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 had 4 defenders. Stones didn't play, but the automatic subsitution not replaced by a midfielder who had 3 points. (He was at the second place on the bench, the first was also a midfielder who didn't play). why wasn't a replace?

    1. keeney

      Auto subs ain't happened yet

      Autosubs come in in the order you have put them provided it still results in a valid formation

    Choose one for me people of FPL much appreciated.

    A) Coutinho & Stanislas > Hazard & Hojberg

    B) Coutinho & Stanislas > Pedro & Heung Min Son

    2. crikeybruce
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Why would you want Son? Madness

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

        2 assists vs West Ham last GW got nice fixtures right up till the New Year could be gold you never know.

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

          But you do know Hazard will be gold, so don't be silly.

    Pickford
    Clyne Vertonghen Evans Pieters
    Firmino Gundogan Coutinho Arnoutavic

    0.5 ITB & 1 FT

    A Coutinho > Eriksen/Alli/Walcott
    B Giroud > Defoe/Austin
    C Gundogan > 6.1 mid budget
    D take a -4

    Appreciate your ideas 🙂

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years

      Gund > Zaha or Allen?

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        And A to Theo.

        1. Scotty B

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

    Any idea why Randolph is getting the nod over Adrian?

    Apparently Bilic is looking for a new keeper in the January transfer window, but by the sounds of it the West Ham fans would rather have Bilic out before Adrian.

  6. matiakez
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    VVD in for fuchs a good option?

    What with the unable to defend from set pieces palace up next?

    1. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yep

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      VVD/Cedric both great options for Fuchs.

  7. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    A) Haz Firmino Sanchez Capoue
    Costa Austin Kun

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B from that list. I'd be tempted to downgrade Sanchez to Theo and get Siggy in for Redmond.

    2. Jacket Potato
      • 9 Years

      C looks good.

  8. Sol

    Pickford (Heaten*)
    Holebas* William Walker
    Sanchez Wally Coutinho* Firmino* (de Roon)

    2 FT 0.6 in the bank

    Coutinho Lukako > Siggy Kane ( Free)

    A) Yes
    B) No

      I'm thinking the same but I'm put off by Siggy's fixture next week. Also thinking Pedro...

  9. Samurai Blue

    Round 2: Which of the following pair you think will get the most points in December?

    Aguero AND Walcott
    OR
    Costa AND De Bruyne

    Rest of forward players are Hazard, Firmino, Siggy, Fletcher, Kane, Austin.

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

      A

    2. @ImpressiveTackl

    Bottomed:

    Zaha and Anichebe rotate pretty well. Apart from GW 16 in the next 13 or so weeks, they have a good rotation of really tasty fixtures. Seems ideal for someone who wants the freedom to shift weekly from 3-5-2 to 3-4-3 based on fixtures.

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

      Would only leave Sanogo as available in Arsenal forwards out of 5.

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

        Is that why he's not flagged?

        1. TorresMagic™

        lucas I think is back training now, hopefully starts in the cup with alexis rested

    2. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Stanislas still isn't flagged yet either fwiw

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

        This ^

    3. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe those in control of the flags are still in a dark room figuring out how to get Sanchez back in?

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

    Coutinho to Sig or Walcott

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

      Walcott

  12. @ImpressiveTackl
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Best mid for 7m or less?

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

      Milner

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

    The midfield with Coutinhio, Mata, Gundogan don't look very good. Any tips? Only 1 FT, so will probably need to take a few hits

    Heaton Pickford
    Walker Lovren McAuley Holebas Amat
    Hazard Firmino Coutinho Mata Gundogan
    Aguero Costa Austin

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

      Cout and Gun to Siggy and Snoddy

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

        Snoddy is an interesting shout. Will look on that one - thanks!

  14. Morgs
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Should I take any hits to change the following? Defence is massively underperforming...

    Foster
    Alonso, Williams, Fuchs
    Siggy, Haz, Firm, Snoddy
    Aguero, Kane, Defoe

    Pickford, Allen, Amat, Lenihan

    0FT, 2.1 ITB

    1. MTPockets
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I wouldn't.

    2. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Lads, what to do with Giroud? He keeps getting points but not asured for 90 min.

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

        Austin, Defoe, Costa, Kane, Kun, Ibra are better options

      2. Demí
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Can you afford Kane?

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

        problems with his hamstring after today's game, so I would probably get rid

    3. Legomane
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      *Cech* Heaton 
      Pieters Kone Walker Smith *Collins*
      *Coutinho* Sanchez Mane Sigurdsson Allen
      *Lukaku* Ibrahimovic Austin

      A. Lukaku, Coutinho > Kane, Pedro (-4) is Pedro nailed or Willian to return? 

      B. Lukaku, Coutinho, Cech > Kane, Eriksen, Valdes (-8)

      C. Lukaku, Coutinho, Collins, Cech > Kane, Alli, Cedric, Pickford (-12)

      Very tempted to go for C. I've been meaning get rid of Collins for absolutely ages, and would have last week if it weren't for Aguero... Would also give me a decent defence going forward. Thoughts much appreciated as always.

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

        Nice team - must have a high Team Value. Can you get Kane and Hazard?

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

          Sadly not without dumping Sanchez. Looking at Ibra>Costa in a week or two.

      2. Coaly
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        A

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

          Cheers, Pedro nailed?

          1. Coaly
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Yep

            Team hasn't changed for 6 weeks and he's playing very well

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

              Thanks.. Feeling like I could do with the overhaul and the Kane/eriksen combo could be pretty handy over next few weeks...soooo tempting!

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

      I find it funny that Watford are only 2pts behind Man United lol

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

        They also did beat them earlier this season

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

        was only one point before this week

    5. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Is Coutinho,Lukaku > Walcott/ Erikson,Kane worth -4?

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

        Yea hits are okay in this case

        1. The 12th Man
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Thanks

      2. Gooner Kebab
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        mulling this move too - both Couts and Luk dropping tonight!

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

        Guessing you own Siggy and as well? Can't decide between Eriksen or Theo myself

        1. The 12th Man
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yep Siggy is already in. Think I'm going Erikson.

      New to this. First post go easy

      My team
      Heaton/Pickford
      Alonso/Cedric/McAuley/Holebas(Tarkowski)
      Hazard/Firmino/Sanchez/Gundogan(Allen)
      Auger/Lukaku(Vokes)

      1FT and 0.1ITB

      Im wanting to take out Lukaku but not sure who for either Defoe or Austin? Also wanting to take out Gundogan. Any other suggestions are appreciated.

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

        Lukaku>Austin, Gundogan>Siggy

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

          Is it worth the hit tho? Away to spurs don't think I'll get a return. Im with you on Austin better fixtures

      2. MTPockets
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Both are decent and favourable next 2 fixtures. Then Austin's better.
          Not sure Gundogan worth a hit. Debating it myself although no brilliant options in that £ range.

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

            Probably just play Allen home to Burnley then you think?

            1. MTPockets
                9 years, 4 months ago

                I am yes.

        • Lallana_
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Heaton
          Evans Lovren Fuchs
          Mane Sanchez Sigurdsson Firmino Walcott
          Aguero Austin

          Bench: Pickford, Holebas, Smith, Diomande [1.1M ITB, 1FT]

          Thoughts? Not many great captain choices from my team next week. Crazy to consider Aguero>Kane?
          Also, is it worth getting Fuchs out to free funds for Friend/Cedric or should I upgrade him to Alonso?

          Thanks to anyone that replies!

          1. MTPockets
              9 years, 4 months ago

              I'd probably wait a wk then fuchs -> alonso.

            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Would anyone drop Costa or Aguero to bring Kane in for GW 14?

            1. Lawrø
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Not for me

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

              Never. They're the most consistent performers in this game.

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

              Not GW 14. But GW 15 - Aguero to Costa.

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

              Costa if you have hazard

          3. 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 weekCout, Mustafi/Fuchs, Lukaku > Siggy, Cedric & Kane (-4)?

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

            City-Chelsea score predictions?

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

              1-1

            2. Lawrø
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Score draw, I'd say 1-1

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

              2-1 City. Pep's got a week to prepare for it.

            4. Gooner Kebab
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              What Lawro would predict

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

              0-0

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

              3-1.

              City are going to put them in their place like they did to United at Old Trafford when everyone thought they were the top dog after a decent start.

            Do we think Son is still a decent option? Have 7.2 to spend on my Countinho replacement. Fixtures look lovely!

            Which of these is worth a -4?
            Holebas, Coutinho, Lukaku OUT for

            a. Cedric, Hazard, Defoe/Benteke
            b. Cedric, Siggy, Costa/Kane

              B definitely. Kane over Costa I would say.

                I was also on B but with Costa. Any particular reason to have Kane over Costa?

            Evening fellas. What would you do with this lot?

            Foster
            Alonso, Walker, Evans
            Coutinho, Hazard, Sanchez, Allen
            Aguero, Lukaku, Austin

            subs: Heaton --- Amat, Pieters, Capoue --- 2 FT, 0.0 ITB

            A) Coutinho & Lukaku -> Sigurdsson & Costa
            B) Lukaku, Coutinho & Walker -> Kane, Sigurdsson & Cedric (-4)
            C) Other, what?
