The Fellaini Dilemma
Fellaini was definitely the name that was
mentioned the most in all FPL forums and chats this week. After a few
impressive weeks (GW11, 12, 14, 15), his ownership had reached around 47%. As a
consequence of his headbutt incident this week, not surprisingly, Fellaini got
banned for 3 weeks. This shouldn’t be a surprise since Fellaini is the player
with the most fouls committed in EPL this season, and this act is predictable
from him.
However, we are not here to discuss his
behavior. What we care about as FPL managers is the fact that Fellaini will be
out for 3 weeks. This is a long-term suspension, and removing Fellaini is the
obvious solution. The real question is who do we get to replace him? This
article will discuss the different alternatives, by looking across the
different ranges of players.
