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

    Is Martina likely to keep his place at RB?

    Need to downgrade PVA to a 4.5 to free up some cash, happy for it to be a defender I can bench next GW but would then want them starting the next few..

    Martina (Or Holgate) look perfect but too risky with rotation?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Martina and holgate is a minefield

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      They will be rotated sadly

    3. TheTwelfthMan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Anything but nailed.

    4. BigBarn
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      I'd say that yesterday was an extremely good day for Mason Holgate. Still some risk of rotation theoretically but Martina was shocking yesterday and Mason has done little wrong when given time.

    Yoshida to Bavies for a -4?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Yes

    2. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Yes

  3. Numb
    • 11 Years

    How was Carroll today?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      One of the better swans players

    2. KUNingas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Very good. Wont be dropped

    3. KingNidge
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Brace of points

    4. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Good but Swansea are awful offensively

    5. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Did well trying to link up with Swansea forwards... if that's what you'd call them!

    Interesting how Newcastle are playing better without Shelvey in the team.

    1. Jafooli

      Baldist

    2. dz1984
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      he's one of our better players but he's too much of a liability

    3. Hooky
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      He's nothing without his minions

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Merino seems calmer and hopefully more consistent, but needs to watch that he doesn't get a reputation for diving.

  5. Stats Don\'t Lie

    Sorry...bottomed....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

    1. TheTwelfthMan
      • 9 Years

      I know he's not flavour of the week, but I prefer Vokes to Wood. On pens too.

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 hours ago

        He's only played an hour for the last 2 weeks.

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Seem decent enough moves to me

  8. Sánchez
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 hours ago

    Biggest regret so far?

    Only regret I really have is getting PVA

    1. Oven Glover
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Alonso captain gw1

      1. Sánchez
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 hours ago

        Oh. That's right. I done that too 😆

        I just meant player wise. Alonso was fine gw2 the let me get Kane in

        1. Oven Glover
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 hours ago

          Oh! My second regret, selling Alonso ahead of gw2 🙁

          1. Oven Glover
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 7 hours ago

            Otherwise Wijnaldum. Last game for him against Burnley.

          2. Sánchez
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 7 hours ago

            Haha thats a sickener

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 hours ago

          KDB and Redmond when I should have done Mkhitaryah and Salah. Sorted now lol

      2. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 9 Years

        Snap!

    2. Lone Wolf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      sold Jesus before this gw but got Morata so probably good long term

      1. Sánchez
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 hours ago

        Good going if that's the main regret. Morata will do well

    3. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Going 3 big hitters upfront and my midfield gambles not paying off (ince n ritchie)

    4. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Only one. Playing Carroll instead of Clark today.

    5. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Willian

      1. Sánchez
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 hours ago

        Willian made sense short term
        Was always going to be dropped
        Nothing too bad there imo

    6. GoonerByron
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Same as you, getting PVA and then even still sticking with him on WC!

      1. Sánchez
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 hours ago

        Why on earth did you keep him?

    7. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Too many already. Mane in for a hit this week would have to be up there. As well as starting with zaha and dann

  9. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 hours ago

    Two Burnley keepers injured on the same day, not ideal.

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Henderson (c)

    2. Sánchez
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Mane caught him with studs

  10. LewanGOALski
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 7 hours ago

    Should I WC?
    If not, what transfers should I be looking at? I am not rulling out the hit.

    DDG - Elliot
    Bertrand - Stephens - Daniels - Suttner - Long
    Eriksen - Ramsey - Willian - Fraser - TCarroll
    Kane - Lukaku - Firmino

    2 FTs
    bank: 0.5 mln

    thx!

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Not sure it needs a WC. Something similar to me. Couple of weeks of 4 point hits could sort that lot

    2. FantasyNik123
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Id get Stephens, willian and fraser out.

    3. FantasyNik123
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Fraser and Willian to Chalobah and Pogba/Mkhi. You can rotate Chalobah and TC as your 4th mid.

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Stephens Willian Fraser your issues. Keep Willian as may play league game and suggest

      Stephens to Davies
      Fraser to Gross

      1. LewanGOALski

        1. Taking the Mkhitaryan

      B, Welbeck not nailed

  13. KUNingas

    So gutted about Fab. On 7 with 3 baps looking good. Painful

  15. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 hours ago

    I have two questions, each one needing a one word response 🙂

    A) Is it worth having Lukaku AND Kane if you're only captaining one of them?

    B) Who is the best max 5.5 mid for the best few weeks?

    Thanks all.

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Yes
      I think brady

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Yes,Brady

    3. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Surprised at the lack of Groß or that Stoke guy

      Thanks all

    4. Hooky
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Yes
      Gross if just for 2 fixtures

      1. Over Midwicket
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 hours ago

        Already have Groß

    5. Fingerspitzengefühl
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      A) If you're talking about a whole season owning both and only capping one of them, then no. I own both and have only used them as my captains thus far, two good picks for the armband.

      B) Tough choice, I've got Mooy, but for 5.5 max Brady is an okay shout with great stats.

      1. Over Midwicket
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 hours ago

        Brady is looking good but Cho Mo has amazing stats, even when compared to Brady

    6. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      No
      Groß, brady, choupo-moting

    7. BigBarn
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Not just bangwagoning, but Cho-Mo must surely be the best 5.5 option now. Nailed, mid-table team and PLAYS UP FRONT. I can't talk myself out of this being a no-brainer.

      1. Over Midwicket
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 hours ago

        Stoke don't score many goals

    8. The Mandalorian

        Whaaa?

  16. FantasyNik123
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 hours ago

    So.. was Kane to Morata and then back to Kane for Morata a good use of your two transfers?

    1. Dr. DOOM
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      No lol

    2. Les Bleus
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      No way.

    3. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      No but when you are chasing you are forced to try something a bit different

      1. Les Bleus
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 hours ago

        In GW4?

  17. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 hours ago

    Silva and Mbemba out , Moting and Mendy in

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      I like

  18. wbm
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 hours ago

    Foster / Elliot
    Kolasinac / Stephens / TAA / Suttner / Long
    Alli / Salah / Pogba / Mooy / Carroll
    Kane / Lukaku / JRod

    0.4 ITB - 1FT

    Really want to get Bavies in and Stephens needs to go I guess. But I have to downgrade Mooy or JRod for that. Any ideas?

    I have wildcard left so I'm fine with leaving the defense a bit uncertain until then as long as I get 3 playing defenders.

  19. Goonermeister
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 hours ago

    Whats the point of holding off a WC if you know what team you want already?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      You'll want a different team next GW.

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 hours ago

        This and this again. You will change your mind based on who gets a brace next week

        1. Goonermeister
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 hours ago

          But that could be a weekly occurance. And you and up never wildcarding?

    2. Les Bleus
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      Ask those who WC'ed last week.

  20. AnfieldLad
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 hours ago

    Should I wildcard?

    Foster, Elliot
    Jones, Dawson, Daniels, Stephens, Mbemba
    Mane, Alli, Pogba, Atsu, Carroll
    Lukaku, Kane, Abraham

    1FT 1.4ITB

    Maybe just Mane + Stephens -> Salah + Davies (-4pts) ?

  21. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 hours ago

    Oh I do like the CL fantasy game real pitch look. They should have gone a step further and maybe the players like little Subbuteo players.....looks kinda groovy.

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      But have given up.....interface too clunky and impossible to choose a decent side after you put Ronaldo, Messi & Neymar in.

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 9 Years

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 hours ago

      57pts for me then. Only mistake was playing Carroll instead of Clark.

  23. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 hours ago

    Having an absolute torrid season, used my WC and used to own Gross, KDB, Ritchie and Kane but I weirdly still feel optimistic and trying to enjoy the game a bit more now without worrying about ownership of others too much.
