Spurs host Fulham in Blank Gameweek 18 as Villa fixture postponed

Fantasy Premier League have been subjected to yet another spin of the fixture-dice as Blank Gameweek 18 changes complexion once again.

Just over 24 hours before Tuesday’s 16:30 GMT deadline, Aston Villa’s meeting with Tottenham Hotspur was officially called off.

That means no midweek fixture for Jack Grealish (£7.7m), Ollie Watkins (£6.1m) and Emiliano Martínez (£5.1m), three popular Fantasy assets.

However, Harry Kane (£11.0m) and Son Heung-min (£9.8m) remain viable options for Blank Gameweek 18 as their home meeting with Fulham was added as a replacement for the Villa game.

Considering how short-notice the fixture is for the Cottagers, both of Spurs’ dynamic duo are certain to wrestle their way into the captaincy conversation.

They both registered double-figure hauls in their last home Premier League game, against Leeds, and could benefit from Fulham’s short turnaround.

Meanwhile, it also means that budget options such as André-Franck Zambo Anguissa (£4.5m) and Ademola Lookman (£5.0m) have been added to the pool of players who could help managers in Free Hit squads.

The secondary knock-on effect of today’s fixture changes also impacts on Double Gameweek 19.

That is because Fulham’s Friday-night meeting with Chelsea has been delayed until the following day, kicking off at 17:30 GMT now.

As this was the opening match of Double Gameweek 19, it looks as if the deadline for that round will move to 11:00 GMT on Saturday morning ahead of Wolves’ lunch-time meeting with West Bromwich Albion.

    Is it 'safe enough' to pull FH trigger already?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Never safe enough

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years

      1st draft FH team: GTG?

      DDG
      Dias Dier Holding
      Foden KDB Rashford Bruno Son
      Kane Wilson

      Forster Brewster Mitchell Kilman

        Looks good to me mate

  2. yalala

    Gundogan or Foden?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Neither

  3. Mufc202020
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone think Kilman has a chance of playing? Is it worth taking a hit to bring in someone else who is defo playing for the BGW? Currently have 9 players which includes Kilman

    1. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Think he's back to fodder. Saiss, Coady preferred, and Boly almost back too.

    2. Sarri-ball
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes id get rid of any deadwood. -4 becomes a -2 aslong as plays. And sets you up better

  4. dsefton
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A or B for a WC:
    A)
    Areola (Meslier)
    Holding Dias Stones Yedlin (Coufal)
    KdB Bruno Son Rashford (Soucek)
    Kane Wilson (Bamford)

    Yedlin + Wilson --> Alioski + Antonio (-4) for DGW19

    B)
    Leno (Martinez)
    AWB Cancelo Dias Lowton (Coufal)
    KdB Bruno Son Rashford (Soucek)
    Laca Wilson (Bamford)

    Wilson --> Antonio (or similar) for DGW19

  5. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Any good WC drafts to share? It's so difficult.

    1. dsefton
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      two that I have been considering...
      A)
      Areola (Meslier)
      Holding Dias Stones Yedlin (Coufal)
      KdB Bruno Son Rashford (Soucek)
      Kane Wilson (Bamford)

      Yedlin + Wilson --> Alioski + Antonio (-4) for DGW19

      B)
      Leno (Martinez)
      AWB Cancelo Dias Lowton (Coufal)
      KdB Bruno Son Rashford (Soucek)
      Laca Wilson (Bamford)

      Wilson --> Antonio (or similar) for DGW19

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        keepers are problem and salah. also the bb next week is really difficult. too much to think with too little time

        1. dsefton
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          keepers not really a problem in B) - can always switch martinez for meslier etc if you're worried he won't play DGW19.
          mid of KdB, Bruno, Son, Rashford, Soucek should be strong enough to make up for no salah...

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      My WC

      De Gea (Martinez)
      Cancelo Dias Tierney Yedlin (Coufal)
      De Bruyne Son Fernandes Smith-Rowe (Soucek)
      Wilson Lacazette (Bamford)

      3.3m itb Son/Laca to Salah/Ings in 19, play Tierney as my only single GW player..

      1. dsefton
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        no BB, I assume? tempted to go this way also as easier to get salah in for 19...

        1. Warby84
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          The only way I would bench boost is to play 9 in GW18, and have Dallas/Antonio already in for Yedlin/Wilson

  6. Bennyboy1907
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    FH
    DDG
    Holding, Cancelo, Dier
    Son, Rashford, Bruno, KDB, Saka
    Kane, Wilson

    4.0, Yedlin, Brewster, Mitchell

    0.0 ITB, any changes?

  7. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    On a FH who scores more?

    A. Zaha Gundogan
    B. Saka Foden

    1. Nolberto Solano
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Foden unlikely to start, so A for me. Prefer Saka / Gundogan though

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B by a mile.

  8. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Sterling gonna play?

  9. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Any guesses at what Spurs' defence is gonna be? Aurier or Davies have a chance to start?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Just pick Dier. He's cheapest.

      I think it'll be Doherty Dier Alderweireld Reguilon

      Doherty might be Aurier depending on fitness.

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Reguilon for me

    2. Nolberto Solano
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Doherty played 90 in cup, so Aurier to come in. Davies played 70 in cup, so Reguilon to come in.

      1. JJeyy
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Doherty also got a red

        1. JJeyy
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          oh got used up already

  10. flashcheeks
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    FH GTG?

    Lloris
    Dias AWB Cancelo
    KDB Bruno Son Saka Neto
    Laca Kane

    Bench:
    Ramsdale, Brewster, Yedlin, Lowton

  11. AlpoShearer
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Martinez (Steer)
    CANCELO, DIAS, MITCHELL, Robertson, Justin
    KDB, SON, FERNANDES, Grealish, Soucek
    KANE, BREWSTER, Bamford

    GTG?
    FH?
    Or a hit maybe?

  12. upforgrabs
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A) Wilson
    or
    B) Reguilon
    on a FH

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

    2. Nolberto Solano
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wilson a doubt for Tuesday, I'd go B

  13. marcos11
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Best striker on a FH bar Kane? Need a Dcl replacement and could always switch again next week to someone else.

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Laca

      1. marcos11
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Reckon hed be worth keeping for gw19 against Newcastle also?

    2. upforgrabs
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Lacazette

    3. Silecro
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Martial

      1. marcos11
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Was thinking him but I already have Bruno and Rashford and I’m unsure of his minutes

  14. Apollo Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Darlow
    Cancelo, Stones, Tierney
    KDB (c), Bruno, Rashford, Son, Saka
    Kane, Wilson
    Bench: Peacock-Farrell, Brewster, Mitchell, Bernardo

    Thinking about Bernardo to Douglas for an extra 0.1 and then, to cover more fixtures, Stones to:
    A. Dier
    B. Saiss

  15. balint84
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Captain Laca or Kdb?

    1. marcos11
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Kdb

    2. royals forever
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      KDB

  16. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Yay or Nay for this FH team

    Areola

    Stones Maguire Saiss

    Son KDB Bruno Saka

    Kane Lacazette Wood

    Ryan Lookman Mitchell Fernandez

    Are there any changes that you make or is this G2G

  17. ResultatFar
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who scores the most point this gw?

    A) Kane and play Clark in def
    B) Wilson and Laca

    1. Apollo Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

  18. KUN_DE_BRU_YNE
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Saka or gundogan for 18&19 both ?

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Gundo

  19. Pepeye
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bookies Prem 20/21 odds - City 10/11, Pool 12/5, Utd 6-1, Spurs 14/1

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      City paying less than $1? Hows that work

  20. BullDogTevez
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What am I missing?

    Surely 18 WC 19BB is the way to go, no? Holding onto TC & FH?

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on your personal setup

    2. Hurricaneboyo
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm thinking the same as you.

    3. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’m WC but not sure on BB, think TC maybe my best option..

      1. BullDogTevez
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Aye this is a good option too, I can't see past WC 18. Who know's if there is some kind of circuit break or pause to the PL, maybe unlimited transfers could be an option again.

    4. Salan
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You are not alone.

  21. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Very mixed opinions on whether Foden will start, who is more nailed?

    A. Foden
    B. Gundogan

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Gundogan by mile

    2. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Probably Gundo more nailed, but Foden a higher reward

    3. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Gundo more nailed if that is the question.

      Foden more potential tho surley?

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Gundo more nailed. But Foden with higher potential.

  22. Stormbringer22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    5 goals in 3 appearances against Fulham for Kane. Thinking Kane(C) over KDB

  23. turd ferguson
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    football

  24. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    So heres the question?

    Who to captain
    A) KDB
    B) Kane
    C) Son
    D) Bruno
    E) Rash

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      E

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Could pay off but my least fave at mo.

    2. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I am leaning towards Kane as per the above post

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        My VC at mo

    3. umerlfc
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Between A B and C
      Classic case hish risk high reward scenario
      Kane or Son is a safer choice imo
      But going KDB might have a higher reward if it works out

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah currently on KDB

  25. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Chances of Foden playing this week?

    Played last prem game and scored. Played FA Cup and scored....
    But he's scored earlier in season and still been benched by the madman Pep!

  26. AdamJ91
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    0 FT; 2.9 ITB

    (Martinez*, Peacock Farrell*)
    Holding, Cancelo, Dier, Dias (Coufal*)
    Fernandes, Son, KDB, Anguissa (Raphina*)
    Kane (Watkins*, Bamford*)

    Have 9 BGW players, is it worth moving out Watkins for -4? If yes, who's looking a good replacement?

  27. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Any thoughts on this current FH line up - clearly there's a risk of postponements, but hopefully strongish bench should help:

    DDG
    Tierney Dier Cancelo
    Saka KDB Gundogan Fernandes Son
    Kane Lacazette
    Fraser || Sais || Yedlin || Brewster

    Struggling to fit Rashford in, but maybe Laca an unnecessary punt?

  28. McSauce
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Darlow first choice for Newcastle?

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      i reckon he keeps his place - not sure he's done much to lose it?

  29. Silecro
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is anyone besides me very suspect about Arsenal assets vs Palace? I mean, awful season for the entire team, leaky defence, very inconsistent attack, and basically game vs WBA is the only reason we talk about them, which is one game in 17 gameweeks. And 0-0 vs Newcastle in 90 minutes a couple of days ago shows they are capable at any moment to dissapoint.

  30. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Any Sterling news? My planned transfers were Salah + Adams -> Sterling + Wilson -4. Now it seems both my transfers in are doubts.
