Drop Van Persie And Hazard, Take In West Brom And Stoke Players – Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 14 Preview

With such a low a scoring gameweek 13, Fantasy Premier League managers must be looking forward to the gameweek 14 to score some points and lift their spirits. With some important matches lined up for gameweek 14, it will open up the right opportunity for the managers to play in renewed vigor and get over the past. With a lot of rotation taking place in the league now, proof of which was Tevez not playing in the previous match from the start, Fantasy Premier League managers must be aware that they have a squad full of players who are all in the starting eleven.Some of the more important aspects that the managers should look while making the team for this week are given below.

Time to drop the Dutch man Van Persie

The Captain’s choice is a tough one- With Robin Van Persie earn just 2 points for the second consecutive week and Tevez being rested the previous match, it is gradually becoming difficult for the Fantasy Premier League managers to choose the captain of their team. One time favorite Hazard seems to have lost is Midas touch and Michu is no longer in the form he used to be. Thus some of the options can be Suarez, although he plays against Spurs, Silva, who seems to be in good form and very likely to score big and Bale, who have to face Liverpool. It may not guarantee you success but it it would be worth taking a risk in these players rather than making RVP the captain and again seeing him score 2 points.

West Brom probably the team of the moment- With four wins in a row the team that is making all the headlines for the right reasons are West Brom. It is high time to consider Shane Long and James Morrison for your team. Long, priced at £6.3m is the best low priced forward at the moment with his consistent run in the league. Their fixture is also moderate and for the 4th placed team in the league at the moment, Swansea, Stoke and West Ham may not be too tough an opponent.

Time to offload Ivanovic and Hazard- Ivanovic still enjoys 27.4% ownership, quite surprising at a time when Chelsea are going through a change and they are not expected to keep many clean sheets, forget about Ivanovic doing the role of a forward and scoring a goal. Hazard, with his 38.5% ownership also astonishes one, given the dip in his form and the form of the team in general. So, it might not be a very bad option to off load these two Chelsea players and take advantage of the extra money that they have brought in team. Among defenders, the next in line must be Baines, given his difficult fixture of playing against Arsenal, City and Spurs in the next three.

Stoke provide all the relief in defense- It is a boon for the Fantasy Premier League managers that when it comes to defensive options, Stoke provide them with all they ask for and manage them with clean-sheets week after week, with a few negligible exceptions thrown in. Even we tend to drag this fact out of proportion, but when team is as breathtaking in defense as Stoke is, no amount of praise is enough. So if you still have not got any Stoke defenders in your team what can we say? Brave. Foolish. Both
