Waiver Wire Gameweek 29

Here we outline our Fantasy EPL Waiver Wire Gameweek 29 targets that have 40% rostered or below on Fantrax. These players should perform well over the upcoming period!

GW29 is the first "bigger" Blank GW of the season with Liverpool and Newcastle playing the League Cup final next weekend, their opponents Villa and Palace also blank this upcoming weekend. The Ivorian has started 6 games

Emmanuel Agbadou (Ros 5%)

Prospects: One of 2 African January signings by Wolves to make this list, the central defender has stepped up since his introduction in a position in which help was badly needed after Mosquera's early season injury. He already has 6 starts under his belt and besides expected poor points away at big dogs Liverpool, Newcastle and Chelsea, he has impressed in monster performances against Arsenal and Villa. His great performances have been propped up by clearances, aerials, and tackles as expected from big centre backs. The upcoming fixtures look like they are from a fantasy manager's dream: Southampton, West Ham, Ipswich, Tottenham, Man United, & Leicester. Despite being quite erratic, Wolves have a chance to keep a few clean sheets in this run, so Agbadou could be a longer term hold.

Verdict: I would use a low-tier waiver pick or 2-3 FAB to get him.

Ryan Manning (Ros 1%)

Prospects: The Southampton wing-back has shown a few times that he has the capabilities to ghost and get great scores. The issue is that with Southampton conceding for fun even great ghosts can't mask the utter crap that is this season's Saints team. There are very few teams I would venture recommending a Saints defender against, but a Cunha-less Wolves is one of them. Manning managed 8.25 in a 3-1 loss against Liverpool last week, he could build on that performance to get a decent score this weekend.

Verdict: I would use a low-tier waiver pick or 0-1 FAB to get him.

Marshall Munetsi (Ros 22%)

Prospects: The Zimbabwean was supposedly a defensive midfielder at Reims, but crossing the Channel has made him a viable attacking midfielder it seems. He already has a goal and an assist in 3 starts and while Cunha is out, he looks like the one taking picking up the attacking slack in the Brazilian's stead. We have already mentioned the peach of a schedule Wolves are about to embark on and while I don't expect them to become a free scoring goal machine, Munetsi should have his chances in the upcoming games.

Verdict:  I would use a mid-tier waiver pick or 2-3 FAB to get him.

Mateus Goncalo Espanha Fernandes (Ros 39%)

Prospects: Matues Fernandes is one of those picks I personally would not recommend most weeks other than blanks. He is your every day ghosting midfielder who won't crack 8 or 9 most weeks and only has an attacking return every 6-7 games. He can definitely do a job, but will not win you gameweeks. The only reason to choose him over most streaming mids is that he takes sets for the Saints, which inherently brings with it the chance of an attacking return. And Wolves at home is a decent matchup this week.

Verdict: I would use a low-tier waiver pick or 2-3 FAB to get him.

Victor Lindelöf (Ros 0%)

Prospects: Hear me out. I know United are bad, but you might be looking for a streaming defender. So why not go for a player facing the team which has not scored in the league since late January and has only managed 3 league goals this calendar year. The Swedish defender managed 8.5 ghosts against Arsenal, most of which came from a whopping 10 clearances. Lindelöf has historically been a bad ghoster, so this is a pure CS play. If you like to gamble and trust Man United, go for Lindy!

Verdict: I would use a low-tier waiver pick or 2-3 FAB to get him.

Tyler Dibling (Ros 11%)

Prospects: Last week we recommended Sulemana to ghost well against Trent but he didn't deliver. Dibling, on the other hand, finally brought back his early season form with forceful runs and dribbles to cut through the midfield. Facing Liverpool, he managed a respectable 7.5 points. Just like most players in this article, facing a weak opponent should bring more ghosting ability but also a much higher chance of an attacking return.

Verdict: I would use a low-tier waiver pick or 2-3 FAB to get him.
