Gameweek 15 eases its way into our weekends via a rather tepid fixture from a Fantasy Football perspective, with assets from both Watford and Everton slipping from the radar of late.

Romelu Lukaku has regressed to fire just a single goal in his last six Gameweeks, restoring his “unreliable” tag and ensuring that he has been evacuated from thousands of Fantasy Premier League squads over the last month.

Equally, we’ve fallen out with Watford’s early risers – the likes of Etienne Capoue, Troy Deeney and Jose Holebas showed such promise but have faded badly in recent Gameweeks.

With expectations kept low, we are likely to consider this first fixture as a Scouting mission, an encounter to be used to weigh up and assess whether the aforementioned players can return to favour.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

  4. tm245
    • 14 Years

    He really is like no other player in the game.

    1. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Yep, gotta love him though. 🙂

      1. Arteta
        • 10 Years

    Just had to happen.

  10. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Anybody else transferred out Lukaku before this GW?

  11. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    He's going to score a hat trick, isn't he

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Sold lukaku last week

    Annoyed

  13. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Lukaku to costa for a hit not going well so far 🙁

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 9 Years

  15. Alnair
    • 9 Years

    Lukaku --> Kane transfers this week getting punished 😀

  16. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    that Barry pass though

  17. FPL Notebook (John)
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    The captaincy stats for Sanchez top 10K are scary. 135% effective ownership.

    As an owner but non captainer, I guess a low score is good

    1. Jasoooooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      As a non-owner, I must say I am very scared.......

      What makes it worse that the only match that is being televised where I live in Australia tonight is the Arsenal game................ 🙁

      Time to prepare the couch to hide behind I think

  18. Garlana
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Watford please score...first time since owning Williams that I've benched him...

  19. Sif
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    The troll only rears his head when you sell him...

    1. GinjaWhinja
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Lukaku has got to be a real good differential right now, given how sucky he has been.

      1. The Fantastic Mr Fox
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Not with those fixtures

    2. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Not correct. Many had him for 6-7 goals.

  20. Tansey
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    I've always wondered. Can someone tell me what's up with Cholevas on Holebas' jersey

    1. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Different translation of greek characters?

  21. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Why does everyone say Trollkaku?

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Because everyone has sold him

      1. Bleach †
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        Everyone?

        1. Chris_White
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          On here, at least

          1. Bleach †
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 10 days ago

            Not really.

    2. Tansey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      In the past he's always scored when people don't want him to/sold him and didn't score when most expected to. He trolls everyone

    3. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Scores when nobody has him, blanks when everyone has him

    4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Because he is the worst FPL-troll there is. Whenever you have him he blanks, whenever you sell him he goes crazy.

    5. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      When we have him and hoping he will score - he doesn't.
      When we sold/benched him or don't expect anything from him - he scores.

      One of the most famous trolls in FPL. 🙂

    6. getfunky
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      he's in my good books this season as I brought him in for his hatty against Middlesborough & captained him

    7. red devil 7
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      bcoz lukaku is a good guy

  22. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Lukaku has 25% ownership in the top 10k...

    1. Garlana
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      You're kidding?

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Should balance out Holebas so

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      What?!

    4. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Not a big surprise, I'm top 5k and have held him over Kun for months.

  23. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Was looking forward to saving my transfer this week but feeling a Holebas rage transfer coming already 😀

    1. Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Maybe u shd sell Austin first given u probably kept him

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        I didn't

        1. Sims
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          That's strange u were so confident Thursday night

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 10 days ago

            The night moved on, you must have left early

  24. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    The 4 blanks before this does pain of doing Lukaku > Kane a while back, Kane will outscore him easily over the next 4 gameweeks anyway

    1. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      I think so, and I'm a blue.

  25. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Lukaku was always going to troll me the week I finally got rid wasn't he.. (And for a hit)

    1. Bleach †
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Selling Lukaku for a hit vs Watford... Got only yourself to blame.

      1. GoonerByron
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Because of the price changes mainly.. Him dropping, Ibra rising.. Ibra should outscore him over this month though hopefully

  26. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    How much is that Lukaku fella?

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Down to 9.4m

    2. Golden Venture
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      9.4

  27. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    I would have probably kept Lukaku if it wasn't for his mental price drops at the start of last week. He is a proven goal scorer

  28. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Lukaku - 1 goal against a poor team does not make a FPL essential / superstar

    1. Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Nobody said it did

    2. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Consistent goals against many teams does. He's underrated.

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Still early. He might get a brace. He will rise. He will blank. It's the circle of FPL-life.

  29. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Costa back to lukaku if diego gets a yellow!

  30. Backup Dancer
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    I told someone to keep lukaku for this game. Hope they did 🙂

    1. Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      On the plus side he lost some money

      1. Backup Dancer
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Logic was if you'd kept this long you give him watford
