Gameweek 26 rolls on with an “unfashionable” evening encounter that pairs Watford with West Ham at Vicarage Road.

From a Fantasy perspective, this serves as a scouting mission of the Hammers assets ahead of potential investment for the Gameweek 28 blanks.

Slaven Bilic’s side are just one of eight teams that are currently guaranteed to play over that weekend and, as such, are elevated in our thinking ahead of this encounter.

Andy Carroll is again an absentee as he continues to struggle with a groin complaint, leaving Michail Antonio to lead the attack for the visitors. He’ll be under the microscope, along with Robert Snodgrass who tucks into the number 10 role against the Hornets.

For the home side, Fantasy interest is limited given their forthcoming blank, although promising fixtures to follow has us monitoring the continued form of Troy Deeney and M’Baye Niang.

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

    Kane or Costa?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Costa more consistent, Kane more explosive, up to you really.

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Kane

  2. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    It's a draw

  3. Rossamous
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Success... Failure

  4. My name is an echo
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    When is the potential City DGW happening - next GW or one after and when will it be confirmed?

    1. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      GW28 fixtures.. pathetically little 🙁

    2. Rossamous
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Confirmed after the FA cup replay

    3. TorresMagic™

      GW27, know on Wednesday.

      1. My name is an echo
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks so could be next week and I shouldnt make any transfers now so

    4. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Gw27 dgw for man city

  5. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Success! But no fist pump.

  6. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Unsuccessful attempt to make contact with the ball from Success.

  7. Jay_

      Deeney is one ugly bugger

      1. Deeney-is-a-god
        • 9 Years

        Watch your mouth son

        1. Jay_
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Looking marvellously symmetrical in your grav

      2. Woeisme
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Another solid point from Holebass

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

          Played Fletcher ahead of him as Phillips didn't play.

        2. Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          They are really starting to add up!

        3. trinzoo
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Close to 8 though... 😉

        4. suddenorgan
          • 15 Years

          12th booking of the season, knew I could rely on him

      3. Hect.OR 98th
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Another mediocre week. Not losing ground to ML leader or in overall rank, not gaining it either. Never had such a stagnant period in FPL in seven years of playing. I think I've been between 50-100k since November.

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

          Cheer up I'm 350k up from 2 million!

          1. Hect.OR 98th
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I'm not down about it, just puzzled as to how to make a breakthrough. Every time I think I've got the team to make a jump, something happens to negate the advantage I thought I had.

            1. ZeBestee
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              have Mcauley and Goalman, you will climb the beautiful ladder

              1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers

                9 years, 1 month ago

                1:30 is how I climb the ladder

        Bilic to whiney imo. Always on the fourth official to tell him the throw-in was incorrectly given. Move on!

        1. Jay_
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Agreed. Sad state of affairs in general that a 4th official has to be there like a primary school teacher.

        2. Mark-O
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Next week M(c)Auley

          1. We Will Klopp you
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            No Aguero?

        3. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Say what you like about Holebas but at least he's consistent, 1 pointers every game and a customary yellow card.

          1. Mark-O
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            He's gonna hit the 20 yellows by the end of the season

        4. camarozz
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Thats just a disastrous.
          No show from Philips
          Antonio banned.
          Ducking great.

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

            Got an assist at least.

            1. Mark-O
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              And a red and ends at 2 points

              From good to bad to neutral

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

                Could be -1

                1. Mark-O
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  That's for poor Barnes

          2. THFC4LIFE
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Same

        5. b✪mber
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Road to Aguero (only if City play a DGW):

          a) Ibra + Antonio > Kun + Carroll
          b) Ibra + Mirallas > Kun + Carroll

          (-4)

          1. Lucky_Z
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            B - Antonio should start in GW28 at least

          2. bitm2007
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Ibra's got BOU in GW27, I'd find another way if possible.

        6. Rossamous
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          How long are bans from second yellow red cards?

          1. THFC4LIFE
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            1 game

          2. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            One game

          3. Numb
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            1 match

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

            Cheers. Not too bad for those who have him for GW28 then

          5. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            1 game innit?

        7. Lucky_Z
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Alli and Lukaku to Sane and Aguero for -4 is OK after DGW confirmed?

          0.1 short from Sterling

          Bringing back Lukaku in GW28

          Jalupovic Heaton
          Coleman Baines Holebas Alonso McAuley
          Mane Coutinho Siggy Phillips Alli
          Ibra Lukaku Anichebe

          1FT, 1.9ITB

          1. Rossamous
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I don't like the move personally. Don't think Aguero in is worth 8 points from the hits to bring him in and back out again

            1. Lucky_Z
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Aguero to Lukaku will be FT in GW28 though

        8. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Deeney is going to get 3 baps even though he only has 26 bps and 25 of them were for his penalty 🙄

          1. Je suis le chat
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Deeneys head is shaped like a bap!

          2. TorresMagic™

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            24 for goal

          3. Pasqualinho
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Penalties were worth less in the previous BPS system. I think that was one of the few things they got right.

        9. Je suis le chat
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Its the little things in life. Thanks for the yellow and conceding Cholebas.

        10. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Oh, tough luck on the Antonio red card. Read the goal description but then saw his points and somehow believed that FPL denied him an assist. Later realized he got sent off.

        11. Sonic Huth
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Forward line as of now :

            Kane to Kun for gw 27 if dgw confirmed hold ibra and kaku

        12. Garlana
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Ayew possibly on the radar for anyone gw 28?

          1. Je suis le chat
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Big time, may get after the Che game.

          2. suddenorgan
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            if he starts next week perhaps

        13. Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Brunt assist should be added soon.

          1. Mark-O
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Should be vs must be

            1. Numb
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              In the next hour but can't imagine it will take that long

                • 11 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Can't tell if this is a joke because of last game week?

                Or did he not get given another one this week?

        14. camarozz
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I need 50 points from mane and Alli to save my gw.

          Philips and Antonio are getting the boot from my team .

            Both will smash GW28.

            Brunt and McAuley exchange points on a regular basis. always going back and forth, so just hold.

            However Coleman is destroying Baines.

          2 things.

          Seamus Coleman is a legend.
          Antonio is a mug.

          Enjoy your evenings.
