Frisking The Fixtures – Gameweek 2 – The Weak

From the strong, to the weak.

Having examined the teams with the most promising schedules, we now focus on those with upcoming matches that suggest more pain than gain.

We look at the next four-to-six Gameweeks in an attempt to identify those sides that should be excluded from our mid-term plans based on their schedule. For the key teams identified, we’ll assess their prospects in terms of goals and clean sheets and also pinpoint the stage at which their schedule turns.

Everton

(mci che TOT mun BOU BUR)
The Prospects – Goals
The Toffees embark on a merciless run of fixtures, facing four of last season’s top six in consecutive matches.

Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United all recorded clean sheets on the opening weekend and are likely to offer stern resistance at the back.

While Burnley put three goals past Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, a trip to west London further limits the appeal of Everton attackers.

Ronald Koeman’s side only managed five shots from inside the penalty area in the 1-0 win over Stoke City, and still look to be searching for cohesion in the final third.

The Prospects – Clean Sheets
Given that Man City, Chelsea, Spurs and Man United scored 10 goals in total in Gameweek 1, it’s fair to say the Toffees’ defence face a tough task adding to the clean sheet garnered on Saturday.

City were joint-top with Arsenal for big chances (four) last weekend, while United and Spurs managed 13 and 10 close-range efforts respectively.

Everton did impress defensively against the Potters, though, allowing just four shots from inside the box and zero big chances.

The Turning Point
The back-to-back home matches against Bournemouth and Burnley from Gameweek 6 signal the start of a superb run of fixtures all the way up to Gameweek 21 for Koeman’s men.

Verdict
While Wayne Rooney and the defenders delivered last weekend, their potential over the next four Gameweeks looks severely limited. Gylfi Sigurdsson will also need to be worked into the starting XI, and he may need time to build up his match sharpness, having not featured for Swansea City since their opening pre-season fixture. Everton assets look best avoided until that Gameweek 6 twist.

Chelsea

(tot EVE lei ARS sto MCI)
The Prospects – Goals
The lack of a favourable match-up over the next six means the ceiling for Blues’ attackers appears pretty low.

The trips to Leicester City and Stoke look the “easier” fixtures, and the Foxes did allow 27 shots in their 4-3 defeat to Arsenal.

The Gunners themselves afforded Leicester just six shots, though, while Stoke were fairly resolute at Goodison Park, conceding just one big chance.

The Spurs and Man City clashes are certainly tough tests, so despite producing 19 shots against Burnley playing the majority of the match with ten men, Chelsea attackers currently have limited appeal.

The Prospects – Clean Sheets
Antonio Conte’s side were all at sea following Gary Cahill’s dismissal, and the Chelsea captain will now miss the next three matches due to suspension.

The goalscoring exploits of Spurs, Arsenal, Man City and, to a lesser extent, Leicester last weekend suggest that defensive returns could be hard to come over those fixtures.

But even the Everton and Stoke clashes are far from favourable, severely limiting the potential of Blues’ defenders.

The Turning Point
Things pick up from Gameweek 8 onwards, although encounters with Man United and Liverpool do interrupt that run. The schedule really opens up from Gameweek 14 – a period when Chelsea assets should be in high demand.

Verdict
Chelsea look set to remain on the periphery of our thoughts, with Marcos Alonso, for example, needing to rely more on attacking points in order to keep ticking over. Despite his impact in Gameweek 1, Alvaro Morata looks way down the pecking order as far as premium forward options go, while even the kindly-priced Willian could struggle for returns.

Crystal Palace

(liv SWA bur SOT mci mun)
The Prospects – Goals
The Eagles endured a dismal opening day against Huddersfield Town, although they did produce a respectable 10 shots from inside the penalty area.

But with Wilfried Zaha reportedly in danger of missing the next couple of matches with a knee injury, confidence in the Palace attack is diminishing.

All four away fixtures are testing, although Liverpool were once again vulnerable at the back in their 3-3 draw with Watford. All eyes will be on how Frank De Boer sets up his side away from home.

The Gameweek 4 trip to Burnley appears the “easiest” road trip, but the Clarets were solid at home last term.

The Prospects – Clean Sheets
Given Burnley’s heroics against Chelsea, it’s difficult to see the Eagles registering any clean sheets in the four away matches.

Much will depend on making the most of more promising home match-ups with Swansea and Southampton.

De Boer’s men did only allow Huddersfield nine shots last weekend, but coming up against stronger opposition, there is clear concern that Palace may struggle to keep the goals out.

The Turning Point
Once an evil run between Gameweeks 6 and 8 is out of the way, the outlook begins to pick up for the Eagles. Their most favourable run begins from Gameweek 13 onwards, though.

Verdict
With Zaha set to miss at least the next two matches, the appeal of Christian Benteke looks limited in the absence of Palace’s key creator. Ruben Loftus-Cheek could continue to provide decent value, but despite the attacking potential of Patrick van Aanholt and Scott Dann, the Eagles’ backline looks best avoided given that clean sheets may be scarce over the coming period.

Also be wary of…

Bournemouth
Those who invested in Cherries’ assets for Gameweek 1 will see Saturday’s home encounter with Watford as crucial.

Eddie Howe’s side face a mixed run thereafter, with difficult fixtures against Man City, Arsenal and Everton.

A home meeting with Brighton & Hove Albion is a positive, as is to a lesser extent the visit of Leicester to the Vitality Stadium.

Four of Bournemouth’s next six are at home, but the confidence we have in the likes of Charlie Daniels, Nathan Ake, Ryan Fraser and Jermain Defoe looks dependent on their Gameweek 2 performances.

Stoke City
As with Bournemouth, four of the Potters’ next six matches are at home.

But Arsenal, Man United and Chelsea all visit the bet365 Stadium, while the Gameweek 3 trip to West Bromwich Albion will also be a tough match-up for the Stoke attack.

No Potters players boast an ownership of more than 5% in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) and there looks little upside in owning any Stoke asset through this stretch.

Leicester City
The Foxes’ fixture list remains tricky, with clashes against Man United, Chelsea and Liverpool to come over the next five Gameweeks.

A home encounter with Brighton and a trip to Huddersfield do provide some respite, and as his brace against the Gunners demonstrated, Jamie Vardy is capable of delivering against both strong and weak opposition.

Harry Maguire showcased his attacking threat once again with an assist in Gameweek 1, but the potential for clean sheets looks limited during this period, meaning that the centre-back may remain off our radars until Gameweek 7.

Liverpool
The Reds face a tricky spell from Gameweek 3 right through to Gameweek 9, so this weekend’s home fixture against Palace looks crucial for our confidence in Liverpool assets.

Jurgen Klopp’s side are capable of troubling any calibre of defence, so Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino all remain strong options.

But it’s at the back where investment is less likely after the lacklustre showing against Watford.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alberto Moreno are currently offering good value based on their attacking threat. However, although Nathaniel Clyne remains sidelined, rotation is still a concern, with James Milner and Andrew Robertson alternatives to the erratic Moreno.

    If Mane's out, I might just ditch all Liverpool assets entirely with their fixtures coming up

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      180 from "Why not triple pool?" 😉

      1. F4L

        6 years, 7 months ago

        haha yeah; just Mane makes that team tick, and without him, I can see more value in Spurs' assets; Kane Alli Eriksen triple up FTW!

        1. Essem
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          People said that about Coutinho as well.

          1. F4L
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            loosing their two best creative assets just seems one step too far for me

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Why is Mane out?

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

        He missed training today. Also, Klopp did mention that there were a few niggles in his squad so it's putting 2 and 2 together.

  2. OLLY G
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Who is more nailed, Jones or Blind? Jones l guess.....

    1. tafrère
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Jones.

    2. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Jones.

    3. ☆Khaz
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Jones, but he's not a long term investment.

    G2G?

    DDG
    Ake Stephens Danilo
    KDB Willian Ramsey JWP
    Kane Kaku Firmino

    Elliot Carroll Suttner Rosenior

    1. Random Name
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      i'd say so. i mean even if you wanted to make a transfer, i don't really see what you'd change

      1. Ephurion
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Danilo -> Bertrans maybe.
        Dno Danilos playing time prospects. Bit risky with double up in defense, though.

  4. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    So after this mane news, the armband goes back to lukaku

  5. Scratch
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Something I don't understand with price changes Take, say Alonso...

    He's had 47,000 NTO this week according to FPL and the Fplstats site has him at -46.4%.
    Fpl stats shows him as being 29,000 NTO away from a drop

    47,000 = 46.4%
    29,000 = 53.6%

    As far as I know, price prediction sites aren't aware of what % of transfers are from wildcards so where's the discrepancy coming from

    1. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Fair point. As an owner I'm not complaining.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      They must think about 50% are WC transfers.

    3. Krul Intentions
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Perhaps it's because the player now has a lower % of ownership than when he started to drop in value and consequently the number of sales in absolute terms necessary for the same level of drop is now lower.

  6. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Mane owners who is your replacement?

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Too soon to replace him. Have players on bench to replace him

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        1. The Overthinker
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Quaner Vs Newcastle at home

    Playing the draft game. Would you stick with King or transfer in Sturidge?

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      King

    2. Urchin
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I would say stick.... Sturridge may hardly play... Unless someone in that attack is injured

    3. Ógie

      King for the nailedness factor.

        Thanks guys, I love was just wondering how much Defoe would affect his returns

        1. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          His output might be affected somewhat but he should still do well over the course of the season.

    6 years, 7 months ago

    The Wimmer to WBA move surely is going to impact Hegazi's starts.

    Wimmer is 4.5 million though so may be another cheap option in the WBA defence. Didn't score for Spurs but that didn't stop Hegazi when he moved to WBA!

    Sticking with Foster I think for now until the WBA defence is nailed down as Gaz McAuley will also add further confusion and Jevans though he may be going to MCI.

          Yeah supposedly Evans had an £18 million bid from Man City, though rumoured to be rejected. Not sure why City want another injury prone defender.

  11. Voice of the Mysterons

    Another question for the draft

    Stick with Bernardo Silva or drop him for Klaasen?

    1. Ron_Swanson

      drop

    Hi All, new here, which 3 should play out of Monreal, Stones, Yosh, Hegazi, Moreno?

    1. Hazardous Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      The first 3

  14. Waxys
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    This draft is so bogus.

    I had Jesus Lacazette and Morata on my watch list and it gave me Sanchez

    1. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Others had them too 😛

  15. Voice of the Mysterons
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Got lost on the bottom, in the draft game would you Stick with Bernardo Silva or drop him for Klaasen?

    1. Voice of the Mysterons
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Sorry it didn't haha, what am I like

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        like a frog or a turtle, but not totally either

        1. Voice of the Mysterons
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Haha yeah

  16. ratski
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    foster (elliot)
    taa, suttner, cedric, bdavies (francis)
    zaha, ramsey, KDB, (RLC, Carroll)
    Kane, Luku, Jesus

    already played this weeks transfer so
    a. keep zaha, lose money, let RLC sub in
    b. Zaha to atsu (-4)
    c. Zaha to richie (-4)
    d. zaha to another max 7.0 (-4)

    cheers

    1. ☆Khaz
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Wait and see imo. I took a hit, though. Very hard to fix the Zaha problem with only one transfer.

    Can't find anything regarding mane on Google

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Ask Jeeves

  18. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Is there any source claiming Mane injured/out this GW or is it purely speculation?

    1. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Wasn't pictured in training. Will likely hear more tomorrow if it's true

    2. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      It's based on the fact that he missed training today LR. Also, Klopp did mention that there were a few niggles in his squad.

      1. Urchin
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks.. Had plabs to him in my squad to face scout picks... Not so sure now... Might go KDB... Want a different looking set of players....
        Any advise?

    Is the Everton game on TV tonight?

    1. Turbolag
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I know it's being streamed on YouTube for free.

      1. Waxys
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Everton's offical YouTube?

        1. Turbolag
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I assume.

      2. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Do they have paid content on youtube?

        1. Turbolag
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah, they have a paid service called YouTube Red now.

          1. Team Cruel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Right, didn't know that.

    2. Fire Chief Moe
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      None of the broadcasters deemed it worthwhile showing but it is on youtube I believe

    Who to replace Milner with?

    Foster
    Milner // Stephens // Kola // Alonso
    JWP // KDB // Willian
    Kaku(c) // Kane // Chicharito

    Elliot // RLC // Carroll // 4.0

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Walker

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Jones, Dawson

    3. Matamatics
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure if you want to take a hit, but I would look to downgrade to maybe a 5.0 player like Ake give you more flex in midfield.

  23. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years

    Haven't been on all day.
    what the f is the story with Mane.
    I just got him in.Have I injured him already.

    1. RLukaku
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah you've injured him

  24. Keno
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Is Mane really injured?

    1. Fire Chief Moe
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Its a hoax. He is actually so fit he's teaching Michael Phelps how to improve his fitness

      1. Point-one short
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Bad influence that Phelps. Did mane get a freak bong-related injury?

  25. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    what happen mane?

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

      Missed training. Klopp did mention that a few of the players had niggles after the intensity of the Hoffenheim game.

  26. TUFC24
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Need to get rid of Darmian and Zaha, should I take the -4 hit, or only transfer one of them out?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Depends on team. Zaha more likely, depends if you have 3 decent defenders.

  27. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Even if mane is out for this week, I don't believe he should.be remove from the team. Or.should he be replaced?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Price changes are unforgiving so early in the season. He'd be at 9.3 by the time he plays again.

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I agree.
        I would be under pressure if he would be falling.
        Best will be to wait for the confirmation

    2. Keno
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I would certainly replace him. No way I am having 9.5 worth not playing this week and having Carroll come in against United lol.

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Who are you bringing in?
        I am thinking to double up on spurs bringing in Alli

      I prefer not to move players but when they start selling there is pressure to maintain tv

      1. The Overthinker

        My initial plan was to bank the ft. Guess It isn't gonna happen

    There is attack on Barcelona:
    - At least 13 killed
    - Dozens injured
    - Probably 2nd van involved
    - Ongoing hostage situation
    - No arrest made

    Police call Barcelona vehicle crash a terror attack

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I would be disappointed if they arrested them tbh.

      Straight into a body bag for them scumbags.

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Not keen on capital punishment myself, but if they need to be shot to protect others, then of course that's the best option.

    2. RLukaku

      Just have no idea what these mentally ill terrorists think they are getting out of it

    Why would anyone suggest Mane is not fit? Reply to this with a source or stop writing it!

    1. FPL Virgin

      Are the mods on a Kit Kat break?

      1. Net Gains
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Erm no actually - that's an article saying Sturridge is back and not mentioning Mane!

        1. Turbolag
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Not the article, the gallery. Mane isn't in any of the many training pictures despite being a high profile player. It's not proof that he's injured, but it seems he's not in training.

    Why aren't the mods cracking down on the Mane posts? Before the panic spreads.

    1. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Seems somewhat far-fetched to me. Might be true but most of those pictures are of Klopp. 😕
