<h2>FPL Gameweek 12 Performance</h2>
<p><strong>Points: 72</strong></p>
<p><strong>Rank Change: -3k  Red Arrow</strong></p>
<p><strong>Overall Rank: 60K</strong></p>
<h2><img class="aligncenter wp-image-40867 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-24-at-12.13.33.png" alt="" width="722" height="658" /></h2>

<h2><strong>FPL Gameweek 12 - Brief Review</strong></h2>
<p>The '<strong>Big Three</strong>' of <strong>Chelsea, Manchester City</strong> and <strong>Liverpool</strong> continue to dominate the Premier League - each winning comfortably after the International Break.</p>
<p>It was another outstanding week for  '<strong>Attacking defenders</strong>' and fantasy managers fortunate enough to own four (or even five) heavy hitters at the back have shot up the rankings in recent weeks.</p>
<p><strong>Reece James</strong> is the form player across the whole game right now, closely followed by <strong>Joao Cancelo</strong> and <strong>Trent Alexander-Arnold</strong>. Representation from the defences of each of the Big Three looks essential as we head into the December schedule.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>FPL Gameweek 12 - My Team</strong></h2>
<p>My team scored a decent <strong>72 points</strong> in gameweek 12 - which was 1 point off a Green Arrow!</p>
<p>I had a difficult decision to make in whether to acquire a <strong>Tottenham Hotspur asset</strong> or look at a different strategy going forward.</p>
<p>I decided to avoid Spurs, and instead transferred out Jamie Vardy (for <strong>Callum Wilson</strong>) and made a very late transfer-in of<strong> Diogo Jota</strong> (for Bryan Mbeumo).  A technical issue prevented me from updating my Gameweek 12 article confirming the Jota move (Apologies)</p>
<p>So far I'm better off for these moves. Both the Tottenham targets (Kane &amp; Son) blanked again. Callum Wilson blanked too, but Newcastle's attacking performance was much improved. I'm optimistic Wilson will return over the next three gameweeks, though he is now on <em>4 Yellow cards</em> which could cause me an issue down the line..</p>
<p>Diogo Jota scored a fine solo goal and could have had more, had it not been for some fine goalkeeping from Aaron Ramsdale. A heavy knock in the second half is another worry for this week - but if OK, Jota looks great value for the upcoming schedule of games.</p>
<p>Elsewhere, there were returns for Ivan Toney, my three defenders of Ben Chilwell, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joao Cancelo and of course the captain Mohamed Salah. Although not a spectacular week rank-wise, I'm well set with a <strong>deep bench</strong> and plenty of funds for transfers now.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>Gameweeks 13-21</h2>
<p>As fantasy managers, we are about to embark on the <strong>busiest period of the season</strong>, with <strong>9 gameweeks</strong> to be played out between <strong>27th November and 1st January!</strong></p>
<p>There are a few <strong>essential behaviours</strong> I would suggest are adopted through this period of games.  These will hopefully aid safe passage and green arrows before 2022 allows a second wildcard to be played (if needed). These are basics but I do advise following them as 'Rules' in the coming weeks.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Avoid Early Transfers wherever possible</strong> - This is often given as advice, but people keep making transfers to catch price rises or because they have 'exact money'.  This is risky in normal times, but I urge you to wait for team news each game week before using your precious transfers. Bank a transfer if you can for extra power if things go wrong.</li>
<li><strong>Keep the team healthy and available</strong> - If a player in your squad is injured, prioritise moving him on over making a more 'luxury' move on a fit, playing option.</li>
<li><strong>Build a deeper bench</strong> - Rotation is inevitable, especially for clubs with large squads and multiple competitions to cover. If you have a number of 'non-nailed' players, or have gone 'Big at the back' with players who have competition for their start, this is a risky time. Make sure you have playing substitutes you don't mind coming in when rotation bites.</li>
<li><strong>Maintain Financial Flexibility</strong> - Give yourself funds in the bank to pivot off a player or price-point to another in a maximum of two moves. Avoid becoming 'Skint' (£0.0m in the bank) as this can be restrictive and lead to otherwise unnecessary hits.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Strategy and Team Reveal Expectations</strong></h2>
<p>Over the next five weeks, the gap between gameweeks is very small with little time to write and publish an article in considerable depth. I will be aiming to apply the behaviours outlined above to my own team, which should drive my transfer thinking.</p>
<p>My <strong>articles</strong> will therefore<strong> take a shorter form from next week</strong>, with a focus on the immediate transfer and team selection for the gameweek. This should help Hub members with their own time management too!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>FPL Gameweek 13 Transfer Options (1 free transfer, £2.9m ITB)</h2>
<p>I had planned to bring in <strong>Reece James</strong> this week to complete the 'Dream Back Four' of Alexander-Arnold/Cancelo/Chilwell/James.  Unfortunately, <strong>Ben</strong> <strong>Chilwell</strong> sustained what looks like a <strong>serious knee injury</strong> in the Champions league fixture against Juventus this week.</p>
<p>I recall last season brining in James and Chilwell in a double transfer, when they had hit similar form and they were immediately both injured. Sometimes when something looks too good to be true, it often is. I hope Ben recovers quickly and Reece stays fit.</p>
