While Gameweek 15 is shaping up to be one to forget for many Fantasy managers, our analysis of the weekend’s statistics for members offers some insight to distract us, notably the growing influence of Yannick Bolasie and West Ham’s efforts to maximise the formidable weapon that is Andy Carroll.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Foster
    Baines, Naylor, Ivanovic
    Hazard, Sanchez, Yaya, Siggy, Boyd
    Costa(c), Benteke

    McCarthy, Moore, Saylor, Austin

    Thanx in advance.

      You're G2G

    2. Sarnab
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Nice team

    3. Man Chest Hair United
      11 years, 10 months ago

      like it a lot. big TV?

      1. Man Chest Hair United
        11 years, 10 months ago

        WC?

  4. The Man Pastore
    11 years, 10 months ago

    A) Aguero/Siggy --> Bony/Yaya

    Leaves me with:

    Hazard Yaya Sanchez Downing BOYD
    Costa BONY Austin

    OR

    B) Aguero/Boyd --> Sakho/Yaya

    Leaves me with:

    Hazard Yaya Sanchez Downing SIGGY
    Costa SAKHO Austin

    First option playing 3-4-3, second one benching one of Downing, Siggy, Sakho and Austin

  5. noMoreInternationalBreaks
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Is Boyd and kun out for yaya and sakho worth -4 (also gives benching problems)
    Or
    Just kun out for dzeko for free

    1. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I'm actually considering A, with bojan instead of Sakho.

      Bojan can play this week and then warm the bench providing a cheap first sub (4.9) with potential to score well.

      With Sakho you won't know who to bench and equally won't have the extra cash to spend

      1. Holmes
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Dont like Benteke?

        1. Scoredelario
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 10 months ago

          I just like having at least one attacking player at sub 5.0, so I can maximise my spending power

          1. Scoredelario
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            11 years, 10 months ago

            (and rate Yaya as the best 'luxury' player to bring in, due to fixtures)

      2. Pompel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 10 months ago

        It's also possible to rotate Sakho with Siggy, since the latter hasn't done too well in away matches.

        1. Scoredelario
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 10 months ago

          True - this is an option. I have considered this too so let's see what happens

      3. noMoreInternationalBreaks
        11 years, 10 months ago

        So hard to pick! I can afford a drop by kun (unless he did last night) and hopefully not much changes before I can watch them midweek

  6. Paanmonkey
    11 years, 10 months ago

    repost :

    Aguero, Fab, Austin, Chambers > ??????????

    2 FT 0.2 ITB

    a. Who should be transfer out ?

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      11 years, 10 months ago

      you can keep Fabregas & Austin

      Chambers may (or may not) lose his place by the time he's back from card holiday

      Rooney & Debuchy/Evans/Jones/Naylor/Rose/Cresswell/Azpi/Terry/Clichy/Zabs

      or

      Bony/Benteke/Sakho & more premium money to spend on defense and a midfield upgrade to be named later

      1. Paanmonkey
        11 years, 10 months ago

        really hate to lose Kun..he's definitely out ?

        1. Heels_Over_Head
          11 years, 10 months ago

          he was in tears

          best case rumors are he's out only the rest of this month in which there's 5 more GWs

  7. trinzoo
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Is Sakho nailed now ?

    Thinking of Kun/Downing > Sakho/Yaya - will still have West Ham covered...

    1. HVT
      11 years, 10 months ago

      No he will be in and out a bit, Sam won't play all 3 together.

    2. FISSH
      11 years, 10 months ago

      this is my thinking, but West Ham strikers are going to be rotated

  8. HVT
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Good to go lads??
    (Krulliott)
    Azpi/Hutton/Wisdom
    Yaya/Haz/Sanchez/Siggy/Marney
    Costa(c)/Rooney.
    0ft/1.4 itb/0 hits.
    I'm thinking of keeping Krulliott, Elliott looks like missing 1 game away to arsenals it's only a 1pointer IMO and SUN at home next.

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Looks good HVT! 🙂

      1. HVT
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks mate used my 2ft last night,
        Don't want to lose value.
        I have chambers in there also, and might take a hit and play that def but I watched Marney on sat and he did alright - you never know,
        Chambers to whom long term ?
        Debbie/Cresswell/Naylor/Clichy,
        Any preferred Def till jan Innssie?

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Naylor is good value. Jenkinson looked really attacking for WHU, I think he's a great pick. You've got your chelsea defender which is good, the others I'd be interested in are Sunderland (O'Shea/Revelliere) and obviously Baines if you downgrade someone further up the pitch. If Debuchy is nailed when he's back then he'll be good value too (if Kos stays fit!).

          1. HVT
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Thanks mate yea I was impressed with Jenky yesterday too,
            Did he pull a hammy?
            Plenty to chew on tho there for next few days.

            1. President John F. Keninnsie
              11 years, 10 months ago

              Ah I forgot he got subbed 🙁 Forget that then, sorry.

    2. TorresMagic™

      11 years, 10 months ago

      I'd probably look at a GK change. Outside SUN do you see many points?

      1. HVT
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Good point, Prob not but cs are hard to predict at the best of times,
        Who would you advise TM?
        -Guzan
        -Adrian

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Not sure, will look into it later. Have the same keepers & think I can make the 4 points up in rotation. Elliot = 0 this week so there's a start.

          P.S. new keeper will get a red card.

          1. HVT
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Add foster/Mannone I suppose and it's one of those for me TM
            The ticker suggests in order
            Villa/WBA/Sun/Wham
            Mmmm panty has got me thinking home game next 3/4 cs and I recall a 5ppg lately, I already have villa/WBA cover and Adrian is dearer.
            Panty fits in for sure till jan and fits the budget.
            Thoughts?

    3. Heels_Over_Head
      11 years, 10 months ago

      upvoted for being chill and not worrying about the GK situation

      1. HVT
        11 years, 10 months ago

        🙂 I never play much emphasis on my Gk anyway as the current set up doesn't offer enough rewards points wise for me.

      2. HVT
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Oh and let's not forget the legend that is Dean Marney!
        🙂

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Very good. Austin your 3rd striker?

      1. HVT
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Yea I took the plunge last night while others are talking I just got Yaya/Costa for you know who!

  9. jaredwilliams
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I can only have one of Costa or Yaya and with City's upcoming fixtures I think I'll go Yaya with Silva in mind if he picks up his 5th YC.

    With this I have to downgrade Aguero to someone (have Rooney and Kane currently). Options are:

    a) Dzeko
    b) Benteke
    c) Bony (have Siggy and Naylor already but is my preference)

    1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I'm in a similar boat as you. While I can do Aguero to Costa and Eriksen to Yaya - I'm thinking of avoiding Costa so looking at the same three.

      Currently leaning towards Dzeko (would be Bony but I have Siggy).

  10. FISSH
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Morning all

    I guess I am quite lucky only having to worry about Aguero this gameweek, I don't mind Austin suspension because I wouldn't have fancied playing him VS Everton anyway.

    I am thinking of doing Downing > Yaya and Aguero > West Ham striker.. Is Carroll nailed on? Or shall I go for Sakho?

    1. Eze Really?
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Rotation maybe at West ham. Sam says fixtures might kill his progress.

      1. FISSH
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Yea I want a West Ham player for sure, but strikers seem to be rotated. I could get rid of Siggy but I got him at 6.0!

        1. Eze Really?
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Downing a more reliable option. I got siggy at the same price but he has gone off the boil. If not sooner rather than later Siggy will be going. It just means the price makes it permanent.

  11. mranonymous
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Dzeko Lukaku Bony forward line seem OK?

    1. FISSH
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Don't rate Lukaku, get Benteke instead

    2. HVT
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Costa/Rooney/Austin here.

  12. Abaddon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    What to do whit this team?
    Bego,gilks
    Clyne, Yun, Naylor, Moore*, Chambers*
    Fab*, Hazard, Marney, Sanchez, Siggy
    Kun* Austin* Costa

    1 ft 0.1 itb. WC available. Use wc or just take a -8 hit?

    1. FISSH
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Moore and Chambers you will want out of your team for good I think, Fab is still a good pic after one gameweek.

      If Kun is confirmed out I would consider the WC

      1. Abaddon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah. Agree about chambers and moore. In december you also need a strong bench, marney isnt really that thrilling to own 😛

  13. Pompel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Player for player definitely - but will give benching problems. If also having Austin, to make matters worse they have the same home/away pattern over Christmas - so not making it easier to bench one.

    1. Pompel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      * fail reply noMoreInternationalBreaks above 😳

      1. noMoreInternationalBreaks
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Ha cheers man. I do have Austin and Costa up top at the minute. So you're suggesting option a?

        1. Pompel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Either that, or Kun + Siggy -> Bony + Yaya

  14. Irish Madridista ⭐
    11 years, 10 months ago

    So it's come down to this..

    Bench one:

    Oscar - (HUL) -
    most expensive option, in the best team with the best fixture, erratic and unpredictable points returns, decent form.

    Siggy - (TOT) -
    plays well at home, central to team's attack, mediocre form.

    Downing - (sun) -
    Great form, team attacking well, cheapest option and playing away.

    Leaning towards Siggy/Downing.. Would appreciate thoughts 😀

    1. FISSH
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Downing for me

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 10 months ago

      RMT is pretty clear cut. Downing normally does well away.

      1. FISSH
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Siggy against old club, he will score !

      2. Irish Madridista ⭐
        11 years, 10 months ago

        RMT is suggesting Downing by a mile, but I think it's closer between him and Siggy than RMT is saying..

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          11 years, 10 months ago

          😉

          Whoever you bench will score more than the other cheap mid.

    3. President John F. Keninnsie
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I can't decide IM 😆

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Tell me about it 😛 haha

  15. Pringle
    11 years, 10 months ago

    What do you prefer?

    A. Play Marney
    B. Play Baines (-4)

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      11 years, 10 months ago

      b

    2. Chris_White

      B. Have som fun.

    3. The Man Pastore

    4. NABIL - FPL otai

  16. Scoredelario
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    3-5-2 here we come

    Yaya Sanchez Hazard Sig Downing
    Costa Austin (Bojan)

    Of course this week Bojan steps up for Austin, but he will take the Boyd role in my team.

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      11 years, 10 months ago

      snazzy midfield... gtg

      1. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Haven't made the transfers yet but that's my current thinking

    2. davies
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Thinking of doing likewise... 8 point hit, though.

  17. President John F. Keninnsie
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Will likely end up with this next GW:

    Forster
    Baines Azpi Zabaleta
    Sanchez Hazard Siggy Downing Boyd
    Costa Rooney/Bony

    Naylor Yun Austin.

    Reckon that's alright? Don't think it's worth losing one of my mids for Yaya...

    1. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Looks good. Which transfer(s) would that be?

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Aguero + Duff > Rooney/Bony + Zabaleta.

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          11 years, 10 months ago

          2FT btw.

        2. LeBron - King of Argentina
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Bony betrer than Shrek imo.

        3. Scoredelario
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah good moves.

    2. LeBron - King of Argentina
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I got Bony and look to ditch Siggy for Yaya and keep Downing.

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I'm pretty happy to keep Siggy tbh. I reckon he'll do well over the next few weeks.

        1. LeBron - King of Argentina
          11 years, 10 months ago

          So will Yaya

    3. Holmes

      Good, like Zaba punt 😛

      1. President John F. Keninnsie

        Cheers!

    4. baraka1670
      11 years, 10 months ago

      You are right at ur place but with Yaya getting back to form and no midweek game for him plus he ll be on pens now....I feel if one can afford him than should get him

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I don't know who to lose though.

        Sanchez and Hazard will obviously stay.
        Siggy and Downing have good fixtures, stats and are excellent value. And I think Boyd is the perfect 5th mid.

        😕

        1. Pompel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 10 months ago

          I would look at getting Sakho for Roo/Bony and then Boyd -> Yaya. Sakho can rotate with Siggy, since he doesn't rotate well with Austin. But if Rooney get's a haul this evening, opinion may change though

    5. Irish Madridista ⭐
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Looks good Innsie!

    6. NABIL - FPL otai

    Sergio Aguero has told friends he will be out for a month after damaging knee ligaments in Manchester City’s 1-0 win over Everton on Saturday.
    The Argentina striker is out of the decisive Champions League clash at Roma on Wednesday and also fears he will miss the next five Premier League games plus an FA Cup third round tie.

    Thats per the daily mail...

    How many weeks would you keep him out for? I picked him up at 12.1

      I got him for £12.5 so I'll be selling before his next drop.

    With Aguero injured, I can see Yaya doing what he did last season. Those close games where he is the one who pops up with a winner

      Sounds about right. He did so v everton, and almost did the same v saints until they kitchen sinked themselves in the foot.

    No official Aguero news. Just nonsense paper talk because he was crying so I'll keep for now.

    Think I will go with this:
    Heaton
    Baines, Coleman, Terry, Clyne
    Sanchez, Yaya, Sigurdssson, Downing
    Rooney, Bojan/Benteke
    Hopefully defense can get something this week -_-

      i should hope your defense will do okay 😉

      Baines/Coleman/Azpi/Zabs here

        Havent got many points from defense in last few week which is frustrating even after making that much investment 😆

    Which is better:

    Haz, Sanchez, Downing, Siggy, Yaya
    Costa, Sakho

    or
    Haz, Sanchez, Downing, Boyd, Yaya
    Costa, Lukaku
