The FPL Gameweek 27 team news: what we know so far

While we’ll be bringing you the usual team news video and article write-up on Friday, the earlier-than-usual Gameweek 27 deadline has prompted this initial summary of the press conferences and medical bulletins that have happened already.

Things We’ve Learned

The headline news came from Mauricio Pochettino’s presser, with talk of Harry Kane‘s (ankle) return dominating proceedings.

The Spurs boss said of his star striker:

He’s very good. I think we need to assess him one training session tomorrow and then decide but I think he’s doing well. I am happy with him and maybe he’s going to be available to be part of the squad.

He’s not ahead of schedule but everyone knows that Harry is an animal, he wants to be ready as soon as possible. He made everything to try to recover and, of course, the injury that he suffered is tough to recover but it’s more the possibility that when you push, you push. In some injuries, you cannot push too much, because always you need to be careful. When it’s a massive injury it’s completely different.

But of course, we’re so happy that in the last ten days he was fantastic, back in training again, and he can be available again. It’s going to be a massive impact for everyone.

I don’t care if he feels ready or wants to play or not, like another player. I’ll decide myself, with my coaching staff, with the doctor and the medical staff and the sports science staff. Always with every player that came from an injury or illness, always it’s about the structure, when it’s possible to play or not. Of course, if you ask him ten days ago, he was ready to play. But in the end, the last word is always myself. I take the risk, the decision and everything that is going on in the team. 

Ben Davies (groin) has also returned to training this week, though Danny Rose (illness) is a minor doubt for the trip to Burnley.

One Spurs player who won’t feature this weekend is Dele Alli (hamstring), with Pochettino providing this update on the injured midfielder:

His progression is good, we are happy. This is the last part of the period of his recovery. Difficult to say: maybe one week, maybe ten days, maybe two weeks. We are going to assess him day by day.

Burnley will again be without Steven Defour (calf), Aaron Lennon (knee) and Jonathan Walters (Achilles), though Sean Dyche confirmed on Thursday that Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Robbie Brady are fit to feature.

Leicester’s fixtures are about to take a turn for the better but those Fantasy managers who were interested in James Maddison and Ben Chilwell might have been slightly deterred by Claude Puel’s comments on Thursday.

The Foxes’ boss said:

We have an issue with Chilwell and Maddison and we will make a point in tomorrow’s training session. It’s not serious but we will see tomorrow.

Manuel Pellegrini delivered his press conference on Wednesday and brought news that Manuel Lanzini (knee) and Samir Nasri (calf) have returned to training.

The West Ham United boss said the pair “maybe” have a chance of featuring against Fulham, though there was no update forthcoming on Fabian Balbuena (knee).

Pellegrini said:

For this game, we have the squad which played most of the games and we will have the squad list on Thursday, and maybe Lanzini and Nasri can be included on that squad list.

They worked not only today but they worked the complete week. We will talk to the medical staff about whether we can use them.

All four playmakers in our squad were injured, which is always difficult, so the return of both of them injects more quality into the squad.

We will analyse Jack Wilshere next week, then we will be more clear about his future.

Claudio Ranieri meanwhile declared that, Alfie Mawson (knee) aside, Fulham have no injury worries – meaning that new signings Lazar Markovic and Havard Nordtveit could be match-fit enough to feature.

Kiko Femenia (hamstring) is Javi Gracia’s only injury-related absentee going into Friday’s game at Cardiff, though Jose Holebas begins a two-match ban for accruing ten yellow cards.

Gracia said:

Roberto [Pereyra] and Isaac [Success] are both ready to compete. Roberto is a very important player, making the difference in a lot of games, scoring goals and assisting. Isaac hasn’t played the same minutes as other players, but the time he played, he played with quality and is helping the team. He’s a good option for us in attack with his power and pace. He is something different for us to help us manage different games.

Prödl is another option for us at centre-back where the players are playing well. It’s always good to have a player of his quality.

Kiko is feeling very well in all the training sessions. For the next game, it’s impossible [for him to play] but I think for the game after, he will be ready.

Sean Morrison (appendix) is back in training for the Bluebirds, but Neil Warnock cast doubt on whether the club captain would feature against the Hornets and provided an update on Victor Camarasa.

On Morrison, Warnock said:

He’s training, he had another tough session yesterday. He’s just got to have a bit of football in his locker. We’ve got three games in a week so it’s pointless rushing him. I’m hoping he’s going to be involved at some stage this week.

On Camarasa:

He has a medical team from Spain that look after him. Sometimes we don’t agree. It’s difficult for Victor because he’s got so many people talking to him. It’s [an ongoing] calf injury. He’s doing most things really well.

Huddersfield have been given a boost by the return of Jonas Lossl and Chris Lowe from illness, while Elias Kachunga has had a less-serious dose of the flu ahead of the trip to Newcastle.

Danny Williams (knee) won’t be ready to play despite a return to training, though Abdelhamid Sabiri (knee) featured for the under-23s last week and may come back into contention. 

Managers Yet to Deliver a Press Conference

Unai Emery (Arsenal)
Eddie Howe (Bournemouth)
Roy Hodgson (Crystal Palace)
Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool)
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (Manchester United)
Rafael Benitez (Newcastle United)
Ralph Hasenhuttl (Southampton)
Nuno Espirito Santo (Wolverhampton Wanderers)

Injury News That May Be Updated on Friday

  • Laurent Koscielny came off with a muscular injury in Arsenal’s win over BATE on Thursday night, with Unai Emery describing the defender’s substitution as “precautionary”. Ainsley Maitland-Niles missed out through illness.
  • Callum Wilson (knee) and David Brooks (ankle) are thought to be medium-term absentees for Bournemouth and are not currently scheduled to return till March.
  • Jurgen Klopp earlier in the week declared Dejan Lovren (muscle) a major doubt for the trip to Manchester United.
  • Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ruled Anthony Martial (groin) and Jesse Lingard (hamstring) out for “two to three weeks” last Friday but reports in the media suggest the pair could possibly recover for the visit of Liverpool – this has yet to be confirmed by Manchester United, however.
  • Jonjo Shelvey (thigh) has returned to training for Newcastle United.
  • Danny Ings (hamstring) hasn’t been sighted in training this week, though Stuart Armstrong (calf) has been involved.
  • Matt Doherty came off with a knock in the FA Cup win over Bristol City last weekend, though Nuno Espirito Santo appeared to downplay the severity of the injury. Diogo Jota missed out on that victory with a dead leg.

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years

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

      Sounds like he was pictured in training this week

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        i think he will miss atleast a game in the next 3 being in weeks time

  4. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Best move here?

    A) No hits
    B) Ings -> Arnie (-4)

    D) Camarasa -> Maddison (-4)

    Fabs
    Kola, Doherty, TAA, Periera
    Salah, Son, FAnderson, Camarasa
    Auba, Rashford

    Steele, Ings, Holebas, Siggy
    Bank 2.5m, 0FT

    1. Merlinsnose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Why not to play Camarasa?

      A imo

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

        Sounds like he’s a injury doubt and I have no bench. If A then the plan would be Siggy/Son -> Mane next week

  5. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    a) Bennett + 4
    b) Lascelles/Periera

    1. Lav

      A

      Wolves have hud CAR after bou.
      No one else you can move on?

    Goal keeper choice??

    i need a GK for blank GWs ; i have lloris and speroni atm...looking to bring in either allison/ederson - got no defenders from either city of liverpool

    A) Allisson - costs 0.4 more than ederson , or just bring in TAA who can cover the CS and wid a few assts in the run in too
    B) Ederson - would require additional transfer of boruc and can save extra cost on bringing either laporte or mendy

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

      Only one of those GKs plays the blanks.

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        thats what...should I get ederson and get a cover in boruc as he costs less and TAA can be a cover for allisson or should I go directly for Allisson and laporte which costs much more than ederson and TAA

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          in short

          A) Allison laporte boruc OR
          B) Ederson TAA

          1. Fingerspitzengefühl
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            If your original statement of needing a GK for blank GWs stand, then go with Allison as he's the only one actually playing in the blanks

            1. Eleven Hag
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              I meant if I should do Allisson or ederson + boruc?

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Don't City blank in 31?

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Speroni>Boruc. Why is he overlooked 4m 2/2 CS at home. Great 31 33 fixtures. Begovic in the dog house with the manager

  7. Live Lad
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who to captain?
    (1) Son
    (2) Salah
    (3) Anderson
    (4) Jimenez

    Can't captain Liverpool's opponents.

    1. Merlinsnose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      1

  8. Brehmeren
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Contemplating Son C over Auba. but Burnley is undefeated in 7 games in a row now. Decisions, decisions.

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Auba is a easy choice

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

      For once i even thought Jota is a great differential pick this gw.
      But then, Auba © Locked as i think i owes his owners some points.

    3. Brehmeren
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, I will probably captain him. Especially because I'm the only one in the top 5 in mt ML that have him. However, I'm quite nervous of a rest or 65 mins match.

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        son is gonna blank,,spurs have been lucky in last few matches and burnely did hold them for 90 mins last time they met

        1. Brehmeren
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Hmm, I was at the game against Newcastle, and I they could have won that 3-0 with a bit of luck. Do agree that his last 2 goals have been fairly fortunate.

        2. Brehmeren
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          He looks very up for it though, and it will only help him if Kane is back.

        3. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Was contemplating taking C off Son and looked at recent away scores though Burnley much better with Heaton in goal

    4. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      but that means they're due a heavy defeat ?!

    WC gone.. Do i prepare for gw 31 or should i free hit that week? Best chip strategy?

    1. Lav
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Free hit

  11. Neo-Viper
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Guyssssss,

    2 FT.. ITB: 0.1m

    Patricio
    Pereira AWB Robertson Doherty
    Salah Richarlison*** Pogba
    Rashford Auba Jiminez

    Hamer DSilva*** Duffy*** Ward

    What should the freebie transfer be? Dsilva to Son and Auba to a cheaper forward?
    Or you see something even better?
    Still intact with the Wildcard.

    1. Lav
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Silva to Son
      Auba to Laca?

      1. Neo-Viper
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Too sideways?
        Also Richa to Maddison and Dsilva to Fanderson. This can be done too.

        1. Lav
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I like that.

  12. Lav
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Stuck. Any rational ideas?
    1 FT 1.1m ITB

    Etheridge / Patricio
    Robbo / Doherty / TAA / Kola / AWB
    Salah / Eden / Son / Pogba / Rich
    Rash / Jimenez / Crouch

    1. Neo-Viper

      Stay put! Good to go for this week the least.

      1. Lav
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Who would you captain? I could do Rich -> Anderson though. That seems best.

        1. Neo-Viper
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          You can play 433. Will crouch play though? Captain Son

          1. Lav
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Crouch likely off the bench for Burnley

  13. mitro
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero is my only city cover. If I ditch him for Auba, should I get him back considering PEA has B'mouth in gw28?

    1. Lav
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldnt ditch Kun for Auba to be honest

      1. mitro
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        yeah i'm leaning that way atm, transfers too important at this stage of the season

    Apologies if this is a daft question but when i use my FH chip, if I already have that player in my team, do I get them at the price I bought them for initially or their current price that GW?

    FH - 32
    BB - 35
    TC- 36/37

    Is this good enough for GW27?

    Saving one FT to upgrade Kamara to Aguero next week by downgrading Son.

      No I'd say -24 is an absolute minimum

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Hahaha definitely.

        Really wanted some striker this week but think I’ll wait for Kun next week.

        1. zøphar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah I've done Alonso to Pereira already. Have 6 for 31, debating
          A. shifting Kamara to Rondon/Barnes (can't afford Arnie),
          B. Richarlison to Anderson
          C. Hazard to Barnes (Lei) to allow kamara to kun for free

          A and c don't really help with players for 31 tho

          1. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Are you confident about Anderson? I’m really not. Think Bou or Lei mid could be better options for less money.

            Even I have Kamara I think he’s a thorn for those of us planning to get through GW31 & 33 with transfers.

            Hazard a big differential for us now. I’m keeping in the hope that he turns up. He’s probably also playing for a move now.

            1. zøphar
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Well he's got rubbish stats last few and so do west ham as a whole, but at home they've still had the 5th most shots.
              Leicester imo are a troll team, step up to spurs Chelsea etc and fail to Cardiff Southampton etc. Don't want to overexpose myself there with Pereira already and Madison injury doubt and Barnes unproven

  23. TorresMagic™

    Play Schindler(new) or AWB(lei)?
    RMT likes the underdog.

    1. Lav
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      AWB

    2. zøphar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      The fact that you're even considering Schindler makes me question whether I should buy rondon

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

        Would be more confident if at home. Hudd need points but are too poor.

      2. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I was also thinking of getting him but then I saw that Newcastle are in the bottom 2 or 3 for goals scored if im not wrong.

    3. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn’t be surprised if any of those two keep a CS. Tough call really!

    Captain:

    A. Son
    B. Anderson

    Play:

    1. TAA (have Robbo)
    2. AWB

    1. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A2

  25. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Would you rather to have Rondon or Arnie for next 3 fixtures?

    Rondon has better fixtures but Newcastle struggling to create/score.

    Arnie can be explosive and proven asset but injury waiting to happen

    1. zøphar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Arnie if you can bench next week

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        City isn't that good at defending to be fair

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

          Arnie will be flat out playing 2 games.

        2. zøphar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah but see West ham's attacking stats away last four, absolutely toilet

          1. La Roja
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah that's a good point to be fair

        3. Eleven Hag
          • 6 Years

          they are not, but somehow end up with a clean sheet 🙂

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      When Arnie is on form he is probably the best budget striker to own. But right now he isn’t.

  26. Who Ate All Depays?
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Fabianski
    Robertson, AWB, Bennett
    Salah, Pogba, Son, Hayden, Richa*
    Rashford, Auba
    (Hamer, Aguero, Kiko, Digne)

    Would be transferring out Richa and Digne for a hit, which pair do you suggest as replacements?

    A) Fanderson and Yedlin
    B) Madison and Pereira
    C) Fraser and Pereira

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      c

  27. zøphar

    Best 6.0 or under mid who doesn't blank in 31/33? Not convinced almiron gets minutes at this stage

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Harvey Barnes?

      Brooks when he’s back.

  28. Chucky

    Hi all... been away for past 2 weeks... Is Auba fit to play?? He’s going to be my capo.. thanks... 😀

    Fabianski (button)
    AWB / Bednarek / Pereira / Doherty / Robertson
    Salah / Pogba / son
    Jimenéz / trashford
    Bench : hazard richarlison kamara
    2.2 itb, 0ft , currently fielding 11 but willing to take a hit to bench bednarek . 6 players for 31 as it stands. Suggestions please

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years

      Id sell Richarlison for someone.

      1. zøphar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah 8.8 budget but I want to keep some cash mobile for mane , Anderson has the fixtures and I can play bednarek next week , seems like a no brainer

    2. zøphar

      Also I just realised my autocorrect changed rashford to trashford

  30. grayedog
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Could use some help, as I'm super torn on a strategy that doesn't let me use my BB in DGW32 (have all my chips left)

    I already have 6 players for BGW31, so could get to 11 with no chip/hit. That works for BGW33 as well, meaning I can FH in 32, WC in 33, BB in 34, TC some other time. Will I regret (1) using BB in GW35 instead of 32, or (2) not using TC on a DGW?

    I need to choose a direction now, as I'm only fielding 10 player this GW (with Rich, Digne, and DStephens on blank, and Holebas suspended), so I need to use this transfer wisely.

    If I go with the strategy above, it seems like Holebas -> Periera is the way to go.

    Help?

    1. grayedog
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      (team is below, 0.6 ITB)

      Rui / Guaita
      Robbo / Chilwell / AWB / Holebas / Digne
      Salah / Pogba / Son / Rich / DStephens
      Auba / Jimenez / Mitro

    2. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years

      Yes FH32,WC34,BB35 and probably Salah vs hud TC GW36.
