Frisking the Fixtures

Which Premier League teams have the best and worst remaining fixtures?

There are just six Gameweeks remaining of 2019/20 so, with this week providing a little bit of respite ahead of a frenetic fortnight, we are taking another look at which Premier League clubs have the most and least favourable remaining fixtures.

This will be our final ‘frisk’ of the calendar this season as we prepare for five Fantasy Premier League deadlines in the space of two weeks.

Previously we had looked at the outstanding fixtures as a block and then highlighted the good and bad from Gameweeks 30+ to 34+.

Now we focus exclusively on Gameweeks 33+ to 38+, with a number of clubs experiencing fixture swings in different directions.

The upcoming matches look as follows on our Season Ticker:

The Season Ticker above is customisable for our Members, who can filter by difficulty, rotation pairings and home and away games as well as sort by attack and defence.

Full details are available here.

The Good

Manchester City

Next six: sou | NEW | bha | BOU | wat | NOR

Even Manchester United arguably don’t have an appealing a fixture run as their ‘noisy neighbours’ in the final six Gameweeks of 2019/20.

The Citizens’ remaining half-dozen games are all against sides currently in the bottom eight of the table, with Pep Guardiola’s troops the only club in the division avoiding a top-half team in the run-in.

While the “having something to play for” argument could be made in the case of the Premier League strugglers, let’s remind ourselves that Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich City haven’t won a single game between them since the Premier League resumed in June.

Those three teams are also without a clean sheet in the last three Gameweeks, having conceded 20 goals in a combined nine post-restart matches.

Before that is a meeting with a Southampton side who have the poorest home record in the division and then a clash with Newcastle United, who the Citizens comprehensively outplayed in last weekend’s FA Cup quarter-final.

As ever, the problem with City is who to buy.

Guardiola has made multiple changes in league and cup since the resumption, with no player having started all five of their competitive games.

The rewards will likely be as high as the risks for FPL managers, however, given how attractive those fixtures look and how on-song they’ve been over the last fortnight.

Manchester United

andys-gw33-article 3

Next six: BOU | avl | SOU | cry | WHU | lei

Manchester United will likely have a more settled side than their cross-city rivals in the run-in, at least so long as UEFA Champions League qualification is on the line.

The Red Devils are locked in a four-way tussle (at least) for two or three Champions League spots, which should ensure those involved in the neck-and-neck scrap continue to name strong starting XIs.

Eight members of Solskjaer’s first team are ever-presents in the last three Gameweeks.

The next two matches are perhaps the best in the division as a pair.

Bournemouth and Aston Villa have kept only one clean sheet between them this calendar year and they, along with United’s Gameweek 37+ opponents West Ham United, have the worst defensive records in 2020 in terms of both clean sheets and goals conceded.

The Cherries, in particular, looked woeful against Newcastle United on Wednesday.

Being ‘on the beach’ could work one of two ways for Southampton and Crystal Palace but few FPL managers will fear those tests based on United’s performances since the restart and even a Gameweek 38+ clash at Leicester City mightn’t be as tough as first feared, given that the stuttering Foxes have won just one of their last eight Premier League fixtures.

West Ham United

What impact has David Moyes had on West Ham? 5

Next six: new | BUR | nor | WAT | mun | AVL

West Ham United’s final six fixtures are very decent indeed, with five of the games against teams currently ranked tenth or below.

Three of the four clubs beneath them in the table are to come for the Hammers, who geared up for the fixture swing with an excellent win over Chelsea in midweek.

The impressive Jarrod Bowen (£6.4m) and Michail Antonio (£6.9m) will likely start more matches than not so long as their Premier League status is on the line but, given how good the fixtures are, it’s feasible that David Moyes’ side could have their Premier League safety sewn up in advance of Gameweek 38+.

Newcastle and Burnley might make things trickier for the Hammers’ attacking assets, with the Magpies boasting one of the best home defensive records in the division and the Clarets having kept clean sheets in six of their last nine Premier League matches.

A trip to Old Trafford in Gameweek 37+ looks like one to swerve, too.

The three matches against Norwich City, Watford and Aston Villa, all of whom are winless since the Premier League resumed, are the real stand-out fixtures, however.

Also Consider

Few other teams can match the three sides above for favourable schedules.

Liverpool (AVL | bha | BUR | ars | CHE | new) assets have long been considered fixture-proof, of course, with the Reds having beaten every team in the division at least once this season.

The issue with Jurgen Klopp’s side is less about the opposition and more about the uncertainty of what an early title win brings, be it questions over motivation or the increased risk of rotation.

Klopp indeed said recently that he will have to make “a lot of changes” with the games coming so thick and fast.

Thursday’s pasting at Manchester City was also perhaps a sign of a drop-off from their usual sky-high levels.

A home fixture against Aston Villa this weekend will see Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) and co enter the captaincy equation, even if the Villans have tightened up slightly since the restart.

Burnley’s record against the big guns (two clean sheets and 33 goals conceded in 14 matches against the top eight) should also provide encouragement ahead of Gameweek 35+.

Everton (tot | SOU | wol | AVL | shu | BOU) and Norwich City (BHA | wat | WHU | che | BUR | mci) both have Jekyll-and-Hyde runs, with some appealing home fixtures punctuated by trickier trips away.

Given the Canaries’ plight (only one goal scored in their last eight league matches and none since the restart), it’ll likely only be the Toffees’ Fantasy assets who seriously trouble the FPL radar.

Everton’s defence has impressed since the June resumption, conceding just one goal in matches against Liverpool, Norwich and Leicester, so the likes of Mason Holgate (£4.3m) could potentially be wheeled out for the visits of Southampton, Aston Villa and Bournemouth and benched for the trips to Spurs and Wolves.

The Toffees’ last three opponents have scored on just six occasions from 11 combined post-restart matches, indeed.

Harry Kane - An FPL Must Own Over Christmas 1

The reverse is perhaps true of Tottenham Hotspur (EVE | bou | ARS | new| LEI | cry), who arguably have trickier fixtures at home than they do on their travels.

Bournemouth, Newcastle and Crystal Palace are in the bottom six for goals scored this season, although the Magpies have shone in an attacking sense of late.

Everton and Arsenal have only kept a combined three clean sheets on the road since Carlo Ancelotti and Mikel Arteta were appointed in December, meanwhile.

Don’t discount Burnley‘s (SHU | whu | liv | WOL | nor | BHA) run-in, either, with Nick Pope (£5.0m) having kept 11 clean sheets in 18 meetings against the sides currently ranked 10th or below – four of whom the Clarets play between Gameweeks 33+ and 38+.

Wolves have frequently struggled to break down the ‘also-rans’, too, so a clash with Nuno Espirito Santo’s troops might not be as bad as it looks.

Using the ‘per 90’ tool to assess FPL midfielders with the best goal threat 1

Owners of Ismaila Sarr (£6.2m) may well be clinging on to the hope that Watford (che | NOR | NEW | whu | MCI | ars) can raise their game in Gameweeks 34+ to 36+, with the out-of-sorts Hornets facing three winnable matches against bottom-half teams.

Following their struggles against Burnley and Southampton, however, it’s very much a case of fixtures over form for Nigel Pearson’s troops.

Watford’s first opponents in the last six Gameweeks are Chelsea (WAT | cry | shu | NOR | liv | WOL), whose next four matches are very tempting indeed – providing Sheffield United don’t rediscover their pre-lockdown form, which is very possible based on Thursday’s evidence.

Home fixtures against the relegation-threatened Hornets and Norwich are obviously the pick of the bunch – those two clubs have scored just one goal between them in their last eight away fixtures combined.

The Bad

Bournemouth

Next six: mun | TOT | LEI | mci | SOU | eve

Bournemouth have perhaps the worst run-in in the division with four top ten sides to come between Gameweeks 33+ and 36+.

Even if the Cherries were a team in form, those fixtures would be a tough sell.

As it happens, they are in dreadful nick.

Favourable matches against Crystal Palace and Newcastle United have come and gone without Eddie Howe’s side having scored, with only a Gameweek 37+ home fixture against Southampton (who let’s not forget have been excellent travellers this season) offering much hope of a result.

If there is any cause for optimism, it’s that Bournemouth have not been too awful against the ‘bigger’ teams this season, having taken points from Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal.

But they’ll be a team we’re targeting for the wrong reasons between now and Gameweek 38+.

Crystal Palace

Next six: lei | CHE | avl | MUN | wol | TOT

No Premier League side has fewer remaining meetings (one) with sides in the bottom half than Crystal Palace, with three of the Eagles’ outstanding games against ‘big six’ sides and the other two against Champions League-chasing Leicester and Wolves.

The Eagles have been solid at the back under Roy Hodgson but all ten of the shut-outs in 2019/20 have come against clubs ranked tenth or below.

Goals have been hard to come by at the other end, meanwhile – only Norwich City have scored fewer this season.

The likes of Jordan Ayew (£5.2m) and Gary Cahill (£4.4m are in emergency substitute territory for the run-in, then, with the exception perhaps of the Gameweek 35+ clash with Aston Villa.

Aston Villa

Next six: liv | MUN | CRY | eve | ARS | whu

That clash between Aston Villa and Palace also perhaps represents the best chance for Dean Smith’s side to pick up points in their fight against the drop.

Either side of that game are meetings with both Merseyside clubs, Manchester United and Arsenal.

Not only are the fixtures bad, but the form is too: Villa are winless in their four post-restart games, having scored just twice in the meanwhile.

Jack Grealish (£6.2m) is the only Villa asset with a noteworthy FPL ownership figure but he is haemorrhaging owners by the week, with his blanks in Double Gameweek 30+ followed by two more fruitless showings.

A security of starts is about the only thing in Grealish’s corner at present, with the Villa talisman having failed to deliver in eight of his nine last starts.

Also Consider

Is it time to invest in Arsenal assets after Gameweek 28? 5

Arsenal (wol | LEI | tot | LIV | avl | WAT) and Southampton‘s (MCI | eve | mun | BHA | bou | SHU) seasons end on a high note, fixture-wise, but there are some tricky tests to come before then.

Two clubs tussling for a Champions League place are up next for the Gunners, with the north London derby and the visit of Liverpool rounding off a tough foursome of fixtures.

Do the fixtures matter to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m), though? The Gabonese forward is tied with Jamie Vardy (£9.7m) in the race for the Golden Boot and has banked attacking returns against five of Arsenal’s next six opponents already this season.

Danny Ings (£7.3m) is himself only one goal behind Aubameyang, and those three final games for Southampton look attractive.

The two in-form Manchester clubs lie in wait before then, however, as well as an Everton side who have conceded only one goal (and a freak one, at that) since the mid-June restart.

The Toffees, City and United have indeed kept a combined seven clean sheets in ten matches from Gameweek 30+ onwards.

Patience with Vardy wearing thin as Leicester attack continues to struggle

Leicester City (CRY | ars | bou | SHU | tot | MUN) and Newcastle United (WHU | mci | wat | TOT | bha | LIV) have decent home fixtures in Gameweek 33+ before things take a bit of a turn.

The out-of-sorts Foxes have been struggling since the restart, picking up only two points from three matches against teams in the bottom half.

Their run-in isn’t a complete write-off, with a wretched Bournemouth side who have kept fewer clean sheets than any club in 2019/20 to come in Gameweek 35+.

Whether Tottenham Hotspur are formidable opposition based on Thursday’s evidence is also up for debate.

Two of the most improved defences in Arsenal and Manchester United lie in wait, however, along with a dogged Sheffield United backline that looked a lot more like their old selves in Gameweek 32+.

The Magpies face the free-scoring top two in the run-in but the budget-friendly Jamaal Lascelles (£4.3m) and Federico Fernandez (£4.6m) are at least available at ‘benchable’ prices and decent options in three other fixtures against clubs in the bottom five.

        Not fully I think. Injury issue may return too. First one possibly safer I suppose

  2. TaiwanHC

    My WC team is OFFICIALLY completed!

    Ederson
    VVD - Doherty - Maguire - Chilwell
    Salah - KDB - Mahrez - Fernandes - Martial
    Jimenez

    Button, Connolly, Nketiah, Simpson

    Feels great.

    1. Lav

      Superb side.

    2. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      same midfield think its ideal atm. Will look to go mahrez to foden next week

    3. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Love the Maguire pick. Even I'm getting him instead of AWB. Can see some goals from him!

  3. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Martial or rashford better pick to keep till the end? Mahrez or Sterling for the run in? Martial can explode on his day so maybe he is a great patient pick. Mahrez too?

    1. Luton_Fan
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Mahrez, martial

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Martial better, but I've gone Rashford to free up and midfield slot. Mahrez is good, yes.

    3. Park the bus
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Martial obvs a fair bit cheaper but would take up a mid slot that one of the City boys would tae. tough one!

  4. Park the bus
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    AWB over Maguire despite the slight price difference right?

    1. Lav
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

    2. Viper
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Looks like he's worth the outlay. Playing very well. Maguire will grab a 15 pointer at some stage though

    3. Victor6359
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah

    4. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah probably. I went Maguire with the unlimited transfers just for the comfort of knowing he's starting every single game but AWB seems to have found his assist touch lately.

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

    DCL to Greenwood or save & play Foden?

    Pope (3.9)
    TAA Doh Aurier (Saiss) (3.9)
    Mane KDB Son Martial Foden
    Rash Jimi (DCL)

    1. Park the bus
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Greenwood

    2. timmmuh
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Save and play Foden; even if he doesn’t start - he’s been scoring points as a 25 min sub.

  6. Viper
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I probably ask more here than I answer so throw a few questions at me, I'd be happy to try & help.

    Disclaimer: I'm doing awful this season though so take with a pinch of salt 🙂

        Gw38.

        City leaked team news will be crucial

          yep. Good call.
          I might play gw37 where fa Cup semis may decimate starting 11.

            Isn’t the expectation that the games will be midweek but in the same GW

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      7pt lead in ML, do you go agressive with a -8 or FH?

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Why the need for such a big hit?

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years

          Brought in salah for son and mahrez for cantwell

          Losing auba to nkeitah

          Wanted salah cap and think Mahrez could haul

          1. Viper
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I'd personally take the hit

            1. Eat my goal!
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Team is

              Pope
              Taa awb Doherty
              Salah mahrez Kdb mount bruno
              Rash jimi

              Nkeitah lascelles Lunds

              Concern is bench is shite, could FH save the hit and bring in pulisic for mount and have holgate and 4.2 non injured defender on the the bench?

    3. Deulofail
      • 8 Years

      Where to spend the extra 1.3m in my WC team?
      Planning to BB in GW34/35. Keep it in the bank?

      Martinez
      TAA Doherty Digne
      KDB Mahrez Bruno Pulisic Foden
      Kane Rashford

      McCarthy | Greenwood, Saiss, Holgate

      If you're within top 2m, I will heed your advice

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Boly over Saiss & bank the rest?

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Looks like I'm gonna bank it, yeah, thanks Viper.

          I instinctively went for Boly at first, but Saiss seems to be way ahead of him in goal threat, so I made the switch. Not convinced either way but a bit of a coin flip for the sake of just one match in GW 34 potentially. They play Sheffield who has conceded plenty of headed attempts since the restart, so that kind of cemented my decision.

          Cheers 🙂

      I’m having a shocking season so thinking of taking a risk and doing kdb and Saar to Mahrez and martial...

      Or play it safe and keep kdb and do Saar and DCL to Mahrez and greenwood. What you reckon?

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        KDB out is something that has tempted me due to ownership but it's awful without him. I sold him before his 19 pointer vs. Arsenal.

        I like Sarr & DCL out, they look solid moves

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Cheers! I also sold before that arsenal game so you’d think I’d learn my lesson

          1. Viper
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Don't get me wrong, I'm toying with the idea as I think he'll be benched vs. Southampton but then we're back to square one vs. Newcastle. I doubt any differentials outscore KDB

      2. timmmuh
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Saar and DCL to Mahrez and greenwood

      Martial, Bruno or mahrez for captain?

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        At the moment I'm going Mahrez.

        I have Rashford, Bruno & Martial so hoping that 'covers' United.

        It's rare such an explosive player like Mahrez is under 10% owned and we have a pretty good idea that he'll start too. He's a good gamble I think

        1. waltzingmatildas
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Leaning that way. Plus as a utd fan, I'll be happy even if I miss out on a haul.
          Good luck, and cheers!

    7. timmmuh
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Waffling on my captain pick...
      Rashford great form at home and playing Bournemouth; salah home v Villa - salah kills at home but Villa been parking the bus and it’s been working; Bruno at home ... also v Bournemouth. Also have KDB. I feel like Rashford is due for a big haul. What do you think?

        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Son still dangerous and due to break out (despite playing outside more). He doesn’t need a bunch of shots to score ...

    Here we go. Thoughts and am I GTG?

    Henderson
    Trent • Doherty • Egan
    Salah (c) • Mahrez • KdB • Mahrez • B.Fernandes
    Jimenez • Greenwood

    Foster • Gayle • Diop • Lundstram

    Did Sarr & Auba to Salah & Gayle (-4)

      Great if you are able to get away with it!

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years

        Get away with what ?!

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

          Assume 1 Mahrez is a Martial and still great team. I might be tempted to play Gayle as think Newcastle v West Ham will have a few goals and danger of Greenwood 1 pointer off bench

    2. Ady87
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Double Mahrez could pay off, I like it.

    3. Victor6359
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      2 Mahrez mate

    4. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Too few Mahrez

  10. circusmonkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Did Auba and Guendozy to Nketiah and Mahrez for free.
    Captaining Bruno but TAA sitting there on RMT with the highest expected score.
    Just feel more confident that he won't be benched.

    I've seen a lot of people overstate the Thursday-Sunday turnaround for City and Pool. The Europa League clubs did it all the time, Jimenez was doing it week in week out earlier in the season. It's also the exact same turnaround as Wednesday-Saturday or Saturday-Tuesday which City and Pool are very much used to from the CL every season. Yes it's tough after a few weeks, but Liverpool have literally just had 8 days off, on the back of 3 months off.

    1. Fudgy

      Agreed. It's baloney.

  12. HashAttack
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Who should be my 4th defender (FH - Pope, TAA, AWB, Chilwell, x, playing 4-5-1)

    Stevens, Mee or Richie?

    I was on Stevens but seen RIchie in some other teams ... can afford him if Mane drops tonight

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Ritchie
      Stevens
      Mee

      That order

      1. HashAttack
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks & done - have put in KDB as a place holder hoping Mane drops tonight ... then I just have to remember to buy Mane tomorrow before deadline

  13. Victor6359
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    The 2 guys I’m chasing both have KDB. Would you do KDB to Sterling for -4?

    A: yip

      I'm in a similar position with 2 FTs and Vardy and Saka. I'm leaning toward Mahrez and Greenwood, then hoping Greenwood or Foden start.

  16. Gubbins94.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Was all set on Son > Martial but seems everyone here is getting Mahrez - any particular reason to go Mahrez over Martial that I'm missing?

    Patricio (Martin)
    TAA Doherty Taylor (Lascelles Kiko)
    KdB Mane Bruno (c) Son Barnes
    Jimenez DCL (Nkeiah)

    2FT £0.2m

    Feeling a little light on Man U. As a Spurs fan I know how peripheral Son has looked. Barnes has got a nice fixture but probably needs to go.

    a) Barnes + Son > Mahrez + Pulisic
    b) Kiko + Son > AWB + Martial
    c) DCL + Son > Rashford + Pulisic

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Barnes, Son, DCL

      to

      Mahrez, Foden, Rashford

      1. Pegboy
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Off by £0.5m. Would have to be Pulisic instead of Mahrez.

        1. Pegboy
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          And therefore I'm not sure Barnes > Foden is worth -4, especially this week.

    These are the transfers I wanna make over the next few GWs, which ones would be best to do this week? Don't mind taking a hit.
    n.b. I already have AWB, Martial, Sterling, KDB, Jimenez and currently on 0.9 ITB

    WALKER --> VVD
    GREALISH --> ANTONIO/FODEN/WILLIAN
    STERLING? --> SALAH
    SON --> MAHREZ/FERNANDES
    AUBA --> KANE/RASHFORD/JESUS

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      This week Rashford in for Auba and Mahrez for Son

  23. George James
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Evening,

    Anyone on here own TAA and Neco Williams? If so what are your plans with them this week,Start both?

  24. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Which transfer is best assuming I start them?

    A) Auba and Doucoure --> Maupay and Mahrez

    B) Auba and Doucoure --> Greenwood and Mahrez

    Option B allows me to have 3.6m to do Mahrez to Sterling the week after

    1. George James
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Probably the easiest decision I have ever seen.

  25. Pep Pig

    3 years, 8 months ago

    Hi all. Current forward line is Kane, DCL and Jimmy.
    I can't shake the feeling that Pukki is gong to end his drought tomorrow. It won't be a popular choice DCL > Pukki but it's the way I'm thinking. If he does do well in the early KO tomorrow, he then has Watford (a) and West Ham (h) so would be a 3 week punt..... providing he can manage a shot at goal as Norwich have been pretty dire.
    Rather than watch hims score then jump on, I'm allowing instinct to decide for me

    Top 10k ownership makes me think it could be greatly if I'm right.

    DCL 40.43% ownership 34.84% EO
    Pukki 1.26% ownership 0.59% EO

    I appreciate Spurs were awful the other night against Sheff Utd but I can''t see a repeat of that.

    I'm just typing out loud so sorry if anyone reads all this 😀

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1. Pep Pig
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Absolutely agree mate....whoch doesn't exactly sell my plan

        1. Pep Pig
          • 7 Years

          *which

    4. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      In those cases, if you don't get him and he does score it would ruin the whole for fpl so I'd go with your gut and get him.

      I agree on Spurs point, they'll probably show a reaction on Monday and Mourinho sides always play better football at home anyway so don't think DCL is a great option this GW.

    Would you BB this lot?
    Greenwood
    Taylor
    Lascelles
    Mccarthy

    Not expecting much from Mccarthy but the rest could do well. Worried about Lascelles not starting though. Is he expected to start?

    1. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Are you sure your first 11 will play?

      1. ktk_interista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        First 11 has Mane, TAA but I cannot bench those fearing rotation. I'll have to take that risk. Klopp's comments suggest he will field a strong team. I have Jota who could be a slight risk. The rest are fairly nailed. My thinking is this week is the strongest my bench will be and rotation will only get worse from now on.
