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.

      A and B

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

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 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
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        How’s no Aguero working for you?

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      C is also the biggest rotation risk

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

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

    4. Green Arrow
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Cheers folks!

    5. conorbon
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

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

  2. Patch
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

      Certainly yes for the Group Stages

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

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

    3. Patch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

      Certainly

  3. 17legend85
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

      I think so. Man Utd are a shambles atm.

    2. conorbon
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 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!

    LMS over 3450 qualified for GW4.
    Scores need to qualify are 57, 54 and 35 last GW

    988-578 is the code.
    https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2018/07/20/the-last-man-standing-competition-4/ for other details.

    1. johnnys balloons
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      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
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

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

  5. RubberDucky
    7 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

      it's inaccurate

      1. RubberDucky
        7 years, 11 months ago

        The points or the benching?

        1. Feloh
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 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
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            It’s not crappy. You are

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

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

  6. Rhodes your boat

    Rmwct

    Lloris Hamer
    Alonso Mendy Robertson wan bissaka Bennett

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

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

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

      No.

      Ings should play. Only a blister....

      Peltier never a real option either

  8. Ghost86
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    What do you think of this move for -4?

    Richrlison & Firmino to

    Hazard & Ings

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

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

  9. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    is zaha fit to play or something has come up?

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 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.

  10. child of God
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Enough to cover a 4 point hit over Mané.

      12- goal and assist, no cs but 2 bps

  11. Partick Bateman

    Best MD < 9.2m over next 2 GWs?

    1. D Silva
    2. Alli
    3. Siggy
    4. Pedro
    5. Other

    1. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

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

      1. Partick Bateman
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

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

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

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

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        *they're

      Cheers all.

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

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

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        But I’d get Alonso regardless

    2. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

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

    3. Kun Tozser
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

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

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 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.

  13. Rash
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    How many have shipped Mané To hazard?

    1. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 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.

  14. Please Help I Don't Kn…
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Thoughts on this team?

    Patricio
    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
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Like it but no City Mid or Striker would worry me

  15. 21Owen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Kepa, Lloris or Alisson

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 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
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 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, 11 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, 11 months ago

      Ederson

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        +1

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

      Also have Chelsea two days later in the Cup

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        That game is for the reserves.

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 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.

  17. willl
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 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
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B

    2. conorbon
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      A

  18. Dannyb
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

      stupid imo.

    2. Green Arrow
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

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

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

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

  19. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

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

      1. Zilla
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 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
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Maddison won’t get more
      Points than the other 3

  20. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    just spotted Liverpool drawn with Chelsea in the EFL cup too.

  21. MysticMac17
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    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.

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      If I can average near 60 that be fine with me

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

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

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Hoping for a nice even 69

    4. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      65 average... good luck with that

    5. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

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

    6. conorbon
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

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

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

      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? 😀

      1. MysticMac17
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

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

    8. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      68 to be on the safe side.

  22. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Poch won't drop an in form player that the fans love

  23. Kuqi Monster
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    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?

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Don't overthink it. Alonso for sure.

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Play it simple. Alonso

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

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

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

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

  25. Up the tics
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    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

    1. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Nice

      1. Up the tics
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks mate

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

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

      1. Up the tics
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        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

    3. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      No Auba no party.

      1. Up the tics
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

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

    4. Brosstan
