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.

    When will we hear if Coutinho is definitely out? Scan results due soon or is he as good as out?

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      probably tomorrow

      fear is he has done his ankle ligament damage

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

      Tomorrow. Suspected ligament damage - 4-6 weeks

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

      He's definitely out. He was on crutches in Melwood today.
      Scan is tomorrow. I say ditch today before the price drop.

  2. sminkypinky

    9 years, 4 months ago

    Right. Hows this?

    Kaku, Cout, Williams -> Kane, Sig, Cedric

    Good fixture list for a long time and assured gametime plus two pen takers.

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

      Beautiful. Do IT!

        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        😆

    3. Hanked
      • 13 Years

      Perfect, do it.

    4. Backup Dancer
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I might do the exact same!

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

      Cheers all. Exact money, so will have to do it tonight.

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

      Poetry in motion after Cedric s audition today .
      Pull it !

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

        Same here. But can't afford to wait for rises/drops with my funds.

  3. My Name Is Prince
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Need to ship Lukaku tonight.... 0.1m short of Kane, so:

    A) Costa
    B) Kane -4

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

      B for me. Costa will get that yellow!

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A

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

      A

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

      A. 85% hit rate is all you need to know

  4. 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. JPSpurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Can see Siggy scoring against his old team...

    2. My Name Is Prince
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'd bench Phillips...

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

      Phillips

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

      I'd bench Phillips.

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

      I've asked for the advice, I shall take it. Phillips it is.

    3 - Austin (37)

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years

        Well done.

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

        You'll be a higher rank than me

        I remember a few month ago I was at 100k and you were in the millions

        GG

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      So, 9 for me then.
      I AM A GOD!!!

  6. JPSpurs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Getting rid of Lukaku + Coleman to Kane + £5m - best defender option?

    Currently have Walker, McAuley, Holebas and Amat.

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

      Cedric is the next bandwagon here on ffs , without a doubt .
      Nobody even talking about Lovren after today .
      Pool might just surprise though , they always had the underlying stats for clean sheets, in a way it was due. Only reason I had Lovren past few weeks, expect him to continue though , Klopp is tightening the back .

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

    Bottomed:

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

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

      I wouldn't say so. Siggy also a very viable option to enable Hazard and Sanchez possibly.

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

        Got both of those too already.. !

        But yeh, looking at Siggy or Eriksen/Alli for those Spurs fixtures

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

      I'm just sticking with Firm - but since you have both I'd stick for a bit. Lallana should be back next GW.

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

    thoughts on a Kane punt against Swans this GW, and then bring Costa in after for those plum fixtures?

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

      Quite a few are doing it
      I'd say you have company at the least.

  9. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Ibra back to 3 baps.

  10. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Through to the next stage of the cup (I think) - without Aguero 😎

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      And he is not essential come next GW. Good times.

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

        Good luck with that one

  11. dhamphiir

    9 years, 4 months ago

    Debuchy injury looks to be a "severe one." Giroud [hamstring] is also a concern "we have to see what the damage is," said Wenger.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Giroud fail

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

      🙁

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

      November is really not our month.

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

      Very sad for Debuchy, injured in the first 15 mins after injury return and a long time on the bench / reserves

  12. sergioaguero67
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    For the tempting Swansea fixture, which Spurs man should I have?

    A. Kane for -8 (Much better chances of scoring + penalties)
    B. Eriksen on FT
    C. Alli on FT

    1. My Name Is Prince
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B or C, Kane is the best but definitely not for -8...

  13. borat
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    How to bring in kane
    aguero to kane
    costa to kane

  14. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Would a score of 49 knock me out of LMS ?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      lol

      1. Arctic monkeys
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I was seriously asking.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          It's too early but you won't have an issue.

          1. Arctic monkeys
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Cheers

        2. My Name Is Prince
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          And he answered....

          1. Arctic monkeys
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            What's it to you ?

  15. flyfishing
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    My luck!

    Brought Coutinho in this GW, of course I can't afford to keep he benched for weeks.

    Witch premium midfielder has the best four GWpotential?

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

    Through to the next stage of the cup!

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

      I think I'm through on rank.

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

        We're still on to meet in the final 😛

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

          Never any doubt 😎

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

    Worth waiting Coutinho news? Or should i just pull the trigger?

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

      Only worth it if the news is good.

    2. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Get him out asap.

  18. zøphar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Coutinho replacement -
    A. Mane
    B. walcott

    Already got Firmino and no Sanchez.

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B then

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

      Marginally prefer Mane. Less of a rotation concern with Ramsey about

  19. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Just saw that Cedric got baps. Wanted to get him in for Mustafi this week. Ah well, I'll just wait til EFL plays

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

    Guys, have exact cash for this. Should I act early?

    Lukaku + Fuchs to Kane + Nyom

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      If those are the players you want then absolutely yes. Why wait?

      West Brom's fixtures do toughen up though after the SWA match

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

        Midweek games. Have Wally, Austin, Firmino and Mane to potentially play midweek in the EFL cup though I think none will.

        Also, Kane is the only one I want. And I only have 4.3m to spend on a defender if I remove Fuchs.

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

          Just wait I think. Only a couple of transfer sessions to navigate and should slow down into midweek

  21. Who Ate All Depays?
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Guys, what changes would you suggest with 1ft & 1.3m itb?

    Grant
    Walker / Mcauley / Coleman
    Sanchez / Walcott / Firmino / Siggy
    Aguero / Lukaku / Austin
    (Pickford / Holebas / Fletcher / Amat)

    1. Rh4ziel
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Lukaku > Kane if you have the money, if not - Costa.

      1. Who Ate All Depays?
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        0.1m short of Kane move...how about Coleman & Kaku -> Cedric & Kane for -4?

    2. VFORVANDETA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      lukaku to kane

  22. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Two questions after today's games:

    1) how can Watford ve 8th in the table?

    2) ditto Everton 7th?

    The mind boggles.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Good starts to the season.

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah but... come on!

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

      How can Burnley be 13th?

  23. Winks Club
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Fuchs --> Cedric for -4?

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

      Why not. Fuchs is useless.

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

      No better words to say it.
      Why not?
      Fuchs rage transfer will be worth it .

  24. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    is it possible to search for a fantasy premier league team by their own name or their FPL team name?

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

      Google

      site:fantasy.premierleague.com name

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

    Is Sanchez AND Walcott too much?

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

      Too much points?

    2. BB-8
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Of course not. I have Sanchez and I'm looking to add Theo in. Fixtures and good goalscoring form this season

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      It is if they both fail.

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

      They weren't today. I will still hold.

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

    Current team;

    Heaton / Pickford
    Vertonghan / Williams / Holebas / Kelly / Amat
    Sanchez / Firmino / Pedro / Siggy / Phillips
    Aguero / Kane / Austin

    Plan is to do Phillips and Williams to De Roon and Alonso... currently 0.1 out, but Phillips is due to rise which will mean I can do it!

    Or would I be better getting Cedric and maybe improving a GK later down the line?

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

    Pedro or Sig?

  28. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Firminio's ownership will go through the roof, if Cout. is confirmed out.

  29. Sushant
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Out of the FFS cup by 1 point..if only i hadn't capped Coutinho!

  30. The Chump
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Reposting this hoping to get some responses.

    Heaton/Foster
    Pieters/Cedric/McAuley/Mustafi/Amat Coutinho/Firmino/Hazard/Redmond/Allen
    Aguero/Lukaku/Defoe
    2 FTs 1.2 ITB

    Bought Coutinho at 8.4 so don't want to lose .1 in selling value when he drops.
    Should I do Lukaku,Coutinho --> Kane,Siggy? Open to any other suggestions, thanks guys.

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

      Both great transfers

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

      Yes
      Quite a popular double transfer this week
      You ll have a lot of company.
