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.
Lovely, Big Numbers appears just in time for my tea break.

People holding onto Brady?

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 ControlsMichu 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.
Open ControlsYeh realise taking michu in ain't bad more a question of am I mad losing yaya only other way would be drop ozil

Any Mirallas news ?

oh come on. don't tell me yaya is suddenly going to become more attacking now. this game is killing me, at least rate there will be a grey hair by may

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 ControlsHuh? Brady is out and that would be -8.
Open Controlsoh the Ft has gone, didn't see that bit
Just Barfa or Brady to RamseyOpen ControlsHave 5.8 for a mid if i remove Brady.
Open Controls
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 ControlsAm 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 ControlsBut 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 ControlsIdeally who would you replace and for whom?
Open ControlsIf 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 ControlsIts 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.
Open Controls
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 ControlsI think a team of:
Boruc
Terry - Zabs - Shaw - Murner
HBA - Mirallas - Michu
RVP - Giroud - Suarez (C)
Could easily do well this weekend.Open ControlsWhy the HBA and Mirallas optimism though given their performances so far?
Open ControlsI own both BTW.
Open ControlsThis. 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 ControlsYeah 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.
Open Controls
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 ControlsThing with Zaba is i don't know if Richards will replace him at some point. Such a tough decision this.
Open ControlsHe'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 ControlsThe hit isn't the problem - finding a replacement who is worth it is.
Open ControlsI'm probably going Siggy myself, though I'm not expecting it to meet the approval of the FFS crowd.
Open ControlsSiggy 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 ControlsExcellent 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...
Open Controls
Oof. Tough decision this one. Thing is i want to be happy with my squad.
Open ControlsWe are never happy with our squads 😉
Open Controls
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.
Open Controls
Perfect looks like 1 rise max for barkley this week.
Meaning i can get him as my FT and sell redmond next week.Open ControlsThink Barkley only go up 0.1 before sat? I'm thinking about taking him in soon
Open Controlsyeh hes only on 25 % now to rise so once max
Open Controls
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 ControlsAll you'll achieve by convincing people is reducing your differential. Keep it secret, keep it safe.
Open Controls
Maybe an option instead of Barkley when his fixtures ease up
Open ControlsHe was torn to shreds a post and a few pages ago.
The conclusion was NO, at least for now, if not forever.Open ControlsStay clear imo
his goals record is beyond crapOpen Controls
Is Uchida (Schalke) a starter or he was he replacing someone injured first gameweek?

For the next 3 games only
1. Lamela
2. Eriksen
3. PaulinhoOpen Controlspaulinho
Open ControlsI like 2 from those Tinkamon. Fancy a Siggy punt meself.
Open ControlsThat's the thing. I don't think any of them will dominate points scoring and I'm not sure they are even nailed-on
Open Controls
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??

should I play ambrose over garay/boating in case celtic repeat their heroics at parkhead? I can always then sub in garay/boating if he has a nightmare game right?
Open Controls
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 ControlsYea I would like to, but then I have to play Collins or Ward, pretty much guaranteed 1 point.
Open Controlstrue, 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.

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
