Ipswich Town Vs Fulham FPL: Who Hauled And What It Means

The call — Ipswich 2-1 Fulham: the £4.0m defenders scored the goals O'Shea scored for Ipswich, played 90 minutes, took all three bonus points and cleared the defensive-contribution bar with room to spare. Eleven points. He costs £4.0m. Hardly anyone owns him — roughly 1 in 40 managers.

One squad, picked before a ball was kicked and run for five gameweeks on three transfers — no hits taken. Scored on FPL’s own results.

Your name and your FPL team name. That is all it takes, and we will have your answer before you have finished reading this sentence.

No FPL password, ever. We only read what FPL already publishes.

He was not alone. Ouattara, also £4.0m, also scored, also played 90, took two bonus. Ten points. Fewer than 1 in 10 managers hold him. Two Ipswich defenders at the bottom price band returned 21 points between them in one match. Ipswich did not keep a clean sheet. The goals and bonus did the work.

Now the line most readers came for. Diop is the owned Ipswich defender — about 1 in 10 managers have him at £4.0m. He blanked. Two points. Davis, owned by nearly 1 in 10, took a yellow card and finished with one point. The template picked the wrong Ipswich defenders this week. That is the fact.

For Fulham, Sessegnon scored in defeat. Seven points at £4.3m, owned by almost nobody. Iwobi played 86 minutes and hit the defensive-contribution threshold for four points. King, the most-owned Fulham asset in this match at nearly 1 in 20 teams, took a yellow and returned two points. No clean sheet at either end.

One flag from the Ipswich side: Clarke came off after 27 minutes with an assist already banked. The evidence does not say why. Palacios also went off at 27 minutes. Watch the Ipswich team news before acting on either.

The call. O'Shea is the move. £4.0m, a goal, maximum bonus, and he clears the extra-defending points line — nine contributions here against a bar of ten is close, and the eleven points stand regardless. One match is one match, and Ipswich did not keep the sheet. But at that price, with that return, and with the owned options Diop and Davis producing three points between them, the facts point one way. Buy O'Shea. If you hold Diop, he is now the bench option, not the starter.
