Our first members article of the week delves into the data of the nine matches played out so far. A number of forwards come under assessment this evening, with Liverpool, United and West Ham’s new frontmen all analysed, whilst we also take a look at City’s resurgent Bosnian, Chelsea’s midfield and Swansea’s worrying lack of impact in the final third.

    If you have Pellè the rest of the Rooney replacements aren't really that inspiring.

      12 years, 29 days ago

      Kun or Dzeko? Welbz from GW8..

      1. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 29 days ago

        I'm on Dzeko personally. But just feel the pool of strikers is a bit of a minefield. Not a Welbeck fan at all.

    1. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 29 days ago

      Ulloa? Aguero?

    2. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 29 days ago

      Dzeko. He's hitting some form and more likely to stay fit than Aguero.

      Ulloa - look at his stats and fixtures on the horizon

      1. CFC1990

        I agree with you.

    Need to swap out Rooney and Ramsey. Suggestions? 2FT (Getting Pelle would involve changing one of the Southampton players as well).

    Forster / Heaton
    Bertrand / Taylor / Pieters / Duff / Moore
    Ramsey / Sterling / Sigurdsson / Schneiderlin / Arfield
    Rooney / Costa / Aguero

    A) Di Maria + Welbeck
    B) Mata + Welbeck
    C) Falcao + Silva
    D) Falcao + Ozil

    Or open to other suggestions - perhaps take a hit to get in Pelle or Tadic?

    12 years, 29 days ago

    Bottling it and waiting until tomorrow for transfer(s).
    😆

    Template gone, choices choices. Rather lose £0.1m than making a dumb decision.

  3. The Gambler.
    12 years, 29 days ago

    A) Falcao and Sterling
    B) Aguero and Tadic

    1. Declan
      12 years, 29 days ago

      B

    2. The class of 92

      B, just

    Diafra Sakho could be facing retrospective action by the Football Association and a three-match ban for violent conduct after the West Ham United forward appeared to butt Luke Shaw during the second half of the 2-1 defeat against Manchester United.

    1. Demí

      That'll teach you for making an early transfer won't it? Idiot

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 29 days ago

        that's just unlucky, but yeah we noticed that. Another reason we raged at the ref. Not questioning his Rooney call, but there was a lot of dodgy decisions

        1. Hibbo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          12 years, 29 days ago

          I didn't think the Rooney thing was a straight red to be honest.

          1. QPR expects... glory!
            12 years, 29 days ago

            Seriously?! Terrible challenge. Even LvG agreed with the red card

            1. Hibbo
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              12 years, 29 days ago

              I've seen a hell of a lot worse tbh I wouldn't call it a terrible challenge.

              1. QPR expects... glory!
                12 years, 29 days ago

                You've seen a lot of terrible challenges then 😆

        2. Demí
          12 years, 29 days ago

          I missed it. Do you think he'll get away with it?

          1. JK - Cønt ⭐
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            12 years, 29 days ago

            should do really

            went for a challenge with Shaw and they both ended up on the ground. Sakho went for him when they got back up

          2. Honeybadger
            12 years, 29 days ago

            Hopefully not because they shouldn't let players get away with stuff like that, but mostly because you have him in your team 🙂

            1. Honeybadger
              12 years, 29 days ago

              Hopefully not,* to make it clear

      2. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 29 days ago

        First Managala, now Sakho, not much luck there Demi

    2. Declan
      12 years, 29 days ago

      Naughty boy

    3. Honeybadger
      12 years, 29 days ago

      Already transferred in by some 😀

      12 years, 29 days ago

      Anyone seen the incident?

      1. Honeybadger
        12 years, 29 days ago

        Don't think it's public (yet)

      2. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 29 days ago

        I did

          12 years, 29 days ago

          How bad? With intent or a little forehead touch?

          1. JK - Cønt ⭐
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            12 years, 29 days ago

            see above

              12 years, 29 days ago

              ta.

  5. Honeybadger
    12 years, 29 days ago

    So who else is captaining Siggy?

    1. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 29 days ago

      Agüero or Sterling.

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 29 days ago

        ^this^

        Siggy gone off the boil big time

    2. Dušan Citizen
      12 years, 29 days ago

      No way..he is out of form

  6. Pilo
    12 years, 29 days ago

    Hey guys,

    I'm undecided on whether or not to wildcard. My current team is:

    Begovic Gilks

    Ferdinand Chester Colocinni Wisdom Hutton

    Di Maria Ramsey Sterling FAbregas Marney

    Costa Rooney Pelle

    The way I see it, chester, wisdom, ramsey, marney, rooney all won't play, and if I wildcard I'll be able to balance my team must more effectively, as my defence is poor.

    Interested to see what you guys think?

    1. Alfies leg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 29 days ago

      Your defence is poor but your attacking 7 is very strong. Obv Rooney has to go, not sure id wildcard to be honest. Can you afford to do Rooney-aguero? I'm guessing not. If On a wildcard I'd prob do Rooney to welbeck or ulloa and sort out your defence

      1. Pilo
        12 years, 29 days ago

        Cheers for the advice mate.
        I can't afford a straight swap to Aguero. I'm edging towards wildcarding, my defence needs re-working.

  7. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 29 days ago

    Could do with a bit of help on this one lads....

    Begovic;
    Baines, Clyne, Ferdinand;
    Di María, Sterling, Ramsey*, Sigurdsson;
    Diego Costa, Agüero, Naismith.

    Hamer; Hutton, Albrighton, Wisdom.

    2FT; £0.8m ITB.

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 29 days ago

      Ramsey to Tadic, simples

      1. Mesh
        12 years, 29 days ago

        +1

      2. emperikal
        12 years, 29 days ago

        I like this

      3. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 29 days ago

        Thinking Naismith to Welbeck as well?

      12 years, 29 days ago

      Naismith -> Pelle
      Ramsey -> whatever cash you have left?

        12 years, 29 days ago

        Everton's fixtures, mind you. 😕 And 2 FT for the international break would be decent.

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 29 days ago

        £7.2m for the midfielder....

        1. Hibbo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          12 years, 29 days ago

          Go stats get Chadli.

          12 years, 29 days ago

          Chadli then I guess. Similar situation myself... too many options right now. Ignore me! 😛

          1. Parm
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            12 years, 29 days ago

            Yeah, a bit annoying really, I want template. 😉

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 29 days ago

      Bin Rambo and Naismith or Rambo/Ferdinand.

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 29 days ago

        Thinking Ramsey to Tadic then 2FT's to do Ferdinand & Naismith to Chambers & Welbeck next week.

        1. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          12 years, 29 days ago

          you already Baines and Aguero

          I hate you 😛

          1. Parm
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            12 years, 29 days ago

            Once next week is over with(team looking poor) i'll be set up for the long run. 😉

            1. JK - Cønt ⭐
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              12 years, 29 days ago

              Aguero in this week, Baines and Welbeck next

              I'm getting there

    3. pundit of punts
      12 years, 29 days ago

      Ramsey>Fabregas

    4. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 29 days ago

      Christ you don't have Fabregas.

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 29 days ago

        Nope, don't want him either.

  8. emperikal
    12 years, 29 days ago

    Can't believe I stil saw a green arrow with my 41 this week. Up to 300 OR on the nose with Pieters to go tomorrow!

    1. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 29 days ago

      Nice one.

  9. applebonkers
    • Has Moderation Rights
    12 years, 29 days ago

    i know it's not normal to get injured but gambling on aguero before a match, really? of all the players!

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 29 days ago

      yup, happy to wait until Wednesday and lose 0.1 if needed

    2. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 29 days ago

      If getting Aguero, definiely wait til after Friday press conference.

    3. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 29 days ago

      Yep, remember the Barcelona away game last season?

      1. applebonkers
        • Has Moderation Rights
        12 years, 29 days ago

        that was almost parody of himself territory

  10. Mavric Marco
    12 years, 29 days ago

    Costa Captain next week looks good again, even against Arsenal

    1. emperikal
      12 years, 29 days ago

      Sterling against West Brom is tempting me

      1. Mavric Marco
        12 years, 29 days ago

        Yea he's my vice atm

    2. Hammers Select
      12 years, 29 days ago

      Ulloa

      1. Mavric Marco
        12 years, 29 days ago

        Punt! But after the way Burnely played today could be epic

    3. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 29 days ago

      i fancy him to score again for sure. the issue is he seems to need 2 for bonus. not a big issue, but a real teaser too, makes his 2nd goal worth 7 points.

      1. Mavric Marco
        12 years, 29 days ago

        Yea, I think because of his 'fox in the box' style play the baps don't favour him as much, he better score a brace then..! 😉

        1. applebonkers
          • Has Moderation Rights
          12 years, 29 days ago

          he's certainly capable. pretty certain he'll get a rest on tuesday as well

          1. Mavric Marco
            12 years, 29 days ago

            Yea I hope so, plus the Sunday game gives him an extra day..small margins 😉

  11. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 29 days ago

    Away from teh Rooney/Ramsey replacement conversation....I've kneejerked that one.

    Vardy > Aguero for a hit this week or wait a GW? DOn't want to miss his inevitable big haul at somepoint.

  12. noMoreInternationalBreaks

    Bench clyne or welbeck??

    1. Patty

    Which 1 out of these?

    A. Rooney to Dzeko
    B. Rooney to Aguero and Moreno to Moore (-4)
    C. Rooney to Aguero, Chester to Moore and Hazard to Silva (-8)

    1. Darth_Newdar

  14. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
    12 years, 29 days ago

    Which of these teams would win:

    Best of Bundesliga:

    Neuer

    Lahm/Boateng/Dante/Hummels

    Scwheinsteiger/Muller/Gotze

    Ribery/Lewandowzki/Robben

    Best of EPL:

    DDG

    Terry/Rojo/Kompany

    Di Maria/Blind/Fabregas/Herrera/Rooney

    RvP/Costa

    1. emperikal
      12 years, 29 days ago

      EPL IMO

      1. emperikal
        12 years, 29 days ago

        Well... Probably not actually 😆

      2. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
        12 years, 29 days ago

        Yeah Lahm and Hummels probably better than Terry and Komps but other than that...

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 29 days ago

      The best of EPL is full of some relegation threatened sides players?

      1. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
        12 years, 29 days ago

        It's mostly our players.

      12 years, 29 days ago

      DDG, Rojo, Blind, Rooney, RVP. 😆 United fan? 😉

      1. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
        12 years, 29 days ago

        I was as unbiased as possible. Went for Costa over Falcao

    3. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 29 days ago

      Bayern Munich

      1. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
        12 years, 29 days ago

        Yeah, quite a few of their players. My favourite German team.

    4. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 29 days ago

      Draw.
      Bundesliga win on penalties 🙂

      1. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
        12 years, 29 days ago

        It's very close, I'll give you that

    5. Demí
      12 years, 29 days ago

      Only 7 United players? Clearly a bitter abu

      1. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
        12 years, 29 days ago

        Wanted Falcao and Carrick too but I'd have been accused of biased by the bitter abu losers

        1. FISSH
          12 years, 28 days ago

          CARRICK!? LOL

    6. SW6

    7. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 29 days ago

      Clearly the Bundesliga( Bayern + Hummels- great research!!) team, they don't have Terry & Rooney - Simples.

      1. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
        12 years, 29 days ago

        Wazza is team EPL captain. Terry a weakness, granted.

        1. Gnu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          12 years, 29 days ago

          Joey Barton for Blind.. THEN you have a team!

      bundesliga in protest of rojo making it

      1. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
        12 years, 29 days ago

        Evans too injury prone though.

        1. applebonkers
          • Has Moderation Rights
          12 years, 29 days ago

          if rojo was any good he wouldnt be at man utd, simple as that sadly

    9. pundit of punts

      No Reus,Aguero,Yaya? 🙄

      1. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
        12 years, 29 days ago

        Not heard of this Reus fella so he can't be that good. Yaya in for Fabregas maybe. And Aguero in for Costa if it means that much too you

    10. Optimus.
      12 years, 29 days ago

      Nice work again Poseidon..Keep reeling them in 😀

      Rojo > Cahill
      Blind > Silva
      Herrera > Yaya Toure
      Rooney > Hazard/Sanchez
      RVP > Aguero
      DDG > Courtios

      you poor misguided Man U Fan

      1. Patty
        12 years, 29 days ago

        Dante > Alaba
        Ribery > Reus

      2. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
        12 years, 29 days ago

        Guess how I know you're a bitter abu.

        Given I'm the one with 20 titles I think we'll go with mine.

  15. Kudo Warrior
    12 years, 29 days ago

    Are we seriously saying the best replacement for Rambo is Chadli?

    1. emperikal
      12 years, 29 days ago

      *Tadic

      1. Kudo Warrior
        12 years, 29 days ago

        Seems to be a bit of an Adebayor, has so much chance to get points but never does!

    2. Declan
      12 years, 29 days ago

      Silva

      1. Kudo Warrior
        12 years, 29 days ago

        Silva hasn't been amazing at all/ He's been lucky if anything.

        1. Declan
          12 years, 29 days ago

          as has ADM

          1. Parm
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            12 years, 29 days ago

            Those two shot assists and the free-kick were genius!

          2. Kudo Warrior
            12 years, 29 days ago

            Di Maria offers so much more, though. Very explosive when he's on the boil.

            1. Declan
              12 years, 29 days ago

              Grand, Silva is shite.

    3. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights

      pretty much the greatest time in fpl history right now

      1. Kudo Warrior

        What a time to be alive!

    4. copps
      12 years, 29 days ago

      fabregas

      1. Kudo Warrior

      I.e Tadic is the best but also the shittest?

        Ignoring Welback as he is truly a donkey.

        It's a real glass half full/ half empty table. Either they are due, or are not very good at scoring.

        I like to think its because they are due. Pelle was previously riding high in this. Arfield has been there an age though.

          Hoping for a Stoke win to nil.

      I hope he doesn't because I have Elliot also elliot might increase the chances of a clean sheet.
      However if I learnt anything from the World Cup - Krul should be brought on as a sub if there is any penalties....

    Ramsey--->Ozil/Fab/Silva already have Tadic

    or just play Downing against QPR and have 2FTs for GW8?

  20. QPR expects... glory!

    Gut feeling - the Citeh striker to have next weekend will be Jovetic.

    Ready for saturday fella's ? De Gea. PVA / Clyne / Lovren. Di maria / Siggy / Sterling / Schneiderlin. Costa (C) / Pelle / Aguero (VC). Feedback apprciated. Took an -8 hit 10 minutes ago for Ramsey , Rooney & Wilshere out . Aguero, Sterling and Cattermole in ! ??

  25. rickardinho
    12 years, 29 days ago

    Who will score more?

    A) Gerrard (WBA, qpr)
    B) Downing (QPR, bur)

    Downing has better stats apart from not taking penalty's, but Liverpool have a great run of fixtures and Stevie G is a bps magnet...

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      12 years, 29 days ago

      B easily

    Ramsey could be out for a month. Arteta out for 3 weeks. Wilshere a doubt for their CL game. It never ends http://t.co/qF5CdKOKQo

      Walcott to be rushed back maybe.
