Gameweek 15 eases its way into our weekends via a rather tepid fixture from a Fantasy Football perspective, with assets from both Watford and Everton slipping from the radar of late.

Romelu Lukaku has regressed to fire just a single goal in his last six Gameweeks, restoring his “unreliable” tag and ensuring that he has been evacuated from thousands of Fantasy Premier League squads over the last month.

Equally, we’ve fallen out with Watford’s early risers – the likes of Etienne Capoue, Troy Deeney and Jose Holebas showed such promise but have faded badly in recent Gameweeks.

With expectations kept low, we are likely to consider this first fixture as a Scouting mission, an encounter to be used to weigh up and assess whether the aforementioned players can return to favour.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Holebas very heavily relayed on this week this will hurt a lot of teams

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      When is he ever heavily relied on?

    2. Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      I don't really rely heavily on a defender that costs less than 5 ever

      Lol

    4. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Not mine, benched him and played Lukaku and Coleman.

      Hate having defenders playing against my attakers

      ...said noone ever

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        😆

    The troll only rears his head when you sell him...

    1. GinjaWhinja
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Lukaku has got to be a real good differential right now, given how sucky he has been.

      1. The Fantastic Mr Fox
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        Not with those fixtures

    2. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Not correct. Many had him for 6-7 goals.

  3. Tansey
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    I've always wondered. Can someone tell me what's up with Cholevas on Holebas' jersey

    1. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Different translation of greek characters?

  4. Scotty B
    • 13 Years

    Why does everyone say Trollkaku?

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Because everyone has sold him

      1. Bleach †
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        Everyone?

        1. Chris_White
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 11 days ago

          On here, at least

          1. Bleach †
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 11 days ago

            Not really.

    2. Tansey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      In the past he's always scored when people don't want him to/sold him and didn't score when most expected to. He trolls everyone

    3. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Scores when nobody has him, blanks when everyone has him

    4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Because he is the worst FPL-troll there is. Whenever you have him he blanks, whenever you sell him he goes crazy.

    5. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      When we have him and hoping he will score - he doesn't.
      When we sold/benched him or don't expect anything from him - he scores.

      One of the most famous trolls in FPL. 🙂

    6. getfunky
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      he's in my good books this season as I brought him in for his hatty against Middlesborough & captained him

    7. red devil 7
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      bcoz lukaku is a good guy

  5. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Lukaku has 25% ownership in the top 10k...

    1. Garlana
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      You're kidding?

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Should balance out Holebas so

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      What?!

    4. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Not a big surprise, I'm top 5k and have held him over Kun for months.

  6. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Was looking forward to saving my transfer this week but feeling a Holebas rage transfer coming already 😀

    1. Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Maybe u shd sell Austin first given u probably kept him

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        I didn't

        1. Sims
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 11 days ago

          That's strange u were so confident Thursday night

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 11 days ago

            The night moved on, you must have left early

  7. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    The 4 blanks before this does pain of doing Lukaku > Kane a while back, Kane will outscore him easily over the next 4 gameweeks anyway

    1. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      I think so, and I'm a blue.

  8. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Lukaku was always going to troll me the week I finally got rid wasn't he.. (And for a hit)

    1. Bleach †
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Selling Lukaku for a hit vs Watford... Got only yourself to blame.

      1. GoonerByron
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        Because of the price changes mainly.. Him dropping, Ibra rising.. Ibra should outscore him over this month though hopefully

  9. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    How much is that Lukaku fella?

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Down to 9.4m

    2. Golden Venture
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      9.4

  10. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    I would have probably kept Lukaku if it wasn't for his mental price drops at the start of last week. He is a proven goal scorer

  11. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Lukaku - 1 goal against a poor team does not make a FPL essential / superstar

    1. Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Nobody said it did

    2. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Consistent goals against many teams does. He's underrated.

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Still early. He might get a brace. He will rise. He will blank. It's the circle of FPL-life.

  12. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Costa back to lukaku if diego gets a yellow!

  13. Backup Dancer
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    I told someone to keep lukaku for this game. Hope they did 🙂

    1. Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      On the plus side he lost some money

      1. Backup Dancer
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        Logic was if you'd kept this long you give him watford

  14. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Of course my ML leader has lukaku

    1. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Really?? Dead team?

  15. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    So tired of reading Trollkaku comments. Most of us had him for 6-7 goals, and sold him when he "dried up". Did you expect him to never score again this season? Just keep him, if he keeps trolling you, jeez..

    1. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      We're just having a bit of fun. Relax. 🙂

      1. FPLtfs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        Doesn´t look like everyone thinks it that fun 😉 But, yeah, I get it

        1. FPL Puppy
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 11 days ago

          There is always "lol @ ---- benchers/sellers/captainers" and "Trollkaku" during an active GW. Just go with the flow and don't take things too serious. 🙂

          Just wait until Sanchez plays, it will either be a few "lol @ Sanchez non-captainers" or "lol @ Sanchez captainers".

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Still think Costa, Defoe, Kane and Ibra are better overall value. Can't have them all.

      1. FPLtfs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        Yes, probably, but not my point.

    3. Too Mane Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Bang on. Also, he's a striker who plays in a lone striker formation. If he didn't score he wouldn't have a job.

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Watford look pretty bad at the back

    1. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Good, I benched Holebas.

    2. Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Holebad

    3. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Pretty bad? Now that's an understatement

  17. FPL Puppy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    People, don't fall into the Lukaku-trap...

    *cue posts like Costa/Kane/Defoe -> Lukaku? *

  18. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Deeney is a lump

  19. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Nice touch by Denney

    1. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Don't know about nice, but it was a touch.

  20. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Barry assist? How much does he cost?

  21. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Glad I ditched my Watford defender a couple weeks ago

  22. Van der Faart

    The troll returns

  23. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    That was great by Deeney he just prevented a Capoue goal 🙂

  24. Jasoooooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Kaku is the definition of a troll

  25. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Holebas staying back and being a defender is annoying

    Get forward and smash one in the top corner my son

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      has been awful in attack so far.

      why do you even own him btw. watford are crap

  26. Sims
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Kane to lukaku if he blanks?

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Serious question or are you doing a Lukaku on it?

    Lukaku is really reliable against teams with poor defenses.
    Except when he blanked vs Swansea 😛
