Gameweek 13 Start and Sit
Whether you’re an obsessed EPL fan like our Fantrax HQ team, or a casual player new to the world of Fantasy EPL, you know to start your attacking players against relegation-threatened sides. We’re not going to waste your time dealing with the obvious! The goal of this article is to delve into notable players across each Fantrax position and let you know if you should be starting or sitting those players.
Our format is as follows: We will be choosing 2 different teams. One will be our starts of the week, made up of non-obvious, low-rostered players. The other will be our sits of the week, made up of highly rostered, normally started players. We will keep track of how each team performs in next week’s article for full transparency.
Now let’s see the teams!

Last Week Performance
Last week our “Starts of the Week” scored 92.75 behind a very nice forward line of Canos(20.5) and Joelihton(25.5). Stuart Armstrong was the only selected non-starter. On the other hand our “Sits of the Week” scored only 59.75 points with 3 players in the negatives, and Ricardo Pereira the only non-starter. A successful first week where our Starts XI, despite being only 37% rostered on average, blew out our Sits XI, who were 95% rostered on average, by 33 points!
