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.

    With Heaton Cout and Firmino flagged and 1 FT what would you do.

    I am thinking get Cout replaced asap and take a hit later in week if required?

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

      I have no backup keeper to Heaton just Jaku.

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

      Yes I'd do that

    3. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Firm should be ok from what I've read. Cout's looks bad. not sure on heaton

    4. *sigh*
      • 14 Years

      Yeah prioritise Coutinho

    5. RD
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Firmino should be fine..who is ur other keeper?

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

        Jaku so hope Heaton is back.

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

          If he isn't then ..u should take a hit as utmost it would be -2 instead of -4

      A I was planning Kane move but have Austin already and happy with that. Fixture wise Spurs mixes and saints fixtures are great. Kane could haul this week though.

    4. RD
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Just A..Firmino should be okay

    5. Sims

      I see none of you are members. If I restrict the season ticker to the next five and sort the fixtures by difficulty then Spurs fixtures are rated top, with Swans, Hull and Burnley at home in the next four, as well as Utd away, who are poop right now.

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

        That's not true. Guy couple of replies above is a member. Strange accusation

    Anichebe, Aguero

      A with Cedric

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

        Should I drop Kosc or Walker? Both are frustrating at the moment.

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

          Would keep Walker for the three "easy" home games.

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

            Thanks.. drop kosc then.

    2. *sigh*

      B Save ft and play Lukaku

    • 12 Years

    Coutinho, Hazard, Rashford

    To

    Pedro, Siggy, Kane -4pts

    Worth it?

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

      I wouldn't sell hazard

      How about Austin and siggy for rash Ford and coutinho

  9. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Any saints fans on here. Is hojberg a decent option? do you think hes won a spot in the team now??

    1. The hope that kills...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Probably not a great fantasy option. Will be rotated a bit as well.
      A useful player in the real world, though!

    2. wagwan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I think he deserves his spot, but I thought the same when he wasn't starting. He's been playing well, but Puel's keen on rotation (and tbh it's a necessity with our fixture list) so he's not properly nailed on. Regardless, he's my 5th mid, as I think on the balance of things he'll play a lot and he's not shy of having a pop.

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

      Not a Saints fan but Puel likes to rotate his players a lot especially because of thier in the EL so he's prone he impressed me earlier on vs Everton I wish he was more permanently too want Coutinho & Stanislas > Hazard & Hojberg

    4. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      thanks - need someone for 4.3 to enable kane and just think hes a more exciting option than de roon

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

        I've thought about that too but Austin,Aguero & Costa seem to keep doing the business Arry has good form and fixtures but need to bring in Haz for GW 15 onwards.

        1. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          front line will be auston, aguero, kane (swapping for lukak)

          cant stretch to costa

    5. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'd rather Fletcher TBH, scores v Burnley and gets taken off just before Hull score 😉

      1. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        hes shot up in value to 4.4 though!

        way too dear for my budget...

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

    Theo having just 2 shots in the last 3 games is rather off putting but there's no one below 8.5m that I fancy. Already got Siggy and don't fancy a Spurs mid as I have Kane

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

      If you don't have Sanchez ..he is a viable option for Arsenal cover

    2. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      There's aren't option any options really if you already own the ones you need to.

      Pedro/Mata/Erikssen/Alli/Walcott

      But the problem with these is most of us already own their teammates like Kane, Costa, Hazard, Sanchez, some Ibra too.

  11. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Bottomed..
    In desperate need of Coutinho replacement will loose value tonight.

    Current MF :
    Sanchez - Hazard - Firmino - Siggy - Cout

    A) Erikssen
    B) Alli
    C) Any other?

    I'm only looking at the next 4 matches and only Spurs catch my eye.

    Appreciate your thoughts!

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

      I'm leaning towards Eriksen

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Me too fks & corners swaying it towards him.

        Can't think of any other player.

        Walcott no as I don't want Arsenal double up.
        Pedro no as my 3 Chelsea spots will be Hazard, Costa, Alonso.
        Mata doesn't get more than 60 mins.

  12. HVT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    A (c) success coupled with Pieters could have made this a good week.

  14. John wick
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Tricky question to answer?

    Which team should we double up looking at form and fixtures

    A. Liverpool firmino and mane
    B. Arsenal sanchez Walcott
    C. Chelsea hazard costs

    Having coutinho sanchez and costa

    Thinking of replacing coutinho to double up arsenal or chelsea

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Chelsea.

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

      C. Pool have gone off the boil because of injuries, and Arsenal haven't gone on it yet.

  15. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Best replacement for Coutinho?

    A Alli
    B Eriksen
    C Walcott
    D Mahrez

    Already have Firmino

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

      C

    2. Hands Guber
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm leaning towards Alli but it feels like a bit of a gamble not having seen him play myself and not really knowing how involved he's been. Great fixtures though.

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

    Any Spurs fans online? Would love to hear some opinions which one between Eriksen and Alli they prefer and why.

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

      Would love to know this.

    2. Scotty B

      Be nice to know

    3. Karan_G14

  18. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Which one would you guys orefer of the following:

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

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

    Going to take a -8

    Allen to Sanchez
    Kun to Defoe any good?

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yeah this is too dumb to be real

      1. Sims
        • 9 Years

        That's rude. We shd try and help others

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Weren't you trolling ridiculous transfers last week? The grav seems familiar

    4. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years

  20. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Who are you guys captaining next week?

    Thinking Sanchez (C), Aguero (v)

    Ideally would like Kane though

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

      I've done Cout&Luk out for Siggy&Kane, as I'm sure many others have.

      Kane (c)

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

      Probs Austin unless I take a hit to get Kane in.

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

    Best 2GWs midfield punt (before WC) under 7.7? Rest of mid is KDB, Firmino, Siggy, Capoue + getting Kane as well.

    1. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years

      Always worth watching the highlights before making transfers 🙂

  29. Colonel Shoe 肝池

    had planned to get rid of sanchez for haz........ aint got a clue what to do now

    could do lukaku to kane, but somethign seems off

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Luka > Kane (c) 😎

    2. Lawrø

      How about Costa and hope that Spurs don't stuff Swansea? 🙂

  30. Valencia's Left Foot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Need help.. Drop Stones or Williams for Cedric? Both have been poor, but at least Williams plays. Surely Stones slots back in soon? Both dropping in price this week.

    Opinions appreciated!

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Stones

      1. Valencia's Left Foot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Leaning that way also. City's defensive numbers and fixtures are just so much better then Everton's. Useless if he doesn't play, I guess.
