With double Gameweek 31 looming large over our Fantasy plans, we turn to the Key Performance Index tables in the members section and assess a selection of players with a pair of fixtures on their upcoming agendas. The KPI data focuses on the frequency of key stats or events in order to track player form –we look to the top 10 most improved midfielders in terms of minutes per shots inside the box and also assess forwards’ shooting accuracy over the past six Gameweeks:
Only for GW31:
A, Gerrard and Cahill
B, Yaya and Chester -4Open Controls
A, definitely, sets you up for the run in with Cahill too. Plus its free.
Open Controls
Anyone avoiding getting any city players this weekend? Think I am going to wait a week
Open ControlsNot sure if I should get in Yaya for Mata or wait till next week..
Open Controls
I've been saying this all week but everyone has been getting carried away with how the fixtures look on paper 🙂
Open Controls
Hmmmm if Aguero is gonna be out for GW31 i'm tempted to bring Lukaku in for a hit this gameweek....although it would mean sacrificing Lambert at home to Norwich....
Open ControlsI am holding Jrod this week with a view to bring in a DGW striker to go with SAS next week.
Open Controls
I've just realised that I plan to transfer in mainly widely owned players on my GW31 WC, for example Coleman and Yaya, who I've not owned up to this point.
Background: I am behind my rivals and am hovering around 100k.
Is it worth going with Baines and Silva purely for the differential factor and hoping that they will outscore Coleman and Yaya? I don't know where else I can make differentials since I definitely want a City attacking cover and an attacking Everton defender, and I think Yaya and Coleman are the better combination.
Current draft looks something like this:
Mannone
Ivan COLEMAN Kompany/Zaba/Skrtel Ward Chester
Sterling SILVA/YAYA AJ Puncheon ?
Studge Suaz Aguero/LukakaOpen Controls
Baines and Nasri sound like decent differentials to me. I'd pick Baines regardless though, reckon he's a better pick than Coleman even at his higher price.
Open ControlsBaines is not a better pick at all IMO, just as good as Coleman but with an extra 0.8m, which could be used to get Yaya over Silva/Nasri, who I am not so confident about owning
Open ControlsAguero out would mean a boost to Yaya's stock with pens in his locker. I'm in the same position as you, meaning if I go Coleman I can afford Yaya. I'll consider it if Kun is out, if not, Baines' share of set-pieces (corners + pens + some freekicks) and his propensity for out-bapping Coleman means I'll happily pay the extra.
Open ControlsCheck PPG and Baines' goal/assist threat from set-pieces and open play in the members area. Also check Baines' assists over the last 3 seasons. Yes, he will get the odd extra bonus and maybe a pen before the end of the season, but it's no guaranteed!
Open ControlsThat said, I would be happy with either 😀
Open ControlsIf you like looking at stats, Coleman has scored 4 premier league goals in his life before this season.
PPG is similar between Coleman and Baines, but I'd wager Coleman has been overperforming and Baines have been underperforming. I honestly think Baines has more explosive potential going forward and that's exactly what I need to regain some ground.
I've looked at the stats... they both have a non-existent goal threat lately, so that's not very relevant. Nothing's guaranteed, but I still feel Baines' potential is worth the cash.Open Controls
The stats can't tell you everything, I've watched him very closely and honestly he's in the box all the time. Your stats might show a few touches in the box but that's cause most times he's waiting to get on to the end of a cross. Imo Coleman outscores Baines from now till the end of the season, unless Everton start winning Liverpool amounts of pens
Open Controls
Baines and Nasri if it's diffs your after
Open Controls
If Aguero is out City will surely get a Penalty, Tinker. 😐
Open ControlsI know 🙁 would be even more reason to get Yaya
Open Controls
Thinking of having Baines & Coleman. Controversial.
Open ControlsOh why not, I will just go against my better judgement and get Baines as the differential. I need Everton to get some pens though for it to pay off I reckon!
Open Controls
similar situation and decided to go with Baines for sure.
Still not sure about Yaya vs Nasri, but I think I'll go with Yaya now and then try to squeeze Nasri in as well in Nolan's place after DGW31Open ControlsThinking of not getting a City defender and going with Coleman and Baines actually, but it seems a bit risky. That said, City are no guarantee for points at the moment! I will monitor their performance vs. Hull I think.
I'm not sure I want Silva and Yaya and at the same time sell Hazard on my WC. I will think about it. Can only afford it if I don't get Aguero anyway as my TV sucksOpen Controls
Mannone
Ivan Coleman Baines Ward Chester
Sterling Hazard Yaya Silva Ki
Studge Suaz Lukaku
something like that affordable?
also are you going to WC this week or next week? with aguero unsure I'm thinking it might be best to hold tight and then WC next weekOpen Controls
I think you're right Tinkerman, though most people only own 7/8 of those players, whereas you'll have a full 15. You can't expect to wildcard and have 11 unbelieivable players no-one knows about.
Open Controls
Cool kids don't lol @ Aguero owners.
Open ControlsCool kids don't lol @.
Open ControlsEither way I'm a cool kid then. 😉
Open Controls
Typical.
Open Controls
No, perhaps not. Oh, alright then. A little snigger ... 😉
Open ControlsIt was a risk for sure but not the worst decision as some people don't have very good TV & need to save every penny. I'm not an Aguero owner bdw. 😉
Open Controls
The 107 people who have gotten rid of Aguero post Barca better be on a wilcard or there really is no hope for humanity 🙂
Open ControlsHe's surely out for the weekend?
Open ControlsMaybe but maybe not, to me it seems like he didn't feel 100% so asked to be subbed so he doesn't get injured. I don't think he actually picked up an injury but time will tell
Open ControlsEither way if he's withdrawn from such an important match then he'll be rested for this weekend's match against Hull?
Open Controlsor he was withdrawn because he was ineffective and they needed goals
Open ControlsYou really think so, TW?
They wanted goals! Wouldn't sub a Striker of Aguero's quality at that stage! It's not like they have better Strikers than him!Open Controlsif he's somewhat injured and thus not 100% and therefore ineffective, I think it's perfectly reasonable to haul him off in hopes that another striker can do better
be honest here, did he really show his quality in the first half? did he really do much of anything?Open ControlsNegredo & Dzeko are good Strikers but they're no Sergio. Pellegrini knows this. Fit Aguero is nailed on & wouldn't get subbed off just because of 1 poor haf performance.
Open Controls
True, I agree. But just for people taking him out it would be silly because then for the DGW you'd want him back in if it turns out to be no injury. @TW below it was probably both factors, he was innefective because he was feeling his hamstring a little so they took him off. I think he has a tiny strain that means he will either come on at the end of the Hull game. Could be totally wrong of course 😛
Open ControlsYep. Can't see him starting this GW but like you said could easily be back for DGW.
Open Controls
Boruc
Cahill / Terry / Olsson
Nolan / Hazard / Sterling / Yaya Touré
Agüero / Sturridge / Suárez
Kelvin Davis / Richardson / Gabbidon / Bruce
Good to go?Open ControlsGood starting 11. Crap bench.

Off topic warning,
Is it just me, or is the current season of The Walking Dead a bit testicles.Open ControlsAll seasons are balls if you ask me
Open ControlsSeason one and two were cool. Not the best series ever, but a good watch IMO
Open ControlsYeah I watched season 1. It was ok but a bit meh. Seen the odd ep of the newer ones. Never got what the fuss was about
Open ControlsThe fact that there is a MASSIVE coimmunity of Zombie lovers and ZERO decent zombie shows.. Even most Zombie movies are pretty crap, you can never develope the characters/backstories enough in movies so there needed to be a good show, but it has dropped in standard since the start.
Open Controls
I didn't like season 3 to be honest. I thought it got carried away with the whole "goodies vs. baddies" angle and the characters emotions didn't really feel authentic. What's the new one like? No spoilers please
Open ControlsSeason 3 was crap imo, they made it about humans again and I hated that, its a zombie show, stick to scary zombies.
Its "The Walking Dead", not "The Walking".
I actually like season 4 a bit though, its not great and its FULL of ridiculous plotholes but its entertaining enough so far.Open Controls
I'm actually really enjoying this season so far.. A lot more down and dirty and they're all so desperate that I think they make it work..
They needed to shake it up a bit.. and *MINI-SPOILER* -> the guvnor just started to annoy me last season.Open ControlsAnyone watch Banshee? Now that is brilliant!
Open Controls
Wait for the cannibals...
Open Controls😀
Open Controls
Definitely, the last few episodes have been very testicles. Although the latest one was pretty decent, as in the one just aired in USA. The previous one with Darryl and Beth was probably the worst episode of the whole show

Open ControlsZophar. No mate I'd already decided to go with Lukaku and get Aguero after gw31. Suarez Sturridge Lukaku for me
Open ControlsYaya to rise before deadline (on Friday night) you think?
Open ControlsProbably, just keep tabs on.totalfpl
Open Controls
So I have two FTs and for the double GW I would like to transfer the highlighted players (end up with -8),
where would you start?
after the kun blow, going with Lukaku probably...
mannone (marshall)
coleman azpi fonte (BRUCE ward)
punch hazard MATA LALLANA ZAHA
ADE suarez studge
4.0, 2FTOpen Controls
Rooney (c) and Ade
or
Lukaku (c) and RooneyOpen Controls1) Cahill & Debuchy
or
2) Terry & Williamson (eventually Collins, not sure if he's nailed on though)
which one?Open Controls1
Open Controls
Szezsney (Davis)
Coleman zabaleta Collins (chambers burner)
Lallana Gerard Nolan hazard (Richardson)
Adebayor Suarez RVP
Was thinking no change this week with studge for ADe next week plus another maybe Yaya for lallana. Good to save my transfer?Open ControlsYep.
Open Controls
Snodgrass (SUN, swa, WBA) OR Sterling for -4 (car, SUN, TOT, whu)
Snoddy having relegation battle against the likes of Sunderland & West Brom at Carrow Road so trying to convince myself goals will come from Norwich in those games. Sterling undoubtedly better but not assured starts for all 4 games & very unlikely to play above 70 mins. even if he starts. And I'll have to do it for 4-point hit. What do you think people?Open Controls
Boruc-Davis
Coleman-Evra-Collins-MOlsson-John
Silva-Hazard-Lallana-Puncheon-Januzaj
RvP-Suarez-Sturridge
0.0 ITB
Considering RvP and Puncheon out for Lukaku and Yaya for -4.
Does my plan make sense?Open ControlsThen probably Boruc => Mannone for GW31 and therefore I should be able to field 10 players with a DGW for a total of -4.
Open Controls
I'm bringing in Lukaku for GW31. But the question here is, should I bring him in earlier and sell JRod on GW30? Everton - Cardiff & Southampton - Norwich
Need some opinions here. Thanks.Open Controls
Nope keep JRod for gw 30 , mouthwatering fixture vs Norwich. Buy Luks in gw 31.

FPL is a game of risk and luck. You speculate to accumulate and early adopters in a gameweek have the chance to increase their transfer budget and team value by taking risks. The current Aguero situation is yet to be clarified, however it looks like he may be injured for gameweek 30 and possibly longer. If so early adopters took the risk to transfer in Aguero at the beginning of gameweek 30 and were unlucky. You win some, you lose some. I am sure true players of FPL would not want it any other way.
Open ControlsAgreed, most of the time these players don't get injured and it only costs -4 when they do. Not having Suarez or Rambo (or Barfa for his two great hauls) in as soon as they looked incredible would've been a far bigger mistake than spending -4 on occasion.
Open Controls
Auto complete suggests Kolarov as the best replacement for Dawson.
Do it or not? (have 5.1m available) ThanksOpen Controls
Mark and team.
Get that doctor guy to look at aguaro just before half time. Does anyone else rememeber those articles? They were great.
My mate who watch the match said that he looked off the pace and clearly still struggling with his injury. I'm not going any where near him until he can prove his fitness a little and that unlikely to be GW 31.Open ControlsHe made three passes in 45 and the ony one which he completed was from KO. Im with you and going to stay clear until his sharpness rturns
Open Controls
Hey guys, David here.
Just saw Mr Aguero in ASDA buying a micro lasagne (he went for one of the expensive ones even though i told him the smart price one is half the price and tastes just as good)
He said he fine and fit to play at the weekend,
He was just a bit jealous of Lionel flirting with yaya so blatantly after all they have been through, so he went off.
I will call him later to ask about his lasagneOpen Controls
Captain pick, Suarez away at MUN or Lambert home to Norwich?

10 years, 2 months agoI'm getting in Yaya and Gerrard for the DGW anyway.. one of them will be in for Mata, the other for Lallana. I'm definitely holding onto Lallana this week though, the question is...
Pick the player that will do best for JUST GW30:
Mata (LIV) - Gerrard (mun) - Yaya (hul)
