There’s no doubt Eden Hazard has been one of the biggest disappointments during the opening four Gameweeks of the campaign. Last season’s PFA Player of the Year was handed an 11.5 price tag in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) this summer, but with just a single assist so far, has seen his value drop to 11.4, with over 592,000 FPL bosses transferring out the Belgian since the start of the season.

After averaging 6.1 points per appearance in 2014/15, that figure is down to 2.5 points per outing in the early days of the new season. With Chelsea’s star man once again in the top five for transfers out this week, tonight’s members article compares his statistics to the previous one as we look to see why the Belgian is struggling to scale the heights of Chelsea’s title-winning campaign.

    Cech (Krul)
    Cedric - Azpi - Clyne (Huth) (O`shea)
    Hazard - Ozil - Mahrez - Yaya (Wanyama)
    Kun (c) - Gomis - Wilson

    Have 1ft.

    a> Save
    b> Azpi -> Kolarov
    c> Other good suggestions?

    11 years, 2 months ago

    How about this for next GW for free:

    Yaya and Whittaker > Sako and Kolarov

    My three City players would then be Kompany, Kolarov and Kun.

    1. Ser Davos
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I like the look of that, particularly if Aguero get's up and running. City's midfield points are getting rather spread atm.

      1. Ser Davos
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Although Sako v double City defence this week is not ideal...

  3. The Train Driver
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Would low to have a low owned player, what do you think of Depay > KDB!

    1. Epic Fail
      11 years, 2 months ago

      KDB is in my team.

    2. Joggers Nipple
      11 years, 2 months ago

      If you can Depay to Silva would do that first, easy move to KDB if on fire

      1. Epic Fail
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Surely it's better to have KDB for his debut hattrick than after it?

        1. Gooner Kebab

          🙂

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I'd prefer to wait.

      But then that's what I did pre-season with Mahrez 🙁

    Wilmots- "Hazard was the worst player on the pitch "

      actually not the exact quote. -" Worst player on the night "

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Because Rooney is not on the pitch.

        true dat

    3. Eze Really?
      11 years, 2 months ago

      He did light up the last world cup either. His form will return though. He just too good not to.

    Phew...tried to go through Ruth's posts and comments..halfway through 1st post and I already feel tired 😯

    1. C-Dawgg
      11 years, 2 months ago

      You can go through 10 RMT's instead if you like, let us all know which is more fun.

      1. Zombie
        11 years, 2 months ago

        10 RMTs are like 1 long reply to his post and wayyyy less of work than his post 🙂

    2. Diva

      Need more infographics? 😀

      1. Zombie
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe a word cloud or sentiment analysis 😆

    3. Puyol Pants Up
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I read the first line of the post and just ignored it. Banning RMT's is like banning football crowds.

      1. Pasqualinho
        11 years, 2 months ago

        The second line of the post is better.

        1. Zombie

          😆

      2. Zombie
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Well, while I agree that it gets frustrating around here on Fridays and Saturdays - I won't ban them.

        Now-a-days, if I have to ask, I ask for suggestions after pressies on Thursday and keep it very short - only the players I am contemplating buying or selling

    4. THE Wild Rover

      Funny how people accuse him of attention seeking then keep giving him attention..

  6. Doolittle

    Morning all, haven't really been keeping up with the internationals, have I missed any significant injuries?

    1. THE Wild Rover
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Not seen any prem players reported injured

      1. AA
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Thought Diouf missed a game due to injury.

        1. THE Wild Rover
          11 years, 2 months ago

          I said I've not seen any, not that there weren't any 😉

    2. Shifty
      11 years, 2 months ago

      nothing has changed really.

      Hazard Rooney still crap.
      Silva still good.
      Pelle getting jammy deflected goals.
      Walcott trolling.

      Business as usual.

      1. Gooner Kebab
        11 years, 2 months ago

        KDB?

        1. Shifty
          11 years, 2 months ago

          impressive performance for Belgium, according to reports.

          Tbh I haven't watched any of the goals from the internationals except Malaysia's 10-0 humiliation (lol @ nabil)

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            11 years, 2 months ago

            Do you need to mention that? 🙁

            Our football is at an all-time low. Heck even our youth team is trashed by yours. Nothing will change as long as the monkeys are still at the helm.

            1. dmhomag

              Monkeys as in your PM?

              1. Shifty
                11 years, 2 months ago

                😆 the 10-0 was probably a token of appreciation for the $700mil.

                tough to be a Malaysian these days.

                1. NABIL - FPL otai
                  11 years, 2 months ago

                  1-1 against Timor Leste

                  0-6 against war-torn Palestine

                  0-10 against petrodollar rising UAE

                  We better stick to badminton rackets.

                    Badminton rackets? Who will be the successor for LCW? I think we are shite at everything now 🙁

                        Always lose to Thailand for many years. I cannot recall when was the last time we won against Thailand.

              2. NABIL - FPL otai
                11 years, 2 months ago

                Nope. The ones handling FAM (our FIFA). The royalties should stay clear of it.

                1. Gooner Kebab
                  11 years, 2 months ago

                  Dont think it's the royalties or makhluk halus are the cause of FAM decline.

                2. dmhomag
                  11 years, 2 months ago

                  I live in the region. To be fair, there isn't a proper professional league in the entire region for players aspiring to achieve a decent professional standard of football.

    3. dmhomag
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Depay still useless.

    4. Zombie
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Well, Benteke and mahrez played last night

    5. Doolittle
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks all!

    6. Wouter
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Depay and Blind were useless too, in case you were wondering.

      1. dmhomag
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Blind senior or junior?

  7. PlayPercentage
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Any news on Benteke?
    Players are usually subbed at half time if they have picked up an injury, or playing really poorly.

    1. Valar(Keith)
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Wilmots confirmed there was no injury.. he also confirmed he was poor and hence why he was removed

      1. PlayPercentage
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe Benteke was poor because he is carrying an injury?
        This doesn't look good to me.

    2. Epic Fail
      11 years, 2 months ago

      The manager said him and Hazard were crap.

  8. Ser Davos
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Payet!

    What's everyone's Payet plans? On the surface, it seems an obvious scenario that if he blanks then everyone will sell post NEW and pre mci, but following that is NOR and sun.

    Bit of a tricky one in my mind.

    1. NOMONEY
      11 years, 2 months ago

      selling if he blanks again, and id be tempted to go with sakho post mci

    2. Eze Really?
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Well he can't go bad in one GW.
      He is still the main man at W Ham.

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Tricky indeed.

      If he fails on MNF i will surely sell because of impending transfer trend, if not I'd hold onto since I got Jenk, Haz and Pelle to worry too.

    4. Dimitris1993
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Not just in your mind i think 😛 . althought i will sell if he blanks this gw ... ayew and sako seem to be points magnets right now.

    5. Our Man Charlie
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Possible change for Kouyate extra cash could be useful and still have a decent mid IMO of course

    6. Ser Davos
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, Sako seems a potential option post MCI for him. Enjoyed watching him during Wolves' recent renaissance.

      No route to Pedro atm.

    When will we see delivery like this from Memphis, in the league

    2. pompeyfan
      11 years, 2 months ago

      He has delivered some crosses already but yeah hopefully will get more like that very soon.

      I've decided against selling him, keeping again..

    How many of you are going with Aguero as captain?

    Thinking a punt on Mahrez.

    1. Ser Davos
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I've just switched to Sanchez.

    2. Shifty
      11 years, 2 months ago

      still on Aguero for me. Chadli vc.

      1. The Man Pastore
        11 years, 2 months ago

        same here

    3. Zombie
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez as of now but also contemplating Aguero, Mahrez, Ayew, Kolarov

    4. kalmoffit
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Still Aguero. Not going to try predicting where his goals will come, but that they will.

    5. TwiggsJameson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Argentina play Wednesday, so i'm not sure I'd want to risk an Aguero captaincy.

      1. Kings of Lyon ★
        11 years, 2 months ago

        He scored 4 vs Spurs last year after just coming back from HK not a bad shout

        1. Paul Huckin

          11 years, 2 months ago

          He was on the pitch about 10 mins in HK against a pub team. Who are they playing this Weds?

  11. THE Wild Rover

    1. Epic Fail

      What's changed? I'm logged on and it looks the same for me.

      1. Ser Davos
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Well, it's got "Preview" in brackets so perhaps it's a beta version but the graphics have changed and on first glance it doesn't quite flow as before. I'll reserve judging too much.

        1. Epic Fail
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Ahhh I see. Maybe it hasn't rolled out to everyone yet.

    Didn't really get a big response

    Goodmorning!

    I'm looking for the most sensible move to do
    Got 2FT and 0.2ITB

    Myhill, Butland
    Bellerin, Targett, Richards, Darmian, Kompany
    Sanchez, Surman, Redmond, Payet, Silva
    Kun, Diouf, Gomis

    A) Safe
    B) Darmian, Myhill -> Fabianski, Dawson or Mignolet, Naughton
    C) Free cash Kompany -> Kollarov
    E) Payet -> Chadli or Shaqiri or Ayew to free cash

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      11 years, 2 months ago

      C

    2. Joggers Nipple
      11 years, 2 months ago

      C and then look at Targett

    3. Tshelby
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Or Payet and Kompany to Fellaini and Kolarov to free more money

    Pinocchio says "My nose will grow now!"

      I'd look to move one of Benteke Ritchie Yaya or Deeney. Mahrez, Wilson, Ayew/Gomis and an alternative City mid could be on the agenda. Just feel as if the arrival of KDB will reduce Yaya's attacking role, the others are out of form.

      1. Billy Gilmore

      GK: Obviously you haven't read my previous comments.

      Defense: Template Uber defense, looks like you just copy and pasted from the herd.

      Midfield: Pretentious, pedantic, self-centered and honestly a cry for help if I ever saw one.

      Attack: Long-winded but lacks imagination or genuinely unique thought. If you want people to listen to you, maybe you should try listening to them better instead of talking so loud you can't hear anyone else except your own bloody echo.

      1. ducksfly2gether
        11 years, 2 months ago

        This is my favorite post I've seen on this site. Well done. Would love a critique on my team:

        Courtois McCarthy
        Kolarov clyne gomez huth targett
        Mahrez Yaya Hazard Mane Ayew
        Aguero Diof Wilson

        Thanks

        1. Heels_Over_Head
          11 years, 2 months ago

          That's quite kind of you. I hope you'll see better soon though 🙂

          GK: Cool. Monitor Speroni coming back on McCarthy, but no real reason to sell since Jose should right the ship and you should be able to play Courtois weekly.

          Def: You'll need to ditch the Liverpool double up in about three weeks or so, but no hurry there with their fixtures. Targett is about to lose his place. If you have the money and you're feeling bold, look to Janmaat for week 6 and his run from week 9.

          Midfield: Watch the games this week and think about Haz & Yaya. If Haz isn't hitting stride yet, those funds could be used better elsewhere. With KDB in the fold, Yaya may be further out of the loop, may be wise to switch to one of Sterling/KDB/Silva (I'm in the same boat with you there). Lastly, you should downgrade one of your mids to Westwood or Fletcher at 4.5 to free up some cash if you're usually playing 3-4-3. Will give you more flexibility.

          Forwards: There's rumors that Diouf didn't play for Senegal due to an injury but its hard to find much on Google about the Senegal Namibia match. He has plum fixtures weeks 6 to 11, so as long as he's back by 6, that's alright. Wilson, keep for his run, then flip after week 8 to someone else while the profits are good.

          Hope that helps.

    I've lost faith in captaining the big hitters because it clearly hasn't worked out so far.. But surely, surely Aguero or Sanchez are going to be worth it this week.

    Have they genuinely locked responses to Ruth's post? Just searched for ages for it and wanted to comment only to find that I couldn't. I was going to say something along the lines of yes, RMTs get on my wick too but you're waaaay too bothered by it.

    He does have a point about one thing, though, and the locking of responses to the post just highlights it even more. How in the world was the OP not a hot topic? andy85wsm a few days ago wanted to find a new computer game for himself and hey presto, a hot topic is created. Ruth_NZ actually wants to discuss fantasy football and, moreover, the impact of this site on fantasy football. He may be long winded, opinionated etc etc. but he got the community talking and raised some interesting discussion points.

    1. Zombie

      let it be...I don't think anything more can be said on the topic which isn't already been said

    2. John t penguin

      there have been many sub comments that have continued the discussion

      1. John t penguin
        11 years, 2 months ago

        and andy having a new game had bigger influence on my life so that's why I made it hot topic

    3. Puyol Pants Up

      Agreed, Although I disagree with the whole post it 100% should be a hot topic.

      Lucy's Birthday was the one hot topic that frustrated me the most. Silly.

      1. Zombie

        Totally agreed. I never understood why was that a hot topic

      2. John t penguin

        lucy had a birthday?
        was there a party? cause I never got invited

          1. John t penguin
            11 years, 2 months ago

            the irony that the first sentence in hot topics is about sorting out the RMT issue

              I definitely thought so. I can understand letting folks know that it's my birthday but from the FFS team side, I didn't understand the need of making it a hot topic

      I've emailed Ruth about why it wasn't hot topiced. I don't want to go into too much detail about that as that is between that poster and us. But I will say it wasn't because it was controversial. Each of the points raised - Should RMTs be banned and Transfer behaviour - as in the reasons why we make transfers, were hot topic worthy. But it was the way it was presented meant we couldn't hot topic it. It was neither one thing nor another. There were some really good comments made. But alot of the comments were just about the length and tone of the original comment and the actual Fantasy Football discussion was getting lost. I've locked replies now as it is becoming difficult for us to moderate all the negative posts about that poster. From a moderation point of view we could go through and spend time moderating out those negative comments -but that would give the wrong impression of how that post was actually being received. We could just delete the whole thing - but that's not fair on those that spent time putting their views across.

      There are other factors that I don't want to go into here about why that post was a concern.

      1. Heels_Over_Head

        You're a good man doing a hard job for all of us kind sir. Thank you.

      2. Zombie
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I understand Jonty why that wasn't a hot topic. Also, he posted 3 big posts almost around the same thing - and one of them was a hot topic so I don't see the need of making another hot topic on the same issue

        1. J0E
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Yep, its tricky for us to let everyone on the site know the reasons for every decision that is made. But sometimes like on this one there is enough interest to try our best to let you know some of the reasons. It wouldn't be fair on the poster concerned for us to give anymore detail.

      3. invertebrate
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 2 months ago

        That's completely fair, Jonty. Having now read the responses I can see it would have been a moderation nightmare. It's a shame Ruth has garnered the kind of reputation whereby the manner in which he posts is dissected more than the content. Hopefully he can adjust his style without losing his obvious passion (some may say obsession) for the game.

        Sorry for posting this comment. I hadn't realised just how big an issue it had become on here but flipping back through a few pages I can see it was a bit pointless me saying anything. I'll get back to stressing over my final few UFPL transfers.

          That's the spirit. I'll be looking out for those posts - got seven UFPL transfers of my own to decide on.

            Same here. Are you also thinking that with eight transfers you could you make the perfect team?

        I think it's good you posted this for clarity, you're spot on in your decision not to make this a hot topic.

        With the tone of it all (post plus many comments and replies) I was actually a little surprised it wasn't all taken down, I think you made the right decision though.

        Love the site and keep up the fantastic work.

      I know it's already been addressed below but just for reference hot topics aren't mutually exclusive, just because one gets one one week doesn't mean it will again.

      I wanted to create a bit of discussion on a slow weekend with an international break. I considered going for something a bit more off-topic as I've seen games being discussed a few times and it always gets met with several responses.

      There was a very low (if not no) amount of negative responses so I think it went down okay. If that's not the case let me know and we can review for future reference.

      But as for what gets a hot topic and what doesn't - that varies on each post.

      Think not! Palace look very good, I'd be surprised if they didn't score

      I think last week was a special case. I wouldn't recommend it this week Zombie.

  19. Cobby
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Hey, lads one question here.
    If you had to choose player for long term.Pedro or De Bruyne?
    Thank you always!

    1. Zombie
      11 years, 2 months ago

      KdB hasn't played yet so can't say. Let him play and gel with his new team mates, see where he plays and how he pans out in league this time

    2. skeanos
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Well we have seen a grand total 0 minutes of KDB at City so no one here can tell you that.

      1. Cobby
        11 years, 2 months ago

        According to over all stats.I know it's impossible to tell at this point.
        Just generally speaking who is better player you think.

        1. skeanos
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Pedro because I don't rate KBD and have never seen the hype. Won't be playing in the same position either.

    3. RustyBz
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Neither are the best choice for their respective teams (long term).

      I'd go Pedro just because you may want to have a couple more city MIDs/FWDs in the future whilst you'd prob only want one of Hazard/Costa longer term

    4. C-Dawgg
      11 years, 2 months ago

      A quick look at the member tables tell me that this season in the prem KDB has had 0 shots in the box and created 0 key chances. He also has 0 touches in the opponents half and has played 0 minutes.

      Based on the data so far it's gotta be Pedro.

  20. John t penguin
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I bet you there is a new poster that nobody really knows about called RMT
    and he has come on here and seen all these comments about hating RMT and banning RMT
    poor guy

    1. Paulie Walnuts
      11 years, 2 months ago

      yes

    2. TokyoRed 東京赤
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 2 months ago

      But I bet this spurs him on to become the greatest fantasy player of all time. Then he'll come back on here and ask what we think of RMT now.

      And get ignored.

  21. KeepCalm
    11 years, 2 months ago

    i agree. there needs to be a separate RMT section so we can get proper help in fixing our teams

    and opinions matter

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      11 years, 2 months ago

      If there was a separate RMT section, you would get little to no help.

      1. Epic Fail
        11 years, 2 months ago

        They could maybe continue the live RMT podcast which will be based on that separate section.

      2. J0E
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Lots of advice was given on our separate pre season RMT section, with lots of our moderators and contributors as well as the community taking time out to do that. We also dedicated some summer Scoutcasts solely to answering RMTs that were left there.

        1. KeepCalm
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah I'm sure I'll go and give advice just like I would like opinions on my own team

          It could work

  22. RustyBz
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Still unsure if I should hold both Pelle & Benteke this week. No other real pressing concerns.

    Get rid of one of them? Potentially for Gomis (already own Ayew), Wilson or Diouf...

    1. Paulie Walnuts
      11 years, 2 months ago

      hold for one week sir

  23. Paulie Walnuts
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Am i right that you do not get a free transfer for the internationals week?

    1. Epic Fail
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Nothing changes because of the international week. The game still continues from Gameweek to gameweek.

  24. RustyBz
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Kane to bag himself some points this weekend. I would be bringing him in if it wasn't for the 0.1M missing from my bank...

    1. La Roja
      11 years, 2 months ago

      meh

    2. skeanos
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Would only ever have Chadli personally.

      1. RustyBz
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Real shortage of premium striker at the moment. A couple of goals and some form for Spurs and he will be worth it

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I'm monitoring him as well. I like him as an option during GW11 WC.

  25. karvs155
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Current team, 1FT and 0,6 ITB. What to do??

    Panti (Schwarzer)
    Azpi Kolarov Cedric (Huth, 4.0)
    Haz Ozil Mahrez Chadli (Fletcher)
    Aguero Benteke Sakho

    1. kalmoffit
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Monitor Panti, Ozil, Azpi, Benteke and Sakho. Lose a couple of them.

  26. John t penguin
    11 years, 2 months ago

    what if we all agree to change it to Ruth My Team

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I would be on board with that 😆

    2. Heels_Over_Head

      Only if he does what you told him to and shows us proof 😉

      1. John t penguin

        what qualifies as proof

        1. Heels_Over_Head

    Benteke owners, you sticking for his tasty home fixtures even though he has no form whatsoever?

    I I am considering a switch to Gomis..

    1. RustyBz
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Same dilemma here AZ.

      I feel like if I keep, he won't produce over the next 3. If I get rid, he will troll me.

      1. Az
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        11 years, 2 months ago

        He doesn't look right in the Liverpool system and was dreadful for Belgium. He's a confidence player and think he's low on it atm.

        Might make the switch...

        1. RustyBz
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Agree. I'm holding on to the fact that he is a proven PL striker with goals in him, so should be a matter of time...I also got some hope that he will be on penos whilst Henderson is out.

          If I didn't own Ayew I'd prob be making the swtich now, so I'll prob hold at least until after the next home fixture

    2. skeanos
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Do you have Ayew? If so people tend to not double up (although I have). If not then yea. Don't see goals in Liverpool at all. Zero chemistry.

      1. Az
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Nope no swans atm!

        1. skeanos
          11 years, 2 months ago

          I think you should do it then although I guess it depends on the rest of your team. Swans have nice fixtures. Though I guess pool do too after united.

    3. Kurtinho

      Sticking. He'll come good.
