Watchlist Update – Shift among forwards as Chelsea options tumble

We’ve updated the Watchlist after a manic few days of Fantasy Premier League action.

Going into Gameweek 16 there have been major changes among the forwards.

Meanwhile, Chelsea options take a tumble while a battle continues at the summit of the midfielders section.

The biggest change going into Gameweek 16 is that the top of the forwards section has finally been vacated by Sergio Aguero (£11.3m). His recent injuries and no-shows have pushed him down to sixth place as Fantasy managers focus more on Manchester City’s midfield rather than their attack.

Taking his place at the top of the pile is Tottenham striker Harry Kane (£12.5m) who has scored or assisted in each of his last four matches and still has a favourable run of fixtures ahead of him. He is closely followed by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.3m) who has three goals and an assist in his last four and also has favourable fixtures on the horizon.

Raúl Jiménez (£6.0m) takes the place of Marko Arnautovic as the best budget forward following the West Ham man’s injury. The Wolves striker is proving excellent value for money this season, having either scored or assisted in four of his last five outings. The fixtures aren’t quite as great as a few weeks ago but the newly-promoted side still have Newcastle (away) and Bournemouth (home) before Liverpool (home), although Jiménez has proved he can even register points against the big boys.

Callum Wilson (£7.0m) simply cannot stop scoring which is why he also climbs the charts, although arguably the biggest riser Aleksandr Mitrovic (£6.7m). It has been a topsy-turvy season for the Fulham striker, scoring five goals in his first six matches, blanking for the next six in a row. However, in the last three matches, he has a total of 18 points from two goals and an assist. Reinvigorated under Claudio Ranieri and with good fixtures coming up, Mitrovic could well come back into the template soon.

Replacing Arnautovic as the West Ham representative among the forwards is Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez (£6.3m), who has three goals in his last five outings. Also, in the four matches prior to Gameweek 16, he had actually registered more attempts on goal than Arnautovic from fewer minutes.

Things are tight at the top of the midfielders charts with Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) still holding off competition from Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) and Leroy Sané (£9.4m). Liverpool’s trip to Bournemouth and Manchester City’s top-six clash with Chelsea definitely forms a part of that decision this week, that and the fact that, theoretically, Sterling and Sané are more likely to be rotated than Salah.

Eden Hazard (£11.0m) has slipped down to seventh place given Chelsea’s struggles of late. The player himself has actually produced plenty of chances in recent weeks but his attacking players are not converting those chances, hurting his appeal.

Felipe Anderson (£7.2m), Richarlison (£7.1m) and Christian Eriksen (£9.2m) have all gone above the Chelsea man. Spurs’ Danish midfielder especially seems to be back to his best, providing four assists in the last three Gameweeks. Kieran Trippier has been absent for some of those allowing him a greater role in set pieces once again and even when they played together against Southampton, the Englishman’s corners were often taken short for Eriksen to cross in. An injury doubt over Trippier plays into his owners’ hands going forward.

Andrew Robertson (£6.5m) and Aymeric Laporte (£6.1m) remain the top defensive options despite their recent absences. We still believe they will play more often than not over Christmas and the defensive records of their respective clubs are too good to ignore.

Marcos Alonso (£7.1m) has dropped to fourth amid Chelsea’s recent struggles and their upcoming clash with Manchester City. Matt Doherty (£5.0m) goes above him as he continues to tick over with returns, a goal or an assist in each of his last two matches.

Christopher Schindler (£4.3m) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.2m) are the budget options lower down the rankings while Lewis Dunk (£4.5m) comes in for the suspended Shane Duffy.

Lukasz Fabianski (£4.6m) and Hugo Lloris (£5.4m) are the risers in the goalkeeper section as their fixtures continue to appeal.

            5 years, 3 months ago

            Yes, I have diop, bennett and awb right now and needing to add another defender (got 4.8)

          2. angelopanayiotou
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            I basically have to either take TAA out for a 4.8 defender

            OR
            Take Ederson out for a 5.4 keeper (lloris)

            OR
            Take schurrle out for 5.4 midfielder

            What you think I should so

            1. Holmes
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Schurrle to Snodgrass can work

    Any hint from Pochettino whether can get a rest at the weekend?

    1. Captain Kakaroto (I blame R…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      ** KANE

    2. Lemongrab
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Kane is never rested.

  3. Cruz88
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Davis Silva or Sane, and why?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      sane because he is more attacking?

    2. Fuddled FC
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Sane.

      More explosive and more points.
      The only reason to choose Silva is because he's more nailed and I don't think he is atm

    3. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I'm going both, but if I had to pick one, Sane

  4. Fuddled FC
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Who would you play?

    a) Torriera v Hud
    b) Fraser v Liverpool

    1. claretparrot

      Tough. B

    2. jomikijiq

      B

    4. KGFC
      • 7 Years

      B.. more attcking potential

  5. dandydonadam92
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Calling Arsenal fans. Auba & Laca to both start or are we looking at rotation risk on both.

    Surely logic is Laca to start with Auba resting ?????

    1. Tony Yeboah
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Tend to think that too. Auba(c) massive gamble this weekend imo. Arsenal follower.

    2. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Unknown territory
      Both start I'd guess

    3. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Surely they get a nice rest midweek and Emery can roll out the kids in Europa

    4. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Rest for what?

      Midweek game will be the rest before the next important PL fixture next weekend. Midweek fixture is meaningless for Emery to rest Auba.

    5. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      logic is auba to start and laca to continue from bench

    6. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Arsenal effectively have a week off after the Huddersfield game. Yes, there is a Europa League tie, but Emery will put out the second team / youngsters for that. So he could easily play Auba again and continue to ease Laca back in.

    7. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Both to start

      1. Tony Yeboah
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Don't follow both to start logic. Huddersfield, 17th place? Why didn't both start against utd then?

        1. Kingtekkerz
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Because Emery found it too attacking to start with both in a tough away match

    8. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Both will start IMO

  6. claretparrot

    5 years, 3 months ago

    GTG guys?

    Fab
    Robbo - Foyth - TAA

      Foyth is out

        Thanks. Is that confirmed?

  7. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone else tempted to captain Kane instead of Aubameyang?

    I’ve got a nagging doubt about Auba’s minutes this weekend.

    1. claretparrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Absolutely, although easy for me to say as I have Kane and not Aub!

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Ha, cheers!

    2. Tony Yeboah
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Kane also due a rest though. Played more mins that Auba this season.

      1. claretparrot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        He's never rested. He'll play 60 mins at worst, and only if they're at least two up

    3. suddenorgan
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I've got a nagging doubt about Kane's minutes

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Interesting. He’s played almost every minute, I suppose, and they’ve got Barcelona on Tuesday.

    4. Surfeit of Lampteys
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      If you're worried about his minutes, see fulham and Leicester matches.

    5. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Poch confirmed he’s looking to rotate with Barca on tuesday. Son can play up top if he wants to rest Kane, both auba and kane could be benched IMO

      1. Tony Yeboah
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Agree about Auba and Kane possibly rested. Effing nightmare gw.

    6. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Definitely, I don't have Auba too 😀

      I wouldn't personally. Pea for me, or Mitro

    2. william prunier

      Perfect fit, both like a yellow flag

    3. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      not really suited to Hasenhuttl's style. Ings more suited.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Keeping an eye on Ings.

        If Wilson gets injured or goes off the boil....

      2. suddenorgan
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        out of those 4 strikers you would think Shane Long is the most energetic in terms of pressing but is also a donkey of a striker

  11. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on this 4-4-2 WC team?

    Ederson, Steele
    Alonso, TAA, Kolasinac, Doherty, Digne
    Sterling, Martial, Richarlison, FAnderson, Camarasa
    Kane, Auba, Kamara

    1. william prunier
      • 8 Years

      Like it

    2. claretparrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      It's nice, but I'd bin Martial

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Who for?

        1. claretparrot
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Fraser and upgrade Kamara. You need 15 starters right now

          1. Warby84
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            I had 14 starters bar my keeper mid week and that inc Kamara 8pointer

        2. Aubamazette
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Ederson to Fab and downgrade one of kola/Digne to WanB then Martial to Sane if you can afford

          1. claretparrot
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Like that even more. Though I'd consider Chambers over AwB

            1. Aubamazette
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Personally I prefer Awb you won’t be playing either every week and awb is most likely to keep clean sheets against the smaller sides

      2. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Ederson -> Fabianski would enable Martial -> Son

        1. claretparrot

    4. danishdynamite
      • 13 Years

      Not bad, but ......

      Well not Laca as he might not start a lot of games.

      I know you don't want the double up but Kane, Wilson and Fraser might still accrue you the most points and leave you with money to spend elsewhere.

      Is this a wildcard?

  13. Bartowski

    What is everyone doing with Arnautovic?

    Another West Ham striker or Mitrovic I'm guessing.

    This would be the third time I've transferred in Mitrovic mind you so might be best for everyone who has him if I stay away...

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Arnie and Hazard out for Laca and Siggy for me personally. -4

    2. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Wilson for safety
      Rondon for the mavericks

      1. Bartowski
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        yeah I have Wilson, thought about Rondon but he is a gamble in a team I don't see scoring very often as a whole.

    3. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      In order of preference:

      1. Wilson
      2. Jimenez
      3. Mitrovic
      4. Perez / Chicarito
      5. Ings (if fit)

    4. Front 442
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Mitro has 4 yc so I want to avoid that headache.
      Rondon, Jiminez, Perez or Chico for me but decisions, decisions!
      I already have Kane and Wilson

      1. Bartowski
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Ah good info, didn't know about the yellow cards.

        If I was going to pick from West Ham I'd probably say Chico but I know whichever one I go for the other will score more...

        1. Front 442
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Theres really nothing in it I think between all of the above mentioned. I think Perez and Rondon wilt points this weekend but it's just those fixtures of WH's that are making want to take the punt.
          I might put the names into a hat it's tat close of a call for me.

    5. XabiAlonso
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Sold him for rondon to go along with auba and Wilson. Wilson on the bench this week

    6. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      actually considering just benching this week and waiting to see what West Ham do, does Mitrovic get through tomorrow without a yc, how Arsenal start.
      Think i want to roll a transfer to see how the big hitters get on and have a mini-WC next week.
      Risky strategy but torn between going 2 big up top or the opposite and bringing in kamara for 3-5-2.

        That makes sense but I want to avoid a price drop of Arnie and use the money next week for a midfielder providing no injuries, suspensions happen this to my team. I can't afford Abba with out a hit or two so I'll be buying a budget striker any which way I turn so I may as well do it this week as the fixtures do favour all of my possible choices.

    Auba is one of those rare players you could realistically expect a hattrick from tomorrow. Have a good feeling about captaincy.

    Then again I have 15 weeks of minimum 12 point captain returns so it has to end sooner or later.... hopefully not tomorrow.

      Shame there was a midweek game, would have been a potential TC

        Haha how subtle - 16 consecutive weeks surely isn’t possible.

      I have a good feeling about Auba. All this nonsense about a rest is ridiculous, although there’s a chance is makes 0 sense for Emery to rest him with a dud game on Thursday. A rest this weekend would result in a 11 day rest, unwarranted really.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Agreed - stranger things have happened, but I can’t see a rest.

        I can see an absolutely disgustingly large haul of points though. Like 2 assists type of damage.

        Arsenal are in form & Huddersfield are dirge.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          *hattrick + 2 assists!

        2. Warby84
          • 8 Years

          Worth a TC

      2. Tony Yeboah
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        A rest isn't the right way of looking at it imo. The concern is more if you start laca and bring on Auba at 70mins. If laca was injured or off form then this would be unlikley but neither is true so it's not clear cut.

    Realistically the chances of Spurs turning over Barca at the Nou Camp have to be considered extremely slim, right? And Leicester are no pushovers that they can expect to roll over with a shadow team. So given how competitive the top 4 is looking, this talk of resting Kane sounds like folly if Poch is at all pragmatic and considers the balance of probabilities & the importance of qualifying for the CL next season.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      No chances are good - Barca have a bit of fixture congestion of their own, and have won the group regardless of result so could field a reserve side

    2. Runaway
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      It is not that slim given Barca guaranteed to win the group but still not a reason to bench Kane against Leicester I guess.

    3. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Doesn't rest Kane even when he's unfit/injured so I'd be surprised.
