The FPL Round-Up: Ings update, Rodgers’ rotation and Watkins ‘hat-trick’

Leicester City 2-2 Manchester United

  • Goals: Harvey Barnes (£6.7m), Axel Tuanzebe (£4.2m) own goal | Marcus Rashford (£9.5m), Bruno Fernandes (£11.0m)
  • Assists: James Maddison (£7.1m), Jamie Vardy (£10.1m) | Fernandes, Edinson Cavani (£7.8m)
  • Bonus: Fernandes x3, Luke Shaw (£4.8m) x2, Youri Tielemans (£6.4m)

Bruno Fernandes‘ (£11.0m) seventh double-digit return of the season couldn’t stop Leicester City scrapping to a point in a lively lunchtime encounter at the King Power Stadium.

The Manchester United midfielder set up Marcus Rashford‘s (£9.5m) first-half opener, albeit from a lucky deflection, before latching on to an Edinson Cavani (£7.8m) pass and steering a shot past Kasper Schmeichel (£5.5m) as the game entered the final 20 minutes.

Maximum bonus took Fernandes to 12 points on the day – the fifth time he’s hit double figures in away matches.

Leicester’s most popular player, the 25.7%-owned Jamie Vardy (£10.1m), had a quiet day until the 86th minute, when his shot went in off Axel Tuanzebe (£4.2m) for an own goal and an assist for the forward.

The Foxes’ other strike came from Harvey Barnes (£6.7m), who was handed a third straight start and scored for the first time since Gameweek 10.

The assist came from James Maddison (£7.1m), his first return since a monster 16-point haul in Gameweek 12.

Fernandes’ fine form has earned him an early lead in the race to be Gameweek 16’s most popular transfer-in, although the Red Devils’ schedule – visits from Wolves and Aston Villa before a Gameweek 18 blank – is not exactly inspirational.

Leicester also have an upcoming blank, with trips to Crystal Palace and Newcastle offering the prospect of returns before that.

Gameweek 16 could see Brendan Rodgers ring the changes, however, with the Leicester boss saying after full-time:

There’ll be one or two players that have just come back that there will be question marks over and that we’ll need to have a look at. The likes of Tim Castagne, who has just come back from a hamstring injury, are we going to risk that 48.5 hours later?

Yes [I could rest Jamie Vardy or Youri Tielemans]. I’m not prepared to put a level of risk in that means they’re going to miss six weeks to two months with an injury. We’ll make changes – the number, we’ll have to wait and see.

As for United, Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.4m) missed out and Victor Lindelof (£4.8m) was forced off with a recurrence of his back problem midway through the second half; both players will be assessed before Tuesday.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer also provided an update on Rashford:

Leicester City XI (4-3-2-1): Schmeichel; Castagne, Evans, Fofana, Justin; Ndidi, Tielemans, Albrighton (Perez 81); Barnes, Maddison; Vardy

Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Shaw, Maguire, Lindelöf (Tuanzebe 66), Bailly; Fred, McTominay; Rashford, Fernandes, James (Pogba 54); Martial (Cavani 75)

Aston Villa 3-0 Crystal Palace

  • Goals: Bertrand Traore (£5.9m), Kortney Hause (£4.4m), Anwar El Ghazi (£5.7m)
  • Assists: Ollie Watkins (£6.1m) x3
  • Bonus: Hause x3, Emiliano Martinez (£4.9m) x2, El Ghazi, Traore x1

A screamer from Anwar El Ghazi (£5.7m), a tireless if profligate performance from Ollie Watkins (£6.1m) and a red card for Tyrone Mings (£5.4m) were the key takeaways from a thoroughly entertaining game at Villa Park.

The 13.9%-owned Mings was sent off after collecting two yellow cards in six forgettable minutes involving Wilfried Zaha (£7.5m) and high levels of stupidity.

Aston Villa were already ahead by then, courtesy of Bertrand Traore‘s (£5.9m) second goal in a week, the midfielder steering home after Watkins’ shot was parried by Crystal Palace keeper Vicente Guaita (£4.9m).

Traore became the unfortunate victim of Mings’ indiscretion as he was replaced by centre-half Ezri Konsa (£4.8m) on the stroke of half-time.

But any hopes of a Palace comeback were squashed by a counter-attacking masterclass from the home side after the break.

Kortney Hause (£4.4m) doubled the lead after a Watkins header hit the bar, before El Ghazi curled home a beautiful shot on the angle from the striker’s lay-off.

A hat-trick of assists broke Watkins’ five-match barren spell, but he could have had a huge haul on the day, missing three big chances and having 10 attempts.

As for El Ghazi, that was the midfielder’s third goal in two Gameweeks – and his fourth in four – but trips to Chelsea and Manchester United, plus a visit from Spurs, might dampen Fantasy enthusiasm for him and his team-mates.

This was another game to come too soon for hamstrung loanee Ross Barkley (£5.9m), who will again be absent in Gameweek 16 as he is ineligible to face his parent club.

Mings owners aside, it was another good week to be on a Villa defender as Dean Smith’s side kept a fourth straight clean sheet.

Palace, meanwhile, remain in a wretched little spot. Winless in four matches, they’ve now conceded ten (and scored none) over the last two Gameweeks ahead of a visit from Leicester on Monday.

Aston Villa XI: (4-2-3-1) Martínez; Targett, Mings, Hause, Cash; Luiz, McGinn; El Ghazi, Grealish, B Traoré; Watkins.

Crystal Palace XI (4-4-2): Guaita; van Aanholt, Dann, Kouyaté, J Ward; Eze, McArthur, Milivojevic, Schlupp; Zaha, Benteke. 

Fulham 0-0 Southampton

  • Bonus Points: Jan Bednarek (£4.7m) x3 Kyle Walker-Peters (£4.7m) Alphonse Areola (4.5m) x2

No need for lazy clichés about Christmas crackers at Craven Cottage as Fulham and Southampton played out a goalless draw involving just three shots on targets between them.

That meant clean sheet points for the second time in three Gameweeks for that rarest of beasts – the Fantasy manager with a Fulham defender in their sides.

It was two shut-outs in four for Southampton, but aside from keeper Alex McCarthy (£4.6m and 22.9%), their most popular defender, the 15%-owned Jannik Vestergaard (£5.0m), brought in zero points as he missed out with a knee injury that could sideline him for a number of weeks.

Saints manager Ralph Hasenhuttl, who was also without other regulars Danny Ings (£8.3m) and Nathan Redmond (£6.4m), gave an update on all three post-match:

Both Redmond and Ings have muscle injuries and we will have to see. They are both out, but not as long as Jannik. Vestergaard will be out for four weeks, maybe even more, we don’t know.

Jack Stephens (£4.6m) deputised for Vestergaard well enough, but those thinking of swapping him in for the injured centre-half should bear in mind that Southampton face Liverpool and Leicester either side of a Blank Gameweek 18, with Leeds as the other team making up their Double Gameweek 19.

As for Fulham, their new-found defensive solidity will be sorely tested when the likes of Spurs, Chelsea and Man United come a-calling over the next few Gamweeks.

Fulham XI (4-2-3-1): Areola; A Robinson, Adarabioyo, Andersen, Aina; Anguissa, Reed; Lookman (Kebano 90), Loftus-Cheek, Cavaleiro; De Cordova-Reid (Mitrovic 83)

Southampton XI (4-4-2): A McCarthy; Bertrand, Bednarek, J Stephens, Walker-Peters; Armstrong (Djenepo 90+3), Ward-Prowse, Diallo, Walcott; Adams, S Long (N’Lundulu 90+2).

    Raphinha or Saka for the next 2 regardless of blank and DGW

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

      Raphinha for me

    2. acidicleo

      Raphinha....better attacking team.

    3. Magic Zico

    GW16 set up - 2 FTs - 2.6 in the bank

    Martinez (Johnstone)
    Lamptey, Cresswell, Alioski (Vestergaard, Lewis)
    Klich, Son, Souček, Bruno, KdB
    Bamford, Aguero (Wilson)

    I have Antonio coming in for Wilson at a later date, if he's fit. Lewis of course dropped as soon as I got him in, but can't account for that. He'll be back for 'easier' fixtures I suppose.

    1. Bronski
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No Salah or pool assets may be risky?

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

        Originally had Salah, but had to lose him when he wasn't starting the last game... was out by 0.1 then to bring him back in for the following GW. But, not wanting to be getting in 2nd tier cover, no point bothering now. I could go KdB to Salah... could.

  3. jb1985
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Are people looking to get a 2nd keeper in for DGW bench boost, even if it means for a hit?

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

      Of course.
      Thinking about Fabs or McCarthy

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

        Fabs could be gold.

      This double Southampton defence is fun isn't it? Had McCarthy for a while and got Walker-Peters in yesterday. Loving it.

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

        Sh*t sorry. Wasn't meant to be a reply to you. 😆

        For what it's worth, yeah I'm getting in a second keeper. Won't be a hit in itself since it'll be my last transfer (taking a few hits now) but overall it'll be part of a bigger hit. All in to win.

    3. Bronski
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Why not Johnstone only 4.5 and nailed. Big Sam probably getting bus parked by then?

    3. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Not at all, feeling good at the moment. Four out of five returned yesterday and Salah (c), Son, Bamford, Firmino, Cresswell and Soucek to go.

  5. Magic Zico

            I am considering Tony too..

            1. Party time
                3 years, 3 months ago

                Well, it is a risk I am willing to take. Cavani also there so it is a risk but I trust Tony

                  3 years, 3 months ago

                  Martial was woeful again yesterday. Pedestrian, poor ball control the lot. Still he has scored an entire goal this season so........

                  I am ditching this gw for Martial

                    • 7 Years
                    3 years, 3 months ago

                    I can actually afford this move.

                    3 years, 3 months ago

                    Brought him for Martial fir the shu game. Abysmal performance. I would rather have Martial, also I am targeting the dgw

                      Will Tony play both games with cavan lurking?

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

                        No lol. Cavani must surely start the next game. Martial was abysmal.

                      2. Party time
                          3 years, 3 months ago

                          It is a risk

                  • acidicleo
                    • 7 Years
                    3 years, 3 months ago

                    I think so...sold him few weeks ago and didn't hurt me.

                    Nah, not for me. Yesterday was only the third blank in fifteen games, from a guy I got for 7.0m.

                      • 9 Years
                      3 years, 3 months ago

                      For 7.5 is there anything better?
                      Upgrade to martial means big downgrades elsewhere.

                        3 years, 3 months ago

                        Exactly. And I'm not even sure I'd want Martial at 1.2 more than DCL.

                  Madness to consider Grealish to Rashford for a hit?
                  FH18 so also helps DGW plan, can do it for free next week but it saves a future transfer and I might be priced out

                  City attack essential in GW 18?

                  Or will this be enough?

                  Martinez
                  Stones, Cancelo, Dier
                  Grealish, Son
                  Dcl, Kane

                  FH GW 19

                  1. S.Kuqi
                    • 11 Years
                    3 years, 3 months ago

                    That should be enough imo

                  2. Karan14
                    • 7 Years
                    3 years, 3 months ago

                    KDB will be a popular choice. Any points for him will hurt.

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

                    Probably enough

                  4. acidicleo
                    • 7 Years
                    3 years, 3 months ago

                    Looking at that team you will need FH19.
                    I would get KDB or a city attacker for 18 in as well.

                  5. Whats the Mata?
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 9 Years
                    3 years, 3 months ago

                    Probably try and fit in Sterling or Kdb for Salah in 17. Get Salah back in 20 or 21.

                    How's your FH19 lookin like?

                    1. Groot the Leveller
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 9 Years
                      3 years, 3 months ago

                      Swapping salah for kdb in gw18, fh19, then salah back in 20 was my plan.
                      I'll now lose 0.2 to do this, never mind any more increases in salahs price over 18/19.
                      I am not sure city attack is worth it to be honest

                      1. Whats the Mata?
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                    What are your plans? Surely your transfers have to depend on that. Are you gonna use any chips in 18 or 19?

                    If you're planning on riding out 18, you'd need both Kane and Son because I expect Villa vs Spurs to be an open game.

                    If you're planning to save the FH and ride out both 18 and 19, probably get both Son and Kane because they've got good fixtures in 16 nd 17, they play 18 too, and then take a hit and probably take one or both of them out for dgw players.

                  How on Earth do you prepare now without either chip? I'm thinking my best bet could even be to disregard both GWs and just play for the strongest available team week on week, and hope my rivals actually make their teams worse long term and end up losing a lot of value/wildcarding.

                  Thinking Martinez to Pope next week (FUL WBA) and Pope to Fabinski for DGW (BUR, WBA). They own Meslier and Martinez and think I could catch them on the hop with keeper hauls over those two weeks

                  KDB to Son or Rashford?

                  Seeing as one of Rashford's DGW matches is away at Liverpool, he feels like a trap.

                    Yes seems logical and Son for me. However care DGW19 no Spurs double

                        This, looks like he's playing in treacle. Still quality and will get returns but this is fpl, he's expensive and cheaper players are better

                    A. Anguissa to raphinha play 3/5/2, bench dcl for city and then bench Raph for spurs

                    B. Simple but boring move of lamptey to Justin (building for double)

                    C. Something else entirely

                        Could do, leaves me with double West Ham up until 19 but shouldn’t be a problem with my bench

                    Call me crazy but i am actually considering benching DCL for Watkins of all people. I feel Villa could catch Chelsea on the counter. Thoughts?

                      Could come off but is there a chance Watkins is rested? Do they have another CF they could use

                      What do you consider minimum amount of dgw19 players to activate bench boost?

                          Not my logic with BB, my logic is do I have 3-4 players 4th being the keeper who I want to bench boost with

                          Double figures probably enough.

                          This doesn't really matter. It's about the quality of the squad. You need to be in a position where on top of what I'd approximately your first choice X1 you have a worthwhile bench to boost

                          Yep agree with others. It’s all about whether the bench is boost-worthy

                        Werner, Vardy, James, DCL... I think all of them will be benched GW16

                          Dcl won't be benched. Do they even have any other option to play instead of him?

                            Thing is Carlo said he'll give DCL a rest over this period and that the City game will be the one in which he makes changes. I feel like he'll prioritize DCL's long term fitness over the City result, which is a very tough game anyways.

                            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                                3 years, 3 months ago

                                Yup he hinted at doing this so would make sense to bench him in this game

                              • Klaren
                                • 6 Years
                                3 years, 3 months ago

                                Richarlison being unavailable could change things though; they’ll have almost no attacking threat without either of them.

                                Either way, I don’t think he’s likely to score more than 1 or 2 points.

                            I hope DCL is benched. Should be good for my Portuguese double up.

                            James surely will be he was awful against arsenal mind you chillwell was equally as ineffective but at least didn’t clumsily give away a penalty

                            No. The worst of the storm has already passed through here.

                            Not likely given there aren’t any fans in stadia aside from the 2k permitted in the Liverpool grounds. The issue with the storms wasn’t on the playing conditions but for the fans travelling to and from the stadia safely.

                            Unlikely.

                            Issue with rain and wind is usually fans travelling to the ground. But with only Liverpool allowed to have fans (and only 2000 of them) the risk to the public is low.

                          Hi, what would you do with that team?
                          A Kdb and DCL to Son and Gardy
                          B just Kdb to Son
                          C something else?

                            Depends on your chip strategy but A looks best

                            Can you stretch to Kane and Son?

                              Unfortunately 0.1 too short budget..

                          What are most people doing for the BGW and DGW?

                          1. Don Kloppeone

                            3 years, 3 months ago

                            Split camp between FH/ BB or TC and others who are using only 1 chip and saving others for later unknown doubles

                            3 years, 3 months ago

                            Damage limitation exercise. And TC Salah

                            Nothing special, one week at a time

                            3 years, 3 months ago

                            I think I will use TC in GW19 and use BB later after I WC nearer the next DGW.

                            FH followed by WC and keeping ahead in my mini-leagues.

                            Let the pack chase 😀

                          Which would you rather bring in this week? I am playing BB in 19 and will have to FH in 18 as I’ll only have 4 players:

                          A) Kane: FUL, LEE, {FH}, shu
                          B) Vardy +0.9m: cry, new, {FH}, SOU, CHE

                          Rest of the team for GW19 will be:
                          Martinez, Johnstone
                          Robbo, Dias, Coufal, KWP, Taylor
                          Salah, Bruno, Son, Raphinha, Soucek
                          XXXX, Bamford, Adams

                          Cheers

                              Thanks mate. Obv the extra game for Vardy appeals but not sure I can ignore Kane’s form and fixtures are still good

                          2. Fulchester's New Centr…

                            B - think Vardy will get minutes even if he doesn't start maybe next one and you have Sonny already.

                          Cavani could be a good punt or I would rather cry?

                            3 years, 3 months ago

                            If he was starting games - yes. For the time being, no.

                            3 years, 3 months ago

                            Too risky at this point

                          What do you think of DCL & Wilson to Kane and Brewster?

                          Would then play a 3-5-2 as per the below...

                          Martinez
                          Cresswell - Taylor - Dallas
                          Salah - KDB - Son - Bruno - Soucek
                          Kane - Bamford

                          Robertson Cancelo Dallas Coufal
                          Salah Son KDB Grealish
                          DCL Bamford

                          Forster Soucek Brewster Ferguson

                          1. Grealish DCL >> Fernandes Wood or Adams (initial DGW19 plan)
                          2. KDB >> Fernandes (save 1FT)
                          3. KDB DCL >> Fernandes Kane
                          4. KDB DCL >> Fernandes Vardy

                            I like 3 from those. Fernandes becoming essential and Kane looks a must for the next 2 or 3.

                            1. DAZZ
                              • 9 Years
                              3 years, 3 months ago

                              Is Kane a ‘must have’ more so than Son? I own neither and need 1.

                          2. DAZZ

                            3 looks great to me

                          Would you BB this gw19 or ignore and TC?

                            BB. Any more than that on the bench and the budget your main 11 becomes too restricted.

                            Will you get a better bench? Like is your long term plan to have a playing bench that you invest in? If not, pull the BB trigger.
