Fixtures

Frisking the Fixtures – Gameweek 23 – The Strong

As we delve into our latest look at the schedules over the next four-to-six Gameweeks, there’s plenty of uncertainty in the air with blanks and double Gameweeks becoming the favoured topics of conversation around these parts.

Such eventualities have seen us favour Everton and West Bromwich Albion for the upcoming period, with both teams unaffected by any potential missing fixtures, while they also avoid the majority of the big guns over the next few weeks.

Everton

(sto, BOU, mid, SUN, tot, WBA)

The Toffees face four very enticing home fixtures in their next seven, with Ronald Koeman’s side hosting Hull City in Gameweek 29, following visits from Bournemouth, Sunderland and West Brom to Goodison Park.

Having registered four clean sheets in their last five, further defensive returns appear likely over the coming period, given that Middlesbrough have only scored twice in their last four, while Sunderland and Hull City tend to struggle for goals on the road.

Shut-outs look obtainable in all of the upcoming matches barring the Gameweek 27 trip to White Hart Lane, so investment in the Toffees rearguard should continue to bear fruit.

Fielded as wing-backs recently, Seamus Coleman and Leighton Baines are the standout candidates, though the 4.1-priced Mason Holgate has started three of the last five and could emerge as the value pick.

The appeal is heightened by the fact Everton won’t be affected by Gameweek 26 or 28 blanks, given that they face the Baggies, who are also out of the FA Cup, in Gameweek 28.

The appeal of their leading Fantasy assets will no doubt drop when we can be certain of the teams that will face double Gameweeks, though.

From an attacking perspective, Romelu Lukaku should be capable of producing plenty of attacking points, particularly in the Bournemouth and Sunderland match-ups, considering that those teams have conceded 11 and eight goals respectively over the last four Gameweeks.

The Hull fixture in Gameweek 29 will be equally favourable, so despite not having spot-kick duties, the Belgian should be able to justify a place in many of our three-man attacks.

Ross Barkley and Kevin Mirallas could also be strong differential candidates given the kind upcoming schedule, while Tom Davies’ goal and two assists in three underlines his budget potential at 4.4.

However, we should be wary of Idrissa Gueye’s return from AFCON, which will hand Koeman a selection headache in midfield, with one of Mirallas or Davies likely to be under threat.

West Bromwich Albion

(mid, STO, whm, BOU, CPL, eve)

The Baggies are another team who won’t be affected by the possible Gameweek 26 and 28 blanks, while Tony Pulis’ men remain in the midst of a very soft part of their schedule.

West Brom have been particularly strong from an attacking point of view in home matches over the last few months, so the Bournemouth and Palace clashes look favourable for Matt Phillips and, to a slightly lesser extent, Salomon Rondon.

They also avoid all of the current top six in their away matches, though, so that pair could also produce attacking points on their travels.

Baggies defenders Chris Brunt and Gareth McAuley may provide the best value, though.

Brunt, in particular, has been explosive at the Hawthorns, be it at left-back or on the wing, and, after also collecting clean sheet points against Sunderland last time out, we may also see West Brom garner further shut-outs over the next five Gameweeks.

The clashes against ‘Boro and Palace look the most promising in that regard, given that the Eagles have managed just one goal in their last four matches.

As is the case with Everton assets, though, the appeal of Baggies players may fade once we get confirmation on which teams will face double Gameweeks.

Also Consider…

Crystal Palace
While Palace look in danger of having a blank in Gameweek 28 if Spurs progress to the FA Cup sixth round, their five fixtures up to that point (bou, SUN, sto, MID, wba) are very strong.

They’ll also be boosted by the return of Wilfried Zaha from the Africa Cup of Nations, following Ivory Coast’s surprise group-stage exit, so the winger could be back in demand at his original Fantasy Premier League (FPL) price of 5.5.

His return could also help Christian Benteke get back on track, although patience is clearly wearing thin following seven successive blanks.

There were some signs of improvement from a defensive standpoint against Everton, but while clean sheets appear possible in the two home matches, it’s unlikely many Fantasy managers will be looking to take a gamble on the likes of Jeffrey Schlupp quite yet.

Tottenham Hotspur
Their Gameweek 25 trip to Anfield is the only really difficult fixture all the way up to Gameweek 35, although as already touched upon, Spurs may well face a blank in Gameweek 28.

The key may be to plan for such an eventuality, then, particularly given the high proportion of FPL bosses that are currently sitting on at least two Spurs players.

The short-term outlook looks particularly bright, with a trip to Sunderland followed by a home encounter with ‘Boro, so Danny Rose and Kyle Walker both remain strong picks in defence, while further forward, Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and Harry Kane should be able to maintain their excellent form.

It’s worth bearing in mind, though, that Rose and Kane have been ruled out of the weekend cup clash with Wycombe, though Mauricio Pochettino remains hopeful that both will be available for Tuesday’s trip to Wearside.

Their next four home matches see them entertain ‘Boro, Stoke, Everton and Southampton, and while there is real plum fixture following the match-up against Aitor Karanka’s side, Spurs have to be backed to deliver – they boast a formidable record at the Lane and are the only side yet to taste defeat in front of their own fans.

Swansea City
It’s the Welsh side’s next four home matches (SOT, LEI, BUR, MID) that have caught our eye, while the Swans could also be unaffected by the Gameweek 28 blanks, given that Hull City need to progress past Fulham and a potential fifth round opponent to bring about a postponement.

All four of those teams visiting the Liberty Stadium have had their struggles away from home of late, so attackers such as Gylfi Sigurdsson and Fernando Llorente could offer solid value over the next month or so.

There is a downside, though, with away trips to Man City, and more so Chelsea, in the next four perhaps unlikely to yield goals.

Tom Carroll could also be seen as a midfield enabler priced at just 4.2 in FPL for those looking to switch back to a 3-4-3, but it’s unlikely we’ll be rushing to invest in the defence until we see some improvement in that area, after shipping six goals in their last two matches.

Manchester United
There is a major caveat for United’s inclusion here: they seem likely to face blanks in both Gameweeks 26 and 28.

Jose Mourinho’s side are firm favourites to progress to the EFL Cup final given their 2-0 lead over Hull City ahead of tomorrow night’s semi-final second leg, so their Gameweek 26 clash against Manchester City could be moved out of that Gameweek.

United face Wigan Athletic in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday, so should they also progress past the fifth round, the Gameweek 28 match away to Southampton will also need to be rescheduled.

But despite those factors, United still face hugely appealing home fixtures against Hull City , Watford and Bournemouth in the next five, with goals expected for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, while Paul Pogba or Henrikh Mkhitaryan could emerge as midfield supplements to the big Swede.

At the back, Phil Jones could be worth a look given the high probability of clean sheets in those matches, with Antonio Valencia’s raids down the right worth monitoring.

But bearing in mind that United will, in all likelihood, have to negotiate those blanks, many will be deterred from going all-in with Mourinho’s regulars in order to negotiate Gameweeks 26 and 28.

    Fpl site has an article out today explaining the bonus system!
    they must be sick & tired of getting tweets complaining about lost bonus points.....although they don't help themselves tweeting the provisional ones just after a game is finished

    Forget what I said earlier, I'm keeping Pogba.

      Did that event actually alter your thinking?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yes. Not much because of Pogba but more because of the defending. Hull will have a horrible 90 mins at OT with Mkhi and possibly Martial back in the team.

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years

          If you have both Sanchez and a Spurs mid then I would keep for Hull at home but if it was to get one of them, I'd shift.

            Alexis - Eriksen - Pog - Stan (Roon)
            Ibra - Giro - Carroll

            I've got 4 attacking blankers for GW26 so need to start getting rid. Dilemma as both United and Arsenal have a plum fixture coming up.

              So do most people. Not carving up my team for one rubbish GW. I'll be happy with 6-7 players

              With it being Hull I'd keep and save since you have Sanchez and Eriksen 🙂

              Costa instead of Carroll and that's my front 8. Also have £2.2m ITB which makes me wonder where your funds are haha.

                I've got 3m ITB + 1m extra in defence. The difference is you WC'd GW4 whilst I waited to GW19. More value WC'ing early it seems.

    Excellent from Huddlestone. Could have poked it out for a corner, but got himself a great assist.

            Well yeah, that's fair enough. I'm just glad it's actually happening as he could be great value swinging crosses into Carroll and Antonio.

      Can see how their key players could be struggling to get up for it in all fairness. Getting over the line is all that matters.

    I feel I'm gtg this week & can roll my ft. Even if Rose doesn't play I have Defoe first sub. 1ft & 2.5itb.

    Foster
    Alonso, Rose, Coleman, Jones
    Sanchez (c), Alli, Phillips, Stanislas
    Ibra, Giroud

    Valdes, Defoe, Lallana, Pieters

    Thoughts & thanks.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Looks good but WBA are rubbish on the road and Boro are solid at home so don't understand keeper selection

      1. white lightning
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers. Last week v West Ham I read that Midd only had 3 shots on target & conceded 3 goals. Also with Chambers out their defense is weaker. That's why I opted for Foster.

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          Yeah it's a 50/50

    2. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I'd play Defoe over Jones, with some of Spurs defensive issues (if they remain issues by the time the game kicks off), there is every chance he will score against his old side. If you are really opposed to playing Defoe, play Lallana.

      1. white lightning
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah after watching MU v Hull this morning NZ time I thought MU were pretty ordinary. It looked like Mu were coasting in this game as they thought there was no pressure as they were no chance of not progressing. They play Hull again at home but I expect a much better performance & see a cs v Hull. It's tough leaving Defoe out but I think Jones has a better chance of a cs than Defoe has of scoring. I wouldn't play Lallana v Chelsea & also Liverpool aren't in good form.

      Distinctly average and people will say that he needs more time to settle in which is a load of sheeeet

        He has not been worth 90M by any means, but he's certainly not a 'distinctly average' player.

      Far from an FPL asset.

    Great goal.

  19. Syd.

    Hull goal 2-1

    Hull goal!
    Come on, I want extra time

    1. Konig Luther
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      that is impossible, no?

      1. InSaneMan-e
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Nah, away goals only count after Extra time in this tournament

        1. Konig Luther
          • 11 Years

          ah.. thanks

    Sturridge would miss that

    Please Hull come on..1 more

    LOL @ Ibra captainers

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No ways
      A loss here would only encourage Utd to want to thrash Hull at OT

    How nailed on is Rojo at left back?

    1. Sweetboi
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He isn't...could also play CB though. Jones and Valencia the most nailed.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Shaw back on the bench, Blind started there vs Stoke. Bailly back to compete for CB too. Not nailed in any way.

    Utd may rue not making one of those dives count in the box earlier

    1. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      The Mata offside goal will see them through

  26. Syd.

    Rojo trying to break legs again

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Nearly on the same level of scum as Herrera!

      1. Syd.
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Herrera is such a dirty little player

        I am surprised more isn't made of it

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          More not made of it because Sky is full of United supporters. Watch the replay of Pogba and Martials first goal for the club...

      2. Jigger & Pony
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Just like Kun 😉

        1. InSaneMan-e
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Kun isnt not usually dirty
          But this season...he's like a man possessed.

          1. InSaneMan-e
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            *isnt
            not isnt not lol

          2. Jigger & Pony
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Well he did try and hurt two players...

        2. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Not a City fan but Kun is when not getting his way. Herrera is just one in general.

          1. InSaneMan-e
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Why would a 'non city fan' have Kun as his profile picture
            you're probably right though

            1. Rainer
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              FPL page. Kun in FPL... (well not this season).

                7 years, 4 months ago

                Haha, tell me about it.
                Still have him, and stubbornly wont get rid.

    Looking for opinions on formation and who should start with this team. Having difficulty deciding on 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 but thinking of benching Brunt since he usually only scores at home. Thoughts?:

    Heaton, Grant
    Azpi, Walker, Baines, Brunt, Amat
    Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen, Phillips, Stanislaus
    Costa, Ibra, Crouch

    Thanks in advance.

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      You bench Brunt and Crouch this week for reasons stated. Brunt has 8 points in last 6 away games but 52pts in last 6 home. Incredible but true

      1. The Velvet Neutral Ground
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks a lot.

    2. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      I'm benching Alonso and playing Brunt

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Benching Alonso against Liverpool or anyone is insane. I hope he scores another brace. You deserve to get punished

      2. The Velvet Neutral Ground
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Bold. What's your reasoning? Gut feeling?

    3. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Middlesbrough without Chambers might be a good chance for WBA to do well (not that he's a great player or anything, but their good defensive displays have come with him in the mix). It could be a chance for Brunt to do well in an away game.

      I'd bench Grant, Amat, Stanislaus, Crouch

      1. The Velvet Neutral Ground
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Appreciated. Not sure Chambers' role has been THAT vital, but noted.

    Here comes the clown

    1. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Claudio Bravo?

    2. Boydinho
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Moureen?

    3. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      That clown is the reason Utd are ahead though

    4. Alexis Nonsense
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Fellaini i guess
