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.

    Rashford to drop in price tonight?

    on 101% on FPL but only down 64% on FF Fix..

    1. Mo Salah No Mane
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Could easily drop

    2. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      If you need the .1 I would make the transfer, if not don’t worry about it but saying that I could see him dropping .1 or .2 this week anyway unless he plays.

  2. Keep Calm and Play On

    Evening all, any thoughts or changes to this squad?

    Ryan-Button
    TAA-VVD-Soy-Lund-Kelly
    Mane-KDB-Martial-Grealish-Cantwell
    Vardy-Tammy-Ings

    I have 2FT and 2.3itb.
    I’m 90% sure I’m going to go Tammy>Firmino for DGW which means VVD needs to go. Thinking VVD to Sidibe this week and next week I could make the call on if I want to keep Grealish/Martial/Cantwell/Kelly.

    Any other ideas of suggestions?

    1. YuvalFPL
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      tammy to cheap, grealish to salah? or son if not enough funds.

      1. Keep Calm and Play On
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        If I go VVD to Sidibe I could do Grealish to Salah and Tammy to 5.2

      2. woodles
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Doing exact move. Grealish to mane and Tammy to a 4.5 (probs greenwood). Leaves me with a very strong 442

    2. jacklfc88
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Tammy

    3. Dickie1898
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Tammy > Maupay to help fund Salah next week? Or you happy with Firmino?

      1. Keep Calm and Play On
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I think Firmino could be a good pick

        1. Dickie1898
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Same, can’t decide between Salah + Maupay/6.5 or Richarlison + Firmino

          1. Keep Calm and Play On
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Let’s go Firmino! Strength in numbers lol

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

    Good to go?

    McCarthy
    TAA, Pereira, Lundstram
    KDB(c), Salah, Richarlison, Grealish, Cantwell
    Vardy, Firmino

    Subs: Rico, Greenwood, Tomkins

    1. Mo Salah No Mane
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Gtg
      Maybe Greenwood ahead of Rico?

      1. Keep Calm and Play On
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yup I’d probably do that and it’s G2G

  4. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    salah captain 😎

    1. Mo Salah No Mane
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Brave

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

      Vardy for me

  5. Bobby_Baggio
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Evening all. What to do with 2FT. Use one or both? 0m ITB.

    Foster
    Soy - TAA - Lund
    Salah - KDB - Maddison - Martial
    Vardy - Jimenez - Ings

    (McGovern) Grealish - Rico - Kelly

    1. YuvalFPL
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      bring mane in probably

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

        Tough to do. Would prob need to make 3 transfers

        1. YuvalFPL
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          not owning mane gives me anxiety every weekend. god knows why I sold him...

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

            I know but thinking to do Kelly > VVD and Grealish > Bench fodder?

            1. YuvalFPL
              • 15 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              also good. I can just see these liverpool forwards running riot in the next month or so.

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

                Cheers

          2. jacklfc88
            • 15 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Haha have you got Salah?

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

              Yep

              1. jacklfc88
                • 15 Years
                6 years, 1 month ago

                K well if it makes you feel better our roles are pretty much reversed, my mate winning my mini league has Salah and I have Mane it's a horrible feeling haha

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

                  Lol

    2. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Who, if any is going to be your third pool player for GW 24?

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

        Considering defender over Mane

        1. Keep Calm and Play On
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          For Soy? If so I think you’d maybe need 2-3 transfers so I’d do one this week. Could be as simple as Kelly/Rico to Williams for some cash

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

            Or how about Kelly > VVD and Grealish > 4.3m bench

        2. jacklfc88
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Don't understand this. Bobby needs one assist across the two games to equal the one clean sheet they will get v West Ham, Wolves gave Liverpool the leg around at Anfield unlucky not to score and I fancy them to at Molineux.

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

            He's also a hell of alot more money tho

            1. jacklfc88
              • 15 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              For one DGW so what, I'm WC and saving 2 FT to bomb him out if Vardy's baby starts sleeping at night.

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

                I'm saving my WC for a rainy day so would rather make a educated decision. Make 3 transfers to get mane in or get 2nd pool defender for free

                1. jacklfc88
                  • 15 Years
                  6 years, 1 month ago

                  What if it doesn't rain?

      2. jacklfc88
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Bobby all day away from home giving it big guns eye patching big Davey Moyes back to obscurity

  6. YuvalFPL
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Maddison & Chilwell > Mane & Williams next gameweek.

    sensible moves?

    McCarthy Button
    TAA Chilwell Aurier Lundstram Kelly
    Salah KDB Martial Maddison Traore
    Vardy Jimenez Greenwood

    could even take my first hit of the season next week and sell Jimenez for Dings.

  7. kamdaraji
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Williams not nailed right?

    1. YuvalFPL
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      who knows, I’d take the punt he could be for 4.0m

    2. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Checked RedCafe earlier - 25% hadn’t heard of him. 25% of him thought they should sign TAA for the right back slot. Roughly 50% felt he was better than Shaw

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

        Atleast 50 % of them, with a sound mind.

    3. jia you
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      not nailed due to his age rather than his ability but will get game time, nice 5th defender pick!

  8. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Right to bench Traore here?

    Ryan
    TAA - Soy - Lundy
    Salah - Mane - Maddison - KDB
    Vardy - Ings - Maupay

    Button Traore Kelly Rico

    1. YuvalFPL
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      yep

    2. Cant fit my Willian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, we have similar teams and I'm doing the same. SOU defence looking considerably better than Burnley's.

      1. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers both

  9. Letsgo!
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Start vvd or aurier? or sell rash to firmino?

    1. jacklfc88
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      VvD

      No

      Ok?

  10. Hulk Smash
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A lot of questions about Cantwell. If you don't play him this week at home to a dreadful Bournemouth then you never will and you might as well downgrade him and pocket some cash. Great option this week.

    1. jia you
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Agree! He'd be one of the first names on my team sheet if I owned him, the uncertainty on here is ludicrous at times 😉

    2. jacklfc88
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Need for bench boost at some point hence buying two playing goalies as well

  11. Dickie1898
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Best combo medium term? (Own Mane)

    A) Salah + Maupay
    B) Richarlison + Firmino

    1. YuvalFPL
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A short term, don’t trust firmino FPL wise

      1. jacklfc88
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        How dare you

    2. jacklfc88
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      define medium term

      B

      1. Dickie1898
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Well over a moderate length of time, in fpl land beyond dgw24 lol. Just wanted to emphasise it wasn’t a straight shootout between Salah and Firmino for the double.

    3. jia you
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      3-4 GWs B)

  12. Reeker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Would you do Madison to Grealish or Rashford to DCL this week? This is funding for Mane. Both will happen before the DGW

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

      First one

  13. kamdaraji

    Congrats to all FPL players regardless of ranks. Thanks for playing and being part of the FPL community. It's so much fun here

    1. jia you

      Applause... pour yourself another drink

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years

      We have no use here for your good tidings and happy-go-lucky attitude...be gone!

      1. kamdaraji
        • 16 Years

        lol

  14. Tsparkes10

    For the first time in a while I'm v happy with my team and next 2 weeks. Sat at 380k, hopefully break into top 200k 🙂 GL lads

    1. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Also around 380k, good luck also.

    2. SAY MY NAME
      • 8 Years

      GL, but not too much, i'm not far ahead of you lol

  15. boroie
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Already have Gomez and Mane. Looking to get a third Liverpool player in. Which option is best?

    A - Rashford -> Firmino
    B - Rashford & Aurier -> Ings & TAA (-4)
    C - Rashford & Maddison -> Ayew & Salah

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

      C is for a -4 too

    2. jia you
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B looks worth a -8

    3. CunkOnFPL
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      C, if you plan to keep Malah afterwards
      A, if you want triple LIV for the DGW

  16. Murder On Zidane's Flo…
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Hi guys. Is it worth getting rid of Rashford for Ings for a 4pt hit?

    Ryan Button
    Trent Soyuncu Holgate Lund Rico
    Salah Mane KDB Sarr Hayden
    Vardy Rashford DCL

    1. jacklfc88
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No Hassenhuttl has said Ings might not play

      1. kamdaraji
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        source?

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Hasenhuttl on Ings: "It doesn't mean that he should play in the future every game. We have now again a tough schedule in the next week, Crystal Palace on Tuesday, we'll have a look. Especially our two strikers, they have to do a lot of running against the ball".

      2. Murder On Zidane's Flo…
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yes I just read it he's had a whole week to recover so should surely play this weekend I would hope lol. Damn you Rashford. My team was quite settled aswell

  17. CunkOnFPL
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    What to do with this mess to fund Mané in GW24:

    Ryan, McG
    Sidibé, Soy, TAA, Lund, Rico
    KDB, Mahrez, Martial, Salah, Traoré
    Ings, Jimi, Vardy?

    2FT, 0.5 ITB.
    Thanks in advance!

  18. jia you
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Maupay cappers unite...
    Ignore the eye test!
    Ignore the stats!!
    His time is now!!!
    🙂

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Dont do it.... From a Maupay owner.

      Main reason not to do it is that its Neil Maupay.

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Leopards can change their spots, can't they?

        1. _Ninja_
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Mate i hope you do it and he scores a hatty. Good luck.

          1. jia you
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            I'm definitely doing it mate so hope so too haha, cheers and GL

    2. SAY MY NAME
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      you did this with Pukki in gw2 or gw3 and it paid off, hope it works out for you 🙂

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yup, Pukki 34 pointer in GW2... would take that 😉

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      The temptation... Him or Cantwell :/

  19. De Gea is GOAT
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who to pick for a one week punt? Many thanks legends

    A) Son
    B) Sterling (Already have KDB)
    C) Richarlison
    D) Someone else?

    1. jia you
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      If you can Sterling for a one week punt...no brainer!

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez

    3. De Gea is GOAT
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      My exact thoughts Jia. Just worried he won't show up... yet again. But hey i have nothing to lose and he is due for a haul. I have a feeling Mahrez might be dropped this week. Thanks Sun.

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I'm bringing Mahrez in but Pep could still drop him even after that epic performance! Be weird if Sterling missed 3 league games on the bounce I feel but yeah make sure you have adequate cover!

        1. De Gea is GOAT
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Will do thanks Jia and GL to you!

        I just feel Sidibe/Digne and Firmino will outscore VVD and Tammy in the DGW

      VVD to Digne?

    Despite the benching headache situation, I'm loving my differential front 8:
    Mane Son Mahrez Richarlison Martial
    Firmino Ings Maupay

    Actually with owning the likes of Mahrez and Ings, it's probably not a bad thing to have cover for upcoming games!
    Sexy innit 😉

      Do you think Mahrez will start?

        Not 100% but would be harsh dropping him after that brilliant performance! Guessing he starts and gets a rest midweek away at SHU where I'll start Martial over him anyway.

    Does anyone use FF Fix?

    What’s it saying about Firmino and Rashford price changes?

    Is it normally accurate?

      No, not usually accurate

    How do you check what price you bought a player again?
