In the first part of this week’s set pieces article we have uncovered some interesting match-ups for Gameweek 4.

We’ve managed to uncover the fact that the side to have conceded the most attempts from dead ball situations in the first three Gameweeks will be facing the striker with the most shots from them – the stuff of Fantasy Football dreams.

Fantasy Football Scout members can view the data both in the Members Area and in the article below, where we go into a bit more detail.

    1. Lone Wolf FPL

      7 years, 3 months ago

      Zaha is a not clear ingo. Wait for presser.
      Ings trained today so look ok

      1. theroadrunner
        • 9 Years

        when did zaha become unfit?

    1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Would have to be next week unless for a hit, which seems silly.

        Yes

    2. AnfieldLad

    1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 7 Years

      There's only wan bissaka

    2. The Baby-faced Assassin
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      AWB... just.

    3. chaser123

    Thoughts on DDG and mane > hazard and lloris

    1. el_haf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Don't quite think Mane > Hazard is much of an upgrade...

      1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        In terms of fixtures it could be. And I don't think mane will maintain this form. For me that half is fine, just a little uncertain on the lloris pick

  5. el_haf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Wild card team:

    Ederson - 4.0

    Mendy, Alonso, Robertson, Wan-Bissaka, Bennett

    Salah - Mane - Pedro - Lucas - Schneiderlin

    Ings - Wilson - Aguero

    Comments appreciated

      you need to listen to this, it very relevant to your team

      1. el_haf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Hah! I even had DDG to start the season with he rationale he gave.

      2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        DDG very obvious mistake

    2. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      It works for me. As long as ings is a little pot of money to upgrade Wilson when someone like Zaha or arnie gets really hot. May just pick Zaha myself though.

    3. caldracula
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I’d downgrade ings, get Haz instead of Mane and play 442

  6. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Three Pool players looking excessive with their fixture list. Hmmmm.

    1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Think they'll get goals regardless. Wouldn't like the look of two defensive players though. Think robbo is okay though given assist potential.

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        More worried about rotation with CL

    2. el_haf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Have had all 3 since GW1, so have gains in Robertson and Mane.

      Could dump Salah, but where would you reinvest those funds?

      Salah + Pedro -> Hazard + ??

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Eriksen

        Or it allows to go with two up top

      2. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Dilva?

    3. The Baby-faced Assassin
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Fixtureproof

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Not if they’re being rested they’re not

        1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Surely that applies to everyone though?

          1. Ha.
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            More so due to nature of their games. I also don’t own any Spurs or United and only two City players.

    4. puhd
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Pool are fixture proof

  7. The Baby-faced Assassin
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Patricio (Button)

    Mendy - Alonso (vc) - Robertson - AWB (Bennett)

    Mahrez - Mane - Salah - Walcott (Westwood)

    Zaha - Aguero (c) (Kamara)

    Good to go or any hits worth taking?

    1. el_haf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Mahrez wouldn't be my first choice for City mids, but other than that looks pretty good.

      1. The Baby-faced Assassin
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Had him since day 1 and not had chance to shift him yet. Will be going after this week!

    2. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      If you're thinking mahrez gets one last chance then yeah. Given rafa will Park the bus I wouldn't be surprised by a similar teamsheet to the Huddersfield game though.

  8. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Time to swap Bilva to Lucas?

    Stick or twist?

    1. The Baby-faced Assassin
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I’d probabaly stick for this week, Newcastle a much tastier fixture.

    2. el_haf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Twist. City midfield / wings is anyone's guess...Lucas average position has been extremely high (further forward than Kane's last match IIRC).

      Think he will kick on and is more nailed on.

  9. The Final Boss
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Ings been flagged ...out confirmed????

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Trained today so looks like he is ok

      1. The Final Boss

        Thanks mate

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

      If it was confirmed he would have a red flag.

      1. The Final Boss

        Hmm..Thanks mate

  10. Hardly Athletic
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Kamara > Zaha
    Mane > Lucas Moura

    Worth a 4 point hit?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      One for captain hindsight. Were you starting Kamara?

      1. Hardly Athletic
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        He was going to be on the bench in a 5-3-2 (I'm holding on to Richarlison). These two transfers would mean I play 4-3-3 this week.

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I’d just sell Rich for free

    2. General_Zod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Nah, Id wait a week. No point being 4 down especially if Mane goes nuts.

    3. puhd
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Don’t sell Mane

  11. Tornado
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Pick taa or jimenez on a wc ( subs would be either bennet or kamara)

    Play Schlupp or AWB? OOP but risky for full 90. Manager made comment about Schlupp being first team after Carabao Cup.

    Thanks in advance!

  16. All about the Mané
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Lost at end of previous post....

    Used FT for Hughes>Lingard this wk as had 1.8m in the bank. Seriously thought about a gamble to do Mkhi>Ramsey but maybe in 2 wks.
    Difficult picking my strongest team and knowing who to bench.

    Peoples thoughts on preferred line-up plz?

    Hamer
    Mendy | Alonso | TAA
    Alli | Mkhi | Mane | Hazard | Lingard
    Mitrovic | Aguero(c)

    Subs :- Begovic | Wan-Bas | Ings | Bennett

    0.0m ITB

    1. conorbon
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Really like that team!
      I would play Wan Bissoko over TAA but good to go in my opinion

      1. All about the Mané
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        That's the 2 players I couldn't make my mind up on. Palace like to conced but Liverpool have had 3 clean sheets so far....but will it last?

  17. rnrd
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Who would you replace richarlison by?

    A- jota?
    B- maddison?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I’d prefer Wally or Pedro to either

    2. Chucky
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Wally?

    3. conorbon
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Walcott

    4. All about the Mané
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      If you want to go Leicester then how about Demarai Gray. Stats are great and should pick up goals, assists and bonus points......plus you'll be 1.0m better off 🙂

  18. Chucky
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Tosun keep or ditch?

    1. conorbon
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Ditch for Wilson or Mitrovic

      1. Chucky
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        cheers... what if he scores against hudd... perfect opportunity for him to score a brace...

        1. conorbon
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          You could keep for a week but long term the other two and potentially Ings offer more points and they are cheaper

  19. Fantasytom
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    On WC, best rotating GKs?

    And is Hamer nailed?

    1. puhd
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Hamer will most likely lose his spot at some point

    2. conorbon
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I haven’t used rotating keepers for a few years as I kept benching the points each week. Prefer going for a 5.5/6 mil and a 4 mil bencher. However Hennessy has great fixtures and is only 4.5

    3. SPorting
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Ryan/Button for an 8.5m set and forget.

      1. Ibracadabra
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        On this currently but really want to find 1M for Ederson. Think City can pick up 3 clean sheets in next 4...

  20. conorbon
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Hi All.

    Good to go with this WC team?

    Ederson, Speroni.
    Bednarek, Bennett, Wan-Bissoko, Mendy, Alonso.
    Lerma, Lucas, Mikitayrian, Hazard, Salah.
    Wilson, Mitrovic, Aguero.

    Thanks All!

    1. puhd
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Bednarek not a great pick. Whose Lerma?

      I like everything else.

      1. conorbon
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks! Put Bednarek in as my 5th defender as I will never use him and he only cost 3.9. Lerma is Bournemouth’s record signing who they are easing in, thought i would go a bit left field on him

        1. puhd
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I see, looks good mate!

          1. conorbon
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Thanks buddy. Just have to resist making any more changes before Saturday!

        2. Spurs4ever
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Lerma is a defensive midfielder who has got 35 yellow cards in 89 matches last three seasons. Did you know this?
          https://www.transfermarkt.com/jefferson-lerma/leistungsdaten/spieler/262980/plus/0?saison=2017

      2. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        You like Speroni?

    2. Chucky
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      looks good..

    3. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      It seems like you could probably find a couple of players who have at least a small chance of playing rather than Bednarek, Lerma and Speroni

      1. conorbon
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Don’t have any money in the bank tho. Always going to play Ederson so Speroni will always be benched and i have a good feeling about Lerma. Only other 4.5s are Stephens and Gudezoni who don’t exactly scream points.

        1. Dthinger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I would be worried about rotation in your team. You could at least get Hamer, who has a chance of playing. If Mendy, Aguero and Mkhitarian get benched (not a crazy suggestion, plus Hazard might not start) you'll be in rough shape with Bennet, Bednarek and Lerma coming off the bench. I'd wait til Lerma actually plays before taking a risk on him. There are others at 4.5.

  21. puhd
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    How’s this team looking?

    Kepa/Patricio
    Robertson PVA Wan Bissaka (Cook, Bednarek)
    Mane Salah Walcott BSilva (Cairney)
    Wilson Zaha Aubameyang

    1. conorbon
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Like it, will having no Aguero hurt you especially with them having Newcastle this week

    Are these CL fixtures out yet?

    1. puhd
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

      1. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        So who do Liverpool play first?

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Leicester

      2. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Where?

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          They only just dmade the draw

          1. FPL Maldini
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Well they said it would be 2 hours after and it is 2 hours 30 mins after. Only reason I asked...

            1. Woy of the Wovers
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              They took over an hour to draw 64 balls out of a pot. Only needed 24 so assume everything takes 166% longer than necessary.

              Looking at Moscow's draw they might need to run the fixtures past Putin too.

  23. kraftwerker

    7 years, 3 months ago

    good to go? currently siding with wanB over Ings, Soton look toothless under Hughes.

    Hennessey
    Mendy Robertson Alonso WanB
    Salah Mane Mkhi Walcott
    Aguero(c) Mitrovic

    Hamer - Ings Fraser Bennett

    1. conorbon
      • 12 Years

      Defo good to go. Maybe start Fraser over Wan B as you already have Hennessy and we haven’t exactly looked strong at the back since Sarri came in (Luiz playing in a back 4!)

      It's not out yet. Don't know what's taking so long.

    Play Jimenez (WHA defence poor) or Wan-B (clean sheet and baps) ?

      Wan-B

    Not completely happy with my team but not sure anything is worth a hit, thoughts?

    Ederson
    Robertson Alonso Tomkins
    Salah Mane Bilva Walcott
    Kun(c) Zaha King

    Hamer WB Billing Peltier

      Looks good for this week. Could also use your wildcard over int break if you think major changes are needed.

    every article seems like "member's only" nowadays.

    Best Richarlison replacement? And why`?
    A: Lucas Moura
    B: Mkhi
    C: Walcott

    1. The Bandit

      Wally because he’s the only one who isn’t more expensive and has the same fixtures

    2. conorbon

      Moura, seems like he’s playing as more of a second striker and has a great understanding with Kane

    Liverpool in September

    Liverpool V napoli
    Liverpool V Spurs ( league )
    Liverpool V chelsea ( cup)
    liverpool v Chelsea ( league)
    liverpool v City ( league)

    Not sure how accurate this is

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Have Southampton (H) between Spurs (A) and Chelsea (Cup)

  30. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE

    Mane to Hazard (C)?

    Own Salah & Robertson but Liverpools Fixtures aren’t the best
