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.

    2. Grendos

      Probably keeping Hazard and shipping Morata.

  5. Disco Stu

    • 13 Years

    Eriksen or Son for the DGW?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Son

    2. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      alli?

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Eriksen will play more minutes than Son. Alli coming into rich enough vein of form. It's a tough one...

        1. Disco Stu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I can afford all three. It's just choosing the right one that's tough

  6. the snazzy viking
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Had enough of Morata + Hazard, both going this week

    Eyeing up Firmino + Eriksen as the replacements, but that also gives me money to do other moves elsewhere for hits

    If I were to go with that option, RLC ➡ Arnie looks the best move, but then Richarlison ➡ Mahrez is very tempting with Huddersfield at home

    Not sure what to do as I've done awful past 4 gameweeks

    1. Jsadler95
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      They're both the reason I've now dropped behind in my cash mini league, had a great month bar those two and the other guy who's took the lead doesn't have either and has never had more than one. Hazard has gone for Son now, who'll eventually become Sterling and temporarily got Arnie who I'll switch back to Richarlison next week.

  7. jdp219

    Didn't see the game, but does Willian get the assist for the PK -- so he gets the assist and the goal?

    1. manutd99
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      lol no

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

      Sorry doesn't work like that. Only goal points

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No, don't be silly, a player can't assist themselves. No assist awarded.

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years

      😆

    5. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Like I said, I didn't see the game, yet he has two assists and a goal. I know he assisted on Rudiger. Just wanting to make sure, considering that drawing a foul can mean an assist.

  8. Gazpilicueta
    • 11 Years

    Eriken, Alli or Son?

    you decide...

    1. dunas_dog

      • 16 Years

      Salah has a bit of a bps problem generally, doesn't he? Never seems to get as many as his goals would suggest he might.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years

        Gets any extra point for a goal.

    6. Jsadler95
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Salah my save and grace this week. But feel really good for next week:

      Adrian
      Azpi, Otamendi, Ogbonna
      Salah, Coutinho, Son, Arnautovic, Lingard
      Morata, Kane

      Subs: Pope; Klavan, Calvert-Lewin, Kenny

    7. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Morata to Quaner was my plan
      To enable son and arnie.

      Who is the next best striker in that price range.
      Or is it DCL?

    8. JD @JDCochran2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Will Kane price change in any direction?

      1. Viper
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Don't think so

        1. Big_Andy_GAWA
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Not go up, no?

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        It will go 0.75 diagonal

    9. jia you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Looking forward to the mid-week games, how's she looking?

      Fabianski
      Alonso / Otamendi / Masuaku
      Son(C) / Salah / Lanzini / Pogba / Sane
      Kane(VC) / A differential green vegetable
      (Nor, Duffy, Quaner, Zanka)

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Looks good - not convinced by Kane's fitness I guess?

        Nice week so far btw - 41 points pre-bonus with captain still to go, you're happy with that I guess!

        1. jia you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          True mate, can't complain too much, been a shit FPL season but still trying to enjoy it and I'll always enjoy my footy! Lingard starting for you, could be good mate! It's a 1:30am ko here in Shanghai but I'm staying u to watch it! Just cracking open a beer, GL!!

          1. jia you

    10. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Which two need to go?

      A.Hazard
      B.Richarlison

    11. Pellegrini Falcon
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Want to pull the trigger for -8 (2FTs)
      Diouf, Hazard, Richarlison, Pope OUT
      Vardy, Arnie, Son, Adrian IN

    12. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      All about Eriksen, Alli or Son for the next 2 days. Guaranteed hot topic incoming.

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

      Who is expected to get more gametime between Eriksen and Alli?

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Probably the former, IMO.

    14. Man Getting Hit By Football
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      2FT, Current midfield:

      Hazard • Salah • Sterling • Lingard • RLC

      A. Hazard -> Coutinho
      B. Hazard -> De Bruyne
      C. Hazard -> Son, RLC -> Arnie

      Many thanks!

    15. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Lolrata capper here (also have Haz/Christensen)....34 from 8.... Ota and Sterling to go. Not good. I've Salah to thank for 14 of my 34 points.

    16. RUUD!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Transfer for 1 out

      Mustafi or Christensen

    17. OldBenKenobi
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I know I should know this but what if the people who captained Hazard and VC Salah don’t have anyone to come on from the bench to replace Hazard? Does the capt move to Salah or does it treat it like Hazard just got 0 points? Asking as there’s a few in my ML in this scenario

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Moves to Salah regardless.

      2. Mo Mané No Problems
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Hazard being replaced by bench player is irrelevant. Salah points will be doubled.

      3. MTPockets
          8 years, 1 month ago

          It moves.

        • OldBenKenobi
          • 8 Years

          Thanks!
          Can you tell I’m clutching at straws lol

      4. Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Rage transferred out Hazard and Richarlison

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Bet it feels good though

      5. The Yorkshire Pirlo
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Any reason to hold of these transfers?

        Hazard, Richarlison, Lukaku >>>

        1. The Yorkshire Pirlo
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Son, Arnautovic, Kane*

        2. Maarrrr17
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Don't understand bringing in Arnie for a hit.
          Wouldn't bring him in to play spurs in a normal week, so kind of feels like you're spending 4 points when realistically you would only expect returns in 1 game, if you are lucky at that.

          1. Jeremy Corbyn
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years

      6. Salarrivederci
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        41 with Jones, Otamendi and Sterling is a big fat red arrow right?

        OR 30K

        I know FFScout wisdom can only stretch so far but...

        Which West Ham defender do we reckon is most likely to play both DGW games?

      8. Iceball

      9. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
        • 9 Years

        Phil Jones to establish himself again as essential today.

      10. The Mighty Whites
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Lacazette to Firmino or Christensen to Maguire to afford Gross to Arnautovic (have Salah & Cout already)
