Fixtures

Who has the best and worst upcoming FPL fixtures?

Our regular “frisk” of the Premier League fixture list from a Fantasy perspective returns for the first time in 2019.

In this feature, we assess the top-flight clubs with the strongest and weakest runs of league matches over the coming weeks and offer our thoughts on the stand-out Fantasy assets from each of the sides discussed.

Although our primary focus will be on a six-Gameweek lookahead, we will scrutinise the long-term fixtures beyond that point where relevant.

The Strong

Tottenham Hotspur

Next six: MUN, ful, WAT, NEW, LEI, bur

Possible turning point: che (Gameweek 28)

Spurs are just over halfway through their excellent sequence of fixtures that began in Gameweek 15.

A resurgent Manchester United might prove to be stiff opposition this Sunday but the Red Devils have still only kept three clean sheets all season (the shut-out against Newcastle United was their first under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer) and remain less than convincing at the back.

The underlying defensive stats are positive under Solskjaer: United rank second for fewest shots on target conceded and third for fewest big chances conceded since the Norwegian took charge.

The calibre of United’s last four opponents has to be taken into account though and the jury remains out on a backline that still includes Phil Jones (£5.1m), who has looked suspect alongside the more impressive Victor Lindelof (£4.8m).

Son Heung-min (£8.8m) exits for the Asian Cup after Gameweek 22 and it remains to be seen how his departure affects Spurs’ attacking output, but the Lilywhites unquestionably have some fine fixtures regardless – including a triple-header at home against Watford, Newcastle and Leicester City.

All six of their next opponents rank among the bottom 11 teams for shots in the box conceded over the last six Gameweeks, with Watford, Newcastle and Fulham in the bottom five for attempts on target allowed over that period.

Leicester’s record of seven big chances conceded over the last six Gameweeks is inferior to only three other teams, however.

No side has kept as many clean sheets as Spurs in the last six Gameweeks, a run that has included shut-outs against two teams they face in Gameweeks 26 and 27: Leicester and Burnley.

Those two sides plus Newcastle and Fulham rank in the bottom half of the table for shots on target in Gameweeks 16-21.

Leicester, Fulham and Newcastle also sit in the bottom four for fewest goals scored over this period.

Liverpool

Next six: bha, CRY, LEI, whu, BOU, mun

Possible turning point: mun (Gameweek 27)

One of only three teams who avoid a “big six” side in the next five Gameweeks (the others being Everton and Southampton: see below), Liverpool’s fixtures command attention for those Fantasy managers with or indeed without the likes of Mohamed Salah (£13.3m).

The likelihood of huge attacking returns in the next three Gameweeks might not be as probable as it seems, though: Brighton, Palace and Leicester rank in the top seven sides for fewest big chances conceded since the beginning of December (Gameweek 14 onwards).

Liverpool “only” scored a total of five goals against these three clubs in the respective reverse fixtures but the Reds are now a different proposition to the somewhat restrained team they were in the first month of the season, ranking top or joint-top for attempts on goal, shots in the box, big chances and indeed goals scored since the start of last month.

Jurgen Klopp’s team found the net on 11 occasions in the reverse fixtures of the matches in Gameweeks 25-27, though Manchester United will be a different prospect to the limp side that they faced in Jose Mourinho’s final game in charge.

Nevertheless, only Fulham have recorded fewer clean sheets than both the Red Devils and West Ham this season, while Bournemouth have shipped six more goals than any other team (22 in total) since the beginning of December – including three to Salah in Gameweek 16.

Liverpool’s remaining Premier League fixtures in January most definitely offer the possibility of further clean sheets (the Reds have 12 already in 2018/19), with Brighton, Palace and Leicester in the bottom six for biggest chances created over the last eight Gameweeks.

Everton

Next six: BOU, sou, hud, WOL, wat, MCI

Possible turning point: MCI (Gameweek 27)

Everton’s lack of clean sheets of late – not a single shut-out in the last eight Gameweeks – is the source of much discussion in the Fantasy community regarding the appeal of Lucas Digne (£5.2m) and the Toffees’ next five matches could very well represent the French left-back’s swansong in our Fantasy squads, with Everton’s fixtures stiffening from Gameweek 27 onwards.

Huddersfield’s struggles for goals this season (13 in 21 league fixtures) offers a glimmer of hope for a rare clean sheet in Gameweek 24, while Bournemouth, Southampton and Wolves sit in the bottom half of the table for shots in the box over the last eight Gameweeks.

Five of their next six opponents (the Terriers being the predictable exception) are all scoring at a rate better than a goal a game since the start of December, however, while Everton rank second-bottom for big chances conceded during that time.

For those who own Richarlison (£6.9m) and co, however, there are encouraging omens.

Everton have scored against all of their next six opponents already this season, including Manchester City at the Etihad.

Five of their next half-dozen opponents (including Pep Guardiola’s side, who like Everton are without a clean sheet since November) also rank in the bottom half of the table for big chances conceded in the last eight Gameweeks.

Southampton

Next six: lei, EVE, CRY, bur, CAR, ars

And then: FUL

Possible turning point: mun (Gameweek 29)

Southampton’s upturn in fixtures prompted our recent analysis of two of their budget midfielders, with the Saints having the “easiest” run of matches over the next seven Gameweeks according to our Season Ticker.

In Gameweeks 25-28, Ralph Hasenhuttl’s troops face four of the six teams that have allowed the most shots on target in 2018/19. Arsenal are one of those sides, who the Saints put three goals past in December.

Cardiff City beat the south coast side 1-0 in Hasenhuttl’s first match in charge and the two teams will meet again at St. Mary’s in Gameweek 26.

The visit of Everton in Gameweek 23 is another attractive proposition from an attacking perspective: the Toffees have recorded no clean sheets in the last eight Gameweeks and have allowed the second-highest number of big chances (23) over that period.

Leicester and Palace’s defences will surely prove less obliging, with those two clubs ranking in the top three for fewest shots on target conceded over the last eight Gameweeks. The Foxes and Roy Hodgson’s side have registered a combined seven clean sheets during that period.

For those interested in Jan Bednarek (£3.9m) and co, the Saints face four teams between now and the end of February who have scored at a rate of a goal per game or less over the last eight Gameweeks: Leicester, Burnley, Cardiff and Fulham.

Five of the Saints’ next seven opponents also rank in the bottom half of the table for shots on target from Gameweek 14 onwards.

Also Consider

Cardiff City (HUD, new, ars, BOU, sou, WAT) aren’t a particularly popular team from a Fantasy perspective, with not one of their outfield players being owned by more than 4% of FPL managers.

There is no denying that the Bluebirds’ fixtures are among the best in the division over the next six Gameweeks, however, with only a trip to Arsenal – who themselves are unconvincing at the back – to be concerned about in the medium term.

Indeed, the Bluebirds’ appealing matches continue well into March and it is not until Chelsea visit South Wales in Gameweek 32 that Neil Warnock’s side have to really worry about a daunting fixture again.

Cardiff have largely held their own against mid-table/relegation fodder this season and only three clubs outside the “big six” have kept more clean sheets than the Bluebirds (five) in 2018/19.

Neil Warnock’s troops have, in fact, only conceded 16 goals in 14 matches against sides currently ranked seventh or below.

Their next two opponents, Huddersfield and Newcastle, have scored the joint-fewest number of goals in the Premier League this season.

Due to the reversal of their fixture against Spurs back in September, Watford (cry, BUR, tot, bha, EVE, car) only enjoy two home matches in the next seven Gameweeks.

The Hornets rank second for “defence” over the next half-dozen matches, though, taking on four of the sides that lie in the bottom six for shots on target in 2018/19.

Those same four teams – Cardiff, Palace, Brighton and Burnley – sit in the bottom half of the table for goals scored this campaign.

The defences Watford face might be tougher nuts to crack, however, with five of their next six opponents (the exception being Everton) among the ten meanest backlines for big chances conceded in the last eight Gameweeks.

The Weak

Leicester City

Next six: SOU, wol, liv, MUN, tot, CRY

Possible turning point: CRY (Gameweek 27)

A Gameweek 22 encounter with Southampton is the calm before the storm for Claude Puel’s side, with trips to Wolves, Liverpool and Spurs sandwiching the visit of Manchester United before the Foxes’ fixtures turn for the better in Gameweek 27.

Leicester are a difficult team to fathom of late and recent evidence suggests those tricky-looking upcoming fixtures aren’t a formality, with the Foxes having defeated Chelsea, Manchester City and Everton over the last four Gameweeks.

This is the same team, of course, that lost at home to Cardiff and were then dumped out of the FA Cup by League Two club Newport County on Sunday.

Leicester’s defensive solidity – only Chelsea have conceded fewer shots on target in the last eight Gameweeks – will be tested by their matches in Gameweeks 24-26, with Liverpool, Manchester United and Spurs having each scored the joint-highest number of goals (23) since the start of last month.

Gameweek 27 looks a great time to invest in Leicester assets, however, with the Foxes avoiding any of the “big six” in their subsequent nine fixtures.

Bournemouth

Next six: eve, WHU, CHE, car, liv, WOL

And then: ars, MCI

Possible turning point: hud (Gameweek 30)

While Bournemouth have taken some pummelings in December, many Fantasy managers retain a soft spot for the Cherries and their assets.

Ryan Fraser (£6.1m) and Callum Wilson (£6.7m) remain the best-value FPL players in their respective positions and many Fantasy bosses have stuck with their Bournemouth players through the winter months in spite of a tail-off in form and fixtures for Eddie Howe’s side.

Goals for both players in the 3-3 draw with Watford would have rekindled interest but there is little let-up in Bournemouth’s tough schedule, as the Cherries sit bottom of our Season Ticker for the next eight Gameweeks.

There won’t be much interest in Bournemouth’s defensive assets (the Cherries have conceded 22 goals since the start of December, six more than any other club) but visits to Everton and Cardiff at least offer the hope of an attacking return for Fraser and Wilson, with those two sides also sitting in the bottom three for goals conceded over the last eight Gameweeks.

West Ham, meanwhile, have recorded only three clean sheets all season and rank 17th for shots on target and big chances conceded in 2018/19.

Also Consider

Top of our Season Ticker for the second quarter of the season but bottom for the next four Gameweeks, Newcastle United (che, CAR, MCI, tot, wol, HUD) are the first in a trio of unfashionable clubs (from an FPL point of view, we hasten to add) whose limited appeal is further diminished by their upcoming schedule.

No side has scored fewer goals than the Magpies since the beginning of December and matches against Chelsea, Manchester City and Spurs in Gameweeks 22, 24 and 25 make for grim reading.

Only two sides have allowed fewer big chances than Wolves in the last eight Gameweeks, meanwhile, which doesn’t bode well for the Magpies’ prospects at Molineux either.

Home games against Cardiff and Huddersfield could make or break Newcastle’s season and the prospects of clean sheets all round in those two fixtures look strong: the Bluebirds and David Wagner’s side sit in the bottom three with the Tyneside outfit for shots on target from Gameweek 14 onwards.

The fact that back-up goalkeeper Ben Hamer (£4.0m) and the now-departed Collin Quaner (£4.3m) are Huddersfield Town‘s (car, MCI, EVE, che, ARS, new) two most popular FPL assets says all there is to know about the Terriers’ stock in the FPL community, so we won’t waste time discussing why they are ones to avoid. Suffice to say, Wagner’s troops have lost their last nine fixtures in all competitions.

As with Newcastle, the Terriers face two must-win games either side of a tetralogy of daunting fixtures and it is the away matches against Neil Warnock and Rafael Benitez’s sides that represent their best chance of any sort of Fantasy returns over the coming half-dozen Gameweeks.

It is perhaps unfair to lump Brighton and Hove Albion (LIV, mun, ful, WAT, BUR, che) in with the two aforementioned relegation-threatened clubs but like Newcastle, the Seagulls’ kind autumn schedule has given way to an altogether more testing succession of fixtures.

In their coming half-dozen league matches, Chris Hughton’s side face five of the seven clubs who have created the most big chances since the start of December (Fulham being the exception).

While FPL managers are unlikely to be punting on a member of Brighton’s backline during this period, the Seagulls could make life tricky for the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea between now and the end of February: from Gameweek 14 onwards, only Maurizio Sarri’s side have conceded fewer big chances than the Sussex club.

    Is Haz & Jimi -> Salah & Barnes madness for a -4

    I only got Haz in last week so feels like a knee jerk but I’m not sure I can handle his unpredictability.
    Getting Barnes would mean he plays at home against Fulham rather than Holebas away at Palace

    1. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Same here, want rid of haz for sterling but..but..mmmm

      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah... don't get rid of Jiminez. He's insane value and has great fixtures coming up.

      Also don't like getting rid of Haz - give him this week at least or find another way to get Salah.

      Salah next 5 weeks is essential imo. Which City assets is the question but 1 is needed next few fixtures. Your entire midfield blanked last week. Might want to hold and reassess after this week

    2. Rhodes your boat

    3. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      who's Redmon - sounds like a 1980s ragga star 🙂

      would prefer Salah to Hazard, downgrade Kola to Benny?

  6. Epic Fail
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    They're still going on about VAR, saying you can't score with your shoulder. I always thought you could?

    Balotelli did it and wasn't ruled out.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Os35_XJHfg4

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      You can yeah. Same with being offside because of your shoulder, any part of the body you can score with etc etc

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Aye that's what I thought. So the pundits are chatting shite?

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Discrimination against people with no shoulders otherwise.

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

      If ball bounces off shoulder it's a goal as long as not redirected. Balotelli one grey area

    4. Mysterion
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Kane did it too and he didn't even have to touch it

    5. rojojojo
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      The laws of the game state that handball is the ball making contact with any part of the hand or arm... after a quick google I have learnt that anatomically a shoulder is part of the arm, so therefore you can't score with your shoulder.
      technicalities hey

  7. johnthepg
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Digne > TAA or Periera?

    I just don't see EVE keeping a clean sheet against BOU whilst TAA has strong fixtures long term and Periera is playing SOU this week & wolves next GW. GW24-26 is tough but I plan on playing WanB during those fixtures before LEI fixtures improve dramatically from GW27 onwards.

    Thoughts?

    1. King Sheep
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      TAA if you must

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Sideways.... I have Digne and TAA and will bring in Periera for Digne in GW27. Digne can def get attacking return against Bournemouth.

  8. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Ederson to Lloris next week a good move?

  9. La vida FPL

    Will Salah rise tonight?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Anything near 100% means a rise is likely.

    Does every good fpl manager bring Salah in this week? Kind of makes it an exciting prospect to go without and hope for the best.

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years

      I’m getting next week

      If they were that good they wouldn't have got rid of him in the first place.

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years

        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Exactly. Besides that. Liverpool have lost two in a row, and their next 3 fixtures aren't really that Great. brighton away, then in form Palace and Leicester at home.

    Save ft and do haz/ Alonso to salah/ taa for free or do this week for -4?

    Fixtures say no to me but potential salah rise could further affect tv

        5 years, 2 months ago

        Is guita nailed til end of the season?! And already have wan b

        Haha sticking with Haz captain for now but may do last minute change to safe Salah (boring)

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Salah 61pts last 6 more than Hazard 60pts last 10. Chelsea don't score freely like Pool. Besides conceding 4 away to Liverpool the last 4 other away Newcastle no more than 1. When Salah scored 21pts was he safe or boring that week?

          1. abaalan
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            As they say in the financial world - past performance isnt a reflection on future returns. Brighton wont get hammered at home.

      2. F_Ivanovic
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Guaita not 100% nailed - too much of a risk when your backup is a non-playing GK in a few weeks time.

    Zinchenko looks like the love child of KDB and Gordon Ramsey.

      - What are you?

      Which one of them has the womb?

  15. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Really in doubt here guys. Help is appreciated.

    Fabs
    TAA Digne Lovren*
    Hazard Son Pogba* Martial Rich
    Kane Laca

    Subs: Hamer Jim Doherty Peltier

    0.8 2 FT

    A) Fabs -> Lloris (save other FT and get in Salah next week)
    B) Laca + Son -> Kamara + Salah (upgrade Fabs to Lloris next week)
    C) Laca + Lovren -> Aguero + Bednarek (take a hit to get in salah if neccesary next week)
    D) Something else

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Guaita at Palace 4.2 is too good to be true. 3 CS in 5

      Laca in for 16-18 one of worse trades I made although 1,4,5 is not completely horrendous I suppose

  16. AzzaroMax99

    5 years, 2 months ago

    My rival is leading in ML and he will probably captain Salah while I'm Salah-less.
    I am in dilemma who to cap:

    a) Haz
    b) Auba

    He doesn't have either of them two.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Haz

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Blankzard

    2. FPL_DON
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      in the same position, going auba

      1. King Sheep
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Both good.

  17. Gnu

    So, Did Citeh manage to fluke a result then tonight?

    1. Subzero (-4)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Watched most of it and they were very good. Hard to judge how good they were though with the level of opposition but they were electric

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Hopefully see goals or highlights tomorrow.

        1. Subzero (-4)
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Well worth a watch like. It will probably give you a city headache if you don't have any of their players. They look like they could be worth getting back in but with kdb in the mix now it's difficult to pick the best one

  18. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Who would you rather sacrifice for Aubameyang?

    A) Hazard

    B) Pogba

    C) Neither. Auba not worth it

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      C. You cant have em all

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Well B if it doesnt ruin your team

        1. FPL Maldini
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I have Rashford

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn't bother with this trade this week but if Hazard blanks 3 in a row he has to go. Part of the problem is Chelsea aren't scoring enough goals

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

      Pogba. Hazard back as a false nine with Willian and Pedro healthy.

  19. lindeg
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    cap one

    a - aguero
    b - hazard

    1. Moeda
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Haz

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Chelsea last 10 games 4 x 2 goals 3 x 1 goal 3 x 0 goals. 11 goals last 10 games eeeew

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

      Hazard.

  20. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Is this worth a-4 for long term?

    Pogba, Ederson, Jimenez —> Auba, Puncheon, Foster

    1. Moeda
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Do it.

    2. dannyboy25
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      not for me

    3. MASTER ROSHI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I don't think I would

    4. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Auba has Chelsea and MCI soon. Not happy to take a hit when Pogba can punish even without.

  21. Moeda
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Mane Vs Sane.
    Which to bring in on WC (have Salah though no City).

    Currently on Sane.

    1. dannyboy25
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      sane

    2. MASTER ROSHI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Sane

  22. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Is Pogba still necessary to keep?

    Thinking I need a Liverpool attacker and I already own Rashford

    1. Moeda
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Liverpool attack is more essential with the run they have,

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Salah all I need right now and if was getting another Pool would be TAA

  23. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Anderson worth keeping with Arnie back?

    (I have exact money to do Anderson > Sterling.)

    1. dannyboy25
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      same thoughts - doing fanderson to sane

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Anderson to BSilva and keep cash to spend elsewhere

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

      Anderson scored better than Arnie last spell Arnie played before getting injured again.

  24. nkhoughton
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Best son replacement?

    A) Mane
    B) pogba if no injury
    C) Siggy

    Would get eriksen but own kane

    1. Moeda
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Post your full team. Have Salah already?

      1. nkhoughton
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        No I don't

        Leno
        Alonso AWB Digne
        Hazard Sterling Fraser Anderson Son
        Kane Jimenez

        Hamer Wilson Bennett fodder

        1. Moeda
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Mane - Liverpool attack needed

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Play Son this week he's on fire

    3. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn't sell Son this week for any of them unless you have 2 FT and literally nothing else you can do since he could easily outscore all of them. Only sell Son if you are captaining his replacement (ie. Son > Salah/Sterling/Sane)

  25. Numb

    So, City DGW25 looking more likely after tonight

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Depends which City you are talking about?

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Manchester City of course. And Everton

    2. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      No, they were always going to beat Burton so it changes nothing.

      A GW25 DGW is possible but unlikely. The FA would have to move extremely fast and when were they known to do that?

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Still more likely after tonight. Simple probability

        And GW25 is apparently one of three most likely possibilities unless either club has an FA Cup replay.

        1. Ruth_NZ
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          The Liberals are apparently one of the three most likely parties to form the next government. Doesn't mean it's a probable outcome, does it?

          1. Numb
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            You seem to be getting confused between “more likely” and “likely”.

            1. Baps hunter
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              How much has the probability risen? 0,4%?!?

          2. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            No deal is better than bad deal. So no deal is more likely than bad deal. And out means out.

      2. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        They moved very quickly last season to set the fixtures (that clashed with the cup final) into the midweek after the original weekend fixture dates.

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

      Looks that way

    4. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      yeah, can't really see any other GW it would be

    5. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      City DGW is the same as a normal GW. Not many players will start both games.

  26. Jimmy Boy
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Already got Sterling, no Salah. Bring in Sane or Mane?

    1. MASTER ROSHI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Sane and Salah would be ideal if you can afford that, otherwise I think for now I'd still go Sane over Mane

  27. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Evening chaps. Stick with my plan to roll the FT or get in a City mid now?
    Would love Auba but that would mean more extensive changes

    1FT 0.1itb
    Fab
    VVD, Luiz, AWB
    Salah (C), Haz (v), Pogba, Martial, Snoddy
    Kane, Wilson
    (Hamer) (Doherty, Kamara, Schindler)

    Advice appreciated!

    1. MASTER ROSHI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Pogba and Snoddy to Sane and camarasa? Although I would also be happy to roll if that was my team to be fair.

    2. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Kane ~> Auba with 1 transfer.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Sorry should’ve said I don’t want to lose Kane atm

  28. Celt Abroad
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    I’ve just realised that of the 10 weeks I have owned hazard, he has blanked 7 of them. The ultimate troll.

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Classic Trollzard

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      It is the way he rolls and believe me he does a lot of rolling.

  29. Jimmy Boy
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Is Pogba likely to play against Spurs?

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      99%

    2. Numb
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

  30. HD7
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    To all Liverpool fans or people with updates... I heard Liverpool had around 7 players that are ill or sth like this?
    Any news about this?
    Do you feel this loss for the cup make them wobbly?
    Thanks

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      They are all fine and fully fit.

      Klopp was just fabricating a few lame excuses for resting the players

    2. Mysterion
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      They were ill with facuppitis

      Liverpool don't have a second A-team to put out like City do so it was a choice between burnout or "disrespecting" the competition
