The Digest – Gameweek 23

Our coverage of Gameweek 23 concludes this evening as we take a look at the key player, the team and the talking point to draw our attention from the latest round of matches.

Marko Arnautovic continues to profit from his recent move up front for West Ham. Liverpool put four past Manchester City in their first match without Philippe Coutinho, while the steady firming up of the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) template squad appears to have accelerated, urging us to seek out alternatives.

The Player

Marko Arnautovic more than atoned for a disappointing double Gameweek 22.

After shrugging off a hamstring niggle, the Austrian delivered a goal and two assists in West Ham’s 4-1 win at Huddersfield to end Gameweek 23 as the top scoring player on 16 points.

That proved a chastening experience for the 114,000 owners who chose to part company before the Hammers’ head-to-head with David Wagner’s side.

Prior to his Gameweek 22 encounters with West Brom and Spurs, Arnautovic was one of the hottest properties around – having netted five times in as many appearances over Gameweek 16-20, he was drafted in by over 368,000 FPL managers.

But injury ruled him out of the trip to Wembley, leaving him with just five points over Gameweek 22, thanks to an assist for Andy Carroll’s late winner against the Baggies.

As evidenced on Saturday, Arnautovic’s out-of-position potential under David Moyes grows steadily by the Gameweek.

The underlying statistics also back up his claim.

Since netting his first of the season against Chelsea in Gameweek 16, he’s ranked fifth for both shots in the box (16) and efforts on target (nine) among midfielders.

Arnautovic has fired six goals across that stretch – that’s equal to Mohamed Salah and second only to Harry Kane’s 10.

With a home encounter against Bournemouth up next, he leads the way for new owners – over 146,000 have already recruited him since Saturday’s deadline.

The short-term schedule continues to smile kindly – over the next six, West Ham also host Crystal Palace and Watford and travel to Brighton and Swansea.

At the cost of just 7.0 in FPL, Arnautovic’s current form suggests that he could even remain a key figure in our squads when the fixtures turn against Moyes’ men in Gameweek 30.

And judging by his manager’s recent comments, we can expect the Austrian to remain in his new central role from this point onwards:

“When you play out wide, you might not get enough of the ball, so I actually think that we’ve given him a chance to get on the ball, to get more of the ball.
“He’s a big man to get the ball off as well, he’s got speed, he’s got power, so we’re trying to give him the ball as often as we can.

The Team

If there were fears over their Fantasy potential in light of Philippe Coutinho’s switch to Barcelona, Liverpool took a huge stride towards putting them to rest on Sunday afternoon.

A 4-3 win over Man City ended the league leaders’ unbeaten start to the domestic season and hands Jurgen Klopp’s men momentum ahead of a very encouraging run-in to 2017/18.

Indeed, between now and the end of the campaign, the Reds face just three of the current top eight sides – at home to Spurs in Gameweek 26, along with trips to Manchester United and Chelsea in Gameweeks 30 and 37 respectively.

From front to back, investment in Klopp’s side looks a wise move.

Salah’s goal and assist against Pep Guardiola’s team – his tenth double-figure haul of the campaign – was matched by Roberto Firmino, who climbed to second behind Kane in the FPL forward standings.

And Sadio Mane made it a clean sweep of goals from the Reds’ front three – he has now returned points in three successive Gameweeks.

Yet it was Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s goal and assist that could bring him to the fore as a potential budget gem at just 5.6.

Granted, his pitch-time is still unclear – only eight of his 20 appearances since arriving from Arsenal were in the first XI. However, he’s now been named on the teamsheet in three of the last four Gameweeks, bagging 28 points.

At the back, the premium-priced Virgil van Dijk’s (5.5) aerial threat should profit the Reds in both boxes.

Expected to recover from a hamstring complaint for Monday’s trip to Swansea, the Dutchman arguably looks the only secure route into a defence that, prior to the weekend, had the best home defensive record in the league.

Elsewhere in their rearguard, Andrew Robertson (4.7) and Loris Karius (4.8) could offer cheaper options to the expensive Van Dijk if they can cement regular berths.

But a double or even triple-up on their attack – providing Oxlade-Chamberlain nails down a starting role – could end up being the preferred strategy, though much depends on the severity of Klopp’s rotation policy once the Champions League resumes next month.

The Talking Point

The output of budget-friendly players such as Arnautovic has triggered the gradual evolution of a template FPL squad in recent weeks.

With the Austrian and Jesse Lingard offering mid-price value in the centre of the park, funds have been freed up to acquire the seemingly near-essential Marcos Alonso at the back.

Factor in the growing popularity of Son Heung-min and Firmino, along with mainstays such as Kane, Salah and Raheem Sterling, and suddenly there’s a very similar look to many of our line-ups.

Those managers chasing down leads in mini-leagues face a dilemma – do they keep faith with this template or look for ways of breaking it in an attempt to make up ground?

Looking at the short-term fixtures can help.

The recent injury to Gabriel Jesus means that, suddenly, Sergio Aguero is a far more appealing option for back-to-back home encounters with Newcastle and West Brom. Undoubtedly, he is one of the main captain candidates for this weekend.

Leicester’s upcoming batch of home matches – (WAT SWA STK BOU) in the next six Gameweeks – now brings Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy into the picture as potential alternatives for the likes of Son and Firmino.

Elsewhere, Arnautovic’s team-mate Manuel Lanzini and Bournemouth’s Callum Wilson have the form and fixtures as low-owned differentials.

And there’s also the January transfer window to help smash the currently accepted options.

Everton have already added Cenk Tosun to their ranks and are closing in on a deal for Theo Walcott ahead of three promising fixtures in four (WBA LEI CRY).

Alexis Sanchez’s apparent move to Man United could potentially bring last season’s top scoring FPL player back into the frame after a disappointing start to the season at Arsenal.

But if current press stories are anything to go by, it’s the Gunners themselves who could offer the most intriguing options as Wenger looks to restructure in light of the Chilean’s impending departure.

Not only is he looking to bring Henrikh Mkhitaryan to the Emirates as part of the Sanchez swap, the Arsenal manager’s mooted moves for Dortmund frontman Pierre Emerick Aubameyang and Bordeaux’s highly-rated Malcolm could help enliven Fantasy managers’ options in the final third.

      hopefully fixtures mean a free hit 🙂

  2. Football Heaven

    Wc...

    Courtois (Adrian)
    Alonso jones otamendi (chilwell, edwards)
    Son sterling arnie Mahrez Salah
    Kane Wilson (mcburnie)

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Looks decent. Mane might be worth considering

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I think you need a stronger bench too cover likely blanks GW's for Courtois, Alonso Jones, Ota and Sterling in GW28.

      1. Football Heaven
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Yh good point. Chilwell and Adrian are fine it’s just mcburnie edwards

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          I'd downgrade Courtois to Pope who has an excellent rotation with Adrian, and use the MITB to upgrade mcburnie edwards

    3. Walcoff life
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Good, but too expensive keeper combo imo

      1. Football Heaven
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Adrian I said only 4.3 with good fixtures so can rotate for bgw

        1. Football Heaven
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Is only

    4. Hotdogs for Tea

      You could get slaughtered in GW28

    Christensen owners stick or twist? We’ve been unlucky recently...

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years

      I got rid for Alonso today.

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        In an ideal world I would but just don’t have the funds.

        He’s such a great pick though

    2. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Been unlucky 3 of the last four...but got very lucky v Huds...watching the situation, but not making any move yet. Cahill injury to be monitored.

    3. Walcoff life
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Might start this GW due to Cahill probably out, but I agree with Dingo: Alonso seems essential

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I could do..

        Otamendi Christensen > Alonso Tomkins (-4)

        1. Legomané
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Why would you do that?

          1. Make United Great Again
            • 11 Years

            Exactly. LOL. Getting Alonso ruins my balance

            1. Gudjohnsen
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              Sold Christensen for Van Dijk as I have Alonso.

            2. Hotdogs for Tea
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              Holding Christensen does not help your balance much though either ?

              All Chelsea center backs are just about fit, do you really expect Christensen to be nailed ?

    4. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I'm keeping for now

  4. Tshelby

    G2g or do I need a hit somewhere?

    DDG
    Stones, Alonso, Kenny
    Son, Sterling, Arnie, Salah
    Kun, Kane, Quaner

    Elliot,- RLC, Mee, Duffy

    - Hope Quaner will play

    2. Legomané

  9. #Swish41
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Trying this with a new crew:

    1. DCL and Son > Aguero and 5.5 (-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. Annoyingly, 0.1 off the OX. Might go Dacoure (only 6pts less than Richarlison), and he rotates well with RLC

    Good move, or am I just trying to convince myself it is???

    Still got free hit and other chips...

    Would it be stupid to transfer out Firmino and Alonso to get in Aguero and Christensen for a 4 point hit?

      IMO yes

    5. Zladan
      • 6 Years

      If you were getting rid of Aguero and Christensen for Alonso and Firmino then yes. But definitely not the other way around.

  12. _Gunner

    Which is better?

    A- DCL > Wilson (bench Ogbonna)

    Making 3 moves this GW.
    Alonso + McBurnie/Quaner coming in for sure + 1 of the list below.

    1. Lingard (Alonso -> Kenny). Going strong in defence with Chel double up
    2. Pogba (Alonso -> Christensen) Is Pogba the man to step up?
    3. Son (Alonso -> Christensen) Fantastic option but too sideways?
    4. Sane (Alonso -> Christensen) A slight risk but potentially great.

    Lloris.
    Christensen*, Kenny*, Otamendi.
    Sterling, Salah, Richarlison, Arnautovic, Eriksen*.
    Kane, Firmino.
    Speroni, Ogbonna, Mee, Calvert- Lewin*.

    Morning dzzz, currently have 2ft and 0.3m itb but Planning to remove 3 players (Gross, Sanchez, Son) though over the next two gw's. so best option for 20.2m

    Adrian --- Pope
    Alonso Jones Sanchez* --- Duffy Gomez
    Salah Sterling Gross* Son* Arnie
    Firmino Kane -- Quaner

    A: Lanzini + Pogba + Stones (or Maguire who is the same price)

    Still in the FPL cup. Haven't drawn a dead team yet. I hope I draw a few during the business end of the season if I survive.

    Only 64k ish remaining now.

    Anyone else still there?

    when you fall asleep and miss getting Firmino in before he goes up... so annoying. was all primed to do.. 1 more episode of Homeland proved to be too much!! always regret these ones if i'm 0.1 short for a transfer or wildcard going forward.

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years

      sad

  17. Reuser
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Any thoughts on the following as decent-value 4th defenders?

    Chilwell - 4.3 - Whilst not necessarily nailed, seems very much in favour (missed recent games through illness). Sometimes plays OOP. Playing well. Good fixtures for much of the rest of the season.

    Dummett - 4.2 - Nailed and apparently one of Benitez's favourites. Mixed fixtures for the rest of the season.

    Any others worth considering? Wimmer/Cameron might prove good value under Lambert.....

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Tomkins too

      1. Reuser
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Tomkins would be a real option for me - if it weren't for their upcoming fixtures. Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea, United and Liverpool in their next 9.

    2. Park the bus
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Chilwell prob the best option. Dummett i'd avoid - looks like they are actively trying to sign a left back. Stoke have decent fixtures but have been a fantasy disaster this season - can't see that changing under Lambert.

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        agree with this

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

        Think that it my conclusion too - Leicester are on the up, Chilwell is playing well and getting forward on occasion.

        He played well against Chelsea and was unlucky to see red. Luckily he served his suspension in the cup, so should be nice and fresh for Watford on the weekend.

      3. Chazz69
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        That new guy Moritz Bauer for Stoke looked very strong going forward the other evening against United .

    3. Srv210

      How's Danny Simpson who will be back shortly & more nailed than chilwell I guess

        Quite the opposite. Where's the fun in playing this game when we all have the same players?

      Fantastic performances by non-template players will break the template. Got to be patient.

    Just realized I have no other choice but to do Alli to Mahrez for a hit this gw or else I will be priced out of Christensen to Alonso next week,would you do it? Or get Azpi instead of Alonso next week?I really want Alonso

    1. Sims
      • 7 Years

      I'd do alli to mahrez regardless of the alonso christensen thing

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        For a hit though?

        1. Sims
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Yes. Every transfer is wort 4 points anyway imo. If u do it for free next week you're giving up on some other transfer for free which you'll end up taking a hit for

            • 7 Years

            Haha thats correct!

    Why are people with huge TV of 105 or 106 so worried about .1 rise or fall that they bring in players before the mid week games are played ?

    TV is becoming an obsession

    1. Sims
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Because it might lead to a situation where you're .1 short of something. It's not about TV it's about avoiding such situation's at this point

      My TV is 106 and I decided to wait until the end of a game week 3 weeks ago...and got a player for .1 more

      Ending up being .1 short of christensen to alonso for free last week. Had to take a hit

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Agree with this

      2. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I fully understand that, do it myself and have done so this week but my TV is not great. Ofcourse being mindful of TV is hugely important but once you have actually built a big TV surely it’s time to consolidate rather than risk midweek injury?

        I am sure many would still be chasing the .1 for ‘the move that I wouldn’t be able to afford without it’ with a TV of 110 ... as I said it seems like bit of an obsession

        No. 3 in the world has a TV of 103.7 btw

      3. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Of only you didn’t do Alli to Lingard - no hit and and 100 up ... that darn 0.1 eh 😉

        Good score nevertheless 🙂

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          But I know you probably couldn’t afford Alonso with out the Lingard move 🙂

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I used my 2FT last night because if I let Richarlison drop I'd be priced out. TV is an important aspect of the game, that's not to say the most important thing.

      balancing act - no point going gung ho on every transfer on a saturday night but equally there are times when it makes sense to do early

  21. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Which of these would be your priority to bring in right now?
    1. Pogba.
    2. Son.
    3. Sane.

    Current Mids- Salah, Sterling, Arnie, Richarlison.. (Eriksen to go).

    1. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Pogba

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Mahrez over all of them

    3. MTPockets
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Sane, or just keep Eriksen.

      • Chazz69
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        2

      • Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Mahrez

    4. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I have Kane, Eriksen and Son. Would you keep them this week then get rid of Eriksen the next? Plan will be to move to Mahrez most likely

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I would look at necessary changes first for any failing, injured or rotated players - Christensen, Abraham etc - before ‘desired’ changes

        Mahrez may yet move club so maybe worth waiting a bit ?

      Morata to score hat trick vs Norwich tonight..

      1. Park the bus
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        would put the brakes on my Firmino transfer

      2. MTPockets
          6 years, 2 months ago

          meh

        • Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Not sure he will even play

      3. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Sell who for Alonso?

        A) Duffy
        B) Ogbonna
        C) Mee
        D) Kenny

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          C

        2. Dannyb
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          D surely

      4. Numb
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        If Arsenal beat Chelsea in the EFL then GW28 is going to be a bit of a non event, right? Would be just City / Arsenal with a blank and no one has Arsenal players.

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Yep

        2. Park the bus
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          yeh will be a bit annoying tbh. im geared to use my free hit as main rival has used his and has a team littered with City Utd and Chelsea.

        3. MTPockets
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Yep and even that may just be rescheduled for midweek.

            1. Numb
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              True

        4. FootballFanatic365
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          lingard + DCL > Wilson + Albrighton /Ox (4)

          1. FootballFanatic365
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            (-4)

            also ox or Albrightn

        5. CookiesnCream
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          DDG
          Alonso Otamendi Masauka Dunk
          Ali Sterling Salah(vc) Lingard
          Kane(c) Firmino
          Elliot RLC Mbemba Quaner

          1ft, 1.8 ITB

          Confused about my next move:

          A. RLC>Arnautovic, DDG>Pickford
          B. RLC>Ox
          C. Lingard>Arnautovic
          D. Lingard>Mahrez, DDG>Pickford
          E. Mbemba>Stones
          F. Mbemba>Maguire
          G. Something Else

          Want to have the option to rotate the Ali position until Gameweek 28 with players like KDB, Mahrez, Pogba, Hazard.. depending on my budget restrictions.

          1. Double Entry
            • 7 Years

            All > Arnie
            Then next week RLC > Whoever you can afford with the extra.

        6. dan_247
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          DDG Elliott
          Ota Jones Christiensen Mee Kenny
          Richarl Alli Son Lingard Arnie
          Kun Morata Carroll

          Would you do alli > Mane this week for free?

          Can't afford salah unless I do DDG > Adrian for -4

          1. Millie7
            • 10 Years

            yes

        7. NachoMan
          • 8 Years

          How nailed is Luke Shaw?

        8. Millie7
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Adrian - (elliot)
          Ota - Christiensen - Mee - Ogbonna - (mbemba)
          Hazard - Salah - Son - Lingard - (Carrol)
          Kane - Aguero - (DCL)

          2ft
          0itb

          Haz > Arnie
          Christiensen > Alonso
          or any other suggestions??

          1. dan_247
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            They are good moves. Do it

          2. sunzip14
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Haz+DCL>Arnie+Wilson?

          3. Smitser
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Yes good transfers. Or mahrez?
