We roll out our post-Gameweek members’ article, assessing some of the standout contenders over the previous round of fixtures.
West Ham, Spurs and Man United midfielders are among our featured players, while Chelsea’s left wing-back joins a pair of Bournemouth and West Brom assets in catching the eye.
Is a winner guaranteed?
With numbers reducing later on, strike will change once 4 or less players are remaining. So to answer your wuestin
Its a pilot run this season and keeps us all interested
*so to answer your question, yeah, only one winner in the end.
Seems like you'll get a winner this way even if everyone gets 2 apart from 1 in 9 GWs.
quick poll to bring in please
a - firminho
b - aguero
thanks
A
Firmino is a no brainer from my point of view, matching aguero, good fixtures also and is much cheaper. Also you don't have to completely recharge your team to get him in.
dont have any salah either which scares me and i can also see aguero getting a few
Now not owning salah, that would worry me
Fleetwood kit looks a lot like arsenal's
Not last week.
homeground is called Highbury too 😉
***WANTED***
4.3m defender or less. Must be fairly nailed on, able to be rotated with Masuaku as 3rd defender.
Suggestions please.....thanks!
The only one is tompkins crystal palace. Good numbers but horrible fixtures
Holgate?
- Francis?
The answer I was hoping to see! 🙂
Francis!? Jesus
BOU : whm -69 che -486 STK 233 hud -24
EVE : WBA 313 LEI 158 ars -349 CPL 249
I am getting Martina myself.
Doesn't exist 🙂
dummet
Bardsley?
Dummett
So not asking for much then. Idk about rotation but Dummett and Chilwell might be your best bets... TAA if you can handle him playing < 50% of games.
Surprised at lack of Francis mentions.....only missed 1 game since GW4.
Actually 2
Tomkins
Chillwell
Chillwell and Francis! Planning to get 1 of those in next week for Mariappa.
Who to play
Ogbonna (bou)
Kenny (wba)
Both at home, maybe Kenny.
Kenny
Agreed - West Brom won’t break down a Big Sam bus...
tough one but Id go Kenny in your position, In my circumstances this week I have to choose Ogbonna.
I'd definitely play Kenny
Cheers. Think Bournemouth are more likely to score
Playing both 😯 but I rate Kenny above Oggers this week.
I'm playing kenny over masauka if that's any help
Nearly bottomed last page....
Which transfer would you make:
A) Lingard => Arnie
B) Mee => VVD
C) Pope => Coutois
D) Eriksen => Mane (can hold off a week too)
E) Save and carry 2 FT
Thinking long-term....
So far I have 2xA, 1 D and 1 E (he is ezer and he is the main geezer)
Still D for me
A for me
Lingard id hold
mee has great fixtures coming up so worth keeping, likewise pope. Eriksen hold for one more week then get rid.
Save the free and make 2-3 moves next week!
Ok, so A, D, or E....might go for E...can always do both next week (if no fires to put out)
Thanks all
If this helps. I just rose from 69k to 30k , my team is:
Fabianski
otamendi,jones,alonso,ogbonna
Salah,Eriksen,Arnautovic,Sterling,Son
Kane
elliot,dunk,depoitre,dcl
Im doing all I can to save this week in order to get rid of city mid and upgrade a strike and maybe keeper next week. On my watchlist is: Mahrez,Pogba,Courtois,pope,Mane,KDB,Wilson,Firmino
A. Richarlison --> Mane FT
B. Richarlison + Depoitre --> Albrighton + Firmino HIT
A or B ?
A definitely
B
A by a mile
100 miles even
On foot
Barefoot
backwards
Through treacle
Im happy with my mids/fwds but need Alonso and a man city defender in the next two weeks. Whats the best option this week?
Fab (elliot)
Jones Robertson Christensen (Kenny Ogbonna)
Son Arni Lingard Sterling Salah
Firmino Kane (Niasse)
1ft 3.5 itb
A - Fab --> Ederson
B - Christensen --> Alonso
C - Ogbonna --> Alonso/Otimendi
D - Kenny --> Alonso/Otimendi
E - Save
I’d say C
B
Such an easy move
But isn’t Chris semi-nailed short-term?
Not as nailed as Alonso
I have both
Christensen is irritatingly not returning
B (you will need those funds)
I did B last week. need to check the latest on Cahill injury first before making that move. I have Fabianski as well, Think there better moves out there though as I think he's great for save potential. Kenny id look to get rid of!
Just checked and hes had at least 1 save point for last 7 weeks.... no clean sheets in that run tho.
Yeah I know, I own him also and I have a similar team to you and Im kind of putting new keeper on the back burner. Watching pope though for upcoming fixtures. If a keeper is getting 3 points though and is 4.5m with the odd CS, Id take that tbh if you can use that extra 1-1.4m well.
Fabianski, Elliot
Alonso, Otamendi, Ogbonna, Holgate, Mariappa
Salah, Sterling, Lingard, Arnie, RLC
Kane, Morata, Firmino
After midweek games :
a) Morata > Lukaku
b) RLC, Morata > KDB/Son/Mahrez, Wilson -4
c) save FT, give Morata last chance and use 2FT next week
I like B with KDB...
OK. After earlier comments I will ditch Morata. Thanks for advice.
So do I do
A) Morata and Loftus Cheek for Vardy and Lingard, or
B) Morata and Robertson for Firmino and McGuire
Morata to Firmino unless u have 2FT
I do have 2FT
B then
Thanks
Do you have funds for Morata to Aguero? Gold fixtures next 2....if you don’t / it requires a hit, go for Firmino
Sadly nowhere near. Thanks
just morata > firmino
Thanks.
Pickford Elliot
Alonso Masuaku Maguire Schindler Kiko
Salah Sterling Sanè Son Arnautovic
Kane A Gray DCL
0.3 ITB 2 FTs
Help appreciated.
DCL to Ayew...?
Pickford - Adrián
Alonso - Otamendi - Jones - Dunk - Ogbonna
Salah - Sterling - Mahrez - Son - Arnautovic
Kane - Firmino - Quaner
1FT, 1.1 ITB
A) Ogbonna > Chilwell, Quaner > Wilson (squad 'too strong'?) *priced out if Wilson rises tonight... -4
B) Ogbonna > Chilwell, Son > Mane (triple Liverpool) -4
C) Ogbonna > 5.5 defender... VVD/ Maguire/ Mustafi etc (squad 'too strong'/ possibly TRIPLE LIVERPOOL)
D) Save FT
E) Sumfink else
I'd save the FT, team looking juicy
Arnie getting a rest tonight 🙂
He has really surprised me. Pleased with him.
Surely looking like a 25 mil player these days
🙂
Quick poll:
A) Eriksen > KDB this week
B) Eriksen > KDB next week
Pope
Jones Alonso Ogbonna
Salah Eriksen Sterling Lingard Arnautovic
Kane Firmino
Joel DCL Kenny Mee (1.0itb)
Thanks lads
No City cover vs Newcastle risky....I’d say this week
I do have Sterling....
Triple Pool an overkill?
Defender might be useful or Mane/Ox
Mane mate
get rid of Firmino then 🙂
Mané + Salah is decent
Firmino + Salah is ok
I wouldn't get the three of them
who you bringing in? the Ox?
Salah Mane and Bobby
yeah
You can easely drop one of them due form/injuries/bans, but you need 2 from this Liverpool attacking machine 🙂
Yes
Reason?
Pool can easily flop and three players is a lot.
Did you see their fixtures?
0-0 vs west brom, 1-1 vs everton, newcastle 1-1 this season outside top6. Don’t like to put all eggs in one basket. It might work, might not.
Cheers Deus
See!! Told ya
My Salah captaincy went horribly wrong
Agreed
Would wait and see how they fare vs deep defending buses without Coutinho, first, before thinking abt a triple up
Fair, cheers
Walcott worth a punt at Everton? Has been FPL gold in previous years
would wait and see
This, fixtures are good but he might take a few games to get into his stride. Has barely played this season, is probably lacking sharpness.
Quick vote
Pick 1 from the below
A) Mahrez
B) Lanzini
C) Son
Danilo an option now with Delph out?
Yes, unless they go shopping.
Short term yes.
That’s the only risk I suppose. Heard rumours on PVA to City
PVA? Wow?
Don't see any difference to Danilo.
PVA is mediocre going forward and terrible defensively.
Id be wary of Zinchenko. Not sure Danilo's nailed.
Only worth it if you don't already have a City defender and can't afford Otamendi/Stones. And then you might need to transfer him back out in a few weeks anyway.
No CS for Ota then
Delph back in two weeks are the first reports.
Think i’ll stay clear sounds like a pain in the ass
Foster
Ota Jones Yoshida Gomez Ogbona
Salah Sterling RLC Son Eriksen
Kane DLC Morata
2FT 0.1 ITB
A. Morata Erik Yosh > Firmino Pogba Alonso (-4)
B. Morata Erik Yosh > Firmino Linguard Alonso (-4)
C. Other (any advice appreciated)
Cheers
A
I can do without history being made tonight... COYI!!! 😆
"The Shrews have never won an FA Cup encounter away to a top-flight side, losing nine and drawing one - with their last such match coming in February 1984, a 3-0 loss to Everton."
Did my answer suffice?
Didn't get it Doos! No worries though I'll check again if I can open it when I get in bruv 🙂
How has Lanzini looked so far? Will he get the early hook?
He will if we go 2 - 0 up.
Cheers Ammer. Has he looked lively?
Creative, not so much, but he is moving, tonight.
1 shot, over the bar.
Ta
1-0 West Ham (Burke)
Could Son match Mane's points this GW?
no reason why not, although apparently poor away stats
His form is immense though, no reason why he couldn't assist twice to Harold though.
yeah I'm keeping for this week, then assessing after weekend
You have answered your own question. I am considering switching Son to mane as I want mane long term.
Son not as good away but in red hot form.
This week or next week? For free or in a package?
Son’s on fire....it just depends if Mane takes confidence from that strike against City....he’s not looked quite right recently
Obviously.
Very direct, cheers Epic 😉
Exactly what was on my mind Klopp 🙂
🙂
😎
Richarlison -> Arnie for an FT
yes
Aye.
Yes indeed
Hey, really unsure about what to do this week. I know there are a few issues, but what would you prioritise changing:
Adrian - Elliot
Vertonghen - Dunk - Ogbonna - Alonso - Mee
Sterling - Eriksen - Arnautovic - Gross - RLC
Kane - Aguero - Quaner
Have 2 FT
Best Richarlison replacement? 6.6m budget
Already own Arnie
Depends on what transfer you plan on the long term
For instance Id also want to get rid of Richarlison but his position is supposed to be upgraded when I get rid of Aguero after the next 2 games. If I downgrade him now, that's basically a short term move and I'll need a hit to upgrade that position when I get rid of Aguero. So Im gonna keep Richarlison.
If you want a downgrade, Id go for Albrighton or Shaqiri.
I'd chance Ox
Ox or lingard?
Lingard could still be worth a go but looking a bit risky now, I'd really try to stretch to Lanzini or Arnautovic, or even Sane/Son.
Could downgrade to Doucoure. Albrighton decent form and fixtures.
Thanks for your opinions. I'm tempted by Ox, also like the Shaqiri suggestion mentioned earlier.
Right, thanks to you kind lot I have narrowed my options to:
1. DCL and Son > Aguero and Dacoure (-4)
2. RLC > Arnie (bench DCL)
3. DCL > Vardy
DDG
Otamendi Christensen Ogbonna (Mee Dunk)
Salah Sterling Son Lingard (RLC)
Kane Firmino DCL
Currently on 1) as DCL is not likely to play, and Son's fixtures turn bad. Dacoure and RLC rotate well and Dacoure has only 6pts fewer than Richarlison.
Good move, or am I just trying to convince myself it is???
HELP
2 is surely the no brainer
Has it come to Arnie being more essential than Sergio? Sad times. Thanks for the advice
1
I am fairly certain this is what I wil do, thanks!
2
Unless youre planning to use the free hit chip in 28 then C is probably the move to make.
Hmm, good point! I need to find that tweet around the best time to use the chips! I still have free hit - is that the week the cup final teams will blank?
I read on here it's potentially City, Ars and both Manc clubs
*Chelsea, Ars and both Manc clubs
Defo free hit time then!! Glad I still have it - thank you
GW28 only Arsenal vs. City and Man Utd vs. Chelsea to be postponed due to Carabao Cup. Considering some of the fixtures around that could be a time to simply move away from Arsenal/Chelsea/Man City assets for a bit.
GW31 and 35 are FA Cup weekends, likely to be more than just 2 fixtures postponed. GW35 likely to be sandwiched between two DGWs.
Could just be the one postponed if Arsenal beat Chelsea then! Looks like one for careful planning....
All decent moves, I feel like there'll be new strikers in the fray in a couple of weeks so I wouldn't rush to Vardy as Mahrez is in better form.
I'm still hoping Loftus-Cheek will return from his mystery injury soon because he's great value if fit but no denying Arnie will score more.
Could go option 1 if you don't think Son will do well.
Thanks mate, appreciate the reasoning. For spurs tough 3 I probably only need Kane, and nobody has Son in my ML’s so less pain if he scores well. Every team seems similar and I’m stuck around 25k rank, so feels like Sergio is my best bet! Good luck
What is looking more tempting?
Salah – Mahrez – Sterling - Arnautovic – Lingard
Kane – Firmino – McBurnie
OR
Salah – Young – Sterling – Caroll – Lingard
Kane – Firmino – Aguero
??
First one comfortably
This
Are you playing All attack chip? 😀
First one, but with Aguero instead of Firmino 🙂
First one, strong 5 man midfield is the way to go
Thanks guys,
Aguero against Newcastle and WestBrom bothers me..)
FA Cup games are boring so far. Hoping the Jaguars can beat the Patriots this Sunday. Going to be tough at the Gillette Stadium though.
You watching them all? 😀
Netball?
Would love it, just can't see it happening...
Some great games this season though. I'm finding myself enjoying NFL more than EPL this season for the first time ever.
Same.
Ditto.
Hopefully once the SB is over I'll fall in love with FPL again...
wonder if im sleepwalking into morata to firmino.........just cos its an easy swap
aguero requires a hit and another decision
hmmmm
Gameweek 20 is carbon copy fixture of 24. Vital since they played the games only 3 weeks ago.
Kane hattie again?
Amazing spot. Has this happened before? Am i playing dumb?
Happens every season.
Pretty much every GW is a reverse of an earlier GW. How the fixture computer works.
Nacho, Nacho man!
6 years, 4 months agoTorresMagic, inspired by your LMS I am playing in my 14 player ML (composed of my friends) a strike out league, each manager gets 3 strikes before they are knocked out. Strike = 3 lowest GW ranks.
Due to small size i had to adopt the concept of strike.
Just thought you would be glad to find out, cheers!
