Aaron Ramsey is ruled out of Arsenal’s clash with Chelsea and Olivier Giroud requires a late fitness test. Bournemouth’s Charlie Daniels is still sidelined for a trip to Everton, while Virgil van Dijk could be out for up to three months with an ankle injury.

Olivier Giroud and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are set for late fitness tests ahead of Arsenal’s trip to Chelsea, though Arsene Wenger expects both to be available. Aaron Ramsey is ruled out for three weeks with a calf complaint.

Bournemouth’s Callum Wilson has been ruled out for the season after suffering knee ligament damage in training. Charlie Daniels is also unavailable for the trip to Goodison, though Max Gradel is back in contention after returning from the Africa Cup of Nations.

Calum Chambers has a chance of returning for Middlesbrough’s clash with Spurs, though Gaston Ramirez and George Friend are still unavailable.

Virgil van Dijk has been ruled out for two to three months with an ankle complaint, while James Ward-Prowse and Jay Rodriguez will continue to be assessed ahead of Southampton’s clash with West Ham, Claude Puel has confirmed.

Leon Britton is back in training and comes into contention for Swansea’s trip to the Etihad. New signing Jordan Ayew won’t be available, though, as he is still turning out for Ghana in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Sunderland new boys Bryan Oviedo and Darron Gibson will be “in and around the squad” for the trip to Palace, David Moyes has confirmed. Papy Djilobodji serves the second of a four-match suspension.

    Daniels + Ramirez >> T.Carroll + Baines for -4pts
    Or Daniels + Cech >> Baines + Heaton?

    1. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Wouldnt get Heaton now with his run of away games
      Probably after next week if you still want him .
      Suggest you watch the Watford game next week and decide .

      1. El-Kloppico

        Is Heaton a good option? with his series of Away matches upcoming?

      I won't get two Everton.
      Second option looks good but then Ramirez is not sure to start.

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Never mentioned 2 EVE.
        In fact I want to shipping Ramirez out, injured.

  2. My little Bony

    1. Old Wulfrunian

      still out

      1. My little Bony
        • 12 Years

        Thanks AOA it is so, if Jones is confirmed out also. Crap chip anyway, might as well use instead of taking a hit

    2. only2
      • 13 Years

      Yes, he is still out unfortunatly! Need him fit soon myself

    Hazard has to go - best replacement?

    1. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      For immediate returns plus a lot of cash, Zaha.
      If you need a reliable third mid, Siggy .

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        agree

      2. odotfenz
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I'm leaning towards Siggy due to the blank factor. I love the concept of Zaha though

    2. Pinky Blinders
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Blanks and all that but KdB looks bang inform if you can stretch

    Any help guys.
    A. McAuley (Have Brunt)+Stanislas -> Holebas+Zaha
    B. Grant+Stanislas -> Jaku+Zaha

    Zaha and Stan have similar stats but given the upcoming fixtures and recent form I'm thinking Zaha.
    Holebas, I know, not such a great choice, but have to free up funds and he's on set pieces.
    Jaku, well, for his price and for one of the blanks.

      Nice team
      So you got in Lukaku this week?
      Did you ready have Costa or got in both?

      1. Toure The Route

  8. Karan_G14

    One last time. Who's the better option and why?

    A) Carroll

    B) Benteke

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. ROOTY7
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Benteke, zaha back he will be recieving better service.

    2. willgriggsonfire
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      B

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

      Carroll
      This enables Zaha if needed , Zaha is just outstanding value if he can pick up that form which he had. Both actually could be two of the biggest value picks as long as they stay fit.

      I'm still waiting another week to decide this though.
      Big Sam likes to hoof balls, so if he is very vital to palace I don't want to jump on Carroll .
      Good to have third striker worries though , all season long these budget ones have gone missing.

  9. Chris_White
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone considering starting Jakupovic over Heaton?

    Burnleys away form is horrific, plus although Jaku is unlikely to keep a CS he should rack up the saves...

    1. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Understandable, but Watford not great going forward. Should both do pretty well imo.

      1. boc610
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Gabriel and Mustafi don't believe you....

        1. Sweetboi
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          They had a mare, look at Watford's record.

    2. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Lol, i'm thinking of captaining Mane vs Jaku 🙂

    3. bojack
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I was but the fixture marginally swung it to Heaton.

      Hull still capable of getting a right hammering you'd think.

      1. Chris_White
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I don't see them getting hammered at their current state. If so, because of the fatigue (three games in a week).

        Liverpool also not looking like they used to. Mané back could change that, of course.

  11. LIARS POKER

    Thinking about interchanging KDB and Hazard over the next few weeks with blanks, works out quite well

    GW24 KDB (swa)
    GW25 KDB (bou)
    GW26 Hazard (swa) - KDB blank
    GW27 KDB (sun) - Hazard has west ham away
    GW28 either keep KDB (stoke) or Hazard (watford)

    Sound like a decent plan or a waste of ft's?

    1. willgriggsonfire
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Looks good.

    2. Pinky Blinders
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I had a similar idea when I brought KDB in for Hazard, but really, just take it week to week and save some transfers. Hard not to like the idea that mainstream players won't go near him for this run of great match ups coinciding with him really showing good form again as City turn it on. Great if you need to make up some ground.

      At least for GW 26 could simply be easier to stash him on the bench for GW26, especially if Haz is still sucking.

    3. Tomcooper9
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Both could blank in GW 28 if they win their FA cup matches

        So what? Lots of points on offer until that happens.

    4. Bobby_Baggio

      Prob Ibra although he hasnt been his normal self recently

  14. Funkyav
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    I have a horrible Aguero decision to make today

    If I get rid he is bound to start this weekend.

    If I dont get rid he is my captain pick.

    1. JogaSemmedo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Same dilemma and I think I'm keeping and captaining.

      Chasing a ML leader who will captain Kane and has Lukaku. Ive got Kun & Ibra. This weekend could see me close gap or fall further back.

    2. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Keep and don't captain.

      1. Funkyav
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        If I keep I have to captain, who else is there?

        Ibra out of form
        Sanchez bad fixture
        Alli - dont trust spurs

        1. Bobby_Baggio
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Swansea are playing well so out of them i would (C) any of them 3 over aguero. Prob Ibra first then Alli then Sanchez

          1. Funkyav
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            fair enough, you are probably correct

            i think its just Aguero clouding my judgement

            1. Bobby_Baggio
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Just my opinion mate - your call at the end of the day. Go with your Gut but i would keep Aguero for this week

    3. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

      8 years, 10 months ago

      Oh stop, you know you are going to keep him and C him! You've stuck with him this long, maybe he'll change? He's promised he would. Sorry starting to sound like the two of you are co-dependent. You should ditch him immediately.

        how many players has he 'tried to sign'?? one euro over the release clause for Suarez

        and now talking about the one player that could have made the difference.

        Kante has made more tackles made that any other player in last three seasons and this is only his second season

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah, some years back he wanted Suarez, before that Cristiano.. lol

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years

    I've got 2 free transfers to use and 0.4 ITB. Current squad looks like this:

    Forster Grant
    Chambers Yoshida Jones Baines Alonso
    Mirallas Coutinho Hazard Eriksen Davies
    Kane Costa Rondon

    Debating 2 of these:
    Forster > Foster
    Jones > Van Aahnolt
    Hazard > DeBruyne

    Views on these or other suggestions will be much appreciated.

    1. willgriggsonfire

    2. Pep Pig
      • 9 Years

      Hi mate. I would be preparing for the upcoming blanks and avoid KDB. PVA in is a great move. I'd also consider Mane in for Hazard

  19. FPL Marc
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    I want an attacking defender to go alongside Alonso and Baines.

    Walker, Dann, Van Aanholt are all interesting but they'll probably blank GW28.

    So is it between Coleman (doubling up) and Brunt (who can't keep a clean sheet)?

      If he can keep playing in this formation .
      But I think Walker might outscore him even with a blank purely because Spurs defence can be fixture proof .

    3. JogaSemmedo

      I have Alonso, Brunt and Coleman.

      Will be bringing Baines in.

    Best Keeper to own under 5.0 till end of season..
    Better CS possibilities.

    1. ElTorro
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Heaton of course. Then foster

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Heaton is 5.0m

    2. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Nobody stands out now, most of these smaller keepers struggle away including Heaton, Valdes and Randolph .
      But I would monitor Randolph if Fonte can help WHU

      1. Toure The Route

        And foster and grant *

      Foster

    hi guys,

    2 FT and 0.4 m in the bank.

    Cech - Pickford

    Baines, Lovren , Brunt, Barragan, Walker

    Sanchez, Phillips, Stanislas, Capoue, Eriksen

    Giroud, Ibra, Costa

    So I was thinking:

    A) Stanislas + Giroud --> Sterling + Carrol
    B) Lovren + Giroud --> Yoshida + Lukaku
    C) XXX + GIroud --> XXX + Jesus
    D) ????
    Thoughts?

    Thanks in advance everyone and GL

      B looks good.

  22. Guru Mediation
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Who would you rather play this week?

    A) Holebas (Burnley home)
    B) Lovren (Hull Away)
    C) Van Aanholt (Sunderland Home) -4

    Cheers

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      A

    2. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      B if you own him
      Huge huge differential at the very least

    they say that when Ingolo Kante lost his virginity he went and won it back

    1. Davido989

      ffs 😆

    2. Pinky Blinders
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Does that make him a born again virgin? Can't say I'm surprised since he's in the same league as Jesus.

  24. ElTorro
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Just used my free transfer for zaha, the boy's been terrific last gameweek. I will definitely make a second transfer though.

    Giroud-->Benteke
    Giroud-->Kane

    Cant decide, benteke has a great run of fixtures and kane has liverpool away next

    1. Baz
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Kane.

    2. Pep Pig
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I don't think doubling up on Zaha and Bentekkers is a bad move at all mate. Giroud won't be starting this week by the sounds of it

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

      Agree with the Zaha transfer at the least
      Looks exciting to own him

    4. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Iv brought in tekkers until gw29 or so.

      With wingbacks they'"ll be crossing in plenty of balls

  25. Pep Pig
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Foster (STK)

    Brunt (STK)
    Danny (SUN)
    Pieters (wba)

    Stanislas (eve)
    Firmino (hull)
    Ali (MID)
    Sanchez (chelsea)

    Ibra (Lei)
    Aguero (SWA) - (C)
    Gray (wat)

    Benched
    Heaton (wat)
    De Roon (tot)
    Ake (ARS)
    Chambers (tot)

    With just 0.1m ITB, is it worth saving this week?

    My intention is to ship out Ake, one of Aguero or Ibra before the GW 26 blank, and possibly Sanchez after the Hull game.

    Any help would be much appreciated?

      Dont captain kun mate. Clement's been cementing swansea's defence and kun is uncertain of starting. Keep the transfer and captain Ibra or Alli.

      1. Pep Pig
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        You might be right about the skipper choice. I just feel he will play and silence the doubters. My thinking is he is under pressure to score after the way Jesus played up top

    2. willgriggsonfire
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yes, do all that.

  26. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Start Foster or Heaton if I'm also starting Nyom?

    1. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Heaton for sure

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Foster

    3. Ridcully
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Heaton.

  27. KingOllie
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Start
    A) Jaku
    B) Grant

    Think both concede. Jaku for saves?

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Jaku

      1. KingOllie
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Start alonso or holgate?

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          holgate

        2. Bobby_Baggio
          • 14 Years

          Tough mate - prob holgate

      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah - also Spurs for Poch to confirm news on Rose.

      Was considering Bavies - probably gonna go for RFM now - but if Rose is out for the season (seems like it's 4 weeks from reports) I'll reconsider

  29. Individual
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Morning all

    How am I looking here? Think I'll be taking Jones out for Funes Mori today. I was considering Bavies but was swayed by some very helpful advice from the community in that Bavies is a transfer out waiting to happen whereas RFM covers me for ages;

    Jaku / Randolph
    Alonso Jones (will be Funes Mori on ft) Brunt / Pieters Amat
    Alli © KdB Antonio Sanchez / Fletcher
    Ibra Kaku Rondon

    Thanks!

    1. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Not sure on the alli captaincy. Although good week for a punt.

      Im captaining the troll !

      1. Individual
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers Ollie!

        I'm doing it because my ML rivals have 2/3 Spurs and will almost all be captaining Kane, so it makes me less exposed. Can't see a way to fit in another Spur sadly apart from if I brought Bavies in 🙁

        Good luck on Kaku. Never again for me!

    2. ElTorro

      Jones is fine. He will play

      1. Individual
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I'm going to be shifting for gw26 anyways and have another ft, so I figure I might as well do it now. I think the scouts are right and he'll rotate Smalling in.

        Will wait for pressers though!

        Thanks man

    3. willgriggsonfire
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yes, looks good. Can wait for the team news on Jones.

      1. Individual
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah I'll do it end of the day. If Funes Mori was rising last night I might've panic bought but I didn't in the end

    4. @chapellefpl OR 577TH
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Bavies?

      1. Individual
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Ben Davies.... Guess you're newer to the scene 😉

  30. Bobby_Baggio
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Start Jones or Nyom? Jones may not even play but not 100%

    1. willgriggsonfire
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Wait for the team news on Jones, then decide.

    2. Individual
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Think I'd be starting Nyom here anyway. Baggies at home worth a go.
