Fixtures

Frisking the Fixtures – Gameweek 17 – The Strong

After a busy week, with both Gameweeks 15 and 16 consigned to the history books, we now see a slight shift in the fixtures over the next four-to-six rounds of matches, with many sides set to benefit from a pair of home clashes in Gameweeks 18 and 19.

Man United, Arsenal, Swansea and Chelsea are four such teams, while Watford assets could return to our radars as their upcoming schedule improves considerably.

Man United

(wba, SUN, MID, whm, LIV, sto)

West Bromwich Albion and Liverpool are the only two sides from the current top 10 that United face over the next six Gameweeks, with the two home fixtures against Sunderland and Middlesbrough, in particular, looking very favourable.

The Black Cats rank third for shots allowed inside the box over the last four Gameweeks with 43, while although ‘Boro are a better defensive side, they’ve still conceded in each of their previous three away trips.

West Ham United also feature in the top four for the most shots conceded inside the box and big chances created, while West Brom have only managed one clean sheet in their last 13.

The Stoke City and Liverpool match-ups are slightly trickier, but there look to be plenty of opportunities for perhaps Paul Pogba, and certainly Zlatan Ibrahimovic, to harvest attacking returns.

At the other end of the pitch, clean sheets look a strong possibility against Sunderland and ‘Boro, with those two teams managing just five goals between them over the last four Gameweeks.

Stoke City have also failed to score in two of their last three home fixtures, while West Ham rank 19th for shots inside the box over the last four Gameweeks with only 21.

The West Brom and Liverpool match-ups are slightly unfavourable, but providing he stays fit, it’s hard not to see Phil Jones providing strong value priced at just 4.8 in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) over the coming period.

Arsenal

(mci, WBA, CPL, bou, swa, BUR)

Once Sunday’s trip to the Etihad is out of the way, Arsenal’s upcoming schedule looks enticing.

Shkodran Mustafi’s absence is a concern regarding clean sheet potential, but all five matches from Gameweek 18 onwards should provide Arsene Wenger’s side with a decent opportunity to register a shut-out.

Crystal Palace and West Brom have scored 11 and seven goals respectively over the past four Gameweeks, though, and do offer a reasonable goal threat.

Swansea City are also in good goal scoring form at home, so it’s only the Burnley match-up which appears to offer assured clean sheet returns.

Arsenal defenders may struggle to live up to their premium price tags, then, unless they can deliver some attacking points.

Those five fixtures are much more favourable from an attacking point of view, though, given that Swansea, Palace and Bournemouth are the three clubs who have conceded the most goals over the past four Gameweeks.

Burnley have also conceded 16 times in their seven away matches, while even the Man City and West Brom clashes could see the Gunners register a goal or two.

With the home fixtures being the more favourable, it’s Theo Walcott who could be set to benefit, having netted in his last two appearances at the Emirates, while Alexis Sanchez flourishes more on the road, scoring four goals and adding an assist in his last two away outings.

Swansea City

(mid, WHM, BOU, cpl, ARS, liv)

The Swans’ kind run of fixtures continues for four more matches, before their schedule turns sour from Gameweek 21 onwards.

From an attacking point of view, the outlook appears very bright, given that West Ham and Bournemouth rank second and fourth respectively for shots conceded inside the box over the last four Gameweeks, while, as already mentioned, Palace have leaked 11 goals in their last four encounters.

‘Boro’s confidence may also have been dented after shipping three goals to Liverpool in midweek, so Gylfi Sigurdsson should remain a leading mid-price option in midfield, while Fernando Llorente, who has scored four goals in his last two home matches, could continue to flourish at the Liberty Stadium in particular.

The next four match-ups perhaps aren’t quite as appealing from a defensive standpoint, given that Palace are in such strong goal scoring form, while Bournemouth have scored in each of their last three away matches.

The ‘Boro and West Ham fixtures appear more favourable, though, so Jordi Amat should prove to be a viable starter through the coming weeks, and offer solid value.

Once we hit Gameweek 21, though, it’s likely we’ll be looking to shed Swans assets due to the swing in the fixtures.

Watford

(sun, CPL, TOT, sto, MID, bou)

With only the clash against Tottenham Hotspur standing out as being unfavourable in the next six, Watford assets could be about to come back onto our radars.

The next two fixtures look very appealing against two of the leakiest defences in the Premier League, so Troy Deeney may have the ideal match-ups in which to end his nine-match goal drought.

The Hornets skipper was benched for last night’s trip to City, though Walter Mazzarri has today revealed that his decision was a tactical one – Deeney sits on four yellows and his manager was keen to protect him in order to have him available for the Sunderland encounter.

Stoke, ‘Boro and Bournemouth are all fairly solid defensive sides, but those fixtures should still provide the Hornets with a reasonable opportunity to bag a goal or two.

Etienne Capoue could also be of use over the coming weeks, then, particularly off the bench if we see some rotation over the festive period.

The defensive prospects for Walter Mazzarri’s men are also fairly promising, with the Sunderland, ‘Boro and Stoke clashes appearing the most likely to yield a clean sheet.

Sunderland have failed to score in their last two matches, while ‘Boro and Stoke have only managed three and four goals respectively over the last four Gameweeks.

While the Palace and Bournemouth fixtures are trickier, they still present decent match-ups, so the likes of Jose Holebas and Daryl Janmaat appear decent value options over the next month.

Also Consider

West Ham United
It’s at the back in particular where Hammers assets could be set to profit over the next six Gameweeks, with home fixtures against Hull City, and to a lesser extent, Palace looking favourable.

There are also decent away trips to Swansea and ‘Boro, so Winston Reid, who has scored once and registered three assists this season, may prove to be a decent differential.

The other two matches on the current slate are away to Leicester City and at home to Manchester United, though, so there is some downside to investing in a Hammers defender.

The fact that Slaven Bilic’s side have only managed two goals in home clashes against Sunderland and Burney is a concern when considering investing in a Hammers attacker, perhaps leaving Dimitri Payet, Michail Antonio and Andy Carroll on the periphery of our thoughts.

Chelsea
From a defensive standpoint, Chelsea’s next six fixtures (cpl, BOU, STO, tot, lei, HUL) are deemed the most favourable according to our Season Ticker.

Most FPL bosses already own at least one Blues defender, but should you not own both Eden Hazard and Diego Costa, there looks an obvious temptation to double up at the back, with Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta the leading options.

Only the Spurs and, to a lesser extent, Stoke match-ups look slightly unfavourable from an attacking outlook, so Costa and Hazard, providing he recovers from the knock that saw him miss the trip to Sunderland, should remain among the leading attacking options.

Middlesbrough
Of ‘Boro’s next six matches (SWA, bur, mun, LEI, wat, WHM), only the Gameweek 19 trip to Old Trafford is really off-putting.

Given that Aitor Karanka’s men have kept two clean sheets in their last four home matches, it’s members of their backline in particular that could appeal, with Ben Gibson and perhaps Antonio Barragan currently appearing the safest routes.

The fixture list is also pretty positive from an attacking sense, but with ‘Boro the lowest scorers in the top flight with just 13 goals, it’s unlikely that Alvaro Negredo, and providing he recovers from a foot problem, Gaston Ramirez, will be attracting much interest.

    4. Deano

      Should be more philanthropy from these players.

  2. 8ball
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Bottomed -

    Firmino to Lallana the best move? Any better option - 9.4m budget.

    Hazard, Siggy, Eriksen, Allen

    Planning on moving Hazard to Sanchez next week, so budget is more like 7.8m.

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Siggy, lallana, Antonio?

      1. 8ball
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Have Siggy. Between Lallana and Antonio, who would you pick?

  3. Fantasyfootballer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Foster Jaku
    Lovren Pieters Holebas Morgan Amat
    Firmino Sanchez Hazard Siggy Fletcher
    Costa Kane Nacho

    2FT

    A) Firmino and Nacho for Eriksen and Origi

    or

    B) 1 of the above and improve defence?

  4. Je suis le chat
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Hazard and 3.9 defender to Eriksen and Alonso for -8? Reckon Alonso will outscore Hazard with the 4 points headstart each match.

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Selling Hazard before Stoke and Bournemouth at home ? . You aren't even going to benefit off the move this week due to the - 8 . I don't think its a good move .

    2. teki0s
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Are you serious?

  5. Atimis
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    I've just realised that we would be more ahead just C Chelsea def every week 😀 lol

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Captaining Sanchez every week would outscore the scout picks, yet we have to roll the dice.

  6. Black Panther
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Looking to sell Nacho and Zaha with 2FTs this week, which replacements are better?

    A) Origi + Lallana
    B) Carroll + Eriksen

    1. Atimis
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'm about shipping Zaha for Origi, I recon it is good move ?
      In your case I would go A, more safe imo

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Of your choices A but I would rather Origi and Eriksen

  7. Firmy
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on Carroll as a differential over the next few GW's

    1. John t penguin
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Carroll will be more common over next few weeks

      1. Firmy
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Providing he stays injury free of course.

    2. VS10_
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Looking to get him in for Nacho and to also fund Zlatan next week. Confident he'll start again with 9 days rest after.

    3. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Not much of a differential on here ...

  8. Jazz!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Sadio Mané (c) anyone?

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Not for the derby at Goodison...

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I don't own Mane . Did you even look at my team before you suggested this ?

    3. makaveli123
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Firmino for me!

  9. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on the team for GW17. 1FT and 0 ITB. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated

    Valdes (Pickford)

    Alonso, Chambers, VanDijk (Evans, Amat)

    Payet, Hazard, Eriksen, Sigurdsson (Phillips)

    Anichebe, Kane, Costa

    1. Astronautovic
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Looks great. I would maybe play philips form over fixtures but i see also the point of starting anichebe

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks the plan was to save my FT and bring in Sanchez for GW18

  10. Here's Tom with the We…
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Hazard and Holebas to Eriksen and Alonso for free?

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Not before Bournemouth and Stoke at home

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Definitely, I'm just trying to figure is it worth doing for hits.

  11. Astronautovic
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Walker rose or toby?
    Who is the best choice and why?

    1. teki0s
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I went with Toby for attacking threat plus no YCs

      1. Astronautovic
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        How many yellows do rose and walker have?

        1. teki0s
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Walker 4
          Rose 1

    2. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Rose. Attacking threat vs. price.

      1. A.T
        • 14 Years

        Lots of bad decisions, being too cocky and lots of bad luck. Put that all together and it was one massive nightmare from start to finish. Pure torture 😀

          I know how you feel. Last season was the same for me.
          GW32 and forward took me from 100.000 to around 10.

      I will never be in it that is for sure
      I spent a good few years as a casual and did not keep track of fpl the years i went traveling doing the backpacker thing
      Only really sat up and payed attention to fpl the last 4 or 5 years or so after entering money/mini leagues

      Who is the highest ranked player in HOF to win fpl?

          Very uncharacteristic season for the J-Man. He said it on the scoutcast this week. He never recovered from the triple hit to bring in Sanchez first time around

    Evening lads, currently sat outside the top 2 million and a bit annoyed having been within the top 100,000 for the past 3 seasons so i've needed to switch things up to try and climb the ranks and done:
    Wilson + Hazard + Iheanacho + Karius -> Costa + Eriksen + Carroll + Forster
    Im not really too bothered about the minus points as i keep saying 1 transfer a week and keep having loads of players who are injured or dont start.
    Quick opinion of my team and transfers would be great!?
    Plan is to get rid of Kane for Ibra after this weekend as i've never liked having 3 players of the same team and Ibra looks to have very nice fixtures.
    Thanks in advance

    1 FT.
    Bank: 1.7

    Heaton
    Walker - Evans - Pieters
    Sanchez - Eriksen (c) - Firmino - Sigurdsson
    Costa - Lukaku - Origi
    Subs: Pickford, Capoue, Cedric and Amat.

    Any suggestions?

    1. JackBetherz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'd try and make sure you have enough money for Lukaku to Ibra after this weekend so maybe downgrade someone in the defence?

  17. lordkippe
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Know this may sound stupid, but going for 3-5-2. I have 1 FT now and my choice would be to bring in diomande for iheanacho, so Ive got funds to get in pogba and zlatan before next gw. But I can afford 1 or 2 price falls on iheanacho and thinking i can just wait until next week. Worth waiting to have iheanacho over diomande for this gameweek ?

    OK was getting carried away earlier with -8 or -12. Need to calm down.

    A) Firmino to 1) Eriksen or 2)lallana
    B) Llorente to origi
    C) both -4
    D) save ft and hope for the best.??

    Before everyone drops Nacho like a hot potato, isn't it likely that he will start at home to Arsenal? Pep likes to play the rested player, after all. Plus with Arsenal's and City's defences recently, there is likely to be goals ... And Nacho seems like one of the more likely players to be on the end of City's.

    1. CloudSky
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I dont think I want anyone as long as hes coached by Pep. Too much guesswork.

      Who knows what pep will do.He tries very hard to do the unexpected so more than likely he could start him.I think it was harsh dropping him in the first place.it was hardly his fault that they conceded 4 against Leicester.

        He had an ankle knock so was benched.

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Oh I missed that.still probably just an excuse to drop him.pep doesn't convince me at all.

          Source ? I didn't see anything

    3. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Best case scenario he will probably get 50 - 60 mins against a team that aren't conceding more than one goal a game . Pep hasn't even said anything encouraging to suggest he is going to start as far as I am aware .

        Was there a man city press conference today? One was scheduled but I haven't heard a peep

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          No I'm just saying I would need to hear something very convincing in order to take the risk on him starting .

    4. Arteta
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I don't think he'll start. Nolito CF/ST again.

        Source?

        1. Arteta
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          No source, that's just my opinion. Pep has a presser tomorrow and maybe he'll mention Iheanacho. We have to wait see.

    Opinions?
    Haz Sanch Theo Siggy Allen
    Costa Kane Origi

    Save right? Optimal would be Eriksen in but i don't really see it here..,

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

      good attack. save

      1. sminkypinky
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I kinda agree. Lets see this weekend through. Then rethink with two FT's. Also will know whether to keep Kane, is Eriksen a must have atm, will Lallana's streak continue, Zlat continuing his form etc...
        most likely a red this week but hey...

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Save, although I would be looking to ship Theo soon if he doesn't drastically improve.

  21. Differentiator

    ALERT!

    Think Mr Ronka has done Firmino -> Eriksen....!

      Not a surprise 😛

      1. Differentiator
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Casts doubt on my decision to keep Firmino :/

          5 blanks aren't enough?

          1. Differentiator
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Firmino has enough assist/goal chances, albeit not so much in the last few. Easy could've had a couple of assists though, bar some poor Mane finishing

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      What evidence do you have of this?

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        You can figure it out from cash itb and the player sold

    3. Deano
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Too late, this season is about getting in front of the curve.

      We've been pandered to in past seasons with cheap BWs that have lasted the journey.

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

        exactly this. got eriksen last gw

        .bringing big andy for next gw.

    4. Ógie

      Poor guy

      Poor guy every move he makes is scrutinized

    5. Arteta
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      4 weeks too late.

      1. Differentiator
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I bought Eriksen the week before he got 10 points. He was terrible so I sold straight away. More fool me, he's been incredible since.

        1. Arteta
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Ha, I feel you! I sold Azpilicueta in GW6 and the rest is history. 6 straight clean sheets, 8 in 10 matches. I got Alonso 2 weeks ago but to think that I already had the highest scorest defender in my team and sold him makes me a little bit sad.

          1. Differentiator
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            It's what we both hate and love about FPL, the unpredictability!

  22. UnitedFan
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Which keeper to start?

    A) Heaton (tot)
    B) Foster (MUN)

    Currently on Heaton.

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

      A

  23. Scotty B
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Pickford
    Clyne Vertonghen Pieters
    Firmino Capoue Sanchez Hazard
    Ineanacho Kane Costa

    Heaton Fletcher Evans Amat

    Firmino & Ineanacho > ?????

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

      Eriksen and Origi

      1. Arteta
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Good advice and I agree.

  24. Here's Tom with the We…
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Hey guys, really not sure what to do this week

    Foster
    Brunt Holebas Pieters
    Hazard Sanchez Mane Siggy
    Kane Costa Defoe

    Jaku De Roon Kone Amat

    2ft 0.1 ITB
    Don't want double West Brom defence really

    A) Hazard and Holebas > Eriksen and Alonso
    B) Mane and Kone > Lallana and Alonso
    C) Mane and Foster > Lallana and Lloris
    D) Foster > Pickford so I can have 2ft next week??

    Really stuck with what to do!

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

      Neither tbh. maybe defoe --> origi/caroll could work

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

        A . if hazard is out

      2. Here's Tom with the We…
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Wanted to keep Defoe for this week

        1. Here's Tom with the We…
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          I think A is the obvious if Hazard is out, cheers Hurrikane

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Kone to Friend and save.

      1. Here's Tom with the We…
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers. Think I'd rather do Foster to Valdes as don't want double WBA?

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          I'd go along with that. West brom just keep conceding exactly 1 goal.it's maddening

    3. lordkippe
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      difficult to find something obious to do. But could be wise to use the FT. Could be a little in front of afcon and take out mane to upgrade defense as in A!, But maybe wise to keep mane until he goes. If it were my team I would downgrade holebas to a boro defender. Maybe Holebas > Barragan

      1. Here's Tom with the We…
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        See above reply should I just get Valdes?

  25. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Kane will have to do something fairly extraordinary this weekend to stop him becoming ibra next week.

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

      Two weeks ago he was a season keeper?

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        It's a season of being only as good as your last game.

  26. TokyoRisingSun
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Anyone here captaining Eriksen?

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

      Plenty will to chase last week's points.

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

      was my vc last week with kane(C).

      might switch but then again tide could turn next gw with kane getting a couple of lucky peno's or taps ins

    3. Jack Burton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      It's on him at the moment

  27. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Keep Payet or move o Eriksen?

    1. aleksios
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      keep

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

      as i suggested last gw eriksen seems the better pick as he's playing for a better team

      but i expect payet to do well in next 3 (HUL swa lei)

    3. Arteta
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Keep him.

  28. aleksios
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    ok thinking about this for hours ..
    a)Firm to Eriksen
    b)Firm to Lalana and save money for next gw to do McAuley to Azpi/Alonso
    so which one?

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

      A.
