4 Players to Get Rid of in FPL For Now This Season
As the 2024/25 FPL season unfolds, a few high-profile players have left FPL managers frustrated due to their underwhelming performances.
Today EPLNews takes a look at four most disappointing players that you need to transfer out of your Fantasy Premier League team.
Christopher Nkunku (Chelsea)
Christopher Nkunku was one player who was expected to start strongly for Chelsea this season. Priced at £6.5m, he was a popular pick from the start among FPL managers hoping to capitalise on his goal-scoring and creative abilities.
Unfortunately, limited playing time has seen him only score 3 FPL points, leaving managers who invested in him scrambling for more consistent alternatives.
James Maddison (Tottenham Hotspur)
Although 12 points after three games is not a terrible return, we can’t help but feel like Maddison belongs on this list because of his potential and his price (£7.5m). He always looks like he can make things happen, but that does not come to pass as often as it should.
He has registered two assists so far this season, but is yet to score a goal despite being given licence to do damage from his position as an attacking midfielder in Ange Postecoglou’s setup at Spurs.
Marcus Rashford (Manchester United)
Marcus Rashford was another player who was expected to shine this season. Priced initially at £7.0m (now down to £6.9m), Rashford was a popular pick, with managers hoping his quality would shine through again like in seasons past.
However, his performances have been inconsistent and he has an average of 2.3 points per game after three gameweeks. Manchester United’s overall struggles have not helped his case, leading to a series of low-scoring FPL returns. Rashford’s underperformance has been a significant disappointment for those who invested heavily in him.
Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
Very much like his United teammate Rashford, Fernandes has deceived with his performances so far this season. Priced now at £8.4m, he has the same 2.3 points per game average mentioned in his colleague’s case, having also failed to provide any goals or assists in the three gameweeks that took place so far.
He is still in the teams of 12.6% of FPL managers, but this number might drop if he fails to perform to any degree in United’s upcoming games after the international break.
Conclusion
The 2024/25 FPL season has had its fair share of disappointments, with several high-profile players failing to meet expectations and leaving many FPL managers reconsidering their selections. As the season progresses, staying flexible and making timely transfers will be crucial for managers looking to turn their fortunes around.
By keeping a close eye on player form and staying informed about the latest FPL developments, managers can avoid the pitfalls of relying on underperforming stars and make decisions that could revive their season.
