This weekend’s set of fixtures precedes the first Double Gameweek of 2019/20 and there is much for Fantasy managers to ponder as we approach what could be a pivotal couple of weeks in many of our seasons.

With two Fantasy Premier League deadlines to negotiate in the space of 79 hours, we take a look at the data available in our Members’ Area and present the eye-catching stats that may be of interest.

We’ve run down the stand-out figures in every position, as well as looking at the strengths and weaknesses of various teams to assess which Fantasy Premier League assets could shine in Gameweek 23 and beyond.

    Any pressers tomorrow?

    1. Everyone who wasn't today

    2. Rhinos

      6 years, 1 month ago

      No they're delaying them till Saturday as all the mamagers are going on a day trip to Alton Towers

      1. FCSB

        6 years, 1 month ago

        Alton Towers is closed for winter break

          I prefer chessington world of adventures 🙂

    Right I need help...

    Got 2 Liverpool players, Gomez and Mané, and want a third before the double game week. Current squad is:

    Gazzaniga
    Aurier Gomez Soyuncu
    Mané KDB Martial Maddison
    Vardy Rashford Abraham

    McGovern; Cantwell Rico Lundstram

    I have 2 FTs and 0.7 ITB. Should I do:

    A - Rashford to Firmino
    B - Try to get either TAA or Salah by taking a hit elsewhere

    1. Kuzser
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A sounds good as you still have ManU cover and get a 3rd Liv player

    2. A-L
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Firmino is an away match performer and has 2 aways in the dgw so worth a differential shout

  3. Kuzser
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    What is the best strategy here guys?
    1ft, 0.7itb

    Already have taa and mane, but no ManU assets

    1) Gw24: Rico Grealish Jimenez-> VVD Martial Greenwood for -4
    2) gw24: Grealish Jimenez -> Fleck FIRMINO (with an option to get Salah for gw26)
    3) gw23: Jimenez-> Maupay, gw24: Rico-> VVD
    4) gw24: Rico Alli -> GOMEZ Martial
    5) gw24: Rico Grealish-> ROBBO Hayden

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…

    2. Webster Sarr
    3. Dunk DCL

      1. FCSB
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks mate, just can’t afford Dunk with him

  5. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
    • 14 Years

    Who's looking better, Maupay or DCL?
    Haven't seen either team recently

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…

      Dom

    2. FCSB
      • 10 Years

      neither convincing

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        who is convincing in that price range?

        1. FCSB
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Greenwood, if he was starting haha

    3. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      DCL has better stats

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I'm not convinced

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          Have you looked at them?

          1. Dthinger
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            not, but I was just riffing on the "neither convincing" comment fro above. I'm not really looking to be convinced.

    5. FPL Mentor

      • 10 Years

      Prefer Maupy out of the two. But then I think I'd prefer Jahanbakhsh in mid over Maupy.

    6. sentz05
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Martinelli

  6. Ange Ball
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Will Rashford drop tonight? I was holding Sterling would drop first

    1. Ange Ball
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      hoping not holding*

      1. FCSB
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        rashford will drop, sterling maybe not

    2. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Doubt it. High profile in form players don't drop much

  7. korbendallas82
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Jesus, Marez and De Bruyne on wc?

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      jesus is a daft pick, the other 2 look good

      1. korbendallas82
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        jesus im a bit unsure. Depends on wich mids i go for. thanks.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 8 Years

      Do not let Jesus into your life

      1. korbendallas82

        Ok, thanks.

  8. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    few queries with some of my players with price changes imminent, what move(s) would you recommend?

    Rico looks to be dropping soon - move to stephens? or Williams (prefer Saints)
    Guaita to McCarthy - waste of a transfer? after city game fixtures are good for both
    Rashford to Firmino - I can cop todays price drop but maybe not Firmino rise depending on other transfer, so do i still make the move this week or wait til gw24

    i have 2FT with no cash. Have TAA Salah

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t do double SOU defenders?

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        would you keep Guiata for saves and get stephens? doesn't free up cash but he's starting and means I can rotate with Soyuncu

    2. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      With 2FT, I’d do Rico > Stephens and Rash > Firmino
      I’ve been tossing up the same guaita move but think I’ll keep. If you need the cash you could do that one next week.

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        cheers. yep ideally i'd want 2 transfers for gw24 but not too fussed. Short turn around may mean Rashford doesn't play both games who knows

      2. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        just looked at palace. they've only conceded more than 2 goals in a game once (Spurs away). City could run riot but it's just one game. I reckon i'll keep Guaita until WC

  9. FantasyHero
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Hello all
    Is it worth it to do :
    Kelly and rico -> holgate and Williams for -4?
    Rest of my team for this week:

    Gazzazinga
    Lundstrom TAA Gomez
    Grealish kdb mane Cantwell
    Aguero vardy maupay
    Bench: martial rico Kelly

    1. FPL Mentor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nah

    2. Kitsune
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No way

    3. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A hit for 2 bench players? Ludicrous.

  10. josepe
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ryan (pope)
    TAA Soyuncu Lundstram (Tomori Williams)
    Mane KDB Martial Maddison (Shelvey)
    Rashford Vardy Ings

    a) Rash & Maddison -> Salah & Greenwood (only way to get salah for double gw)
    b) Rash & Martial -> Aguero & Cantwell (captain aguero this week)

    1. FPL Mentor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Coys96

      A

  11. FPL Mentor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Any moves needed here?

    Pope
    TAA Söyuncu Robbo
    Salah KDB Cantwell Traore
    Vardy(C) Ings Jimènez

    Button / Martial / Lundstram / Kelly

    1FT and 0 itb

    1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'd try and lose wolves before the fixtures turn but could wait until next week

      1. FPL Mentor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Do we think Traore will be fit? I heard talk of an injury from the Utd game.

        Not much in the bank to upgrade him.

        Would have to do something like..

        Traore & Pope 》 Jahanbakhsh & McCarthy or a another mid 5.6 or under.

        Not so sure its worth it

  12. AC Pilkington
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    If I bought Rashford at 9.1m and he does fall in price tonight will I lose a whole 0.1 on him or would it take two drops to lose value?

    1. J âš’ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You lose 100% of drops, gain 50% of rises.

      1. J âš’ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        You will lose*

      2. AC Pilkington
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks mate

  13. AC Pilkington
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Just realised that because Firmino is rising and Rashford is dropping my Liverpool plan could be scuppered.

    Do I just do Rashford to Firmino now or wait for presser?

    1. YEAH PITCH!
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Do it

    2. Vman
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Go for it

    3. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      like me if price is a factor do it now
      Burnley game for Rashford is short turnaround so no guarantee Rashford recovers in time

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Do it now if you want Firmino. But I think he's a trap. Salah + Mane for me.

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        he's on track for yet another 180 point season, 25 bonus points etc
        not as explosive as others but 3m cheaper and has great teeth

  14. Vman
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    G2g?
    McCarthy
    Holgate TAA Lundstram
    Mahrez Mane Kdb Richarlison
    Vardy Firmino Ings

    Martin-Rico-Dendo-Kelly

    1. Pukkipartyy

      Gtg, very nice.

    2. Coys96

      Great team

      1. Vman
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Swapped Rash to Firmino

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Fantastic team

      1. Vman
        • 12 Years

        Cheers and goid luck to you also.

  15. AC Pilkington
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Does Firmino rise tonight or do you think he might survive it?

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      i think he rises. i can take a Rashford drop but not a Firmino rise so probably not going to risk it myself

    2. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Survive

    3. Mr Bird
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      doubtful

  16. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    1/ Doucore and Sarr
    2/ Mahrez and Deeney

    Which pair looks best?

    1. Vman
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      2 for me all day

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      agree on 2 - it's not really comparable
      Sarr v Deeney even
      Mahrez >>> Doucore

  17. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    lol I have 6.9m in the bank this week. Perez > Salah worth -4?

    1. Rinseboy
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      what transfer you done bro?! wow

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Rashford > DCL.

        Prevents a price drop, and I was going to do this transfer next week anyway.

    2. Rinseboy
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Perez has Burnley and his scores have mainly come.away from home!

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Very well. I'll keep.

        1. Rinseboy
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          quick bit of advice pls Camz!

          bench one of Perez Cantwell or Martial?

          1. Vman
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Perez

    3. Vman
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wait until next week and do for free

  21. EL tridente
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Good moves?
    Rashford and Traore to Ings and Richarlison?

    1. Vman
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes definately
      Rash on injury watch
      Traore fixtures change for the worse

  22. Harper_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I will probably WC next week but I have 2 FTs to spend, £0.3 itb

    What 2 players would you bring in and for who for a one week punt only?

    GKP: Henderson (Martin)
    DEF: Söyüncü, Alexander-Arnold, Lundstram (Rico) (Kelly)
    MID: Mané, Grealish, De Bruyne, Salah, Maddison
    FWD: Calvert-Lewin, Vardy (Connolly)

    1. valurth
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Why WC, team looks fine.
      Soy > Holgate
      Rico > cheap playing defender

      Next week Maddison > Martial

      1. Harper_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I'm quite bored with my team, played the WC around the DGWs past 3 seasons and it had limited success, would rather try something different this year.

        Wildcards are overrated anyway

  23. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Do you reckon Williams will take Shaw's spot going forward ?

  24. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    If going Rashford > Greenwood and changing to 3-5-2 which option is best
    In 24?
    1. Maddison > Mane
    2. Rico,Cantwell > Williams,Mane -4

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      2 i think

  25. LloristheHounds
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Rico going to play this Gw?

    1. FCSB
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      According to Bournemouth fan forum he was carrying a little injury last weekend and he will play for sure this weekend, he is in all their lineups

      1. LloristheHounds
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks mate

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      proverbial 6 pointer vs Norwich
      probably end 0-0

  26. Rider on the Storm
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Best choice?
    A taa, maddison, jimenez
    B gomez, cantwell/noble, aguero and 4pt hit

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

  27. MarcusAurelius
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    On a wildcard this week. Which option is best for next few game weeks?

    A) Martial
    B) Maddison

    Martial
    GW 23 - LIV (A)
    GW 24 - BUR (H)
    GW 25 - WOL (H)
