The Supercoach EPL Gameweek 24 Preview: A Mixed Bag of Points and Flops
As we head into gameweek 24, the Supercoach EPL landscape is as unpredictable as ever. Last week delivered a whirlwind of both triumphs and disappointments, with some top players falling short in their performances.
Erling Haaland’s Drought
You might think this is new, but… Erling Haaland’s recent underwhelming performance against the bottom-placed Wolves has been a tough pill for his 20% of Supercoach owners to swallow. The 1-point score in what should have been an easy victory for Manchester City fans was a stark reminder that even the best players can have off days.
Top Performers: Dominik Szoboszlai and Jarrod Bowen
On the other hand, Dominik Szoboszlai and Jarrod Bowen are shining brightly. Both players clocked in with impressive 25 and 24 points respectively, making them must-have assets for any Supercoach looking to maximize their points.
Chelsea’s Favorable Fixtures
For Chelsea fans, the upcoming fixtures against West Ham, Wolves, Leeds, and Burnley offer a golden opportunity to capitalize on their team’s strengths. The Champions League break gives them an extra day off, making for a more relaxed approach into this critical gameweek.
Injury Uncertainty
Jurrien Timber and William Saliba are both 50/50 chances to feature against Leeds. Their absence could significantly impact the team’s defensive lineup, creating a last-minute guessing game for Supercoaches.
Key Availability Watch: Jurrien Timber/William Saliba (Arsenal): Both missed Arsenal’s Champions League match vs Kairat with “a niggle”. They are 50/50 for this Sunday’s game vs Leeds.
Cole Palmer (Chelsea): Came off the bench in Chelsea’s UCL game vs Napoli after missing the last 2 games. Question mark if he beats his thigh strain to start vs West Ham Jack Grealish (Everton): Expected to miss the rest of the season with a stress fracture. Sell.
Supercoach Breakevens
Breakevens are critical for Supercoaches, as they determine whether you make money or lose it. Players like Joao Pedro and Benjamin Sesko have low breakevens, making them potential cash cows. Conversely, players with high breakevens such as Erling Haaland and Gabriel could cost you dearly if they underperform.
The Most Traded In/Out
Dominik Szoboszlai tops the list of most traded-in players this week, with a break-even of -4 and a projected ÂŁ1.4 million price rise. Marc Guehi is also a high-profile trade, followed by Bruno Fernandes and Joao Pedro.
Conclusion
As we look ahead to gameweek 24, the key will be staying agile and making smart trades based on both form and injury uncertainty. The next few days could make or break your Supercoach season, so keep an eye on the latest news and don’t hesitate to act swiftly.
