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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Lukaku dropping at 5% an hour, set for a price fall tonight.
    Will hace to do a double swap for 2 FT if to prevent the loss:

    Couthino + Lukakue -> Sigguy + KAne for free ??

    yay or nay

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

      Big yay from me.

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

      I don't like Siggy, but not bad.

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

        Which alternatives would you prefer, e.g.
        Mata
        Pedro
        other?

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

      yay

    4. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Template move now Pomel with (K)ane.

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

        Kaptein Kane to propel me up the ranks!

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

      Nay

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

      Have done the exact moves myself

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

      in same boat and will probably do that. or milner instead of siggy

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

        Milner an under the radar pick for sure, placeholder until Couthino is back.

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

    Grant (Pickford)
    Fuchs, Rose, Koscielny (Holebas, Amat)
    Hazard, Sanchez, Coutinho*, Gundogan* (Marney)
    Austin, Aguero, Deeney*

    2FT, 1.0 ITB

    Coutinho > Zaha
    Deeney > Kane

    Gundogan > Fer for -4? To avoid Gundo price fall. Seem sensible, or just stick to 2FT and risk having to play 4-3-3?

    Also, is Butland back next week?

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

      Butland has joined training with first squad on Friday and is likely to start next gameweek

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

    GWR updated too

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

    Walker Lukaku to Cedric Kane -4?

    Reluctant to lose Walker but that's the only way I can fund it

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

      Yes..

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

    Best Coutinho replacement? Walcott or Eriksen?

    1. Jacket Potato
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Looking at Spurs fixtures I would say Erik. Still not that convinced by Walcott.

  6. La vida FPL

    1. dhamphiir

      Martins Indi 3

  7. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    • 16 Years

    LMS average = 51.77 😯

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

      49 should be safe I assume?

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

        You're asking if 49 is safe when the AVERAGE score is 51?

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

          Yeah that was strange comment

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

      What's the safety score? I got in mid 30s

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

      😮 Guess I don't even get to wait to see if I can survive with a -28 hit...

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

        Jesus, what were your transfers?

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

          I don't even remember all of them but basically the end product is a team that I'm not planning on changing for the rest of the season...

          ...in theory 🙂

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

            Sometimes it works. I'm on a -8 for this week, -4 last and -4 next. So basically same as you. Hoping to finally save some transfers in the coming weeks.

  8. Tronity
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    2FTs. Favouring B but any thoughts on either...

    A) Mustafi & Shakiri > Lovren & Siggy
    B) Shakiri & Lukaku > Siggy & Austin

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

      B

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

    How are those who transfered Sanchez > Hazard last international break feeling now?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      thinking about their next knee jerk maybe

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Sick.

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

      Getting back Sanchez so I have both Hazard and Sanchez

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

      Hazard still is the better pick. 1 game doesn't mean anything?

      1. KJT123
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        With all due respect you are talking rubbish. Sanchez is the focal point of one of the best attacks in the Premier League.

        Hazard isn't even the biggest threat in Chelsea's team.

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

          I didn't see Arsenal score 4 against United or will be able to score 5 against Everton. Hazard is Chelsea's main player everything goes through him. Arsenal had to get a OG to beat Tottenham Chelsea didn't.... etc

    5. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Regretful.

      To be fair, I thought he was injured 🙁

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

      Unlucky lads, tbf I nearly did same but I found another way to get 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)

      Hi how is it going?

    3. FPL Virgin

      5th mid?

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        looks like it....could be 4th trying to stuff all these elites in

    4. BabyB
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Played because Davis was ill i believe. Don't go there imo.

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

    Erikssen or Alli?

    Does anyone have any reasons as to why they prefer one of them?

    Would appreciate some help as I need make my Coutinho move tonight. Thanks!

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Alli purely based on Lamela being due back.

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

        Lamela won't be a problem to Erikssen's minutes.

        1. Van der Faart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          No but Alli should fare better with Lamela in the team.

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

            Interesting. Why would you say that?

            1. Van der Faart
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Alli playing more centrally behind Kane. More goal threat than Eriksen and more assist potential. Lamela key to Spurs and Kane and Alli in particular

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

      Very difficult to choose between them fantasy wise. For no particular reason I'd just go Dele, but it wouldn't surprise me if either were left out. Have no idea why we bought Sissoko.

      I thought about getting one of them for Coutinho but in the end, the correct answer was to get Kane for a hit instead. Great (c) pick for 3 of next 4 weeks.

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yep. Went for Kane as well

  15. Robe Wan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Is there any chance cout is fine?

    1. John3.16
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yes he's looking nailed on to be out for a few weeks

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

      Big no

  16. John3.16
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Decent haul this week...thinking only slight defence tweeking needed, mid heavy I know. Any suggestions welcome, need to offload stones ASAP;

    Foster
    Azpi / Pieters / Simpson
    Pedro / Sanchz / Frimi / Alli
    Kun / Teke / Rondon

    Jaku / Stones / Capu / Kingsley

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

    Going to crowdsource this weeks transfer, can't do any worse than my own decisions, 17k in GW4 down to 626k now!

    Lukaku >
    a) Austin (frees up cash to invest in defence e.g. Alonso)
    b) Costa (the mans just on fire)
    c) Kane (more of a differential than Costa)
    d) Something else

    Pickford/Foster
    Holebas, Britos, Love, Evans, Pieters
    Sanchez, Hazard, Firmino, Siggy, Allen
    Anichebe, Aguero, Lukaku

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

      Costa. Had him since day 1, my only positive this season!

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

      Kane. 3 of the tastiest fixtures in the next 4 for Spurs. (SWA,HUL,BUR) He could fill his boots!

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

      C

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

    A) Haz Firmino Sanchez Capoue
    Costa Austin Kun

    B) Pedro Firmino Sanchez Redmond
    Costa Tekkers Kun

    C) Haz Firmino Siggy Capoue
    Costa Kane Kun

    D) Haz Firmino Walcott Siggy
    Costa Tekkers Kun

    Choose 1 front 7 and win a prize

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

      C.

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

      A) with Kane over Costa looks beautiful

  19. drughi
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Deeney>kane is what I'm doing but to afford the move I need to do coutinho > max 6.8 midfielder. Any suggestions on who is the best pick at that price range ?

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

    I'm gonna get knocked for this like but I'm definitely doing Coutinho,Fuchs & Stanislas > Cedric, Pedro & Toure for a -4 hit.

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

      I like the first two but better options than Toure. No way he is nailed on

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

        I'd say he was when starting 2 PL games on the bounce now Gundogan could be a Cup player for Pep.

    2. BROOKLYN GOONER
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      very promising, although not sure about toure...alternatives at that price, or lower & use funds elsewhere

  21. Annie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I'm in the knee jerk Sanchez to Hazard and have Coutinho and Lukaku group. With 2 FT:
    a) Haz/Costa/Eriksen
    b) Haz/Kane/Siggy
    c) Sanchez/Costa/Siggy

    All of these feel like chasing this week's points, but which serves me best until the New Year?

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B

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

      I like C

  22. Whits
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Which one to bring in for Lukaku?

    A) Costa

    B) Kane

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

      B, then A the week after if not banned.

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B

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

      Kane. U have missed the Costa boat

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

        Why is so?

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

    Cout, KDB, Lukaku > Siggy, Kane, Walcott (-4)

    Gives me the funds to do:
    Cameron > Alonso GW15 + a precious 1m ITB

    --------------- Heaton ------------------
    ------ Brunt McAuley Holebas ------
    KDB Hazard Firmino(c) Coutinho

    1. Z

    Ibra punt went well. Would you guys do Cout to Siggy or Firm? Have Mane.

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

      I just did to Siggy, then sold lukaku to get Kane.

        9 years, 4 months ago

        thank you

  29. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    A. Coutinho & Lukaku -> Sanchez & Defoe -4

    B. Coutinho & Lukaku -> Walcott & Kane -4

    C. Coutinho & Aguero -> Kane & Sanchez -4

    Probably leaning towards B but I really want to cut my losses and get Sanchez back in

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

      B imo

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

      I'd say B, Walcott still a decent Arsenal cover, I think

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

      I've just done Cout,Lukaku > Erikson,Kane -4.

      So B. Imo

    4. Sol
      • 11 Years

      B imo
