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.

    All taking hits to get back Rom & Holebas?

      Nope

        Hope the sarcasm was noted.

    Lukaku & Holebas 🙂

      Congrats

        Just Holebas here

  5. Sims

    League rival vice captained lukaku and benched holebas

    Thank God Alexis started

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

      I benched holebas, was looking forward to sanchez no start and tekkers VC

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

        If you have Sanchez surely you want him to start? The guy could get 3 goals

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

          true

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

        Noone is interested in your wishing of Sánchez being benched for the sake of a defender you shouldn't be benching anyway.

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

          He didn't say anyone was...just he was hoping

          No need to be rude

    Lukaku sellers 'punished' by a run of 2,2,1,1,12

    1. Sif
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Is if you kept him for those then sold him for this haul 🙁

  7. THFC4LIFE

    Holebas gets booked every game he plays!!

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Except that's not true. Half of them.

  8. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 11 days ago

    Lukaku will still go down in price tonight as has already gone over -100% threshold even thought I expect his NTI will turn positive now.

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

      No it hasn't, and it doesn't work like that anyway.

    2. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      You are correct, my mistake, was on -100% before the deadline, looks like it has been adjusted since.

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

    Don't worry Okaka and Lukaku will both get hattricks

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

      Double k club

        Bemba! Do you still do the 'OMG [player name]' every time someone scores?

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

    Sanchez to Lukaku for free?

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      You dont have Sanchez LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

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

    I got Kane for Lukaku last week and triple captained him against Swansea so I'm still happy.

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

    Even when lukaku finally explodes he is dealing with numbers 1 and 2

  13. Neto
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Lukaku - just 9.4 - incredible value for money.
    Buy! Buy! Buy!
    He will rise 0.3 and then troll Arsenal & Liverpool at home.

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

    Ooooo, Lukaku assist to Coleman goal would have been lovely.......

  15. Sharpe Shuffle
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Why is everyone shocked at Lukaku scoring goals v Watford? Their defence isn't great and he's a top striker. Don't own him but don't understand the Trollkaku stuff either. Sometimes strikers score after a run of blanks

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

      *massive run of blanks, and that's the thing

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

        Is 4 games a massive run? What about Vardy? Ighalo?

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

      This

    3. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      This
      He had to score one of these weeks anyway
      People decided to drop since others were essential over the longer term
      This brace doesn't mean too much

      1. Sharpe Shuffle
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Correct. Did people think he would never score again? Still glad he's not in my team as Everton look awful

  16. FALCAO & MOU

    I think Bemba_Da should rename himself to pessimist _martha_focker, anyone else think so?

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

      It's what he does. He's part of the furniture. So no

    8. Jimmy Boy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Knew I shouldn't have benched Holebas. Lovren had better keep a clean sheet or better yet injure himself in the warmup

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years

        You didn't know though did you. See I did, which is why I played him.

        1. Jimmy Boy
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          Well I didn't know, but had that gut feeling whilst laying in bed last night that he was gonna do something lol

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

            But you're always going to feel like that when you have tough benching decisions! Just part of the game, have to try to make the best decisions at the time and whatever happens happens.

      Of Course Mini-league leader has Lukaku, he well inside the top 10k too

        Same here. Bugs me so much.

      Whoever sold Lukaku vs Watford is a mug.

      1. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Captain hindsight talking. Everton has been very poor and still today very few goal attempts. Many would be outpriced of Costa/Kane if they didt hit the button

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

          With Aguero just receiving a ban? Nahhh, they had the funds to do it but got greedy.

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Most sold him weeks ago and have no regrets

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

          Exactly, only the mugs that sold him this week for Kane are crying in the comments...

      3. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        More so for keeping him this long

      4. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 10 days ago

          tbf he should have been sold weeks ago but owners, if there are still any, have a nice bonus before tough fixtures.

        1. Toure The Route
          • 9 Years

          Everton have destroyed him for us.

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

          was one of the 1st names on my teamsheet for GW1.
          Thought he would be a good pt scorer in a better defence and a snip at 5m.
          Mind you thought the same about Stones at Man City.

          Obviously price setters at FPL knew more than the rest of us.

      10. liiusions
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Feel slightly robbed that Holebas got 2 assists and will only likely get 7 points

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          You expect two assists to beat two goals?

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

            No but when a defender gets 2 assists you'd expect him to score more than 7 🙂

            1. Camp No No
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 10 days ago

              Or that in general, yeah.

              It's a little bit disappointing to check your points and see Holebas at 6. You'd think he'd already have at least 8, and baps to be added.

          2. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 10 days ago

            Probably just means that it is rare that a defender gets two assists and doesn't get more than 1 bap.
