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

    Current team is:

    Foster
    Kola Stephens Daniels Lowe
    Eriksen Salah Mkhi Willian
    Kane Lukaku

    Elliott Caroll Quaner Long
    2ft and 0.5 itb

    Is Willian + Long --> Choupo + Bavies a good move?

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

      I like it.

    2. Podge
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

  2. true_Jerry
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Alonso and Gabbia to Bavies and Vardy for a -4?

    would get Alonso back eventually for Bertie, probs after Arsenal Stoke (A) and City

    1. pundit of punts
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes for me

    2. fpltactician
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Prefer Firmino over Vardy

  3. BrockLanders
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Yoshida and Jese to Bavies & Mooy for -4??

    1. chilli con kone
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hmm. Maybe. Just not sure on Mooy.

  4. Ajax Hamsterdam
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Are kane and lukaku now essential ? So hard to have them both without a low cost midfielder or an average third.striker. What are your thoughts ? Thanks 🙂

    1. BrockLanders
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Think it's the only way

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I was hoping you would disagree haha need some man city cover and don't know how to get it .

        1. ChristoBisto
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Just forget the City 'cover'. You can't cover their whole team and points will be shared.

    2. chilli con kone
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm on Kaku, Alli and Eriksen at the moment.

      Lets me have Morata

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Nice idea actually.

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

        With WC on 2nd international break I'll go Kane Eriksen Pogba and No Lukaku. Lets me have Morata who has much better fixtures for those weeks.

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

      There are good striker options, you can make it work without one. I wouldnt feel comfortable going without Kane in future weeks. I have both and Chica. No pool cover and not really room until I WC and go without Lukaku for 4 weeks. Went Alonso + Eriksen, Pogba, Phillips and Atsu in the middle.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        9 years, 1 month ago

        You have the same front three than me then.

    4. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I think Kane will be essential but I'm not sure about Lukaku.

      Imo he will score less and get less in terms of bonus' over the season than Kane. I personally think Morata will be close to his total and Firmino not a million miles away.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        9 years, 1 month ago

        That's the kind of answer I was hoping for 🙂 what about Jesus instead of lukaku ?

    5. Ajax Hamsterdam
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Load of love for morata. He s doing better than I expected actually

  5. BlueIncognito
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Tadic out worth a -4? For any mid at or under 7.3, was thinking maybe Ramsey

    1. chilli con kone
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nothing worth a -4. Ramsey away at Chelsea this week

  6. Unconstitutional
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Daniels to Bavies for a hit is really stupid right?

    1. chilli con kone
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah I wouldn't for a hit. Daniels has a good fixture

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah

    3. BrockLanders
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure. Bavies looks fairly essential

    4. Ajax Hamsterdam
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes because Bournemouth have got a good fixture coming

  7. chilli con kone
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed

    Which is the better option long term?

    A. Morata & Salah

    B. Hazard & Firmino

    A is the obvious right now but B both on pens

    1. trinzoo
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You were given a proper reply on the previous page 🙂

      Haz is wait and see anyway !

  8. Jet5605
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What to do with this? Defence in bad shape so do I WC or do Stephens & TAA > Bavies & Another for a -4 hit? 0.8 ITB

    DDG - Elliott
    Hegazi - Stephens - Mee - TAA - Mbemba
    Salah - Alli - Ramsey - Carroll - Ritchie
    Kane - Lukaku - Gabbi

    1. chilli con kone
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I would WC.

      That defence is a train wreck and Gabbi needs to go too

  9. UnitedFan
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Do we reckon Jesus will start at Watford on Saturday after City play CL on Wednesday?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Probably. Still selling him though

    2. VS10_
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Carabao cup midweek after, as confident as I can get with Pep.

    3. pundit of punts
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I think he'll

      Watford have been tough to break.

      Pep won't take chances. Start full strength and then bench one of the strikers early if the game is in the bag.

  10. pundit of punts
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Mane + Yoshida + Hegazi âž¡ Gross + Bavies + Jones for -4 worth it?

    Gives me -

    Foster
    Bavies - Jones - Stephens
    Alli - Mkhitaryan - Phillips - Gross
    Aguero - Kane - Chicharito

    Elliot - Carroll - Long - Rosenior

    Gives me enough cash for Long + Chicharito âž¡ Kolasinac + Morata/Lacazette next gw.

    Good plan?

    1. fpltactician
      9 years, 1 month ago

      yes imo, although i prefer choupo over gross

    2. Sims
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Prefer the new stoke oop guy to gross

      1. Sims
        9 years, 1 month ago

        But yes overall. Good plan

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

      Nice if we think Gross not just one week wonder. You think he has more to come?

      1. pundit of punts
        9 years, 1 month ago

        On set pieces. Good fixtures. High on confidence. What's not to like?

        but then again if he fails, it's an easy switch to Choupo when Soke's fixtures get better in a few gws.

    4. pundit of punts
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Gross has better fixtures though.

      tough one this.

    5. kinghenry14
      9 years, 1 month ago

      looks good

    6. Buck The Trent
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, good moves for -4

    7. pundit of punts
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers all.

  11. ignis88
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What's the debate on having 2 x 4.0 keepers with Elliot playing as he is? Only issue seems it kinda stops you from getting Mbemba as your 5th and only active 4.0 defender

    1. CloudSky
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mbemba is not an active 4.0 defender.

      1. ignis88
        9 years, 1 month ago

        How so? Started when fit

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not really an issue that

    3. kinghenry14
      9 years, 1 month ago

      0.5 worth the gamble imo. i started the season with elliot speroni and i'd do it again

  12. fpltactician
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Willian to ____?

    A) Gross
    B) Choupo
    C) Antonio

  13. camarozz
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Had a great gw.
    Now I'm really considering a minus 8 to bring in

    Davies , Gross and Firmino tonight. Have exact money.

    1. camarozz
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ment to ask what ye thought of those moves.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Depends who for

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not bad. Prefer Brady to Gross

    3. chilli con kone
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Who would be leaving?

  14. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Early look at this? 8 point hit taken, oops....

    Foster
    Alonso | Jones | Bavies
    Salah | Alli | Atsu | T.Carroll
    Kane | Lukaku | Firmino

    Elliot | RLC | Lowe | Tuanzebe

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not actually submitted yet but transfers are:
      - Naughton to Bavies
      - Mane to Salah
      - Brady to T. Carroll

  15. F4L
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Mane Bertrand Yoshida âž¡ Alli Bavies 4.9mil defender for a -4?

    1. pundit of punts
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't want to lose Bertrand tbh.

    2. kinghenry14
      9 years, 1 month ago

      wouldn't want to sell bertrand playing palace

    3. F4L
      9 years, 1 month ago

      only way to get Bavies is to get rid of Berty sadly. I'll think on it, cheers for the input lads

  16. Danstoke82
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Where to downgrade to get Bavies in? Not sure I want to drop Alonso

    Foster
    Alonso Jones Mee
    Eriksen Pogba Ritchie Brady
    Kane Lukaku Firmino

    Subs; Elliot Naughton TCarroll Rosenior

    £0.0ITB 1FT

    1. I Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Just go without him if you want to keep Alonso.

    2. BlueIncognito
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Just keep Alonso- UCL starts this week so would think he'll start to be rotated especially with Rose back

    3. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ritchie to RLC/Chalobah and Mee to Bavies?

      1. Danstoke82
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers guys!

  17. Pompel

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Alli owners - anyone temtped to switch to Eriksen. With Erik's red hot form, I've got the feeling he'll on top in points come end of this year season. And he looks to rise in price tonight or tomorrow. Otoh there's the CL rotation issue, but with either they'd be in for rest of season, barring injury.

    1. kinghenry14
      9 years, 1 month ago

      wasted transfer imo

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd make that transfer if you had 2 frees and no other moves. Or on a wildcard. Otherwise, no

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

        Very rarely I have 2 FT's - too jerky knee's for that 😉

    3. UnitedFan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Too sideways. They're both going to do well. Stick with one, Alli in your case.

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

        See your point, but this argument could be made every week, and if Eriksen pulls ahead in points so will his price.

    4. pundit of punts
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Alli

    5. Cok3y5murf
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Absolutely.....not.

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

      OK, bad idea then ....

  19. Foozeball
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Why are people transferring out Lukaku? He just scored and has scored in 3 out of 4 games, with a home game up next

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      9 years, 1 month ago

      To buy Kane I guess. Let them sell

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

      Im holding but I guess people fear Kane vs Swansea( I do but will hope Eriksen captain will do the damage)

    3. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Risky to transfer anyone till later in the week ... possibly a swap for Kane?

    4. I Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I got rid on WC in the hope that Morata can match him for 1.5 less. So far so good.

  20. The Left Duke #3
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hello community, off to a v.good start with OR of 29K and leading both ML's but need to ask a question regarding my DF selection this week.

    I benched Ben Davies this week and played the following:
    Mee, Bailly, Cedric Soares, David Luiz
    Playing 433 since day 1 but was I too clever today or was my logic sound with Spurs being away to Everton? I know hindsight is 20:20 but should I just play a Spurs DF over say a Burnley or So'ton DF every time or did I just get unlucky this GW

    Thoughts?

    1. TheBrat
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Just unlucky imo

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd have played him over every defender you have. It's the attacking threat combined with Everton not exactly being the most prolific team.

  21. osullg26
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Is planning to rotate Tom Carroll and Loftus Cheek for the season a bad idea?

    1. osullg26
      9 years, 1 month ago

      .

  22. Buck The Trent
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Didnt watch the game, but how did Atsu play ? Will he start next gsme and worth keeping ?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Was decent. I expect him to start next week. But will always be under threat

    2. Manbatius
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not great tbh. He may start at home, I have him, but have other issues to fix first. (Nufc fan)

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

      I'm not using a FT to move him but he looked awful tbh and no way telling if he starts next week. Unlikely going to keep him when activating WC on 2nd int

  23. BlueIncognito
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How'd Sanches look today? Not trying to bring him in just interested to see how he performs in the prem

    1. I Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He was awful.

  24. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which one do should I fix first?

    A) Stephens
    B) TAA
    C) Tadic

    1 free transfer

    1. F4L

      C

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves

        Why was he subbed?

  25. el polako

    Is bringin in Moses, Jesus, Pope & Abraham and hoping for divine intervention a good fpl tactic ?

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

      Zlatan is god, just get him when fit and you'll be ok.

      Lol

    3. Man Chest Hair United
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Rock solid tactic lol

    4. dhamphiir
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Moses might lose his position to Zappacosta

  26. Braca_Bez_Gajca
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed :/ thinking about using my WC, hows this look?

    Elliot - Heaton
    Mee - Schindler - Dawson - Alonso - Cedric
    Alli - Atsu - Pogba - Willian - Gross
    Chicharito - Firmino - Lukaku

    Dawson, Alonso, Cedric > Hegazi, Davies, Azpi
    Atsu, Willian > Choupo, Salah
    Firmino, Lukaku > Kane, Vardy

    Could also go Luiz instead of Azpi or Doucoure instead of Choupo to keep Firmino and maybe go Alli > Eriksen

    1. Braca_Bez_Gajca
      9 years, 1 month ago

      also Heaton > Pope

  27. ebb2sparky
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Dont think I can keep Redmond any longer. Considering selling him and Bertrand for Pogba/mkhitaryan and a Newcastle defender (probably Clark). Worth a -4? Or just sell Redmond for a cheaper mid and no hit? Have 0.9 itb

    1. F4L
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Can you afford Maguire instead?

      1. ebb2sparky
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No, I only have 4.6 on a def if spending 8.3 on mid. Already have Davies, Jones and Naughton so wouldn't need to play Clark every week

  28. camarozz
    9 years, 1 month ago

    In relation to earlier post my -8'would be
    PVA ,Ritchie ,Gabbi OUT
    Davies ,.Gross ,Firmino IN.

    Could transfer out Ramsey instead of Ritchie.

    1. pundit of punts
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ditch Ramsey

  29. Man Chest Hair United
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who rotates best with Burnley defensively

    1. JustPark
      9 years, 1 month ago

      WBA/CPL. Probably just WBA looking at form right now.

    2. Man Chest Hair United
      9 years, 1 month ago
