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 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
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 29 days ago

    RIP WC's

  4. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 29 days 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
      10 years, 29 days ago

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

      1. funnyoldgame
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 29 days 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
      10 years, 29 days 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
        10 years, 29 days 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
        10 years, 29 days ago

        See below

      2. Clump
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 29 days ago

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

    4. ZLNR
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 29 days 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
        10 years, 29 days ago

        Did anyone force you to make changes too?

      2. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 29 days 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
    10 years, 29 days ago

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

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 29 days ago

      Yup, Martial (C)

  9. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 29 days ago

    58 with Robles, Delaney and Lukaku (C) left

    That'll do considering the circumstances...

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 29 days ago

      You should be well happy.

  10. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 29 days ago

    Wow

    I brought Darmian in on my WC

    Demechellis is a better defender

  11. Zizoulicious
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 29 days ago

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

  12. Clumsy Sakho
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 29 days ago

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

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 29 days ago

      Looks good,only Rojo doubt.

  13. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 29 days ago

    Think this might be the most disastrous week in fpl history

  14. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 29 days ago

    45 points. Pathetic.

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 29 days ago

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

  15. Sid07

    Wish a was a casual for gw33:-)

  16. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 29 days 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
      10 years, 29 days ago

      Yes wildcard to the power of -20

    2. Clumsy Sakho
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 29 days ago

      65

    3. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 29 days ago

      It's too depressing to think about.

  17. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 29 days 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
      10 years, 29 days 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
      10 years, 29 days ago

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

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 29 days ago

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

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 29 days ago

        Good point.

      2. ZLNR
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 29 days ago

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

    3. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 29 days 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
      10 years, 29 days 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
      10 years, 29 days 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
    10 years, 29 days ago

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

  19. mm0507
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 29 days ago

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

    After wildcard I am on 43.

    • 12 Years
    10 years, 29 days ago

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

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 29 days ago

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

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 29 days ago

        Why ? 😕

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 29 days ago

        He's great when he gets games.

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 29 days ago

          1. Eden Hazardous
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 29 days ago

            Why do you hate him?

            1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 29 days ago

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

              1. Eden Hazardous
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 29 days ago

                Poch disagrees. Me too.

                • 12 Years
                10 years, 29 days ago

                We're watching different players then Doos

    2. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 29 days ago

      😆

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

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 29 days ago

        I think that cements my mid table spot.

        1. Eden Hazardous
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 29 days 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
      10 years, 29 days ago

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