Gameweek 13 is now brought to a conclusion with a couple of late Sunday afternoon kick-offs.

Manchester United entertain West Ham United at Old Trafford, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic back in contention after serving a one-match ban.

The big Swede notched twice in his previous league appearance and faces a defence that’s been breached 14 times in six road trips already.

Juan Mata, meanwhile, earned over 52,000 transfers in last week after bagging the opener at home to Arsenal.

Michail Antonio is the Hammers’ top scoring FPL asset, having served up a goal and assist in the last two Gameweeks. The midfielder has already netted against Man City, West Brom and Spurs away from home, though sits just one yellow shy of a single-match ban today.

Southampton and Everton go head-to-head at St Mary’s in the other 4.30 fixture.

The Saints’ defence kept Liverpool at bay last time out and could come under increased FPL interest if they can repel former manager Ronald Koeman’s Toffees.

Romelu Lukaku has netted just once in his last four league outings and suffered a price drop in the previous Gameweek.

With Man United, Arsenal and Liverpool in the next four, the Everton talisman needs a return to form this afternoon to stave off further transfers out.

    People complaining about a third striker only scoring 1 🙂

    1. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      could easily have had 2 tbf

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He's my second striker
      Deeney relegated to third

    3. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Very tempted to captain Charlie v Palace after watching yesterday's 5-4 but I have Kane v Swans.Both of those defences are shocking.

    4. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      My second striker. Anichebe is my 3rd

  2. Godot - Fashanu Zealand

    How did Walcott play today?

    1. Ibracadabra
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Average, but did get a goal, which is always good for confidence. Sanchez of course got 2 goals but the first was a gift and the last a tap-in from the counter attack. He was clearly the better player (also hit crossbar) but still not sure if the 3M+ difference is worth it UNLESS you captain him regularly...

      1. Toure The Route
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        ^Agree with you here.
        I don't see how Sanchez is suddenly essential again after a brace. He is still patchy, explosive but patchy.
        If he somehow blanks next week, people will go mad and the debate starts again.
        Unless you captain regularaly , Wally might just be able to cover a bit, and hope the difference invested elsewhere pays off.

    Please hold out Cedric

  4. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Come on Cedrick. 3 baps please.

  5. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Kane worth the extra cash over Austin?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Also have Costa and Aguero

    3. Ibracadabra
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Don't think so with the upcoming fixtures and (I think) Austin also on penalty duties like Kane.

      I plan to do 2 frees - GUNDOGAN / LUKAKU out to Eriksen OR Siggy + Austin.

      Seems straightforward to bring two in form players in though torn on Eriksen (fixtures) vs Siggy (form / pens).

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers! Would you do Eriksen/Austin for -4?

        1. Ibracadabra
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Depends on rest of team / subs. I am not sure whether to do Eriksen or Siggy - difficult one for me with Austin in for Lukaku.

  6. dhamphiir
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Both Cedric and Austin is on 3 Bps

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yes please.

    2. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Match winning bps to be added

      1. dhamphiir
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I don't mind Austin getting 3 bps and Cedric getting 2 bps as long as they keep clean sheet

    3. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Charlie match winning goal should sneak it?

  7. jurgenklopp.8
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    judging by amount of chances he's had, austin (C) next week?

    1. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Austin against palace or kane against swansea good bets!

      1. jurgenklopp.8
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        definitely, that 5-4 shows how bad they are at defending!

      2. *sigh*
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Just saying that above.I have both and think I'll go Kane c Austin vc

        1. Hooky
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          He'll get 3 extra to take him up to 38

        2. Railwayman

    3. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He's a popular pick in my ML, hoping he nabs something to keep them holding

    4. tm245
      • 14 Years

      Will be nice to get him in for 0.5m cheaper when his fixtures improve.

    3. Toure The Route

  16. Railwayman
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Kane in for Lukaku for a hit ?

    1. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      F yea.
      Catch Kane Vs Swansea as you won't feel like getting him in between..after this game, as they have a tough fixture sandwiched between three home games.

  17. Jay_
      9 years, 4 months ago

      That sums up Everton

    • Rh4ziel
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Austin still be added the winning goal bonus? Will he get the 3 BPS?

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Shows as 2 on the game.

    • Kizza_10
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yes or no ?

      Out: Lukaku & Coutinho
      In: Kane & Siggy

      1. My neck my back my Saed Kol…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Exactly the transfer I'm making. Brought in Siggy yesterday and now looking at either Kane or Costa tonight

        1. GreatCarragherReef
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          same boat- leaning towards Kane as would captain him next week

    • Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Who to sell stones or Morgan

      1. Jay_
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Stones will drop, Morgan should hold at least a week

        • Sponge-worthy
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Stones obviously.

        • Valencia's Left Foot
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Similar dilemma. Sell Stones, Williams, or Holebas. Williams awful atm, but Stones dropping tonight and at least Williams plays. Torn.

      2. That Was Easy!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Ibra just lost his bonus with that foul, awesome.

        1. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Lukaku got booked too. That useless waste of space.

        2. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Ugh, didn't mean to reply to you.

      3. PvA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        3 - Cédric (36)
        2 - Austin (35)
        1 - (30)

        1. Rossamous
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Cedric on my bench 🙁

          1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Why?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          winning bps to be added

      4. Jay_
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Valencia YC

        • FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Lukaku can suck my nuts.

          Koeman out. False messiah.

        • GreatCarragherReef
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          reckon costa straight in for lukaku or worth getting kane and swapping to costa once he serves his imminent ban?

          1. squits
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Im debating that now. I'd hope Kane against a poor swans d would be productive so probably going for a one match buy with Kane

            1. GreatCarragherReef
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              yeah my thinking too. I've been missing costas points for weeks now waiting for his yellow so a bit longer wont do any harm

        • Slartibartfast
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          For any games Coutinho may miss, does that make a Liverpool mid double-up look less attractive?

          Looking at potential Coutinho replacements and Mane looks a good option (already have Firmino), but obviously wary that their midfield may not be as fluid/creative without Cout.

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

            Their fixtures are still good, though...

          2. ★Kuntheman★
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            My concern as well. Going with just Firmino since he plays up the middle.

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

              Oh I'm happy to have Firmino 🙂

              Just wondering if it's still worth the double-up.

          3. Rossamous
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I would go for it. Many here are going with siggy

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

              I'm looking at Mane or Payet. 9.2 max. budget.

          4. HuttonDressedasLahm
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I have Milner as my second for what it's worth

          5. Toure The Route
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            This.
            Yea, he has been too integral to them along with Lallana .
            Can't say for sure they won't score a lot without them but heck as a betting man I would say their goals scored on a whole should reduce , can't say to what margin though.
            Keeping Firmino alone .

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

          Any advice on how to squeeze Sanchez in for Coutinho? £0.6m ITB

          Pickford
          Walker Lovren Holebas
          Haz Coutinho Firmino Siggy
          Aguero Costa Austin

          Jakupovic Pieters Amat Capoue

          1. Toure The Route
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            If you want Sanchez for cout, you have to downgrade siggy to a 5.3 fourth mid if you want two premium strikers as default .
            It can't be a big 4 midfield basically .


            I think you just got siggy and don't want to drop Firmino along with Cout or Costa for the upcoming fixtures .
            Your best bet is Aguero to Kane , Coutinho to Sanchez , and you might still be possibly missing 0.2-0.5 mil , not sure about the math there.
