Frisking the Fixtures

Who has the best and worst upcoming FPL fixtures?

Our frisk of the fixtures sees us assess the Premier League clubs with the strongest and weakest runs of league matches – in theory, at least.

In this article, we’ll extend our usual six-Gameweek lookahead and instead cast our eyes a little further until the end of the 2020/21 season.



There are still a few unknowns with the schedule, with two previously postponed matches remaining outstanding: Southampton v Crystal Palace and Aston Villa v Everton.

There’s also the prospect of a calendar rejig to accommodate returning spectators at the end of the season, something we expanded on in a dedicated article here.

For now, these are the landmark Gameweeks for the run-in:

  • Gameweek 32 will see Tottenham Hotspur play twice, with Crystal Palace blanking.
  • Gameweek 33 will see Spurs, Manchester City, Southampton and Fulham all blank, thanks to the clash with the EFL Cup final.

We’re entering into the realms of conjecture for everything beyond April:

  • Gameweek 37 would likely be a small Double Gameweek if there are no changes to the calendar, absorbing Southampton v Palace and Villa v Everton.
  • If the deadlines do shift, up to eight teams could potentially have a double in Gameweek 35 and up to four teams could potentially have a blank in Gameweek 36.

THE STRONG

LIVERPOOL

Remaining fixtures: lee | NEW | mun | SOU | wba| bur | CRY

Liverpool tick a lot of boxes in the season run-in.

An upturn in form? Check. “Something to play for”? Check. No other distractions outside of the Premier League? Check, following their midweek exit from Europe.

Added to that, they sit top of our Season Ticker for ease of fixture from Gameweeks 32-38.

Among their seven remaining games are matches against mid-table sides with little meaningful left to fight for (Crystal Palace and Southampton) and teams currently scrapping to avoid relegation whose fate may already be decided by the time Gameweeks 36 and 37 roll around (West Brom and Burnley).

An away clash with Leeds United in Gameweek 32 is one of their trickier tests, with the Whites looking more defensively sound of late having conceded just seven goals in their last eight outings.

But the Gameweek 34 trip to Old Trafford couldn’t have been timed better, as Manchester United look set to be in a two-legged Europa League semi-final either side of it.

And in Gameweek 33, when our premium Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City assets are blanking, a home match against a Newcastle United side who have kept a joint-low two Premier League clean sheets in 2021 is prime captaincy material.

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS AND LEICESTER CITY

Wolves’ remaining fixtures: SHU | BUR | wba | BHA | tot | eve | MUN
Leicester’s remaining fixtures: WBA | CRY | sou | NEW | mun | che | TOT

We have grouped these two teams together as their schedules are markedly similar.

Both sides have excellent runs from Gameweeks 32-35, each enjoying four games – three of which are at home – against teams all currently in the bottom half of the table.

And the two clubs both suffer negative fixture swings in the final three Gameweeks, with a triple-header of matches against Champions League-chasing opposition.

Sheffield United, Burnley, West Bromwich Albion, Crystal Palace, Southampton and Newcastle United are all in the bottom six for goals conceded in 2021, although a resurgent Baggies may present a stiffer test than they would have a couple of months ago.

Wolves’ results over this period may depend much on their own motivation, something widely discussed at this time of year and a subject covered in Deulofail’s recent Hot Topic.

A 1-0 win at Fulham, a team with plenty “to play for”, was at least a promising start to those targeting Conor Coady (£4.9m) and co for this excellent run.

ARSENAL

Remaining fixtures: FUL | EVE | new | WBA | che | cry | BHA

The result of Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final, second-leg tie between Arsenal and Slavia Prague could have a huge say on the appeal of the Gunners’ assets, regardless of their attractive Premier League schedule.

For starters, Mikel Arteta’s line-up in the Czech Republic may partly dictate what team he selects for the clash with Fulham on Sunday.

Should Arsenal defeat Slavia, then a two-legged semi-final tie against Dinamo Zagreb and Villarreal could cause further rotation-related disruption in Gameweeks 33, 34 and 35.

There aren’t many Gunners who will swerve a benching or two so long as they remain in the Europa League, with success in that competition representing their best chance of qualifying for next season’s Champions League.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

Remaining fixtures: eve + SOU | – | SHU| lee | WOL | AVL | lei

No frisk of the remaining fixtures would be complete without a mention of Spurs, the only team with two matches in Double Gameweek 32.

They’re decent ones, too: the Lilywhites have put nine goals past Everton and Southampton in their two most recent meetings, although it’d be difficult to see Jose Mourinho’s hot-and-cold Lilywhites replicating those results based on their recent form.

The match with Ralph Hasenhuttl’s beleaguered troops particularly appeals as the Saints have shipped 11 more goals than any other club from Gameweek 19 onwards, a run that includes 12 concessions in their last four games.

The problematic element is the fact the clash with Southampton falls a few days before the EFL Cup final, which in turn causes the Lilywhites a Blank Gameweek 33.

We’ll almost certainly want Harry Kane (£11.7m) and Son Heung-min (£9.4m) straight back, as a meeting with whipping boys Sheffield United awaits in Gameweek 34.

Three comfortably mid-table clubs then follow, for subscribers of the ‘on the beach’ theory.

WEST HAM UNITED

Remaining fixtures: new | CHE | bur | EVE | bha | wba | SOU

Having racked up 82 points in his first 10 appearances since his loan move to east London, Jesse Lingard (£6.5m) will be a staple of many FPL squads, regardless of fixtures.

But favourable opposition is always welcome and in Newcastle, Burnley and Southampton, he and his Champions League-chasing West Ham side face three teams who have managed just one clean sheet each in the last seven Gameweeks.

The hope from a Hammers perspective is perhaps that, by the time we reach Gameweek 36, the destinies of a resurgent Brighton and West Brom will be settled – those two sides have the joint-third-best defensive record in their last 10 matches, with nine goals conceded apiece.

ALSO CONSIDER

We’ll be back with another look at the calendar in a fortnight’s time, by which time you can expect to see Leeds United (LIV | MUN | bha | TOT| bur | SOU | wba) feature more prominently.

A double-header against Liverpool and Manchester United precedes a more welcoming run-in, although the Whites will fancy their chances against anyone after their Gameweek 31 success at the Etihad.

Sheffield United (wol | BHA | tot | CRY | eve | new | BUR) are second behind only Liverpool in our Season Ticker for Gameweeks 31-38, although it would take a serious about-turn in form for Fantasy managers to go anywhere near the Blades: Paul Heckingbottom’s charges have lost eight of their last nine matches, conceding 20 goals and scoring just three.

A significant Double Gameweek 35 is still a possibility but it’s worth mentioning the four teams we know will have a Double Gameweek at some point, namely Aston Villa, Everton, Crystal Palace and Southampton.

None of them have a particularly attractive run-in, however – more of which below.

THE WEAK

Southampton and Crystal Palace

Southampton’s remaining fixtures: tot | – | LEI | liv | FUL | LEE | whu (plus CRY)
Crystal Palace’s remaining fixtures: – | lei | MCI | shu | AVL | ARS | liv (plus sou)

Blanks for Southampton and Crystal Palace in the next two Gameweeks, along with some tricky tests on either side of them, ensure that the two mid-table clubs remain rooted to the bottom of our Season Ticker.

And that’s before we even get to recent results, with Southampton in the bottom two of the Premier League form table over their last eight, ten and 12 matches.

These two sides found themselves in similar ‘nothing to play for’ territory in the final quarter of 2019/20 and underscored the uncertainty that the end of the season brings: Southampton were excellent after lockdown, Palace abject.

Their future Double Gameweek may rekindle interest, especially if Palace do end up getting a Gameweek 35 double-header against two of the division’s two worst defences in Saints and Sheffield United.

FULHAM AND MANCHESTER CITY

Fulham’s remaining fixtures: ars | – | che | BUR | sou | mun | NEW
Manchester City’s remaining fixtures: avl | – | cry | CHE | new | bha | EVE

Both these sides share two things in common: they blank in Gameweek 33 and have played at least one game more than the rest of the division.

Fulham also have away matches at Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United to negotiate, although there are more favourable clashes to look forward to for both sides.

It’s less about fixture difficulty at the moment, though, for these two clubs.

The Cottagers’ form has deserted them just at the point when survival looked likely, with losses to mid-table opposition in each of their last three games denting their FPL appeal.

And for City, it’s more to do with the rotation risk that comes with them fighting on four fronts: due to their continued involvement in the FA Cup, EFL Cup and Champions League and the fact that the Premier League title is all but secured, they face more pressing issues on either side of their remaining six top-flight fixtures.

ALSO CONSIDER

Question marks over Chelsea defenders after heavy West Brom loss

The Gameweek 35 fixture swing for Chelsea (BHA | whu | FUL | mci | ARS | LEI | avl) is something to consider for those doubling up or tripling up on the Blues’ backline, although Thomas Tuchel will be hoping that European exertions will provide a welcome distraction for City and Arsenal sides with little left to play for on the domestic front.

Brighton and Hove Albion (che | shu | LEE | wol | WHU | MCI | ars) will be hoping that Premier League safety is assured by Gameweek 36, meanwhile, after a decent three-match run that precedes it.

The fine form of West Bromwich Albion (lei | avl | WOL | ars | LIV | WHU | lee) will also be put to the test between now and mid-May, with all seven of their remaining opponents in the top 12 – although, to bring us neatly back around to a recurring theme, four of their fixtures are against mid-table sides with little chance of relegation or Champions League qualification.

    How can I get a BB from this now?
    1FT, 0.1itb. Open to ideas but all I have so far is;

    A. DCL+Gundog >> Wilson/Watkins+Greenwood (-4)?
    B. DCL+Gundog >> Wood+Maddison/Mount (-4)?

    Mendy
    TAA. Shaw. Coady
    Salah. Bruno. Lingard. Jota. Gundog
    Kane. Iheanacho
    (Forster, Holding, Rudiger, DCL**)

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Or Lacazette and Saint Max (-4)? 😯

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA

      You need son for bb or lucas Moura

      For forwards i don't know what to say 🙂
      I will probably get Fabio Silva

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years

        How do I get Son?

        1. Jebiga
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          No chance to get Son except dumping TAA

  3. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I'm surprised the Villa fixtures aren't listed as weak (MCI, MUN, tot, CHE still to play). I suppose the fact they have a fixture in GW33 and a DGW to come has saved them.

  4. chudbond007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Would like to do

    Dias to Trent
    DCL to Iheanacho
    Pope to Mendy / Lloris
    maybe Mount to Maddison also?

    is 4 transfers enough to justify using a Wildcard?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Only the first two are worth it

      1. chudbond007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah, you're right - I'm trying to justify using the Wildcard - think I'll take another -4 and save the WC

    2. chudbond007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      That would leave me with:

      Martinez, Mendy
      Trent, Azpi, Holding, Coufal, Veltman
      Salah, Fernandes, Jota, Maddison/Mount, Lingard
      Kane, Nacho, Bamford

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        No son?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Who could I take out for Son? I think that midfield looks okay and to afford Son it would have to be Bruno or Salah

    3. Shayben
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      How long you saving the wildcard for?

  5. Miguel Sanchez

    Think I will go in to the GW like this, GTG? Bench order right? Alonso most likely no show.

    Martinez
    TAA Alonso Dallas
    Salah Son Greenwood Lingard
    Kane(C) Bamford Ihenacho

    Pope Raphinha Coufal Konsa

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Looks great. 3/5 defenders will likely concede but you are playing the right one of those 3

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Playing the three with the highest ceilings

    2. Von Lipwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      GTG

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Nice squad

    4. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Nice

    5. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      talk to me about greenwood, I have enough itb to go Neto to Greenwood and wonder what you see in him?

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Taking a lot of shots and reasonably creative too. Should start a lot more with Martial out now. A good burst of form could see him snatch a Euros place too.

        Ultimately I like him as an explosive differential alternative to Bruno who i've sold.

        1. dbeck
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          i'm torn, can do Neto to Greenwood or Davis (fodder) to Nacho with my 1.9m itb. The later would involve hidding neto on the bench and I also have Vardy.

          1. Miguel Sanchez
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Think Nacho is a more important player right now to have than Greeenwood. You having Vardy doesn't really change that. Neto can then become Bowen/Pereira/ASM at some stage. Hope that helps.

            1. dbeck
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              i totally agree, but i am getting strong greenwood vibes

  6. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    My hopes of BB are fading and I have a horrible feeling about not owning Son, what should I do here?

    Is Salah/Bruno >> Son crazy?

    Mendy
    TAA. Shaw. Coady
    Salah. Bruno. Lingard. Jota. Gundog
    Kane. Iheanacho
    (Forster, Holding, Rudiger, DCL**)

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Might have to go without Son

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Who would you lose from Salah and Bruno? Value tied up in Bruno

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          I've gone without Bruno - think he is seeing less influence with Pogba playing well and can be 'covered' by cheaper options like Rashford/Greenwood/Cavani though I hate that way if thinking

        2. BobB
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          I would keep both

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            And go without Son?

            1. dbeck
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              Sons stats improve when bale doesnt play and its suggested that will be the case. Soton and Everton are leaky, Soton especially down the right hand side where Son is likely to play. . I think loosing your value in Bruno and moving to Son is fine

              1. RAFA THE GAFFA
                • 7 Years
                2 years, 11 months ago

                What about Son>>Salah? And then reverse it next week? I have no value in Salah

                1. dbeck
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 6 Years
                  2 years, 11 months ago

                  I think Mo outscores Bruno this week. Its coming to the end of season run in, when does TV stop mattering?

                  1. RAFA THE GAFFA
                    • 7 Years
                    2 years, 11 months ago

                    Thanks mate. It’s not really the TV it’s more the fact I could easy buy Salah back next week. Whereas I would need to take a hit to get Bruno back? Would need to cut 0.5 elsewhere basically

    2. chudbond007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I just don't think changing your team for Son is worth it - probably come back to haunt me.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        What about losing Salah and then switching Son >> Salah next week?

  7. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Who scores the least points this gameweek only:

    A) Bruno
    B) Lingard
    C) Jota

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      C

    2. Von Lipwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      This feels impossible to call. Not Lingard I'd say, but the other one is a coin flip. My flip says Jota

      1. Cheeto__Bandito
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        why not Lingard, seems like recency bias

        1. Von Lipwig
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Newcastle always ripe to concede. I wouldn't trust them to hold off the league's form player. But recency bias is one of those things isn't it? I mean, players have good form sometimes. Lingard has form and fixture

          1. Cheeto__Bandito
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Odds say Lingard is least likely to return of these 3. But I think its close between him and Jota

            1. Von Lipwig
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              Good luck to you 🙂 The fun is all in these decisions

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years

              I'll be starting all 3 fwiw. Any thoughts on below?

                • 3 Years
                2 years, 11 months ago

                probably save with wba next for watkins and a double coming up

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        could bring Watkins right back next week even

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yay

    Is Dias to TAA worth going for on wildcard? Would need to go Phillips to Holding, and downgrade Jota to 5.7mid (Pereira, Soucek, Raphinha, etc)

    Leno Martinez
    Dias Coady Rudiger Coufal Phillips
    Salah Jota Son Bruno Lingard
    Kane Iheanacho Vydra

    1. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yes, I fear going without TAA for the last few matches. He looked very lively yesterday.

  10. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I gambled on wc - no City and lots of Pool, so yesterday went like a dream

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I left Dias on WC and went with 3 pool

  11. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Hows this provisional team looking? Right bench?

    Schmeichel
    Dias R.James Holding
    Son Greenwood Salah Jota ESR
    Nacho Kane (c)

    Martinez N.Phillips Veltman DCL

  12. Maddamotha
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Currently playing both of Bamford and Dallas. I still have my WC intact btw.
    Would you rather? :

    A) Bamford > Nacho
    B) Dallas > Shaw (or a better option?)

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      A

  13. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    A.DCL to Vardy or Lacazette for -4
    B. Start Saka

    1. BobB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Not Vardy

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      A

  14. Gudjohnsen

    Willian Jose as a differential?

    Yay or Nay?

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      nay, if you really have to go for a wolves attacker, Traore

    2. Manani
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      nay. Wolves got nothing to play for, someone like Diagne will be a better differential than someone from wolves

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Nope

      Would prefer Benteke as fodder and hope the DGW fell kindly with Southampton and SHU. Curiously on form right now. Decent stats as well. Two goals from three big chances is interesting for him.

  15. Big Ronnie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Which 3 to start? Currently on A, B and C.

    A) TAA (lee)
    B) Shaw (BUR)
    C) Rudiger (BHA, got Mendy)
    D) Holding (FUL)
    E) Fofana (WBA)

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah A,B and C

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      ABC

  16. timPgoodwin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Who's the best Neto replacement? 5.8m and under

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Shame you can't get Bowen at 5.9 - Pereira perhaps

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Agreed with this

        There's also a really cheeky punt on ASM available. Per minute he's actually outperforming Raph and Pereira!

        1. Catastrophe
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          ASM could be a great shout

    2. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Raphina or Pereira imo

  17. AF90
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    DCL, Raphinha & Cancelo -> Iheanacho, Son & Phillips -8??

  18. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Play Dallas or Coufal?

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      coufal

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Coufal

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Dallas

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        People are stil benching Dallas?

  19. Manani
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    which 1 to start?

    A. Rudiger (got Mendy)
    B. Holding
    C. Coady

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      A

    2. drughi
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      A

  20. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Which one do you prefer for their nice run or fixtures?

    A) Semedo (5.2)
    B) Saiss (4.9)

    1. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      a

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Saiss if he can find his shooting boots again

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        He was so good last time (GW1) against SHU!

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Saiss I think

      Just a little nervous about what happens when/if Boly reappears. He has missed out before but he has good history in attacking returns.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Boly back is clearly a risk! Maybe Semedo is safer in terms of starts..

        1. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          I ended up going dull with Coady.

          Don't have any real belief in his attacking threat - suspect it'll all go when Boly is back but he's in for just 2 weeks and then is back up fodder.

          Miss Said already - he's been one of my lucky charm players,

          1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Coady is cheap and managed to get a goal against City. But same here - don't trust his attacking threat one bit.

            Saiss has been good for me before also.. Semedo feels like a fun differential.

            Maybe I'll flip a coin. Cheers mate!

      1. focaccia

    Martinez

    E) Save

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

  26. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Start 1
    Areola (Ars)
    Martinez (MCI)

    And is Auba -> Bruno -4 worth it this week??

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Areola

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Martinez - see if Auba plays tonight before deciding

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Marti has the higher upside

  27. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Who will score more points this GW?

    Rudiger or Cancelo ?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Cancelo if he starts

    2. Jebiga
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Cancelo because Ridiger will be benched probably

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers

  28. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Is benchboosting with 6 players who have to get through FA Cup matches before the Premier League a bad idea?

    Forster - could get dropped at any point tbf
    Rudiger/Azpi/Mount - could get rotated at any point
    Vardy/Ihenacho - Vardy could get injured at any point

  29. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Is A Sterling to Bruno a no- brainer or B go Greenwood which would allow Vydra upgrade to Lacazette or Vardy for 33?

    Leno
    TAA Rüdiger Alonso
    Salah Sterling* Son Lingard Jota
    Kane Iheanacho

    Forster Fofana Holding Vydra

    1. A19
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Think I'd go with Bruno. The other move you suggest would bring you a benching headache every week.

    2. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      go for bruno, if you really want greenwood, could always go Son to greenwood after this gw

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Good point- thanks

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2 years, 11 months ago

    What to do with Richarlison? He blanked in the past 4 GW, and Everton seems to set up more defensively with all their injuries. But at the same time, with DCL out, he'll play as the main striker against a quite poor Spurs defence.
    If I sell, options would be either Cavani or downgrade to Vydra and upgrade my mids. Other strikers are Kane and Nacho.

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I would roll and play v suspect Spurs defence -
