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.

    Williams doesn't even get 9 points he occasionally got athe Swansea anymore

      Haha, true. Although he doesn't even get the 6 points he occasionally got at Swansea.

    For GW 16:

    Foster
    Alonso Lovren McAuley
    Sigurdsson Sanchez Hazard Firmino Fletcher
    Kane(c) Ibrahimovic

    Pickford Amat Smith Diomande

    2 FT, £0.1 ITB

    A) Firmino, Smith > Eriksen, Bailly
    B) Firmino > Eriksen
    C) Smith > Ake to free up £0.5 and have 2 FT for GW 17
    D) Do nothing

    First time all season that I am pleased with my team and struggling to see any changes I need to make based on form and upcoming fixtures for next 3-4 weeks

      Lets just get this gw finish first

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        This

  3. fedolefan

    I'm just going to be positive about Williams. Hating him or jinxing has done nothing.

    Williams is going to get the winning goal and nick the 3 baps he rightly deserves.

    Damn i overslept & didnt change captain to sanchez!

  5. Differentiator

    Sickening from Behrami

  6. Hurricane Gilbert

    What do we know about the effect of fixture congestion (Xmas) on defence and clean sheets?

    Do teams sit back and keep it tight more? Do clean sheets increase?

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Nope, its usually the opposite. Teams switch off and we get unusual results

    2. Individual
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Lots of fatigue mate.

      Last year a lot of bang average gameweeks for the majority (~35 ffs, ~25 average), particularly at the end of Xmas, save if you had the random performer for that week (e.g. one week Koscielny goal means I owned the gameweek as noone else owned and he was literally the only fpl relevant player to do anything

  7. Worzel Gummidge

    Was between dropping Holebas or Williams to Alonso -4. Picked Williams. Draw so for. Wouldn't mind a Holebas screamer.

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Not going to happen.

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Wonderful insight Mystic Meg.

    2. Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      At least holebas is cheaper

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 7 months ago

        One of my reasons tbh. Also fixtures slightly better for Watford. Plus I can afford a drop on him. Not wasting an FT on a cheap defender unless I get the chance.

    Any truth in the Sanchez rested rumours? Nervous!

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      🙄

      Ban

      1. Sims

        He just asked Mr.

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          No need for scaremongering

    2. O Fenomeno
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I've heard no such rumors. Should start

      1. vardys party
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Awesome, got him in for a minus 8. Best be starting!

    best sites and apps for online streaming of premier league matches???

  10. Sims

    Some rumours spreading around of Sanchez rest?

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      25 minutes to team sheets

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I dont mind a rest, just dont want a bench cameo

    3. O Fenomeno
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Haha stir it up

  11. WDT
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Is it me or is Holebas' purple patch over as an asset. Switch back to a back 4 has nullified his threat, even with set pieces seems a run of the mill option now

    1. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      This.
      Switch to a back four has completely nullified a huge chunk of his potential
      Removed him 2 weeks back

    2. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      There and he s proved me wrong -_-

  12. JJJ
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Good coverage by NBC to catch Behrami puking on the pitch. I guess he is going to play through.

    1. Hooky
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Half time mince pie was probably not the best idea.

  13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    holebas long throws aren't even that long

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      i totally misread that at first sight...

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      surely a long throw is just that, long do?

  14. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez not seen getting off team bus.

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Apparently. Not making it up.

  15. HurriKane

    Won't be surprised if Alexis is rested. I called it last night

      You didn't "call it." You posed the question.

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years

    sanchez not in the squad maybe

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Not in the squad is good. 5 mins off the bench isnt

  17. Sims
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Wow what a waste of my transfer

    At least I have Walcott too

  18. Team Cruel

    Sanchez observed on a flight to China this morning.

  19. Back on the horse

      9 years, 7 months ago

      I've wanted shut of him since about gw3.
      Can never find a transfer though.

      1. Back on the horse
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        same, I thought he might come good but they have been awful

    2. michudagawd
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Been wanting to get rid of him the last 4 or 5 weeks! Have already pencilled in my replacement.

    3. Ephurion
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Forgot the "hit" there, mr.

      1. Back on the horse
        • 15 Years

  20. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Changed C from Sanchez to Hazard last second *shitting my pants*

    1. The Fantastic Mr Fox
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Why. Haz is playing tomoro

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I felt I'm doing something wrong and with these new rumors I know nothing like John snow...

  21. Chris_White

    Moment of silence for all those that did Walcott -> Sánchez (-8)

    1. Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Kept wally sold Allen

    2. drughi
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      -4 I would guess or is that specific trnsfer costing more

    3. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      [*] for me

  22. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    wally to cover sanchez points then

  23. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years

    sanchez c fail

        OMG lol @ bemba

  24. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    My Vice is either Costa or hazard anyway

  25. Zoom Zoom
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    (A) Ibra, Can and Alonso (8-pt hit)

    Or

    (B) Iheanacho, KDB, Cedric

    1. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      B

      1. Zoom Zoom
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Does this verdict change after today's game? Iheanacho was horrific. While KDB was amazing, is he worth the security of Alonso and the easy upcoming MUFC fixtures for Ibra?

  26. Sims
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    As a non Sanchez captained kind of annoyed

    It won't make any difference. Sub appearance would have been perfect

  27. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Nearly a assist for my Coleman 🙁

  28. Sims
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez > De bryune looking good is kdb does well tonight

  29. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Moment of silence for those with Amat 1st sub.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I've played him. CS on the way

      1. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        ^This

        Genuinely think he's a decent pick this week

        1. Toure The Route
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          S'land will attack as well , should be an open game with goals imo
          Honestly don't see a CS there with Defoe s form

    2. Moves like Dejagah
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Lol
