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.

    Who will get the least minutes in September tough fixture run?

    A) Mane

    B) Firmino

    1. olly:)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      question worded weirdly but firmino gets more total mins imo.

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        He only missed the 's out in September dictionary corner.

    2. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A

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

      A

    4. Fat Frank
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'd say virtually the same, 70-75 mins each match on average

    5. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A for sure.

  2. olly:)

    Ryan (Button)
    Alonso Mendy Robbo AWB (Marchand)
    Salah Mane BSilva Walcott (Stephens)

    7 years, 3 months ago

    Ryan
    Alonso | Mendy | TAA
    Salah | Mane | Neves | Hughes | Kenedy
    Kane | Aguero

    Hamer | AWB | Bennett | Kamara

    0.1ITB

    Thanks

    1. Over The Mounié
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. olly:)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      yes that mid really needs work

      1. Fat Frank
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks both, just experimenting on WC

    3. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Aye. Need at least one more big hitter in there

      1. Fat Frank
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers

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

        or at least a medium hitter

    4. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I couldn't live with it.

      I like Kane but this season I think Hazard + 2m to invest in midfield makes for a better team unless Kane becomes essential.

      1. Fat Frank
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers. Yeah think I need to sacrifice Alonso (def want Kane) to improve those mids.

        Thanks

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Sacrifice Mane or Salah imo.

          Mane + cheap mid --> Pedro + Moura

          or

          Salah + cheap mid + cheap mid --> Miki + pedro + moura

          Wally and Maddison are other options

      2. CSF150473
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Kane is definitely essential

  4. Notaclue
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts appreciated on
    Mane, mahrez, Daniels, arnie
    To
    Hazard, mkhi, Alonso, Jimenez?
    As part of wc
    Cheers.

    1. olly:)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      looks good

    2. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Worth it for Haz and Alonso particularly I think

    3. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      All but Arnie -> Jimenez is very good, so good transfers in total!

    4. Fat Frank
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Would keep Mane and Arnie

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        and Aguero and Kane? Sorry, just jk

  5. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    A) Richarlison -> Mkhi + 0,5 + 1FT

    B) Richarlison + Mane -> Walcott + Hazard

    1. Bielsa's Bucket
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      B

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      B sounds good

    3. The Artist
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      b

    4. yanks250125
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A

  6. Homo Neanderthalensis
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Arsenal assets worth it for their run of nice fixtures? Or is it a steer clear situation?

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

      Auba's xG and stats look good. Mkhi looks good and Ramsey could be gold if he keeps those runs and average positions.

      Bellerin and Monreal won't keep too many clean sheets, but at their prices and with their attacking potential, they could have some hauls in with a few 2 pointers.

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Wondering this myself but not drawn to any Arsenal players.

      Mkhi seems slightly underpriced but there are good 6-6.5m options elsewhere.

    3. The Artist
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'm banking on the answer being a resounding yes.

  7. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    How likely is it that David Silva gets rested in prem games to play in the champions league games?

    1. Moosie the Staggie
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not very imo.
      They got they easiest Champions League draw so will more likely field weakened (if there is such a thing for City) teams in that competition.

  8. stamboy
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Robertson > Alonso for a hit? Guessing no

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

      Ridiculous

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

        LOL

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

    If on a WC would it be better to get Firmino over Mane as he may get more minutes in this tough fixture list for Liverpool?

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

      Not sure sorry don't know enough about them

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

      I wouldn't get either

    3. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Right now on a WC I would get Salah but neither Mane or Firms.

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

        Why not Mane? Is Salah so much better for the extra money?

        1. Red Dagger ✪
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Mane is just more streaky for me. I'm a Liverpool fan so I watch all the games. Mane is more hot and cold than Salah. I'd keep Salah and turn Mane into Hazard with the upcoming fixtures and then hop back on Mane later.

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

            From watching the games do you think Firmino has more stamina than Mane?

            1. Red Dagger ✪
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Not at the moment. Firms looks a little off the pace. I had Firms but sold him this week. I do think Firms will come good and then obviously he is great value but right now I'm going to go without until he passes the eye test.

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

                I can’t afford Salah on my WC so which would you get from Mane and Firmino? Or completely avoid Liverpool until after September?

                1. Pep says
                  • 10 Years
                  7 years, 3 months ago

                  Just Salah

                2. Red Dagger ✪
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 8 Years
                  7 years, 3 months ago

                  Without Salah then I think I'd go Mane just to cover yourself to be fair. I don't think you can go without a Liverpool forward and I wouldn't go Firms if you can only have one.

            2. Red Dagger ✪
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Plus I think at some point Klopp will start rotating Mane with Shaq.

          2. The Artist
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Last season Salah scored a point every 9.6 minutes he played. Mane scored a point every 14.9 minutes he played. Definitely tips toward Salah but it just doesn't seem likely that Salah will replicate last year's dominance while Mane has performed better in the past than he did last season.

            Just saying there is definitely an argument to be made that Mane can replace Salah in a top FPL squad.

    4. E25
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Would probably avoid mane and firm on wc. Unless no Salah then just go mane

    5. Petrichor II
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Just take Mohamad ..Salah

  10. stamboy
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Is it insane getting in Hazard for Goldenballs Salah?

    1. SB007
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I am thinking of being a contrarian and doing the same

      Then I can have Aguero/Kane/D Silva/Haz

  11. Red Dagger ✪
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Play PVA and AWB in a back 5 of Mendy, Alonso, Robbo, PVA and AWB or is that too much Palace and play a 4-3-3 with Fraser in midfield...?

    Cheers.

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

      Think palace has more upside

      1. Red Dagger ✪
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I agree for this week it's just i rarely play 5 at the back and usually favor the forward player over a defender but this week I think AWB is the better pick...? The double Palace thing makes me worry a bit though...

    2. Louis Van Gaalstones
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I have the exact same defence, tempted myself, but for me I'd have to drop Mkhi, Bilva or Arnie, probably not worth it

  12. Monya Meow Meow
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Hate using hits so early in the season but with Ings & Tomkins both looking unlikely to start, is it worth it to do Tomkins > Alonso for a -4?

    Also, this might be a stupid question to ask since I'm still new to FPL but does the fact that I will most likely WC next week change the above thought?

    Thanks!

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

      Who are your other subs?

      1. Monya Meow Meow
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Current team as it stands:

        Patricio
        Mendy Robbo AWB
        Salah Mane Fraser Bilva Neves
        Kun Zaha

        Forster Ings Tomkins Peltier

        Thanks!

    2. E25
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah I probably wouldnt take a hit for 1 week unless you're very confident the player coming in will make up 4+ points

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

        If you have only 10 fit players your bet hit should be just -2 as everyone gets 2 points for playing so then definitely worth IMHO

        1. Monya Meow Meow
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I have 11 fit players assuming both Bilva and AWB starts, team as above thanks.

      2. Monya Meow Meow
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        If Alonso comes in, I will play him over Fraser or Neves.
        High chance of him outscoring either by 4 points?

  13. Latch86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Draft query:

    I've got Willian... clearly hasn't been doing much for my team and there are a few alternative options on our waiver. Which option do you think is best?

    (1) Townsend
    (2) Milivojevic
    (3) Felipe Anderson
    (4) Jota
    (5) Iwobi
    (6) Doucoure
    (7) Demarai Gray
    (8) Stick with Willian

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

      Not sure how this works is money involved?

      1. Latch86
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        No, it's FPL Draft so players who've not been picked up are in a free pool - so no need to worry about budgets

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

          In that case Townsend as Palace have a nice run of fixtures coming up. Could go Milvo if you fancy palace to get pens

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

      In order:
      3, 2, 7, 4, 8, 1, 6, 5

    3. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      5 or 7 I reckon

    4. yanks250125

  14. Jay_
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I've wildcarded. Any under the radar tips? I like Doherty 4.4 over Bennett 4.0. Bennett not nailed right?

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Doherty rotates nicely with AWB as well

        1. Jay_
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Sure does. Ta mate

          • stamboy
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Nice point

        2. Blame it on Traore
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Doherty has potential attacking returns in his locker too. Did well in the Championship going forwards last season

          1. Jay_
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Cheers mate. Yep. RWB

              1. Blame it on Traore

                • 10 Years

                No worries pal

            • 13 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            I would never want to play a Wolves defender so would rather have the extra cash.

            1. Jay_
                7 years, 3 months ago

                Cheers mate. CL rotation upcoming though. Need some kind of bench

                1. Moosie the Staggie
                  • 13 Years
                  7 years, 3 months ago

                  It's always over exaggerated imo, Christmas is the time for a strong bench.
                  There be reduced minutes but don't see many being totally dropped, unless it's City.

                  1. Moosie the Staggie
                    • 13 Years

                    Gl with the wildcard btw

              What would you prefer out of the two below? Any opinions appreciated!

              A) Hennessey and Arnautovic

              B) Ederson and Wilson (I’d have to start him vs Chelsea)

              1. Jay_
                  7 years, 3 months ago

                  A. Because I listened to Triggerlips (legend) and he's right. Plus you can genuinely cheer a an Arnie G 😉

                  1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané

                    Cheers, good point about Arnie!

                    What did trigger lips have to say?

                    1. Jay_
                        7 years, 3 months ago

                        Not wasting too much money in goal or sitting on bench.

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

                    Tricky both good. A allows more flexibility of changing striker but I read Arnie was a doubt. Whose your other keeper?

                    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané

                      7 years, 3 months ago

                      Thanks. This was my thinking to, I could get armies nice next two fixtures, then downgrade to Wilson....

                      Hamer is my other keeper

                      1. stamboy

                  Worth taking a hit to get rid of Cairney? Can get someone up to 5.5m. I can also just play Chilwell vs LIV

                    Interesting team. I like it. Not so sure about Monreal though. Is he nailed? Better value than an Arsenal defender elsewhere?

                      • 7 Years
                      7 years, 3 months ago

                      Arsenal have good fixtures and I watched him intently on weekend and he was in advanced attacking positions. A sure goal threat. I can get Bellend instead but Nacho was more central when crosses come in.

                          Very disappointed to have dropped out of top 50k so want to make up some points by doing something differently.

                          Liverpool do have a harder schedule coming up.

                          I'm talking my way into it!!

                            Top 50k doesn't mean much at this stage of the season. Points spread is too small

                            7 years, 3 months ago

                            Now is not the time to do something differently haha, but everyone is different 🙂

                  2. Salah’s Sonnet
                    • 14 Years
                    7 years, 3 months ago

                    No Salah or even ANY liverpool mids at all?

                    1. SB007
                      • 7 Years
                      7 years, 3 months ago

                      Nope - thats the experiment I'm going to go for this season

                      The question is will D Silva Hazard and Kane make up for Salah + lightweight others

                      I think Mane at risk of resting.

                      1. Pep says
                        • 10 Years
                        7 years, 3 months ago

                        'lightweight others'? Kane is 12.5m so there's only 0.5m in the difference. Could easily have Silva, Haz and Salah and have almost an identical team. Maybe 4.0 keeper instead of 4.5m

                      2. Salah’s Sonnet
                        • 14 Years
                        7 years, 3 months ago

                        That’s fair enough 🙂 Hazard can often frustrate from past seasons, if he continues that i don’t know. D Silva is great, but just don’t know how much he’s gonna play, it’s why i’m staying clear of city mids just to avoid that minefield.
                        Kane has something like 7 away games in the next 11 or something? I’m waiting on him to show consistency.
                        It’s a worthy experiment though, has great potential.

                        1. SB007
                          • 7 Years
                          7 years, 3 months ago

                          Teams park the bus - Silva and Haz are great for consistency.

                          Spurs will have big confidence boost post Man U result

                          The question I'm posing is if Salah is upsetting the rest of the balance in my team vs the points he will get against combinations of other players.

                          1. Salah’s Sonnet
                            • 14 Years
                            7 years, 3 months ago

                            Haz? Consistent? 🙂

                            It was United in disarray, Spurs won’t play them every week. Confidence boost or not.
                            Build the team around Salah, not worth the risk going without the most prolific goalscorer from last season, and is already off to a fantastic start.

                        Hughes. Cairney when fit. Kante is a trap imo.

                        Spare another 0.5m (if this is your 4th mid and not 5th. If 5th just take Guendouzi or Westwood)

                        5.5m mids have some real value. Fraser, Hendrick or Gray all look outstanding picks for the price.

                          7 years, 3 months ago

                          Would be for 5th mid (have Fraser). Better to save the 0.5?

                            I have Fraser as 4th mid and Cairney as 5th. I don't see anything at 4.5. Get Hughes I guess and pick up Cairney when he is fit if you want.

                              Thanks. Would you prefer 4.5GK, Hamer and Hughes, or rotating 4.5 Gks and a 4.5 mid?

                                I would have 4.5 and Hamer + 4.5 mid with 0.5m in the bank.
                                I hate rotating keepers though. Get it wrong more often than right.

                        It has to be extraordinary circumstances for me to ever have a cheap player from an elite club.
                        It just blocks you from ever owning 3 premium assets from that team if the need arises.

                        Robbo is more likely to get goals or assists. His stats show more crosses

                        Like the look of Pereyra but next two fixtures suck.

                        I think Moura

                          Really like Moura but feel i’m chasing last weeks points :-/

                      If Auba doesn't score this week, he is out. I will upgrade Lowton to Alonso but which striker should I get for 9.6m or less to replace Auba?

                        • 10 Years

                        Morata

                        1. The Big Fella
                          • 9 Years
                          7 years, 3 months ago

                          He's looked shite so far, only scored 1 and only just played an hour last match and about 70 something game before. Why him?

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

                            Worth a shot withthose fixtures, but probably want Hazard for that

                          2. noquarternt

                            7 years, 3 months ago

                            You must be joking? Did you watch the Arsenal game? The shot that fizzled over the bar with a bit of variance could've gone in and then we're talking a haul and everyone pulling him in.

                            Combined with those fixtures, no CL and Sarri saying how much he likes him. That Chelsea team will keep scoring goals and he'll be there as well.

                        7 years, 3 months ago

                        Zaha

                        1. The Big Fella
                          • 9 Years
                          7 years, 3 months ago

                          Yeah I was debating Zaha. Zaha or punt on Lacazette if he starts this week

                          1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
                            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                            7 years, 3 months ago

                            I think if Zaha was priced 9M you’d go for him. But because he’s 7M and you have 9.6M to spend on a forward you naturally want to buy a higher priced player.

                            Zaha for me especially with those fixtures, can then upgrade elsewhere with your spare 2.5M

                            Personally I couldn’t trust 9.5M on Laca, you just don’t know when he’s going to play or not.

                            1. The Big Fella
                              • 9 Years
                              7 years, 3 months ago

                              You're right. Great insight. I will do Zaha (but hoping Auba gets a hattrick still)

                              1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
                                • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                                7 years, 3 months ago

                                Auba is bound to score eventually ! Good luck.

                      Hazard or bust?

                      Is it worth destroying my midfield to get hazard in the team?
                      Have Salah / Bilva / Pedro / Mhki / Neves in my midfield.
                      Dont want to change my def (Alonso / Mendy / Robbo / AWB / Peltier)
                      Dont want to change my fwds (Aguero / Zaha / Mitro)
                      I could move to Salah / Hazard / R Fraser / Kante / Neves
                      But that feels like 2 great (Salah / Hazard) and 3 low quality ( Fraser / Kante / Neves)
                      As opposed to 1 great Salah / 3 medium (Bilva / Mkhi / Pedro) / 1 low (Neves)
                      But moving everything around would take me 3 weeks of transfers and feels like putting too much risk on one player

                      I have wasted HOURS today working through different options this. Please help me...

                      Really want Hazard and am thinking of getting rid of Salah as it will allow more flexibility as opposed to Mane (straight swap not an option as lack of funds).

                      Decisions:

                      A) Salah > Hazard
                      B) A plus Neves > Pedro
                      C) A plus Robbo > Alonso
                      D) A plus King > Arnie
                      E) A plus King > Zaha
                      F) Madness, do nothing

                      My reasoning for dropping Salah is the tough schedule for Liverpool plus Chelsea have a couple of good home fixtures.

                          Don't u think Hazard will outscore Salah this week?

                            Nah. Salah's stats are the best of anyone and he's returned every game. No need to lose for Hazard this week.

                            Think both will do well though.

                        Salah’s been a class above Mane stats wise, I expect him to be nothing less than essential again. Find a way to sell Mane for Hazard.

                          I had Sane originally and realised I should have bought
                          Mane
                          I used my wildcard to buy Robbo / Alonso / Mendy and do general surgery.
                          Now I have Bilva and think I want Dilva
                          But I really really want Hazard
                          But I bought Vardy in GW2, red card
                          Bought Richarlison last week, red card
                          So I think I should probably sit back and do nothing for a couple of weeks...

                          King has been useless. Mitro looks much better option
                          Was Neves flash in the plan? Who knows
                          I like Pedro but the six week projection says nope
                          I like Mkhi, but god knows what is going on at Arsenal
                          I have more questions than answers.............
