After Burnley’s Chris Wood condemned Crystal Palace to a fourth successive loss, we turn to the Liberty Stadium in Sunday’s second, and final, fixture at 4pm.

Having grabbed their first win of the season in the previous round of fixtures, Swansea now have the chance to play their way into our plans ahead of an outstanding upcoming home schedule.

From Gameweek 6 onwards, Paul Clement’s side entertain Watford, Huddersfield, Leicester, Brighton, Bournemouth and West Brom in their subsequent six matches at the Liberty.

With that in mind, Tammy Abraham- at just 5.5 – has the chance to emerge as a valid option for our three-man frontlines.

After opening his account for the season at Selhurst Park, the on-loan striker grabbed a goal and assist for England U21s over the recent international break. He’s partnered by Jordan Ayew, with Wilfried Bony on the hosts’ bench.

The Swans’ new arrival Renato Sanches is fast-tracked into the starting XI after joining on loan from Bayern Munich on transfer deadline day. Over 116,000 Fantasy Premier League managers acquired the Portuguese international ahead of Gameweek 4.

Similar to their hosts, Newcastle are also braced for a strong run of matches in front of their own fans – five of their next six home matches sees Stoke, Palace, Bournemouth, Watford and Leicester visit St James’ Park.

New boy Joselu leads the line again after scoring on his first start in the 3-0 win over West Ham last time around.

At 5.5, he could rival Abraham in the budget bracket up front, though Christian Atsu’s prospects in midfield are dealt a blow as he drops to the visitors’ bench.

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

      9 years, 1 month ago

      Probably

      1. Sánchez
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Probably? This guys being touted as essential. I need a hard yes or no TM.

    2. Spokey
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I wish I knew. Have the founds to do PVA to Bavies today.

    3. Balls of Steel
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I see no reason why not..he's in fantastic format at the moment. Even with Rose back I can't see how Poch would drop him.

  2. FPL ZB

    9 years, 1 month ago

    I have Tadic and Atsu and a bit in the bank. Worth waiting til after CL before thinking of options? Don't think either are near a drop?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Take a few days off. Cuts down on chance of a knee jerk too

  3. Hardly Athletic
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Calvert-Lewin > Kane
    Mane > Ritchie

    Worth a 4 point hit?

    1. tafrère
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes.

    2. John Stones
      9 years, 1 month ago

      lol no brainer ..
      but how on earth can you get Kane in place of Calvert Lewin by just downgrading Mane to Ritchie lol .

      1. Hardly Athletic
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I've got 4.3 in the bank. I replaced Kane with Firmino in GW4.

    3. Balls of Steel
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kane fixtures look great so therefore yes

  4. Dynamic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Foster Elliot
    Jones Stephens Mee Suttner Long
    Salah Mkhi Alli Willian Carroll
    Lukaku Firmino Chicarito
    1FT, 2.9m ITB

    Problems
    - Stephens likely to be dropped soon
    - Willian already dropped
    - No Kane/Morata

    Should I wildcard?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I would.

    2. tafrère
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Downgrade Willian and upgrade Chicharito to Morata.

      WC if you absolutely want Kane.

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

        Chicarito -> Morata leaves 6.9m for a Willian replacement.

        Not many options at that price.

    3. fishnil
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Willian + chicha -> T Carroll + Kane. Does it work?

      1. fishnil
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry you have Carroll, Chalobah?

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

          Yes, just about. Leaves 0.1m ITB.

  5. eamonhegg
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed! DAVIES IN! GTG

    Foster
    Jones-Davies-kol-Dawson
    Mhik-Astu-D Silva
    Kane-lukaku-Firmino

    Eliot-Willian-mee-Carroll

    -4 for Willian out? Or keep as is? Thanks

    1. TorresMagic™

      See how teams lineup midweek.

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Midweek games.
      As I just said to you
      Cool it

    3. eamonhegg
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers! Will take the advise

  6. Speédy
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Salah substitution was tactical?

    1. Fernando Torres
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. Goonermeister
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Get rid

  7. stat
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Worth spending an extra 0.1m to bring in Clark rather than Lejeune?

    1. tafrère
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lascelles may have just won his place so yeah, Lejeune is far from nailed right now.

      1. stat
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers.

        Foster / Elliot
        Bertrand / Kolasinac / Dann / Mee / Long
        Richarlison / Mkhi / Eriksen / Ritchie / Carroll
        Firmino / Kane / Lukaku

        2 FT. Does Dann -> Clark look good? Dann could very well score points at home to Southampton but I'm planning to replace him after that anyway and if I don't use a transfer this week it will go to waste.

    2. Goonermeister
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Elliott is enough

      1. stat
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Burnley and Newcastle rotate well defensively. I've got two playing goalies so I don't necessarily have to double up on Newcastle defensive players every week.

        1. william prunier
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Stoke & Burnley rotate even better, wimmer is your man

          1. stat
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Their rotation is amazing but Wimmer isn't necessarily nailed on when Shawcross is back. I think it's between Wimmer and Martins Indi for that 3rd CB spot.

  8. laplana
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Prices rising far too slow this year, totally ruining the game.

    1. Football Rambler
      9 years, 1 month ago

      How is that possibly ruining the game?

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same for everyone

    3. TorresMagic™

      Stock market is suffering.

    4. el polako
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Last year most were not happy about quick rises/drops.
      Just cant please everyone.

    5. laplana
      9 years, 1 month ago

      My tactic is to build team value even at the expense of hits, it's really bothering me everyone has the same team now.

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

        Imagine the points you are saving.

      2. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I don't get that game at all...

    6. william prunier
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I agree, casuals/steady Eddie's have far too long to act/gamble

  9. Tabbara
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Davies price seems to increase today
    Do i get him or wait (take the price increase) for dortmund match?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If you can afford to wait then wait. He might break his leg

    2. tafrère
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Davies price won't increase until thursday night lol. FPL 2k18.

  10. Bruno Bruno!!
    9 years, 1 month ago

    this GW has gotten my season back on track, im still just outside top 1 million but now I feel with 2 or 3 transfers my team will be set to push on

  11. _figu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Foster - Elliot
    Alonso - Davies - Bertrand - YOSHIDA - 4.0
    Eriksen - Pogba - Phillips - Atsu - Carroll
    Kane - Lukaku - Chica

    .4 ITB, 1 FT

    Save FT? Or Yoshida to Jones or something else.

    1. John Stones
      9 years, 1 month ago

      good team .
      save for now

  12. Red Dagger ✪

    What to do with Mane..?

    1. 328345
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I was thinking straight swap to Ali as he's banned from champs league?
      However I also have Atsu. Will he play next week?
      Downgrade mane and upgrade atsu?

  13. Galza
    9 years, 1 month ago

    My points this week are...

    2
    1 1 1
    2 1 1 2
    2 26 2

    Praise the fpl gods for Kane..! 🙂

    1. laplana
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Even without Kane that's actually decent.

      1. Galza
        9 years, 1 month ago

        What a week...
        Brush ourselves off and pray for better next time.. 🙂

  14. 328345
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ali banned from champs league so Mane-Ali straight swap can go ahead tonight before any price rises/falls.
    No money itb. Other midfield is mhiki pogba atsu TC.

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

      Do it

  15. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Best 4.5 keeper?

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

      I have Foster/Elliot combo until I WC on 2nd int break. Might go Elliot and another 4.0 for a while. Struggling to find a better value with any of the 4.5 keepers

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Fab

  16. Goonermeister
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Joselu or Abraham?

    Joselu underlying stats show 9 attempts on target. And 8 in the box.
    Goals imminent.

    Abraham less so, but marginally better fixtures. Not an overly attacking side.

    1. tafrère
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Abraham won't play in the lone striker role if Bony starts.

  17. Athletic Nasherbo
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Rate this Wildcard team?

    Fabianski Elliot
    Mendy Bailly Davies Simpson Femenia
    Alli Salah Mkhitaryan Cho-Moting T.Carroll
    Kane Morata Hemed

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Points chasing on a grand scale

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        9 years, 1 month ago

        What do you mean ?

        1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          9 years, 1 month ago

          You have picked players that did well this week or last week. Better off looking long term. Hemed and Choppy will disappoint
          Femenia was taken off injured so needs monitoring

    2. Je suis le chat
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don',t rate any team without Eriksen.

  18. Sánchez
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Willian owners seem to be panic selling.
    Assuming you got him gw1, the price fall is meaningless still.
    You get 7.0 on him if you sell him now or later in the week anyway

    1. diesel001
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Agree. I can afford to wait now

  19. Emiliano Sala
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Should I wait for friday to do willian --> salah or do it now ?
    Can't wait

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

      Salah could get injured or other players in your team/Chelsea.

    2. Sánchez
      9 years, 1 month ago

      See above

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wait. Lots of midweek games

  20. Goonermeister
    9 years, 1 month ago

    PVA will score good points they said. He will secure attacking returns they said

    1. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Just sold him 2 min ago. Had him since the start.

      1. Spokey
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Who did you get in? Im thinking of Bavies.

    2. Sánchez
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I know. Scoutcast gw1 talked me into it

      1. Jafooli
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Same, transferred out GW2 😀

    3. Feloh
      9 years, 1 month ago

      very well said

    4. Numb
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ultimately it's your team, make your own decisions, they said

    5. TheTwelfthMan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      >Palace defender
      >5.5m

    6. EmreCan Hustle
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Didn't play. Trippier auto sub 😎

  21. Football Rambler
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Where would you free up £0.2m in budget from here to change Trippier to Davies?

    Foster Elliot
    Alonso trippier Jone Zanka Mbemba
    Eriksen Mkhi Ramsey Mooy Carroll
    Kane Lukaku Hernandez

    Only place I can see that makes sense is Mooy > Gross. Not convinced by that move though really!

    1. Balls of Steel
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Downgrade Ramsey!

  22. Oven Glover
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I've found the cure for my jerking knees this season 🙂 Money in the bank seems to do the trick...

  23. Fernando Torres
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Is it worth getting rid of Lukaku?

    1. Football Rambler
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't. Especially not before he faces his old club

    2. dz1984
      9 years, 1 month ago

      i just have...got in Kane and switched Mane to Pogba (doubling up on Pog / Mkhi)

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Depends who for

    4. TheTwelfthMan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku has 4 in 4, he's in 58% of teams, it's madness even considering getting rid of him.

    5. Kun Tozser
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Never had him

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        9 years, 1 month ago

        And your rank Kun?

  24. dz1984
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Is there a better £4.5m midfield option than Carroll?

    1. TheTwelfthMan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, Carroll could be in and out of the side in the long term. Mesa, Clucas, Sanches all options for Swans.

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

      Chalobah

    3. Spokey
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Carroll looked decent today. I wouldnt sell.

  25. tafrère
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Renato Sanches was so awfull today ! Move forward (and Fer playing more deep) in 2nd half but did'nt change anything.

    1. Balls of Steel
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Agree.. Looks like a man that has been on the beer for the last month

  26. No_Mo_Salah?
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A. Kane + Kola or B. Lukaku + Alonso? Cheers

    1. fishnil

      A

    1. Flynny

  30. Flynny
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Looking at Stephen and gabbi to bavies and wood for a hit.

    Is that a good move? And is it worth doing tonight before bavies rises or wait?...i generally take the risk at this time of the season..

    1ft..0.4itb
