The emerging FPL trends concerning Calvert-Lewin, Vardy and Fernandes

Seven-time top 10k finisher Zophar delves into our Premium Members Area to assess three well-owned FPL assets and reveals his Gameweek 11 team.


As I recoil from the sight of three Aston Villa players in my team who are suddenly without a fixture in Gameweek 11, I figured I would share some observations on some trends I have noticed over the past few weeks.

    Grealish > Jota free? I have my wildcard still so i'll be able to adequately prepare from the Villa DGWs and bring Jack back

    If not and Cancelo doesn't play, i'm stuck trusting Dallas (che) and Bissouma

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

      Trust Dallas and Bissouma.

        Thanks

    Who to play guys?

    A) Semedo (liv)

    B) Bissouma (SOU)

    C) Dias -4 (FUL)

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. LewanGOALski
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      C (pay off in longer term at worst)

    4. Nolberto Solano
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I think Dias has a celing of 6 points, so better of just playing Semedo.

    5. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B

    6. Mufc202020
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      C

  3. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    A) Jota & KDB
    or
    B) Salah & Mahrez
    ..?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      This week A because of KdB captaincy.

      Next week, you’ll want Salah back.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A for this week at least

  4. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Allison injured again then. Don't think I've ever known there to be a more injury prone keeper! Jeez.

  5. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Who to lose next week to bring in Salah

    A. Kane
    B. Vardy
    C. Bruno

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Don't.

    2. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      a

    3. Z
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Kane if you have Son

  6. Deulofail

    Arsenal lineup predictions?

    Nelson and AMN looking good yesterday.

    Would expect Tets to start with Willian and one of Xhaka and Ceballos, but would be nice to see the young guns in the derby:

    Leno
    Bellerin Holding Gabriel Tierney
    Elneny Partey*/AMN
    Nelson Lacazette Saka
    Aubameyang

    Runarsson, Mari, Cedric, AMN/Xhaka, Ceballos, Willian, Nketiah

    Luiz will probably be back ahead of Mari, though. Even ahead of Holding, potentially. Willock will likely get in there too, probably at the expense of AMN.

    Looking forward to seeing Chambers back in the squad, maybe the following game, if there's space. Pepe will be back the game after that. Smith Rowe might get his chance before the end of the year.

    Martinelli back in January, I guess, but hoping for a Christmas miracle. Then there's Saliba...

    And maybe Mustafi and Kolasinac need to be put in the shop window.

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I feel for you

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Dross
      Dross / Dross / Dross
      Dross / Partey (if fit) / Dross / Dross
      Dross / Dross / Can't be arsed

    3. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Aubameyang will be an option soon.
      Arsenal will win the NLD

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Sounds like you’ve been smoking some of that leaf

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

      Wow. Based on a few laboured games, the players are suddenly bad? That team looks good on paper to me. Just no depth without Partey, Martinelli, Pepe.

  7. ADucksBehind
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    A) Ziyech + Dallas
    B) Mahrez + Dallas -4points

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A.

  8. LEFT-FIELD
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Current Mid:
    Salah, Son, Bruno, Grealish*, Soucek

    A) Salah to KdB (will have to play Soucek)
    B) Grealish to Mahrez (just for this gw)

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

    Rashford Son > Raphinha KDB(c) -4?

    Making it possible to transfer in Salah for free next week

    1. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Tough.Probably no.

  10. McSauce
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    could you imagine the scenes on here tomorrow if Pep goes full Pep and just rests the big dogs vs Fulham and runs out the other lads.

    KDB, Mahrez, Walker, Dias all benched

    1. Z
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      KDB is onlyone that is nailed......always

  11. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Would you FH this team or what other changes would you make

    What changes would you make to this team

    Areola

    Lamptey Chilwell Keane

    Lookman Jota Son Ziyech

    Kane DCL Vardy

    Martinez Semedo Dallas Grealish

    1 FT 0 ITB No WC FH available

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. stu92
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Definitely wouldn't do free hit. Double Fulham is a bit bold but I'd maybe roll the transfer and go big next week by coming off Kane/Vardy?

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure how you have done this to yourself - looks like the kind of supporting cast you would have around Mo,KDB or maybe Bruno not the whole thing.
      Areola out to another 4.5 will probably be a positive move.

    3. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      There is no Mac City cover and if they score few you can be in trouble
      Maybe Son to Mahrez?

  12. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone gonna (C) Sterling? Kinda worried or just sell him for Kdb?

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

      Get rid

    2. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No chance

      1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        No chance meaning?

        1. Sid1891
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Sorry
          No chance for Sterling captain if l had him this week
          Sell for Kdb

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

      Good news for Arsenal. Hart had a poor game last night.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Hart (c) against toothless Arse?

    3. Z
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Well...i have 2 Spurs back, they brought me a lot pts...so this is terible news

  13. stu92
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Any word on Robertson from Klopp's press conference?

    1. Taegugk Warrior
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Nope

  14. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    1FT, 1.1 ITB.

    Martinez*
    Chilwell, Zouma, Justin
    KDB, Son, Fernandes, Jota
    Vardy, DCL, Bamford

    (Steer, Bissouma, Mitchell, Kilman)

    A) Justin -> Dias
    B) Son -> Mahrez
    C) Son & Justin -> Mahrez & Walker
    D) Save FT

    Next week - Vardy & Bissouma -> Salah & Brewster.

    Thinking D is sensible move but drawn towards C to take full advantage of City's fixtures

    Cheers.

    1. Nolberto Solano
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Nice team, I would Save FT (D) and use two FT's next week

    2. abhirup780
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A

    3. abhirup780
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      But I'd probably do Mitchell to Dallas to prepare a bench for Christmas

  15. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Could I get away with this team for the weekend? Doing Sterling to KdB now and Kane and Bissouma to Salah and Brewster next week.

    Martinez!!!
    KWP Lamptey Zouma Justin
    Son KdB Bissouma Bruno
    Kane DCL

    Bench: Forster Mitchell Grealish Watkins

    2m in bank and 2FT.

    1. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Definitely

    2. Max City
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      You could

  16. StayoutheSpiceZone
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    KDB Sterling Grealish Son
    Richarlison Brewster

    Rashford & Abraham out (fed up with the doubts!) for ...

    a) Raphina & Jesus
    b) Raphina & Vardy
    c) Mahrez & Bamford
    d) Raphina & Werner

    Thanks

  17. Sid1891
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Ended up free hitting this :/
    Yes l know...

    Any moves you can think of?
    0 itb

    Mesler
    Walker Lamptey Van Anholt
    Kdb Pulisic Ziyech Mahrez
    Bamford Kane Werner

    Subs
    4.0 3.9 KWP Bissouma

    Thanks in advance

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I'd probably want Bruno if I had FH

      1. Sid1891
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks Max

        Who would you off load?

    2. Fpl_Juggernaut
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Get rid of puli.... Get bruno.. He won't start almost certainly

      1. Fpl_Juggernaut
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Kane to jesus maybe

        1. Sid1891
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Cheers Jagz

  18. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Based on Hodgson’s quote, do you Think Zaha will start?

    1. Z
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yeap....he is ready

  19. Chris_White
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Meslier over McCarthy on WC, what is the consensus?

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I see both will score very similar until the end of the season

      1. Chris_White
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah Leeds do have the fixtures in this coming period though

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

      I would probably go McCarthy and get Dallas in defence?

  20. Max City
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    A) JRod >> Jota (-4), meaning next week can do Son >> Bruno for free
    B) no hit this GW and JRod + Son >> Bruno + Jota (-4)

    1. Nolberto Solano
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Bruno in for Man City game?? May as well wait a couple more weeks

      1. Max City
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        yea, good point, thanks!

    2. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      If you go -4 you will need Jota to score to be even
      I would wait

      1. Max City
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        cheers!

  21. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Rashford> Mahrez(-4). No bench.

    Have KDB already.

  22. Nolberto Solano
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone else stuck with an unusual formation this week? I'm having to go 5-3-2!

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      4-4-2 here with no gk

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        This if I'm lucky

        1. Nolberto Solano
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Maybe I should count myself lucky fielding a full 11!

  23. HNI
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Is there chance Pope will be still out? need Peacock to play as GK...

    1. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Nope. It's been confirmed he will be back.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Pope plays

  24. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Pereira back in training for Leicester. Is this the end of Justin? Own him currently.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Justin should be there for another couple

    2. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Pereira also played in UEL

  25. FlyingWithoutIngs
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Someone get the mystic ball out and tell me will Dias start please

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

      If he is rested means would not play for 11 days- he will in my view play and rested in CL ahead of derby game. Pep always talks about keeping the rhythm and he has said all concentration on PL

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

    McCarthy (Steer)

    Chilwell Lamptey Cresswell Justin (Mitchell)

    Mane KDB (C) Son (Grealish Bissouma)

    DCL Vardy Brewster

    Can I get away with rolling 1FT this week?

    Other options would be doing Grealish to either Jota or Mahrez as have .8 ITB?

  27. Sterling Archer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Seems to be a common trend of players being rushed back too early and getting injured again this season!!

  28. GreennRed
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Are there gonna be supporters at any PL games this game week?

    1. Supernintendo Chalmers
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      yea 2.5k

  29. fridge
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    What would you do with this lot? Obviously I would like to get KDB in but not sure if I should just save now to have 2 FT next week to get in KDB and Grealish. I do also still have my wildcard...

    McCarthy
    Chilwell. Lamptey. Taylor
    Bruno. Son. Ziyech. Jota
    Kane. DCL. Vardy

    4.0. McCarthy. Dallas. 4.0

    1. Nolberto Solano
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      In your position I would save. Ziyech or Son to KdB would be the move this week
