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.

    5 mins Sanchez better start or else not be on the squad (Costa VC)

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Really hope hes not in the squad. Cant handle a 5 min cameo

    2. Over Midwicket
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Er...

    3. O Fenomeno
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      I think even if he is in the squad he won't be brought on unless they're not winning, so worst case if he doesn't start I reckon he won't be needed for a cameo

  2. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Holebas 7.3% ownership

  3. Spg76
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    How is Capoue playing??? Holebas great news. Playing AOA

  4. Blanka
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Toss up between taking out Adam Smith and Holebas. Obviously went Holebas.

    1. mahone24
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Holebas out for a minus 4 for alonso. Going well so far

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

        Lol nightmare.

        1. Gemgem1010
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          Same but Alonso will pay off long term.

  5. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

    Holebas last 4 weeks

    1. PvA

      Essential

      1. French Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        😀

    2. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 10 days ago

        You were right. He didn't get a screamer but he got me 2 assists.

      • ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        It'll be 9 points in 5 games. No thanks

      • Jönny
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Yeah but you've always got the hope of something special. Plenty of other defenders getting those kind of scores without the potential for assists/goals/bonus.

        I love the guy.

        1. Worzel Gummidge
            9 years, 10 days ago

            Plus Dingo is clutching at straws assuming owners played him all those games. I played him once.

        2. 1966 was a great year for E…
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          He's a 4.5 Watford defender. If you want consistency, get Alonso.

        3. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          I rotate him with Evans, caught Evans goal last week, Holebas 2 assists today

        4. mattk lfc
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          Well doubt many played him away to Liverpool, then he didn't play the next game

        5. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          Had him since GW6, played him 7 times & has got me (currently) 40 points 😀

        6. Shultan
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          Not all holebas owners play him every week, i did the -2 & 0 & now this week getting his 8 + bonus points.
          More expensive defenders are doing just as bad.

      • PvA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Might cry if Holebas scores a FK

        1. umerlfc
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          Cry with happiness?

      • The Fantastic Mr Fox
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Holebas gonna be another FFScout differential by the looks of it

      • FPL Puppy
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        There was one person last night that recommended me to play Holebas.
        I owe him an apology.

      • Danno - Emre Canada
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        I need some team news so as I know if I can cheer on Capoue yet

      • Gazzpfc
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Best 4.3m mf de roon??

      • Kroosin'
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Attacking wingers are the saviours this season.

      • GoonerByron
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Lol at all those on here slating Holebas at 0-1 and talking about replacements... What do you expect from a 4.8 defender? (Nice when it comes off though :P)

      • Jönny
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Not sure I'll ever bench Holebas, it's like having an extra midfielder.

        1. Jönny
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          Ok, maybe next week, but after that...

      • Ógie

        I am having my birthday party today but there is this cousin that i cant stand who is coming over he will ruin my day 🙁

      • FPLzebub
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Wasted my AOA chip if Sanchez doesn't play.

        1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          and 3 seconds of my life

      • Fpl Old Guard
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        If Holebas could pop up with a goal now that would make a nice 17 point start to the gameweek

        1. Evasivo
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          Lower your expectations

        2. Gr3g
          • 14 Years

        • 9 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        9 years, 10 days ago

        Forgot to change (c) today... It's left on Sanchez and I was 100% on Haz... Dear me...:(

        1. La Roja
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          How do buoy forget your captain???

          Your commitment needs to be questioned here

      • Alnair
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Gotta feel for that guy who used AOA instead of playing Holebas, pretty jammy return today 😐

      • Coldplay
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago
