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).

    Is it worth bringing Cancelo in now with a view to BB in 19? If be annoyed if he didn't play that week but of he does then it's a good fixture

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

      For who though?

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

        Would be Targett who has served me well but has some tougher games and no double anyway. Everton this week don't really worry me too much as far as attacking threat anyway and Cancelo is probably fun to watch it you have him.

        Rest of the defence is Robbo, Dier, Dallas and Coufal so if he gets rotated there's cover

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

      I'd rather own Dias. Cancelo has served me well but benchings like the BUR game still hurt

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

      City fixtures not so good in GW 16 and 17, so would go A nailed defender from other team

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

      no, his next two aren't the best anyway

    5. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Why not bring him in?

      He's started 10 of the last 11 games. That doesn't scream rotation risk to me. And, his creativity is off the charts - especially in comparison to Dias

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

    Should I get Wood on WC now and then do Wood to Antonio (if he is fit) in DGW19 for free!?

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Getting Wood on a WC sounds messy.

    2. onceuponatyne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I'm on both currently, but I think Antonio may make an appearance today, he should be fit for DGW19. If you already know you'd rather have Antonio, get him and sub out if needed by then.

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

        Good point!

    3. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah, apart from Bamford Wood looks like the best buy in this bracker right now

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

      Cheers everyone

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

    As a Bamford owner, would be bad news if Burnley score first today. They love clinging on to those 1-0 wins.

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Burnley will just hoof it up field when Leeds do the high press. I expect Leeds to pen Burnley back in their own half for much of the game.

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Don’t see it today. Leeds will be too clever going forward imo

    3. Sanchit
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I personally expect Leeds to thrash Burnley.
      Can't really see Burnley playing through the press

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

    Thoughts on getting TAA along Robo?

    Worth it?

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe. I like James as an alternative and cheaper option though.

    2. AC Yew
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Personally i would stick to one. Depends on team structure and balance though and plan for GW18+19

    3. Sanchit
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Definitely.
      It's how you look at it.
      I feel he's better than any under 8m forward asset

  5. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I capped Salah. I have 9 captain fails so far. Don't get your hopes up too much..

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

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

      I have 12 excelent captain GWs, so dont you are safe now

    3. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      My captain hasn't blanked since GW3, you'll be fine.

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

        What's the definition of a blank?
        Did you consider KdB 4 points as not a blank?

    4. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Doesn't really matter what he does

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

        It does! A lot.
        EO is around 140%, mine is 200%

    5. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      You be safe from now big hauls inc.

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

    Am I the only person captaining Salah away to Newcastle?

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No I will be.

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

      Thanks for letting us know. I won't be doing Salah(c) now.

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

        Okay but in the past few weeks I'm doing okay and I should be able to get another high finish end of season

        1. Botman and Robben
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          What is your OR right now? And what do you consider high end finish?

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

                • 8 Years

                Multiple = 2 or more, so he's corrext

                1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …

    4. Fudgy
      • 4 Years

      I thought everyone was getting Kane or son and capping them

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

      Spurs vs Fulham

      1. Fudgy
        • 4 Years

        Newcastle Vs Liverpool

    6. jomikijiq

      same here

    7. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years

      I'm currently going with Salah too.

  7. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    2 FT, 0.7 ITB

    Martinez ¦ Forster
    Coufal Taylor Holding
    Salah KdB Bruno Grealish Soucek
    Vardy Watkins
    ¦ Wilson Ayling Lascelles

    Don't want to waste a transfer, help maybe?
    No chips in 18/19 for me.

  8. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Is the consensus that Vardy will be rested for the goal fest against Palace tomorrow?

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Rogers said as much.

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

        He said there's a chance. He only has iheanashite as back up so I think Vardy will at least feature

      2. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        He did not say that. He said they can afford to rest Vardy and Tielemans if necessary....

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

      No chance I think. Leicester can't afford to lose points

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

      Yes I reckon, or short minutes

  9. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Which mid to get up to 7.9M? 1FT. 1.2M ITB.

    Adams + KDB -> Kane + ?

    Martinez
    Dallas Coufal Matip
    KDB Bruno Salah Son
    Bamford Adams DCL

    Steer Bednarek Taylor Bissouma

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

      Wouldnt lose Adams now you got him ready for the DGW.

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

      Raphinha is a bargain

    3. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Adams is useless cant score open goal

  10. thegaffer82
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    If someone hadn't watched the Villa and City games yesterday, then you might be forgiven for looking at Cancelo (7) and Grealish (3) and thinking it was an acceptable score for those two players combined.

    But in truth, 20 points combined for those two would have been less than was deserved. 10 points combined is an absolute travesty.

    Sterling and Olie Watkins in particular should be feeling disgusted with themselves this morning for their profligacy in those games.

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      That’s life.

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

      Sterling is horrendous. I despise that man.

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

      Ok

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

      As a Grealish + Watkins owner I want my 20 xG points converted into FPL points ASAP

    5. Tcheco
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Grealish (2)* 🙁

      Agreed though & this is why Grealish in particular is a long term pick. Very involved. If only rotation risk wasn't;t an issue for Cancelo..

      1. thegaffer82
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Cancelo started 10 of the last 11 games.

        This rotation risk narrative is a myth I'm afraid.

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

          Because of first injury to walker then covid

          1. thegaffer82
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            According to you? Or did Pep say that?

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

          He sat out Burnley at home & that's enough to be considered a rotation risk

          1. thegaffer82
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Fair enough, so is Salah & Bruno then as they both sat out one game too

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

            This is relative to Dias for example, who I also own & has started every game since coming in.

            Wouldn't be surprised if he's given the odd game off but as of now he has been more assured of starts

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

        He seems to have 2 players stuck to him now though. Hope that stops him a little as i have just sold him on wc.. not sure this will be my best ever move

    6. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Hardly a surprise though is it. Grealish created loads last season too.

      And both teams still won so it doesn't mean a thing.

      1. thegaffer82
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        'doesn't mean a thing'

        Pardon 😉

        This is a fantasy football website. Not a Villa forum

    Any sightings of Coufal today?

    1. Fudgy
      • 4 Years

      Was spotted at home breastfeeding his baby

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Not yet but when he walks on the pitch and plays there will be.

        Hopefully.

      2. Tcheco

        What a sight that would be. The goal not the sucking of course

  12. Drogo
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    How is this plan for GW 16 - 19?

    Play WC now (GW 16)

    Johnson McCarthy
    Ayling - Furlong - Dallas - Bednarek - Justin
    Salah - Son - Barnes - McTominay - Bruno
    Abraham - Bamford - Kane

    0.0 in bank.

    Save 2 transfers for GW 19 OR play FH on GW 18

    Kane and Son -> Vardy + DGW player.
    Play BB on GW19 with 15 DGW players.

    Tommy is a little weak I know, but so is my budget.
    Thoughts?

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

      You won't have 2 transfers in gw19 if you play you're FH in gw18

      1. Drogo
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yes, I wrote OR.

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

          Sorry didn't see that. I'm FH in 18 and BB in 19 myself with 12 double game players and 3 single playing players then ill get the team back ( team is Below ) in gw 20

  13. Shineonme
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Transfer Kane or Son in for gw16 have 3.6itb.
    Can either do Grealish to son with money itb or DLC to Kane with 0.0 itb
    What do you reckon guys and girls?

    Couful/ Dallas/ Balbuena/ Justin/ benerak/
    Salah/ KDB/ Bruno/ ( Grealish) Bissouma/
    ( DLC ) Wilson/ Adams

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

      Grealish to Son.
      Purely because of captaincy.
      Gw16 Salah is a great option.
      GW17 against Leeds , son is a better option than Kane

  14. Pacer.
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Really fancy those potshotters like dallas, harrison or raphina to get something today. We know what Burnley are going to do and Leeds are going to batter that goal from outside the area

      Pope - 15

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

        I fancy him to concede but still rack up 5+

    2. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years

      Hope so for Dallas.
      Nice Grav btw, brilliant band & album.

    How’s this looking for the double??

    Johnstone, mcarthy
    Robertson, coufal, Dallas, kwp, Taylor
    Bruno, Salah, son, raphinha, soucek
    Kane, bamford, wood

    Bench boost will be played

    Any major changes or people I need to get in?

    Thanks

    Seems like most will FH GW 18 and BB GW 19, right?

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

      Many will, or TC gw18

    2. Davros

    3. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      yes

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

      Yes. Mainly because it is a rare occasion where the BGW and the DGW are completely correlated. If you blank in GW18, then you double in GW19.

      Means that you can max out 15 DGW players by GW17, FH in GW18 and have 15 DGW in GW19. This means:

      GW18 = 11 players
      GW19 = 15 players x 2 = 30 players

      41 players is massive.

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

        But I can only make to get 10-11 DGW players by then without A hit

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

          Even then it can be worth the BB. If you have SGW players like Kane, Dias, Cancelo etc.

  17. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years

    Which one would you have alongside Salah on WC?

    A. Robbo
    B. Firmino

    Pope to lose his clean sheet and still manage baps and save points today?

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

      Save points yes.
      Baps depends on who gets the goals for leeds

  19. Burger_and_Chips
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I've got enough funds to take DCL out and bring Vardy in with my 1FT?

    Will play my free hit on Vardy's blank GW and I'll have him for the DGW.

    Yes or no?

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

      Are you sure Vardy plays this GW?

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

      Can you bring kane in instead ?

  20. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Am torn between thinking Leeds will destroy Burnley with that passing and relentless attack or that Burnley will continue their form with Chris Wood smashing a hat-trick off set pieces. Probably the former

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Both

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

      Think whatever happens bamford won't be the winner today. He won't get many chances and likely won't get what he takes

  21. n-doggg
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Planning for DGW on WC

    Would you rather:

    A. Robbo/TAA and Rashford
    B. James/Justin and Mane

  22. dansmusen
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    For only -4 over next weeks i can get this team for BB DGW
    Pickford - Fabianski
    Robertson - Zouma - Dallas - Justin - Bednarek
    Salah (C) - Son - Fernandes - Soucek - Lookman
    Bamford - Firminio - Adams
    Looks good ??

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

      So you're basically using your bench boost on
      Soucek
      Lookman ( would be surprised if Fulham score once in those 2 fixtures)
      Bednarek ( lei and Leeds, won't expect a cs in any of those)

      I'd suggest not to go for these players just because they're playing twice.

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

        Lookman and Bednarek in my team already so not looking at it that way. My extra BB would be Fabianski/Firminio/Soucke/Adams

  23. Jonesfromthere
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Looking at KDB's returns and Mane's returns really have been poor

    1. Jonesfromthere
      • 11 Years

      *kdb replacements

      Pieters OOP

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

        Let's hope he has a good game. 4.3m

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

      Dallas ticked
      Bamford ticked

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

      Doesn't exactly look like Burnley will be going for it.

    4. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No surprises

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

      Chances of Struijk nailing down that spot? When is Cooper returning?

      1. FPL.team
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Unlikely now Llorente is back in training. It's good news for Alioski though.

  25. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Just watched highlights of villa game. Watkins should have have 22 points. Gutted only got 11.

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

      If you captained him he got 22

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

      He is a poor player. If that was even a marginally better player like Welbeck they would have hauled big time.

    3. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, watched it last night on MOTD in disbelief and then to top it off no bonus for his three assists!

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

      He is utter garbage that's why

  26. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Any chance of Leeds rotation or is he going to play this side 90% of times?

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

      he does not rotate

  27. FootieFan77
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    With so much uncertainty still for GW26 and 29 it seems sensible to Free Hit in GW18 and Bench Boost in GW19.

    This year a Man City Defender seems more beneficial than a Man City attacker.

  28. FPLMACKEM
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    McCarthy
    Coufal, Robertson, Cancelo, Targett
    Salah (C), KDB, Bruno, Grealish
    Adams, Bamford

    Forster, Lookman, Brewster, Lewis

    2.3 itb 2ft

    The obvious move is Grealish to son.

    Any other suggestions? Or just Grealish to son?

    1. aleksaa2
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      We have the exact same team, except you have Robbo and I have DCL, I also have 2.3 itb and been thinking about the same transfer... Are we the same person lol?

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

        Lol how odd.

        Since we have a lot in common what's your plans with Grealish and KDB? You looking to get son/ Kane in?

  29. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Thinking of going without chips in 18/19

    Martinez ¦ Forster
    Coufal Taylor Holding
    Salah KdB Bruno Grealish* Soucek
    Vardy* Watkins
    ¦ Wilson Ayling Lascelles

    2 FT, 0.7 ITB

    Vardy, Grealish -> Kane, Saka
    Makes sense?

    1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Nice team, what are you going to do with KDB ?

  30. R.C
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Arghhh should've started Struijk instead of James
