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.

    I have Matsuyama, Snedeker and Langer (500/1).
    Wish me luck....

      I have Matsuyama, Snedeker and D Johnson all e/w so I'm with you all the way

    Toby's haul is hurting me more than most. I've had him all season and stupidly ditched because of the WC

  3. BullDogTevez
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    RIP WC's

  4. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    In hindsight, taking out Kane, Alli, and Simpson for Mitrovic, Lennon and Darmian was pretty stupid.

    trying to think positive. An Everton clean sheet and a Lukaku brace could turn this GW around.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Everyone has Lukaku, nothing can save this. This ruined our seasons

      1. funnyoldgame
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        my mains rivals don't have any Everton players and thats where my main focus is!

    2. walkman666

      Partially. Unless your Everton defender is Phil Jagielka.

    3. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Bolaise brace, Delaney CS and Robles pen save

    Comments and replies I made and got from users on this site couldn't have been more wrong this week: "Sell Vardy, not Kane." "I'd avoid Moreno." I'm not getting any CP defensive cover." "I think Sakho is pretty nailed." "Your differential (Siggy) is going to blank." "Why do you need Tottenham cover?" 🙂

      The last thing people want to hear right now is this.

      1. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I didn't listen much, so I'm pretty fine with it 😛

    2. Chucky

      😆

    3. La vida FPL

      Same. Why do we pay for membership?

      1. ZLNR
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        See below

      2. Clump
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Because many weeks you get spoon fed.
        Stop with the grumbles.

    4. ZLNR
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      And how many times has advice here earned you points most weeks for me even just by spotting players that people are adding to their radar in weeks when I don't see all the games!

      1. Uncle John from Jamaica
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Did anyone force you to make changes too?

      2. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Obviously, I did say that some of those advices were mine. One thing I said here and was smart, was that people should try to keep their perectly fine teams as similar as possible and just slightly adjust them to the DGW. Not many people listened to that, I guess.

  7. sergioaguero67

    Barkley injury status?
    Is it safe to prefer Origi over Firmino?
    Please help.

  8. Studgie G
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    one good thing out of this is villa are going to get spanked

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yup, Martial (C)

  9. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    58 with Robles, Delaney and Lukaku (C) left

    That'll do considering the circumstances...

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      You should be well happy.

  10. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Wow

    I brought Darmian in on my WC

    Demechellis is a better defender

  11. Zizoulicious
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Is this GW the biggest man made fantasy football scout disaster of all time??

  12. Clumsy Sakho
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Ivan Bolasie and Lukaku, to Sturridge Payet and Rojo, thoughts?

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Looks good,only Rojo doubt.

  13. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Think this might be the most disastrous week in fpl history

  14. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    45 points. Pathetic.

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      68 points. bloody atrocious. i wished i never used my wc so early in the season

  15. Sid07
    • 11 Years

    Wish a was a casual for gw33:-)

  16. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Any mathematicians want to add up the points I've missed?

    Hennessey
    Fuchs
    Williams
    Moreno
    Ozil
    Alli
    Siggy
    Vardy

    Cheers.

    1. Zizoulicious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yes wildcard to the power of -20

    2. Clumsy Sakho
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      65

    3. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      It's too depressing to think about.

  17. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    The question is - would any of you wildcarders ever not make the same decision you did?

    We'll always chase the double game weeks.

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I wasn't chasing DGW, I was chasing ML and its destroyed me.

      If I was in front no way I would have made mass changes

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I'd make the same choice every time. Just one of those weird weeks.

      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      If there weren't chips we'd have WC'd next week

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Good point.

      2. ZLNR
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        My exact position as used an early BB in November or so

    3. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I think its the set up of it. In previous years you can WC in the actual DGW. If you wanted to BB or TC you have to WC the week before.

    4. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Nope. We made the right strategy moves for the Dgw, yet we likely did not hedge against the fact that the studs we sold were studs for a reason. It is an all or none dgw strategy that looked passed this gw, and is a crushing lesson.

    5. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Well to get a decent team for the DG34 I needed to WC that's a given, so can't question using the WC in that regard.

      You can't really be annoyed when SGW X player did well. I mean Mahrez and Kane did nothing this GW, I bet people who retained them are now conflicted on what to do....

  18. hurrrrr
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Reading some of these comments I almost feel lucky for forgetting to use my WC..

  19. mm0507

    My last gameweek team would have 80 points. 80!!!

    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Oh crap. I benched Lamela, Vertonghen and Bojan in my Knocks & Niggles draft league.

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Silly Billy. I mean, for picking Lamela ... 😉

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Why ? 😕

        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        He's great when he gets games.

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          1. Eden Hazardous
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 11 months ago

            Why do you hate him?

            1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 11 months ago

              Because he is, and has been for a long while, an awful footballer. 🙁

              1. Eden Hazardous
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 11 months ago

                Poch disagrees. Me too.

                • 12 Years
                9 years, 11 months ago

                We're watching different players then Doos

    2. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      😆

      You deserve it for not selling me Lamela and Vertonghen 1 month back! 👿

        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I think that cements my mid table spot.

        1. Eden Hazardous
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Same. I stopped claim/drops this GW. Officialy gave up. Still manage my starting 7 tho 🙂

  23. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…

    2. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      He might be a player to just buy at the start of next season and leave him in.
