Watchlist Update – Ryan rises after Brighton’s three clean sheets

As we approach Gameweek 11 of Fantasy Premier League we have got to work on updating our Watchlist.

It’s goalkeepers up first, with teams such as Brighton and West Ham began to get more attention for their budget options

Alisson (£5.6m) retains the top spot for another week even as Liverpool prepare for a trip to face Arsenal. After that, they still have home matches against Fulham and Everton as well as a trip to Burnley in Gameweek 15.

Ederson (£5.7m) has crept back above Kepa Arrizabalaga (£5.5m) but both goalkeepers are on the brink of reclaiming Favourable Fixture tags. Manchester City have some appealing home fixtures but they still face Manchester United and Chelsea in the next six Gameweeks. Maurizio Sarri’s men have excellent home matches before the defending champions come to Stamford Bridge in Gameweek 16, but they have to visit Spurs in Gameweek 13.

Mat Ryan (£4.5m) has risen to become the best of the rest after a third successive clean sheet recorded in Gameweek 10. The Brighton shot-stopper keeps his Favourable Fixtures tag on account of the fact that the Seagulls still sit top of the Season Ticker defence section for the next six Gameweeks.

Lukasz Fabianski (£4.5m) is up next with West Ham’s fixtures particularly appealing over the next six Gameweeks. Burnley and Huddersfield are the Hammers’ next two opponents and home matches against Cardiff and Crystal Palace are also on the horizon.

Kasper Schmeichel (£5.0m) comes in at sixth place although there is understandably some uncertainty over what future Gameweeks will hold for him. There had been suggestions that Leicester’s trip to Cardiff City this weekend would be postponed although it weas confirmed to be going ahead as planned on Tuesday.

Rui Patricio (£4.6m) has dropped several places following back-to-back clean sheet wipe-outs against favourable opponents. The next two matches look particularly tricky for Wolves with Spurs coming to Molineux in Gameweek 11 and a trip to Arsenal in Gameweek 12. However, it’s Huddersfield and Cardiff after that.

Martin Dubravka (£5.0m) remains at the lower end of the scale although he did register a first clean sheet since Gameweek 6 last time out. The Magpies could prove a source of defensive points as their run is, on paper, quite favourable.

Jordan Pickford (£4.9m) and Ben Foster (£4.5m) bring up the rear with their fixtures a little mixed. The Everton man could be used in a rotation as the Toffees have favourable opponents coming to Goodison Park between now and Gameweek 16 while their away trips are rather difficult. Foster has Unfavourable Fixtures attached to him as Watford must host Liverpool and Manchester City between now and Gameweek 15.

    Hart
    Laporte Alonso Tripper
    Salah Seri Hazard Barkley Maddison
    Wilson Aguero

    Bench: Robertson, Wan Bissaka, fodder

    Question: Am I right to bench Robertson over either Seri or Wilson? I know Seri and Fulham are poor (he's my fifth mid) but he's also against Huddersfield...

    1. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I would not be benching Robertson against anyone

        This

    2. Ha.
      • 8 Years

      I wouldn't

        I would

      • Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I'd play Robbo and drop Seri. Fulham look done and his stats are poor.

    4. Erez Avni
      • 7 Years

      would love to hear your thoughts...

      Ederson (Hamer)
      Alonso TAA Duffy (Wan Bennet)
      Hazard Salah Pereyra Fraser Maddison
      Kun Mitro (Jimenez)

      A. TAA & Fraser out for Balbuena & Siggy (-4).
      B. maddison & mitro for Arnie & Richa (-4).
      C. Mitro out Arnie in.

      cheers!

      1. Distinctly Average
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Not sure I'd do A.

        Don't think B is worth a -4, but both look like good moves.

        C looks sensible, but both have decent fixtures this week

        Option D: hold?

        1. Erez Avni
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          thanks man, maybe just c then...

      2. Fulchester's New Centr…

        D

    5. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      5 years, 6 months ago

      Looking to do Mitro, Bennett > Success, Mendy -4. Should I:

      A) Do it this GW

      B) Do it next GW, allowing me to hold Mitro for hud but will cost me an extra 0.3. Will do Hennessey > Fab instead this GW

      1. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Success to be fodder? I got him in last week and got lucky with his goal. If so looks good.

      2. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Depends on how well you can afford the 0.3. I've got Success in as fodder. Although he has only started last 2 has been involved in pretty much every game and looks to be Watford's future. Could be golden if he nails his spot.

    6. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      If you have the big four in defense (TRAM) and have to pick one of these, who would you get?

      A. Laporte + Murphy ( 5-3-2 with Murphy mostly benched).

      B. Doherty + Fraser ( Both rotated depending on fixtures).

      1. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Why not just have AWB as your 5th def and spend the cash elsewhere?

        1. King Kohli
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Don't see much value in mid priced mids.

          1. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            The TRAM is already a big outlay

        2. Play Pal
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          This, 5 at the back would be big neglect for midfield and forwards. If you want additional city defense then possibly Ederson

    7. Distinctly Average
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Torn between which of these is best:

      A) Mendy + Hughes
      B) Laporte + Deulofeu

      I know it's old news, but I can't ignore Mendy's performance on Monday. He looked terrible, coupled with the fact that surely Pep will have a few words for him about his swing at Lamela.

      Thoughts?

      1. danishdynamite
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I like, and have, Mendy but I agree that he’s a bit of a liability.

        So, B, just

      2. Play Pal
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        A

      3. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        B. Deulo much better pick than Hughes and Laporte for consistency.

      4. Shineonme
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I think mendy will be dropped sat and sane will play.

    8. danishdynamite
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      WC draft

      I plan to WC around 15-16, and am tempted to go balls out, which involves no Liverpool attack

      They sit bottom of the ticker for this period (6 games) and while I think that’s a bit misleading, in the games where I might have considered (C)ing I have ample cover.

      Still, no Salah or Mane.

      Is this too crazy?

      1. Ha.
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I will be doing the same - don't think it's silly at all

        1. danishdynamite
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Oh blimey. Not just me then.

          Do you plan on having any LIV cover? I’m toying with Milner if he’s back, but by the time he’s back Fabinho could well have nailed his spot

          1. Ha.
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Probably not, but I'll make sure I'm only 2FT away from bringing them in if needed

            1. danishdynamite
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Yeah, that’s my plan too.

              I’ll have Kane & KDB/Mahrez

              One hit and it’s back to Salah+Kun

      2. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I don't think you can make too many decisions like that this far in advance. They certainly aren't bottom of the ticker from 16 but I'm sure that you'll be able to make a better and informed judgment by then.

      3. MTPockets
          5 years, 6 months ago

          They're not bottom of the ticker esp for attackers, and I wouldn't, but guess it could work.

          1. danishdynamite
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            6 games from GW16 they’re bottom. (I tend to plan over 6gw’s)

            But it’s misleading cos it’s Liverpool and they could always score. (In salah’s case, score the winning goal and get no BAPs)

            1. Now I'm Panicking
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              I would only plan until GW19 as you will probably be forced to play your 2nd WC GW20 with no Liverpool 😉 😛

            2. MTPockets
                5 years, 6 months ago

                I don't agree but obv a valid approach if can find better alternatives over the period (eg. form pickup for whu, tot, mun)

          2. Play Pal
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah its crazy, Salah and Mane are capable of scoring against anyone

          3. Vobinho
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            I'm WCing that time too, and admire your bravery!

            Imagine the differentials and rank jump if you ditched Salah, Mane and Kun as premium assets for Kane Auba and Ozil.

            Spurs & Arsenal have great fixtures - and if Liverpool do go defensive over a difficult run of fixtures, it could be great!

            Season over if it fails though...

            1. danishdynamite
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Yeah, there is that

          WOW! What to do??

          A) Knockaert > Murphy/Deleoufeu
          B)King, AWB > Kamara, Mendy -4
          C) Save

          1FT. 0.1ITB

          Kepa
          Alonso, Robbo, Doherty
          Salah, Hazard, Rich, Billing
          Aguero, Arnie, King

          Hamar, Knockaert, AWB, Peltier.

        • wildnothing
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          What to do with this to defend ranking?

          Alisson 4.0
          Doherty TAA Balbuena Mendy AWB
          Kenedy Hazard Salah Sterling Murphy
          Agüero Mitrovic Jimenez

          2 ft 0.4 itb.

          I'm thinking of doing Alisson/Jimenez to Fabianski/Arnautovic and next week Sterling to Mané.

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            I'd keep sterling

            1. wildnothing
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              I might transfer out Agüero instead after this gw and do Kenedy to Mané.

          2. Patch
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Agree with your thoughts but next week perhaps shift out Mitro

            Not tempted by Ryan? It's not like you have Duffy

            1. Patch
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Whereas you already have Balbuena

              1. wildnothing
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                Yeah I don't like the double up on West Ham defence but if I choose Fabianski I can have him as set and forget for a long time. Ryan has 'only' six good fixtures left but only two of these are at home. I don't see him keep getting these clean sheet.

        • JBG
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          TAA and Wilson for Balbuena and Arnie
          or
          TAA and Ihenacho for Balbuena and Murray??

          1. Ha.
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Latter

            1. JBG
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Or maybe just keep Ihenacho(considering they are playing a woeful Cardiff side) and Wilson. And just do TAA to Balbuena?

              1. Ha.
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                Losing Iheanacho was the main reason I opted for that one!

                May just do the defensive transfer this week and then find a way to squeeze in Arnie for Ihenacho

                1. JBG
                  • 6 Years
                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  Yeah kinda thinking the same and I feel like Wilson(or Bourne in general) won't do that well against Man Utd and Arsenal.

                  I'll wait and see i'll guess. Thanks for your input HA.

        • Erez Avni
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          A strategic question ...

          I lead my ML.
          The guy in second place will Captain Hazard (doesn't own Aguero)
          I have Aguero and Hazzard, so who should I captain?

          A. kun.
          B. Hazard.

          1. Now I'm Panicking
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Captain who you think will score most points. Far too early in the season to worry about what rivals are doing.

            1. Erez Avni
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              maybe you're right

              1. Krionos
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                This is always the right answer. No matter what time in the season.

                1. Eddie
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 11 Years
                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  Right at the death it can factor if you want to tie up a mini league.

            2. SADIO SANÉ
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              how do you actually decide who you think will score more points between them two?

              1. Now I'm Panicking
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                How do you make any decisions (unless your name is Scotty B)

                1. SADIO SANÉ
                  • 8 Years
                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  I assume they will both score similarly so just captain the one with the highest EO (if I can predict that).

                  Other decisions, like potentially swapping Mitro -> Murray next week, are based on fixtures and who has scored better recently, so those decisions are a bit easier to make.

          Any suggestion what to do with this team? I am reasonably happy with it but burning a free transfer seems like sacrilege.

          2FT and £0.0 in the bank.

                Looks like Hazard will be fine (according to Zola) but I guess is still a slight doubt

                Arnie still waiting on an update but it was 'only' illness so you think he would recover in time

                Wait for news in press conference

        • el polako
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Im really tempted to ignore price tag and captain Arnautovic this week - obviously only if confirmed 100% fit.

          1. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            I'm bringing Arnie in (assuming fit) and captaining Kun.

            Arnie could easily haul though.

            Who are your other options?

            1. el polako

              Haz & Mo.

                I would captain Hazard FWIW

                  It is solid pick but 2 thing worrying me slightly:
                  - we dont know how bad was his back injury & if it can reoccour.
                  - Crystal Palace can sometimes put up a real fight against big teams, especially in derby match.

                Hazard is the real worry for me this gameweek. 2 goals and you're looking at 15 points, which is very possible I think and hard for Aguero or Arnie to match.

                Aguero gets subbed early and City score so many that BPS and points are shared quite often. With Arnie I am a little worried it's more than just the flu, but could be a great differential pick if he starts as he is also central to West Ham's attacking output.

                I'm on Aguero FWIW, but feel like Hazard could do the damage this week. He's unstoppable at home and hogs those Baps.

              Was being an idiot!

              The +/- is how they’ve done in relation to their xg

              So a plus means they beat their xg and a minus they didn’t meet it

              Simple

              This game will be interesting and could bring out the best in some of the Leicester players. Especially the long serving ones like Vardy. Maybe Maddison can also benefit from this situation, so he is my pick!

                Not sure what's boring about saving it for the higher points potential 😀

                  because most people on here will be TCing the exact same player

                  1. Pierce34
                    • 8 Years
                    5 years, 6 months ago

                    You only have to look back a couple of years to people who triple captain Negredo or Andy Carroll to realise that's not true 😀

                    But even if we all did TC the same player - I'm fine with that as long as it's the one with the higher points potential. Aguero/Hazard/Salah in 2 matches is far more exciting than any of them in 1.

                    1. SADIO SANÉ
                      • 8 Years
                      5 years, 6 months ago

                      😀 yeah true, think I captained Negredo, but not TC 😀

                      meh, if it's also a player that most people are also normal-captaining anyway (let's say Aguero) then you are only getting one more set of points as them too - which is probably 20 at best. That being said, putting it on a differential in a DGW (when there is a standout captain/tc) is the best and most exciting way of playing it.

                      1. Pierce34
                        • 8 Years
                        5 years, 6 months ago

                        What you have to remember is that a lot of players (not necessarily on here) above you in the rankings will have already played (and likely failed with) their TC chip in a SGW. So it's still an advantage, even if it looks like the 'obvious' candidate.

                        I do agree that in the grand scheme of things the chip doesn't get you that many points - the bench boost and free hit are the more lucrative ones.

                      5 years, 6 months ago

                      Last year there was so much uncertainty surrounding form and rotation leading up to the DGW that I remember thinking that if I had an in form player who I knew was going to play against a very weak side I would prefer to use the TC then and not wait for a unknown. Using it outside a DGW would also free up the use of FH or WC on or the DGW itself rather than before allowing a little more flexibility and less conformity to whatever else will be doing.

                      I'll be saving it though, cause I'm boring.

              5 years, 6 months ago

              The lure of Salah, Haz, Kane, or Kun in a DGW is just too strong - my TC has never really pulled in a massive, bonkers haul (like a player going 17-17 for 112 points) - but it's only been available for the last three seasons, i think there's a DGW monster Triple Captain coming up this year. If not this year, then maybe next lol

                • 8 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                I mean, back to back hat-tricks are even more unlikely than single hat-tricks, but of course the beauty of the DGW is that we can easily get 20+ point hauls without the TC doing anything particularly improbable. (e.g. Hazard going for 2 goals and 1 assist over 2 matches can easily be a 23-24 point haul)

                Also an option.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              I can see the temptation and it worked out for captainers of Aguero in GW 2 and Hazard in GW 5.

              But the odds of one of these mega hauls are quite slim and you have to be really lucky to get it right.

              Therefore I will 100% keep the TC chip for a DGW, where you basically double the odds of coming out on top.

          5. Pablo Escoballs
            • 5 Years

            Last 3 seasons Ive used on DGW and yet to have a success. I know the chances are doubled but Fulham possibly have the worst defence ever to get in the prem

            1. Fulchester's New Centr…
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              This is true, but keeping options open "should" make it worth the wait overall.

              • 8 Years

                Probably wouldn't hit me if it did

              C comfortably. Watford are a good side.

            VVD Robertson Alonso
            Fraser Hazard Salah Richarlison
            Mitrovic Aguero Jimenez

            (Hamer, Doherty, AWB, Obiang)

            Wanted to do VVD and Mitrovic too Mendy and Arnautovic but I’m 0.4 off 🙁

            Any suggestions?

            hazard mane sterling fraser richarlison
            lacazette wilson ings

            2 FT 0 itb

            A) lacazette and trippier -> aguero and 4.5 defender maybe yedlin
            B) lacazette and boly -> arnautovic and mendy
            C) lacazette and ings-> arnautovic and mitrovic
            D) other suggestion

              B looks good.

            Made my transfers early this week but not early enough to avoid a price drop. Forced me to pick up Laporte over Mendy. Hope that doesn't come back to bite me!

              Laporte is going under the radar, somewhat. He should be consistent 6 pointer going forward
              *Mendy owner

            2. St. Joseph
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Laporte could be a good pick though,
              Im currently considering laporte because lack of money..
              A) wilson & mendy
              Or
              B) arnie & laporte

                Yeah same dilemma. I went Arnie + Laporte.

            • 7 Years

            1 FT and 1.8 ITB with the following team:

            Patricio / Hamer
            Alonso Robertson Trippier / Bennett AWB
            Hazard Mane KDB Richarlison / Hojbjerg
            Vardy Mitrovic Wilson

            A) Patricio -> Ederson
            B) Trippier -> Mendy
            C) Both for -4

            1. GunSlinger07
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Both

          12. Doctor Evil
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Any changes needed?

            Fab/(Patricio)
            Mendy/Alonso/Robbo/Trippier/(Wan B)
            Hazard/Mane/Richarlison/(Fraser/Kante)
            Aguero/Arnie/Mitro

              • 6 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Maybe Trippier out for cheaper defender? Spurs aren't that good at the moment.

            If Barkley gets less minutes than Kovacic tonight then he's coming straight in for Fraser.. I've seen enough
