Gameweek 18 comes to its conclusion this Wednesday evening as Southampton welcome Tottenham Hotspur to St Maryโ€™s.

Claude Puelโ€™s men seek a fourth successive clean sheet in front of their own supporters, with ever-present Virgil van Dijk (13% ownership) the most popular Saints player by some distance in Fantasy Premier League.

After netting twice in the 3-1 win at Bournemouth, Jay Rodriguez retains his role up front and is afforded another chance to play his way into our plans ahead of some fine upcoming fixtures.

Back-to-back home blanks against Hull and Burnley persuaded many to part company with Harry Kane last time out – the Spurs frontman was second only to Diego Costa for transfers out in Gameweek 18. Nonetheless, a big performance could have a big effect in the FPL standings – Kane is the sixth most captained player for this round of fixtures.

His Tottenham team-mate Christian Eriksen also earned significant sales after failing to deliver points against the Clarets, yet both have the underlying numbers to punish those who chose to look elsewhere.

    Why is no one looking at Mannone as a Pickford replacement?

    £4.3m, decent fixtures and proven

      What happens when Pickford returns?

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

        Looks like that won't be anytime soon.

        • 13 Years

        heard a rumour that he could be out for upto 3 months.... isn't it enough time to take mannone as his replacement?

      3. Judas
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        it is looking like a 3 month lay off...

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          I guess that will do till the DGW WC

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

            yep, plus he may retain his place over Pickford

            1. Ryan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years

              Nah I doubt it, Pickford has been class

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

      Imagine if it turned out to be nothing and Pickford started the next game. Very unlikely I know

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

        I am waiting for news anyway

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

      I am..but how long is Pickford out for. Sunderland have good fixtures but don't really keep clean sheets. You cud potentially save 0.7mln.

  2. thep025
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Had an excellent gameweek with 81 points and now absolutely chuffed to see myself in the top 5k.....Already did Kane - >Costa yesterday.... How does this look?
    Pickford Heaton
    Alonso Jones Cedric Barragan Nyom
    Sanchez Lallana Eriksen Sigurdsson De Roon
    Costa Ibra Origi
    0 FTs..... 2.5 itb.... Any transfers?
    Do I get in Kun after this? Or this is enough?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Congrats man! Looks fine to me, it's a wait and see for me on Aguero though so no need to rush him back in so quick.
      i'm inclined to keep origi, think he'll start against Man City?

      1. thep025
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks dude! But what is the general consensus? Are ppl over here getting him back?

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

          Holding on getting Kun back for about 2 more game weeks

      2. thep025
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        And I think he should start against city

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Cool, i reckon he'll start as well.

          I dont think many are rushing to get Kun back, just a matter of preference if anyone does decide to get him back, he's out of sorts this season though, i may not bring him back at all.

  3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

    Now considering sticking Baines in and taking a hit for Kun next week...

  4. nkhoughton

    Have they changed price rise times? Used to be 2:30

    1. Judas

      1. nkhoughton
        • 10 Years

        Oh man last I remembered was 2 30

        1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 9 Years

          It was 2:15am BST, then the clocks changed.

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

          Heaton up- grabbed him with Pick injured and Grant potentially leaving Stoke. Antonio and Reid up too and Defoe down.

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

      Same time as last season.

      1. Tansey

        Long time no see Diva

  5. L S P
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Who to play?

    A) Holebas (TOT)
    B) Lovren (MCI)
    C) McAuley (sou)

    Cheers

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

      Same question: have Holebas and McCauley- leaning McCauley

  6. FALCAO & MOU
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Does this happen every season, jumping 1000's of ranks because of just 5 to 10 points or is this season some special kind of thing?

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

      every season at this stage

  7. Moose™
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone considering Holgate as 5th def?

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

      twould be lovely but nailedness?

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

        Nailed in new 3-4-2-1 formation

        1. Minion
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Not even remotely nailed. He was put in ahead of club captain Jags in order to nullify the threat of Mahrez down Leicester's left who, ironically, was benched. Jags, Williams and Mori will be that 3.

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

            Ok....but out of the last 5 previous game weeks Jags has only played once..Time will tell...l will keep an eye-out to see if Holgate plays.

        2. L S P
          • 10 Years

          twould be lovely but nailedness?

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

      No, but if you dare, plan as though strictly non-playing. A very good 4th defender would be in order.

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

    Foster (Japu)
    Amat Cedric Alonso (Walker Nyom)
    Sanchez Eriksen Siggy Allen (Fletcher)
    Kane Origi Ibra

    2.2 ITB 1 FT

    Any suggestions?

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

      i'd be concerned about no CHE or LIV attack

      (origi doesn't count)

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

        Lol. Understood. Plan was to get back Costa this week (Did Costa> Ibra since I just bought him before the suspension)

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

          ๐Ÿ˜‰

          good plan, esp if you do kane->costa as i'm sure you will.

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Kane > Costa
      Allen > phillips

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

        Thanks for the reply. Good moves those. But can't do the Allen, maxed out on WBA...Fletcher > Phillips?

        1. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah

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

        Kane > Costa
        Allen > Lallana

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

          Priced out by..0.1. Missed a price drop smh.

          Thanks though!

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Kane missed penalty because dodgy turf otherwise double figure score and Watford up next. Madness

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

        Scored today but not been impressing regardless. Not only today...seems out of the general play.

  9. omar7lfc
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    ok lads, here's the big one for my WC
    SANCHEZ OR IBRA

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

      Figure out how to have both or toss a coin.

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Both

    3. L S P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      easy: both.

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez, but both preferred

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

      Both- not hard to do

    6. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Both rather than Hazard Costa double up

  10. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Which one of these bums to sell?

    A)Eirksen
    B)Alli

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

      B.

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      B

    3. L S P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      B seems smarter unless you want to catch the inevitable prices rises

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

      Neither

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

      Alli got a brace today. Sell Eriksen

  11. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Hmmmm. Mane + tekkers > lukaku + lallana worth a hit?

    Or should I walker, mane, benteke > brunt, phillips, ibra (-8)

    1. omar7lfc
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      first one definetely

  12. nkhoughton
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Is mustafi worth a shout he's back next gameweek

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

      Seems an unnecessary risk until he's dependably starting.

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Lets see when he return

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn't risk it

    4. L S P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      sure if you can afford multiple premium DEFs

  13. DannyD
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Hey lads,

    Please help as I wondering what I should do with the following:

    Heaton
    Holebas, Alonso, McAuley, Lallana
    Sánchez, Hazard, Allen
    Costa (VC), Origi, Ibra (C)

    Bench: Pickford, Walker, Capoue, Love

    ITB: £2.1m FT:2

    A. Walker -> Rose
    B. Walker -> Jones
    C. Walker & Origi -> Jones & Rondon
    D. Walker & Allen -> Jones & Ali/Sterling (not enough for Erikson)

    Cheers

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      D

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

      B (just did it today) or D

  14. StingRay
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Some points to consider / l we'd like your views on:

    Koeman played Holgate in a back 3 formation, with Baines and Colman played in midfield. Holgate's a great buy = only 4.0 mln. Tricky to know if Holgate will get a regular place...worth keeping an eye on.

    Everton have great fixtures coming up....but their away form is poor. Is it worth getting the YAK in?

    With Sunderland's goalkeeper out for what's looking like a long stretch, is it worth transferring in his replacement = MANNONE= especially as he's only 4.3 mln?

    I'm leaning towards captaining Costa instead of Ibramhovic. Reasons are: Costa rested whereas an elderly Ibramovic will not and Middlesborough's defence is tougher than Stoke's...thoughts.

    Cheap reserve non-playing goal keeper = Hull's Jakupovic = 3.9 mln.
    Jakupovic

    I had a great gameweek of 80 points. I was happy that after the previous game week l immediately transferred in Ibramhovic, esp. as his price has soared.

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      1) Time will tell, probably wont use a transfer on him at the moment.

      2) Some tricky games are about to come, he did have a good record when playing, so might be worth it if cash is an issue. Alternatively, Hennessey/Mandanda is also an option. Or you can pay lil bit more and get Foster

      3) Good choice. Costa will probably do better than Ibra.

      4) Jakupovic, doesnt really matter though.

      #Congrats on 80 pointer

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Jagielka was out. Forget about Holgate

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

      This: Holmes
      Add- Heaton gets lots of bonus points and is the best GK on points per wage out there.

  15. Phil Dagger โญ
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Walker to Brunt on ft ?? ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yep

      1. Phil Dagger โญ
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        cheers Holmes

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

      I'm holding on to Walker and saving the FT.

      1. Phil Dagger โญ
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I was 100% saving too and playing him against Watford before getting rid for Brunt with 2fts
        so should I do it just now

        doesn't make any difference and will have one more player for gw 19

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

          I was hoping to play him v. Watford too. I'm saving the FT because the moves I'm considering may require 3 transfers in one of the next couple of GW's and want to minimize hits. How did your GW go?

          1. Phil Dagger โญ
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            pretty nice
            happy with 74 points ๐Ÿ™‚

            Haz captain over ibra too
            great thing is
            my bench of Grant Ake* Costa* Amat
            returned 0 points ๐Ÿ˜›
            very happy that all starting 11 played

            how did you do ? ๐Ÿ˜€

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

              74 here as well, with 3 1-pointers. Moved the needle by over 100K, so happy.

              1. Phil Dagger โญ
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 2 months ago

                hehe wow ๐Ÿ™‚
                well done mate...

                74-74 too ๐Ÿ˜‰

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

                  It gets better. I capped Sanchez and forgot to save the change so I woke up after the GW deadline to find the armband back on Ibra - and then dumb luck finally came my way. ๐Ÿ™‚

      2. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I would also keep Walker.
        Thinking VVD is a better option too

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Id hold walker. Good fixtures in 2 weeks

      1. Phil Dagger โญ
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I know but need money for kun ๐Ÿ˜‰

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

      Walker to Brunt or Jones

      1. Phil Dagger โญ
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        already have Jones ๐Ÿ˜‰

  16. AppleDunk
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Is Hennessey worth a look as a replacement to Pickford, now with Big Sam in charge? Is Mandanda taking his place once fit?

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

      Nobody knows what Sam will do with the gk
      It would be nice to get a update on Mandanda is he back in January or does Hennessey get more time

  17. Give Me the Mane
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Lallana or Sterling? Or wait for Coutinho? (Considering upcoming fixtures)

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

      if you can wait for cout, wait.

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

      Was gonna say get Lallana but Cout is due back pretty soon right? Might be worth waiting and using a transfer somewhere else if needed. Sterling is too prone to rotation and inconsistency imo.

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

      Lallana all day for me over Sterling.

      Lakelana seems to play all over the place....so influential...l was impressed with his game against Stoke.

      With Aguero coming back, will Sterling have such an attacking role?

    Erisken + Lukaku (-4) vs Costa + Siggy.

    Which one to go with for the next few gameweeks? Have Hazard and no Tottenham players

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Eriksen and Luka

  19. Moose™
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Alonso + Bellerin too overkill?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      If you have cash, not an issue

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

      With ARS fixtures? Nah. Couldn't afford it myself though without making horrible sacrifices elsewhere but if you're prepared to do it then good luck to ya.

      1. Moose™
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        This is my team:

        Foster

        Alonso Bellerin Amat

        Sanchez(vc) Hazard Siggy Lallana

        Zlatan (C)osta Origi

        Sub: Pickford Holgate Amat DeRoon

          2 Amats' + Holgate = playing with 10

          1. Moose™
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Ah. Pieters instead of Amat. How do you look it TM? Alonso and Bellerin is the best def moving forward?

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

      Had Bellerin and Kos- Lost patience with Arsenal D - was a little better with a Mustafi but he is still out. Wenger can't coach Defense. He just calls them too nieve time and time. Arsene- it is you!

      1. Moose™
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        If not Bellerin, which def to partner with Alonso?

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

          Jones- Man U.
          Mourinho is a defensive specialist and Jones is only about 4.9 and nailed. Brunt of West Brom also is nailed and only about 5.0 and plays for defensive specialist Pulis.

          1. Moose™
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            How many cs for WBA this season?

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

              Stato says 5 for Gunners and 3 for West Brom. 2-3 of Gunners' CS have come with Mustafi in the line up.

  20. Happy with this weeks score but unimpressed with 2/3 of my starting defenders in Cedric and Friend.

    I'll be saving this week and doing a mini WC -4 or -8 next week with something like...

    Defoe -> Lukaku
    Sigurdsson -> Phillips
    Cedric -> Brunt

    1ft, 0itb

    Heaton
    Alonso / Cedric / McAuley
    Sanchez / Hazard / Eriksen / Siggy / Lallana
    Zlatan / Defoe

    Pickford / Pieters / Friend / Diamonde

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Looks good imo unless something else pops up

      I'll be doing Defoe to lukaku
      Siggy to cabaye for me
      For a hit.

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…

      Double West Brom D- risky

  21. omar7lfc
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    posted earlier weather to get ibra or sanchez, since everyone replied both how can i fit sanchez into this team there is no way

    Heaton
    Van Dijik - Brunt - Rose - Azpi
    Hazard - coquelin - Lallana
    Ibra - Costa - Lukaku

    Ill consider taking hazard out if its possible
    please help asap, thanks

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      One of hazard and costa has to go for sure

      1. omar7lfc
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        you think sanchez>hazard or sanchez>costa? or keep it the way it is

        1. The Overthinker
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          It really depends on you whether to go with costa or hazard , if you want Sanchez
          If you want both, you can't have Sanchez.
          Imo one of hazard or costa is enough .

      2. nkhoughton
        • 10 Years

        Hazard over coquelin you crazy?

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

      Too pricey a Def for my taste. Azpi and Brunt and Amat and Ake and move Coq to Sanchez;

      I am a bit surprised that everybody picked brunt and nobody even considered baines. He has good fixtures, takes corners, penalties, fk and always has attacking threat.

      Cheers to everyone ๐Ÿ™‚

    Anyone looking at lukaku this week?

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

      Not me, but seems many are.

    2. Im going him over Costa. Already have Hazard and Lukaku can pull in big hauls and hatricks.

  25. FantasyFreak
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Just activated my WC. Looking for a template team.

    Heaton Grant
    Brunt Ake Jones Amat Alonso
    Sanchez Lallana Antonio Capoue Hazard
    Ibra Costa Anichiebe

    ITB: 0.2

    Any recommended changes?

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

      Not sure how nailed Jones is. And I'd replace Haz w/ Eriksen and see what that would other templatey formations that would allow.

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

        * delete 1st "that would" .

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

      I know there are not a lot of options at the price but I don't like Amat Capoue

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

      This is a fantastic line up imo.
      Maybe Capoue for DeRoon at .5 savings itb as Boro is very strong at home and has good fixtures. Then, play a 3-5-2 and you r set.

  26. omar7lfc
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    last one:
    Costa or Hazard

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Both

    2. Rich2086
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Costa for me

    3. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Prefer Costa as an FPL pick.

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

        I just don't get this statement. 190, 202 and 233 points in the 3 seasons before the horrible last season. This season he has 2 points less than Costa in just as many games, well on pace for 200+ points again.

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

          It's just a preference, not an argument. But for me the argument involves the ability to spread risk and the availability of better midfield choices to cover Hazard than forward choices to cover Costa.

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

      Costa.

  27. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    How likely is it that CIA (Costa, Ibra and Aguero) becomes the SAS of this season? Miss those days ๐Ÿ™‚

          Nope, didn't follow PL closely until I started playing FPL last season.

      No need to ship Wally.

  29. Richd

    Would you take FPL being UK only if it could then be for cash prizes?

    It'd be epic, but a shame to lose some close friends.

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

      e.g cash mini leagues with the site taking a small percentage for holding money etc

    2. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Is that why there's no cash prizes? I've always thought the prize was pretty disappointing

    3. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      No
      No reason there cant be a UK mini league side show
      And anyway how many would be in this league 250k players?
      It would be very bad for fpl standards the UK is never up there with the best country's ๐Ÿ™‚

    4. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      No, I like the global reach the game has. This is why they need to bring back UFPL though - a decent prize (at least for UK residents) would make it more interesting.

      Since you have Grant, consider Pickford -> Hennessey. They rotate pretty well and it's cheaper than say Heaton/Jak. You just missed Heaton's rise and his fixtures are pretty bad anyway (though he does seem to conjure points out of thin air).
