The Stock Check – Gameweek 11 – Sunday

A 6-1 home rout of Watford promotes Fantasy Premier League interest in Liverpool’s effervescent front three as the competition for our five-man midfield intensifies.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic bags a brace then topples off the Suspension Tightrope, and Harry Kane’s return to action threatens to shake up our options in attack. Here’s the Stock Check following Sunday’s five matches…

On the Rise

Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane
The Liverpool trio all produced double-figure hauls in the same match for the first time this season in a 6-1 home thrashing of Watford.

Owned by over 45% of FPL managers, Coutinho is now the most popular midfielder in the game, with a goal and assist taking him to second in the overall standings.

Yet the displays of both Firmino and Mane highlight the benefit in at least doubling up on Jurgen Klopp’s front three.

The trio sit amongst the top six scoring FPL midfielders – Firmino served up a second 15-point haul of the campaign to climb into fourth, while Mane’s season-high 13 points sees him sit one point behind City’s Kevin De Bruyne.

With the schedule still so favourable, and a lack of European matches restricting rotation, investing heavily in Jurgen Klopp’s big-hitters continues to pay off handsomely.

Adam Lallana
Despite a favourable price tag of 7.1, Lallana was in danger of being left behind by his team-mates after a run of four straight blanks.

A pair of assists against Watford, supplemented by maximum bonus points, saw the former Saint move onto 59 points for the campaign – just two behind Mane.

At a time when owners of Michail Antonio, Son Heung-Min and Theo Walcott are seeking out mid-price alternatives, Lallana can expect to see his 11% ownership climb. He’s second only to Coutinho for value amongst Liverpool’s midfield contingent.

Harry Kane
Re-installed to the first XI after recovering from an ankle injury, the Spurs forward earned his side a point at the Emirates thanks to a converted second-half spot-kick.

Kane has now netted in each of his last three league appearances and there’s no doubt that his return to action is threatening to shake up our three-man frontlines.

Given that Sergio Aguero and Diego Costa sit in over 40% of squads and Romelu Lukaku and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are held by 30%+, Kane’s 5% ownership makes him the ideal differential for those looking to restructure.

Spurs now have four home fixtures in seven, with West Ham, Swansea, Hull and Burnley next up at White Hart Lane.

Robert Snodgrass
Having returned to training earlier than expected, the Scot was named amongst the subs for Hull City’s home encounter with Southampton.

Injuries up top meant that Snodgrass was afforded the chance to make an impact off the bench and he didn’t disappoint, supplying a goal and assist in the 2-1 comeback victory.

Now down to 5.5, he’s set to challenge the likes of Joe Allen and Ilkay Gundogan in the sub-6.0 bracket as he squares up to Sunderland, West Brom, Middlesbrough and Palace directly after the international break.

Charlie Austin
A converted first-half penalty took the Southampton forward’s tally to five strikes in the last seven rounds of fixtures.

Subject to a price rise in each of the previous five Gameweeks, Austin still sits at just 6.7 in FPL and with the fixtures falling in his favour from Gameweek 14 onwards, that interest looks set to continue.

Indeed, upcoming home encounters with Liverpool and Everton’s unconvincing defences may persuade more to get on board once the international break has passed.

Paul Pogba
We’d highlighted the Frenchman’s threat in last week’s Big Numbers article, and he finally delivered on the data.

Pushed up into an advanced role, Pogba fired a stunning opener in the 3-1 win at Swansea to serve a reminder of his talents.

Only four midfielders have produced more attempts on goal than United’s summer signing over the first 11 Gameweeks, though he’s managed to score just twice. With Eden Hazard and Liverpool’s midfield at the top of our shopping lists, Pogba has a long way to go before he is elevated in our thinking, particularly as he sits just one caution short of a ban.

Matty Phillips
Handed a recall after James McClean (suspension) and Nacer Chadli (knee injury) were sidelined for the King Power Stadium trip, the Baggies wide man grabbed his opportunity with a goal and assist in the 2-1 win.

Phillips has now produced points in three of his last six, yet with Chadli expected to be fit enough to return in time for the Gameweek 12 clash with Burnley, he faces a tough task to find a way past the Belgian in our thinking.

Clashes against Hull, Watford and Swansea City in the next five certainly suggest that Tony Pulis’ men could be back on our radars.

Chris Brunt is another to keep an eye on – listed as a defender in FPL, he was fielded on the flank this afternoon.

The Irishman has started in back-to-back league matches since proving his fitness following a long-term knee injury, though it remains to be seen where he’ll fit in once Pulis has a full quota of players to pick from.

Islam Slimani
It’s three goals and an assist in four home appearances for the Leicester after this afternoon’s strike against West Brom.

Leicester City are another side set for some fine fixtures and Slimani looks to have edged ahead as their likeliest source of attacking points.

Riyad Mahrez still sits in 10% of FPL squads and supplied the assist for his compatriot’s goal, yet with just two assists from Gameweek 2 onwards, that 9.1 price tag continues to look vastly inflated.

Gylfi Sigurdsson
An assist in today’s loss to United was the fifth time in eight Gameweeks that the Swansea City playmaker has produced attacking returns.

Today again underlined Sigurdsson’s fixture-proof appeal – he has also scored or assisted against Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal over that run.

The schedule smiles kindly on Bob Bradley’s strugglers from Gameweek 15 onwards and at a price of just 7.2, Sigurdsson’s consistency could see him emerge as one of the value midfield picks over the winter period.

In Decline

Zlatan Ibrahimovic
The United frontman delighted then disappointed his 30% FPL ownership in equal measure this afternoon.

After finally breaking his six-match scoring drought with a brace at the Liberty, Ibrahimovic then toppled off the Suspension Tightrope by earning a fifth yellow card of the season.

The last six Gameweeks have seen the veteran earn significant transfers out and today’s indiscretion will surely now persuade many more the time is right to cut and run.

With Kane throwing his name into the hat as another big-hitter, Ibrahimovic is already number one for transfers out up front since the weekend.

Marcus Rashford
The youngster was omitted from United’s XI for the first time since Gameweek 4 as Jose Mourinho handed Wayne Rooney a surprise return out wide.

Ibrahimovic’s upcoming ban means that Rashford may well be graned an immediate return to face Arsenal next time out, though today’s pair of assists from Rooney clearly throws more question marks over the pecking order in attack.

Daley Blind
Despite being devoid of a number of defensive options – including three of his first-choice back-four – Mourinho opted to bench Daley Blind for the trip to Swansea, suggesting that the Dutchman was only fit enough to be named amongst the substitutes.

Thanks to his share of corners and propensity for picking up bonus points, Blind has been the standout option in the Red Devils’ rearguard.

Sitting in sixth spot for FPL defenders, he’s 16 points clear of any other United backline option, yet Mourinho’s decision may persuade his 10% owners to reconsider.

Today’s result means the Old Trafford side have just two clean sheets in the last eight Gameweeks.

Theo Walcott
Sold by more FPL managers than any player last week, the winger overcame a hamstring problem to be handed a starting role on the Arsenal right.

Walcott played all but three minutes of the previous five league matches he appeared in but today saw him replaced by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on 70 minutes.

There’s a fear that his early withdrawal may be a sign of what’s to come, though it may well be that Arsene Wenger was simply easing him back into action.

Already, though, Walcott is being shipped in numbers as the exodus steps up over the break.

Alexis Sanchez
A blank at home to Spurs continued the Chilean’s poor run of form at the Emirates.

Sanchez has now scored just once in six matches in front of his own supporters, compared to six strikes in five on the road.

As the quest to draft in Eden Hazard intensifies, some are starting to feel that the Arsenal man’s 11.4 price tag could be the answer. Bearing in mind that four of his next six league fixtures are away, though, getting rid could backfire.

Sanchez’ owners will at least have been appeased by his return to the lone striker role today as Olivier Giroud dropped back to the bench, having led the line in Bulgaria on Wednesday.

However, Giroud was introduced for the final 20-minutes – a trend that could continue in future matches, potentially shifting Sanchez’ role for the closing stages.

Jose Holebas
The 9%-owned Watford defender also earned a fifth yellow of the season today.

Holebas treated his owners to a score of -2 points in the 6-1 Anfield loss, with a second-half caution ensuring he will miss a Gameweek 12 home encounter against Leicester.

Given that the Hornets than face Stoke City, West Brom, Sunderland and Palace in the subsequent six, many will be happy to bench a player who produced 33 points in four appearances prior to today.

A move to 4-4-2 at Anfield is worth monitoring, though, considering the former Greek international has mainly been utilised as a wing-back by Walter Mazzarri.

Daryl Janmaat’s form could also be a factor.

Returning to the first XI after a shoulder injury, his consolation means he’s bagged a goal and assist in his last two starts. The Dutchman is now identically priced to Holebas at 4.8 apiece.

Jamie Vardy
Dropped to the bench for the second time in three league fixtures, the Foxes frontman looks to have fallen from consideration just as the schedule turns kind.

Without a goal since Gameweek 4, Vardy looks a far cry from the player that netted 24 times last term, and as Slimani continues to profit up top, the England international is becoming an increasingly peripheral figure in our seasons.

    Ugh, thought Ibra and Snoddy to Austin and Coutinho (-4) was almost a no brainer, thought with Snoddy out the chance to make up that 4 was made allot easier, so he makes it back when was red flagged and then comes off the bench for a goal, assist and max bonus, then Ibra comes out of his slump with a brace and max bonus. Still should now be set up better long term particularly with Ibra's ban but gee its still bloody annoying!!

    1. Rusty Nail
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      It was snoddy only came on because they lost both strikers to injury may have ended with 1 point on another day

      1. waldo666
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Very true and tbh he would have been on my bench anyway with the flag had I have kept him so probably not as bad as I'm making it out to be although still annoyed 😉

  2. Coaly
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Walcott Smith to:

    a) Hazard Evans -4
    b) Cout Alonso -4

    Will be priced out of b if I don't do it tonight

    Or I could keep Walcott and do no hit

    1. waldo666
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      It's a tough one but with the international break upon us it may be prudent to not take any hits just yet

      1. Coaly
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Ideally yes

        If pushed which do prefer?

        1. waldo666
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          If pushed I think b) is a stronger combo

    2. Schwarzer
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Do you already own a LIV mid?

      B if so otherwise A.

      1. Coaly
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Yeah Mane

        Don't see doubling as a problem and Hazard has three tough games

  3. Schwarzer
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Would you do this for a -4? Normally I'm loathe to take hits for defenders but Amat is now a non-starter and I'd only have two playing defenders without these transfers (Holebas and Smith both suspended).

    Walcott > Hazard
    Walker > Pieters
    Amat > Evans

    Cheers

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      I think I have the same defence as you. I think I'll be taking a hit elsewhere so I'm just hoping Amat finds a way back into his manager's plans. Hopefully Walker will be fine. But if this a way of getting Hazard then go for it.

      1. Schwarzer
        • 14 Years

        Thanks mate

      I'd probably save it tbh, looks solid to me.

        Probably saving but just putting the boat out there. Cheers.

      I'd save for this week, not keen on the Soton double up though

      1. Parm
        • 12 Years

        Yeah, I would remove Redmond but I think his potential replacements are just a volatile. Thank you.

    3. Freshy

      Sanchez and Redmond Cout and ?
      CHE Defender?

      1. Parm
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Keeping Sánchez for now, happy with just Firmino.

        Looking at Zouma in a few weeks for value.

    4. fedolefan
      • 10 Years

      Redmond to Snodgrass. :O

      P.S. I sold him Friday night.

      I don't believe so mate but people outside the UK are ineligible for prizes

      Prizes are but there's no harm in entering just for #pride.

      What was the qualification score?

      1. Parm
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        I reckon it'll be 55+, not exactly a big week for the fpl vets.

  6. Mr. O'Connell
    • 12 Years

    Sanchez > Hazard
    or
    Walcott + Rashford > Anichebe + Hazard

    1. Rusty Nail
      • 8 Years

      Ugh Anichebe no likey

    2. Wouter
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Anichebe?? Going 352 or something?

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Haz Cout Firm Sanch Allen
        Kun Lukaku

        So he'd never get in the starting XI

        Don't think he's a terrible option for 4.5 personally. As a Sunderland fan and watching how we played with him in the side yesterday (i.e. meant Defoe wasn't isolated and completely marked out the game) I believe him to be nailed if he can stay free from injury. Hopefully Moyes knows what's good for us.

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years

      B

    4. Mr. O'Connell
      • 12 Years

      cheers. it's for a hit but it def helps with the balance of the squad. Rashford is too much money on the bench every week.

    Repost:
    Botommed:

    I panicked yesterday morning and did a -8 which was Clyne, Lallana and Ozil to Haz, Gundo and Alonso.

    I meant to transfer out Wally but did Lallana instead. I have been thinking about bringing Lallana back in for Wally for a total of -12. The logic is that everyone seems to be making -4/-8 transfers to get Haz and sort out their DEF. Also I believe that Firm and Cout won't be back in time for the game against Saints.

    I think that this IB is better than any to take big hits as everyone as atm.

    Yay or Nay!

    Cheers everyone!

    1. liiusions
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Definitely not worth it

    2. Will
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Not worth it.

      If you're right about Firm/Cout being rested, then Liverpool much less likely to rack up a cricket score away at saints.

    3. big_cliff
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      "Also I believe that Firm and Cout won't be back in time for the game against Saints."

      On what information do you base this belief?

      1. Rusty Nail
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Not sure firmino doesn't even start for brazil

  9. Joyce1998
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    right what would you recommend with this lot

    de gea, jaku
    shaw, williams, evans, pieters, amat
    sanchez, coutinho, firmino, gund, allen
    kun, lukau, austin

    1 Ft, 0 itb

    thinkin sanchez to haz and awilliams to alonso but still unsure, nothin wrong with sanchez imo but haz is a threat

    1. liiusions
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      I'd maybe look at ditching Shaw, surely you can't ditch Williams before Swansea at home?

  10. liiusions

    Foster Jaku
    Fuchs Evans Pieters Holebas Amat
    Sanchez Firmino Coutinho Sterling Capoue
    Aguero Lukaku Austin
    1FT 0.2ITB

    Any ideas? I want Hazard in but I can't decide who to downgrade. It's clear it's probably going to have to be Sanchez or Lukaku but both have good fixtures coming up

    1. Geezer
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      seems like you have no other choice. But like you said Sanchez has good fixtures coming up, and Haz not so good fixtures but he keeps scoring

      1. Kante Be Bothered
        • 8 Years

        Chelsea fixtures very good in 2 GW?

    2. Grand Thibauto
      • 9 Years

    No matter how bad Saints are week-by-week, Chaz Austin always has the #numbers.

    1. Rusty Nail

    Any tips appreciated for my team:
    Grant Pickford
    Alonso Pieters Holebas (suspended) Smith (suspended) Amat (not playing)
    Hazard Sanchez Coutinho Firmino Gundogan
    Aguero Deeney Diomande (suspended)
    No FT, and 1.0 M in the bank.

    Have already done Sterling and Bellerin to Hazard and Alonso.
    But I`m not afraid of doing more hits since I only got 10 players playing next GW

    1. FPL Hitman
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Smith to Evans imo

      1. Geezer
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Cheers. McAuley worth the extra 0,2? Think it`s gonna be Amat out since Smith will be back after his suspension

        1. Rusty Nail
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          Yes

        2. FPL Hitman
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          And u will have 5 playing defenders 4.5 and above once they return from suspension. Saving 0.5 now can be used to upgrade someone else later.

      2. IWR
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Smith to Brom def.

  14. JÆKS ⭐
    • 9 Years

    Got this team for next week for a -4:

    Cech
    Lovren Alonso Pieters
    Hazard Firmino Coutinho Siggy
    Aguero Lukaku (C) Austin

    Bench: Pickford Fletcher Holebas Amat

    Like the look of it, would have been some big points if I got these players this week 😀

  15. Geordienufc1
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    As someone averse to making early transfers, I can't help but feel like I'm going to get burned the week I try it (ie this week). Are we expecting Coutinho will play the game after international break?

    1. Shultan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      I hate doing early transfers uswell but this year the pruce rises & drops are happening so fast!

    2. FPL Hitman
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Doubtful. He may come on as sub. Sturridge would play upfront most likely.

    3. Rusty Nail
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      50/50 appearance of the bench imo

    4. Geordienufc1
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Hmm, cheers, not great odds considering I'm looking at bringing him in.

      1. Rusty Nail
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Everyone owns him at this point so won't lose out whether he starts or not

        1. Geordienufc1
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          True, although bringing him in for Lallana, who's more likely to play, makes it slightly less attractive.

          Will Coutinho triple rise this week do we think?

          1. FPL Hitman
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 12 months ago

            It is matter of 1 week only. Coutinho better option for the long term.

            He will rise yes, triple don't know.

          2. Rusty Nail
            • 8 Years

            Transfers will slow well down after tonight so won't be for a while yet

    7 of top 10 have Hazard, 5 have Sanchez, 6 have Coutinho, 5 have Firmino 0 have De Bruyne.

    I have Firmino and Sanchez, but thinking of offloading Sanchez. Who to?

    Coutinho or Hazard?

      Hazard if u do not have Costa. Else hold imo.

    I've been punished already for my early transfers

    My team is
    Heaton
    Fuchs Pieters Lovren
    Sanchez Hazard Firmino Coutinho Walcott
    Aguero Austin

    Pickford W.Keane Amat Holebas

    With 4 south americans in my team and no one on my bench likely to start, do i take a hit to get rid of amat or holebas?

    0.3ITB
    I'm thinking of Amat->Nyom or Holebas -> Brunt

    1. Geezer

      Holebas will be back. Amat seems to have lost his place in the team.

      Smith > McAuley?

      Double up with Brunt

      1. fedolefan
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Good on paper, but you may want to check out West Brom's recent history of keeping clean sheets.

    3. Parm
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Phil Jones at £4.7m, what a bargain given his clean injury history and good discipline record.

      1. Rusty Nail
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Just bought him thanks for the heads up

    4. FPL Hitman
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Any possibility Amat could come back to the Swansea starting line-up after yet again conceding 3 goals?

      1. Z
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Unlikely.
        Hoorn scored this gameweek, Mawson scored (wrong way) last week.
        They're the only source of their goals.

        1. FPL Hitman
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          On a more serious note, surely Amat should make way for Mawson then.

      2. Rusty Nail
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Swansea so bad they might as well go 5 at the back at this stage

    5. Schwarzer
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Is Kingsley a guaranteed starter for Swansea? Or is the backline still being experimented with?

      Cheers

      1. Rusty Nail
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Wouldn't want regardless

      2. FPL Hitman
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Apparently he was poor. Manager still unsure whom to field as all are poor atm.

        1. Rusty Nail
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          Think Mr Bradley is out of his depth there won't last much longer. Big Sam job at Swansea

          1. Schwarzer
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 12 months ago

            Thanks guys, should steer clear then!

      They are doing well at the minute, I enjoy watching them as a neutral—but when I step on the pitch it is war.

      Good man Troy. I'm sure Jurgen laminated that qoute and put it on the dressing room wall ( not).

      Reel your neck in lad. You look like a turtle already. No need to make yourself worse

      1. KingNidge
        • 9 Years

        Haha tremendous

      2. Rusty Nail
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Better hope he ain't lurking he does a bit of training with his pal Anthony Joshua

      pretty amazed by how liverpool replaced the sss+gerrard combo and played good football again

    8. Rusty Nail
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Michael Keane on the rise at 4.9m. Why would anyone want any Burnley defender is bizarre especially at that price. Keeper bailed them out so many times their defence been very fortunate

    9. Kaneyonero
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      LMS safety score?

      1. Rusty Nail
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        39 I think

    10. Kitman

      Is it worth downgrading lukaku to fit in coutinho?

      Already have firmino, hazard, Sanchez and kun as my other big hitters

      1. Rusty Nail
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Lukaku is a big hitter this year

      2. Lovren an elevator
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        It might be worth downgrading Sanchez. That's what I did.
        Got a midfield of Hazard KDB Coutinho Mané and Gundogan. Works a dream but best thing about it is 2 pool players imo

      Which game weeks are the African players likely to miss due to African cup of nations commitments?

      1. liiusions
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        21-24 I believe

        1. Lovren an elevator
          • 9 Years

          I'm wondering, do they leave for Africa earlier than that though to train with their respective teams?

      How long until price changes?
