We delve into the Opta data next, rolling out our usual post-Gameweek members’ article.

Both Merseyside clubs play a part in our assessment, while we also check out the contrasting fortunes from West Ham and Watford’s goal scoring midfielders.

Southampton’s in-form frontman is also among our featured players, as is a certain Man City wide man after a weekend return to the scoresheet.

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

    Did Cresswell get injured last night? Came off on 65

    1. F4L

    "Chelsea star Marcos Alonso shows off ‘killer’ left foot with epic trick shot"

    Classy 'pun' from a classy newspaper.

      Pretty sick that he is a free man.

      "The Blues could call on Alonso’s stunning left foot again as they host Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup tomorrow (December 20)."

      Didn't even bother to check if he was eligible for that game or not..

    Who to captain?

    A. Kane
    B. Sterling
    C. Sanè
    D. Salah
    E. Coutinho

    Currently on C.

    1. F4L

      why look past B? Easy choice

    2. Hulk Smash

    Depoitre and Sane (have Sterling) -4
    or
    Firminio and Gross

  5. Hoofedgod
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Someone talk me out of this...

    Maguire, Pickford, Richarlison, Groß, Morata >>>>>> Kenny, Elliot, Sterling, Pogba, Firmino (-16)

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Simpler transfers to make imo. Kenny short term and Firmino will dip in and out of form.

      1. Rust Cohle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I’d take this week to week. Maguire or Groß should be the first one out. These changes are not worth a -16 though.

        Yeah

  9. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Which option scores the most, Assuming D.Silva is back?

    A) Morata + Gross

    B) Firmino + Sterling - 4

    If D.Silva is out which is the best option ?

    A) Silva + Morata -> Aguero + Sterling (-4)

    B) Silva + Hazard -> Sterling + KDB (-4)

    C) Silva + Morata -> Firmino + Sterling (-4)

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years

      B
      cant you just to Silva to Sterling if Silva is out?

      1. Bruno Bruno!!

        want double city for their next 2 games

  10. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Would you advice me not to do

    Richarlson ➡ Arnautovic -4???

    Only reason is I'm 90 points off top in ML in tenth and team is getting very similar..

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      id say go for it. Watford a sinking ship right now. Only problem is where little Pea fits into the team now he's fit

    2. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Just play it simple, still long way to go in the season to worry about trying to claw back a 90 point deficit. For me its a no.

    3. Batchain
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      That's not really a reason. Do you think Arn will outscore Richarlison over next few weeks plus more than 4? Personally I think given fixtures/form, he will. But I'm a bit biased, I think Arnautovic is a great underrated player. Also, just to add a reason worse than yours - it's a more interesting choice!

    4. shortymak

      watford good going forward and rich is part of everything id keep

    5. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 11 Years

      Lanzini is banned two games, they are a different team without him, I say don't.

      1. Ramboros
        • 14 Years

        Only 1 game left.

    2. golly28

      Leaning to sell. Watford haven’t played well of late despite easy run

    4. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Been rubbishing for weeks. 13pts in last 5 and Watford wheels look like they've cone off. Even if he scores he seems to be bap repellent

      1. shortymak
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        was very unlucky not to score more he a keeper

    5. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Keeping. Not his fault they cant keep 11 players on the pitch.

    6. yakirh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Keeping

    7. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      If I kept I would bench away to stingey Brighton with all Watfords players missing. All his attacking stats away so wouldn't fancy Leicester home next maybe Swansea then Man City away. Terrible. Half this comp is knowing when to buy and when to flog ahead of the curve

  12. Flynny
    • 10 Years

    Any advice here please?

    A...hazard to sterling / kdb

    B...rlc and morata to sterling and Austin- 4

    Fab elliot

    Hazard salah cout richarlison rlc
    Kane morata dcl

    Thanks

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      both involve selling a good asset. Risk/reward again, I like B more though tbh, Morata just hasn't settled into being a no.1 striker for a team yet.

      1. Flynny
        • 10 Years

    8 years, 2 months ago

    Hi guys,

    I bought Silva at 8.1, if he drops now to 8.2 I lose the 0.1mil profit right?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      yep

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Correct.

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Ty.

    3. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      yes

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 8 Years

        Ty.

    4. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 11 Years

      How do you lose it? I don't understand it:/

      1. gwitbrock
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Current price - purchase price ÷ 2. Round it down if the answer has a .5 on the end and that's your profit.

      2. gwitbrock
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Alternative way to think of it is you gain 0.1 profit for every 0.2 the player's price rises, but you only gain the 0.1 when each 0.2 is reached. Sorry to be blunt but it's quite simple.

  14. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Bringing in Sane for this GW19.

    Would you ditch Mahrez or Richarlison?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Richy

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Definitely Rich

    2. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years

      Thank you both.

  15. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years

    Kola and Ramsey to Jones and pogba for a hit. Yes ?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years

      yep, 2 non players for 2 nice players

    2. jimmy.floyd

      Yes

  16. Hart-ake
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    What's better: Richarlison and Firmino or Coutinho and Austin?

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years

      second one

  17. jimmy.floyd

    Captain for the next gw?

    DDG
    Azpilucueta Otamendi Ogbonna
    Salah Shaqiri Haz RLC Richarlison
    Kane Kaku

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years

      Salah, Arsenal look set to receive a pasting Friday night

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Arsenal are actually good at home

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Against the bottom six

    2. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Salah or maybe Lukaku?

  18. Batchain
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone got a link to the teams for who played that Carabao Cup? Did Sane and Sterling play?

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      no, both rested. B.Silva played, so both S + S presumably start at the weekend

    3. Fingerspitzengefühl
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      City's main 11 rested

  19. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    1. KDB + Cresswell/Ogbonna/Masuaku
    2. Pogba + Otamendi

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      2

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      2

    3. gwitbrock
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      1 for me with Masuaku

  20. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    I was going to keep Jesus, but not after extra time tonight. Who to bring in, Morata or Lacazette? Not convinced by Firmino (rotation and lack of consistency) or Rooney (surely fluke returns?).

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I'm not fully convinced Morata is ready to become a no 1 striker for a team. Laca wont play more than 70mins, even given the disgruntled Arsenal fans view on that situation. Both don't appeal to me, Morata the lesser of 2 evils imo, easier fixtures

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Who would you recommend then? Surely Lacazette is nailed for more minutes now given Giroud's injury.

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      ideally lukaku ?

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah I did look at Lukaku but budget is 10.7 max.

        And there's nobody I want to downgrade for a hit right now.

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

        Can’t understand why he’s being ignored given upcoming upcoming fixtures, pogback and he’s started scoring again... it’s weird...

    3. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Firmino is not being rotated. He was rested like everyone else:) He is great option, Rooney bagged 10 goals, wouldn't say he's bad option atm with Big Sam killin' it

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Surely Everton will stop getting penalties though, all the stats point to Rooney's returns soon regressing.

    4. gwitbrock
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Rooney's returns aren't flukes, but the goals will prob dry up a little. Every chance his assists will increase though once Calvert Lewin starts putting them away. FWIW though I'd be all over Firmino, fun player to own, heavily involved, and rotation issue is just a rest like everyone in that attack has had.

  21. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Who would you get in for Kane next 3 GW's?

    A Rooney
    B Austin
    C A Gray

    Cheers

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      None of them really, but I guess Rooney if you must.

    2. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I got Austin but really because I have DCL and he rotates well with him as I will have the power 5 in midfield.

      If I didn’t have DCL, I’d have gone Rooney

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      do you want Kane back for the DGW?

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I have Aguero so right now he’s an easy makeweight for Kane IF he doesn’t get booked in 20

      2. Henryyy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Yep, its only for GW 19 20 and 21

        1. AYLD28
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Is it to give you a power 5 in midfield?

          What’s your midfield out of interest?

          Right now I have:

          Sterling, Hazard, Salah, Richi*, RLC*

          Stuck on who to get.. KDB, Cout, Arnie, Lanzini, Pogba

          1. Henryyy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

  22. Bored Bear

    Anyone else tempted to play

    DCL (CHE)

    over
    RLC (swa)
    Ogbonna (NEW)

    DCL already picked up points against City and Pool and Everton on a roll?

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      play Oggy. Chelsea have looked more solid recently

    3. gwitbrock
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Viable for sure

  23. bobbyt1
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Can someone please explain Ogbonna being West Ham defender of choice over Masuaku?! Just don’t get it

    1. FPL_Hazards
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      More nailed

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      More assured of starts & bps.

      Masuaku is a lot more fun though

    3. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      It's all about that dgw. Masuaku, being a wingback, is much more likely to be rotated for one. Ogbonna is their best current cb and is more likely to play both.

  24. Viper
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    A. Kane - > Aguero

    B. Hazard - > KDB

    C. Stop trying to be clever and just save your transfer ya big eejit

    Any Newcastle fans ? Its worth to bring Dummett this week? Will he play ?

  29. McSlu
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Any advice here? 2FT, 2.8 ITB
    Elliot, foster
    Ota, Chris, lowton, kenny, gamez
    Sterling, haz, salah, rich, RLC
    kane, firm, DCL

    Maybe gamez to Jones and roll FT?

    Gamez, rich -> Jones, pogba?

    Maybe something else?

    1. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…

      I like the Gomez rich move.

      If you could perhaps look at rich RLC to pogba + someone that would be ideal I think

      If nothing then RLC to to pogba and keep richarli and downgrade lawton to Ogbonna maybe? Not sure if you can afford that?

    Jesus.
    Keep or get rid?

    1. Pierce34

      I really wanted to keep as I was looking forward to him becoming a differential after all the sales, but surely he won't play after extra-time today, and it's too much money to bench. Plus I'll have to rely on Jordan Ayew if he doesn't play!

      Rid for sure, he’s b team now
