Fantasy Premier League managers would have been confident entering Gameweek 24 after an impressive GW23 that saw an average score of 58 but injuries to some key, highly-owned players have certainly disrupted plans.
James Justin, Leicester City’s full-back owned by almost 28% of FPL managers was all but ruled out for the season after a nasty knee injury. He was the second-highest scoring defender in the game and available at a fairly low price of £5.2 million. Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin, the second-most owned forward (43.2%) in the game is also set to miss the Fulham game at least. Moreover, there are doubts over the fitness of Manchester City’s Ruben Dias, Everton’s Lucas Digne and West Ham’s Michail Antonio.
Most of these players are from Everton and Manchester City, teams that will be playing twice this week. So with a lot of FPL managers banking on these players for GW24, the injuries have been an unwelcome development.
Fixture Difficulty
