3 Players to pick and drop for Gameweek 27 | FPL Tips 2020

3. Anthony Martial (WAT)

Anthony Martial

Anthony Martial returned to scoring ways with a deft header against Chelsea, his second goal in the last six gameweeks and also scored in the Europa League. Amongst midfielders, only Armstrong (16), Son (22) and Salah (29) have taken more shots over that period than the Frenchman’s 14. He was also afforded two ‘big chances’ and landed five SoT. Only Fred and Mata (both eight) created more chances amongst Man. United players than Martial’s six.

The Red Devils have scored six goals in as many gameweeks and are also ranked sixth for shots (81). They have landed 29 SoT with only Everton (32), Leicester (38), Man. City (41) and Liverpool (44) managing more. Watford have conceded seven goals over the same period keeping just two clean sheets. They are ranked seventh-worst for shots conceded (80) and 10th for SiB conceded (50).

3 Players to Drop

1. Heung-Min Son (CHE)

Heung-Min Son

Heung-Min Son suffered an elbow injury in the first minute of Spurs’ game against Aston Villa last gameweek but still played on and delivered a goal and an assist. Unfortunately, the South Korean is now ruled out for an extended period after undergoing surgery on his elbow and is not expected to feature again this season.

His premium price point means getting rid is a priority with price drops imminent. Switching to other Spurs players such as Dele Alli or Lucas Moura is not something I’d recommend. They looked toothless in the Champions League and I think their attack suffers significantly in the absence of both Son and Harry Kane.
