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.

        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Not too bad then. I only had Sanchez today so it was always gonna be iffy.

  2. Phil Dagger ⭐

    difficult decision

    should I get Sanchez plus Fer /Zaha

    or Siggy + Wally /eriksen/ Mane

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

      Walcott is good enough arsenal coverage imo

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

        No chance!

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

        Agree with Guti
        3.5 'mil diff is a lot if you don't captain him
        He is still patchy, explosively patchy.

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

      Siggy wally/mane

      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Kudos to you sir , if you kept Benteke for this week .
      What a differential he must be

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

        Thanks.

        Fixtures dont look great coming up and tempted to shift whilst on a high.

    2. Business Dog
      • 11 Years

      Why not both

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

    £0.6 in bank

    Who is the best replacement for Coutinho?

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

      Walcott?

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

      Walcott

    3. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years

      Ali

  5. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Sterling > ?

    A) Siggy

    B) Pedro (I have no Chelsea players)

    C) Other

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

      Tough one, probably B

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

      B due to the brackets

  6. mr messi
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Firmino and Allen to Siggy and Phillips/Zaha?

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

      wow I'm taking a hit to get Firmino in lol

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

      Yes, and Zaha

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

      Oh wait, oops. Thought Coutinho for some reason. 100% no!

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

      Don't lose Firmino

    5. MTPockets
        9 years, 4 months ago

        firm vs bou
        allen vs bur

        siggy vs tot
        phillips/zaha vs wat/sou

        No

    6. Top of the Klopps
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Couts/Sterling > Sanchez/Phillips? (Free)

      or

      Couts/Sterling/Lukaku > Walcott/Siggy/Kane? (-4)

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

      Do you think Kane will be rested GW16 against Hull at home? It's 3 days after the United game. Rotation before the Christmas period?

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

        No

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

        No idea. Probably not

      3. A.J.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Not a chance if fully fit imo.

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

        Might be a game changing question come Gw 16
        Since a lot including me are vying for the 3 home games in four appeal atleast short term .
        Had to think this through myself before getting Kane .
        With Jansen able enough , can't see why he can't be rested .

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

          Have to*

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

          Janssen is terrible. Striker who doesn't score from open play

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

          Just got Kane in. My thinking is that Spurs need to win every game if they want to compete - they're falling behind. Kane might get 60 minutes against Hull but that's good enough for me.

          Also, Aguero plays Chelsea next so Kane(c) next week against a Swansea side that concedes a ton looks tempting

    8. Jake Donahue
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A. Costa and siggy
      Or
      B. Austin and eriksen

      1. 8ball
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        A

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

        I have hazard and in option b will bring siggy in for Allen the following gw

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

        A

    9. 8ball
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      should i get in pedro or walcott for coutinho?

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

      Think it's going to be Coutinho for Walcott for me.

      How about you?

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

        I personally think Alli is primed for points

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

          On what grounds ?
          Let me in on this

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

          Could be, but get him after a haul. Think he's playing too deep or not looking too involved just yet after his knee injury.

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

            Makes no sense. If you get players after they haul, you don't get those points

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

        I like that move. Instead of Siggy?

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

          Already have Sigurdsson so slightly more difficult choice

      3. Bolivian Seaman
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        firmino, I have kdb and bony to get rid of. And stones and fuchs. I don't know where to start

      4. SuperMario
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Siggy (have Sanchez)

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

        Considering Pedro. Willian didn't make a great case for taking his spot when he came on yesterday

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

        Between Theo, Pedro or one of the spurs boys

      7. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Considering Ali Eriksen and Pedro.

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

        Ditched for siggy

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

        Walcott, Alli, Eriksen or Pedro.

      10. MTPockets
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Firmino

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

        45 is a red arrow right??

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

          yep

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

          47's the average so yeah

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

          Depends where you are ranked.

      12. SuperMario
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        So is everyone going Cout & Lukaku out tonight??

        Kane a cert.. unsure on the Cout replacement.. kinda has to be Siggy doesn't it?

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

          Definitely get Siggy

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

          If you don't own him already, Siggy is your man.

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

            Yeah that's the plan, just seeking reassurance lol..

            Thanks lads, gonna do it this eve

      13. Uncle Gamst
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Any chance that Jenkinson will be back in the side with Debuchy and Bellerin out injured?

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

          Sure

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

          Of course.

          1. Uncle Gamst
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Thanks reading the reports I thought he was on his way out of the club.

            Not sure whether you have any other right backs at the Emirates?

            Is he that bad, I brought him in this week for Stones...loosing my touch!

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

              No problem. I didn't expect Debuchy to start either. Gabriel can play as a RB but I think Wenger will stick with Jenko until Bellerin is fit again.

              1. Uncle Gamst
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                Thanks for the info.

                FPL has Debuchy down as 'a knock' but I believe it's a hammy.

                Even though I have Jenkinson I hope that Debuchy recovers soon

        Really not looking forward to benching Allen (BUR) this week. Especially as he looks likely to be returning to the no.10 position.

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

        Best Cout replacement?
        A. Pedro
        B. Theo
        C. Eriksen
        D. Alli

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

          Eriksen.

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

            Leaning that way but he's just so inconsistent

        2. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          A or B

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

          A if you have Sanchez, B if you have Hazard

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

            What if I have Sanchez and Costa? 😛

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

          I wish I knew 🙁

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

            This is so hard. I fancy Theo to do well but West ham could be tough. Everton City away also not easy. Spurs have some plum home games in that time. Problem is choosing between Eriksen and Alli 🙁

      21. BrockLanders
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Got Siggy in 3 weeks ago and have that same feeling about Alli now..

        1. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years

            1. BrockLanders
              • 11 Years

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

        Cout & Lukaku > Kane (c) & Pedro?

        Is Pedro safe enough to be a real option?

        What the most urgent? Thanks for any advice.

        1. Coutinho to Siggy
        2. Deeney to Austin
        3. Fuchs to Alonso

          1 if you are losing price
          Austin has long term fixtures but isn't usually explosive .
          1 and 2 for a hit if Deeney has a bad fixture and Austin a good one next week .

          A) Cout to firm/ mane
          B) Kun to kane -4
          should i do both. Firm or mane who is better

          Double change for me. Lukaku out for Kane and Coutinho out for 7.6m or less. Torn between Pedro and Siggy. Siggy more involved and on pens but Chelsea look great with some very tasty fixtures coming up. Any suggestions?

          Coutinho and Lukaku to Eriksen and Kane for -4?

          Or just Coutinho to Eriksen?

            Thinking similarly but Pedro instead of Eriksen (got no Chelsea)

          Lukaku + Coutinho -->

          A. Ibrahimovic + Son
          B. Kane + Sigurdsson

          Thanks in Advance!

          mourinho has two fewer points than david moyes had after 13 matches. no wonder he's ducking the press conference.

          Bobby wishing Cout well on twitter. Guess he's fit to swype.
