After assessing the Defenders and Midfielders’ form over the last four Gameweeks, our next members’ article now casts an eye over the frontmen. With Sergio Aguero owners likely to need a new replacement as a result of his hamstring injury, we delve into the data to highlight a number of in-form protagonists.
He's first choice atm.
Rose will start some day though
People going on about fixtures to help them make decsions, where have you been this season?!
They understand reversion to norm.
Rose Rose?
Ruddy ruddy?
Ayew Ayew?
Yaya yaya
Kolo... kolo?
Djemba-Djemba djemba-djemba?
This!
good one
Andre Andre
Chances of Hazard dropping tonight or by end of week?
Based on his performances I wouldn't be surprised if he was dropped at the weekend 😉
Don't joke about that you're scaring me
What's the best option to replace Aguero?
A: KDB and a 7.9 forward (Vardy?)
B: Pellé and a 10.1 midfielder (Mata?)
A
Pelle and KdB? Who are you selling from your mid?
I'm selling Aguero and a 5.1 midfielder, so I will replace them either with option A or B, never with KDB and Pellé
I guess you have your answer!

@Parm Nice one on winning your matchup, I have to wait until tonight to see how Gates/Bell does for me, 15+ points its in the bag. Fingers crossed. 😉
Should be easy 😛
Lost my FFS matchup by a few points due to ODB doing ODB things and the Giants D letting me down, i'm 2-3 I think. 🙁Shame. :/ I have ODB myself, at least he made up for Cobb being nonexistent in Fantasy terms. 😉
That's two weeks in a row for Cobb now with next to no fantasy points. Still banged up a little?
Probably, to be fair as their main main he must have been covered out of the game too. Hopefully once he's fully healthy his returns will increase.
Chargers, BYE, @Broncos, @Panthers.
Schedule is tough though, i'd be a tad worried.It'll be grand... 😎 I hope...
Have a front 3 of Aguero, Martial, Pelle
The plan is to do Aguero -> Costa this week and then in GW11 I'll use my WC to bring in Lukaku
Or should I just bring in Lukaku this week?Bring him in now so you dcan have a choice at gw11 to play it or not
I have Mané already, do I go for:
A) Pellé (double up)
B) CostaPelle
This easily
Aaaaa
Pelle
Don't over think it too much, remember the people who were put off getting Vardy because of Mahrez. Look how that worked out last GW!
Pick the players you think will score well.Generally very good advice
Why doesn't Walcott have an Oop on the watchlist?
Good point. Think they've forgotten about that indicator.
Keep it secret from the casuals.
I'm the ultimate casual and I already know
Check your comment history.
What about it?
Casuals have 20 pages or less.
I want people to have low expectations for me, don't make me look above average
2267 posts in the last 30 days. Impressive
Some say impressive
Some say get a life 😀I had up to 5340 at times this season
He was banned for a period as well. 😀
😀
Check my fpl history
You're beating most of the site.
Most of the site is above 500k still?
More than half the FFS league is behind you.
Let's face it, the FFS league has a lot a casuals...
Stats are very helpful but they dont always tell the bigger picture. Classic example can be derived from the master Doos himself.
Earlier He chose Kouyate over Payet due to better stats- That gw payet went on to score 2goals and has been clicking nicely from there
Last gw he chose Sterling over KDB due to inferior stats- KDB got a 16 pointer
Not to forget the selling of Kun before his big haul. get what im saying.Stats are useful, but more of an added consideration behind making a decision tbh
Football can be an unpredictable game.
That being said, Doos' stats have helped me a lotYeah i admire his work. but sometimes you gotta go with gut instincts and common sense over stats
True enough, not always predictive of what will happen.
But he did use them to get the likes of Pelle, Mahrez at the start (?I think), captain Sanchez for his haul etc.Yeap he provides a lot of useful stats which are beneficent to many. my point is you shouldnt solely base your transfer decisions on stats
for examle im deciding to get Costa this gw. he may not have the best of stats but we know he;s a top striker and could get a nice haul his gw
I think you misunderstand the use of stats. They don't predict points and individual GW will bring large scores based purely on luck. Aguero has had more GW with 5 SoT without a single goal than 5 from 5.
I barely look at stats. The actual games and even MOTD are enough for me.
The only stats that matter are goals, assists and chances created.
Both Payet and KDB were top last season and this season. No coincidence.
Its really not rocket science haha
Butland / McCarthy
Kolarov / Cedric / Francis / Nyom / Evans
Sanchez / KDB / Coutinho / Mahrez / Fletcher
Aguero / Martial / Berahino
1ft 0.2itb
Aguero has to go and I'm fed up with Coutinho so happy to take the hit of -4
Should I go the obvious Pelle & Payet or anyone like to suggest something different?Go with mane and Pelle, if you don't fancy a double up then payet.
Go the obvious and sleep well.
Thinking Chelsea could finally turn things around, who to get?
A) Costa
B) Hazard
C) Azpi
D) NoneI got A in for Aguero 🙂
Kept that quiet.
I'm going to say BC because I have them
I read this as
"I'm going to say because because I have them"lol lol
Hazard
Costa
Azpi
in that orderD
D
D
in that order😉 great order
A
Thank god Vardy wont have to face such a good defence as the Lithuanian in FPL.
Will Th'Ox ever be able to secure a regular starting spot with the Gunners this season?
When injuries take their toll.
... until he himself is injured...
Such is the natural order of things.
Unlikely, don't think he's good enough right now
Really? He always looks decent to me.
Doesn't score enough
Don't think that will happen any time soon after 8 goals in 2 games for arsenal
Lukaku, Sturridge or Martial?
(Have Pelle & Vardy)
Sturridge
Lukaku, though all are decent picks.
Romelu
Sturridge - can always switch to Lukaku when the inevitable injury occurs. Much easier than finding the extra funds to upgrade to Sturridge later.
What is best goalie combo for next 10 GW?
Myhill and Hennessey?
Myhill and Elliot
People are saying Elliot might not even be 2nd choice after Krul.
As far as I know the other keeper has an ankle injury too so that leaves Elliot with great fixtures 🙂
Aye, but it's a short term injury by the looks of it.
Is it that Freddie Woodman guy? They are getting him back from on loan to Crawley Town but not sure he's above Elliot.
No idea tbh. It's just what I've seen people saying. I'm sure someone will be able to weigh in on this,
Karl Darlow is their 2nd choice Gk apparently
Quite possible
You don't want to sort out your 4.0 gk with transfers lafter on, might aswell avoid now.
Later*
True and I would not be bringing in until I hear more. Could be gold though!
Goalkeepers - pick two at random and hope for the best. Little rhyme or reason.
Is it possible to revert back to being a casual after being on here? Do you think you could do it?
No. I'd probably just stop playing.
This, I can't do things half-arsed
Nah, they've got us now. No escape. No surrender.
I think this is it. Impossible.
Yes. I'd say its possible.
Do you not think you'd be slightly tempted to load this site up on a Friday night?
Definitely. But maybe not so much on Friday evening.
I prefer the deadzone atmosphere.
I think people deliberately get themselves banned to free themselves of FFS addiction. Its the easiest way out than quiting.
Evs tried and ultimately failed!
Unless you stop watching football it's very hard to become a casual, stats etc. can only do so much
Probably. I don't care much for the FPL advice on here, just like the football chit-chat.
You asked an FPL question below..
It was a joke... I hope
His comment is actually true for me. I can't remember the last time I asked for advice. In fact it may be never.
ditto
True enough.
I've never seen an Epic Fail RMT.
Do you play FPL or just come on for the craic?I like the community, so that is my main reason for coming on.
Any questions I probably would need asking, chances are someone will have asked it anyway so there's no point in asking.. At least that's how I see it. Obviously if everyone thought like that then it wouldn't work. 😀
Never been a casual. Not yet anyhoo. Brother-in-law introduced me to FPL a few years back, the day before the season kicked off. Spent 4hrs putting my team together. Hangelaand(c), clean sheet, 2bps! True story. Shite story too unsurpisingly.
You mean not logging onto this site? Does that make you a casual?
I would argue every casual out there has a decent knowledge of football they just dont take the game as seriously as we do.
Yes I get changed and slide down the pole just like Batman
Butland
Clyne Reid Gomez
Silva Coutinho Mahrez Sanchez
Aguero Gomis Martial
Subs - McCarthy Westwood Richards Targett
Silva & Aguero > KDB & Costa is what I've got my eye on
Who's best defender to bring in for Gomez?
Have 6.7m to spend so can get any defender.Got to be one of the arsenal boys surely, maybe Coleman but wait till gw11 for that
Find one that rotates well with those you have. I wouldn't look to spend your whole budget just because it's available.
Which of these players do you expect to play next GW?
A)Kompany
B)Yaya
C)Ward
D)Evans
E)AgüeroE) stop dreaming
yea you never know 🙂
E
A
B
C
D
...in that ordercheers mate
D and C
cheers, no hope for Yaya and Kompany?
Yaya maybe, had some time to rest and get back to fitness. Kompany was suppose to be fit a couple of GWs ago, now I'm afraid to say anything about him. Rumor has it that Kompany will play tomorrow though.
AB
D for about 5 minutes
C should I think
e - lolD, C and potentially B
C is a possibility
cheers fellas, got all of them so hoping for the best : /
Top three.
Which three Sunderland/Newcastle players should I get?
Lens, Janmaat, Wijaldujm (is that right).
Surely he wants three of each?
O'shea,Elliott,Wijnaldum
Eh?
Fletcher, M'Vila and Wijnaldum
Fletcher Intests me, but I worry about game time under Allardici...
Mitrovic and Cattermole should top the list. You're looking for players that are going to play as few minutes as possible.
panti lens janmaat
*Three from each team.
I'm a 100% fixtures lad.Elliot,janmaat,colocini
O'shea,fletcher,lensJesus you aren't going to get far backing a load of Newcastle defenders. Nutter.
Don't see them scoring so why not?
They can't defend to save their lives.
I based it more on price, like a rotation...of I had choose obviously I would have any of them
Follow over joke from the last page?
none
None but since your insisting, I would choose :
Elliot(price)
Janmaat(att threat)
O'shea(price)
...in that order, no point in getting mids/att as there are better options out there.Ben Arfa, Ryan Taylor, Sessegnon
This is why these two teams deserve relegating.
Sunderland - Lens, O'Shea and Fletcher
Newcastle - Janmaat, Mitrovic and Wijnaldum
😉Mitrovic is a shocking pick.
Got Vardy | Aguero | Martial
Best replacement for Kun?
1. Pelle
2. Sturridge
3. Igalo
4. Lukaku
5. Costa6. Kane
7. Bendtner
8. Suarez
9. Benzema
10. Lewangoalski
Lord Bentner
7.Sakho
9 Bony
Costa
This.
You have to go for Pelle if you don't have him. That form and those fixtures. Hello.
Let's not be silly here.....
9. PellePelle it is..
Carlton Cole
Quantity v's Quality?
Discuss.
😉either 1 month or 6 weeks, we don't know for sure
I would rather have a hat trick of crappie goals from my captain than one stunner.... Nuff said
“Even bad books are books and therefore sacred.”
I give up.. 🙂
😆
🙁
More beer wins.
This.
Sometimes I like a nice red, couple of glasses will do. Other times, I'll drink 3 litres of stomach-burning alcoholic vinegar. Depends on my mood really. And what time I have to get up in the mornin. I do hope this answers your question satisfactorily 😉
I knew that already and I agree.
This was a comment based on frequency of posts - see above.
For the record, if you take the 3 (or 5) litre wine bag out of it's very attractively packaged box, it sits comfortably on your lap throughout the whole evening - right through to breakfast in the case of the 5 ltr bag. 🙂But you knew this already Mr See.
Ah that moment when you look outside, it's bright & beautiful, the birds are beginning their morn songs, a brand new day to experience for one and all. I'd never experience such sights if I didn't stay up all night and get hammered. Drink responsibly my arse.
🙂
It aint the size of the ship that counts, its the motion of the ocean.
I just wish she'd understand 🙁
😆
Hold the Pelle transfer for tomorrow? Not gonna rise is he, and italy - norway tomorrow
Can you afford the 0.1?
yes, but do we think he will rise?
If I said yes, would you do it?
yes, it's the transfer I'm making
Want to make another one if Pelle gets injured?
People never learn.
I would hold if it's kun to Pelle your gonna be doing
it is
Unlikely to rise today. Suspect many transfers in are WC transfers.
Get out aguero and get in Costa OR get out aguero and get in pelle and KDB for a hit?
Pelle and KdB, but depends on who you are selling for kdb
When is tekers back?
who cares. sturridge is the only pool striker that should be bought
If both were on form I'd prefer Tekkers.
Brainless comment.
sturridge: best goals per minute of any liverpool player in history. when fit he was the second best striker in the league, behind suarez, but most consistent.
And how will it affect Sturridges position given Klopp likes to play with one up front?
I think Sturridge will be moved to the right as Pool don't have any wingers with Benteke lone striker. It'll work out IMO, Ibe is Pool's only winger so they'll need pace and experience on the flanks which Sturridge has
No idea when he's back btw.
Thanks
I think it'll be;
------------ Sturridge
Coutinho -- Firmino -- Ibe
personally.
Anyone else hate non sequiturs
Also blunt shears.
I like a nice chocolate muffin.
Used ft on pedro > sanchez
sanchez mata payet mahrez redmond
aguero martial vardy
A) aguero & redmond out, kdb & pelle in for -8
B) aguero out, kane in
C) deactivate account as already have kolarov and evans injured as wellA or C.
A.....never give up!!!, we need the average to be low......joking
A
Why sell Redmond when he has Newcastle.
Best AVL attacker for one week punt?
Gestede.
Ah good one 😉
Gestede!🙂
On your marks
...
Go+1 for that 🙂
People are actually concerned about a player going up 0,1 when they're selling Aguero?
Greed is the number one FPL deadly sin.
This 🙂
High risk
Going to do Trolkaku in for Kun regardless of next two fixtures which leaves me 5.1 itb to get Westwood out for 9.6mid which I then could drop Lukaku in GW10 v tricky away fixture v Arsenal.thoughts?
Stekelenburg
Kolarov Evans Williams (Darmian, Gomez)
Sanchez Payet Mahrez KDB (Westwood)
Lukaku Pelle VardyI still prefer Costa as a Kun replacement...
It's between Costa and Lukaku and due to Lukaku on pens I think he's better value at this stage
DO NOT SELL LUKAKU AFTER 1 GAME
DO NOT BUY LUKAKU EVER
I am buying in 2 weeks
😥Do not Captain Lukaku ever but worth a go surely Ober the next 4-6 weeks
I wouldn't sell just drop to bench maybe.
wouldn't do that either
Do it! He will score a natty this week end
Hatty*
You have same front 8 as me at present. 🙂
So you are going g for Lukaku too
wait Lukaku and Evans in the same team?
you sick sick masochistic bar stewardHahaha
8 years, 7 months agoAnyone know the status of Ben Davies? Think he will start next game or wil rose finally replace him?
