Following on from Southampton’s 1-0 defeat of Palace at Selhurst Park, we focus our attentions on five 3pm kick-offs.

Liverpool and Man City both supply two of the top 10 captains for the Gameweek.

Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah are backed by 4% and 2% respectively as the Reds’ welcome to Anfield.

Both have already bagged two sets of double-digits in the opening four Gameweeks and were in the goals in Wednesday’s Champions League draw against Sevilla.

Meanwhile, Sergio Aguero (4%) and Gabriel Jesus (2%) were also in scoring form in midweek as Pep Guardiola’s side breezed past Feyenoord.

The Etihad outfit have racked up nine goals in their last two matches in all competitions and travel to Watford looking for a repeat of last season’s 5-0 win at Vicarage Road.

Elsewhere, Jamie Vardy heads to Huddersfield on the back of three goals in his first four Gameweeks – all scored against Arsenal and Chelsea.

Newcastle’s Joselu and Stoke’s Eric Choupo-Moting boast some strong underlying numbers as they square up at St James’ Park. Over 235,000 drafted in the Cameroon international after he bagged a brace in last Saturday’s home draw with Man United.

The Magpies’ Rob Elliot is once again the most benched player in the Gameweek – despite serving up back-to-back clean sheets, over 853,000 owners have named him as a sub.

West Brom and West Ham clash at the Hawthorns after contrasting results last week.

Hauled off just after the hour-mark in the 2-0 win over Huddersfield, Javier Hernandez was subject to over 230,00 transfers out – only Sadio Mane and Paul Pogba were jettisoned by more managers over the previous week.

    Kane owners feeling underpressure with the Kun haul?

    Foster, Evans, Mendy, Cedric, Jesus, RLC -- points all over the pitch but no break-away points by anyone. only 31 from 6 players. Davies on bench (first sub Firmino). Another failed GW probably.

      There are EFL games. See who plays in them first (LIV vs leicester & MCI vs west brom so not totally straightforward).

    Anyone else got T.Carroll playing for them coming up?

    1. Bun Rab

      If Davies is a no show i will have Naughton *gulp*

      1. Football Heaven
        • 9 Years

        Same. Why isn't Davies playing?

        1. Bun Rab
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Rest i assume. Poch like to rotate.

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years

      I have both him and RLC coming on. 🙂

    3. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      No, but I got Mee off the bench for Stephens, and if Davies is a no-show, I played with ten men. I should have listened to Ruth about never having a non-playing player (e.g. 4.0 dud).

      1. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Check that, if Willian is a no-show, I will get T. Carroll's production.

    4. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      First sub for Davies if he doesn't come on

    5. Jam0sh
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yep. T.Carroll hattrick could be great way to cancel Spurs clean sheet and Bavies no-show

    1. Zasa
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Pep hates strikers though, Agüero got lucky innit

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        That was in his Barca days.

        Lewa scored loads for him.

        He knows at City he has to play them strikers.

        Different team. Different approach.

        1. Zasa
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          For sure, was just a nonsensical idea people believed in last season

          He's never hated strikers

          1. pundit of punts
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            +1

      2. fedolefan
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        So you show up when he gets a hattrick and disappear when he gets benched. That's how this is going to work?

        1. pundit of punts
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          I posted when he got benched as well.

          I'll take his benchings if he comes up with a 20 points haul every 2 gws. 😎

          1. fedolefan
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            You post all the time. Hard to miss them. My comment was at the guy above.

        2. Zasa
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Lolwut?

          What does him getting benched having anything to do with this?

          1. Zasa
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            *have

          2. fedolefan
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            If you don't see how, then there's no point in having a conversation. Cheers!

            1. Zasa
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Sorry bud, but if you think a striker being benched a couple times a season means the manager hates strikers, then you're daft. Especially if it doesn't take into account the reasons for being benched

              Didn't Agüero break his record for most goals in a season for City last year?

              But hey, clearly Pep hates strikers eh

              1. fedolefan
                • 12 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                How about Pep himself saying that he'd prefer only midfielders if possible? But, let's not believe him. Let's believe you. Why was Aguero benched in GW3? You are conveniently showing up when he's scored a hattrick to make your point.

                1. fedolefan
                  • 12 Years
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  Also, I'm not saying he hates strikers or whatever. But there is enough doubt there. Well played to those who got Aguero in but there has been enough evidence over the past 2 seasons, that there are more nailed on big-hitters than him.

                2. Zasa
                  • 12 Years
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  So one throwaway quote must mean he hates striker. Got it. Are you serious? Is he playing a team full of midfielders right now, has he ever?

                  I imagine that'd be Pep rotating his team, which is apparently a thing in football

                  Just seems kinda weird Pep's been playing with two strikers up top yet still hates those guys. Crazy.

                  If you honestly think that one odd benching every 10-15 games a season, like every player in that team will likely go through at one point, means the manager hates their position. Then I don't know what to say

                  1. fedolefan
                    • 12 Years
                    8 years, 10 months ago

                    I'm sorry, but where were you when Kun wasn't returning as well as expected? Did you stick with him all through last season? You've clearly come out at a very convenient time with your analysis.

                    1. Zasa
                      • 12 Years
                      8 years, 10 months ago

                      I stopped playing midway through the season but I had him in my team for a good run of GW's until Kane showed up iirc

                      Regardless, what does that have to do with this? He still ended up with his highest goal tally in all comps, so one bad patch of form doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things. Underlying stats were still as strong as ever last season as well, I'd be more worried about him if he wasn't getting himself into those goalscoring positions.

                      That whole Pep hates strikers idea came out when Agüero was both: a) benched because he was coming back from the IB starting both Argentina matches. & b) was benched vs Barca because Pep wanted more midfield control & played KDB as a false 9.

                      Talk about hyperbole, & lack of context. One could even say, convenient.

    2. Tactical Nuke
      • 9 Years

      Why didn't make him captain, maybe there was an ounce of doubt

    Bavies on the bench after I brought him in for a hit.

        He is eventually coming in my 11 every week.

  10. Gravless wonder
    • 14 Years

    Which combination will score more:

    1) Alli + D.Sanchez + Naughton
    2) Son + Trippier + D.Sanchez

  11. Up the tics

  12. Fpl Richie

    • 10 Years

    Really hope Swansea score now with Spurs suffering because of their weak left hand side.

    Bitter?

    1. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Maybe like Liverpool they have tired display, wembley supposed be a bit sapping

    2. Poor man's Igor Biscan
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      In a really horrible position now that Naughton is my 1st auto sub but want Kane (c) and Alli to smash it

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Not really, Kane and Alli could score double figures and whatever Naughton ends up on would hardly make a dent.

    Will Aguero get 3 baps?

    1. F4L

    Unless you've plentiful funds to upgrade third striker, or 2FT's, then Lukaku -> Aguero best way of getting in city's man of moment.

    Question is lads; is this a good move:

    Y or N?!

    Cresswell a good option at 5.0 after the Spurs match. Wing back, on set pieces (until Lanzini's return).

    Do you think Welbeck gets 70+ mins in the next couple of games?
    Yes or No?

      I can't see Welbeck starting now that Sanchez is back, but I said that last week after I dropped him

      70+ minutes in total, probably not 70+ minutes in each.

    I have neither Kane or Kun. How scared should I be?

        Foster
        Davies -- Cedric -- Jones
        Kante -- Gross -- Eriksen -- Alli
        Firmino -- Lukaku -- Jesus

        Bench of

        Elliot -- Lowe -- Carrol and Kolasinac

    Jesus or Aguero no city cover
    Front 3 is Morata Lukaku Kane have Mkhi as United cover

    Will Vardy squeeze the 3rd bonus??

    With baps I'll be on 25 - 8 which isn't bad I guess as I got rid of gabbi and had to get rid of pogba. Antonio will come good I hope.

    And I still have WC just in case.
    Triple spurs kane (c) better do the business.

    Why is Brady's assist gone?!? He clearly got the last touch on the ball before Arfield scored

    1. Ramboros
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      His pass is miles off Airfield. Definitely no assist.

      1. Foozeball

        8 years, 10 months ago

        FPL has awarded stranger assist points than that before. Pretty BS imo

        1. Ramboros
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          How? The ball lands miles away from Arfield and is kicked by a Liverpool player to him. Those are never given an assist for.

    Foster
    Mee Jones Stones

    Kane Jesus Vardy
