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).

    Hmm questions I need to figure out today on my wildcard
    A) Kane or son?
    B) Adams, wood, rodrigo or dcl?
    C) Keep James and dias?
    D) Grealish or raphjna

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

      A) kept both for good fix, gw15wc
      B) Adams for dgw19 if you have Bam
      C) Maybe James if planning for 19
      D) Rap if planning for 19

    2. Pitch Perfect
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Both
      Adams
      Yes
      Grealish if you want him back after double and have value built up. Raphinha if not.

    3. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A. Son
      B. Don’t want any but DCL if I have to choose
      C. Yeah
      D. Grealish

    4. waltzingmatildas

      Cheers guys, very helpful!

    5. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I sold Grealish for Raph. Lost .4 out of it but his fixtures toughen up. He now has 2 men on him it seems and that 2 mil can help elsewhere to maximise wildcard. You should make at least .1 on Raph and possible Grealish could drop at least once with no double so took the risk.

  2. tc93
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Quick 1 or 2 lads? Cant decide which is the best move. Planning on not playing chip in 18 and TC in 19.

    1) Grealish + Zouma --> Raphina + Robbo (stick with 3-5-2)
    2) Grealish + Ayling --> Bissouma + Robbo (play 4-4-2)

    Good moves?

    Team:
    Martinez
    Zouma / KWP / Dias
    Salah (c) / Fernandes / Son / Grealish / KDB
    Adams / Bamford

    Bench: Button, Ayling, Michell, Davis.

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      2. But not a huge fan of either.

      1. tc93
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        why? Zouma/grealish both have tough fixtures

      2. tc93
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        liverpoool are hitting their stride- robbo is looking essential

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          no he's not

          1. Christina.
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Coufal and justin have 1 chance less created in last 4 matches. Both have created more big chances
            ...for 2.5m less.

            1. tc93
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              all the top managers I follow have robbo...

                • 10 Years
                3 years, 3 months ago

                If you ask for advice and someone gives it don’t respond like this.

                You asked for the advice it’s not our job to give the advice that you wanted to receive

                • 14 Years
                3 years, 3 months ago

                Why do you follow anyone. Play your own game and you will realise essential isn't even a thing in fpl

              3. Christina.
                • 14 Years
                3 years, 3 months ago

                well they obv are not top
                🙄

  3. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    KDB to:
    A - Vardy (downgrade KDB to Soucek/El Ghazi)
    B - Rashford/ Martial (have Bruno)
    C - Mane/ Firmino (have Salah, Robbo)

    1. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A

    3. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Have Kane?

    4. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A was the right answer

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

    When Antonio is back?

    Trying to find some good DCL replacement, preferably with DGW.

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

      Adams and Bamford with good fixtures. Antonio obvious if fit.

    2. Babit1967
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I’m thinking Bamford but Antonio, if fit is a great shout

  5. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Best move?

    A. KDB >> Son
    B. KDB >> Mané
    C. KDB+DCL >> Son+Vardy/Martial (-4)

    McCarthy
    Robbo, Dias, Coufal
    Salah, KDB, Bruno, Raphinha
    DCL, Bamford, Adams
    (Johnstone, Soucek, Dallas, C.Taylor)

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      C is the best but I’d be very wary about taking a hit the week after a WC

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Could do Son and then Martial or Vardy the week after. I was already on a hit before WCing last week so it’s swings and roundabouts. I knew both of those two needed to go but I had to give them those games. Backfired now though so just want to correct it. Could also get Kane with a KDB downgrade but only got 8.9

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          I get what you mean. May be better to just fix it now!

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Question is will vardy play again ?

            1. Don Kloppeone
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              I reckon he might get a rest this match

              1. RAFA THE GAFFA
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 3 months ago

                Was my thinking too mate. DCL >> Martial? Or just do KDB >> Son and no hit? Can’t really get Kane as no good 8.9m mids

                1. Don Kloppeone
                  • 6 Years
                  3 years, 3 months ago

                  I personally can’t let Martial touch my FPL teams due to a bad historic record 😆

                  1. RAFA THE GAFFA
                    • 7 Years
                    3 years, 3 months ago

                    Yeah. Might give DCL one last run out. Got a strong bench if he doesn’t play. KDB >> Son seems the smart move?

                    1. Don Kloppeone
                      • 6 Years
                      3 years, 3 months ago

                      Seems unlikely to go terribly....!

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

    Oh yes I sold Mahrez. Gw already a success.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Haul incoming vs Everton.

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

        Dont care 😀 it was wc 15 or 16 and plan was to ditch him anyway.

  7. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    For the next GW:

    1) Start Chilwell (AVL) or Coufal (sou)?
    2) Pick 2 to start from Grealish (che), Watkins (che) & Soucek (sou).

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Chilwell

        Grealish and Ollie

    2. FPL price manipulators are …
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Is that Maddison in the caption laughing at Vardy when he scores points than him in DGW19?

    3. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Ok guys i have 2 pptions

      A) Grealish & DCl ------> Soucek & Kane ( allows all 5 big hitters)

      B) KDB & Brewster -----> Raphina & Kane

      Leaning towards A atm cuz i dont see DCl starting and will sell grealish after this week anyway

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

        A

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

        Could go A also but not sure about losing Grealish

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

          Im FHing in week 18 and might BB the following week

          More than anything watching villa just annoys me now especially with him just gifting set pieces to others

      3. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Can't do A with raphina?

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

            Nope just short

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                3 years, 3 months ago

                Damn then yeah I'd go A

                Keeping DCL myself though everyone bar digne back from injury soon and fixtures improve

        • manu4life99
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          A) Kane in (potential 4pt swap to vardy dvw19)

          B) Vardy in (likely rested gw16 / 1 pt cameo but no 4pt hit dgw19)

          1. My heart goes Salalalalah
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            I'm on A

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

          Time for Watkins and Wilson to go...

          A) Martial
          B) Adams
          C) get both for -4

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Adams

              Martial if you have a good bench, his form hasn't improved that much and United always look way more dynamic when cavani comes on

            • Make United Great Again
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Martial only has 1 PL Goal. Stay far away.

            • Ron_Swanson
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Watkins has more Points per Million than Salah.

              I know he’s been profligate this season but I think once he converts one or two and grows his confidence he could go on a bit of a spree

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

            What would you do with this? I can't see any obvious issues, other than possibly KDB's form and DCL not getting much service?

            Martinez (Meslier)
            Dier - Stones - Coufal (Dallas & Taylor)
            Salah - KDB - Bruno - Soucek (Burke)
            DCL - Kane - Bamford

              What are you doing for the blank and double?

                3 years, 3 months ago

                Don't know, that's my problem.. was thinking of FHing for the blank and possibly TC on the DGW?

                  • 12 Years
                  3 years, 3 months ago

                  Why not ride out the blank - you have 8 players already. You could free hit 19 and bring in anyone you want. There will be other chances for tc and you can cover salah TCers by captaining and bring in mane/Robertson etc on free hit

                  • 12 Years

            Imagine selling Emi because of that one blank gameweek.

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

              35 points since then are unreal returns for a cheap goalkeeper.

              I sold for Ederson, so could have been worse, but still kicking myself. Will bring him back in on wildcard I reckon

            4 points from KDB & DCL was like a kick in the gut ... this game is painful at times

            People who are planning on riding out GW18 with no chip on the basis you have 7 or 8 playing... Are you worried about some of those being rested? So in reality you might only have 4 or 5 play?

            1. FER FUSCH AKE
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Naah. Not worries at all. If they are rested for me, they are rested for those who used their FH too. No big upside in wasting a chip on such a small sample size of players.

                Only the FH user has a bench full of alternatives...

              3 years, 3 months ago

              No because it’ll mean I’ll still probably have 3 or 4 fewer players than those who free hit as they’ll get the same.

              1. Pitch Perfect
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 3 months ago

                The FH user has a bench of subs. They can have 3 of their first picks not play and still get a full 11 out.

                1. Ron_Swanson
                  • 13 Years
                  3 years, 3 months ago

                  True although I do think it’ll be a low scoring week either way so hopefully the difference won’t be too big and saving the chip for later will more than make up for it

              3 years, 3 months ago

              There's a break of 1 week or more for all teams between GW17 & 18 - why do you think some will be rested?

                blank + double = 2 games
                non blank + single = 2 games

                I read about ‘only going with 7 in the blank’ to load up with double game week players. but doesn’t it all add up to the same ? 🙂

                    it does indeed, we all go a bit crazy with the sniff of a double game week but the quality fixtures for the top teams in 18 that have a single game in 19 are unprecedented

                  To be honest, this is why I don’t like FH18 & BB19 teams. Too much money spread across some very ‘meh’ players. 2 playing GKers and benching headaches to come after the double.

                  As a BB team in isolation, it’s pretty good though

                  There’s something about it in the article above. He got pushed very lightly then did a theatrical pantomime type roll on the floor - as is the norm these days - but then Noddy explained he did a sprint afterwards etc etc etc. He’s fine but will probably end up rested in the week as a precaution.

                Thoughts on DCL Kilman to Rodrigo TAA for -4?

                Would give me:

                Martinez
                Robo/TAA/Dallas
                Salah/Bruno/Son/Grealish

                B) son & benteke

                This is for fanteam. Dead-ending a team into the blank GW so any players coming in need to play in the blank. I will trade in the other son / kane prior to GW18 by disposing of salah and the palace boys can rotate with lamptey and bissouma. Any thoughts appreciated!

                      Yes I'm shipping him to kane but 0.3M Short of a straight swap so looking to downgrade soucek to a 4.5 mid or bring in son and a 5.4m forward.

                      An alternative is to trade out Robertson/ bamford/ Salah to cancelo / watkins / son but they all have good fixtures next week.

                Re Liverpool lineups. So one of the leaks yesterday we saw was confirmed to be a fake, how does that work? Like how does the original poster find out it’s fake?

                Also, assuming several different lineups were sent out to different people, then presumably someone has the correct lineup without realising and could leak it?

                  Salah will play. That’s enough for me and my armband after rivals captained KDB and Vardy. I have Robertson as well. I’m sure he’ll play too.

                  No point worrying about it. FPL fish has been proven incorrect in the past and just because someone wasn’t pictured in first team training doesn’t mean they won’t haul. Just be patient and whatever will be will be

                Why all the love for Che Adams? Southampton lack creativity especially without Ings and their fixtures are horrendous. Watkins and Bamford far far superior options

                  6th highest scoring forward in the game at a low price? Allows for improvements elsewhere too. I don’t own by the way but makes some sense to me.

                  Double gw. He’s done pretty well for his price. Matched DCL when I made that move a few gws ago so happy with that given price difference

                What is the best 2nd GK, 5th mid and 5th defender combination for a BB in gw19 for 14.0m?

                Johnstone/Alioski/Soucek
                Fabiasnski/4.5/4.4

                Are some of the options in the price range.

                  Johnstone / Balbuena / Soucek
