3 Players to pick and drop for Gameweek 26 | FPL Tips 2020

3. Heung-Min Son (AVL)

Tottenham Hotspur v Southampton FC - FA Cup Fourth Round: Replay

Heung-Min Son has now registered back-to-back goals in the last two gameweeks and is providing the majority of Spurs’ goal threat in Kane’s absence. Only De Bruyne (18) and Salah (27) have attempted more shots amongst midfielders over the last six gameweeks and he is also ranked fourth for SiB (11) trailing only Mane (12), Mahrez (12) and Salah (22). Only Armstrong (seven) and Salah (11) have landed more SoT than the Korean’s six.

Although Spurs have scored only six goals in as many gameweeks, four of these were in their last two matches indicating that they have found a bit of form. They are ranked 11th for shots (73) and 10th for SoT (26) over that period.

Villa’s defensive statistics give plenty of reason to think they can improve on those numbers. No team has conceded more goals (14) or allowed opponents more SiB (63) than the Birmingham side over the past six gameweeks. They are also bottom for ‘big chances’ conceded (23).

3 Players to drop

1. Raheem Sterling (WHU)

Manchester City v TSG 1899 Hoffenheim - UEFA Champions League Group F

Raheem Sterling picked up an injury late on in Man. City’s game with Spurs in gameweek 25 and though there is no official statement from Guardiola yet, various press reports expect him to be out for a 2-3 week period. The winger’s form has slumped miserably of late, with no goals or assists in his last seven Premier League fixtures.

He notched just 10 FPL points over that period. He is expected to miss their next two Premier League matches and gameweek 28 is a blank for them anyways with their participation in the Carabao Cup final that week. At 11.7m he is too expensive to leave on your bench and should be sold right away.
