FPL

Fantasy Premier League managers will be tested in gameweek 28 with several clubs not in action.

The former FPL shoo-in is back on our radar after returning from a knee injury and bolder managers will introduce him for Sunday’s game with struggling Crystal Palace. With six goals and a tiny ownership, Billing is a good shout after scoring in both of the Cherries’ last two games. After his run of scoring in five consecutive games came to an end, Watkins was back up and running with a strike against West Ham last weekend.

What to do with Haaland when he's low on fixtures, and whether to keep Rashford…

[Harry Kane](https://theathletic.com/football/player/harry-kane-47vQtg5y5Ub8iFqb/) (£11.7m) is also a popular acquisition, with the Spurs striker remaining on track for his best-ever season in FPL. [Aston Villa](https://theathletic.com/football/team/aston-villa/)’s in-form [Ollie Watkins](https://theathletic.com/football/player/ollie-watkins-9nwANNnY4TGed61H/) (£7.4m), who is the most transferred-in forward this week, with six goals in his last seven games. I think it’s the right decision to sell. The other factor to consider when selling a player in FPL is their relative value. But he blanked in the reverse fixture, a 1-0 defeat at Anfield in October, and despite a turbulent defensive season Liverpool have not conceded more than three goals in any one Premier League game. Selling Price [Mohamed Salah](https://theathletic.com/football/player/mohamed-salah-NuvaNMBabDgYuJtn/) (£12.8m) after their defeat to [Bournemouth](https://theathletic.com/football/team/bournemouth/) and his spot-kick miss in that match. The theory is that you can sell Haaland this week then buy him back in Gameweek 30, which means only losing him for the visit of Liverpool. Current Price [Brighton](https://theathletic.com/football/team/brighton-and-hove-albion/)’s [Kaoru Mitoma](https://theathletic.com/football/player/kaoru-mitoma-ffIJWkcUofTmQsTJ/) (£5.5m) all within the top 10 price risers. [Chelsea](https://theathletic.com/football/team/chelsea/)’s [Kai Havertz](https://theathletic.com/football/player/kai-havertz-BAHAYdE2WeiErgTt/) (£7.5m) and [Ivan Toney](https://theathletic.com/football/player/ivan-toney-VfYkRN3FErfXXTZN/) (£7.8m) of Brentford also seeing lots of transfer traffic. [FPL](https://theathletic.com/football/fantasy-premier-league/) Gameweek 28 is a blank gameweek, with just seven fixtures due to it clashing with the [FA Cup](https://theathletic.com/football/fa-cup/) quarter-finals.

The biggest Blank Gameweek of this season's final months is about to begin, which usually means that a lot of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are ...

Aaron Ramsdale (£4.9m) is one of them, as it creates space for attacking full-back Matty Cash (£4.6m) to cause damage versus Bournemouth. Of the £10m+ options, only Spurs duo Kane and Son Heung-min (£11.6m) will be taking part. The differences see Havertz in place of Watkins and the risk of only having two Arsenal assets. However, he’s slightly behind the front three of Kane, Watkins and Ivan Toney (£7.8m). This option covers the template names alongside the week’s most-bought players Ben Chilwell (£5.9m), Ollie Watkins (£7.4m) and James Maddison (£8.1m). Go down to £9.0m and there’s just the injured Raheem Sterling (£9.7m) and out-of-favour Jamie Vardy (£9.1m). By committing to Trippier, Kane and Saka before looking at the potential elsewhere, there’s a real chance for FPL managers to shoot up the rankings. Arsenal trio Bukayo Saka (£8.5m), Martin Odegaard (£6.9m) and Gabriel Martinelli (£6.6m), alongside Maddison and Miguel Almiron (£5.4m). - Similarly, assuming that the highly-owned Harry Kane (£11.7m), Kieran Trippier (£6.0m) and three Arsenal options will be selected, there’s not much upside to it. - No need for back-and-forth transfers involving the absent Erling Haaland (£12.1m), Marcus Rashford (£7.4m) and the midfielders of Brighton and Hove Albion. - As a consequence of this, you can possess template names whilst also having room for enticing differentials that propel you up the rankings and mini-leagues. According to our site poll, 17.39% will use a Free Hit, with others believing the week can be navigated quite easily and are therefore saving the chip for later on.

The top defenders to sign in Fantasy Premier League for FPL Gameweek 28, including Gabriel and Kieran Trippier.

Newcastle visit Nottingham Forest as the curtain-raiser for the weekend before five games on Saturday, including Spurs' trip to Southampton and Chelsea's Stamford Bridge battle with Everton. The Spaniard set up Ollie Watkins' ninth league goal of the season, having also assisted Philippe Coutinho's strike against Arsenal in February. However, FPL favourites from Arsenal and Newcastle will be in action, while there are other fixtures that could earn returns from our favourite defenders.

Our Double Gameweek 27 captain picks all yielded significant success apart from Mo Salah (£12.8m), who missed a penalty in Liverpool's shock 1-0 defeat away ...

With Haaland not featuring in the Premier League this weekend, the likelihood is that any FPL manager looking to captain a forward this coming gameweek will opt for Kane. Erling Haaland remains the only player in the Premier League to have acquired more fantasy points than Harry Kane, who took his top flight goal tally for the season to 20 with a brace against Nott’m Forest last weekend. Selecting a differential captain for Blank Gameweek 28 is no easy feat when taking into account the number of teams out of action, but a frustrating yet potential fruitful FPL asset stands out. Martinelli comes in Blank Gameweek 28 having found the net five times across Arsenal’s last five Premier League fixtures and since Gameweek 24, boasts 42 FPL points to his name. The Brazilian has accrued 17 attacking returns so far in the 2022-23 Premier League (12 goals and five assists) and picked up 150 fantasy points. Blank Gameweek 28 sees a number of teams not feature due to a clash with the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Taiwo Awoniyi (groin) has also been seen on the grass but it’s not known how much team training, if any, he has done. “We still need more assessment for Vitaly Janelt, who we had to sub off [against Southampton]. I think he brings a different dimension, but every player has their own strengths and uniqueness which makes the team slightly different.” – Eddie Howe We ask a lot of our players physically, so it’s nice to be able to pull someone back, give them a chance to reset and then bring them back into the team. Obviously when you have a scan, it tells you something, but obviously you have to treat the player. But for me, it’s just a natural process of the season. Physically he was very very good, technically very good, and his goal… “Similar to last week – we’ve got a couple of knocks. The scan wasn’t plain sailing, it wasn’t a shoo-in. At the moment he’s in a period where he’s staying off the grass, staying off his feet, and the injury’s healing. “It’s slightly more serious than that, so we’re doing everything we can to get him back as quickly as possible.

We're set for another international break after quite a while, with Blank GW 28 the final FPL GW before the international break, with the Premier League set ...

I might, however, be tempted to go for a more risky differential pick before the deadline. I'm likely to go with Harry Kane as my captain despite the multiple other viable captaincy options on offer this week. All the players seem to have a decent fixture on paper, with plenty of captaincy options to choose from as well. FWD: Harry Kane (TOT) vs SOU (A), Ivan Toney (BRE) vs LEI (H), Kai Havertz (CHE) vs EVE (H) I have double-ups in Brentford, Tottenham Hotspur, and Arsenal, and all three teams have good fixtures. None: I have a full squad of eleven starters, all with good fixtures on paper. While the Bees play at home to a leaky Leicester City side and Arsenal take on Crystal Palace at home, Spurs visit a Southampton side at the bottom of the league. The Gameweek begins with Nottingham Forest's home clash against Newcastle United on Friday. Chelsea's Stamford Bridge meeting with Everton is one of five matches on Saturday. The three popular Brighton midfielders Solly March, Kaoru Mitoma, and Alexis Mac Allister all picked up double-digit hauls. Gameweek 28 Bench: Robert Sanchez (GK) vs None, Marcus Rashford (MID) vs None, Alexis Mac Allister (BHA) vs None, Solly March (BHA) vs None. Midfielders: Bukayo Saka (ARS) (£8.5 m), Solly March (BHA) (£5.1 m), Alexis Mac Allister (BHA) (£5.4 m), James Maddison (LEI) (MID) (£8.1 m), Marcus Rashford (MUN) (£7.0 m)
