FPL players who could change position in 2019/20

The relaunch of Fantasy Premier League for 2019/20 will see the usual price swings for various players based on last season’s performances but will also feature positional reclassifications for a handful of assets.

In this members’ article, we’ll outline the case for a change of position for a number of Fantasy assets and second-guess which players will remain as they are.

      He needs to cast Seed of Corruption on Chelsea quick (World of Warcraft gag)

    hope someone buys Ozil in the summer, hope that's his last game for us, just doesn't do it for us

      Arsenal shouldn't sell him
      They should abandon him

      1. Supersonic Marv'
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        They could leave him in Baku.

        Need the football equivalent of taking the black!

        Maybe taking the blue, mandatory loan to Cowdenbeath???

        1. SAY MY NAME

          :-D, taking the black lol I like it

    2. Calderano FC

      £300,000 a week, he ain't going anywhere.

      1. SAY MY NAME
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        that's the problem, should never have given him that contract, Ramsey over Ozil anyday

        1. Calderano FC
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Outrageous he is earning that amount of cash for being a fake world class player.

        He'll fit right in with the corrupt oligarchs there stealing a living.

        1. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          In Baku I mean...

    3. el polako
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Leave him at the airport in Baku, cut your losses.

  3. Fpl Richie

    A few shaqiri out rumours starting to surface. West Ham mentioned. The old arnie-shaq partnership again.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Worked well for Stoke......

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Yep got them Championship.

        1. Supersonic Marv'
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          That was what ruined Stoke. Hughes bought a load of flash players who had failed at top clubs because of bad attitude. So he then had a squad full of players with a bad attitude.

      2. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        How much would he be? Newcastle also in the mix. Think he'll stay anyway.

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Liverpool should sell Shaqiri and Sturridge and buy Fraser and Wilson.

          1. SAY MY NAME
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            that's a really good shout actually

            1. Fpl Richie
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              Absolutely. Shaqiri has a quality delivery though, very handy off the bench. Would Fraser and Wilson be okay with limited starts?

        2. Andy'81
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Newcastle in the mix for Shaqiri? Are Liverpool prepared to sell him for less than 10 million like.

          1. Fpl Richie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Post Arab buyout

            1. Andy'81
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              I'll believe that Arab buyout when I see it, the fact that Rafa's still not been granted what he's asked for to stay on is far more telling to me.

    2. Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Would be a bad move for Shaq. Lanzini, Snodgrass, Yarmolenko, Antonio, Nasri, Anderson, way too many Attacking Mids already there.

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Those players show me why West Ham don't do better. So flaky (except perhaps Antonio). They are players who don't care if the club does well - as long as they get their pay cheque. Arnie is another of those.

        West Ham need to buy better characters IMO. They have a few like Fabianski, Cresswell, Balbuena, Rice and Noble. But a lot of their attackers are mercenaries who bring a bad attitude.

        1. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          That's the market they are in. Taking chances on occasional performers. Same with other mid table teams (arsenal for example

          1. diesel001
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            They would do better buying younger players and taking a chance on them IMO. Even promoting from their academy. Look at what Leicester and Everton have achieved with smart recruitment.

            1. Fpl Richie
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              True - agree on the academy angle

      2. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Yep. Probably just agent agendas etc trying to lure a few offers. Nasri leaving this month for what it's worth.

  4. SAY MY NAME
    • 6 Years

    3 quick goals and it's game on lol

  5. SAY MY NAME
    • 6 Years

    and what still can't score, awful!

  6. Sim Simma

    What a miss Willock

  7. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Robbie Savage: "Brilliant from Willock". "Unlucky". What a clown of a commentator the bloke is.

    1. Calderano FC
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      He has nice hair though.

    2. Licky
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      His first touch was a shot so it wasn't like he worked himself a nice angle or something beforehand.

    3. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      don't know how he ever got a prime commentating gig, one of several ex-pros who get jobs based on that fact, plenty of decent young commentators out there that know more about football than Savage, the guy is an idiot imho

    4. McEwan
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I'm always thinking that when he opens his mouth, was criticising ermersons delivery for the first goal. Great little area he picked out

  8. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    5 mins to score 3 goals

    1. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      reckon Chelsea might lol

  9. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years

    Someone said Arsenal did not four see this one.

    Good bye Eden 🙁

    1. Denis Tueart on the wing
      • 14 Years

      one less headache for FPL, but a big loss for PL entertainment

      1. Yome
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        This, he has been so good for Chelsea, really left a mark in the premier league

        1. Licky
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          One of the few players I actually got scared of seeing on the ball against Liverpool, good riddance! 😛

          1. Denis Tueart on the wing
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Testament to his ability, have not seen anything like this exit since Ronny

            1. Licky
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              Yeah, I think he'll tear it up over in Spain as well.

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      I'll miss being trolled into buying and selling at the wrong time every season before a memorable haul. Great player of course.

  11. Supersonic Marv'
    • 7 Years

    That little Arsenal fan had better get used to that.

  12. Licky

    Lol.

  13. Supersonic Marv'
    • 7 Years

    You'd never know someone had just won a European trophy. Very bizarre atmosphere.

    1. Licky

      Mickey Mouse trophy innit. 😛

  14. Licky
    • 11 Years

    Hopefully for the sake of Arsenal fans the club really invest in the squad.

    1. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      unlikely knowing our owners, they just milk the premier league money and exploit the fans

      highest matchday revenues in world football apparently, huge sponsorship/advertising revenues, squad nowhere near capable of competing at the top level

      1. Licky
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        It looks like the league will become a lot more competitive, they'll have to or risk falling behind further. I really do feel for Arsenal fans, hopefully there's some good times ahead.

  15. FPL Pillars
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Hazard 18 pointer banked.

  16. Licky
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Hazard has just one a European trophy and they're asking him about where he's moving...

    1. Supersonic Marv'
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      The British media treat football more like a soap opera than a sport I think.

  17. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Hazard confirming on interview that he wants to leave and is likely to leave.

    1. Oscar Slater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Hazard non essential 19/20.

  18. SAY MY NAME
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    can only hope the board giver Emery some funds this summer (unlikely knowing Kroenke)

    Arsenal clear out:
    Cech (confirmed)
    Ramsey(confirmed)
    Ozil(please....)
    Mustafi
    Lichsteiner
    Monreal
    Wellbeck
    Jenkinson
    possibly a couple more......

    big rebuild needed, squad has been regressing for years, need to make big changes

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I would keep Welbeck and Jenkinson. They will be useful in the Europa League. AMN is not a defender - he should be played in midfield. I think Arsenal need to sign a CB and play:

      Leno
      Bellerin ????? Sokratis Kolasinac
      Guendouzi Xhaka Torreira
      Iwobi Lacazette Aubameyang

      It looks defensive in midfield, but Arsenal need to be more defensive IMO. You can't concede 51 goals and expect to finish in the Top 4.

      1. SAY MY NAME
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        our defence is the biggest problem, new centreback or two, Kola can only play as a wingback, nice goal by Iwobi tonight but he's really a bit rubbish overall (Chelsea nearly scored after he played Azpi onside a couple of mins after Iwobi had scored), and need more in midfield

        Jenkinson is ok for league cup and Europa but not up to league standard, Wellbeck I think might be out of contract and very injury prone, that being said I don't mind him as someone to fill in now and then

        I'd be happy to play more defensively and hit on the counter with Auba, unless we shore up the back we'll never get anywhere - Liverpool have been better this season by playing more defensively , a few less goals than last season but the spaces have been there for Mane and Salah to run into and exploit and much harder to beat hence only league defeat all season

        1. panda07
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Welbeck is gone. They gave him a send off the same time as Ramsey

    2. The Wise Owl
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Rumours are that Arsenal are interested in Thomas Meunier. Can play RB and RM.

      1. SAY MY NAME
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        I don't know too much about him but he's fairly highly rated so I'd be happy with that

  19. Licky
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    At least Arsenal Fan TV will be good tonight.

    1. SAY MY NAME

        1. Supersonic Marv'
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          He whipped one out of its box but I think someone must had told him not to light it. It looked like a bloody missile.

    Hazard say it’s probably his last game for Chelsea non shocker. Good luck to him

    1. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years

      great player, and unlike some superstars(your Neymars, Suarez etc) not dirty, not a cheat just skillful

        Other than his diving and kicking of ball boys 😉

        1. SAY MY NAME

          lol yeah other than that

    Gary Cahill doing a JT

    1. Licky
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Tbf he probably had most of it on sitting on the sidelines.

  24. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Would love it if Hazard unexpectedly announced that he was signing for another Prem club 😀

    1. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      swap deal for Ozil 🙂

    2. Epic Fail

      Villa have got money to spend.

      1. McEwan
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Im still not happy about the McGinn move. His villa transfer was announced the night celtic played aek in the qualifiers. Everything was going well when that news broke!

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Awful for Celtic but obviously as a Villa fan I'm over the moon. Bargain of the season and player of the season.

          1. McEwan
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Yep, nothing money nowdays and will only get better. Would have been a mainstay for years to come. Delighted for him personally, probably wouldn't be receiving the same plaudits at this stage, and it's probably a plus for the national team tbh.

            Swear I wouldn't be half as bitter if we had capitalised that night, just a coincidence that the way the game panned out and that news dropping made It a long trip home!

  25. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    With no CL are Lacazette and/or Aubameyang likely to move on now with Real Madrid and Barcelona showing interest in one or other ?

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Definitely at risk you'd think

    2. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      hope not, really our only 2 quality players left, or ones that make a difference in a game, without them we'll be sinking way down the league

      1. McEwan
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Amazing how quick things change. Seem to have got old very quickly and the recruitment has been questionable. Think utd are along way off it, arsenal are a furlong further back

        1. SAY MY NAME
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          recruitment other than laca, auba and torreira has been awful, there's been some internal restructuring within the club and I think we were due to appoint a new sporting director but I haven't kept up with the latest developments, a few months ago we were looking at a couple of guys Emery had a good relationship with

          hopefully we'll be a bit more astute over next couple of windows

    3. Yome
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Wonder why they came to Arsenal at the first place. I think one of them will leave, I don’t think this partnership works great. Arsenal need quality playmakers to feed balls to them.

      1. SAY MY NAME
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        without Ramsey and Ozil failing constantly we do need some more creativity

        I think they work well together, and they have said so themselves that they like playing together, it is the quality or lack of, behind them, that doesn't help

  26. McEwan
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Kovicic with 4 European trophies in a row, can't be many in that company

  27. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Despite the 5 goals this was one of the worst finals in recent memory.

    1. McEwan
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Could probably point to it being a domestic game, can't think of many european finals that sparkled between two same nation teams

    2. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      For Chelsea fans it was pretty damn fine.

  28. CloudSky
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    First Mkhitaryan, now it appears Ozil, Aubameyang and Lacazette weren’t allowed to enter the country either. Absolute scandal.

  29. GREEN IS GOOD
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Another trophy for Chelsea.

    Amazing how they keep doing it despite the haters writing them off every season for the last 5 years lol.

    Expect more of the same next season. And more of the unexpected success!

      I wouldn't particularly say that a Europa League win is unexpected. Should be absolute minimum.

      True, might have won the league Cup too. Opposite of Spurs who have won nothing in eons. Have a sneaky feeling this will change at the weekend.

    Wow - Arsenal were shocking. At least that's one less team to tempt Wilf away now 🙂
