After goals from Pedro and Robbie Brady saw the spoils shared at Turf Moor, we make our way to the Liberty as Swansea seek to build momentum under Paul Clement.

Gylfi Sigurdsson is the focal point in the 4pm kick-off, with the playmaker looking to score for the fourth successive Gameweek, having netted against Liverpool, Southampton and Man City in each of his previous league outings.

With a pair of assists also accrued over the last five, the Icelandic international was the most transferred in player for Gameweek 25, with 229,000+ new owners snapping up his services.

Given that the hosts are currently one of just six sides set to play in both Gameweek 26 and 28, the likes of Fernando Llorente and Alfie Mawson could also play their way into our short-term plans.

Leicester, meanwhile, have struggled for form at either end of the pitch. With one goal in seven and a single clean sheet away from home all season, Claudio Ranieri’s men have done little to persuade us they are worthy of investment right now.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    A 37 year old centre back has scored the same amount of league goals as Jamie Vardy this season

      Yes, no need for a manager to drop a goalscoring defender

    4. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years

      Mawson and Fernandez seems to be Clements CB pairing of choice

    5. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      How dare you go against the grain and not say Hull?

      Nah TBH I don't trust em, not with FlappyHandski in goal.

      Spurs and Hull have real nice fixtures til the end of the season...might run them close

        Sputs have Europa league fa cup in between. Useless to have them in my opinion..

      'Early transfer' brigade bringing in the likes of Gabbiadini will panic when they only have 2fts left to prepare for it!

    1. Epic Fail

      Sunderland, Palace, Hull.

      1. Chenku╰☆╮

        Sunderland palace Middleborough/Leicester imo.

      2. Qubit
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I think Hull have a decent chance to survive. Leicester are in free fall.

  17. Sanguinista
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Are Liverpool sure to play GW26? I read something about a Leicester replay that could affect their EPL tie with Pool. Thinking of getting in Mane today & want to be sure he has a game next gameweek.

      1. Chenku╰☆╮

        Dam just did Alli to mane.. king to come on then..

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

      Yeah it might be postponed as it will be hard to pre-pone a game on such short notice.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Leicester vs Liverpool is scheduled for a Monday night anyway

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

        That's kind of the problem.

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hold out for the minute and keep an eye on it, could get messy.

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Holding out means massive price swings

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Rather lose 0.2 than bring in a blanker.

          1. Chenku╰☆╮
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            The mane price bracket is awkward.. if you have a buffer yes hold out.. anyway I see lei getting beaten in fa cup.. sacrificing more like so they look at the league from now on.

            1. Epic Fail
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Leicester are so bad they probably can't even get that right. I actually think a draw is likely.

            2. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
              • 10 Years

              Okay

    4. Sanguinista
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks everyone, I think it makes sense to wait even though Mane might go up by 0.2 before the FA cup games.

  18. hjalmarekdal

    Hi lads. Already done 1 transfer, Ibra to Costa. I'm planning on keeping Alexis on the bench.

    My current team:

    Jakupovic
    Baines - Walker - Evans
    Eriksen - Phillips - Mirallas - De Roon
    Costa - Kane - Lukaku
    (Foster, Amat, Yoshida, Alexis)

    I would really like to get rid of Mirallas, and if I sell him I have 8.2m itb. Who to transfer in in that case? (I have one more free transfer)
    I'm considering Snoddy, Siggy, Walcott, Barkley, Coutinho???

    1. leocarter27
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Siggy

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mirallas to Siggy a no-brainer

  19. St. Joseph
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A) Lanzini

    Or

    B) Antonio

    1. Deus
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Antonio just an awesome pick fot me 2 2 2
      Same genius as Phillips
      Bloody blanks

  20. Deus

    Afternoon all. Early opinions on this please?

    Who to give the armband to next gw.

    Costa (Swa H)
    Lukaku (Sun H)

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Got to be the one who can get double figures!

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      What's your initial thought?

      1. leocarter27
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Costa atm. His record v swans is very good. But any Chelsea player can score. Lukaku seems to be the main source of goals for everton.

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Costa is 'safe' for points. Should at least get something. Won't be massive though.

          Lukaku likely to be anywhere from a blank to a haul.

    3. Rian23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      lukaku

    4. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lukman

    5. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku

  23. Jay_
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Is there a possibility that after the cup ties and draw next week, that we'll know who highly likely has a dgw 34? For instance, Burnley and United both progressing as expected and then United drawing Burnley at home in the quarters, would likely mean Liverpool having a dgw34 with homes v Burnley and Palace? Or will it still all be up in the air?

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        assuming if Utd and Spurs both reach the Europa league semi-finals this reducing the dates available for them to play any rescheduled matches

        1. Jay_
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Didn't know that affects things too. Thanks.

        9 years, 1 month ago

        any reason to wait to do sanchez>mane at the end of the week?

        I want to do it now before price drop

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          No

          Liverpool have no games

          1. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Might have no games this coming GW either.

        2. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Liverpool could be blanking in GW26 if Leicester draw in the cup.

      7. K-win
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        So with 4 teams maybe having double double GWs, and many teams having double GWs when do you think is the best time to use the wildcard?

        I'm thinking GW30 as many will have lots of Everton and Brom players (fixtures turn) and possibly no Sanchez.

        1. cjw176
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Thats what I plan to do. Load up for gw28 then wildcard 29 or 30

      8. Judas
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        This Mawson kid keep cropping up, that's afew goals now?

        Are people looking at Swans defence with great fixtures after next week (BUR, hul, bou, MID)

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          He is in after chelsea

        2. Jay_
            9 years, 1 month ago

            They've got the easiest run in of all 20 teams until gw38 (on paper).

          • Rainer
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            If close to only the 3 confirmed games for 28 are set to happen then he'll be in for then.
