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.

    My squad following a -4 tonight:

    Heaton - Grant
    Holebas - Smith - Alonso - McAuley - Amat
    Hazard - Walcott - Sigurdsson - Firmino - De Roon
    Aguero - Kane - Austin

    Thoughts. Thinking will change Smith to Cedric for GW15.

            I couldn't bring transfer him in even after that Everton mauling. Now I'm kinda getting used to torture on a weekly basis with no Chelsea coverage. He doesn't scare me anymore.

      Guys please help! 😉

      I bought Coutinho 8.1£. So 0.1 price dropping not yet damage me.. So I can wait until tomorrow and scan. After all, can it be possible that the price will fall in one night at 0.2£?!

      And second point. I have planned, that I change Couti to Sigurdsson. Siggy´s price would rise last night, so what do you think it rises even further tonight. I think that does not rise?

      So in my situation, it is probably still safe to wait overnight?

      • 9 Years

      Lukaku > Kane a decent move for -4 or hold for another week? Would probably captain Kane if I got him in

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Done it already. Coutinho to Sigurdsson and Lukaku to Kane.

      2. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years

        Lukaku will blank, Kane good chance of a haul.

        Which is better......

        Making early transfers in order to save 0.2m
        OR
        losing 0.2m but making decisions on friday night with full knowledge of each players availability?

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Early transfer IMO.

        2. FPL Wisdom
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          honestly if an injury looks that bad trigger now regret later

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

            On paper I have a very easy decision to make in Coutinho > Siggy but A) I wanted to bring Siggy in next week and B) I plan to make multiple transfers this week to improve my overall squad and doing it early limits my options and doesn't allow me to think of the whole picture! I hate these early price changes.

          Risky week with midweek games. Saving 0.2 here

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

          Depends ofc but A. Risk it for the chocolate biscuit

        5. Stokelona
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Go early keep the money

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

          Thanks for the feedback chaps. Think I'm pulling the trigger on Coutinho > Siggy early. I'll think about the rest later in the week.

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

          Ideally the latter if you can afford it. Every time.

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

        Fuchs to van Dijk done. Anyone else prefer him over the Cedric? I think his proven fitness levels and eventual goal or two (maybe even this week against Palace) are worth the extra 0.6m

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

          No Cedric has 8 baps in last 3-4 CS he involved in

          Too early. Low 30s maybe or lower.

          1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
            • 9 Years

        costa to kane -4 is it worth for following gws

        1. FPL Wisdom
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          could regret it

        2. Captain Vantastic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          Lmao

        3. MTPockets
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I don't think so

          • diesel001
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            No. Get Kane and Costa

          • fedolefan
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            None of those are worth a hit and you're going to have to compromise on living with 2 out of Costa Kane Aguero. You will miss a haul.

        4. Captain Vantastic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Gaston Ramirez(HUL), Zaha(SOT) or Phillips(WAT)?

          1. diesel001
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Zaha

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

            Philips

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

            Ramirez imo

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

              But Zaha long term

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

            Zaha based on form.

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

            zaha if looking for long term

        5. Stokelona
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Giroud and Bony to Kane (c) and Defoe look good for a -4?

          1. diesel001
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Yes

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

              I think so too, just done it. Don't know why I posted it to be honest when it's so obvious. I'm just bored and putting off getting ready for work tomorrow

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

          Lukaku -> Kane
          Allen -> Fer

          Good moves?

          1. diesel001
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Lukaku yes. If Allen is your fifth midfielder then no point.

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

              Can't quite afford the straight swap. Good move to release some funds?

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

            If you can do the first one for free, then definitely. No need for the Allen one this week considering the opposition.

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

              See above, need to release funds unfortunately 🙁

              1. diesel001
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                Then go for someone really cheap. I have De Roon as my fifth midfielder as bench fodder. But that lets me have Aguero, Kane and Austin up front.

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

                  I've been rotating between Capoue and Allen as 4th Mid. Front 8 is currently:

                  Hazard, Sanchez, Firmino, Allen, Capoue
                  Aguero, Lukaku, Austin

        8. Concrete
          • 11 Years

          Coutinho to Siggy or Walcott

                Yes

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

          Whilst I wouldn't wish an injury on any player I have to say Coutinho did me a huge favour this weekend. Before the deadline I was looking sidelong at Kun, Sanchez and Lukaku and had a plan, depending on this weekend's performances, to do all of them out for KDB, Giroud and Kane. KDB was duly benched, Giroud stayed firmly on the bench, and Kane did nothing, albeit against, for my money, the best all round side in the league right now. So, yeah, I captained Coutinho and we know how that went, but after his orange flag I did a little dance when I realised I'd got exactly the money to do Coutinho and Lukaku out for Siggy and Kane, as long as I did it last night before Siggy's price rise. I pulled the trigger and my nerves were settled today by Sanchez' brace and Lukaku's blank. Onward and upward, eh? Thanks all. Hope you're enjoying this season as much as I am.

          Can someone educate me in how price drops affect a player I've owned for a while and made a profit on him? i.e cout S.P for me is 8.6 and he's currently 8.8 do I lose 0.1 in SP tonight?

                If he drops to 8.7 your sell price will go down to 8.5 I believe, because you get 0.1 profit for every 0.2 his price goes above what you paid.

                (8.4 + 8.8)/2 = 8.6
                Drop makes 8.55 so 8.5

            Rules > Transfers > Player Prices

            Player prices change during the season dependent on the popularity of the player in the transfer market. Player prices do not change until the season starts.
            The price shown on your transfers page is a player's selling price. This selling price may be less than the player's current purchase price as a sell-on fee of 50% (rounded up to the nearest £0.1m) will be applied on any profits made on that player.
            For example, if you buy a player for £8.3m and when you transfer him his price is £9.0m, his selling price will be £8.6m.

            Use the list view in transfers to see your purchase price.

            Your selling price profit is half of the difference, with .1 differences banked by the game.

            Based on your info:

            Purchased price 8.4 (I'm assuming), Current Price 8.8, selling price 8.6 so you would lose .1 when he falls in price later as 8.7 CP and 8.4 PP = 8.5 SP

          Sorry for asking again lads trying to avoid that price drop tonight with Coutinho which option would choose for GW 14 and onwards for a -4 hit?

          A) Coutinho,Stanislas & Fuchs > Pieters,Phillips & Hazard

          B) Coutinho,Stanislas & Fuchs > Fer,Pieters & Hazard

          C) Coutinho,Stanislas & Fuchs > Can,Pieters & Hazard

          Heaton, Pickford
          Vertonghen, Williams, Holebas, Evans, Amat
          Sanchez, Firmino, Coutinho, Allen, De Roon
          Aguero, Costa, Austin

          1FT, 1.4 in bank

          A) Coutinho -> Siggy

          B) Coutinho & Williams -> Hazard & Cedric (-4) (latter needed to free up 0.1 to get Haz)

          Apologies. The move cout + lukaku to siggy + Kane worth a hit?

              Don't think so but very popular atm.

              Pretty solid hit IMO.

              Kane a strong (c) pick 3 of the next 4 weeks. I think it's worth it and have made similar transfers.

            Don't know what's happening to me this season...1.5m+ overall rank. Never done this badly since I started playing

              Jonty is keeping you company. Plenty of time to shave 2 or 3 digits off your rank.

            Lukaku to Kane or Costa?

            I'll be getting Pedro in for Coutinho tonight.

              There's been a lot of debate about that today. For me Kane has better prospects over the next four, then you could switch to Costa depending on form.

            Heaton Pickford
            Lovren Holebas Evans Pieters Amat
            Sanchez Hazard Firmino Gundogan Fletcher
            Aguero Kane Austin
            Bank: 1 FT and 1.6m

            Really need to cut Gundogan loose (will lose 0.1m selling value tonight) but nothing screaming at me with a budget of only 7m. Any suggestions? I could also take the -4 and downgrade Lovren or Holebas to give me enough to get Siggy?

              it's a really crappy price window, for some reason. lots of good options just over 7m. nothing much just below 7. maybe go cheaper somewhere and boost defence.

            I've brought in Pedro for Coutinho. Although I don't like taking hits for defenders, I am debating a -4 to bring in Cedric for Williams. Thoughts?

              Against Palace next? Do it.
