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.
My condolences.
My condolences.
My condolences.
Good luck.
My Condolences. 😀
First rule of FPL - get nailed on players.
I think Iheanacho looks better, plus Sterling can play there too although badly.
LOL at responses
Do you think something is not right to wish you good luck?
Nothing to disagree with regarding your one. It was the condolences messages all the same which amused me.
Cheese, I don't agree with that. He's their best striker atm which may pursue Pelle to save him for the CL match. He might be hauled off at 60 odd minutes. Moreover Nancho isn't eligible for CL, which means he's a bigger threat. However, if you feel confident go ahead. Could prove to be a good differential but feel others would be better!
I am mostly messing with Slamdog my opponent in the playoffs.
Throwing the dog a bone(y)?
Hahahahaha. Is there anyway where you can see your opponents team?
Yeah his is linked to his profile. It is just fun to keep him guesing about my intentions. Which unfortunately means I cannot post it as he would likely check my profile. I am still undecided in reality
He wasn't selected for Ivory coast because he hasn't played much/not fit.
Play
a) Mignolet (Tot A)
or
b) Ruddy (New A)
*leaning ~ A*B
Cheers..
I like this Episode btw , keep it up .Will do - thanks 🙂

Hey all,
I've held on to Pedro up to this point - not getting rid prior to the last price drop. Would it be worth holding on to him for this GW against Villa - and hope he plays...or look to move him on?
2FTs for the upcoming GW - with the Aguero issue to also be resolved. Question marks over the availability of Kolarov & Diouf to boot!
Thoughts appreciatedAguero and Diouf out first for me.
Aguero no-show is a surety?
Hm?
Cheers Walsh. Your advice echoes my initial thoughts.
Looking at 2 from Pelle, Costa, Bony, Vardy, Berahino & Kane to be brought in for Aguero & Diouf.I'd narrow that down to two from Pelle, Costa, and Vardy 🙂
Cheers Walsh.
Much appreciated!
The only issue with going that way would be the lack of City coverage (no Sterling or KdB in the line-up) - apart from Kolarov.
Thoughts on this WC team? Pretty standard I know.
Myhill Henn
Bellerin Dier Dawson Dann Francis
Sanchez Mata Payet Mahrez Hoolahan
Kun Pelle VardyKun?
Is he injured? Damn I've been out for too long
Hamstring during international duty vs Ecuador, he twitted out for 4 weeks, but no official announcement yet. Could be longer than that.
Ouch. Hard luck for him. Thanks for this. I've been out of the loop (out of frustration) so this info is really helpful - cheers my man
WC to this ?
why, is it too bad?
kun out for a month
Consider : Lukaku -KDB-Coleman-Bertrand- Costa/Studgethanks man. You've been helpful
Sadio mané too 🙂
Think I prefer Mane to Mata atm.
And get Kun out! 🙂 Kun--->Sakho, and Payet--->KDB, imo.thanks Arvin
is there a scoutcast this week?
Should be.
hope so.. cheers
Who am I? (No peeking 😉 )
Amongst midfielders over the last 4 GWS:
- Top of the charts for Big Chance involvement
- Received most amount of Big Chance opportunities to score
- 2nd Highest number of Shots on Goal
- Highest number of Shots inside the Box
- Highest number of Shots on TargetWally
Yeap!!
Just checked..he's achieves those rankings amongst ALL players even, not just midfielders!
Looks like he's coming in this week then.
Surely has to be Erikksen
Mane?
And you are not a member?
Nope. Just a very good hacker.
Many other places to access stats. 🙂
You should check out my blog...Haha. Will do. Link?
Link in my profile, but here it is:
http://thefplassistant.blogspot.com.au/
There's some useful links in there.Cheers. Will check it out
This really just has been a very roundabout way to get you to a certain other link. 😆
Haha.
No articles lately?Been really busy, haven't had much time to come on here, let alone write. Hopefully, I'll get some pieces out in a a few weeks or so, schedule should clear up by then. 🙂
kolarov ayew yaya all injured. already got -4. this international break burnt me well
Sorry pal.
my condolences
great time to WC 🙂
WC time?
the perks of using wc early, lots of yellow and orange
Hello DZ, no hits taken this week, below is my team:
Hennessey l Butland
Kolarov l Dawson l Moreno l Souare l Bertrand
Sanchez l Marhez l Tadic l Payet l Anya
Sturridge l Pelle l Vardy
I should save it, right?Certainly.
Should be fine.
Yes atm, there are still some games this week.
Cheers! Finger crossed for no injuries in the last games.
Yep. Save
I like it .. save it
Anyone considering playing their all-out-attack chip the week after the international break?
Currently looking to take a -4pt hit to do: Aguero, Diouf & Westwood to:
A. Pelle, Vardy & Sterling or
B. Pelle, Berahino & De Bruyne.
AOA front 8:
Payet | Pedro | Mahrez | Sanchez|Sterling or KdB
Pelle | Martial | Vardy or Berahino
Worth a punt and -4pt hit?I would do just the first 2 this week to avoid the hit.
Cheers Freemlan!
How injured is Ayew?
Not that injured imo.
Hope he starts. I'm relying on him?
Should be ! Not ?
I am planning to rely on him too. 😉
should be fit before the game, that's what I heard
I'd get him out for Rosicky.
Or the other option I've been hearing lately...interestingly enough...is if you offload Mane in any draft game, Ayew will miraculously recover and go on a crazy goalscoring run over the next 5 GWs?Haaaaaahahaha
Try harder son
Hazard 352 or Costa 343?
costa 3-4-3
Costa 343
Neither
Well said
Or this
Haz
Thanks. Leaning towards neither but there is so much Aguero cash itb.
Do we know the prognosis on Kolarov? My 12 point hit at the end of last gameweek is looking a little rash at this point
Facer posted this earlier:
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/11515841That kind of comment makes this site great. Thanks to facer and to you!
just happy to spread good news 🙂
Hot topics! Facer's prognosis 😉
He'll be fine!
He should be available, but whether he starts or not, we will probably only know after the deadlone
Imagine how boring things would have been without all these international break injuries!
Agreed! These are the opportunities that FFS experts crave to utilise their greater skill while casuals will make mistakes.
Like in a game of chess, the stronger player with a material disadvantage would want to complicate the position.this ^
Agreed, things got way more interesting
My FPL season starts here 🙂
How's it looking for the GW?
Begovic
Bellerin Williams Dawson
Mahrez Sanchez KDB Walcott Mane
Sakho Pelle(C) (Martial)
Cheers 🙂Martial over sakho ? why not Capt.manè (Risky !)?
v.solid team tbhSakho is an explosion imminent, imo. Everton away will be tough. Could come back to bite me, but I back Sakho 🙂
Don't have the balls for that atm. 😛
ThanksI haven't looked at home v away, but overall Everton have conceded the 5th most chances in the entire league and could still be without Stones.
Lookin good to go
Cheers
Nice team. You WC this week?
Nah. Saving my WC for later. 🙂
well done
Nice!
Hey there DZs, anyone know what the deal is with Sako? He played great for a few weeks. Still showing good form internationally, yet benched last game.
Any chance he gets back into starting 11?He will always be a rotation risk with the names Palace have upfront
Hell be back in but continue to get rotated. Bolasie a better pick i think
So fellow top 10kers (and really just about anyone in general):
How much stock do you put in ownership when it comes to transfers?
Going into GW8, Pelle's overall ownership was 16.2% and the top10k ownership was 45.8%.
As of right this moment, his ownership is 21.2% so I can only imagine how high it is in the top 10k now (we'll find out on Saturday).
Does the pressure of his ownership and the potential fall-out if he scores big and your replacement doesn't do as well push you to consider him that much more heavily? Or do you throw it to the wind and go with your gut? In the end points are points, but when more than half the people you're competing against hold a player, it feels risky.I don't pay attention to ownership at all EXCEPT for players likely to top the captain poll frequently.
They're the ones that can damage you.
Oh but I'm not top 10k!
Also don't pay attention to the current top 10k ownership just yet. Still too early for them to be seen as your main rivals. FFS probably more relevant.I am not a fellow top 10k, but for me ownership shouldnt matter. You try to get the players who will score u the most points
it's pelle/Studge for me
GO WITH YOUR GUT
I did it with Coutinho→Cabaye last weekI ignore it until GW30 onwards when rank actually matter, and bringing in a highly owned player can be a defensive move.
Other than that I see the high ownership of Martial as an opportunity to get a more explosive differential.
top 3k atm, and dont have Pelle & Mane
Are you answering his q or just showing off? 😉
both 😎
hi5!
I'm 9.4k and thrilled atm hahaHaha
never interested in ownership this year
and no interest in getting this week I'm assuming?
Get back in LMS 😉
Is there any big difference between joining it early and later?
You may not be around for the limited chances left to enter.
Being all smug about it :poop:
Imagine the emoticon
*smilie
In my opinion it's just about points. Ownership works both ways- if he's doing badly then people are benefiting, if he's doing well then the other half are benefiting. Considering pelle and southamptons current form and fixtures, he is a no brainer for me. In this case the fact he is high ownership makes it even more worrying if you don't have him. If he had horrible fixtures then you might be thinking his ownership would be advantageous if there was a better alternative.
Can't answer... Not 10K

(and really just about anyone in general)
😉
I don't really pay attention to ownership. I just try to get as many points as I can.
I am in the top 10k atm and will not get Pelle as the probability of me winning this game is negligible and Ranieri is a good tactician who has enough in his locker to stop Southampton.
It really is to early for anyone to be thinking about winning tbh. Just do the best you can is the best way imo
Yeah..I want to get away from the pack atm,either I go out of 50k or become the pace-setter.
thanks all for the varied responses!
I think at this point I should keep on playing for my MLs and let the rank come on its own along the way, it's too early to worry about ownership.
On -12 lolz. Think i should be happy with this lot. Lucky i had 124 point week last week though
Stekelen
Kolorov nyom janmaat
Payet Sanchez Mane KDB
Vardy Pelle Lukaku
Mahrez darmian oxford
1.9 itb.
Who would you captain out of mane and KDB?Nice team
And I would actually rate your captains in this order:
1. Sanchez 2. Kdb 3.Pelle 4. ManePelle is the obvious one. From those 2,I would captain KDB.
The injuries just keep adding up.
1FT
Bego McCarthy*
Kolarov* Naughton* Evans* Gomez* Targett*
Silva* Sanchez Mahrez Coutinho* Westwood
Kun* Gomis Sakho
Anyone else have a list as bad as this for players injured/dropped* ? Any thoughts on what to do?WC!
I'm afraid I used the WC back in the first international break. Disaster!!
Who all scored for England?
Barkley, own goal, Oxlade-Chamberlain
Thanks 🙂
Bit worried about my defence
kola (inj) nyom (inj) davies (rotation?) dawson , francis
Is it worth doing say nyom to bellerin for -4?
Don't want to be a player short this weekend.
Best time to take a hit for Bellerin. But I think you can get by this week if Kolarov is fit.
Who is the likely replacement for Krul at Newcastle?
Darlow it seems. But Elliot will start until Darlow is fit.
So on the basis of the update from Facer the magnificent, is it worth holding onto Kolarov instead of Coleman on a WC?
Then get Coleman in after a couple of weeks?I reckon so ... Coleman will start racking up the points when the fixtures turn for Everton.
I'm looking at Kolarov > Coleman after GW11 provided Darmian looks to have retained his nailedness (and maybe gets a yellow vs Everton to get his suspension out of the way though I dread watching Valencia against City)
sorry, FOR GW11 😉
Ticket sales websites???
Will be in Cologne for work in November - coming from the US it will be my first european football match - pretty pumped. I'm looking at the Dortmund v Schalke match on Nov 8, but the majority of the websites seem a little sketchy. Any suggestions for ticket websites?
I appreciate the help!Bertrand or Bellerin?
Costa or Pelle?
Need to decide between them before deadline, and I still can't separate them. I might just randomize it and let the universe decide...Bellerin and Pelle
That's the obvious pick, but there is something about Bertrand and Costa that keeps making me delay the move.
You would think Chelsea will improve? It will be almost impossible for them to become even worse with the quality they have. Decent fixtures as well.Yellow cards can't be underestimated imo. He gets them so often and that isn't just -1 but can also reduce bonus if he scores. He hasn't been threatening enough to negate this IMO
He hasn't played for a while though. Pelle and Vardy get a ton of YC's as well, for some reason people forget about this and only remember Costa's...
When Aguero was fit , did you even consider Costa ? The extra money is playing tricks on your mind imo
No because I could never afford him? I don't understand the logic about extra money makes me want him.
The fact you can afford any striker makes you want to punt on a low ownership overpriced player
Yes. (On the low ownership part)
Price has nothing to do with it though. If anything, his price puts me off a bit because I might need the money later.Get Pelle this week which leaves 5m ITB and next week upgrade one of your strikers to the in form striker between Sturridge/Kane/Costa
Yeah that could work
Do you really believe that Costa will do nothing against Villa?He might but I am sure pelle will do something (against Huth and Morgan)
He probably will.
I would want both Pelle and Costa.....its safer to get Pelle atm
my team who should drop out
myhill
kolarov bellerin williams
hazard sanchez kdb mane mahrez
vardy sakho martiallooks good
list 5 players you would definitely have in your team if you were on a WC besides KDB, Sanchez & Pelle.
Elliot/Hennesey
Southampton defender
Arsenal defender
Mane
Payet
imo.
Payet and .... well, I'm gonna go with Hazard, I think now is his time.
Payet has quite a tough run in
1 assist = 8 points
Not necessarily , when he plays tougher oppo and West Ham lose
butland, payet, probably vardy. the rest are all preferences
Payet, Pelle, Luka, Kane, Bertrand
Mane (even though I personally have Tadic - oops)
VardyBellerin/Monreal
Walcott
Mane
Kolarov
Begovic
Already did a hit before Internationals to bring in KDB and Vardy for Couts Gomis.
Another hit warranted for Kun to Pelle??
Have a tough Head to head matchup this week, my just sit and start Richards or Drinkwater thoughts please (am sure many are in this extra hit position...)You have to take him out anyway, better to do this week.
I would make the Pelle transfer. I like his chances of outscoring Richards/Drinkwater + 4.
thanks gents. just hurts to bad to take an -8 pointer. first of season but feel it necessary..
am I grasping at straws by thinking Klopp may randomly prefer Gomez at CB/LB and I would have lucked out by not selling yet?
I think so.
I'm dumping him for a hit.
I highly doubt he will play him
aguero & silva ----> de bruyne & pelle (-4)
should i just do it already?no, wait till italy play
8 years, 6 months agoI think I have decided. Bony it is Kerrrrpow!
