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.

        Might be a certain symbol you are using in your post. What symbol immediately follows the =?

        Use words not symbols.

          So, the less than or equal to symbol can't be used any more?

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

    I have Firmino and Mané, and need to get rid of one for Costa funds. Pick one to ship, first to 3 wins

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

      Mane

    2. CFC1990

      Mane

    3. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
      • 9 Years

      I'm in the same boat, had Mane since the start, just got Firmino last week...

    4. Sweetboi

    Which transfer should I prioritise?

    a) Lukaku to Kane

    or

    b) Benteke to Defoe

    Or both for a -4?

    Thanks

    1. FPL_Sponge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A

  7. jeppee

  8. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    -8 done, sod it.

    Ozil, Antonio, Coutinho, Lukaku -> Sanchez, Zaha, Siggy, Costa.

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

      Before this GW, those would have been gem transfers.

      Right now, they're still really good.

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

        Yeah should have just braved up and taken the -12 before the Gameweek, had considered all of them but thought it was reckless. See how it goes now!

    2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Nice moves

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

        Watch them fail miserably 😉

    3. Arteta
      • 10 Years

      I like them all.

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

        Cheers 😀 They'll be disasters no doubt, but may as well try 😛

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

    Already did Coutinho + Lukaku ---> Sigurdsson + Kane with 2 FT.

    Heaton / Pickford
    Walker, Koscielny, Evans / Holebas, Amat
    Hazard, Firmino, Sigurdsson, Allen / Capoue
    Aguero, Kane, Austin

    Anything worth a -4 hit here?
    My season is shocking so I don't even mind a -8...

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

      Nope. Looks good.

    2. Lyonnais
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Heaton is a nightmare since I got him (of course after he was called essential).
      Walker and Koscielny are just not worth their price.
      Holebas ffs.
      Hazard stopped scoring after I got him in.
      Allen needs to go after the BUR game.

  10. fedolefan
    • 11 Years

    OMG, both Williams and Lukaku got booked. When did all of that happen.

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

      Both for dissent I believe

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

        Yup 84 and 78 minutes respectively

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

      Williams didn't get booked did he?

          Common sense?

            I would prefer to get medical news from a doctor .

    2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years

      4-6 weeks

    3. Le _ Professeur
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A physio posted his view on the injury here last night saying that best case scenario, he's out for 2 weeks .. I'll take his word and sell tonight

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

    What does Mourinho need to do to get the sack?

    1. Captain Vantastic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Get in the third year of his contract

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

      Behave mate. I hope this isn't serious?

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

        Serious question yeah. What do you think he needs to do to get sacked?

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

          I think it's nuts that the culture now is to think "sack" so quickly into manager's tenures. I think he'd need to have an absolutely dire season and finish out of the top 4 before the club should even consider it in the summer. Pre Xmas to start mentioning it is beyond hasty in my opinion.

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

            I'm not saying he should be sacked by the way. Just wondering how bad things would need to get. I think managers should be given time. I reckon Man Utd would give Mourinho more leniency than most managers.

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

      Sleep with Moyes' daughter.

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

        Well I haven't been sacked.

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

          You have by Moyes' daughter.

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

    Looking at 56 points after baps.

    Firmino (C) with Kuns 12 was a fail.

    Could have been a massive week of 74.

    Always captain Kun.

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Except next week when you captain Kane

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

      How on earth would that give you 18 more points?

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

        Bad maths.

        65 points.

  14. Rh4ziel
    • 9 Years

    Team for next GW, transfers done, GTG?

    Foster
    Cedric - Evans - Pieters
    Sanchez - Hazard - Walcott - Siggy
    Aguero - Kane(C) - Austin
    Bench: Pickford, Fletcher, Holebas, Amat

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

      G2g, very nice

  15. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    A) Walker Coutinho Austin → Cedric Moses Kane (-8)
    B) Coutinho → 8.6

    I prefer A, but I guess some people would see it as madness. Would anyone back me up?

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

      A is madness. Just go Cout out to Eriksen/Alli/Walcott etc.

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

        Kane is so alluring though! :/

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

    Is Walcott decent replacement for Coutinho for Free Transfer? or any other mid under 8.9m. Not keen on Pedro and Spurs mid

    My rest front 7 player
    Hazard, Firmino, Sigurdsson, Fletcher
    Aguero, Kane, Austin

  17. Clifford☯
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Heaton Pickford
    Koscielny Alonso Fuchs Holebas Amat
    Hazard Firmino Coutinho Redmond Fletcher
    Aguero Costa Austin

    2 FTs, 0.2 ITB

    Thinking of doing Coutinho and Fuchs to Siggy and Cedric. Should I Pull the trigger tonight ?

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, lovely transfers. Nice team.

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

    Lukaku and Coutinho --> Costa and Siggy for free? 😀

    Already have Sanchez and Mane. Currently no Chelsea coverage.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years

      Yes

    2. Differentiator

  20. RoysCallerAnne

    1. Epic Fail

      Indeed!!!

  23. The real slim shady
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Which combo to go for?
    A) Kane + Pedro
    B) Sanchez + Austin/Origi
    C) Hazard + Defoe

    1. gawa11
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A

  24. gawa11
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    My transfer can go 1 of 2 ways this week

    Out - kun / cou / luk
    In - kane/ costa / firm

    Or

    Out - fuchs / cou / luk
    In - kane / firm / 4.0 def

    Both options are a minus 8, I am 1.6 mil ranked so prepared to take hits
    Other defs are vertongen, alonso, holebas, amat

    Thoughts?

  25. liiusions
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Can't decide between Theo or Ali/Eriksen. I've got Kane but no Sanchez, probably has to be Theo doesn't it? Just worried how nailed he is

    1. Trae44
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Walcott

  26. Donnie Brasco´s
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Just for the record, I have Grant, Cedric and Pieters on my bench.....
    Awfull feeling.
    I also have tvo nice gentlemans in my firs 11 ant that two trolls are Amat and Cholevas.
    Any better than me???
    Cherss

  27. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Ok, after my big -8 hit for next week, please help me bench one.

    Sanchez, Firmino, Pedro, Siggy, Phillips....

    Money is currently on Siggy or Pedro.

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

      Well you left yourself with a benching headache, presumably in favour of saving 0.1m...!

      Siggy obviously, would have just taken a 0.1m 'hit' and saved 4 points....

  28. Trae44
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Best mid for max 6.5? 🙂

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

    Kane or Costa?

  30. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Is doubling up on Mane + Firm still advisable with Cout & Lallana both out and so many other decent midfield shouts about?
