A trio of in-demand frontmen come under analysis as we run the rule over the numbers from Gameweek 6. Two of the most popular Fantasy midfielders also feature, while the impact of a new Baggies star and Southampton’s resilience at the back also feature in the first of this week’s articles for our members.

thinking of taking a hit to take out zabeleta or berbatov .. who should i bring in..?
i hv 1.6 in bankOpen Controls -
People holding onto Brady?
Open Controls -
I know yaya on great form bought for 8.5 now got 8.9
I'm honestly thinking about thanking him out after Everton game for michu.
Is this mad will the form continue?Open Controls-
Michu has an even tougher fixture...trying to break down the excellent Saints defence. Michu looks far better from gwk8 onwards. I'd hold for now.

I have already used my FT.
In caps are the players i would change.
* are the players doubtful/crocked
Do i wildcard? I'll keep Robin i think.Open Controls-
why sell Zaba?
I'd just take a -4 and sell Mirallas and Barfa to Ramsey and Brady.Open Controls-
Huh? Brady is out and that would be -8.
Open Controls-
oh the Ft has gone, didn't see that bit
Just Barfa or Brady to RamseyOpen Controls-
Have 5.8 for a mid if i remove Brady.

Replied on previous post.
Sit tight. Only take a hit if HBA or Mirallas are out, then look at Spurs - Siggy/Paulinho?
IMO don't wildcard the GW before an international break.Open Controls-
Am definitely thinking twice about it. The international break is a good reason. Going to have a long think about this today. Gut is i'm tired of playing catch up and stitching my squad up. Hence i'm thinking about WCing.
Open Controls-
But an international break could easily leave you again stitching up a squad created by a wildcard played the week previous......
I would advocate a hit over the wildcard in this particular circumstance, but again, if HBA and Mirallas make it, I would just ride this GW out and reassess after the internationals.Open Controls-
Ideally who would you replace and for whom?
Open Controls-
If either HBA or Mirallas are out, then Siggy seems obvious.
I don't think there is anybody you can switch Brady to that is worth the -4 hit at this stage. Whittingham would be obvious here, but again very doubtful it would be worth the -4.
It easy for me to say, but assuming you can manage to squeeze 11 out this weekend, whichever 11 they are, I would hang tough and look with fresh eyes after the internationals.Open Controls-
Its like that locked up feeling but i reckon you're giving decent advice. Either ways, if i'm not pulling the trigger today, i'm not pulling it.

Also at the brink here Stinkly. Don't like 5 of my starters though none of them are big players.
And 3 are injured. 3! I have a squad of 11 fit out of 15.Open Controls-
I think a team of:
Boruc
Terry - Zabs - Shaw - Murner
HBA - Mirallas - Michu
RVP - Giroud - Suarez (C)
Could easily do well this weekend.Open Controls-
Why the HBA and Mirallas optimism though given their performances so far?
Open Controls-
I own both BTW.
Open Controls-
This. Primarily despite the fitness, i want to make 6-7 changes in my squad.
Open Controls

I wouldn't call it optimism, but I don't see any other options easily obtainable and worthy of a hit in LR's situation, assuming both are passed fit and play this weekend.
Both are capable of scoring in any game.Open Controls-
Yeah fixtures aren't optimal this week, but I really couldn't see myself retaining both. Will definitely sell one. Having watched both I think that a goal is not what I'd expect next from them. Mirallas has a twisted ankle. Think Barfa was a tactical sub off though, not injury. Still potentially an issue for him.

Your strikers and GK are OK.
Terry, Shaw, Murner all good picks. What's wrong with Zaba? Good pick too unless I have missed an injury.
Switch Mirallas/Barfa & Brady for better mids for a -8. Get the pain out of the way now, with the prospect of profit this week, fixing your squad for the future. I am happy to take hits that improve my squad.Open Controls-
Thing with Zaba is i don't know if Richards will replace him at some point. Such a tough decision this.
Open Controls-
He's not the priority now though, definitely don't wanna sell him unless Richards comes in (a big if).
You could possibly just take a -4 on whichever of Mirallas/Brady/Barfa you rate the least, instead of a -8.
I think you are downplaying your squad though, it's not WC yet.Open Controls-
The hit isn't the problem - finding a replacement who is worth it is.
Open Controls-
I'm probably going Siggy myself, though I'm not expecting it to meet the approval of the FFS crowd.
Open Controls-
Siggy is the only one I could possibly see in the price bracket he would be looking at that has a decent chance of returning immediately.
FWIW my transfer this week was made earlier this afternoon and was JWP -----> Siggy.
Had to do it today as JWP is falling tonight which would've made it impossible.Open Controls-
Excellent move Stinkfly imo. I took a punt on Pozuelo as 5th mid in the absence of Hernandez which is looking a bit ludicrous now, he's been getting subbed on every game but don't know if he'll get that start I crave. Maybe I should move him out...

There's a big can of bad luck in there LR. I've racked my brains thinking of reasons to not WC. I fancy Barfa to play but it'll be a miracle if you get 11 out. Looks like an 8 pointer or WC to me. Playing it the week before an international break is a risk in itself, though - but you can count yourself very unlucky if you get a host of new injuries. Depends really how the WC looks - if you keep RVP then there's not a great deal you can do with the midfield even if you do push the button. Let's see the first draft and I'll be in a better position to make a call.

Perfect looks like 1 rise max for barkley this week.
Meaning i can get him as my FT and sell redmond next week.Open Controls-
Think Barkley only go up 0.1 before sat? I'm thinking about taking him in soon

yeh hes only on 25 % now to rise so once max

Have 7.0 (maybe 7.5, depending on the Chester transfer) to replace Brady. Is Paulinho a good choice or there is someone I'm missing?
Mignolet, Boruc
Vidic, Walker, Wilson, B Turner, Chester (-> B Davies or Clyne)
Ozil, Michu, Ramsey, Moses, Brady
Suarez, Giroud, Lukaku
Thanks in advance.Open Controls-
If you have 7.5 strive for Siggy.

This Brady news has solved a difficult decision I had this week, now who to swap him out for…..
a) Whittingham
b) Barkley
c) Arnautovic
A and C would be differentials in my ML, thoughts?Open Controls-
Some question here. I'm considering Amalfitiano and possibly Arnautovic but I would never be convinced of Stoke's attack simply because they're Stoke
Open Controls -

This Amalfitiano fellow...any good? Seems a decent differential to Barkeley besides Whittingham. And with Brady out too. I was pretty hungover during that game on Saturday 🙁
Open Controls-
*sits back with the popcorn*
Open Controls-
All you'll achieve by convincing people is reducing your differential. Keep it secret, keep it safe.

Maybe an option instead of Barkley when his fixtures ease up

He was torn to shreds a post and a few pages ago.
The conclusion was NO, at least for now, if not forever.Open Controls -

That's the thing. I don't think any of them will dominate points scoring and I'm not sure they are even nailed-on

This is what I'm stuck with. Want a spurs midfielder and have cash for Paulinho or Sigurdsson but am completely stuck on which one. Paulinho seems safe but Sigurdsson more attacking. Thoughts??

Thoughts? I have one FT but might take a -4 so pick one or 2 please.
A) Collins > Walker
B) Lampard > Paulinho/Oscar/Yaya
C) HBA > Paulinho/Yaya
D) JWP > WhittinghamOpen Controls-
D to avoid the drop and swap a substitute for a playing player!
Open Controls-
Yea I would like to, but then I have to play Collins or Ward, pretty much guaranteed 1 point.
Open Controls-
true, but I don't expect much from budget defenders anyway. expensive defenders don't guarantee anything either. I got 1 point from Vidic and Zaba this week and only 2 from them both last week. That's a crap return from £12m of defenders.

Brady news is disappointing. Hoped I'd get another week from him before his op.
I have him and JWP. JWP is falling in price tonight but at least collects a point each week whereas Brady will miss three gameweeks. Which is the better option:
JWP to Barkley or Moses
Brady to Barkley, Moses, Eriksen or PaulinhoOpen Controls -
RVP at 83% for the price drop now.
