Gameweek 21 is upon us with six afternoon kick-offs getting things underway.

Fantasy managers will be fixated on Stamford Bridge and Anfield in particular, with Liverpool and Chelsea backed for big victories and points aplenty.

Mohamed Salah is the most-captained player for the Gameweek and starts against Leicester City having produced a goal or an assist in 11 of his previous 12 Gameweeks.

He sits alongside Roberto Firmino in a Liverpool front three, with the Brazilian having produced three successive double-figure returns. Meanwhile, Philippe Coutinho also starts in a powerful Liverpool line-up. He’s supplied four goals and five assists from his last five Gameweek starts.

But Leicester could provide a stubborn barrier at Anfield, which is perhaps not the case at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea’s opponents Stoke apparently conceding the match from kick-off.

Cursed by injuries at the back and with Kurt Zouma ineligible to face his parent club, Mark Hughes makes the decision to keep key players in reserve.

Antonio Conte has also made changes, resting his own star man – Eden Hazard. The Blues boss brings in Pedro and Willian to flank Alvaro Morata, while Andreas Christensen returns from illness but only makes the bench.

Elsewhere, Richarlison will bid to revive his Fantasy stock after failing to find the net in eight Gameweeks. He faces bottom club Swansea City at Vicarage Road with just three assists to his name over that dry spell.

Clean sheets will be the order of the day across the remaining matches, with Everton, Burnley and Brighton all popular sources of budget defensive signings.

However, with squads stretched, there will doubtless some managers relying on points from Huddersfield strikers Laurent Depoitre and Colin Quaner when they take on the Clarets.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Serious question...
    Bandwagon ditch hazard now, or hold and find another way to find kane... we’ve been saying it for ages, but surely he’ll just punish when we all sell him eh

    1. Butcher
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sell. Plenty other options to cover his hauls. If he hauls again that is.

    2. Sailboats

      Sell Hazard. He's good irl, terrible in FPL for this season

          • 13 Years

          Would you have Arnie over Eriksen or Son?

    Buying VVD at £75m is like paying £500 for a lapdance where touching is not allowed.

    You will wake up disappointed the next day.

  6. Rik Waller

    Seems like Morata is the more popular captain in my leagues. those Salah missed could hurt.

    Is anyone not TC Kane with this yellow flag?

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Very few will TC him now.

    2. mir
      • 16 Years

      Just captain for me. Always was. TC for later in season.

  9. mcrayeps
    • 9 Years

    Need to get rid one of Hazard or Morata.. Which one?

    Leaning to get rid Morata..

    1. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      both

    2. GE
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If no Kane:
      Morata -> Kane

      If Kane:
      Haz -> Eriksen/Alli/Son

  10. FootballFanatic365

    hazard + DCL + christensn + KDB > Kane +Arnie + Vertongn + Son (-8) ?

    Can anyone help me understand the Free Chip a bit better?

    I currently have 2 Free Transfers, so...

    1) Would I still have 2 the week after the free chip is played?
    2) If I use one free transfer - then activate Free Chip - will I have 2 free transfers the following week?

    and final option...

    3) If I use both Free Transfers to set my team up for GW23 now - and then activate Free Chip for GW22 - will the game be clever enough to remember that I set it up for GW23? Or will it stupidly revert everything back to how it was before any transfers were made at all at the very start? (aka my GW21 setup)

    I hope I've explained it clearly enough. Any help on this would be appreciated!

      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      1) No
      2) No
      3) it reverts, but I'm not 100% sure.

      Thanks guys,

      yeah 3 is a bit convoluted. Someone told me you lose everything from that GW but I can't understand why. I want to bring Arnie in - then use my free hit - because i still want him to be there afterwards.

      Someone said that wont happen - the game will take Arnie out again even though I FT'd him in

      1. Bad Kompany
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        yes, the game will take him out even though though you ft'd him in because it reverts back to the team you had without making any transfers

        1. jedimanelas
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks for clearing that up 🙂

    6. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      It reverts back to your original team before you made any transfers

      1. jedimanelas
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        OK just seen this - so Arnie comment above is correct? I'll lose him if I try this?

    Can't decide between the Spurs mids for the DGW

    1. Epic Fail

      You better get thinking then, Son.

    2. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sonaldo

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ogbonna, Lanzini, Arnautovic and Kane

    How many dgws is there likely to be between January and May?

    1. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      2

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      2 more most likely

  15. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Double up on Alli and Son or just get one with Arnie?

    1. VFORVANDETA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Arnie

    2. Butcher
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      1 with Arnie. Would you want double Spurs mid and Kane for the foreseeable future?

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Alli+Arnie. Lamela will steal Son's game time.

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Lies.

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Good point

        1. Differentiator
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Lamela is a threat to Alli. No way Lamela and Alli both play in 1 game IMO

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Didn’t Lamela sub on for Son last game?

            1. Differentiator
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Not representative! that was in the 72nd minute for a tired Son. The first 90 minute starting game saw Alli dropped for Lamela

              1. Differentiator
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                Also it was when Spurs had a huge lead

    4. mir
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Alli and Arnie for me. Alli I feel is going to go on a run of points

    5. BabyB
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      with Arnie. Good fixtures for whm and spurs turn soon so presuimng you have kane you will need to move one on quickly.

  16. VFORVANDETA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Salah brace or Magu cs?

  17. LIARS POKER
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Don't really have the transfers to do it atm but Mortata -> Firmino on the cards next week I think, Morata not worth the extra.

  18. Lone Wolf FPL

    you makin transfers today guys?

    1. Ginkapo FPL

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

    Jose speaking truth about Pep.

    Has Hart. Doesn't like him. So buys Bravo. Doesn't like Bravo so buys Ederson.
    Has Zaba and Kolarov. Doesn't like them so buys Walker, Mendy and Danilo. Will buy another LB too.
    Could go on...

    Shame that no one is willing to call Pep's bluff with some proper old school long ball tactics.
