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.

      yep

  2. Emiliano Sala
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    what are you doing with your liverpool's assets ?
    really loved my team but tempted to WC and offload all 3. kane may score more than salah. spurs' games are easy

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      If your only issue is Liverpool's fixtures you should definitely keep your wildcard for later.

    2. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Go with your gut mate. I’m sticking with Mo Bobby and Robbo for now.

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

      form over fixtures, pool are the most attacking team in the league asides from City, why transfer out guaranteed goals ?

      hold your WC until you absolutely need it

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

      Definitely keeping 2 of the 3, foolish to bin all of them.
      Ahhh the old Kane lure. Well for 12.5m i wish you the best of luck with him. Spurs have like 7 away games in next 11 or something like that, too incosistent for that price, whereas Salah is ever reliable.

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

      Nothing this week

  3. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    can't believe i hit my wc haha. just wanted Hazard now and move some funds about, got a little bit out of my bench and changed formation.

    well this is what i have got.

    Hennessey
    Wan Mendy Alonso Shaw
    Salah Hazard Mkhi Lucas
    Mitrovic Aguero

    Ryan Neves Holebas Kamara

    Thoughts?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Decent... id consider downgrading shaw and upgrading Kamara to Jimenez but if Kamara is bench fodder 90% then nice team

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

        *snap* Bennett and Jiminez for me too

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

      Rather downgrade Shaw and upgrade Kamara

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

      You're going to want another wildcard pretty soon.

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

        It's not that bad

      2. Jayv807
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Doesnt matter when you WC, you'll always want another soon after.

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      On Wc too and team is similar. Wouldn't have shaw on WC. Loving ur midfield, attack is very decent

    5. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      rip

    6. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I preferred your previous team - better balance and just needed a tweak 😉

      Foster
      Alonso Mendy Robertson Shaw
      Salah Mkhi B Silva
      Aguero King Mitro
      Fab Tomkins Stephenson Richarlison*

  4. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone expecting a Alonso big points return... You're wrong 🙂 Brooks is playing rw and he'll break the guys ankles

    1. The Train Driver
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Even if they can't keep a CS Alonso has the attacking returns potential. You sound like a scared non owner...

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Oh i own him dw :). But i believe in Brooksy

    2. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Haha

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Woodburn is rubbish uptop btw, decent in cam 🙂

    3. Bat Man
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Sure. Alonso will just drive through him. He has plenty of experience

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Brooks is special, as we will find out on Sat

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

          Would be nice if he got 90 mins

          1. Tsparkes10
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Who do you support? He's v exciting but just easing in to the prem i guess. 12 mil was underpay af

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

              Villa

              1. Tsparkes10
                • 7 Years
                7 years, 3 months ago

                See you this Sat, 2-1 to us 🙂

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

                  Wouldn't surprise. Sick of Bruce negative hoofball. Never wanted him

    People wondering what to do with Liverpool, this may help
    https://soundcloud.com/user-387093267/luck-shock-and-no-bollocks

    1. Bat Man
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I fully agree with this. Look over the next 8 weeks and tough to see Salah justifying 13 over other premium priced options

  6. the dom 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Ings flagged since when???

  7. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    7.0m to replace Richarlison.
    Wally ahead of Pedro probably?

    Patricio.
    Robertson, Alonso, Mendy, Wan-B.
    B.Silva, Salah, Mané.
    Mitrovic, Ings, Aguero.
    Subs- Foster, Peltier, CHO, Rich.
    1ft, 0.4m ITB.

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Mane, Rich to Haz, Fraser 🙂

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

      Pedro has better underlying stats, plays for a better team and has better fixtures for the next 3 in my view

      1. Sz21
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I am worried about his rotation though.

        He and Willian likely to share minutes. Pedro played about 65 mins last game or something.

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

          fair point but the flipside to that is that pedro has outshot walcott 9 to 4 while playing 25 mins fewer

          Everton have also played a man down in 2 of 3 matches so that may have impacted Walcott stats as well

          both great choices, go with your instinct

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

      Pedro

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

    Play Mitrovic or Wilson?

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

      Mitrovic easy

  9. crazyasianac
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Alonso Alli
    or
    Robertson Mane

    Lpool's fixtures look very unappealing. Alr have Hazard, Salah

    1. rjcv177
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Alonso and moura

  10. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Morning DZ

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

    Richarlison & Luiz > Fraser & Alonso (-4)?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yep

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

      Inclined to say yes as I have both

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

      Yes I’d do that.

    4. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      may work out long term but seems unnecessary to upgrade Luiz to Alonso for a -4

      just do it for free next week

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Unless he thinks the hit will be paid instantly by alonso this gw

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

    Which bunch of fruit loops would you rather have? 2 of each selection will be on the bench.

    A) Walker, Hazard, Wilson, Mctominay

    B) Wan-Bissaka, Mkhitaryan, Aubameyang, Gündogan

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Im on WC and currently torn between Haz ir Auba based teams too.

      A slightly because not a fan of gundogan on FPL. Walker is luxury though

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

      I really like Auba but prob A. Not sure on mctominay though, and would prefer Mendy over Walker if you don’t alresdy have

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

        Cheers. Already have Mendy. Mctominay would be 3rd sub. Would never see a playing field lol.

  13. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Set? 1.8 ITB, any meaningful changes necessary?

    Ryan (Hamer)
    Mendy Robertson Alonso AWB (Bennett)
    Salah Hazard Mhki Fraser (Billing)
    Aguero Zaha (Kamara)

    Cheers lads

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

      Upgrade your bench? Or keeper?

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

      Ryan to ederson for city’s fixtures?

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

        Kinda want to keep one city spot open for now

        1. rjcv177
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          D. Silva is the only one above ederson in order for city spot (until kdb return)

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

            Yeah. If arsenal and mhki fail again I’ll likely to mhki to dilva

            1. rjcv177
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Auba owner here and very worried 🙁

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

                Auba seller here after starting with him for the first 3. Find my team was too unbalanced/topheavy with salah Auba aguero.

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Nope gtg

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Cheers mate

  14. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    King to mitro for a hit worth it or stick with king?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe not for a hit.

      Fwiw I'm ditching king with my WC. Would've played him if keeping

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

        Cheers. I plan to wc over the break anyway so best to stick

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Yep imo hit should be for at least a few GWs. No need to take one if ur WCing next week. GL

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      save

    3. waldo666
      • 15 Years

    4. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

    5. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks all

  15. RIDZ
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Richarlison to Walcott or Pedro?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Walcott for me. Getting haz too btw

    2. rjcv177
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Walcott rw nailed. Pedro can loose his spot anytime

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

      I'd go for Pedro, he suits Sarri's play a lot more than Willian

  16. rjcv177
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Hi scouts
    Anything worth a hit?

    Fab
    Alonso, mendy, robbo, awb
    Mane, mkhy, benny silva, wally
    Kun(c), auba

    Foster, king, stephens, a.smith

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Nope. Team is good

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Except the fact you're gambling without salah

        1. rjcv177
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          That was my rule nr.1 since price release

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Haha pretty much justifiable if you're doing well i guess

            1. rjcv177
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              38 shots, dodge bullets in 2...but long seadon ahead lol

              1. NABIL - FPL otai
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 3 months ago

                Lol yeah just make sure u have a big couch in front of telly

      2. rjcv177
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Thkx nabil. Strugling on king vs awb. But if i play king i'm betting against alonso 🙁

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          All in move, i like it

  17. Sporting Lion
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Best 4.5 GK?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Henn or Foster. Some would say Patricio or Ryan

    2. RichRover
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Fab

    3. rjcv177
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Hennesy for next 5 or 6 i guess

  18. Rosey Palmer
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I would not ask but I haven't seen anyone asking.
    Play
    A. King
    B. Fraser

    The one not starting would be first off the bench.

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not much difference. Maybe king since he's on pk

      1. Rosey Palmer
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks...yeah coin toss I figure

  19. FootyFan
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Hennessey

  20. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Ryan or Fabianski for a set and forget? Both have good save potential, fixtures maybe swing it Ryan’s way???

    1. rjcv177
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Imo difference between BRI home & away sends me to fabianski. He will have save points everygame...plus the VERY odd CS once in a while

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

        Thanks. That’s a decent point actually

  21. RubeRx

    Show us your WC team Nabil

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Haha not yet confirmed but currently on this

      Henn hamer
      Mendu robbo alonso awb bennet
      Salah haz mkhi wally westwood
      Kun zaha kamara

      Low TV since some poor GW1 decisions (sanchez, gunnarsson, ditched lucas after GW1)

      Thoughts, please?

      1. rjcv177
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        IMO downgrade robbo to go kamara to mitro, or westwood to pedro

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Cheers yeah thinking about it. But then kamara must got something since he's in Villa Ronke's team lol

      2. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

    9m to spend on a mid
    Any reason not to pick DSilva?
    He looks heavily involved and less likely to be rotated with KDB absent.

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not really nice differential imo

      I really want him, keep swithering between him and Mhki. Currently on Mhki as I have no Arsenal but do have Mendy Kun, but if Arsenal fail again I’ll likely to mhki to Silva

      Go for it

    What's the verdict on Miki vs. Lucas?

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

      I’d prefer Mhki

    How to link team on ffs? Had actually forgotten

  25. Dr. Ante Pavlovic

    Kepa
    VVD, Trippier, Mendy, Luiz, WB
    Salah, Hazard
    Mitrovic, Aguero(c), King

    Bench: Stekelenburg, Neves, Fraser, Masuaku

    Thoughts?

      Sure i’ve seen this posted about 20 times this week 🙂

    Is Aubameyang to Mitro a wise move?

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

      Depends what you’re trying to fund but no for me

  27. Dynamic Duos

    Really tempted to jump on Aubameyang with the fixtures, we all know he is absolutely class.

    1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not class as Kun

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        both

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

      Was really tempted to keep him... but decided against for now. Form over fixtures and all that jazz

  28. Dr. Ante Pavlovic

    Mitrovic was on 6.4% ownership in sunday, on 8,9% when he rose in price and now he is on 12,5% and did not double rise, why?

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

      Wildcards most likely

    Anyone have the feeling Aubameyang wont start??

      Meh

    2. FPL Scoop

      7 years, 3 months ago

      I’d be surprised, kinda pleasantly though as non owner? Then price continues to drop and I can get cheaper at some point

    Who to choose: Hazard/Trippier or Sterling/PVA? Both have decent upcoming fixtures...... humm.......

    1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Haz and Tripp

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

      Haz tripp

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

        Thanks. Thought so too. Trippier looks like he will have a monster season.......
