Fulham have a very difficult run of fixtures between now and the end of the season, which means he is a sell. If Fulham get a Double Gameweek - which depends on their progress in the FA Cup - then he could come back in on a Free Hit for that week.
Verdict: Sell
