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.
My capitano. Come onnnnn

Repost from earlier, but just to help others who missed it:

id get barkley for mirallas and upgrade a mid or def next week
Open Controls
@LR
You may as well keep RVP for this united run, they can't afford any slip ups and he will play every game. It could be a perverse differential.
I would look to get some spurs in there mate.Open Controls
Wildcard or not? That is the question. 3 injuries ( Brady Chester Williams ) and 4-5 players i want rid of. Strong players still good.
Open ControlsWC imo
Open ControlsThanks Liastro.
Open Controls
Have you got a potential draft? It would be good to see how you can improve the midfield while still keeping RVP. Because unless it's good, I would probably recommend the hit - mostly because I think you'll want to keep the WC until after January.
Open ControlsGive me a few minutes.
Open Controls
why doesnt hulk play for a better team
Open Controls
Open to the table. Can this XI get through GW7 and keep the gold dust 2FT for next week?
Boruc, Zab, Toure, Coleman, HBA, Nolan, Ozil, Michu, Rooney, Giroud, Lambert (with only Ward fit on bench)Open Controls
Between him,Paulinho and Siggy for me

anyone know whether swans and spurs will play michu n siggy in the europa league??

Good to go?Open Controls
no more hits this week for you, solid enough
ship Arnautovic over the int'l break methinksOpen Controls
Nice!!! only will Paulinho get you points? go for Barkley or Brady or Ramsey the in-form players
Open ControlsCheers, with Brady injured it will have to be Barkley for Arnautovic. Whilst Ramsey is in, the imminent return of Cazorla, Podolski, Wally and The Ox could shift his position slightly.
Over the season Barkley will outscore Ramsey easily.Open Controls
Dawson or Davies to replace Collins?
Dawson should rise tonightOpen ControlsThen wait - seeing as they both may still play before the weekend. I'm still not sure how long Dawson is going to be first choice.
Open Controls
Got 100 point's in UCL last round but still decided to WC..I'm taking a risk and going for all Gk/DEF under 4.5..If i can manage 2 CS's i will be happy 🙂
Sommer Kaminski

it's funny too see that Soldado is deifferential now
hardly anyone at this site got him
my only wish is that Lamela finally get start so Soldado could finally show his goal scoring instinct
i am sick of that greedy towsteand guyOpen Controls
do you still think soldado will come good ?
Open ControlsI'm waiting for the Lamela to arrive.
Think Soldado will come good but don't think he creates enough of his own chances when there are so many strikers who both get similar quality service & also create their own opportunities.Open Controls
Townsend looked decent last game, is Lamela really worth 30M?
Open Controlshe dosnt worth 30M but he is better player (more unselfish) than towasnd
Open Controls
Is Walcott on track to return after International Break?
Open Controlsno news
initial reports indicated more like GW9 or GW10 for his come back
really depends on how his body heals, internal organs and all, wouldn't him to come back too soon and tear something resulting in more time outOpen Controls
Not sure if it's been posted before but Higuain could be a doubt for tonight:

Can't comment on the reliability of the sourceOpen Controlsdoes walker worth extra 1M over Dawson?
Yes or NoOpen Controls
Righty then....
Mingolet. (Rudd)
Baines, Vidic, Koscielny, Shaw. (Turner)
Michu, Eriksen, Ward-Prowse. (Redmond, Brady)
Rooney, Suarez(c), Giroud.
1FT; £1.4m in the bank.
Where do I go from here?Open Controls5mins ago i checked the look of your team and i was quite shocked
what is going on parm?
you can't do much i guess , my advice is to get aranautovic for some of that 3 injured playersOpen ControlsLast week: RVP, Benteke, walcott & Chester all injured.
This week: Redmond & Brady injured.
Granville MKIIOpen Controls
RVP, Benteke, Walcott, Chester and Wisdom were my worries last week.
8 points and this week's FT later and I've got Chester, Collins and Brady to worry about.
7/15 of my wildcard squad of GW4 shipped out, knacked or out of favour.Open Controls- Open Controls
Redmond > Ramsey
Open Controls
Brady to Ramsey. Just accept you have to get him!
Open Controls
Parm, I would advise you to save this week and try to get 2 FTs for the International break. Then, AT THE END OF THE IB, I'd downgrade vidic to Williams/Chico, and upgrade Ward Prowse to a midfielder of your choice. If you dont want, I'd still advise you to save ur FT and wait. 2 fts can help you alot.
(coming from a Brayford,Chester,Williams (cpl), Collins, HbA and Mirallais Owner!)Open Controls
What do people think of:
Brady and Baines out
Ramsey and Terry inOpen Controls
I picked Kerzakhov in my Euro 2012. He was terrible.
I picked him in the 2012/13 UCL team. He was terrible.
I picked Hulk in the 2013/14 team and he is passing to Kerzakhov to be er well...terrible!Open ControlsI just brought him in for Lima 😀
Open Controls
As someone who had both Evra and Vidic at the weekend, I take no small amount of pleasure in the delicious irony of Rio Ferdinand being out of United's CL match with an injury.
Open ControlsYeah probably right... now I think about it, it doesn't really work in an ironic sense does it. I just hate Moyes for what he did to my defence, it's clouding my judgement.
Open Controls
Brady red flagged.
More than 100k people got him last 2 daysOpen Controlsany news on mirallas?
Open Controls
No updates as far as I know apart from the initial post about the slightly twisted ankle.
IMO he should be OK. Twist described as "slightly" which he got 25 mins in and was able to play till 70 mins or so.Open Controlsaye.....debating whether to get rid of him or brady.....so it makes a difference
Open Controls
Was on my way home, hoping itv had rights to tonight's matches rather than tomorrow's, found out they do 🙂
Then found out they were playing the Celtic Barca game over Arsenal Napoli why itv, WHY?!!Open ControlsIs it childish to smirk every time you hear the commentator say the Zenit player Shatov's name?
Open ControlsWhat needs to be done with this midfield?
Eriksen Arnatovic Lampard Michu - BradyOpen Controlswait until Friday unless there's someone with a price drop you're worried about (and don't think there is)
by then, we'll know better
also please let us know if you have any money in the bank next time, and if you have a FT available or notOpen Controls
oh well looks like im playin kim this weekend ......marvellous
