It's a fast turnaround for Gameweek 29 and that in itself is likely to prove problematic for many FPL managers.

In nature yellow is the colour for danger and so too in Fantasy Premier League. With no time between GW28 and GW29 there are a number of high profile players who are flashing up as being at risk of not starting across these midweek fixtures.

The Doubtful XI

It's likely that most managers will have between 2 and 4 of the players listed above which in itself could prove a challenge. However, these are just the players that we know of who are a doubt for the matches. It's very likely that their are others who are either carrying minor injuries or who are simply due a rest ahead of what will be a busy last quarter of the season.

Squad depth therefore is important but so is luck. The worst feeling for an FPL manager is seeing your prize asset sat on the bench ready to come on and deliver you a point at the expense of your substitute options.

GW29 Player Picks and Tips

Here are our tips for GW29

Sometimes doing nothing is the best course of action

Because of the high risk of squad rotation and due to the blank fixtures coming in GW31, it might be a case of just sticking with what you've got in GW29 unless you're really struggling to put out a competitive 11 players.

Yes, there are some attractive looking fixtures out there with City hosting Forest and Liverpool traveling to Wolves but if you haven't broadly got both of those clubs well covered in your squad anyway then you're probably asleep at the wheel.

Bringing in an extra City player would essentially require you to use 1 transfer this week and then probably another for GW31 to get them out again unless you're very confident in the remainder of your squad to cover the shortfall when City, Arsenal, etc don't play in 2 weeks time.

Banking the free transfer then is probably the smarter approach to give you more flexibility over the coming weeks without the need to burn chips.

Sesko making his case

Much like Manchester United's season, Sesko's United career has been slow to get going but he now seems to be finding his feet under a manager who understands how to get the best out of him.

It's now 3 goals in as many league games for Sesko, 4 in his last 5 and 6 in his last 7 Premier League appearances.

In FPL terms, the big concern about the big man continues to be the lack of starts he gets despite his good goal return. Yesterday was just his 2nd start in that run and his first under Michael Carrick.

His super-sub antics have certainly given the manager something to think about and in fact Sesko's inclusion yesterday was the first unenforced/tactical change that Carrick has made to his starting XI since joining.

Player	Goals	Goals per 90mins
Haaland	22	0.90
Thiago	18	0.73
Sesko	8	0.69
Ekitike	11	0.61
Mateta	8	0.60

Best goals per 90mins in EPL this season (min 1000mins played)

On one-hand you could say that change paid off because United won and Sesko scored but Palace were the better team in the first half and while United were certainly in the ascendancy at the point that they got a penalty and a man advantage, the comeback was far from assured until that point.

United's next 5 fixtures

Fernandes (who was the best player on the pitch again v Palace) and Mbeumo are already popular picks at 38% and 24% selection respectively. If you've got just 1 of those 2 in your squad then Sesko might be a worthwhile punt but United's coming fixtures are significantly tougher and going for a triple United attacking threat might be pushing your luck.

GW29 differentials

Having suggested you don't make a change for this week, here's the players to consider if you do want to referesh the squad.

Ndiaye - Everton are up to 8th and still in with a chance of sneaking into Europe this year. Hanging onto a couple of their star players this summer including Ndiaye might be tough and the Senegal midfielder has the chance to shine again against lowly Burnley, a team that is leaking goals this season. Ndiaye is on penalties and set-pieces too so a good shout to get points on the board this week. However, the Toffees do have a tough run of games thereafter.

Tavernier - I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think this guy is one of the most underrated players in the Premier League and this year, he's looking like a decent FPL pick too. He passed the 100 point mark last week for the first time ever in FPL thanks to 9 goal involvements from 21 starts, a very decent return for a player who costs just £5.3mil, is almost a guaranteed starter when fit and is in just 1.4% of teams. Brentford have conceded 8 in their last 4 games and the Cherries then play a porous Burnley team in GW30 so there is a high chance of Taverneir reaching the 10 goal involvement mark shortly.
