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.

    On a wildcard, pick two out of the three:
    A)Alonso
    B)Robertson
    C)Trippier

    A - Chelsea don't look like they'll be keeping a lot of CS this season. Sarri doesn't seem like the kind of manager who cares a lot about CS, and the back 4 with Luiz have been quite poor.
    B - Liverpool have terrible fixtures coming up, and they also have a difficult group in the CL.
    C - Seems to be taking a lot of the set-pieces, but isn't fully fit right now, and so far hasn't been playing as much far forward as the other two.

    1. Feloh
      • 9 Years

      A and B

      Number one FPL rule, always pick players that are nailed.

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I think Trippier will start a similar number of games to Robertson once we have UCL up and running.

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        How’s no Aguero working for you?

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      C is also the biggest rotation risk

    3. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A is the best. Toss up between the two others.

    4. Green Arrow
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Cheers folks!

    5. conorbon
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A- Will smash through assists and goals if not cs for rest of season

  2. Patch
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Will champions league draw benefit the likes of Hazard/ Chelsea and Arsenal/ Aub-Laca since they won't have the headache that supra, Man U, Liverpool and Man City face

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Certainly yes for the Group Stages

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Definitely. Chelsea and Arsenal assets more valuable for sure when the group stages start.

    3. Patch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Hazard trolled me last season, may wait till after IB

      Thinking of swapping Mane to Mhki for money ITB after IB

      Foolish ignoring Haz?

    4. Green Arrow
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Certainly

  3. 17legend85
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Is it worth ddg and bsilva out for 5mil keeper(cech) and hazard!
    For a hit!
    Is hazard really a must with his fixtures?

    1. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I think so. Man Utd are a shambles atm.

    2. conorbon
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Not for a hit. Save the transfer and do 2 free transfers for next gamesweek. Do NOT go with a Arsenal keeper, they look awful at the back!

      I am the one which was that last in your league with 35 points. Always was in the bottom in every GW

      1. TorresMagic™

        • Has Moderation Rights

        Nice work. Plenty of top scorers get eliminated the next GW.

  5. RubberDucky
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I see the RMT tool is telling me to bench King over Hughes, despite King having a higher points rating.

      Is it taking something else into c o consideration?

      1. Feloh
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        it's inaccurate

        1. RubberDucky
            7 years, 7 months ago

            The points or the benching?

            1. Feloh
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              not a member myself but I've seen people here in the same predicament as you. The RMT tool is crappy.

              1. Richd
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                It’s not crappy. You are

                  • 7 Years
                  7 years, 7 months ago

                  It's also saying I should bench AWB rather than Ings but AWB has higher points than Ings on it

              2. RubberDucky
                  7 years, 7 months ago

                  So what's the answer?
                  What do I go by?

            Pretty solid bunch, might to tricky to get a 2nd premium mid down the track.

        3. Teror
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Hmm. I've got Ings flagged, Cairney out, Peltier on the bench and used my FT on Richarlison. Is it time... to wildcard?

          1. Flynny
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            No.

            Ings should play. Only a blister....

            Peltier never a real option either

        4. Ghost86
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          What do you think of this move for -4?

          Richrlison & Firmino to

          Hazard & Ings

          1. Lone Wolf FPL
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            not sure as Ings is a risk and Firmino due a goal. A hit for that is risky imo

        5. Feloh
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          is zaha fit to play or something has come up?

          1. Lone Wolf FPL
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Not clear. Some personal stuff but not sure is it fo real or he just dont want to go for national team game.
            Wait for presser.

        6. child of God
          • 7 Years

          How many points do we think hazard will return Gw 4?

          1. Parm
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Enough to cover a 4 point hit over Mané.

            David Silva or Pedro, real toss up between them for me.

            1. Partick Bateman
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Cheers. The cash difference could be useful, but I do like David Silva.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            their probably all about the same. I went with Moura.

        8. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Think Ill drop Robertson for Alonso with that Liverpool group. Can see the first team being prioritized for the group games over easy PL games.

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Maybe, but I think Klopp will prioritise the Prem over CL

            1. The Bandit
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              But I’d get Alonso regardless

          2. Chucky
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            He's done well so far but i think it's time to get rid.. I can't see him getting more than one CS in next 5 games so i would definitely get Alonso...

            1. Brosstan
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Would be great to pick up another price rise first for the 0.1 profit.

          3. Kun Tozser
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Not think Alonso has been lucky and can’t sustain?

            1. Brosstan
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              He has overperformed for sure so far but he is just a great option the way hes playing. Chelsea no CL rotation increases his appeal a lot too.

        9. Rash
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          How many have shipped Mané To hazard?

          1. Dannyb
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            It's mane or Salah to Hazard for me. If i did Mane it wpuld have to be for a hit so I'm not sure wether to just risk it with Salah.

          Robertson-Mendy-Alonso-PVA
          Eriksen-Mane-Neves
          Zaha-Auba-Firmino

          Bench: Fabianksi, Fraser, Cedric, Romeu

          On a -4 atm, 0.7 itb

          Expensive defence I know, but what would you guys change with this team? Also who would you captain? Thanks all 🙂

          1. conorbon
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Like it but no City Mid or Striker would worry me

        11. 21Owen
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Kepa, Lloris or Alisson

          1. Dthinger
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            I have Alisson, but I'm not so sure any of those are the most cost-effective option

            1. 21Owen
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Don’t think I can trust 4.5m goalkeepers though. To inconsistent unless they have good rotation

              1. Dthinger
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                It's just that the three you asked about have dodgy fixtures coming up so none are great for a run

          2. Green Arrow
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Ederson

            1. Bobby Digital
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              +1

        12. FPL Maldini
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          If Liverpool play Napoli or PSG first I don’t think the Southampton home game looks as an attractive captaincy option for Salah

          1. FPL Maldini
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Also have Chelsea two days later in the Cup

            1. Woy of the Wovers
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              That game is for the reserves.

          2. I Member
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            The thing is it could be Mane or Firmino rested and not Salah. It would be a risk to captain him but an equally big risk to not captain him in case he starts.

        13. willl
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          What move to make:

          A) Bernardo Silva to Mkhi
          B) TAA to Doherty (would rotate with AWB, also own Robertson)

          1. 21Owen
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            B

          2. conorbon
            • 12 Years

        14. Dannyb

          7 years, 7 months ago

          Salah to Hazard stupid? I'm wildcarding in a few weeks anyway so won't be difficult to get him back if he starts really firing. Have Mane.

          1. olly:)
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            stupid imo.

          2. Green Arrow
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Not really. I think Hazard will the PL player of the season this time.

            1. Bobby Digital
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              I've seen all the games, not convinced. Went Sterling and Pedro instead.

        15. denial
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Really want Maddison but also want Walcott, Moura and Mhki. Can downgrade one of them to him I guess.

          1. I Member
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Have a look at Maddison's stats. Not impressive at all.

            1. Zilla
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              His stats in the championship were not good but he still scored and assisted a lot. And it's 3 GWs only.

          2. conorbon
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Maddison won’t get more
            Points than the other 3

        16. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          I posted this before the season started and I'll post it here again to remind you all.

          The average gameweek score required to win the entire FPL game in the last 3 seasons was 66.11 (2017/2018 season), 67.47 (2016/2017 season) and 64.68 (2015/2016 season).

          Whats your gameweek average you are hoping for this season? I am ambitiously hoping for a 65 average (wishful thinking). Just need to keep hits to a minimum and when using hits, using them wisely.

            If I can average near 60 that be fine with me

            Seeing I've just missed on 2470 twice, that a decent start depending on how easy captaincy and FPL in general is.

            Hoping for a nice even 69

            65 average... good luck with that

            Don't care what my average is - it's how much above average my average is that matters.

            Would be happy with a 55. I either break 60 or have 30 weeks

            If you are going to hope for a really unlikely average, why not hope for 68 so at least youre likely to win instead of 65 to narrowly lose? 😀

              Its wishful thinking as I said, don't think its impossible though.

            68 to be on the safe side.

          Lucas Moura is great and all that but Sonny will be back soon enough...

          Looking at shipping peltier for a hit. Can afford any defender (other premiums I have are Robbo and Mendy). Obvious pick is Alonso but Walker is tempting, thoughts?

            Don't overthink it. Alonso for sure.

            Play it simple. Alonso

          If Burnley get knocked out tonight is it sensible to get a Burnley defender on WC?

            Looks like their trash shots against stat is finally catching up to them.

          This is where I'm at with my wildcard. Thoughts please?

          Ryan - Hamer
          Alonso - Mendy - Robbo - AWB - 4.0
          Salah - Hazard - Mkhi - Lucas - 4.5
          Aguero - Jimenez - Wilson

            Not the worst team with 3 heavy hitters. A bit vulnerable to rotation though.

              Yeah 4.5 and 4.0 subs worries me but can't find a way around it. Was thinking of dropping robbo and upgrading 4.5mid

            No Auba no party.

              7 years, 7 months ago

              Personally I think 7.0 is enough invested in arsenal. Not sure another 4.0 give or take is worth auba

            Way too weak bench with so many rotation risks come CL group stages. Aguero, Mendy, Robbo, Salah, Lucas
