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.

    Ol so I've been hit with triple injury this GW have 2 FT's & 0.4 ITB, here's my sqaud right now for GW 14:

    Grant
    Fuchs McAuley Williams
    De Roon Mane Sanchez Stanislas
    Austin (VC) Aguero (C) Costa

    Subs:Pickford,Coutinho,Holebas & Love

    Which is the best choice for the next 6 GW's?

    A) Austin & Coutinho > Kane & Sims

    B) Coutinho & Stanislas > Hazard & Hojberg

    C) Coutinho & Fuchs > Hazard & Amat

    Any feedback is appreciated lads.

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

      C

    2. Please Help I Don't Kn…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      C, would say A but Austin is doing okay and has good fixtures.

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

      C or b
      Austin has good fixtures , would hold him so wouldn't do A.
      C is you've had it with Fuchs .
      I reckon Stanislas can still come good though. His underlying points per match is only second to hazard , Nobody probably knows that .

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

        *for Mids , not including strikers.

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

        I'm tempted with B just because what if the knocks sustained in both of thier matches (Holebas & Stanislas) become serious then I I only have Amat,Mc Auley & Amat to play then as Love wouldn't get a game.

  2. Please Help I Don't Kn…

      Cedric

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

    Why are so many rushing to get Siggy when he has Spurs away next week? Just chasing points and avoiding price rises?

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

      Price rises, central to anything they do

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

        Unless it's impossible to afford him if you don't catch the rise this week, I don't see how it's worth it

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

      Easy transfer from Coutinho.

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

        How does 'easy' matter in this game?

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

          If they want Siggy going forward, why would they bring someone else in for one week, then siggy after that?

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

            I'm sure they'll have someone else to sell to get Siggy in the following week. Not the one they bring in now.

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

      Because Coutinho is injured

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

        So get someone else. Why Siggy

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

          Against his old team, in form and great fixtures after next week. What's not to like?

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

            Isn't this whole playing against an old team thing a myth?

        2. william prunier

          Sheep

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

      Spurs are hardly looking convincing in defence, If Swansea score, Siggy will be central to the goal. Stop being silly.

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

        Lol. They will probably keep a clean sheet. It's still Swansea.

      2. *sigh*

        Toby back next week

      9 years, 4 months ago

      havent been on this site much this weekend. just looking at my next move.

      do we think coutinho is gonna be out for a while or do you think its going to be better to see over the next few days to get confirmation before I rush to avoid a 0.1 price reduction.

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

        i think there'll be a few double swings, lots of viable mids gobbling up his transfers

      2. Please Help I Don't Kn…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Might have torn a ligament, could be 4-6 weeks.

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

        He has suspected ligament damage. I think he might be out for a while.

      4. MTPockets
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Nobody knows but I'm not affected by 0.1m drop so waiting on midweek game/firmino news.

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

        Heaton Pickford
        Holebas Alonso Amat Kelly Evans
        Sanchez Firmino Alen Hazard DeRoon
        Lukaku Aguero Benteke
        2 FT , 0 itb

        Do Lukaku --> Austin before the price changes and wait on the rest?

        1. PDM TOP 1,000 any Season rc…
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Probably a safe option

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

          How about Lukaku to Austin and get Cedric in as your 2nd def?

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

          What about Benteke to Austin and Lukaku to Kane?

          I haven't done the maths so may not work.

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

          Id get rid of Benteke for Austin instead

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

        Do you think Holebas, Firmino and Heaton should be fit to play next game?

        1. le flem
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          yep

      7. RustyBz
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Fellas. Cout + Lukaku -> Siggy + Kane?

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

          Looks solid.

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years

          Will be a popular choice this week. Can't see anything wrong with it

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

            Over Pedro?

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

        A) Nyom+ Mane

        B) Cedric+Eriksen

        C) Evans+Firmino

        Pick one to replace Brunt and Cout

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

          Does Brunt need replacing?

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

            to get either Mane/Firm he does , not otherwise

            all these moves help fund Arnie to Siggy next week too

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

          B? It's a shame you cant have cedric + pool

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

            Plan was Brunt to Cedric]

            Cout injury has raised the poopstorm

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

        -177.8%
        -18.20% per hour

        Who am I?

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

          I don't care because I'm in pain standing on the crutches .

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

          Aguero?

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

        milner has exactly same number of points as siggy. think he's being overlooked a little for those getting rid of coutinho, especially if you don't have firmino already

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

          and he's 0.7m cheaper

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

          Agree
          The penalty hot topic article every week again predicted , Lpool and Leicester had the 2 most penalty giving referees of the week.
          I think we need to give more inmortance to it .

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

          Milner has been overperforming IMO with the pens, don't think it'll last. Siggy has better fixtures and is great for catching the price rise

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

            perhaps he has, but liverpool's style is likely to bring more penos imo. that and liverpool score a lot more goals than swansea. i do think siggy's a good option, just wouldn't exclude milner from consideration

        4. makaveli123
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          No

      11. 1justlookin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        If Costa didnt have 4 yellows would you rather have him over Kane?

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

          Not this week, no.

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

            this week yeah but if it was over the next 6 games. Chelsea's fixtures look a bit better & if you have a decent sub to cover his 1 match ban it could be worth getting him in, instead.

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

          I certainly would.

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

          Long term yes.
          Next weekend no.

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

          I sold Costa for Kane last week. Reasons being Kane is on penalties and I already have Hazard who is on penalties. I know some people disregard having cover from different teams but for me it means I have better weekly captain options i.e. I now have an extra captain choice following fixtures.

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

        Cout, Mustafi/Fuchs, Lukaku > Siggy, Cedric & Kane (-4)?

        Only have to rush the Cout> Siggy move because of funds, will do the other two throughout the week

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

        Heaton, Pickford
        Walker, Hoelbas, Pieters, Amat, Evans
        Hazard, Sanchez, Firmino, Allen, Capoue
        Aguero, Lukaku, Austin

        2FT, 0.9ITB.

        What should I prioritise this week? Would like Lukaku -> Costa but the suspension tightrope isn't brilliant and I'd need to shed £0.2m somewhere. Any advice?

      14. thevikings
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Pedro og Siggy for Count???

        Thats the big question...

        1. le flem
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          sig imo

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

          With a name like yours, surely Siggy

      15. 1justlookin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Siggy or Pedro, that's my dilemma.

        Pedro - mci WBA sun cpl BOU STK
        Siggy - tot SUN wba mid WHM BOU

      17. le flem
        • 12 Years

        so cout to siggy, luk to kane (c) look good (2ft)?

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

          I wouldn't want Siggy this week.

          1. le flem
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            yeah but i need the funds and in the long term he seems right

      18. Sukeerth
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Coutinho + Lukaku ->

        A. Sigurdson + Kane
        B. Son + Ibrahimovic.

        Thanks in Advance!

        Wrong to consider shipping Aguero for Kane? Hard schedule coming up, team isnt scoring freely and Aguero is a constant injury/resting worry

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

        worth doubling with spurs players? Thinking Alli an Kane? or Siggy and Kane?

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

        Mane or Walcott?
        Got firmino, didnt think walcott looked that impressive today despite the goal

      22. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Lukaku (aka the donkey) is dropping fast.

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

          Costa coming in for me, I dont care about that 4YC anymore.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years

            Same here. Should never have swapped him for Hazard.

          Grant bonus was a nice surprise.

          What a bargain!

        Just did the comparison tool for Pedro v Siggy, surprised by the result, Siggy is such a better option.

          Pedro stats are underwhelming. Prefer Eriksen/ Siggy/Theo over him

            You say that but ive watched the games involving those players this weekend and Pedro is the best option in my opinion.
