In the first part of this week’s set pieces article we have uncovered some interesting match-ups for Gameweek 4.

We’ve managed to uncover the fact that the side to have conceded the most attempts from dead ball situations in the first three Gameweeks will be facing the striker with the most shots from them – the stuff of Fantasy Football dreams.

Fantasy Football Scout members can view the data both in the Members Area and in the article below, where we go into a bit more detail.

    Will Gündogan play the next few weeks?

      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Unknown but looks nailed ish especially with kdb out. Cheap, obviously doesn’t get too much in the way of attacking returns but could work out

      No one knows, ask pep

      More or less template so yep

      Very good team but benching headache every week

      1. Postman Ty
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        You know what's worse than choosing between two decent options... choosing between two crap options. People need to stop complaining about 'benching headaches', yet in the next breathe they'll complain about someone having no bench.

    Appreciate your thoughts on this lot:
    2FT 0.9m ITB
    Fab (Foster)
    VAA Robertson Mendy Wan-Biss (Walker-P)
    Salah BSilva Kante Kennedy (Richarlison)
    Augero King (Lacazette)

    A) VAA / Rich / Laca --> Alonso / Hazard / Kamara -4
    B) VAA / Rich / Laca --> Alonso / Moura / Mitro -4
    C) Rich / Laca --> Hazard / Jimenez

    1. johnnys balloons
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Laca probably starter this week so just change Richa and roll transfer for next gw. If you had Laca this long, give him another week and if he doesnt perfoorm, ship him

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        Laca may score but he is not taking a hit and Haz and Jimenez may score but Rich will definitely not score

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      I like C...
      nice team name too 😉

      1. fabregasismagic
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        Cheers, did C! I like Lacazette but I want to get Hazard in now.

  5. LSP
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    I went with Rich > Dilva instead of Walcott. Thoughts?

    Patricio
    AWB - Mendy - Robertson - Alonso
    Mkhi - Dilva - Mane - Salah (vc)
    Arnie - Aguero (c)

    0 ft, 0.00 ITB

    Hamer - Stephens - Kamara - Peltier

    1. Deus
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Good

    2. fabregasismagic
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Good choice

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Love Dilva and without KDB around his value is big to Pep

  6. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    humour me, what do you think of this far out team?

    Ederson
    Alonso Mendy Shaw
    Lucas Walcott Hazard Mkhitaryan
    Aubameyang Aguero Mitrovic

    Hamer Wan-Bissaka Neves Bennett

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Needs more Salah

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        im starting to come round to the fact it doesn't

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          Compare his early stats to last season - on track for another 300+

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 17 days ago

            This ^

        2. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          Until his captained hat trick and left trailing

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 17 days ago

            i will get him back gwk9

          2. Dynamic Duos
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 17 days ago

            can i ask aswel when are you (c) him?

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 17 days ago

              Could be late to the party by then if he storms games.
              Likely to captain Salah GW’s 6 & 8, with Kun for the rest like many others. Of course things could change though.

        3. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          I’d take Hazard over Aubameyang, but you’d think he’ll get off the mark v Cardiff!

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 17 days ago

            i have both in that team

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 17 Years
              8 years, 17 days ago

              Oh yes, sorry! Nice team. I have no problem passing on Liverpool attackers during their fixture run; I’m sure you know that they can still score 2 or 3.

              Hopefully, Aubameyang ends up giving you another captain option.

    2. fabregasismagic
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      I just don't trust Walcott

    3. I Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      It's good but I just can't fathom why you played your WC. 5k in the world with an excellent team and you've gone and used the most powerful chip in the game when absolutely nothing was wrong with your team.

      1. I Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        Now you've forced yourself into a massive decision of Salah or no Salah when you didn't have to.

      2. Dynamic Duos
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        because i have been here before and my team went stale, i just felt my structure wasn't quite right and i would end up making some wrong moves, i wanted Hazard in my team as another premium mid with Salah who at the moment i currently have, felt i had to much funds in my bench and didn't like my keepers.

        1. I Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          Fair enough. I think that's a great looking non-Salah team. Good luck.

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 17 days ago

            cheers and good luck to you

    4. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      just to clarify, i am a massive Liverpool fan and had a season ticket last year and Salah is absolutely awesome and he will definitely be in my team most of the season, if i dont just keep him now.

      the choices are Auba and Wally or Salah and Kamara

      1. I Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        Kamara doesn't start so that's not much of a choice.

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          yeh it would be wan-bissaka or Neves starting, i just think maybe for now, my team is stronger all around without him.

        2. Dynamic Duos
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          but he did start the first game.

    5. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      cheers for you input all, much appreciated

    7. FPL_adict
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Wow. i have the exact same team. Just one change - Hughes in place of Neves. Good luck!

  7. OPTA FPL

    Why was Guendouzi subbed off at HT last week?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Tactical. In the quest for goals.

    Wc next week?

    Patricio Hamer*

      What are the asterisks?

  9. Positive vibes
    • 10 Years

    Hi, who is better?
    A. Robbo, Moura
    B. Holebas, Dilva
    Ta.

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years

      A

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Robbo and Holebas fixtures are really rough tbh, but a if you must go one

    3. fabregasismagic

      A

  10. IRBOX ⚽

    Gtg?

    Ryan
    Alonso Mendy Robbo AWB
    Salah (vc) Hazard Mkhi Wally
    Kun (c) Zaha

    Button Jimenez Westwood Bennett

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      your team value must be high to afford that team?

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        102.3

        1. Pep says
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          101.8 I can also afford this team

    2. fabregasismagic
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      looks good

    3. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Mate, I'd play Jimenez over AWB easily. Wolves against the West Ham (non-existent) defense. Swallow benching the AWB haul if it comes around, but you can't bench a striker who's actually played quite well against a defense that's shipped 9-10 goals.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        Yeah that’s my dilemma this week mate. Probably will play Jimmy on second thoughts!

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      I’m 0.1 off affording that, good team imo

    5. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Nice team now
      Would have -
      Mitro over Zaha
      Fraser or Pedro over Wally (compare their stats)
      A better bench with the cash

  11. white lightning
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Any changes to my starting 11. 0ft & 0.0itb. Thanks:

    Foster
    Alonso, Mendy, Robertson, WB
    Salah, Mane, B, Silva, Walcott
    Aguero (c), Jimenez

    Boruc, Wilson, Shaw, Hughes

    I'm still weighing up WB v Shaw. I think if Tomkins is out I'll play Shaw.
    Read a player rating on Jimenez v Man City so I think he'll outscore Wilson. The author reckoned a brace is just around the corner for Jimenez & why not against a poor Hammers defense.

    Thoughts & thanks.

  12. Homo Neanderthalensis
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Who will return more points this weekend...

    Hazard or Aubameyang?

    1. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Neither

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        yeh i agree they will both score double figures

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          Doubtful

        2. fedolefan
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          I think I have you down as the favorite to win FPL this year.

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Haz maybe

    3. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      i flipped a coin, it said Hazard

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      How does Aubameyang cope vs teams that park the bus? He’s more a counter attacking threat isn’t he? Reckon we might see both Aubameyang and Lacazette v Cardiff.

      Hazard needs to return some decent points v Bournemouth and I’ll consider switching out Salah short term.

  13. lilmessipran
    • 14 Years

    Hello Dz, please pick one to bench this gw out of this lot

    A Fraser

    People getting rid of Mane now?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet

      After this GW maybe

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Nah, he’s good value.

    3. I Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Hazard in next week is my plan.

    4. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Like the idea of Mane > Hazard next GW. Will see how things pan out.

  15. OPTA FPL
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Arsena vs Cardiff:

    Cech Bellerin Sokrates Mustafi

    Torreira Xhaka

    Mkhi Ramsey Auba

    Lacazette

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Monreal LB

    2. I Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      No keeper and Cech at right back? Cardiff looking good for their first goal of the season.

      1. fedolefan

  16. Caleb's Kitties

    B. TAA arnautovic 4.4 mid

    Who is best option for GK under 5.0m?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Ryan, Patricio. Hennessey is not 100% nailed

  19. @Team Shark FC
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Currently has Mane, worth to get Hazard in this week?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      For free? Yes. Hit = no

      1. @Team Shark FC
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        Currently on WC

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          On WC - absolutely! Hazard could be gold for the next 3 weeks, Mane has stiffening fixtures and possible rotation with CL

          1. @Team Shark FC
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 17 days ago

            Right it does make sense. Really hope it will pays off if i make the switch.

            1. IRBOX ⚽
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 17 days ago

              FPL is al about these tough decisions! If you prefer Mane then stick with, however, I have made the swap this week for the reasons outlined

  20. Live Lad
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Play Neves or AWB?

    1. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Flip a coin - stats show AWB a marginally better choice this week.

    2. Caleb's Kitties
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      AWB

  21. Kai
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    What's the best 4.5 mid now?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      No magic beans like RLC! perhaps Westwood from Burnley

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      punt on Guendouzi

    3. lugs
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      if i were to pick one now it would probably be Mendy at leicester

    Thoughts on this team and does it need to be wildcarded yet??

    GK: Foster (Fabianski)
    DEF: Alonso, Robertson, Mendy, Van-Aanholt (Wan-Bissaka)
    MID: Salah, Mhkitaryan, B.Silva, Maddison (Cairney)
    FWD: Aguero, Arnuatovic (Ings)

    0.5M in the bank

    Cheers 🙂

      not this week, if Bilva blanks then you've enough reasons to WC.

      nah it doesn't need a WC , good team , but maybe downgrade PVA (since you already have WB) to a 4.5 and upgrade B.Silva to D.Silva

    Hi Guys, what do we think of my team?

    Pickford (Hart)

    Mendy/Alonso/TAA (Bellerin/ WB)

    Moura/Salah/Mkhit/Walcott (Stephans)

    Augero/Zaha/Arno

    Burning Questions;
    -Is Bellerin right to bench?
    -Should I get more Chelsea cover?

      Is Bellerin right to bench? No

      Nice team. I like Zaha's fixtures more than Arnautovic's. I am on WC and have an incredibly similiar team but I just don't feel comfortable leaving any of the trio (Walcott, Lucas and Mkhi) behind so I am taking all 3 and playing 3 5 2. GL!

      1. Caleb's Kitties
        • 11 Years

        0.1 short of zaha

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Pretty much my team except I have Robertson, Zaha, Jimenez and Westwood

      1. Caleb's Kitties
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        Sadly 0.3 short to match that

      Possibly look to Wilson instead of Arnie - you may need some spare funds for GW5 and GW6 which will have the first Champions League game sandwiched in between - strong chance Kun and Salah will have their minutes managed that week and your attacking bench is non-existent at the moment

        I mean for 8.5 sorry

        1. jon.terry.tfh
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          For 8.5, I think your only choices are Henn/Ryan + Hamer? lol

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 17 days ago

            Yep perhaps you're right

  29. jon.terry.tfh
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    1)Cech
    Wan-B/Bennett rotation
    Salah
    Zaha

    Or
    2) Ederson
    Monreal
    Mane
    Mitrovic/Wilson rotation
    ??Please help. On WC. Don't know if Salah justifies the extra outlay on Mane if I can improve the team around. Not sure how much I can trust Wan-B and Bennett over the next 2 games though (fixtures do like appealing though, Southampton and Burnely at home)

  30. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years

    Mitrovic or Zaha?

    1. jon.terry.tfh
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Mitro if he doesnt have the City away game at Gw5...on pens, free kicks and doesn't get as many yellow cards and get tackled. Still may end up with Zaha and switch him back to Mitro for GW 7 home vs watford

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years

      Zaha, fixtures are too good

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago
