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.

    I'll take that yellow Holebas, just don't get another.

    OMG WALCOTT STARTS

    1. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      So I'm not the only one 🙂

  3. umerlfc

    So Tom Superman Heaton is back

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

    Thoughts on llorente?

    Any interest in bringing him in if he scores today?

      Not really, Siggy is enough Swansea for me.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Would be a nice differential. Has the fixtures but I'd be very suspect of his minutes.

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

      not really, bradley changes his team on a weekly basis

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

      Absolutely not, Siggy and Amat enough swans coverage for me

    5. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Seems to be a massive rotation risk, if you want a punt on one of those surely Origi or Iheanacho is better.

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

    Adam Smith playing in midfield?

      Looks like it. Shame Bou have such bad fixtures, I'm looking forward to getting him back.

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

        I sold Smith and Holebas for Alonso and Ake wildcarding this week. Glad Ake is starting still. Alonso better score tomorrow...

    Lots of players being mentioned. But no line ups?

    3 - Okaka (58)
    2 - Holebas (35)
    1 - Prödl (30)

      Prodl winning goal BPS to come.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        Any idea how much that is normally. Likely to go over 35?

  8. CABAYE4
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Adam Smith in midfield today?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Yas.

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

      Lineup on twitter suggests Ake is in midfield.

      1. CABAYE4
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        An option but not the one they went with last time.

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

      A double assist would certainly give something sweet to savour if he can compete with Holebas

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

    Another goal for Everton would be good - just not with a Lukaku goal or assist,

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

    Is Ake playing on the wing?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Think he's playing in goal today.

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

        I know you'd play him there but you've gotta try and remember that Eddie Howe is in charge 😀

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

    Llorente start means no false 9 for Sigurdsson. Borini on bench for Sunderland may affect Anichebes gametime?

  12. drughi
    • 16 Years

    Walcott it is your time to shine this week

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      -1

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

      Is due a goal technically
      Bookies have again given him odds like a striker
      Still think he ll come good soon

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

    What is that haircut Valencia mate

  14. Venom Snake

    My Smith is OOP? I'm liking this

  15. Djerbil
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Has the guy who started the Sanchez rumors been banned?

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

      In fairness it started with someone saying he didn't get off the team bus

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

        I said he didn't get off the bus as a mate messaged me. People in here are worse then a mother's club. Calm down!!!

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

      Nobody started it he just asked a question

      Hard to see how it harmed anyone as it was post deadline

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

      Past 11.30 it's not important.

    4. Crystal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Hopefully, presumably he's never been to an Arsenal home game. Players can drive in!

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

      no need to ban to be fair, looks like maybe he got a wrong report (possibly)

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

    Put 5 bucks on gitoud first goal after those Sanchez rumours damn

  17. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    So anybody else bring in Ihaenacho for Austin for a hit and leave him as 3rd sub by accident as you do with Holebas starting in his place??

    Thought not.. An interesting start to the GW.

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

      What

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

    Why is Wilshere not starting?

  19. Jay_
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Holebas brought down in box, no pen but seen them given

    • The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Is Austin ---> Carroll a good option for next week?

      West Ham play Burnley, Hull, Swansea and Leicester in their next 4 matches.

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        Wait to see his minutes this weekend. I'd er on the side of caution because... it's Carroll.

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

        I am thinking this. Waiting to see how Carroll fairs this week.

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

      Looks a good player that Okaka and not just because he scored two. Who exactly is he?...where did he come from?

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

        Roma I think

      2. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        Italian

      3. CABAYE4
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        Originally came through at Roma, played at Fulham for a bit a while back on loan but didn't make much of an impression.

        Bit of a journeyman since then.

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

          Looks like a player made for this league. Big strong looking fella for surel

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

        Was in Italy before this season I think

      5. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        Played for Anderlecht (Belgium)

        He's a strong fella, works hard but his technical ability is a bit meh

      Holebas is going to conspire to throw away as many points as possible

    • EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years

      Phew Marshall starts.

      Whoever said 'Jakupovic regains his spot' is a horrible person.

    • SirStevieG

      Fun fact: the whole Watford starting XI today is each from a different country.
