Alonso benched and Higuain makes league debut as Son returns

Gameweek 24 comes to a conclusion on Wednesday evening as four top-flight matches take place.

Bournemouth v Chelsea and Southampton v Crystal Palace get us underway at 19:45 GMT, with Liverpool v Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur v Watford scheduled to kick off at 20:00 GMT.

Marcos Alonso is benched for the first time in the league this season as Emerson Palmieri – who impressed in the Carabao Cup semi-final, second leg against Spurs – is handed a start at left-back, while Gonzalo Higuaín makes his Premier League bow up front for the Blues.

Eden Hazard is thus deployed on the left flank for Maurizio Sarri’s side, with Pedro getting the nod on the other wing.

The Cherries are without Callum Wilson this evening, with Joshua King leading the line for Eddie Howe’s side.

Ryan Fraser starts as expected, while there are places on the bench for January signings Dominic Solanke and Chris Mepham.

Son Heung-min is back in Spurs’ starting XI and looks set to play just off Fernando Llorente as Mauricio Pochettino once again deploys a wing-back system.

Christian Eriksen is also primed for a more advanced role but Kieran Trippier only makes the bench.

Javi Gracia has made three changes to his side from Watford’s last league outing, with Daryl Janmaat, Craig Cathcart and Will Hughes drafted in.

Virgil van Dijk has recovered from illness to line up at centre-half, with one of Jordan Henderson or Georginio Wijnaldum potentially filling in at right-back after a cursory look at the teamsheet.

Xherdan Shaqiri joins Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino in the Liverpool attack.

Claude Puel has made three alterations to his Leicester City side following the 4-3 defeat to Wolves: Jonny Evans, James Maddison and Marc Albrighton being handed recalls.

The fit-again Vicente Guaita returns between the sticks for Crystal Palace, with Wayne Hennessey named among the substitutes.

The Eagles are otherwise unchanged from the team that lost 4-3 to Liverpool in Gameweek 23.

Ralph Hasenhuttl has named the same eleven players in his starting XI that lined up against Everton, meanwhile.

Bournemouth XI (4-2-3-1): Boruc, Clyne, S Cook, Ake, Smith, Surman, Gosling, Stanislas, Fraser, Brooks, King.

Chelsea XI (4-3-3): Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Emerson Palmieri, Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic, Pedro, Higuain, Hazard.

Southampton XI (3-5-2): McCarthy, Bednarek, Stephens, Vestergaard, Valery, Hojbjerg, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Targett, Redmond, Ings.

Crystal Palace XI (4-3-3): Guaita, Wan-Bissaka, Tomkins, Sakho, van Aanholt, Kouyaté, Milivojević, McArthur, Townsend, Ayew, Zaha.

Liverpool XI (4-2-3-1): Alisson, Henderson, van Dijk, Matip, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Keita, Shaqiri, Salah, Mane, Firmino.

Leicester City XI (4-2-3-1): Schmeichel, Ricardo, Evans, Maguire, Chilwell, Mendy, Ndidi, Albrighton, Gray, Maddison, Vardy.

Tottenham Hotspur XI (3-4-2-1): Lloris, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Aurier, Winks, Sissoko, Rose, Eriksen, Son, Llorente.

Watford XI (4-4-2): Foster, Janmaat, Mariappa, Cathcart, Holebas, Hughes, Capoue, Cleverley, Pereyra, Deulofeu, Deeney.

      Hazard trolled me in price change 😀
      It's a sign of upcoming gw i think.

      1. Srv210
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Even if he hauls against Huddersfield....next 3 weeks are tough for Chelsea...I'll think of hazard now when I play the WC

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Yes.
          Same here. Playin FH in gw32 anyway so will have him for his DGW

        Trolled me too with the price change, but even with the Hudders game to come next I'm still happy with Son vs Newcastle instead.

        FFS is very trustworthy for price changes. I would trust TM with my life.

    Sod it, just transferred Sterling in making it a city triple up.

    I reckon they’ll be a backlash

    1. Srv210
      • 6 Years

      Just make a plan for gw27..city can come good

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

      Yep, got it in order. Got a free transfer i’m carrying over.

      Hoping it might be enough to get into top 5

      1. Srv210

    5. Billybigspuds

      Planning to make hits this week too?

      1. MINUS FOUR
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I've done Auba to Aguero already. Considering Pogba (if inured) to KDB (-4), but I've got Deulofeu to come in for Pogba so tempted to hold. It's never been all about constant hits for me, it's just that I'm prepared to take them when I see an opportunity, particularly around captaincy selection. Nothing wrong with holding fire when your team looks good!

  4. FCSB

    most likely to play both games:

    1. Sane
    2. Sterling

        Really struggling for striker options apart from Jiminez.

        1. St Pauli Walnuts
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Jiminez is a great option.

  13. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    I wonder if anyone else thinks this would be useful:

    The Team News page to have a history, so you can flip back through the previous gameweeks.

    For instance, right now, I would like to see if Guardiola said anything about Mendy and the left-back position in his GW24 press conference, but all the work that Skronto put into writing up the team news has disappeared, so as not to be confused with GW25.

    1. Flaming Flamingo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Couldn't you just watch the press conferences video for the gameweek instead?

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

        That would be very time consuming in comparison

        1. Flaming Flamingo
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          You wouldn't have to watch the whole video, just skip to them talking about City.

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

            Yeah there are ways to find this information. I just think it would be useful to have a history of the Team News.

            It also keeps people on site instead of wandering off an clicking different things find the information, which would be good for FFS. And from our perspective, it allows us to better evaluate the quality of the information we've receieved throughout the season.

            Wouldn't you use the Team News history if it existed? Just 2 clicks to see all the relevant and digestible team news from last GWs pressers? Seems like a decent benefit from a small change from my view

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

                Cheers. I can find the information, but it's not a smooth ride. The artcles allhave different titles, some weeks have more than one article for team news, and you may have to click on one to see which gameweek it belongs to. Looking for tweet's from GW11 (for example) would be a heinous waste of time, though, unless you were desperate for certain info. Plus there seems to be no GW21 team news article that I can see.

                The GW24 article you shared even says to visit Team News tab for comprehensive updates. That's what I would really be interested in: the final state of the GW's updates before it began, and before the Team News resets.

                Thanks for the link. Just sharing an idea. Maybe I'm alone in thinking it has relatively strong value 🙂

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

                  It's all outdated when you think about it. GW11 news is hardly relevant now.
                  GW21 was New Years where after matches were the pressers.
                  Your idea would need a new tab for archived news for the previous GW or something. Up to date team news is what really matters.

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

                    Sigh. Okay, poo poo the information I think would be useful to me, personally. When you think about it, I might have a different view about what information could be useful throughout a season, or I might have different priorities concerning what I want from visiting this site. When you think about it... 😉

                    The implementation is another question. I don't think you'd need a new tab. But that's irrelevant. I'm getting the message that it would be a hassle to improve the site, or listen to ideas, loud and clear. You're such an infomation blockage, Terry Cloverly! 😆

                      5 years, 2 months ago

                      If it was really important, you would store it away like your 1000 bookmarks.
                      The information isn't blocked for those here daily so you'll be fine.

                        • 8 Years

                        Hahaha you rude mod. I don't know what you're problem is. I'm not criticising you or the site. I'm just offering an idea. Christ, man.

    Anyone triple captaining Aguero?

    I'd prefer to TC Sterling but have no realistic way of getting him in.

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

      Jesus might play instead 1 game. I can't TC Aguero Sane or Sterling after last game

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

      Sterling stats last game were horrific

      I'm pretty sure I did last season in the GW25 mini-DGW. Didn't really pay off and that was with better fixtures and greater surety of starts. Only thing giving me pause is uncertainty about whether there will be better options in later DGWs, and we don't know that yet. But I think I won't end up doing it.

      would need better form and fixtures to persuade me to do that!

  15. doppelganger
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Do you think i should go for free hit on DGW.
    Digne to Danilo
    Auba to Aguero
    and maybe Pogba for Siggy

    Etheridge
    Robbo Digne Doherty
    Salah Sane Pogba Richarlison
    Auba Jimenez Rashford

    Button/AWB/Westwood/Schindler

      no

    2. Top Lad Dakes.

      Maybe another one with more teams but not this DGW imo

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      No way. Danilo was so bad against Newcastle apparently

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

      Also Everton just won 1-0 against Huddersfield. They still suck

      1. doppelganger

        Ty everyone. Will save for blank prob.

      No way. Keep your gunpowder dry.

    Hey all. 1FT, 1.2 ITB and a couple of options if ya don’t mind taking a look (I’m hoping Pogba is fine)

    Fabianski Hamer
    Robertson Doherty Alonso* Bednarek AWB
    Salah Hazard* Pogba* Sane Camarasa*
    Auba Jimenez Quaner

    1) Alonso downgrade (to who though? Ideal is TAA I think...) - most favored
    2) Haz to Sterling - kinda want to give Hazard HUD and then swap to Son..
    3) Auba to Aguero(c)
    4) Something else?

    Much appreciated!!

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      1 and 2

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Agree on 1 - who do you think looks best if TAA unavailable? Also, you that convinced by sterling? Haz is by no means convincing, but I’m not sure..

        Forgot to mention, funds freed will likely be used for Quaner to rashford

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

      What if Fab actually injured? Would look at sorting out Hamer and Boruc suddenly attractive option

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Fair point on that. Will monitor injury worries (Pogba fabianski) closely.

    3. panda07

      I'm considering Alonso to Laporte but not sure on City's defence

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah laporte/city defence doesn’t convince me at all

  17. panda07
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    How many DGW players are you going to have next GW? I'm only going with 2 myself.

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

      3 City thanks to Digne

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Minimum sane, maximum considering sterling too

    3. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Would’ve been digne too. Prat

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

        On the bright side on current form a Digne dgw could have been a big minus score 😉

    4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling only

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

      Only Ederson and Rich - could hurt but don't really fancy taking a hit for anyone.

    6. Viper
      • 14 Years

      Sané Richarlison & Aguero (probably)

    Alisson

    Robertson Doherty WB (Bednarek Digne)

    Salah Sané Pogba Richarlison (Camarasa)

    Aubameyang Rashford Jimenez

    Aubameyang - > Aguero and save FT?

    2.0m in the bank

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Do you plan to get Auba back?

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

        Yep, I'll reverse the transfer the following week

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

          With 2FT it's probably a valid punt.

        2. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          You have much value gained on Auba? I have so unwilling to do it as would also get him back

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

            Nope. I can sell for his current value, 11.3m

            1. Top Lad Dakes.
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              Go for it imo

    2. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      If Pogba is out for a few weeks, I'd do him to Son, otherwise the Aguero transfer looks good

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

    2FTs, 4.3itb

    1) Anderson, Pereyra > Sane, Rich
    2) Anderson, Pereyra > Dilva, Rich (allows Rich > Son next gw)
    3) Anderson, Pereyra > Son, Dilva (skip Everton)
    3) Activate WC: Anderson, Pereyra, Hazard, Kamara > Son, Dilva, Punch, Kun

    Auba to outscore Aguero in 25?

    1. SpaceCadet
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Very possible. Jesus could start in one those dgw games

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Doubt it

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Don't think so.
      I'd be happy if he gets half of aguero points.

    4. Viper
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Absolutely nothing to suggest so, poor record vs. top 6.

      Aguero will play at least 120 minutes vs. two weak defences

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

        Sounds like a no brainer to switch then.

    5. 420king

      Unlikely. Maybe in 26.

          Any suggestions who to get? Laporte maybe? Have only one dgw player so far

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

            Well I think you should save the transfer. Others are going the Aguero hokey cokey if that floats your boat.

            1. 420king
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              Think Alonso will start vs Hudd?

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

                I don't know, but I feel like he's an obvious candidate to be rotated in. 65% likely to start in my mind, especially after a drubbing.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Sell Digne

              I got Duffy in for Alonso. I wouldn't trust my advice

    3. Kiwivillan

      Fix that defence.
      Alonso is 40/60.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers. Defence is in tatters specially if Alonso doesn’t start. He could though after the battering they got. Digne out for sure.

    What to do here?

    Fab - Hamer

      One of Alonso or Digne have to go

  23. IRBOX ⚽

    Alonso to Laporte for free? 0.1 ITB. Currently have Sane and Richarlison for the DGW

      I can see Alonso starting and getting at least a CS. My crystal ball is throbbing. I would save, personally

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      City defense isn't that appealing anymore. Would look to go cheap & get Son for Richa after gw25.

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

        Why not Rich to Son now? He's had his free points against Huddersfield

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Terrible idea.

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

            You don't think Son far more likely to outscore Rich in the one game against Newcastle?

            1. IRBOX ⚽
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              How did City assets do against a resilient well drilled Rafa defence?

                • 9 Years
                5 years, 2 months ago

                It's more that Rich and Everton are unconvincing

      2. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks, that’s the plan but Digne out will allow those funds

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years

          Ohh.
          Fine then. Cheers mate 🙂

  24. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    So who’s doing Auba to Kun and who’s not. And why?

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

      The why is the 2 FTs used.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I was thinking about it. Then dropped the idea & did Hazard to Sane instead.

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

      I have Kun. Should I do Kun>Auba?

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        😀

      2. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        No lol. Not this week anyway. Next week I woukd

    4. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Not worth it. Auba could easily score against City.

      Kun will at most play 120mins imo and essentially a transfer is worth 4 points, that’s 8 doing the hokey-cokey and I doubt he outscores Auba by that amount. Plus you’ll have other issues in your squad for blank GW27.

      Only reason to do it would be for TC, but extremely risky.

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Good points. Cheers irbrox

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

      I have Auba, but don't expect 180 mins from Kun so haven't bothered. City don't have super attractive fixtures or form for the double either.

    6. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Using 2 FTs for not many extra minutes, probably. Means I can't use those transfers for other things like emergencies, better transfers or prepping for GW31+. Could also cause a hit down the line.

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Good points as well

    7. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I reckon I will.

    8. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I did...it seems like the logical move for my team this week...120 mins of Kun is worth 90 mins of Auba imo. Plus, it was for free and they cost the same. Captain pick for Aguero as well.

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

    does anybody else ever do rash transfers for a hit right after the gameweek ends and then almost immediately regret it?!

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

      Not really. Learnt my lesson from seasons past

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Many times 😀
      Nit this season though.
      Seasons before this i used to do 100+ transfer's per season. Only going after weekly glory.
      Remember second dgw last year. I took a -16 😮
      Ended up in tears with Failed BB

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

        I should probably take note of this, on my 45th transfer already this season!

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I have reduced it significantly this season.
          38 for me 😛

  26. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    RMT tool seems to advocate Hazard -> Sterling (C), even for a hit.

    Hmmmmmm

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Any DGW transfers are going to be a yes on there.

    5. Kiwivillan

      • 9 Years
