You’ve probably heard about Joe’s much-liked ‘Goals Imminent’ table. You might listen to his and Marc’s Fantasy Football Scout podcast of the same name. Now, Goals Imminent is here in article form!

Naturally, we’ll attempt to assess whether they’re unlucky, suffering a rare blip, or just aren’t particularly good.


LAST WEEK’S SUCCESSES

FPL notes: Gyokeres injury, Saka's chances + another Gabriel haul 1

Saturday brought mixed news for Viktor Gyokeres‘ (£9.0m) owners. He scored for the first time in six matches, which could’ve kept him on this week’s table, but a half-time withdrawal meant the Arsenal forward has only racked up seven shots in our investigative period.

We also predicted some Morgan Gibbs-White (£7.3m) joy. Nottingham Forest had only netted once in seven league games, but his header ended such humiliation.

Mohamed Salah (£14.2m) and Bruno Fernandes (£8.9m) appeared on both tables and duly delivered. The Egyptian scored for a second successive match, whereas Manchester United’s playmaker set up the City Ground opener.

Also assisting were Phil Foden (£8.0m) and Bruno Guimaraes (£6.6m).

      I miss the days when I was an average FPL manager, man. Could play whatever way I wanted to. Now there's pressure to try stay top of the MLs and what not. Though I still try to take it easy most times.

      handball rules in european comps are mental

      1. Philosopher's Stones

        Was a pen though

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          3 months, 1 day ago

          yeah fair by the rules. but like ball is headed by gabriel like 2 inches away and it hits the defenders head/back before his hand as well. just dont ever want to see those given as pens in pl

          1. Philosopher's Stones
            • 5 Years
            3 months, 1 day ago

            These goals have been given in the PL in the past too though. Jenas pen in the 03/04 or 04/05 NLD? His hand doesn't need to be there.

        2. Freshy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 months, 1 day ago

          Seemed like it went off Gab first, then traveled 3 inches to the hand which was tight to his head.

            • 15 Years

            Is the head is considered the body?

            1. Philosopher's Stones

              Yes is the

      One less for the weekend

    10. Ha.

      Say this again on Saturday

    11. Punned It
        3 months, 1 day ago

        Saka took the pen and scored, although no Gyökeres, of course.

      • Ser Davos
        • 10 Years
        3 months, 1 day ago

        are any Lacroix owners thinking of switching to Guehi?

        Thought this for a while that Guehi will somehow find routes to hauls and he managed it once more with those 2 BPs.

        1. Punned It
            3 months, 1 day ago

            Yeah, looking to move on either Guehi or Muñoz from Lacroix. Guehi is both cheaper and seems to be able to keep a steady supply of points, so deffo leaning that way.

            1. Tonyawesome69
              • 7 Years
              3 months, 1 day ago

              Guehi is the same price as Lacroix...

              1. Punned It
                  3 months, 1 day ago

                  Cheaper than Muñoz, I meant. Sorry for being unclear.

            2. F4L
              • 11 Years
              3 months, 1 day ago

              nah not now they're the same price (i think?). lacroix should be more reliable for dc points long term, at least theres that and last season did average a higher shot per 90. guehi has been very impressive like you say though, done really well to constantly get his head onto the ball from set pieces/long throws this season

              1. F4L
                • 11 Years
                3 months, 1 day ago

                *just to add i do think lacroix's attacking threat will show up again. that miss against west ham was disappointing, if he had those extra 6 points then i think owners would just feel abit more content with him as he'd be above munoz in the standings etc

              2. Ser Davos
                • 10 Years
                3 months, 1 day ago

                that's exactly my point... your sentiment is based on logic and yet I can't but wonder if Guehi will keep defying that

                2 DCs, 2 BPs should be pretty sustainable for Guehi too

                1. F4L
                  • 11 Years
                  3 months, 1 day ago

                  yeah you're not wrong. i just dont know tbh, its just tough. lacroix is 5 and close 5ppg for the season. like i just wouldnt want to sell that asset, you cant exactly feel disappointed by that return. if you want both and play 4/5 back then maybe. although maybe too many eggs in 1 basket. but try and find a 5.5 to even 6 mid/striker to match these 2 and its hard to be confident any will.

                  i mean if you really want guehi and have a few FTs stored up then i guess yeah could go for the switch. there's nothing to take away from guehi, he deserves the points hes had this season like you say and hard to think they wont keep rolling in for him

            3. Tonyawesome69
              • 7 Years
              3 months, 1 day ago

              Only if you have the luxury transfers. Ideally roll FT or use elsewhere

              1. Tonyawesome69
                • 7 Years
                3 months, 1 day ago

                Also it's the IB after GW11 so may be wise to roll FTs for flexibility

          • F4L
            • 11 Years
            3 months, 1 day ago

            is gabriel like the top scorer in ucl fantasy? constant clean sheets and at least 3 attacking returns now

                  funny how we thought they were done after 21-22

                  TAA - VVD - Robbo - Matip - Cancelo - James - Chilwell

            Save it for the weekend Saka

            1. Ser Davos
              • 10 Years
              3 months, 1 day ago

              he scored in the LC too

              I had Saka when he returned at the end of last season, GW1 and on his return. That's 3 underwhelming phases after missing out on his electric start to last season.

              Overpriced and not a great ARS lot in the current landscape

              Could quickly change of course
