We roll out our post-Gameweek members’ article, assessing some of the standout contenders over the previous round of fixtures.

West Ham, Spurs and Man United midfielders are among our featured players, while Chelsea’s left wing-back joins a pair of Bournemouth and West Brom assets in catching the eye.

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

    Best way to get in Alonso?

      morata to vardy christensen to alonso

      1. Evasivo
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I like this move ALOT! Think Vardy a much better option than Wilson

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I have Vardy and will be shifting to Wilson.

          Vardy is evil to own. Trust me.

          1. Evasivo
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Will have a re-think, I've also owned Vardy already this season however unsure I can trust Wilson

        2. Sims
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          u need to decide between vardy and rlc(bench) and mahrez and cheap striker(bench) i prefer the latter but it will cost u one transfer more

      2. KUNingas
        • 10 Years

        This. Holding Son for coming tougher games?

        1. Evasivo
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Son was due to be the enabler this week tbh until he convinced me otherwise by bringing in a haul! Son will be gone next gw most likely

          1. KUNingas
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Pogba in?

            1. Evasivo
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Could do, was thinking Lingard or a punt on Choupo for fun

    2. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Christensen & Morata > Alonso & Wilson?

      With cash in the bank for other upgrades.

    Thoughts on Harry Maguire in for Kabasele (FT)

    Looks to have some decent fixtures, especially GW28 when there could be holes in your team?

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Do we know likely teams to miss GW28?

      1. Virgil Hilts
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Will be confirmed when League Cup Semis conclude middle of next week.

        Could be 4 teams, 2 teams, or very outside chance of no blanks.

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers Virgil.....

            • 9 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            No probs, Arsenal Man City Man United Chelsea could all possibly have no game in the worst case scenario.

            Alternatively the worst case scenario of 4 teams blanking could work very well for people who plan well for it....in limbo at the moment until next week to be honest.

            1. Jafooli
              • 14 Years

              Yikes, having already used my FH chip I could be screwed 😛

    2. Sims
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      i think maguire is too expensive for a defender from a non top 6 team

      honestly, i wouldnt bother playing defenders from these teams just try to get jones/stones etc. at least thats what i have been doing for the past two seasons

      1. Virgil Hilts
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Tempted by Jones as I can just afford him. But seems to be adding to GW28 issue if the worst happens. Got Otamendi so Stones not really for me.

        I agree though, Maguire is a bit pricey for what he does; the odd clean sheet, the odd attacking return.

    3. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Danilo at Man City or Robertson of Liverpool better choices.

      1. Tazah
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Maguire of the Leicestershire

      2. Virgil Hilts
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Risking double up with Ota, or Moreno claiming back Liv LB berth? Decisions decisions 🙂

    Is there a way to know on whose favour the picks are on for a particular GW in FPL draft?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Bottom of ladder gets 1st pick.

      1. Chandler Bing
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I tried transferring in Bellerin a couple of weeks ago when I was 3rd in my league but the guy who's on 2nd got him. How?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          You can use the Transactions tab to make requests for swapping your players on ‘waivers’. The waivers deadline is usually 24 hours before the Gameweek deadline and any requests that you make will be processed in turns. The order will be based on the draft order before the first deadline, then once the season starts, the lowest placed in the league will get first pick. Please see the section in the rules around ‘Transactions’ for more information.

          Was Bellerin your 1st pick?

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Unfortunately not. They need a mechanism to show what transfers are completed. And also the process of the draft waiver (including order) each week. Preferably animated. All in one place.

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        But as TM says, of course, it goes bottom to top.

  8. Tazah
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I know this is thinking ahead but, who's more likely to keep a clean sheet TOT v utd?

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Tottenham more likely to keep a CS imo

    2. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      United imo - Burnley have only scored 8 times at home and United have conceded 11 in 11 games. They are back to full strength now too, pretty much, whereas Spurs are still missing Toby

    3. Tazah
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Okay sorry I meant the match between Tottenham v United

      1. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Argh I see - Spurs then. Mourinho's teams have blanked alot recently away to the big sides.

        1. Tazah
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Okay cool thanks

  9. gilean
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Who should I get out of Aguero, Alonso or Mahrez for -4?

    Current team:

    Adrian Elliot

    Otamendi Jones Christensen Mee Kenny

    Salah Sterling Arnie Richarlison Son

    Kane McBurnie Morata



    Got 1 FT and 1.2 ITB.

    A. Morata Kenny -> Aguero Chilwell (-4)

    B. Morata Christensen -> Firmino Alonso (-4)

    C. Morata Richarlison -> Firmino Mahrez (-4)

    D. Save transfer

    Thoughts?

    1. Tazah
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Morata firmino

      1. gilean
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Would leave me with a huge bank though, and the other guys have good fixtures. Maybe just get the transfer over with?

        1. Tazah
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Nothing wrong with options for next week

  10. NestorC
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Would you rather bring Mahrez or Alonso?
    I have Azpi if that means something

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez in that case. Alonso however is also a great pick. Just don't like the idea of doubling up.

    2. Tazah
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso

    3. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso

  11. Maddamotha
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you bench?

    Jones (BUR) away
    Christensen (BHA) away
    Otamendi (NEW) home
    Robertson (SWA) away

    1. Maddamotha
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Bench one, that is.

    2. NestorC
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Rob

      1. Tazah
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yup

    3. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Robertson

  12. MTPockets

      Why does the member login have to different to usual one?
      Only one extra click/page, but just wondering.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Different server.

        1. MTPockets
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Ok. I always forget then hit links, having to login again.

      2. xRedArrow
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Choose:
        A) RLC to Ibe
        B) DCL to Wilson

        Caveat there are no sub 5.0 mids looking more viable now than Jordon Ibe and a BOU double up is overboard.

        1. MTPockets
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Depends what's up with RLC and whether to play/bench. But probably Wilson.

          Thoughts on this team for next week...?

          DDG
          Ogbonna / Otamendi / Alonso
          Ox / Arnautovic / Lingard / Salah (c) / Sterling
          Kane / Firmino

          Bench: Elliot, Kenny, Depoitre, Duffy

          Thanks

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Ogbo, Ox and Lingard are the weak links. But not weak enough to panic yet

        3. Jsadler95
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Anyone else in big trouble if Chelsea beat Arsenal next week? I'll have 6 blanks for GW28, only will have 3 though if Arsenal win.

          1. JÆKS ⭐
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            That's what the free hit is for

            1. Jsadler95
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah but I want to save that for BGW 31 where I think the blanks will be worse.

              1. JÆKS ⭐
                • 11 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                Haven't looked into it much I must admit, which teams are def having a blank? And why is Chelsea winning worse?

                1. Jsadler95
                  • 9 Years
                  8 years, 1 month ago

                  Well the games GW28 atm are Chelsea vs United and Arsenal vs City. I have 3 City players, 2 United and 1 Chelsea but 0 Arsenal. So best case I lose 3, worst case I lose 6.

                  1. JÆKS ⭐
                    • 11 Years
                    8 years, 1 month ago

                    Cheers

                    1 Chelsea 1 United 3 City 0 Arsenal, best case scenario for me would be Chelsea winning then since lots have more Chelsea and United!

            • 16 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            You have at least 4 free transfers if you used it this GW already.

            1. Virgil Hilts
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Loss of value for people having to sell the likes of Sterling, Jones, Otamendi, DDG, Chelsea defs etc seems to be main issue, along with people with already bench full of fodder.

              1. TorresMagic™
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 16 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                You'll bench the players you want the next week so Sterling, Chelsea def, Otamendi /Jones and DDG.

                Gives you a free shot(-4) if needed to fix fodder. You would play short otherwise so get some of the hit back straight away.

                1. Virgil Hilts
                  • 9 Years
                  8 years, 1 month ago

                  Yep, I guess key is not to end up with about 7 players from the big teams who possibly blank and a bench full of dross by consequence.

                  I’m tempted by Jones for Kabasele but that would give me 6 potential blankers plus Quaner on the bench. Need to start a Plan A and Plan B, and even a Plan C this week!

              2. Hotdogs for Tea
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                People simply won’t sell those players, we saw that with Salah when injured for a week. Add in the weak benches and people are struggling to field much more than 8 or 9 players with their dross included, or reverting to perhaps an ill advised FH.

                Going to be interesting if Chelsea and City go through 🙂

                1. Virgil Hilts
                  • 9 Years
                  8 years, 1 month ago

                  Think I will save FH and try and minimise any potential damage by planning ahead, benching players with equity and taking the odd hit to get something resembling a decent side out.

                  1. Hotdogs for Tea
                    • 10 Years
                    8 years, 1 month ago

                    Probably what I will do too

                  2. Jsadler95
                    • 9 Years
                    8 years, 1 month ago

                    Yeah I've just came up with a way to make sure I have 11 players out for GW28 in my worst case scenario (with Chelsea winning and Man City winning). It would require me to do Sterling > Alli/Eriksen/Son GW27 and then Aguero, Alonso > Spurs def, Firmino GW28. Would leave me with this squad for GW28

                    Pope
                    Spurs Def, Van Dijk, Bardsley
                    Salah, Son/Alli/Eriksen, Arnautovic, Carroll
                    Firmino, Kane, Wilson

                    Adrian; Lingard, Otamendi, Jones

                    Would only lose 0.2 value as well so should be able to get them all back as well as I have 0.2 itb, but whether I'd want to who knows.

              Value loss is the concern. But not too bad as I'm only above 0.2 deep in 2 of the 4 so I will try to plan.

            You only need to sell 3 for a full team, and you'll get FTs, and the choice of taking hits or simply fielding 10 men instead. No big trouble here, don't worry, just plan.

              I have 4, and would consider buying another if I really want one

          Do we think the end of Messi Lingard as an fpl option in sight? United probably signing someone and well it's not like Lingard was ever nailed long term.

            • 10 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            I think it was arguably too late to buy Lingard last week, the time was 5-6 weeks ago. Same thing happened with Richarlison, a few of us had him for his good stretch, then he became part of the template (and even a captaincy option one week, with a few people getting 2x1) and he fell out of fashion quickly.

              • 11 Years

              Yea agree, have had him for 3/4 weeks now and have been advising people not to bring him in before this gw.

            Glad I kept Zaha over getting Lingard for that extra one point this week 😀

            I think Lingard could still get returns but if Sanchez joins them his appearances could be more limited.

            If you want reliability below 7m I think West Ham is the way to go. Slightly annoyed I ignored them because I like both of Arnie and Lanzini as FPL options. Ironically I tried to not get caught up in the DGW which proved to be the right choice, but now realised they both have good fixtures.

          Have 2 frees and no other pressing concerns. Courtois and Kenny to Pickford and Alonso a no-brainer, right?

            Could you afford Arnau or Lanzini instead of Lingard? I know his form is fantastic, but Sanchez's possible arrival and immediate fixtures lessen his appeal a little. I could see United putting 3 in the centre with Pogba given license to roam against Spurs too

            • 10 Years

            People selling Lingard for a hit because they can't stand the sight of him in their team, then there's you, taking a hit to bring him in. #Maverick
