Saturday’s action concludes at the Hawthorns where Manchester United drop in on an in-form West Bromwich Albion.

The Fantasy attention will be split here, with United’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic owned by 28.4% and captained by 13% up against a popular West Brom rearguard.

While Tony Pulis’ defence has kept just a single clean sheet in 13, the likes of Gareth McAuley and Craig Dawson offer a big threat from set-pieces, while Chris Brunt’s delivery could be vital.

Brunt provided a pair of assists in the midweek victory over Swansea City from left-back but is pushed forward into a midfield role this evening as Dawson returns from suspension, shifting Allan Nyom to left-back.

Significantly, almost 500,000 of McAuley’s 1.2 million owners keep him on the bench for this one – 360,000 of Foster’s 664,000 ownership do the same with the Baggies keeper.

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

  1. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Still hoping to get couts and aguero back

  2. semiconductor
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    If i will use my WC next gw or the one after and I have 2 FTs for this gw. Would you do costa+walcott to ibra+lallana?

    P.s. i have sanchez

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      not Walcott though, Arsenal fixtures turn very sweet after City game

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yes but only for one game and her Costa back quickly

  3. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    is Costa + Son + Cedric / Pieters >>> Ibra + Zaha + Jones/Valencia for -4 worth it?

    1. semiconductor
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yes but dont trust zaha

  4. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    is michy a guaranteed to start in costa absence if so is he worth worth a punt for 1 week

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      i think he will start, or mght go with Pedro/Hazard

  5. Weasel51
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone

    Costa and Eriksen > Ibra and Walcott

    Or

    Costa and Hazard > Ibra and Ozil

    ???

    1. Bored Bear
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      A

      1. Weasel51
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Think it's worth a -4?

        1. ZeBestee
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          its worth it as long as Walcott starts the next few gw. i think Wenger will rotate a bit with Iwobi/Perez coming for Oxlade Walcott

          1. Weasel51
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Always that risk. May end up going Lallana instead even though I have Origi

  6. MrMaverick
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Looking to get this front 7 by GW20

    Hazard Ozil Firmino Walcott

    Aguero Costa Rondon

    Brilliant.

    0.2 off as it stands but Ibra and Mane price rises could solve that slight problem

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Philips Alexis Coutinho Eriksen
      Kun Costa Tekkers

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        This looks good

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Cout and Sanchez are big players to be going without

      1. MrMaverick
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Had coutinho for weeks before his injury, great option but ozil for the fixtures

        Sanchez is a ship that's sailed for me, £ way more expensive than entry £

    3. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      There is no guarantee you will want the same front 7 by gw 19 .

      1. MrMaverick
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I'm not a knee-jerk type of FPLer, I know what I want

    4. Kuqi Monster
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Gotta have tekkers

      1. MrMaverick
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        FFS groupthink says so

        Rondon > Benteke

        1. Kuqi Monster
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I couldn't give a monkeys what the FFS group think is.

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

    Why people over thinking

    Costa --> Ibra (next gw)

    Kane --> Costa (gw19)

    Applies for those who got costa very late (say above 10.5 price). Thoughts ?

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Straight Kane -> Ibra if you have a good sub for Costa next gw. Saves a FT.

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        not in my case who has de roon, evans and amat

    2. Kuqi Monster
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Think this is what I'll be doing

    3. justmatt
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Exactly what I'm doing. Only had Costa for last 3 Gw's so not really losing by transferring him out.

    4. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yes- Get Costa back quickly

  8. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Say Zaha goes to AFCON, would Benteke's output decrease? Looking at getting Tekkers in two weeks..

  9. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Which Boro def would you take for 4.4 ?
    Cheers !

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I've had a Chambers for a while now.

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        and what do you think about Friend ?

        1. The 12th Man
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Good option when fit.
          I'd say Gibson is the top pick from their defence .

          1. Atimis
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah, I would take him but I need some funds so it's between Friend and Chambers for next week

            1. ZeBestee
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Friend can get you assists.

  10. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Best move here? 2 FT 0.3m itb

    Foster
    Alonso,Lovren,Pieters
    Sanchez,Hazard,Erikson,Siggy
    Kane,Ibrahimovic,Origi

    Jakopovic,DeRoon,Chambers

    1. Pieters,Origi > Azpi,Anichibe
    2. Pieters/Lovren,Siggy > Azpi,Phillips
    3. Pieters/Lovren/Chambers+Hazard > Azpi,Lallana

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Non really convinces me, maybe wait one week ?

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        If I'm waiting where do I spend 1 transfer? Goalkeeper perhaps.

        1. Atimis
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          You can always consider Lovren to Jones but yeah, otherwise you can think about GK

  11. Carlton P
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Costa +? > ibra
    Alonso l Jones l cedric l chambers l Amat
    Hazard l Sanchez l wally l siggy l Antonio
    Costa l Kane l dio
    Need to find 0.4 and it will be for a -4

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Antonio to Redmond/Noble

      1. Carlton P
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Downgrading Antonio looks the obvious one
        I want Chadli gw20 so may just get him early, bad fixtures but saves me a transfer

        1. WE GO FOR IT
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Chadli is a good option as well.

    2. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Watched wham today and Antonio gets in some great positions through the middle (goes wandering from RB tbh)

      1. PepTalk
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        What, he just saunters in between George and Andrew and takes centre stage? Audacious

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

    A) Ibra + Fer
    B) Benteke + Siggy

  13. New Post
  14. MrMaverick
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Question: Are you going to be getting Kun straight back in GW19?

    I know I will

  15. Texas Pete
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Bes nmid for 9.8 or less?

  16. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Sorry for double but would you go for Friend or just get Chambers ?

    1. Deano
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Friend

  17. Deano
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    If anyone wants Aguero back next week fresh from suspension and raring to prove a point with his usual goal spree, then I'd wait until midweek to buy Ibra or transfer out Costa.

    1. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      he's not back next week.

  18. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Best 6.3 or below midfield for the next 2-3 gw. Have Matt Phillips already

    1. Klip Klopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Zaha has some decent fixtures

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        He has AFCON.

        1. Klip Klopp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          When does he leave?

        2. Klip Klopp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          It's not until the new year

  19. Klip Klopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Will costa drop and ibra rise tonight?

  20. FirminoIsBetterThanYou
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Kane->Ibra tonight to avoid price rise, if i don't do it tonight i'd have to do a -4 to get him in?

  21. Mockingbird
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I would have 3 consecutive gw of all my def have cs if Francis get cs today 🙂
