Gameweek 14 reaches its apogee with a pair of intriguing mid-afternoon match-ups. Liverpool look to build on their head-turning triumph at the Etihad when Swansea City pay a visit, while Norwich City host an Arsenal outfit that will be determined to bounce back from their home defeat to West Brom.

The Reds’ attack has kicked into life under Jurgen Klopp and ranks joint-top over the last four Gameweeks for attempts (67) and shots inside the box (44). Moreover, no side managed more key passes (55) than the Merseysiders during that period. As for the Swans, they place fourth-bottom for attempts (36), having drawn blanks in two of their previous three outings. Garry Monk’s beleaguered outfit has flattered to deceive at the back, too, conceding nine big chances since Gameweek 10.

The Canaries have battened down the hatches in response to their 6-2 mauling at the hands of Newcastle United in Gameweek 9, conceding just four goals in as many fixtures. However, goals (two in four) have not been forthcoming, with the Norfolk outfit also ranking second-bottom for attempts (34). The Gunners will feel they have enough firepower to break Norwich’s resistance, considering they amassed more big chances (14) than any side over the last four Gameweeks.

    Mane -> Silva or Coutinho?

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Silva

    2. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Neither.

    3. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Coutinho. He has higher ownership and is usually inconsistent so he'll score next GW no matter what

    4. mataave
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      or Hazard?

    5. RÏɠBY
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      C

  2. Every Dog Has Its Day
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Might just take a punt on Hazard.

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Im doing that. Unreal fixtures

      1. Stephen - Robot Daniels
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Unreal poor form.

    2. RÏɠBY
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      alzheimers

    3. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Ditto

    4. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Be honest, is the only reason for that the fact that you can afford him?

    5. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      and if he fails he's easily switch-able.

  3. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Montero 😆

  4. Roysgotnoboys
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Sanchez > Ozil or Barkley?

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Ozil by far

    2. SLB_1904
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      My question exactly. Keen on Ozil cause I got Lukaku and Deulofeu already. But Barkley's last two games though...

    1. Licky
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      😆

  5. Bellerinmondo
    • 11 Years

    Montero on against tired legs

  6. AleksanderVN
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Hazard:
    Bou (H), Lei(B), Sun(H), Wat(H)

    Just saying.

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      1 (deflected) goal in 14 EPL games

    2. red beard
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      This

    3. Sjaugen
      • 10 Years

      (b) 🙂 🙂

    4. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      How did he play today? Missed the game

      1. AleksanderVN
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I saw the second half. could easily had a goal from a volley Lloris saved brilientley.

    5. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Form?

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        He did nothing against Villa & Norwich at the bridge which were good fixtures.

        He's done nothing all season, each to their own.

        1. AleksanderVN
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I will try to be ahead of the curve. If he fails he is very easy to downgrade.

  7. ktk_interista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Stupid Wenger. How bad did Sanchez's injury look? Was he in much pain? Could he walk off the pitch easily?

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      He pulled up, wasn't on a stretcher and limped off but it doesn't look good

      1. ktk_interista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        2-3 weeks minimum if the injury is minimum then. Will miss all these plum fixtures. Sigh.

  8. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Moreno close to score !!! But this means minus bps. Off target is minus bps

    1. Red Star Toro
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      He's still leading by a nice margin

  9. thep025
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Sanchez surely out for some time now? Do i get in Ozil today itself??

    1. RÏɠBY
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      itself

  10. Sjaugen
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Need a Swansea goal

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      No I don't!

    2. Licky
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      No you don't.

    3. Sjaugen
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Yes can't have monero and skertl in the points

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I think we're safe. I have Migs

  11. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Without Sanchez Ozil wont score much with Campbell Giroud Ramsey around him

    1. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Theo back soon

  12. Chris_White
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Hazard (c) next week could turn many peoples seasons around

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      probably from bad to worse, but hey..

      1. RÏɠBY
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        😛

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      For the worst

    3. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Yep. Absolutely smashed it the last couple of weeks, huge points.

      1. Jax
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Lolz

      2. Demí
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Haha, admire your dedication to dampening hazard optimism somalion 😉

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          😉 I swear people are looking for a reason to be disappointed.

    4. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah, for the worse.

    5. Trae44
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Really want to take a punt but can't fit him in 🙁

      1. Gaffa914
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Sanchez

    6. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Would you get him ahead of Mesut?

      1. Chris_White
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        If I was lagging behind, yes

    7. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Hazard for Sanchez could be worth a try but for me it would mean no Aguero 😐

  13. jam
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone going Sanchez > Silva? Barkley is so obvious...

  14. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Time to get Hazard with those fixtures or KDB(have Kun)?

    1. southernpacific
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Tempted by hazard but he's not been in the points

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Silva??????

  15. Mr. Blonde
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Bloody hell the amount of whinging and whining on this page. Embarrassing

  16. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Chelsea attackers don't convince me. I think a couple of their defenders may be worth investing in (Zouma/Azpi) over the coming weeks...

    1. LewanGOALski
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Courtois (5.2 now!) is in for Fabianski for me as soon as he is back. Even for a hit.

  17. Stephen - Robot Daniels
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Can't believe there is serious talk of owning Hazard. I thought this place would attract people that took FPL seriously and knew what they were doing.....

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I'm thinking about getting Hazard and I'm doing quite well, good fixtures coming up and Chelsea looked a lot better without Costa

      • OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Come back after 1 month. Look at his fixtures

    2. A girl has no name
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Sanchez -> barkley or coutinho ??

    3. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Giroud angry at monreal for mishitting cross

      What a douchebag. Has cost him at least 2 assists

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I read this in a completely different way.

    4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Is it just my imagination or are there more injuries these days than 15 years ago? It seems like noone platsa full season anymore.

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        *plays

      2. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        There are but the game and training has stepped up in intensity. While that means the athletes are mostly in better shape, they are more susceptible to injuries as well.

      3. chinmusic
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Chelsea had no injuries to speak of last season

    5. TSILIKAFENEIAKOS
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I have Kun and Ozil.

      Sanchez to KDB or Hazard?

      1. SLB_1904
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        KdB

        1. jam
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          KdB

      2. XecutionerX
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Barkley.. Still plum fixtures.

        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

    8. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Did Costa throw a tantrum at Jose M at today's match? Or throw something at him?

      Read something that suggests big issues between the two....

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Mourinho needs to drink some Costa coffee

        1. Jafooli

      Bit stuck here. Help would be appreciated.

      I'm not sure if I want to keep Mane. But he's playing Villa at home next week.

      A) Mane -> Cout
      B) Mane -> Silva
      C) Mata -> Hazard
      D) Something else

      1. 4vets
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        "But he's playing Villa at home next week"

      • 10 Years

      1. Harper_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Ozil

    12. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      So Norwich can not be considered easy opponent no more.

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Captained Özil so worked out grand for me

    13. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Arsenal died after Alexis went off. They really rely on him.
