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.

    How soon does OR update these days? It previously used to take hours but since the deadline update takes about 10 minutes or so now instead of the 30 minutes before, I am guessing the OR-update also has speeded up?

    1. Ziro
      • 11 Years

      didn't even try 😎

      It takes bloody ages mate. Hold tight

        Might go to sleep then. Was hoping it updates in about 30 minutes so I could update the Fantasy Chili Bowl scoresheets before going to bed. Will just have to do it in the morning then.

    If I bought Coutinho @8.3, he is now 8.8 and he is 8.5 on my team now will he go down tonight on my team?

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

      no

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

      Nope.

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

      he will go down in your team and everyone else's but your SV will be same.

      In other words, it does not affect you.

    4. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      no. if he drops to 8.7, your selling price will still be 8.5... your selling price is half of the profit rounded down.

      1. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        To the nearest 0.1m

    5. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No - whether 8.8 or 8.7 you'll get your 8.5. If he drops to 8.6 you drop down to 8.4.

      The rule is that you get half of the difference between purchased price and current price - but rounded down.

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

      8.3 - 8.7 = .4

      2 / .4 = .2

      So, no.

    Why dont Mourinho play this frontline week in week out.to get better results

    Ibra
    Martial Mata Mihkhitaryan
    Pogba Herrera

    Surely the 3 behind ibra will create more chances for him to score. And chip in with goals themselves too

    Rooney is too old . Lingard and Rashford are not ready yet

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

      It confuses me why they didn't appoint you instead of Mourinho.

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years

        yeah id fare better:D j

        on the serious note just stating my opinion as a united fan 😉

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

      Martial is not a confirmed starter, had horrible form to start the season, has to earn his spot.
      Mkhi s absence no fan can answer, it's something which only Mou says is due to fitness and adapting to the EPL which Mkhi needs to do, acc to him.
      Pogba Herrera also doesn't work in the double pivot always.
      It's not that easy to just line that up and expect goals but ideally Mourinho might want to move into this starting line up, week in week out once they have the chemistry to pull that off.

  5. RamaJama

    Worth a -4 to get out Gundogan or Williams?

        Anout D, saw someone else here do something very similar . Quite a few minority might pull a -8 this week silently under the screens, so I don't think you ll be alone if you do pull it off.
        Personally I beleive in hits and do -8 s if necessary .

      Bottomed!

      Can Milner be a Liverpool option?

      1. the Penman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        If you want to rely only on penalties, sure. They've got more goals in them further forward - well, depending on how they adjust without Cout.

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

          With Lallana and cout both out, Klopp may probably bring Moreno back and shift Milner further forward.
          Still my wishful thinking only though

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

        Yes

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

        I think so but you'll be heavily reliant on pens

      4. Winks Club
        • 10 Years

        No, not Liverpool

      5. southernpacific
        • 15 Years

        Replied on last page. Agree Milner or Redmond for me

    6. Typo

      any chance for Gundogan playing next week?

      2. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years

        High chance.

      Does anyone happen to know when Coutinho went from 8.3 to 8.4? Can't remember whether I bought him before or after that price rise.

          this is the correct answer.

        What is your SV?

    9. Smarty Pants
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Everton have looked so dire since the Chelsea game, it's like something broke. Not sure what to do with Lukaku, he is normally fixture proof so those tough fixtures don't really scare me (especially since most of them are at home), but Everton are really struggling at the moment... Is Austin in for a 4 point hit worth it or not?

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

        They've been poor for longer than that honestly. Lukaku just covered the cracks.

        But I wouldn't get him out for a hit.

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

        Since they got beat in the EFL by Norwich they've looked very dodgy.

      3. the axolotl
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        not for a hit imo, but everton have looked dreadful, since i bought lukaku. i'm selling for kane, which will probably mean he lukaku starts scoring again immediately

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

      I'm pretty good with choosing captains.

      Can anyone beat this?

      This week obviously Coutinho (2 points in total)
      Last week: Lukaku (4)
      GW 11: Kun (12)

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

      Is Philips rising in price tonight?

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Quite likely

    12. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I did it. Rage-transferred Lukaku to Defoe. Not one bit sorry.

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I did Kaku > Austin

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

      Sanchez or Kane ( will be 3rd striker along with Kun and Costa) currently have Austin

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I wouldn't be getting rid of Austin has good fixtures coming and form on his side plays a Poor Crystal Palace next who are vulnerable of set pieces keep him look elsewhere with your FT in my opinion.

        1. Phil Dagger ⭐
          • 9 Years

          cheers Sanchez 😉 it is then

    15. LouieM97
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Fuchs, Coutinho, Gundogan and Bony -> McAuley, Siggy, Walcott and Austin for -8?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Cheers, same only took -12 all season last year and ended up top 3K but feel its necessary given my situation

      3. Arteta
        • 10 Years

            Whom are you benching next week? I'll have 6 of the 8. Mane and Capoue for Sanchez and Allen.

            Do Jaku to Pickford instead of Heaton to Pickford to cover the playing keeper case.

          Aguero, Lukaku, Deeney

          2 FT, 1.7m in the bank

          Cout, Lukaku, Deeney out for:
          A: Siggy, Kane, Austin
          B: Walcott, Kane, Austin (Siggy for Redmond next week)
          C: Sanchez, Negredo, Austin

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

            You need Sanchez, so I will vote C. I think he is more 'essential' than Kane.

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

              Also, Austin is a good choice with the upcoming fixtures.Don't like Negredo though. 🙁

          2. Kuqi Monster

            • 11 Years

            If you do A), whom are you getting for Redmond next week? B seems strong.

            1. Beavis
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years

              Probably Pedro.

          Which pair to get more points (need to draft Kane) ?
          Front 8
          Sanchez Haz Theo XXX Carrick
          Aguero Kane XXX

          A) Siggy + Austin

          To everyone worrying about price drops, I've endured about .6 price drops on various players and each of them have gone back up after good scores in later weeks or even immediately after. Don't let price dictate your moves.

            • 10 Years

            Exactly right. Those who sold Sanchez over the last two are probably the same as those who will get him back in now having missing today's haul.

            Next week's points is what's important, not last week's points or a price change

            I certainly hope so! I plan on keeping him for next two then see how it goes. Chadli should be fully fit by then to bring in if needed

          Is Nyom first choice?

          Thinking about Coutinho + Fuchs -> Sanchez + Nyom(-4)?

          I'm pretty good at choosing captains.

          This week obviously Coutinho (2 points in total)
          Last week: Lukaku (4)
          GW 11: Kun (12)

            Jesus why is my post being cut into half???

              GW 9: Kun (2)
              GW 8: Kun (-2)
              GW 7: Sanchez (6)

              Over 7 weeks that amounts to 28 points meaning the captain has averaged a haul of 2 points every week, which has been nicely doubled into 4 points.

              Takes some doing. Anyone able to beat that?

                Forget it 😆 can't even get the posts right, let alone captain picks.

          Alright. Whoever's got the voodoo dolls of the United squad, hand them over. You've had wayy too much fun. Especially throwing the Jose doll around
