Men In Black – Gameweek 13

The men in black have been a prominent talking point leading up to Gameweek 13 after Everton’s Oumar Niasse become the first player to be handed a two-match ban for a ‘Successful Deception of a Match Official’.

As featured in the first iteration of our members’ Men in Black article last week, though, Anthony Taylor – the referee who awarded the Toffees’ spot-kick against Crystal Palace – had previous when it came to awarding penalties.

      Jones to Otamendi?

      E. Do A and C next week if you're still keen on it.

    Thoughts on kdb to hazard?

    Got
    Sane city
    Morata chelsea

    I feel hazard better pick than kdb or morsts/hazard over kill

    1. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Would probably wait until after the weekends games. Liverpool have been solid at home.

      1. Sarri-ball
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah sorry will be after weekend.

        Jones to mustafi this week.

        So kdb to hazard good move?

        1. Leonard hatred
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Yes.

    2. FPL Jogger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      It is tempting but Sane is such good value at the moment (until Pep strengthens in Jan/Mendy's return) , the 1.5 million could bolster your squad elsewhere in preparation for the fixture barage over Christmas

      1. Sarri-ball
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah sane/morata staying in team.

        Just do I keep kdb or move 2 hazard

        1. FPL Jogger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          IMO Hazard

  3. FPL Jogger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Is demari gray a viable swap for Richarlison?

    It will enable me to go from (=> to)

    Pope Elliott
    Ward Daniels Otamendi Jones (=> Alonso) Duffy
    Alli (=> Sane) Salah Silva Richarlison (=> Gray) RLC
    Kane Jesus (=> Morata) Abraham

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      if getting alonso morata and sane then yes probably! shame to lose richarlison but you are massively upgrading the squad

      1. FPL Jogger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Im erring that way

        Jesus and Morata are both 10.5 which makes that easy

        the choice is Alonso & Gray or Richarlison and £5.9mill def?

  4. Fred54

    Predictive text middle word.

    I am. if he doesn't make sense of humour, I have Kane so any time of the year, and I will be very suprised if he sits out on the weekend, but I think it may be more about Spurs pacing themselves this season but its not good for an FPL manager. not only is it possible to get the best way to get the best way to get the best way to get the best way

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years

      I am so confused right now.

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        On a phone (Well on android, assume similar on iPhone) as you type a word you get 3 options. If you keep pressing the middle option it can write coherent tripe for you.

          you mean you haven't always been doing this ? 😉

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Someone isn't pacing themselves 😀

  5. Werkself
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Are Kolasinac and/or Monreal worth their price difference over Mustafi?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Depends what you do with the change. They are of course better options.

    2. Ibracadabra
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      a bit concerned about ARS defense as almost all of their clean sheets have come at home and they have some amazing fixtures but most on the road over next 3-4 weeks.

    3. Ibracadabra
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      BPs will be best for Monreal in clean sheets and Kola will get forward, not sure Mustafi at 5.3m will provide anything besides a clean sheet here or there.

    4. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      im not sure, but i went kola now just because i think he is fun to watch and Mustafi only a threat on set pieces as Kola also threat in open play. Mustafi key to cs, sokind of a tricky question. Think Kola will get more points than Mustafi but once Mustafi is out again cs will dry up. Plain value speaking it might be Mustafi edging it, but not sure.

      1. Ibracadabra
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Considering Stones-> Mustafi for free personally or Stones/Eriksen to Otamendi/Sane now that Stones is out Otamendi should be nailed for the coming busy fixture period.

    5. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Mustafi only scored CS pts, apart from last week. The other two consistently get attacking returns, and or BP''S. You get what you pay for with Gunners defence imo.

    6. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Thanks all. Keep the relies coming.

  6. Bobadoba
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Have a feeling Aguero will start this weekend as manager will not want to keep benching his best player.

    Two or three goals for him I reckons but still captaining Kane.

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Not the weekend but will probably start next 2.

    2. the axolotl
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      doubt he will, as an owner. never know tho. but he starts 1 of next 2 surely so keeping. doubting he's a good idea long term tho

    3. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      ? if you really believe kun gets 2 or 3 youd captain him

      1. Bobadoba
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Not necessarily as have Kane who could score 3 or more potentially.

        I certainly think Aguero likely to score more than Morata this weekend as Liverpool are very good defensively at home. The common Aguero to Morata move for this coming game week I think is likely to be a mistake.

    4. Bellerinmondo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Jesus (c) Kun (vc) here. Playing the Pep go round until I have some free transfers to change it

      1. Bobadoba
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Could be a good move but Aguero still a more explosive and a better player.

    5. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      glad someone has hope for him starting, can´t se him though and i am an owner. But for me it is like this, (1) very nice if he starts, (2) totally fine with more than twenty because he will score if given some minutes, (3) not subbed in then i will have Chop M i for him- The only scenario which i´m afraid of is that 1minute substitutiion in injury time, but Pep does not seem to do that kind of change unless the score is draw which it won´t be. Several times this season City players have come in and scored or/and assisted (Sané, Sterling, Jesus and Bernardo)

      1. Bobadoba
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Also could well be false economy removing Aguero if he plays some of next game and then all of the following for example.

  7. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Bench two:

    A) Mee (ARS)
    B) Azpi (liv)
    C) Moreno (CHE)
    D) Daniels (swa)
    E) Dann (STK)

    Cheers

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years

      A and C

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I think Arsenal more likely not to score than Liverpool so currently thinking b and c.

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Perhaps, but Azpi has more attacking threat than Mee.

          1. bench boost for every gamew…
            • 7 Years

            if he hits Moratas head that is-)

    5. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      C and D I guess. A and E have home advantage. Can't really put my mind to bench second most expensive defender.

  8. Mateja
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Ederson(Eliot)
    Kiko-Davies-Daniels(Mee,Heunemeir)
    Sterling-Salah-Hazard-Richarl(Carrol)
    Abraham-Kane-Morata
    0.4 itb 1 ft

    So what to do abraham is on50%
    Sterling rotatio risk, cant afford if both wont play kiko is also on 75%,but he will probably play
    Options:
    A)Abraham->C.Wilson
    B)Carrol->RLC (and play him instead of tammy)
    C)save ft

  9. Tmel

    6 years, 6 months ago

    Was all set on playing my WC this week, downgrading Jesus to Niasse, going 3-5-2 and getting in Haz & Sane but with Niasse out and Jesus possibly starting I'm going to hold. Would still really like to have Sane this week but not sure if Sterling > Sane is worth a hit?

  10. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Jones -> Alonso a good move here?

    Fabianski
    Daniels, Ward, Fernendez,
    Hazard, Silva, Richarlison, Moting
    Kane, Jesus, Vardy
    Elliot, Jones*, Carroll Mbemba.

    1 ft, 1.8 itb.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I don't think there is a better move than Jones > Alonso.

      1. FPLtfs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        So it's a yes, then. Thanks 🙂

        1. Bobadoba
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Its a no from me.

    2. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years

      yep

    3. Bobadoba
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I dont like this move this week as Liverpool very likely to score and would not rely much on Alonso's attacking returns. 2 points most likely score from him this weekend in my opinion.

      1. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 7 Years

        liverpool scoring just once??

    So Defoe was left out of the last Bournemouth team altogether, is sub/ backup to wilson and eddie howe still says he can make the England world cup squad

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Eddie Howe was quoted as saying Wilson can make the England World Cup squad too. Perhaps he's hedging his bets!

    Any help here guys?

    Elliot (Pope)
    Jones Moreno Daniels (Ward Hunemeier)
    Hazard Salah Sterling Richarlison (T.Carroll)
    Kane Kun Joselu

    1FT, 1.3m ITB. Which move?

    Already on a -4 (-12 for the season) so not planning on anymore moves this week. Next week though:

    Eriksen >
    A) Hazard (keep Richarlison)
    B) Sane (Richarlison > Pogba)

    What route is best considering I already have Morata and Sterling?

  15. Big P

    I need two strikers (long term) for a draft league...

    Best two?

    Anyone think Jones will start v BHA? Or do we believe Mourinho when he says he is out?

    1. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I never believe a work Jose says so will wait for an update tomorrow

    2. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      well I have been looking at the price change progress and I think we can afford to wait for the presser tomorrow to find out for sure.

      but he has already said hes out.

    3. Athletic Bilbo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Expecting he might save Jones for the harder fixtures in all this congestion

  18. UnitedFan
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    RP for a new crowd.

    Azpi/Alonso still worth the cash with all the cheap options floating about?

      1. UnitedFan
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Not a member Syd 🙂

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      It's such a cliche to say he's an extra midfielder, but when you own Alonso, there's the very real sense he may score. I almost take it for granted his CS points (with Kante back).

      1. UnitedFan
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Was favouring Azpi over him, if I was to get one of them.

      2. Syd.
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        The 2 of them combined have only 4 less points than Lukaku & Aguero combined

        1. UnitedFan
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Probably worth the cash after all.

    2. Fingerspitzengefühl
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Absolutely. Azpi BAP magnet and Alonso the highest goal threat of all defensive players. The points they've gotten so far can compare with premium strikers.

  19. Razor425
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Wc team G2G?

    Begovic, Elliot
    Smalling, Mee, Duffy, Moreno, Mustafi
    Gros, Silva, Sane, Pogba, Salah
    Kane, Morata, Niasse

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      absolutely! gret team! Personally dont like Moreno but he could be a good pick at home

      1. Razor425
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers, Smalling, Mustafi and Niasse are the real question marks in my eyes

        1. @fpl_phenom
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Niasse is the enabler so wouldntworry bout him... bargain bench strker.

          I would strongly recommend Smalling to daniels and begovic to ddg, your guaranteed the utd defensive cover then....up to you though.

          Mustafi is a decent shout for a cheap way into arsenals defense, nailed on too.

          1. Razor425
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Don't have the cash for that I'm afraid

  20. @fpl_phenom
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    any reason not to do Jones to Otamendi right now for free?

    1. Razor425
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Don't think so at this stage

    2. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yes. When you already have great cover to bench Jones.

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I dont... would be playing ward v arsenal

    3. ScottK2
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Just did the exact thing a few minutes ago. Mourinho (if you believe him) has said he is not playing this weekend and read speculation that he may miss the midweek game next week as well. Getting tired of wondering if or when he will play.

  21. Ronnies

    Firmino > Wilson as my free transfer.

    yes or no ?

    1. FPL Maldini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I’m considering it

    2. UnitedFan
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Not for me.

    3. Odikostar
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      noo, firmino is a good choice going forward

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Tricky. Firmino is starting to look lively again and has Stoke up after Chelsea.

    2. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years

      Wilson if Stanislas doesn't nick it from him.

    3. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Hoping for Daniels. But tbh I think it'll be scoreless in Wales.

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        heres hoping! Daniels Naughton playing

        1. JustPark

          That's locked in already.

      I was considering getting Kenny in. 🙁

      No. It said at the start of the prog. 1pt from 12 was the worst start by any English club. That includes Wigan and Birmingham who had slipped into the Championship that season.

        Ok, maybe not points wise, but given the expectations of Everton at the start of the season compared to the 2 mentioned it must be the biggest underachievement.

        1. Monkey Hanger
          • 10 Years

          May have misunderstood. Evertons 1pt from a possible 12 is the worst performance by any English club in the Europa cup.

            Yep, sorry, misread.

      They are lucky just to be 2-0 down

      They look so disjointed and clueless

      Spurs bombing out of the CL after being drawn in a fairly easy group then getting knocked out of the EL by Gent last season was pretty special.

        Not if you forked out for tickets like I did 🙂

        In fairness Monaco were good, and we did win 2 games. The home game against the Germans and the Gent games were very poor though.

      I wonder if siggy prefers Everton to Swansea?

    Given his ban is it not strange that Niasse isn't playing tonight? Is he cup tied or something?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Don't think he was named in the squad at the start of the competition.

        You are correct..ive just looked it up. Cheers though.

    David Silva or Pogba?

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      pogba

    2. FPL Jogger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      silva

      pogba has tough fixtures in GW15 and 16. Jose may park the bus, attacking returns always likely with MCY

    3. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Silva.

  26. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo

    6 years, 6 months ago

    Once a player (Pogba's) price is unlocked is there a catch-up effect toward the next price rise? Or does it effectively start again from 0 and start going up normally?

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      This season who knows. Usually though thats the case.

      1. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Which is the case? Catch up or regular growth from 0?

        1. Forever In Our Shadow
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Start from 0. But with the amount of people getting him in he will move fast but probably not before the deadline but before tomorrow night.

    2. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      *A catch-up effect given that many have transferred him in during the price lock*

    Sterling to Haz this week or next?

    If next week, would need to make it just before this weekends games due to price changes.

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      next week and gamble that Hazard doesnt get injured... hate doing that but its a good strategy as Hazards fixtures turn great after Liverpool.

      Although with Sterling likely reduced Minutes and Hazards ability to score v big teams I think id do it now

      Yes though I'm going moreno over Burnley defender (lowton) ... But not sure on it either

    On a WC would you go with Sterling & Sane?

    1. VardysParty
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Probably not sterling

    2. FPL Jogger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      sane

      I've had both for a few weeks now and has worked well.

      However be prepared to have a decent bench as am sure there will be occasions when 1 of them won't play.
