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)…

    Thoughts here guys. 1 ft and 0.0m itb.

    Sanchez Foster
    TAA Rudiger Cancelo Reguilon Livramento

    2. Don Van Vliet
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      You currently do not have a playing keeper.

  3. Jamb0
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Bottomed. Haven’t taken a hit all season but considering the below for a -8:

    Toney - Ronaldo
    Son - Bowen
    Rudiger - Dalot

    Yay or nay?

    1. Bruno Commando
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not sure about your team but this looks sensible

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

      Nice management - jooi, what is your rank?

      Ron and Bow yes; no one knows Dalot's status yet so I would wait on him as AWB is in competition with him.

      1. Jamb0
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Current rank is 64k. Unfortunately I would need to do the Dalot transfer too to afford the Ronaldo and Bowen moves

    3. rjcv177
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yes. Tough u have to move rudiger out for cash

  4. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Ramsdale
    James, TAA, Cancelo, Dalot
    Salah, Jota, Foden
    Antonio, Wilson, King
    Sanchez, ESR, Williams, Allan
    3.5 itb, already on -8.
    Are we sure the Leicester game will go ahead, or should I go crazy and do Foden and Wilson -> Bowen and Ronaldo?

    A) Do it
    B) GTG

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

      Well if you are going to get those players, now is the week to do it.

      Do it!!!

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

        Cheers. Never taken this many hits before so I’m reluctant :p Definitely not playing the FH chip though.

    2. rjcv177
      • 8 Years

    1. No Kane No Gain
      • 5 Years

      Yes

  12. The Final Boss

    2. Jimenez >> King
    3. Raphinha Jimenez >> Brownhill Ronaldo (-4)
    4. Save 1FT

    Thanks.

    1. luk46
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      same question, 3 makes the bench weak. I could get any mid up to 5.4m, but whom?
      I prefer 2 for this and 1 for next week, I guess.

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        agreed, and bench is important over xmas

  14. BS03
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    hi guys is any of this worth a -4:

    a) steele -> ddg/ramsdale (to get a playing keeper)
    b) hwang -> king/dennis (or just play benteke but rival has dennis)

    sanchez (steele)
    trent - cancelo - james (livra, reguilon)
    salah - jota - mount - bilva - esr**
    wilson - benteke (hwang)

  15. jon.terry.tfh
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What is the update on Jota? didn't see him flagged but I saw comments about he missed training? My only bench options are raphinha and lowton and I'm not keen on either...

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

      Raph is a good option mate

  16. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Morning guys
    What’s up with jota? Is he fit?

  17. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    if you had to pick one for this week who would it be:

    A. Bowen
    B. King

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

      Bowen

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      tough gut says King head says Bowen

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Bowen

    4. Steiger
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      King

    5. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      King

      1. Mufc202020
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Bowen

    6. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      King for me, but both good options

    2. Holmes

      zero 😉

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Same here bud 😉

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          well done considering you are not on WC 😀

    3. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      1 as it stands. If Jotas confirmed out, I'll prob be forced into 2.

    4. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Took -4

      Jiminez, Raph, Son to King, Bowen, Silva

    5. Make United Great Again

      -4

  20. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Which goalkeeper would you prefer?

    I guess the 2022 wildcard means it can be fixed again when needed.

  21. as33
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Mount, Jota or ESR to buy?

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

      Jota mate

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Wait to see if Jota is fit. Not trained all week supposedly.

    3. _Gunner
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      There are rumors going on that Jota has not trained all week.
      Firmino is back as well.
      I would get Mount if the rumors are true

  22. ExpressoMySonny
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    A) Ronaldo and Bowen -4
    b) Bowen and Bernando

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

      B

  23. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Best use of 1FT this week:

    1. Raphinha >> Bowen / Mount / Foden / Rashford
    2. Jimenez >> King
    3. Raphinha Jimenez >> Brownhill Ronaldo (-4)
    4. Livramento >> Dalot [play 5 def]

    Cheers guys

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

      Raph > Mount

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        its between him and Bowen I feel

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Agreed

          1. FCSB
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            who would you opt for... i like Mounts next 2 more, with a view to then bring Bowen in from GW18... just cautious of Mount being rested either this or next GW ?!

    Do you think Bernardo is nailed this gw?

    1. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Rested in CL so would assume so.

      1. Powers106

        Ah that's right, man, I even remember checking that yesterday lol

        1. BIG TONES
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          All good! I brought him in after he got rested, so here's hoping!

            Goodbye Raphina, hello Bernardo!

  27. Pomp and Circumstance
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    is Dalot a good choice? or is there a better DF in the 4.5 and under range? (already have Lamptey; the other 3 DFs are TAA, James, Cancelo)

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

      I’m looking at him as a reguillon replacement. Norwich is a fantastic entry point especially when AWB played Wednesday.

      I wouldn’t expect him to play every game over this period though

      1. _Gunner
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        AWB is injured, I believe Dalot is a good choice now yes.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I like Davies but he has no game this week and might not have in next GW. White is boring but probably a reliable choice when it comes to gametime, fixtures are also fine.

  28. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What’s a better move?

    A) ESR to Gallagher

    B) Raphinha to Zaha.

  29. _Gunner
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I need help below please: 1FT, 0.0 itb

    Sa'
    TAA Cancelo James REGUILION*
    SON* Salah Gallagher
    Antonio JESUS King

    subs: Steer Raphinha Sissoko Livra

    Which is better?

    A- Raphinha + Son > Mount + Bernardo (-4). ( or Jota if he is fit)
    B- Reguilion + Son + Jesus > Dalot + Bernardo + Ronaldo (-8)
    C- Jesus + Son + Raphinha > Ronaldo + Bernardo + 5.8 defender (-8)
    D- Something else?

  30. Holmes
    • 10 Years

    Thiink I'll go for Gundogan if Jota has some injury...

    1. Lord of Ings
      • 8 Years

      Will there be a presser today?

      1. Holmes

        yep, should be

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

      Do you have any other City mid?

      1. Holmes

        Bernardo

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Might work well. Not Foden?

          1. Holmes
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Not a fan plus he has a niggle/knock
