Fantasy Premier League managers have another FREE chance at winning £10,000 with Fantasy5 in Blank Gameweek 18.

Even though there is a reduced fixture list, you can still have a stab at picking the correct five key players and claim the prize.

In Fantasy5, all you have to do is select one player from each of their five nominated matches of the upcoming Gameweek. If all of your players score more points than their respective Fantasy5 ‘points targets’, then you win.

And there is no reason why you cannot take home all that cash in Blank Gameweek 18 with some favourable fixtures midweek.

Fantasy5 is accessible for Fantasy managers as it follows the exact same scoring system as FPL apart from bonus points.

For the more detailed lowdown, head here.

The competition is limited to one entry per person per round and you have to get your submissions in before kick-off in the first eligible match.

If two or more entrants correctly select five players who all score more than their points target, then the prize pot is split among all winners.

BLANK GAMEWEEK 18 FIXTURES

The five matches in this round are:

  • Sheffield United v Newcastle United
  • Wolves v Everton
  • Burnley v Manchester United
  • Manchester City v Brighton and Hove Albion
  • Arsenal v Crystal Palace

The deadline is at 18:00 GMT on Tuesday, January 12.

SCOUT’S BLANK GAMEWEEK 18 PICKS

Matt Ritchie (4.5) is my chosen representative from Newcastle’s trip to Sheffield United.

While Callum Wilson feels like an obvious choice, there is greater scope for his former Bournemouth colleague to creep above his predicted points threshold.

No player set to feature in Bramall Lane’s Tuesday-night clash has created more chances in their last four matches than Ritchie (eight), who faces a Blades outfit still without a clean sheet this season.

Romain Saïss (6.5) is an easy choice for me. He only needs to add to his impressive goal-scoring tally this season (and avoid conceding a hatful and/or getting booked) and he will have beaten Fantasy5‘s predicted points.

The Wolves man is top among all defenders for shots in the box over the last four matches, yielding two goals. In Blank Gameweek 18, he faces an Everton side that ranks inside the bottom four for headed attempts since Gameweek 14.

Marcus Rashford (8.5) will need two attacking returns to surpass his predicted points against Burnley but I think he stands a good chance of doing that.

The latest injury update on Paul Pogba suggests Rashford will return to the left-hand side of Manchester United’s attack on Tuesday night – bad news for Burnley. Over the last four matches, they have given up 18 chances down their right flank, the second-worst in the Premier League over the same period.

Meanwhile, Rashford is as much of an away-day specialist as Fernandes this season. Both of his double-digit hauls in 2020/21 have come on the road, where he is yet to blank after the first 17 Gameweeks and averages 8.4 FPL points per game thus far.

Ilkay Gündogan‘s (7.5) more advanced role in recent matches elevates his Fantasy appeal for Gameweek 18.

In the last four matches, he ranks third among Manchester City players for key passes but has outperformed both Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling for shots in the box, big chances and shots on target.

Kieran Tierney‘s (6.5) marauding attitude can help him exceed his predicted points for Gameweek 18 when Crystal Palace come to the Emirates Stadium.

Outside their 5-1 win at West Bromwich Albion in Gameweek 11, the Eagles have scored just six goals in seven away matches this season while Tierney has created more chances than any other Arsenal player since Gameweek 15.

LUKE’S BLANK GAMEWEEK 18 PICKS

  • Roman Saiss (6.5): The Wolves centre-back is one of the biggest set-piece threats with his nine shots on goal in the last four matches and seven in the box, top among all defenders in both categories. A clean sheet and a goal would conformably see him surpass the required 6.5 points.
  • Bruno Fernandes (9.5): In order to beat the 9.5 points threshold, attacking picks will need to register in excess of two attacking returns; this is also true of all the picks 7.5 and above though so why not go for the man who specialises in double-digit hauls? With penalties and set pieces, Fernandes has become one of the most reliable Fantasy assets in recent history. No brainer for me.
  • Joao Cancelo (6.5): The Manchester City full-back has become an established fixture in Pep Guardiola’s squad recently, having started 11 of the last 12 Premier League games. City are the bookies’ favourite for a clean sheet in Gameweek 18 against a goal-shy Brighton outfit. Meanwhile, Cancelo has the highest xGI per 90 of any regularly starting defender this season. 
  • Callum Wilson (6.5): A match that appears deprived of Fantasy options on paper means I’m playing “safe” with Callum Wilson. The talismanic forward has been involved with 71% of Newcastle’s goals when on the pitch and even during sub-par performances, he has penalties to fall back on. 
  • Kieran Tierney (6.5): Arsenal’s left-back will need an attacking return and a clean sheet to hit his quota but right now it looks very achievable. Arsenal have back-to-back shut-outs and Tierney looks a real threat having recorded a goal and assist in Gameweek 17.

    Thanks for the advice all.

    Which do you prefer from

    A) Stones in a 442
    B) Foden in 343

    1. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'd rather punt on Foden.

    2. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Easy A

    3. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B. It's a FH, try and target the big hauls - which Foden is very capable of and worth the gamble.

    With lots of cup games now out of the way, what (if anything) are you taking from what we've seen?

    Did anyone return to fitness or form that you're interested in? Were there any benchings that surprised you? Was anyone rested which gives you confidence for GW18 or beyond?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      ake and Laporte injured gives me confidence for 18 and beyond that Dias and stones are nailed for the time being

        Here I am with no City defence.. but FH will change that. I fancy Dias this week

      I think Wolves might wake up - first clean sheet, Traore goal.

          Boly back surely soon though right?

          I think Neto looks incredible every time I see him play so likely gonna go for him. Already one of the best value in the game and possibly has a higher ceiling.

      2. asquishypotato

        Tempted by Traore for a one week punt

    4. Detweiler
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Digne and the rest of the Everton supporting cast fit again is good for DCL

    5. The Rumour Mill
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I think generally speaking having the FA Cup third round around the winter break helped PL sides and they generally played stronger lineups than they have done in recent years. However, I wonder whether this will continue in round 4 as this will be played at a much more congested time.

      I think Klopp recognised his team needed to try and play their way into form, hence the strong lineup against Villa, they did manage 4 goals but only once Villa's youngsters tired, I'm still not convinced Liverpool are firing on all cylinders and the captaincy in GW19 on Salah is not assured at all.

      I also watched the Blackpool - WBA game, WBA were outplayed by league 1 opponents. When Sam joins there is normally a dip before it gets better and we are firmly in that dip now. I'd avoid any investment in WBA until we start to see that upturn, the Liverpool game was a false dawn. In terms of players Ajayi was the target of every set piece so when WBA do improve he might not be a bad shout.

      Arsenal's second choice players (willian, pepe etc) did not impress at all against Newcastle, in fact Newcastle should have won in normal time. Once the recently impressing first choice players (ESR, Laca, etc) came on, they looked a lot better and eased clear. I think those looking to Arsenal players for GW18 can have confidence in picking aany of: Leno, Tierney, Holding, ESR, Saka, Auba or Lacazette.Just on Newcastle, Clarke played very well and Andy Carroll looked fitter than I've seen him for years, he played well and is such a unique option for Newcastle.

      At City, Pep played Diaz and Stones and Cancelo 45 mins each while Walker and Mendy got 90. Its a fools errand trying to predict Pep but if I had to guess I would say this bodes well for the guys playing 45, I think Walker and Mendy needed the minutes for fitness. Jesus played 75 mins which is good and Aguero is out Wednesday so anyone looking to punt on City attack could go for Jesus. Sterling and Torres wasn't fit for the game which should alert people on FH. It might make Foden or Mahrez more of an option too.

      Brighton ended up going toe to toe in a slug fest with Newport County which was a fantastic game, although I'd quite frankly be alarmed if I was a brighton fan. Their Keeper Steele put in one of the most memorable goalkeeping displays I can remember, being absolutely dreadful in normal time, flapping at everything, causing an own goal, but then being absolutely brilliant at saving penalties in the shootout. I'd captain KDB against this lot.

    What on earth is going on?
    Spurs vs Villa might be cancelled but Spurs vs Fulham might on in GW18?

    Obviously a bit out the loop...

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Adaptability.

    2. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years

      KANE (C) IS GOING ON!!

  5. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Tricky decision RE Kane if not playing a chip over 18/19. FUL is obviously a great fixture, but it likely means losing Salah.

  6. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    If it's finally Tottenham facing Fulham then Kane(C) > KDB(C) imo, cause I think Areola has covid

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Sauce?

      1. Shark Team
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        " I think " means I made the conclusion cause I didn't saw him in the FA cup squad, the fixture source is the athletic

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

          Fair enough you've given the genuine reason for your thoughts. More than most 😀

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

          Rodak is really good too. Think Parker was just giving him a game.

    2. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It's the Kane or Son question again

    3. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nah, I think KDB is THE ONE. Brighton is absolute shambles and MCI clearly picking up pace....

      What are your strategies for navigating increasing postponements?

    3. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      My question is: how many players are enough to not use a FH in gmwk18?
      Second question: is it crazy to go without a chip in 19?
      Thanks all and GL

      1. daitheboot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Second this... can get 9 with -8?

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

      All the talk will be on the spurs game naturally - could we have a city chat (I imagine we will!)

      Cancelo/Dias and KDB seem a lock for a lot, but who would be the third?

      Aguero maybe isolating, Sterling with a rumoured match fitness issue, and other players not guaranteed, what are the thoughts on the third a lot?

    5. DeadStarComing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      What chips (if any) do you still have confidence to play at this time? I'm thinking more DGW19 here but most people need to prepare in some way for that now. Are you still going to play either a triple captain or bench boost despite the obvious concern of players missing out through Covid or worse still - games being postponed?

    6. seanmcging
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I did have 9 out before the recent news, but losing Martinez & DCL, plus the the risk of Pieters & Burke it potentially leaves me with 5. I guess a FH is the only option now?

    7. Too Mane Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I think many of us were hoping for Spurs to blank in GW18 for the sake of making the Free Hit more interesting/fun/differential.

      Sadly it’s as simple as this...

      Spurs double up, or even triple up, for a Free Hit BGW18?

    8. daitheboot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Any change in tactics following today's fixture ammendment?

    9. Rishi Sehgal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If you can get 8 players to play using FT is it still viable to use your FH?

    10. Gav's Gunners
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      How many hits is too much?

      I'm leaning to WC now with BB19 in mind and include some single gameweekers (Tierney/Saka/Laca/Wilson) but would want them gone GW19 or i can FH this week and go into DGW19 with my original team, but no doubt would end up giving in to the temptation to take several amount of hits to BB19.

  8. Totalfootball
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is Craig Dawson a good option from west ham ?

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

      Seems to have taken Balbuena's place and has been a decent fantasy asset over the years

    2. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Tempted to get him for balbuena for gw19, those plans can easily change however!

    3. Too Mane Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Looks like he’s played his way into the first eleven.

      He’s always been brilliant in the air so ever chance he could roll back the years with a headed goal or two if he stays in the team.

    Cancelo,AWB,Tierney

    GTG for GW 18?

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

    Best moves here?

    A) Targett & Martinelli -> Stones & Smith-Rowe
    - gives me 10 starters for GW18 and 9 DGWers + Bellerin/Son for GW19 (no hits)

    B) Salah & Watkins -> Foden & Kane(c)
    - gives me a better 10 starters and captain for GW18 but no Salah and only 8 DGWers + Bellerin/Son/Kane for GW19 (no hits)

    Cancelo, Dier, Bellerin, Mitchell
    KDB, Bruno, Son
    Wilson

    Subs: McCarthy, Forster, Targett, Salah, Martinelli, Bamford, Watkins
    Bank: 0.0m, 2FTs

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You already have a GW18 captain...

      Don't think Martinelli starts so get rid. I'd say A is best.

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        KDB/Bruno are great options, but a rested Kane at home to an unprepared FUL looks slightly better. No Salah for the DGW is the big sacrifice. Martinelli is likely injured also.

    2. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You can't count Foden as part of the DGW

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        He's in the good books and the goals at the moment - think he'll start at least 1 and get minutes in both.

        1. ivantys
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Too many options right now, no way he's gonna play a lot. He's competing with so many for that 1 slot.

      2. NETFLIX & CHILWELL
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Foden won't play both DGW games.

  11. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    How are the latest Spurs vs Fulham FH drafts looking like? Might need to start stepping it up, only a day left.

    1. Von Lipwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I think Dier/Son/Kane is a great triple (Regulion not worth the rotation risk for 0.6m more than Dier imo)

  12. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    And another. Sorry, thank you for the opinions: Not sure what to think about Digne vs WOL

    A) Digne + Foden
    B) Stones + Wilson

      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A.

      I don't like double City defense. It's too safe and you can buy cheaper clean sheets. Digne might not be the best pick but the idea is right.

      1. Von Lipwig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Not sure where else I'd spend the money tbh, hence Digne. Thanks

        1. Von Lipwig
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Digne could be Saiss and upgrade the bench...

      2. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        cheaper than stones?

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

      B, no brainer between Foden and Wilson.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah I prefer Foden by a lot haha.

        Wilson an injury doubt and Newcastle are bad. Foden has great form, is in favor, and is a powerful differential capable of double digits.

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Wilson is injury doubt ?

        2. Von Lipwig
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I think Ivantys thinks the exact opposite to you. I love how divided everything is 🙂

        3. ivantys
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I'm quite scared not owning Wilson vs Sheffield as he is capable of double digits as well. I like the Digne pick too he has the potential to haul big.

    Looking for a under 4.8 def who is not Holding to navigate the BGW and the DGW

    Was thinking Coleman, thoughts? Or is there anyone else?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Everton don't have a DGW?

      Lindelof and Shaw probably for me. Wait on Ole's presser which should be today to see who's fit.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        This. Hopefully one of them is fit to play

      2. R.C
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Lindelof and Shaw may not play the DGW.

        Liverpool game in the DGW is hardly a double.

            Wait for Ole's presser. Also, I wouldn't fear this Liverpool game that much. They are really out of rhythm. I can absolutely see this being a 0-0 or a cagey game.

          i think solkjaer is doing ferguson tactics on this pal..ferguson used to always say he had injured players before games with liverpool and they would always play

    On wildcard.

    Thoughts about Areola as a bgw / dgw bb gk?

    Not expecting cs but should get decent ammount of save points per game.

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

      Fulham pretty solid now, problem is can't score.

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yup

  15. R.C
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Any news on McCarthy?

    Forster best 4.0 2nd GK if on WC?

    1. Sarri-ball
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      For me yes. Who your other keeper?

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Martinez

  16. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    You know what'd be a real kick in the spuds for the DGW? Forster starting 1 and McCarthy starting the other.

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

      Now you have said it out loud it will happen

    2. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Would be amazing if Forster played both

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Then keeps 2 CSs and becomes first choice XD

    3. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If you have McCarthy then surely you should have Forster as well?

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Exactly why it would be a kick in the spuds! You'd only get one game.

  17. Tonyawesome69

    Looks like Spurs will play in GW18 regardless on if it Villa or Fulham
    Plan to now keep the FH and do Robbo to Stones (-4) leaving me with 7 players.
    Is this enough without having to use FH or take another hit?

    0FT 3.3itb (after -4 trasnfer)
    Holding Cancelo Stones
    Son Bruno KDB
    Kane

    Non-GW18 players

    1. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes great

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks, any thoughts on the proposal to bring in a Utd def for another hit?

        Also LiveFPL site is brilliant, keep up the good work!

        1. Ragabolly
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I would be very tempted to take another hit yes. I am actually in a very similar situation to you and I think I will take both hits

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            With only 5 players , looks like you will have to take 2-3 hits if you want to save the FH. What transfers do you have in mind?

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I could do Balbuena to Shaw or Lindelof to cover 18 and 19. This will leave enough funds to do Son to Salah in 19

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'd probably look at Balbuena > United defender as well this week. He looks like he's out of the WHU team. Then yes, I would hold. 8 good players is what I'd want to save the FH.

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheer my original plan was to save the FH with 8 players including Martinez. Any preference between Shaw and Lindelof (can only afford those two to keep the option of Son to salah)? Shaw is a rotation risk but posting great stats and the other has a on/off back injury

  18. b91jh
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Gonna have some midprice punt on FH. Which would u take?

    A) Digne
    B) Gundogan
    C) Almiron
    D) Telles

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

      Digne

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure on Gundo with Jesus back now. I would suggest Digne but I didn't see the Everton game at the weekend.

  19. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Do you think Wilson will start V SHU?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Probably. 80%

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

      Some training pictures might give a better idea.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      The last info I read was that he travelled to the Arsenal game but did no start as a precaution. Probably above 50%, keep an eye on any news

    4. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        "With all the problems we've got, we left a few at home and hopefully they'll be ready for Tuesday and we can freshen up the team."

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years

          Thanks all, he’s quite an important cog in my wc team

  20. tibollom
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    guys, if I make two transfers now for next week in mind, can i play my FH for this week?

    1. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      When you play your FH, your next squad reverts back to your previous squad. No transfers stick.

    2. Good Times
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      The freehit will bring back the team which was set last gw transfers won't matter

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You can play the FH but in the following GW your team will revert back to the previous GW i.e. before the two transfers as the FH negates those transfers.

    4. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Your 2 transfers will be meaningless. The same team from last gw will return.

      1. tibollom
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        thanks alot guys, what to do here then? wanted to do FH for this one and load up on DGW after

        McCarthy button
        Ctaylor robbo dallas balbuena ferguson
        salah son bruno soucek raphina
        kane dcl bam

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

      You can play FH but your transfers will vanish

  21. Good Times
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Don't have a freehit. Should spurs have a fixture should I move Raphinha for Gundogan to get the extra fixture or hold for the additional ft next week. Thanks.

    1. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Depends how many you have playing for this week.

      1. Good Times
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Got leno
        Rob dier dias
        Son Bruno
        Kane dcl
        Lewis on bench

        1. sunzip14
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I would get Gundogan since you do not have KDB as well. Would consider getting KDB if the one you are keeping on the bench is Salah!

          1. Good Times
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah looking to sell Kane depending on spurs fixtures and get Kdb in a week of so

          2. Good Times
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Can't sell Salah he is too explosive and can. Turn any time

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

      Gundo

  22. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Steve Bruce: "It's been a particularly difficult period in terms of the games but I've seen positives."

    Bad choice of words during the pandemic.

  23. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kane captain if Fulham game is on?

    1. Good Times
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Aye!

    2. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    3. h3nh3n
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      if he plays the villa U12s then yes, if he plays Fulham, then maybe

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

      Still prefer KDB or Bruno

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        KDB got just assist in the FA cup against a low league team in a 3:0. If Kane plays in a 3:0 win no chance he gets away with assist only

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

      Fulham played a strong squad and the tie went to 120, while Son and Kane were rested...!

    6. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nah, KDB still the best captain for GW18 imo. Fulham have tightened up the def and Brighton played 90mins plus ET.

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Plus they´re a shambles

    7. Jimmy Boy
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Tbf not many players have really hauled against Fulham recently, suppose you could count Salah and De Bruyne but they both scored penalties so you might end up relying on Spurs to get one.

  24. Pranav Santhosh
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Does anyone know what gameweek spurs Fulham was originally scheduled for?

    1. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      16

  25. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    The more I look the more I like.

    DDG
    Cancelo Tierney Stones
    Son Rash Bruno KDB Smithrowe
    Laca Martial
    (4.0, Brewster, Kilman, Mitchell)

    Not too sure on double Newcastle and Cavani atm. Spurs postponement would make things a lot easier tbh. Any thoughts welcome and a little discussion

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      DDG should be darlow :!

    2. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Burnley conceded just 3 in 6 games.

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You have Martial, not Cavani?

      I'd just avoid both tbh. I think it's a toss-up who starts because of the Liverpool game at the weekend.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        True... Martial just rested in fa cup though. Will probs go Kane tbh if spurs looks like it’s going ahead

  26. dshv
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    For this who hit the WC on gw16

    Still thr plan is fh18 bb19. ??

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yup

  27. R.C
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Really hoping Spurs v Villa goes ahead

    1. h3nh3n
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      yep, then Kane/son can get ez hauls

    2. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      They will 5-0 the villa u23s

      1. popey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        it wouldn't be the u18 team again - it would be the players in frst team that are negative

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      fishing ?

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

      Prefer Spurs vs Fulham myself.

    5. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Same. If only to keep things interesting and not have to play the generic FH. Had planned no chip this week, would be much more fun if I can keep it that way.

  28. The Knights Template
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who would you pick for gw18?
    A) Lacazette
    B) Rashford

    1. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ideally both but if not possible I would go A. The man is on fire right now.

    3. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      The best a man can get

  29. Dele
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    If I have no City and 3 Villa players would you free hit or wildcard this week?

    Down to only Bruno if Spurs don’t get a game.

    1. Cojones of Destiny
