Rounding off the weekend’s entertainment, there are a quartet of teams battling for supremacy at opposite ends of the country. Liverpool search for their first in win three outings when they host Stoke City, while Tottenham Hotspur duel with Manchester United at White Hart Lane.

Liverpool’s attack is in fine fettle ahead of their double next Gameweek, given that they managed the joint-third-most goals (eight) and second-most shots on target (27) over their last four matches. However, prospective investors will be concerned that the Reds possess the joint-third-worst shot-conversion rate (8%) in home matches. As for the Potters, they’ve recorded one clean sheet in 10 matches yet conceded the joint-second-fewest big chances (two) across their previous four fixtures.

Spurs maintained their attacking dominance during the last four Gameweeks, registering the joint-third-most goals (eight), most attempts (80), joint-most big chances (10) and most shots on target (31). As for the Red Devils, they ranked joint-third-bottom for goals (three), third-bottom for attempts (36), second-bottom for shots inside the box (18) and joint-third-bottom for shots on target (10), augmenting the Lilywhites’ clean-sheet prospects.

    Now I'm really worried about Rashford's game time next week.

      Not as bad as I thought, this doesn't include autosubs I guess

  3. Villan14
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Migs/ robles
    Delaney / Sakho / Bellerin / Gabriel / Simpson
    Lennon / Sanchez / KDB / Milner / Payet
    Lusaka / Aguero / Mitrovic

    0.3 ITB, who would you FT out/in?

    originally was going to do simpson out to try get personal best highest GW score.

    1. BB-8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Keep Simpson. Get rid of Delaney if possible.

    FFS needs to go on suicide watch

    1. Jøssy ⭐

      Already there mate...

      Keep a close eye.... 🙁

  5. Mark-O

    The watchlist in this site is utter bull sheet.
    Rankings are wrong, and forms are wrong.
    Here are some examples:
    1. Fuchs and Toby at the bottom.
    2. Lukaku's form: A
    3. No sight of Alli in the midfield watchlist
    4. No sight of Schmeichel in the gk watchlist

    Any more?

    1. Jafooli
      • 13 Years

      😆

    2. Jafooli
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Is Lemon still higher than Payet?

    3. Red Scout
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Can't say I don't agree, I think it needs to be looked at again. Players shouldn't be kicked off just because they have no doubles

  6. Loðbrók
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    A) sanchez + sturridge + lanzini (-8)

    B) Kane + Iwobi + Payet (0)

    1. 420king
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      B

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      There's no way Iwobi is going to play 3 games in 7 days (GW33 +34). Wenger rarely rests Ozil and Sanchez plus Giroud, Campbell and Walcott are bound to get some game time. I'd consider going for Townsend instead if you can afford it.

      1. Forza Papac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Sorry I meant GW34 + 35

  7. The Raging Bull

    Are people still BB next week?

    1. Big Sum
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Why not?

      1. The Raging Bull
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Just asking as I don't feel too optimistic!

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

    3. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yes. I'm hoping it will ease the pain of this disastrous week

    4. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      With Cech benched and Jags injury.. Olsson no more playing.. I am still thinking..

      1. The Raging Bull
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Cech will come back in. I'm most likely saving till GW37

  8. Rolls-Royce
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Contemplating

    Jags-> Smalling
    Barkley-> Lanzini
    Bolasie -> Townsend

    for -8 to fix the trash!

    What say?

    1. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Townsend against Swansea might work. Ok if BB

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 11 Years

        Cheers pirlo

    2. madame shelly
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'd want gw35 players for hits this week. ease that pain

    Need a laugh.....

    1. Mark-O
      • 10 Years

    would have been over 40 points better off if I didn't wc this week..

    1. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Same. All my Spurs players, Vardy and Siggy all came in.

      Stupidly I dismantled a team that had got me on the cusp of the top 1k purely due to it being the better time to WC.

      I actually wish next season that we just got 1 WC for the entire season.

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

        yea, I was top 5k before this week, expecting to be out of top 10k by tomorrow.

    2. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Same here, sold siggy, hennesy, williams,vardy, simpson for DGW players! Think iv just ruined my chances of winning mini-league unless utd, & arsenal defence come through for me next week

  13. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Ironically the one DGW player I transferred in this week that I wasn't fussed on did the best for me.

    Step forward Damien Delaney!.

    Question I have is do I keep him for 34 and save FT to be rid of the Everton dross or do I swap him out for another defender of same value?

  14. gonzalocampos
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    What happens if a DW player does not play on the second game, do you get a player from the bench?

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

      nope

  15. Tysteren
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is it totally braindead to play Bellerin as tripple captain next GW? i have Sanchez and Aguero aswell, but im not sure. Im pretty sure i would have to play it in GW34.

    1. general_franco
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Most people would go for Sanchez in GW34.

    2. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I go for sanchez, more likely to get goals & assists than bellerin. Ageuro might not play both games as city still in CL.

  16. Red Scout
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Fpl towers really did a number on most of us with the one-chip-per-gameweek rule

    1. Fergietime
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      ?

  17. Murph1
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    A guy in my ML:

    Robles
    Jagielka, Smalling, Clyne,
    Mahrez, Bolasie, Payet, KDB
    Lukaku(C), Aguero, Martial

    Brutal.

  18. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Who's the most nailed MUN defender after smalling?

    Rojo?

    1. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I would've said darmian but after today not so sure! Lot of rotation with utd/liv/city defence wish id kept my leicster/spurs defence. They may not have DGW but atleast defence is consistent and keeps clean sheets

  19. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Non WC team scored 30 more this week. Not good.

  20. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Looks like the WC/DGW planning has cought out a lot of teams....
    i sold siggy,vardy, kane williams, hennesy,simpson...bringing in firminho,mignolet, gabriel, sagna, martial,lukaku,lennon..
    Blown my chances of winning the office mini-league!!

    Dear oh dear, just got in from a day out.

    Pure carnage. Jags' injury I can handle, it's the sort of thing that just happens, lovren hurts, I'll admit, but coutinho, yuck, the real icing on the cake.

    Wildcards/DGWs, eh, groupthink at its worst.

    Chat sh1t and, as they say, get banged.

  22. Schwarzer
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Didn't get to watch the United game, is Martial still worth a punt?
    Obviously the scoreline doesn't bode well but was it more a case of an inane United attack or a strong Spurs defence (or both)?

    Cheers

    1. general_franco
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Against Villa and Palace .. yeah. Against a good team, no.

  23. Hotdogs for Tea

    I have dropped 180,000 places lol

  24. Lecky Legs FC
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Dont know about the rest of you but i'm keeping SGW players like Siggy,Alli, Huth & Mahrez as i know if i did get rid it will come back to bite me in the arse.
