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.

      B. If you haven't got Hazard think Pedro is a good shout (I've doubled up instead of getting Costa)

  4. pax888

    64 points inc bonus!

    With Coutinho captain I'm pretty happy with that.

    Coutinho ➡ ?

    a) Payet - pretty much all WHU play goes through him, inc. set pieces. Two tough-ish fixtures coming up.

    b) Mane - Nice fixtures. Will the Liverpool attack be as potent without Coutinho?

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

      B

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

        Perhaps Payet in a few weeks, but feel the points ceiling with Mane is far higher over the next few weeks.

  10. PvA

    21 points before today with Coutinho (c)

    47 after BPs

    It's all down to the username change

      45(-8) over here. Same boat Berbs. Had 3 players that didn't play, and Holebas and Amat are coming in for them

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years

        Doesn't matter, we've got other things to be pleased about 😉

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years

          I'm enjoying real-life football a lot more than fantasy football this year 😉

    Holebas flagged

    Is he even injured?

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

      I don't even care. Dropping him like it's hot

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

      Knock and should recover and start the next game

  13. GE
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Fuchs -> Cedric and
    Coutinho -> max 9.2

    Who max 9.2?

    Current front 8:

    Sanch/Haz/Firm/Cout/Siggy
    Aguero/Austin

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

      Who's the third forward?

      1. GE
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Playing 3-5-2, Anichebe is the third, selling price 4.5.

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

          Personally I'd probably look to get some Tottenham coverage in, three home games in the next four again weak opposition with a full strength side. Prefer Kane but obv that won't work for you.

          1. GE
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Can't afford Kane, but Eriksen or Alli could give points 🙂

    2. User
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      IMO Mane is probably the best option. Walcott is an option too if you have more faith in him than I do.

      Alternatively, you could look to downgrade Coutinho to a cheap midfielder and get someone like Costa/Kane/Ibrahimovic if you can afford to do so.

      1. GE
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks, it's probably down to Mane vs Eriksen for me. Unfortunately I can only afford a 8.9-striker if I downgrade Coutinho to De Roon.

  14. Nicoson

    Lukaku ozil to kane siggy for -4?

  15. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years

    4th mid?

    A) Snodgrass

    B) Moses

    C\) Zaha

    D) Keep Gundo

    Cheers

      c

      Nearly bought him before this GW, but went Phillips instead..!

      1. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Zaha? Interesting

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

          Wish I'd paid attention to the stats. Out of him, Snodgrass and Phillips, Zaha's looked the best - I was just worried about end product, in particular his finishing.

          So of course he scored this weekend!

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

          Fixtures not bad, either.

          Also, seems he's nailed on this season and he doesn't seem to get subbed early much.

    2. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Slim pickings... I'm guessing massive frontline.

      A for gametime and potential.

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

      i think we can get away with D for one week, expect him to start vs city. After that, I like C personally.

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

      Somewhat depends on your coverage in your team but I actually quite like B, I suspect I'll be in the minority there but I think Moses could provide great value and consistent points with upcoming fixtures.

    2. sminkypinky

      Well done. I'm sliding ever further.

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

    So this upcoming GW is my throwaway GW, after that, no more hits unless injury happens.

    That's a vow for the rest of the season.

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

      Of course ;)...

      Once a hitman, always a hitman

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

        Shhhh let me have my moment 😉

  19. Can’t beat em so&hell…
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Lukaku + sterling -----> Costa + Walcott

    Can't go wrong with that right? Even if it is for -4...

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

      Looks good

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

      Not Kane? Just with Costa yc situation?

  20. Taribo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Cout & Kaku > Kane (c) & Zaha -4 good moves?

    Could afford Kane + 7.2m, but like Zaha & the spare 2m.

    Foster
    Fuchs Alonso McAuley
    Hazard Cout Firm Siggy
    Kaku Kun Austin

    (Grant, Friend, De Roon, Amat) 0ITB, 1FT

  21. Samurai Blue
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Which of the following pair you think will get the most points in December?

    Aguero AND Walcott
    OR
    Ibrahimovic AND De Bruyne

    Have a gut feeling KDB will do better than Kun this coming month.

    1. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Clearly Aguero and Walcott imo

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

      Ibrahimovic is the negative factor there

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

        Ibrahimovic because of the favourable fixtures for Man Utd. Just FYI rest of front players are:

        Hazard, Firmino, Siggy, Fletcher, Kane, Austin

    3. Guba
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      agree with above, A for me

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

        Hmm yes seems A is a better pair. But I can't keep both Kun and KDB. Maybe Costa instead of Ibra?

  22. aleksios
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Deeney to Austin for a hit?

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

      should've used your FT for that

    2. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn't

    3. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Should've done it weeks ago. I'm so mad at myself! :angry:

      1. Arteta
        • 10 Years

        1. aleksios
          • 10 Years

          I had 2 ft but already did cout to pedro and williams to pieters...now thinhing about it..

  23. C_G
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    who to get rid off for Siggy?

    Firmino or Mané

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Mane.

    2. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Neither.....

  24. KUNingas
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    So Kane or Costa for Lukaku?

    1. Ephurion
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      That's the question.

      You can do Kane -> Costa without money in the bank, though. The other way around might prove difficult in a few GW's. Also there's the YC situation. On the other hand Costa has produced better.

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

    For any games Coutinho misses, it'll be Sturridge/Origi who comes in for him, right?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Most likely.

    2. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Probably but I wouldn't get either of those in.

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

        Not looking to! Just wary that an actual striker might affect potential Firmino/Mane returns.

    3. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Most likely.

  26. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Pickford
    Clyne Vertonghen Evans Pieters
    Firmino Coutinho Gundogan Arny
    Kane(c) Aguero
    Heaton Giroud Capoue Amat

    0.5 ITB & 1 FT

    Coutinho > Eriksen look best?
    Seeing as Giroud is always on the bench i might as well do the same!

  27. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Safe to do Lukaku to Kane tonight?

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

      I just did

    2. Guba
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Just made the same transfer, will probably captain Kane too
