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.

      What he do? Got rid off him for a hit this week and I like your comment right now

    Half of the site cheering on a useless Watford defender. The charm of FPL.

      I've benched him on an AoA 🙁

        Good for you

        Clever

    holebas owners expecting attacking returns???

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

      No

  5. Sauzée
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Why is Holebas on set pieces? Some woeful crosses so far

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Classid FF bandwagon after his 15 pointer. We all got sucked in - me included. He's drivel. Cue a 25 metre shot into the top corner.

  6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Play like this and they are getting smashed by city midweek

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

      KDB will be a popular transfer target after tonight

  7. Vatroslav
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    I forgot that I actually have three players from this game

  8. Jacket Potato
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Anyone else wondering why they got Holebas in all thos weeks ago, wash of space.

    1. Jacket Potato
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Waste *

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

      Nobody was wondering when he smashed his goal in tbf 😉

      1. Jacket Potato
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        True, seems a long time ago now.

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

      When he was a wing back he was good as he was attacking more

      He is a terrible defender though with a bad discipline record

    4. Mavric Marco
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      I was happy with my 15pts at the time 😉

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

        Saved my gw 😉

    5. Alnair
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      2 goals, 1 assist and 3 clean sheets in a season of clean sheet carnage for just 4.5...

      1. Jacket Potato
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        Better options in my opinion, the dogs had his day

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

          Right now? Sure, but at the time he was still a good pick.

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

    Very surprised by Holebad ownership here

    Personally I put it down to the scouts' over the top reaction to his goal because they were bigging him up prior to that.... Long range goals actually aren't that good of an indicator of attacking potential

    Saw one of the scout advise someone to get him for a hit because he was "essential" the following week

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

      Also highly owned in the top 10k. Probably because of his positional in the points table a few week ago was good

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

      That's like really long Hindsight. At the time watford had kept 3 cs, he was 4.5 or less and on freekicks with very few teams getting CS. It was a reasonable decision at that time

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

        Yes it was...I didn't say he was a bad pick. Actually I even own him...but the reaction was highly surprising after that..especially telling people to take hit to get him in sort of stuff

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

      Cheap players need to be purchased.

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

        I agree

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

      Watford had a great run of fixtures during which he returned a good haul of points.

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

    Why are Giroud/Perez 8/13 to score anytime and Sánchez is 8/11?

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

      because sanchez is more likely to score than these two

      1. 1966 was a great year for E…
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        8/13 is shorter than 8/11.

    2. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      I suppose that if they play, they're definitely up top, whereas Sanchez could possibly play on the left or right

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

    Okaka occasionally looks like a player. He was a wonderkid on FM 😆

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

      Still is 😀

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

        😆 what a finish

    2. A.T

      Timing

  12. Sandy Ravage
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Clyne > Walker?

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

      Before Boro?

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        Spurs have Hull & Burnley at home next

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

          Nothing else need doing? Bit of a luxury transfer imo.

          1. Sandy Ravage
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 11 days ago

            think I need to double up on Spurs players and my only midfield option is Son.

  13. Arceus
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Watford is hopeless

    1. Mavric Marco
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Watford 'are' hopeless 😉

    Capo is useless. Can't believe I didn't take a hit to get rid of Austin.

    • 13 Years

    Looking to offload Austin and Fuchs this week, can't wait.

    Popular combos for 12.2mil?

    Thinking:

    a) Valencia and Iheanacho
    B) Ake and Defoe

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

      B for me.

    So glad I sold Williams weeks ago. What a joke that defense is.

    1. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      can't have a break to sell him... always on bench.
