Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers, brace yourselves! Gameweek 29 is shaping up to be a nail-biter, with crucial team news and injury updates that could make or break your squad. As we eagerly await the latest on star players like Erling Haaland (£14.7m), Nico O’Reilly (£5.1m), and Harry Wilson (£6.0m), the stakes have never been higher. But here's where it gets controversial: with seven Premier League managers set to face the media today, following Monday’s 11, will we finally get the clarity we need, or will the uncertainty linger? And this is the part most people miss: Crystal Palace’s Oliver Glasner and Tottenham’s Igor Tudor might not appear until after the Gameweek 29 deadline, leaving managers in the dark for their Thursday night clash. Is this a strategic delay, or just bad timing?
Key Updates from Tuesday’s Pressers:
Manchester City: Haaland and O’Reilly’s availability hangs in the balance, with Pep Guardiola confirming assessments will be made after training. No surprises there, but the lack of clarity is frustrating. Meanwhile, Josko Gvardiol (leg) and Mateo Kovacic (ankle) remain sidelined. Is City’s squad depth enough to weather these absences, or will their title race take a hit?
Newcastle United: Jacob Ramsey is back in action after a quick recovery from illness, but Nick Woltemade is now unwell, raising concerns about a potential squad-wide bug. Tino Livramento (hamstring) is ahead of schedule but may still miss out. With Miley, Schar, Guimaraes, and Krafth still out, can Newcastle maintain their momentum?
Brighton & Hove Albion: Yasin Ayari (shoulder) is poised to return, but long-term absentees Adam Webster and Stefanos Tzimas remain sidelined. Manager Fabian Hurzeler hints at squad rotation, with veterans Danny Welbeck and James Milner likely to be rested. Is this the right move against a formidable Arsenal side, or will Brighton regret tinkering with a winning formula?
