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.

    I just did Coutinho to Sigurdsson, forgot they have Spurs next. I'm such a fool.

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

      Siggy is fixture proof

      1. The Wise Owl
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I'm not too sure... Though you've made me feel slightly better haha

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

        So is Coutinho now.

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Great sub

    3. Kuqi Monster
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Old club, point to prove.

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

    Worth doing Coleman & Lukaku -> Cedric & Kane for -4?

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

      do it

    2. KISSES
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Not rating the Spurs attack.

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

        other option is Costa for Kane

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah, Lukaku has hit his BAD patch

    4. MOZIL
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      i just did the exact same move

  3. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Lukaku+Coutinho > Kane+Pedro for free?

    Also have Heaton 🙁 but need to ship these two before the drops! Jaku is my no.2 🙁

    1. Typo
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Considering the same thing! do u have Hazard?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        No! Otherwise it's hazard and a 8.6m striker which there are zero good ones!

      2. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Do you?

        1. Typo
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yea, i have him. So im leaning towards Siggy

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            That sounds wise! Would you do Pedro without hazard then? Cheers

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

      Yes.

  4. KISSES
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    2FTs, 0.3ITB, willing to take a -8 to get this team back on track. Please help.

    Pickford Heaton
    Koscielny Vertongan Holebas Amat Kingsley
    Coutinho Firmino Theo KDB Fletcher
    Lukaku Austin Aguero

    Im thinking Kosc, Coutinho and Lukaku out for Alonso, Pedro and Costa (-4).

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

      Wouldn't lose Kosc for -4. Just do the latter two.

      1. KISSES
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Pedro or Siggy for Coutinho Badger?

  5. MY DJ NAME IS PIMP CURRY
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Wow, Cedric is always among the baps when Southampton keep a clean sheet. At 4.9 he's a steal. Straight swap for Stones.

    Better buy than VVD @ 5.5, yeah?

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

      considering soton fixtrues for sure

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

      Is he really 4.9?

      1. MY DJ NAME IS PIMP CURRY
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yes. You're welcome

    3. KISSES
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah looking like it

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

      Best value defender probably

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

      best player on pitch today too

    6. moz_1983
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Precisely what I did on Friday night. I just need to get rid of Shaw now and my defence is back on track.

  6. Thomass
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone got the link for Spurs FPL mini league?

  7. Typo
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Cout + Kaku -> Kane + 7.7
    Tips for the 7.7 ? Siggy, pedro? (have Hazard)

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

      Siggy

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

      Mata?

      1. Typo
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        was seriously considering that. But United cant score goals in PL atm

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

    Can or Fer? 😛

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

      neither

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

    Is liverpool cover super necessary?

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

      Not anymore

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

        I hope so

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

      No if Coutinho and Lallana are missing

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

      Double coverage certainly isn't

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

        Single coverage would be Milner then 😛

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

      No cover is

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

      Going with both Ibra and Aguero, so left with 6.9 only.
      Can go with Milner which i'm considering but need to act fast ...

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

      think i'll risk going without for a little while, risky though

  10. MY DJ NAME IS PIMP CURRY
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Stones + Lukaku -> Cedric + Kane for a -4?

    If I do it now I'll save on 0.2m. These players will be rested midweek anyway, so doesn't matter right?

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

    Coutinho/Lukaku > Siggy/Kane

    Makes sense, right?

    1. Kuqi Monster
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

    2. Assisting the assister
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Well I'm thinking of Couts to Siggy and did Luks to Kane last week if it helps. Guess Pedro is only other option to Siggy - maybe Walcott if you don't have him.

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

      Yes.

  12. La vida FPL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Benteke > Austin
    Lukaku > Kane

    For free..... good moves??

    1. MY DJ NAME IS PIMP CURRY
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm worried about Kane because he might be rested for GW16, that is against Hull at home

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

        Why is that?

        1. MY DJ NAME IS PIMP CURRY
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          It's 3 days after the game against United. He's played too much since his return - He won't be risked IMO

      2. La vida FPL
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Why would they rest kane??

  13. Jimjam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Siggy or Pedro?

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

      Siggy

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

      Siggy

    3. La vida FPL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Siggy

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

      Siggy

    5. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Depends, both are doing well. If you have Hazard I'd go Siggy.

    6. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      What's the rationale here? Pedro not being 100% nailed?

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

      Pedro if you have no Blues attack, otherwise Siggy.

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

    Some big hits happening this week! I like it - I like it a lot.

  15. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Well, you can't fault Redmond for consistency - the amount of times he's got me 3 points is unbelievable!

    1. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah Redmond was really annoying me. Somehow managed to miss all his attacking points this season despite having owned him twice. I got rid for Siggy before deadline thankfully

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

    Any news on the Heaton injury?

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

    Costa got his first 4 yellows in the first 6 matches of the season. He has since then gone 7 games in a row without one...

    1. KISSES
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Costa me so many point by him being on the edge of that tightrope. Im getting him in tonight.

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

    What is this then?

    Sanchez 6
    Kun -2
    Kun 2
    Deeney 4
    Kun 12
    Lukaku 4
    Coutinho 2

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Your captain points.

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

        Correct!

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

          Got lucky 3 weeks ago?

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

      Last 7 captains

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

        Yes. Aren't I great?

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

          Captain Deeney says it all.

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

            Haha. Guilty as charged. He got the assist that week, which was then removed.

            Meanwhile Agüero was tearing it up.

    3. MY DJ NAME IS PIMP CURRY
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Your captain history? I've seen worse

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

        Really? This amounts to 4 points per week, i.e. 2 doubled.

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

    Couthino + A.Smith -> Pedro + Alonso?

  20. Miro
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Selling Cout + Kaku like most.

    Is Kane + Eriksen too much Spurs? Next 4 fixtures look spicy...

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

      Only 4 spurs is too much spurs.

  21. Typo
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    worth taking out Gundogan for a hit?

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

      He might play against Chelsea

    2. KISSES
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah, was always going to be a rotation threat

    3. MTPockets
        9 years, 4 months ago

        depends on 5th mid

    4. KISSES
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Whats up with Heaton, short term injury?

    5. Delhidynamo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Cout+Brunt+Kosc --->

      A) Mane+Nyom+Alonso

      B) Firmino+Evans+Alonso

      Both moves allow me to do Arnie to Siggy next week

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

      Hazard Mane Siggy xxx Capoue
      Aguero xxx Austin

      A. Walcott and Kane
      B. Sanchez and max 7.2m fwd

      Gotta be A right? Have exact funds.

    7. southernpacific
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Is -12 too big of a hit of it means getting Sanchez and Kane?

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

        Depends on the individual tranfers

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

        Depends on the transfers and future points.

        1. southernpacific
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Lukaku> Kane

          Coutinho > fer

          Wally > Sanchez

          Mustafi> 4.5

    8. Dougie Jones
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Need a mid around the 7m mark in order to bring Kane in. Is anyone considering Son?

      He's the most likely from the Spurs mid to get something and them fixtures are taste but he fails the eye test of late, and fails it badly.

      1. KISSES
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Pedro

        1. Dougie Jones
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Already on Hazard and want to get Alonso and Costa in shortly so will steer clear of Pedro for good or for bad

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

        been brutal for a while, i'd steer clear.

        1. Dougie Jones
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yea he looks like his confidence is shot at the moment unfortunatly . It's tough shopping at the moment as the guys I think shud do well over Christmas don't have the kindest short term - guys like Mata and Antonio.

          Would love a few extra days to ponder over it and potentially find out of Lallana will be back next week but can't afford the price drops

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

      RP from earlier on this morning who would you rather have for the next 6 GW's?

      Harry Kane - SWA (H), MAN U (A), HUL (H), BUR (H), SOU (A) & WAT (A)

      Eden Hazard - MCI (A), WBA (H), SUN (A), CRY (A), BOU (H) & STK (H)

      1. KISSES
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Chelsea have the form and those fixtures aint too shabby

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

        Haz

    10. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Eriksen is hardly involved in the Spurs goals so far this season, Walcott a better option?

    11. Ghost86
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Somebody help

      I bought coutinho at 8.4 he is 8.8 now I need to sell today to get the profit right or have I got time?

      1. Sharpe Shuffle
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        You will lose 0.1 when he drops

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

        Today if you want 8.6

    12. Teddy Brewski
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      7.2 to spend on a midfielder - opinions on the best option for the next 3 or 4 weeks? Currently looking at Son with their great fixtures coming up

      1. Dougie Jones
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Was just mentioning this above. He looks like a shadow of his early season self but his fixtures and price or tempting, especially considering no other midfielders stand out to me at the moment (who I can afford).

        Is he guarenteed to start though? I remember he came on in the last few minutes against West Ham, why was he not starting that one?

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

        Same here.. considering Son, Siggy, Walcott, Pedro as Cout replacements.

        Depends on your team, as always. Having already Haz & Sanchez, it's between Son and Siggy for me.
        - Son : more explosive potential returns IMO, riskier gametime wise though.
        - Siggy : safe gametime, penalty spot duty, less explosive.
