After Gabriel Jesus downed Swansea with a double at the Etihad, we make our way to the King Power as Leicester City entertain Manchester United in the final fixture of Gameweek 24.

Despite back-to-back blanks, Zlatan Ibrahimovic was once again the most captained player for this round of matches – he was handed the armband by 20.5% of Fantasy Premier League managers.

The likes of Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan could emerge as differentials against a defence that’s conceded at least twice in five of their last six home matches.

With a blank Gameweek 26 and potential blank in Gameweek 28, though, Jose Mourinho’s men are far from our short-term plans right now.

Leicester’s unconvincing form at both ends of the pitch bodes well for the Red Devils – with a single goal scored in the last six Gameweeks, those holding the likes of David de Gea and Antonio Valencia will be optimistic of a clean sheet.

    Good move to do Coutinho to Siggy tonight, to avoid Siggy potential price rise?

      ye

    2. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years

      Probably.

    3. MTPockets
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Just did that with Lallana

    4. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years

    Captain next week? Was pretty certain on Jesus vs Bournemouth's defence but siggy... Anyway

    A) Jesus
    B) Siggy

        Thanks, Jesus it is then

  3. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years

    Sánchez or Alli > Hazard?

    1. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Nope

    2. Kane-harry Island
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Nope. At least not yet

    3. Jersey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      no

  4. ZakAFC_
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Any ideas for this team?

    Heaton
    Alonso Coleman Brunt
    Sanchez Alli Eriksen Phillips
    Ibra Lukaku Defoe

    Grant Pieters De Roon Kingsley

    1FT, 0.6 ITB

    1. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'm doing Eriksen to Siggy

      1. ZakAFC_
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I was thinking that mate

        1. hannesdela
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Thinking about that exact move too. It's between Eriksen and Sanchez so I think I'll get rid of Eriksen for Siggy and I'll maybe bring in Barkley for De Roon with my second FT.

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I would play Pieters ahead of Phillips personally. Save the FT

  5. Rover
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    All set for next week? Should I swap C and VC?

    Grant
    Alonso / Walker / Coleman
    Sanchez / Siggy (vc) / Phillips / Antonio
    Ibra (c) / Kane / Kaku

    Pickford / Carroll / Friend / Ake
    1.9 ITB / 0FT

  6. Jazz!

    2. b✪mber

          That decision doesn't deserve the autosub. There should a judge who blocks this, like the travel ban in my crazy country.

            Allow me to connect the dots. It was wholly intentional. Too easy to get into people's heads, just like this...

    There is a helicopter on the centre circle at Leicester

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Taking Rooney to China.

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      The owners always do that

      1. Syd.

        Wow just never seen it before

    3. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      As long as the pitch doesn't open up in the style of a Bond villain's lair, there's nothing to worry about 😉

  21. Kimmich
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Stan + Ibra > Siggy + Costa or Jesus?

    1. darthwader
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah siggy has LEI

  22. athreya
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Erikssen to Siggy? I got in Erik for Hazard before Gw23 and really regretting that move. And watching Spurs play looks like Kane and Ali will monopolise chances.So Erik has to live on scraps. Siggy takes care of blanks, is in form and has ok fixtures. Yay or nay?

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Erkison to Alli then?

      1. athreya
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Oh I have Alli already. Should have mentioned that. Was looking to double up on Spurs perhaps was the wrong time.

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      What's your value in both of them?

      1. athreya
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        No gain on Erik. And will lose 0.2 on Alli.

        1. The Count of Monte Cristo
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Eriksen --> Siggy seems the move to make then. It's a tough call though but out of the two it's probably the better IMO. If you wouldn't mind taking a look just below at my transfer predicament, that would be great!

          1. athreya
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Yep will do it mostly but wait for any injury news.thanks.

    3. hannesdela
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Think I will do the same move. If you have Alli, surely one of Alli or Eriksen has to go. Don't know if Eriksen has to be your victim though.

      For me it's either Eriksen or Sanchez and Sanchez has HUL next so I'll probably part ways with Eriksen. It also gives me the funds to bring in Barkley for De Roon so that I can cover for Sanchez' blank in GW 26. Good moves?

      1. athreya
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah sounds good. For most of us gw26 is not an issue. Tripling up on Everton might pay off in gw28.

        1. hannesdela
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah you're right, it's also with GW 28 in mind. GW 26 won't be a problem in any case, but it will feel better to field Barkley instead of just some 4th defender I guess. And for GW 28 I'd have a midfield of Siggy, Barkley, Antonio and Phillips (Sanchez) so hope that pays off 🙂

  23. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Ibrahimovic + Phillips ---> Costa + Sigurdsson worth the 2FT?

    Hazard - Sanchez - Eriksen - Phillips - Stanislas
    Giroud - Ibrahimovic - Anichebe*

    Would've ditched Hazard but after yesterday, his confidence must be sky-high...

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Giroud is actually Lukaku, thankfully! ^^

    2. athreya
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Would hold off on Ibra for Watford. I see that you can't do the Siggy transfer without shifting Ibra. Can't you do any other transfer in defence or get a replacement for Anichebe? How much Itb?

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Apologies - should've put that I have a measly 0.8m ITB

        1. athreya
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Stanislas to snodgrass?

  24. Whats the Huth
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Has everyone got 11 for GW 26?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      26 is easy.

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        You've got 26?! Holy Bajeesus

        1. Pasqualinho
          • 17 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          TM has 2 teams.

      2. Whats the Huth
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Haha. I'm looking at people's comments, looks like there's some struggles

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      It's GW28 where there might be as few as three games where the problem lies

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        YIKES!

    3. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      With proposed transfers, yes, but it's 28 I'm more concerned about.

    4. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I have 13

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        FWIW, I had a professor at my University called Professor Abel.

        1. The Count of Monte Cristo
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Owe a lot to him!

  25. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Should I do Eriksen to Siggy for a hit?

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Not keen

    2. athreya
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Erik, Lallana seem to be the popular transfers out for Siggy.

      1. TaiwanHC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I know. But is it worth it to do it for a -4 hit?

        1. athreya
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          What's your other transfer?

          1. TaiwanHC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Did Rondon-->Carroll yesterday.

            1. athreya
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Then hold on but the problem is Swansea is away to Chelsea in gw26. So if you do bring in Siggy that week prepared for a 2 pointer.

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No, I'm doing it just because I have 2 FT and don't want to waste one since I will bring in Siggy at some point before gw 28.

    4. Jersey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      no

  26. fedolefan
    • 12 Years

    Simple swap of Eriksen ---> Siggy for free?

    Already own Kane

      stoke at home the week after while siggy has chelsea

      i've got the same dilemma and i'm 50/50

      i have both Alli and Eriksen, and i am waiting on Siggy. probably until GW 28

      I'm not keen.

      Same dilemma, but think I will go for it.

    And so Zlatan missed out on the BAPS. What a shame

    Having a hard time choosing between Barkley, Siggy and Antonio. So made this comparison of promising non-blanking mids. Think Barkley edges it for me. Good differential too. Any other candidates?

    Statistical form (last 6 GWs): (Goal attempts/On target/Chances created)

    1 Barkley 17 / 8 / 15
    2 Sigurdsson 17 / 9 / 12
    3 Antonio 14 / 4 / 9
    4 Phillips 14 / 3 / 6

    Fixtures:

    1 Barkley mid - SUN - tot - WBA - HUL (11 FDR)
    2 Sigurdsson LEI - che - BUR - hul - bou (12 FDR)
    3 Antonio WBA - wat - CHE - bou - LEI (13 FDR)
    4 Phillips wha - BOU - CRY - eve - ARS (14 FDR)

      Siggy, Antonio, Barkley, Phillips for me, in that order

      1. hannesdela

        Would it be good to own them all? I already have Antonio and Phillips and I'm thinking about bringing in Siggy and Barkley for Eriksen and De Roon. That way I can bench Sanchez.

      Cheers. This could be useful for me too. I'd make Siggy my priority because Leicester seemed so out of pace today Siggy could have a field day next GW. But I'm actually thinking about doing Eriksen --> Siggy and De Roon --> Barkley with my 2 FTs, you reckon those are good moves?
