FPL Gameweek 4 round-up: Saturday goals, assists, bonus and injuries

Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.5m) bagged a double-digit haul on his second Manchester United debut as the Portuguese veteran’s 2.2 million owners were rewarded for their investment on Saturday.

No player has racked up more FPL points than the United number seven in Gameweek 7 so far, although Romelu Lukaku (£11.5m) went stride for stride with his fellow premium forward and matched that 13-point tally.

The Red Devils’ 4-1 thrashing of Newcastle United was one of eight Premier League matches that took place on a busy Saturday, the main talking points of which we’ll discuss in this our first Gameweek 4 round-up.

Our usual, more detailed Scout Notes will follow for all of the day’s games but in the meantime, our resurrected Scoreboard series rounds up the key goings-on.

The graphics below are taken from LiveFPL, Ragabolly’s excellent and ever-expanding website, and our own Premium Members Area.

GOALS, ASSISTS, PROJECTED BONUS

KEY FPL TALKING POINTS

  • Deprived of the services of Son Heung-min (£10.1m) and Steven Bergwijn (£6.0m) and lining up in a diamond formation, Tottenham Hotspur managed only two shots in the whole of their clash with Crystal Palace (none in the first half) and have the worst expected goals tally (0.09) in Gameweek 4 so far. The Eagles, by contrast, topped Saturday’s xG table with 3.00.
  • Odsonne Edouard (£6.5m) scored twice on his debut and Wilfried Zaha (£7.0m) seemingly consolidated his position as Palace’s first-choice penalty taker, stepping up to take the Eagles’ spot-kick with Luka Milivojevic (£5.4m) on the field. Of just as much interest from an FPL perspective was the performance of budget midfielder Conor Gallagher (£5.5m,), who delivered two attacking returns for the second Gameweek in a row. On free-kicks and corners, he was involved in nine of the 18 shots that Palace had.
  • Mason Greenwood (£7.7m), Paul Pogba (£7.7m) and Bruno Fernandes (£12.5m) are all set to be tied on 31 points in FPL if the bonus points are delivered as expected. No midfielder has more this season.
  • Shane Duffy (£4.2m) is now the joint-best ‘value’ player in the game, returning 5.2 points per million spent. He was part of a Brighton defence that kept their second shut-out in four matches in a 1-0 win over Brentford.
  • Last season’s best two backlines, Manchester City and Chelsea, are now joint-top along with Spurs for clean sheets this season (three each) despite the pair being in the bottom half of our Season Ticker over the opening four Gameweeks. Chelsea struggled from set plays against a lively Aston Villa, however, and they’ve now allowed 17 chances from dead-ball situations to be conceded over the last two Gameweeks.
  • Pep Guardiola named an unchanged starting XI for the third successive match, the first time he has ever done that at City. It’s safe to assume that more changes will be in the offing once the Champions League starts in midweek and indeed Thomas Tuchel’s tinkering has already begun in earnest, with the benched Mason Mount (£7.5m) and Andreas Christensen (£5.0m) two of six changes that the Chelsea manager made.
  • Dean Smith paired Danny Ings (£8.0m) and Ollie Watkins (£7.3m) in the same side for the first time, turning to a 3-5-2 to accommodate both strikers. Watkins was heavily involved and registered three times as many touches of the ball than his strike partner, who was hooked midway through the second half. Watkins also had six shots to Ings’ one.
  • Marcal‘s (£4.5m) two attacking returns in Wolves’ 2-0 win over Watford were his first ever in FPL. The left-back banked two assists despite not creating a single chance in Opta’s eyes: a Marcal cross was first turned into his own net by Francisco Sierralta (£4.4m), before the Portuguese defender’s blocked shot was converted by debutant substitute Hee-Chang Hwang (£5.5m). Marcal and fellow wing-back Nelson Semedo (£4.9m) had three of the six big chances that Wolves created.
  • Arsenal have had 52 attempts on goal in their two meetings with non-big six sides this season. Thirty of those came in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Norwich City.

INJURIES AND BANS

FPL Gameweek 4 round-up: Saturday goals, assists, bonus and injuries 7

Michail Antonio (£8.0m) and Japhet Tanganga (£4.5m) will both miss Gameweek 5 through suspension after being sent off for two bookable offences on Saturday.

On suspension tightrope watch, meanwhile, Paul Pogba (£7.7m) has reached three yellow cards after just four Gameweeks. Another two bookings before United have played a total of 19 league matches and he’ll be suspended for one game.

Brighton’s win came at a cost, with Adam Webster (£4.5m) limping off with a hamstring problem – something that may aid Shane Duffy‘s (£4.2m) chances of staying in this Albion side, however.

The Seagulls were also without Pascal Gross (£6.0m) and Enock Mwepu (£5.9m), who were both self-isolating.

“I need to see but he said [Webster] felt something there but we will see how bad that is. Enock was pinged from a flight and Pascal is just self-isolating.” – Graham Potter

Edinson Cavani (£8.4m) missed Manchester United’s win over Newcastle with a knock that isn’t expected to keep him out for long, while Rob Holding (£4.3m) was absent from Arsenal’s win over Norwich with a bruised knee.

Son Heung-min (£10.1m) and Steven Bergwijn (£6.0m) were absent from Spurs’ defeat at Crystal Palace, while Eric Dier (£4.6m) was forced off after just 11 minutes of the loss at Selhurst Park.

Nuno Espirito Santo was, as ever, a bit thin on details after the game:

“I don’t know. [Son] doesn’t look well. Stevie, let’s wait and see this week. Hopefully, they will improve and be available for the next game, let’s see.

“Let’s wait and see [on Dier].” – Nuno Espirito Santo

Among the more notable returnees on Saturday were Jonny Evans (£5.4m) and Jannik Vestergaard (£4.9m), who shared 90 minutes of game-time between them.

Kevin De Bruyne (£11.9m) and Phil Foden (£7.9m) were unused substitutes for Manchester City.

Callum Wilson (£7.4m), missing with a thigh injury, will be “touch and go” to feature in Gameweek 5, meanwhile.

FPL OWNERSHIP AND CAPTAINCY – TOP 10K

Ronaldo’s ownership shot up from nought to 65% in the top 10k over the last fortnight and he was the most-captained player among these leading managers, with just over half handing him the armband.

Ronaldo and Lukaku were the only players in the above ‘most popular’ list to bank double-digit hauls so far but the Belgian is a veritable differential by comparison.

While almost 99% of the leading FPL managers had to stomach Antonio’s red card, over 7% endured the double ignominy of captaining him.

There was a big spike in Wildcard usage in Gameweek 4, with over 17% of the top 10k deploying the chip.

The Brighton goalkeeper double-up, bargain-bin defenders and ‘out of position’ mid-price midfielders are features of the template squad, with over 85% also opting for Ronaldo.

    Is Dem Grey nailed on?

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      You have to delve into the Townsend theory thing and visit the Toffee's forum ( not a bad crowd I've found).
      I think the cement is sound,

  2. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bit stuck on what to do. My only starting bench player is Livramento who plays City away. Do I just play him? Or do I sell Antonio for Jimenez to get a proper XI?

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      You'd probably want Antonio straight back in, yeah? Probably just hold and play Livramento.

  3. The Invincibles
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Best mid for £8.7m or less for the next 3 weeks? (Already have Jota)

    1. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Raphina

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        This.

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Greenwood, i made the mistake of going Raph over him from the start, dont make the same mistake

  4. Iain Dowies Love Child
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Current squad, WC intact, 1FT, £1.6m ITB:

    Sanchez - Foster
    TAA - Shaw - Coufal - White - Manquillo
    Salah - Raphina - Jota - Gray - Gilmour
    Ronaldo - Antonio - Toney

    Reasonable start to the season by my standards and no hits taken so far. But really tempted by Shaw, Antonio, Toney to Mercal, Lukaku, Dennis for a -8. Mad?

    1. diabydoesgallas
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Dennis is a terrible option

      1. Iain Dowies Love Child
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        With the fixtures I'll be playing 4-4-2

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Stopped at WC intact

  5. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any news on Gilmour? Was he injured or just dropped?

    1. Lav
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I imagine international break played a role.

  6. Sheffield Wednesday
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Who in your opinion is the best fpl Wolves defender?
    (Currently own Saïss but fancy Semedo/Marçal)

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I know Marcal hauled but Semedo had two great chances to score today - although maybe he missed because he's turd, not sure

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Haha yep he's turd, not worth the extra

        1. waldo666
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Absolutely this.

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Marcal based on form/price
      Semedo on stats

    3. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Probably Semedo

    4. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Stick with Saiss.

  7. tommo1989
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Do we actually think Ronaldo will rise? I’m sure Lukaku was in a similar position and didn’t rise

    1. gart888
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and bring him in. I got absolutely battered this week going without him or Lukaku.

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Unless fpl towers intervene he has to go up in price tonight given how rapidly ownership grown to 31%

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Which they love to do, price changes are so dodgy

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      just bought him, can’t risk his price getting away from me.

      Antonio red card and midweek fixtures for WHU meant he had to go.

      I think many will make this move

      Now own Salah, Ronaldo & Lukaku … not ideal but can’t grumble

      WC intact if the wheels fall off this week

  8. Lav
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Antonio getting the red makes me want to bin him…but I know that is the wrong move.

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      They have Europe and league cup and a suspension before he next plays.

      Those hammies will be gone soon enough and I am personally not as Gung ho on their fixtures as everyone else is.

      I think he's expendable personally

      Especially with Ronny Lukaku taking up 25m and 2 spots, Bamford and DCL looking better options too

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      would you sell him for Ron or Lukaku ?

    3. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Easy hold for mine.

  9. smash
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Raphina or Torres

    For next GW? may make the move tonight as funds are tight
    Cheers

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Raphinha

      1. smash
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks, can do without the headache of City players this year tbh

        1. waldo666
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Yep, I've avoided them completely to this point and will continue to do so.

        2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Live a little Sam.

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Raph has a 1 goal or assist ceiling, Torres could bang or be benched, Torres is my one punt this season, he played well again today

  10. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Would you WC this lot?

    1ft 0.7 itb

    Lukaku is a must and I want rid of ESR, Antonio long term, actually probably all three Hammers tbh, Bachmann, Torres is expandable, I want a Chelsea defender also.

    Sanchez (Bachmann)
    Taa Shaw Coufal Jansson
    Salah Esr Torres Benrahma
    Ronaldo DCL

    Bachmann Livra Bissouma Antonio*

    1. gart888
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      You think Salah, Ronaldo, and Lukaku are all musts?

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I think so yup
        Certainly CR7 and Lukaku

        1. gart888
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          They're not going to play Newcastle and a Martinezless Villa every week.

          1. No Kane No Gain
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Martinez wasn’t saving either of the lukaku goals

          2. Stupendous
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Ronaldo and Lukaku are essential

            Kid yourself all you want.

            In fact I think Lukaku is the most essential player now.

            He's different level

            1. gart888
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              I just don't buy Lukaku being fixture proof. I wouldn't rush to bring him in for Spurs and City. Personally I'll be going 2 of Salah/Lukaku/Ronaldo based on fixtures.

              1. Stupendous
                • 11 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                No Dier, no Tanganga, no confidence...

                He's gonna molest spurs

                Hat trick possibly

            2. waldo666
              • 13 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Most essential in the game? He's scored against cellar dwellers Arsenal and a depleted Villa outfit, think that claim is well premature.

              1. Stupendous
                • 11 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                You obviously haven't watched Chelsea much this season and with him now.

                He's different class

                It's OK to disagree pal

                1. waldo666
                  • 13 Years
                  2 years, 6 months ago

                  I have actually and ofc it's OK to disagree, pal.

                  He's got class no doubt, but certainly doesn't ooze so much so that he is top of the pile right now for mine.

                  1. Stupendous
                    • 11 Years
                    2 years, 6 months ago

                    I really see them pressing on. Smash spurs and really put a dent in City's title hopes if they beat them.

                    Think Chelsea, City, United, Pool top four

                    They are gonna do immensely with him up there. Everything leads to him.

                    1. waldo666
                      • 13 Years
                      2 years, 6 months ago

                      It would not surprise me in the least to see them smash Spurs, they look all at sea.

                      City will be the real test for mine.

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No.

    3. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      ah man, ESR should have scored, but like I said he can't shoot to save his life - it's hard but a Chelsea defender can wait imo, is Antonio & Benrahma -> Bam & Raph an option?

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Esr dropping tonight

      2. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Also, is he now a permanent sub or was it just for illness?

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          could just be in a rotation now tbh

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No this is decent team - WC would be wasted

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks

    5. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I dont think you would sell Torres this week would you? Home v saints and hes playing well

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Could be the week he is dropped with Foden and Kdb back and mahrez due a start.

        He is due.

        I agree though. He might even be a captain punt but I'd not have the balls.

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I think KDB and Foden will play midweek in the champions league always a risk though but you knew that when you brought him

  11. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Just did Son, Antonio -> Gallagher, Ronaldo

    Can sleep peacefully now!

    1. Carlton P
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Good moves

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      This guy's gonna have the worst nightmare's known to man.
      Let's care for him when he posts again.

  12. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Damn Toney dropping again!

    need to get rid ASAP tonight.

    Best striker up to 6.9 guys?

    Wood?

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Think I'm just gunna take the drop on the chin and likely play him this week and look to have more flexibility to move him on with two FTs the week after.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      sell him even if for a -4 and move on

  13. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Hey guys, what you do with this?

    Sanchez Steele
    Shaw TAA White Livramento Amartey
    Salah Bruno Raphinha Jota Gilmour
    Bamford Antonio Jiminez

    Obviously Antonio is out next game.

    The obvious thing is to get Ronaldo in for Antonio at expense of Bruno, but who to get in midfield? Not keen on Torres.

    Or just hold??

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'd probably go for Greenwood or Sarr

  14. Miami Monkey
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Marcal nailed? Or play safe with Coady/Kilman?

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Go Coady, I reckon.

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think he has made the position his, Marcal

  15. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Pull the trigger on Antonio -> Bamford now with the expected drop or wait?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      pull … you have had the best of him

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      At least wait until Bamford has played.

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Wait

    4. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      You wont even lose selling value on Antonio is you got him at 7.5

  16. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Gallagher or Gray??

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I watched the Palace game today, Gallagher seems to be involved in everything going forward and makes great runs too. He would be my pick

    2. Old and Slow
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think Gallagher is in better form but gray has better fixtures... If probably go Gallagher....

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      It's nice to have two good options at that price point.
      See how Gray plays first

  17. Villa Velour
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Trincao or Traore?

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Trincao

    2. Kermit Special
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Trincao looked incredible today. Could have got a few assists. Traore wasteful

      1. No Kane No Gain

        Subbed early though which is worrying

    Why did Tangtanga lose points for goals conceded? The score was 0 0 when he got his red??

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If u get subbed off u dont lose pts for conceded goals, if you get a red you do - because it's likely your red has contributed to that

      1. Old and Slow
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Huh. I never knew. Thanks much...

      2. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Had he got sent off 60+ would he have kept clean sheet points though (assuming palace then didn’t score)

        1. FPL Theorist
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Yes

          1. FPL Theorist
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            For example, on the FPL site you can see that Antonio is shown as getting a CS this week (although it doesn't confer any points for a forward).

            1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              But they did keep a clean sheet. I'd assume pts are given for cs and goals conceded as if the player was still in the game

              1. FPL Theorist
                • 4 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                I don't think we're disagreeing?

        2. Lingard’s Shin Guards
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          not sure but I doubt it

      3. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yup this. Think the record low is -6 for a player

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

    Apologies of this has been mentioned already but… Anyone else noticed numbers on their gameweek history, specifically gameweek 3 are a little of of sync. Had a green arrow for gameweek 3 last week. Now it’s red. Total points are correct, just seems a little strange. Assume it will be corrected. Thanks.

    1. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years

      Yes FPL messed up something in the code today and have had so many bugs including this one. Hopefully they can sort it out

      1. BitTight

        Thanks Ragabolly

  20. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Kane & Antonio
    To
    Lukaku & Bamford (-4)

    Looks mighty tempting, even gives 0.6ITB to upgrade Bruno to Salah if need be in the future.

    1. Kermit Special
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      U reckon Lukaku will smash your team? Looks good if you can't afford Ronaldo

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Would have to sell one of Bruno/Shaw to get Ronaldo.

        Possible moves are:

        A) Save - Kane | Bruno | Williams (deputising for Antonio)

        B) Kane & Antonio to Lukaku & Bamford (as above) (-4)

        C) Kane & Bruno to Lukaku & Salah (-4)

        D) Kane & Shaw to Ronaldo & def up to 5.3 (-4)

        E) Kane, Bruno & Alonso to Ronaldo, Salah & def up to 5.0 (-8)

        F) Kane, Bruno & Antonio to Ronaldo, Lukaku & mid up to 8.0 (-8)

    Anyone out there know why Gilmour didn’t come off the bench today?! Is he unlikely to play against Watford next week?!

    1. ZTF
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      It was a weird selection in general. Farke loves Rupp but I wouldn’t worry, he was extremely poor again and Gilmour will almost certainly come back vs Watford.

      He’s not really the type you bring off the bench when chasing a game

  22. Football Legs

    Hello !

    How long is Firmino expected to be out?

    Planning to buy Jota. Cheers!

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Apparently he is in light training.

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He will miss next weekend as a maximum

  23. Kermit Special
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez

    Trent Shaw Semedo

    Greenwood Salah Jota Sarr

    Antonio Lukaku Antonio

    Steele Alan Livra White

    Sell Antonio to Bamford? or bench and play White?

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      What about the other Antonio?

      😉

      1. Kermit Special
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Damn lol I meant Jimenez 😀

    2. GREEN JUMPERS
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Play White

    3. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Bench and play White.

  24. Big_Andy_GAWA

    What time are price changes this season? After 2am or so, is it?.

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      2.45am UK time usually

  25. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    How was Sarr?

    Esr to Sarr for free?

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Or ESR to Gallagher for free and bench this week?

      1. Francescoli
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I’d hold ESR personally

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Why???

          He is about to drop AGAIN.

          5.5 to 5.3 in a week

          1. Francescoli
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Arsenal fixtures are so good and he will be creating a lot of chances

            1. Stupendous
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              If he plays. Fair enough though

        2. ZTF
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Not worth an FT this week but I really wouldn’t want him long term. They still look extremely poor

          1. Stupendous
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Thanks

    2. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Had a cross that King should have poked into the net

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        One cross

        That's all that can be said?

        He has great fixtures. Arguably the best!

        1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I didn't watch the game, just saw that highlight

          Stats suggest he and the rest of the team had a quiet day

          1. Stupendous
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Ta

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sarr

  26. Francescoli
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any other ideas for this wildcard team?

    Bachmann
    TAA James Marcal
    Salah Jota Raphinha Sarr
    Ronaldo DCL Bamford

    Steele; White Livramento Sissoko

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      It's still Sanchez over Bachmann for me. I would downgrade Jota and get Lukaku up top over Bamford

      1. Francescoli
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Really like the Watford and Wolves fixtures. I have Sanchez in my pre wildcard team but thought it best I play the fixtures noting Sanchez isn’t getting baps anyway. What makes you believe in a Sanchez hold?

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Just that Brighton's defence seems to be better than Watford's and their fixtures aren't that bad

    2. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yea, buy a Lukaku sized couch

      1. Francescoli
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Was planning on going Ronaldo to Lukaku in gw7. Should I save myself the hassle and stick Lukaku in now? I can’t really fit them both in.

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I think he does well in both games

        2. WVA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Both are fixture proof

  27. Miami Monkey
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    What to do with this mess

    Sanchez (Gunn)
    TAA White Williams (Livramento *Amartey)
    Salah Bruno Jota *Benrahma Sarr
    DCL *Antonio (Obafemi)

    1 FT, 3.3 ITB (because did Son-->Jota last week)

    Not sure what to do to get CR7. Could swap from 352 to 343 by taking Obafemi & Bruno out. Or should I swap one of DCL or Antonio for him? Either way it needs a hit and would then end up with even more ITB, so maybe just wildcard?

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Lukaku more a priority I think, even with fixtures.

      He will smash Spurs and may score v City

      Lukaku then Ronaldo for me

      You probably need at least one if not both imo

    2. GREEN JUMPERS
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not a mess. A hit is better than using your WC. Money ITB isn't so bad - you can take it with you (to next week)

      1. Miami Monkey
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Take out Obafemi or one of Antonio/DCL?

  28. ZTF
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Schmeichel [Ward]
    TAA Coady Ayling [Webster*] [Livramento]
    Raphinha Salah Pogba Ben [Gilmour]
    DCL Lukaku Antonio*

    What am I doing with 1.1m and 1FT?

    Benrahma to Torres and play Gilmour?

    Tempted by

    1. ZTF
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Weird, ‘Tempted by’ should come before final sentence

    2. No Kane No Gain
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I’m tempted to play gilmour but want to know more about his no show today...

      1. ZTF
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        He’ll play. I’m relatively certain

        1. No Kane No Gain
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Play or start. Just worrying that he got subbed off 78th min gameweek 3 then ditched for gameweek 4. I’d play him if I knew he’d start for sure!

  29. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Antonio at -83 on fplstats, is it possible he may even drop? Got exactly 7.9 for bamford as a replacement, undecided what to do. cheers.

    1. GREEN JUMPERS
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Who's first on your bench?

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Allan (eve) or Williams (nor), whichever i place first

        1. GREEN JUMPERS
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          He's only out 1 week, play Williams at home to WAT

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            cheers bud, may well do this and just at least hope he doesn't drop tonight for the time being.

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      fplstats so far this haven't been too accurate but your situation needs you to a make decision quickly just in case he drops

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        very true, has to come from me

    3. ZTF
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Need more context for your team. Any other pressing issues? Decent bench? Or any Leeds cover?

      I think he’s still really good value and is worth just sticking with personally

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        wildcarded this GW, happy with the team, rank/position etc

        Sanchez
        Shaw - TAA - Tierney
        Raphinha - Benrahma - Salah - Jota
        Antonio* - Ronaldo - DCL
        _____________________________
        Foster: Allan: Williams: Livramento

        Could just stick him on the bench but WHam have so many games upcoming now, just don't know, eeek!

        1. ZTF
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I have a similar team, and very similar issue, in your case I think I’d play Williams and look where else you can improve. Quite possibly benrahma

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Brill, thanks man, Benrahma i would like to deal with before Antonio actually so that makes more sense, may sit on my hands for tonight then

    4. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Did you buy him at 7.5? If so makes no difference

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        yeah had him from the very start bud, i guess it really makes no difference, also love Leed's fixtures after tomorrow.

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          So just wait, i will likely do Antonio to Bamford too but later in the week

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            will do pal cheers

  30. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Will toney price fall today?

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      According to fpl stats yes buts its never right
