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.

    Williams doesn't even get 9 points he occasionally got athe Swansea anymore

    1. Valencia's Left Foot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Haha, true. Although he doesn't even get the 6 points he occasionally got at Swansea.

    For GW 16:

    Foster
    Alonso Lovren McAuley
    Sigurdsson Sanchez Hazard Firmino Fletcher
    Kane(c) Ibrahimovic

    Pickford Amat Smith Diomande

    2 FT, £0.1 ITB

    A) Firmino, Smith > Eriksen, Bailly
    B) Firmino > Eriksen
    C) Smith > Ake to free up £0.5 and have 2 FT for GW 17
    D) Do nothing

    First time all season that I am pleased with my team and struggling to see any changes I need to make based on form and upcoming fixtures for next 3-4 weeks

      Lets just get this gw finish first

        This

  3. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    I'm just going to be positive about Williams. Hating him or jinxing has done nothing.

    Williams is going to get the winning goal and nick the 3 baps he rightly deserves.

    Damn i overslept & didnt change captain to sanchez!

  5. Differentiator
    • 10 Years

    Sickening from Behrami

  6. Hurricane Gilbert

    9 years, 11 days ago

    What do we know about the effect of fixture congestion (Xmas) on defence and clean sheets?

    Do teams sit back and keep it tight more? Do clean sheets increase?

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Nope, its usually the opposite. Teams switch off and we get unusual results

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

      Lots of fatigue mate.

      Last year a lot of bang average gameweeks for the majority (~35 ffs, ~25 average), particularly at the end of Xmas, save if you had the random performer for that week (e.g. one week Koscielny goal means I owned the gameweek as noone else owned and he was literally the only fpl relevant player to do anything

  7. Worzel Gummidge
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Was between dropping Holebas or Williams to Alonso -4. Picked Williams. Draw so for. Wouldn't mind a Holebas screamer.

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

        Not going to happen.

        1. Worzel Gummidge
            9 years, 11 days ago

            Wonderful insight Mystic Meg.

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

          At least holebas is cheaper

          1. Worzel Gummidge
              9 years, 11 days ago

              One of my reasons tbh. Also fixtures slightly better for Watford. Plus I can afford a drop on him. Not wasting an FT on a cheap defender unless I get the chance.

        3. vardys party
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 11 days ago

          Any truth in the Sanchez rested rumours? Nervous!

            I've heard no such rumors. Should start

            1. vardys party
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 11 days ago

              Awesome, got him in for a minus 8. Best be starting!

        5. Sims
          • 9 Years

          Some rumours spreading around of Sanchez rest?

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

            25 minutes to team sheets

            • 15 Years

            I dont mind a rest, just dont want a bench cameo

          3. O Fenomeno
            • 10 Years

            Haha stir it up

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

          Is it me or is Holebas' purple patch over as an asset. Switch back to a back 4 has nullified his threat, even with set pieces seems a run of the mill option now

          1. Toure The Route
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 11 days ago

            This.
            Switch to a back four has completely nullified a huge chunk of his potential
            Removed him 2 weeks back

          2. Toure The Route
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 11 days ago

            There and he s proved me wrong -_-

        7. JJJ
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 11 days ago

          Good coverage by NBC to catch Behrami puking on the pitch. I guess he is going to play through.

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

            Half time mince pie was probably not the best idea.

          holebas long throws aren't even that long

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

            i totally misread that at first sight...

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

            surely a long throw is just that, long do?

        9. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
          • 9 Years

          Sanchez not seen getting off team bus.

            Apparently. Not making it up.

          Won't be surprised if Alexis is rested. I called it last night

            You didn't "call it." You posed the question.

          sanchez not in the squad maybe

          1. Hybrid.power
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 11 days ago

            Not in the squad is good. 5 mins off the bench isnt

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

          Wow what a waste of my transfer

          At least I have Walcott too

          Sanchez observed on a flight to China this morning.

            • 11 Years
            9 years, 11 days ago

            I've wanted shut of him since about gw3.
            Can never find a transfer though.

            1. Back on the horse
              • 15 Years

              same, I thought he might come good but they have been awful

            Been wanting to get rid of him the last 4 or 5 weeks! Have already pencilled in my replacement.

          My Vice is either Costa or hazard anyway

        20. Zoom Zoom
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 11 days ago

          (A) Ibra, Can and Alonso (8-pt hit)

          Or

          (B) Iheanacho, KDB, Cedric

          1. Toure The Route
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 11 days ago

            B

            1. Zoom Zoom
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 10 days ago

              Does this verdict change after today's game? Iheanacho was horrific. While KDB was amazing, is he worth the security of Alonso and the easy upcoming MUFC fixtures for Ibra?

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

          As a non Sanchez captained kind of annoyed

          It won't make any difference. Sub appearance would have been perfect

              ^This

              Genuinely think he's a decent pick this week

              1. Toure The Route
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 11 days ago

                S'land will attack as well , should be an open game with goals imo
                Honestly don't see a CS there with Defoe s form
