Az chats to Lateriser and Zophar ahead of FPL Gameweek 16

In the absence of both Andy and Mark, Az takes the reins in this week’s Premium Members video, which is a laid-back look at the key Fantasy Premier League (FPL) talking points ahead of Gameweek 16.

He is joined by Lateriser and Zophar, and this video sees all three managers nestled snugly inside the top 100k.

The trio discuss some of the key questions ahead of the deadline, including which Manchester United and West Ham assets to consider and their preferences within the Manchester City midfield.

They also look at the fixture swings for various teams, and we check out their teams ahead of Friday’s deadline, with two of the managers considering a captaincy that isn’t Mohamed Salah (£13.1m)…

      Lottery mate. Whichever one you pick needs a massive amount of good fortune

    2. fricky_
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Was thinking them 2 as well

    3. Home Late From Age
      • 8 Years

      Jacob Ramsey after this GW

  2. BlzE_94

    GTG? £3.7 ITB, no FT

    de Gea
    TAA Cancelo James
    Salah Jota B.Silva Bowen ESR
    Vardy King

    Steele Livramento Reguilon Locadia

    1. leeboy104
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Keep an eye out for the pressers. Jota missing from training and ESR a doubt. Otherwise GTG.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Allegedly missing

        1. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Not reported injured though. Firmino trained though not expected to start just yet.

    2. fricky_
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Absolutely. Wow

      Nevermind found it thanks!

  4. leeboy104
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    De Gea (Steele)
    TAA Cancelo White Livra
    Bernardo Bowen Jota Salah Sissoko
    Vardy

    Dier Toney Davis

    0ft 3.7 ITB

    Would you suggest a hit? Maybe get Reece James in, or Antonio.

    1. Fpl_Ludwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah i would take out Toney and get another attacker and start him over Sissoko
      Antonio is a good option from this week
      And
      Watkins is from next week as well

  5. Ginkapo FPL
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    There is a hot topic on Jota with no evidence, what is that about?

    1. fricky_
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Firmino was seen back in training, but not Jota I believe

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Any source for that. It may be true, and if so I expect to read about it in an article. At the moment it just seems like a rumour

  7. steven8991
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Have Kane and Reguilon, 0 FT left

    Worth doing Kane > Ronaldo for -4?

    Gallagher will play in place of Reguilon

    1. fricky_
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, worth it

  8. jonnybhoy
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Bench one

    A) Gallagher (EVE H)
    B) King (Bre A)
    C) Rudiger (LEE H) - Already got James

    Which of the following

    1) go no keeper
    2) -12pts bring in keeper up to 4.6m

    1. Fpl_Ludwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A1

  9. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Kane > ronaldo for free?

    1. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years

      Yep.

      1. SpaceCadet

    Thanks LEEBOY104

  11. GoonerSteve
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What would you do with this lot?

    Ramsdale
    Trent, Cancelo, James
    Raphinha, ESR, Sarah, Jota
    Ronaldo, Antonio, Dennis

    Foster, Regulliion, Livra, Douglas L.

    1ft 0itb.

    1. GoonerSteve
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Salah not Sarah! New phone autocorrect hasn't learned yet.

    2. fricky_
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Would wait on Jota news and do Raphinha> Bowen

      1. GoonerSteve
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah I was thinking Raph to Bowen also before reading comments about Jota.

    3. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Sarah wont u tell me your name

      1. GoonerSteve
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Lol

    4. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Think you can just about save FT there mate, maybe shift ESR if he's confirmed out.

      1. GoonerSteve
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I quite fancy Bowen for Raphinha but not sure about the West Ham double up. Leeds fixtures awful so seems a good time to ship Raph, but also he can score against anyone.

        ESR and Jota concerns though.

  12. TokyoMontreal
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Who to bench between Emile Smith row and Gallagher ?

    1. fricky_
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If ESR is confirmed fit by Arteta, bench Gallagher

      1. TokyoMontreal
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        If ESR is fit, what do you think if I play with ESR with Gallagher and Bench Alonso?! 3-5-2
        my team :

        Ramsdale
        Alexandre arnold-cancelo-james-alonso
        gallagher-salah-jota-bernardo-smithrow
        ronaldo-king

        1. _Ninja_
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Start Alonso.

          1. TokyoMontreal
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Arigato!

      2. TokyoMontreal
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Arigato!

  13. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Kane or Mo captain?

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Armstrong obviously

    2. GoonerSteve
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Eh?

    3. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Kane blanks vs brenford and norwich home ! Do you really need to ask ?

      1. GoonerSteve
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Not to mention, he isn't playing this gameweek.

    4. Tmel
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      *Ron or Mo!!

      1. GoonerSteve
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Mo probably safest.

        I'm damn tempted by Ronaldo though!

  14. MagicMessi
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Any Cornet news ? Also Jota is he injured or something ? Thx gents

  15. fricky_
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Yous think Jesus will start?

    1. Ballzit
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      My guess is he’ll play, even if he doesn’t start. There was pic of him training in the gym so indicates he isn’t really down.

  16. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Dalot expected price rice on fplstatistics.co.uk but not on ff fix.

    Which one to trust?

  17. Drogba Legend
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Have fallen 50k last two weeks to drop down to 63k OR. Help appreciated. Kane will most likely go to Ronaldo but is Jota out?

    Ramsdale
    TAA - Cancelo - Rudiger - James
    Salah - Jota - Saka
    Toney**-Kane - Dennis

    4.0 - Raphinha - Livra - Brownhill

    A) Save + play Raph/Livra
    B) Toney out
    C) Kane > Vardy/Ronaldo
    D) Raphinha > Bowen
    E) Something else

  18. bruuuno
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Guess it is just to hit the WC button with this team?

    Sánchez*
    TAA Cancelo Alonso Rüdiger
    Gündogan Salah Raphinha Jota? ESR*
    Ronaldo
    Steele* Veltman* Toney* Perica*

    1FT

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      -4 will be fine

    2. Home Late From Age
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Looks like it

  19. TheYogaDaddy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Best Move Here?

    Ramsdale (Foster)
    Cancelo TAA James (Duffy) (Livramento)
    Salah (C) Jota Raphinha Mbuemo (Brownhill)
    Kane Pukki Antonio

    2 ft, 0.6 itb

    Do I go Kane to CR7 or do Kane to King and then have money itb for something else?

    1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      CR7 is good shout

  20. Alonso The Great Midfielder
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Early plan to sort Jimenez and Raphinha but since Spurs dont play this week I think priorities to remove Son and Regullion right? or will they back on vs Leicester game?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Get rid, IMO.

    2. Bobby_Baggio
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Lose son

    3. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      sell the spurs boys

  21. estheblessed
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    G2G?

    Ramsdale
    AA, Rudiger, Cancelo
    B.Silva, Jota, Gallagher, Salah
    Antonio, Vardy, Dennis

      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yep

  22. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Any news on how long Smith-Rowe could be out?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Is it a genuine injury or just a knock?

    2. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      We should find out tomorrow

    3. Bergkamps second touch
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Press conferences will be tomorrow. Just be patient.

  23. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Which is better?

    A. Ronaldo and Gray
    B. Antonio and Rashford + 1m

    Thanks.

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. Home Late From Age
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A but not a fan of Grey

  24. Bobby_Baggio
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Which is better please?

    Sanchez
    TAA - James - Rudiger - Livra.
    Raphinha - Salah - Gallagher - BSilva
    Vardy - Dennis

    (Steele) - Son - Hwang - Johnson

    A) Son + Raph > Mount + Bowen (-4) (no GK)
    B) Son + Sanchez > Mount + DDG

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 13 Years

        Cheers.

    2. Home Late From Age
      • 8 Years

      B and bring in Bowen next GW

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yep will do for Raph

  25. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Too much?

    Salah/Jota/Foden/Bowen/Bilva

    Antonio/King/Watkins?

    Had Son in WC draft and fodder but now that spurs are gone this is wat I could have.

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Could help with what's happened with spurs but each week you'll have bench headache

      1. camarozz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Don't think that's gonna be a problem most wks for Dec tbh. Between covid /rotation and injury all will be needed.

    2. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Think I'd rather go Ronaldo over Watkins and downgrade Foden

      1. camarozz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Not possible, that would only leave 4.1m for a mid!!

    2 FT/0.2ITB

    Thoughts on:
    Son & D.Luiz ——> Jota & Bowen Or

    Son, D.Luiz & Hwang——> Jota, B.Silva, Locadia. (-4)

    1. Fpl_Ludwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years

      Wait for Klopp’s press conference before you bring in Jota, he’s a doubt (Didn’t train)

  27. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Would you prioritise:
    A) Antonio (for Toney)
    B) Bowen (for Raph)

    Will get both eventually and I'll be benching whoever stays out of Toney/Raph - it's just that A improves the bench

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years

  28. Ronanm

  29. Spark Dog
