Our first members article of the week delves into the Gameweek 13 data this evening. We assess the downturn in form of a trio of premium midfielders, as Alexis Sanchez, Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard’s displays arrive under our radar. Harry Kane and Roberto Firmino’s weekend showings are also analysed, whilst we take a look at Bournemouth’s midfield improvement since Eddie Howe switched tactics in Gameweek 11.
Should have done it a few days ago Kuqi!
Pelle's first price drop didn't affect on my sale price. Missed Kane's first rise tough.
All about catching those double rises 😉
Have been burned several times for making early transfers 😀
I'm never usually one to do them but knowing that Pelle was out and after watching Kane vs West Ham it felt like a no brainer.
Praying he's all good after Thursday 🙁
atleast I don't have to keep Williams any longer. He has been huge let down despite good fixtures.
Same , I thought Williams was a good buy 🙁
Aye. Swansea malfunctioning at the moment.
Should I get Kane in then instead for Kun ?
Both good options but I have opted Kane.
Not sure Williams will drop tonight. I hope he doesnt, so i can watch LIV tomorrow and make the purchase after the game
Yes! Double rise on Kane. Makes up for the fact I missed a double rise in Ighalo in selling him.
Would you do Benteke , Pelle , kdb -> Kun , Ighalo , Eriksen/Coutinho
Would give me a front 8 of
Mahrez , Erkisen/Coutinho, Sanchez , Ozil (hoolahan)
Lukaku , Kun , Ighalo
Thanks !I'd do Pelle->Kane if you can and that's it.
Kun later then ? Ighalo going big in next few I think
Ighalo has a nice little run of 3 fixtures & Kane's form is just ridiculous ATM.
Get Kane and plan to bring in Kun around GW18 for Sunderland(H).
Yes, Kun still lacks proper service, and is a bit off
Ok thanks
1. Bench one of:
A. Mahrez
B. KdB
2. Got Nyom, Naughton, Van Dijk in defense:
A. Play Nyom
B. Play Van Dijk
C. Naughton out for a hit
Play Nyom
Amended from the last page to have the correct players (d'oh):
A. Erikson + Coutinho + Smalling
B. Sanchez + Lanzini + Smalling
C. Sanchez + Barkley + Rojo
Vote!
can really do without smalling imo
sanchez + barkley + rojo?B
You cant get Sanchez Coutinho and Smalling..
Rose instead of smalling/rojo?
Already have Toby.
I'm not surprised at the change, but I got about 10 votes for Option A on Monday, and was hoping for some more votes for it. FPL is a fickle business.....
WHo to bench and captain??
Begovic
Smalling Kolarov Simspon Richards
Mahrez Coutinho Barkley Ozil Sanchez
Vardy Lukaku Kane
Please suggest
Tough but with double Leicester against Man Utd, I'd bench Mahrez knowing you've got Vardy chasing the record.
He may come in if Coutinho doesn't make it anyway.
Bench Simpson too.
____________DDG____________
_____Evans // Kolarov // Ward____

Thanks Rusty
Have the above team after bringing in Lukaku for Pelle as my FT.
Am I good to go for this week?? Defense in order???
Ayew my only starter im not convinced on..
G2g
Sweet thanks AT
Bertrand, first sub I reckon
Thanks Christina, will consider this
Any questions? 😀
🙂 forgot to post originally! lol
Thought you were just admiring your team. 😀
🙂
Is there an information resource out there similar to Fantasy Football Scout for football/sports betting, or is the solid/good info a little bit less public than with fantasy sports due to their being more money involved?
I would love to know the answer to this also!
Hi everyone! Unexpectedly around today as my contract work involves a lot of sitting around! 🙂
Anyone else missing the quizzes?
no
Not particularly
Only the good ones!
Like?
Its only me then 🙁
yes. only you. Play a quiz with yourself
Wrong answer!!!
Frank Lampard?
No thank you
Hell no.
No
Hopefully KDB does a sanchez tonight so I feel confident going into the weekend
ew
KDB can never do a Sanchez - Sanchez is world class , KDB is not
KDB was the best player in the Bundesliga last season
Not IMO
Doesn't have to be in your opinion, because it's a fact.
What a joke. 😀
😆
KDB is still very young, he has massive potential. He is more than capable of scoring 2 goals tonight.If he hits 2 shots ON target that is 😕
You need to lay off the stats - it's not doing you well
Not stats - KDB is so inaccurate and wasteful if you see his game - he was very bad when he was in Chelsea
He will be the next Coutinho of the Premier League imo
An unbelievable player?
Unbelievably wasteful , yes
🙄
His time at Chelsea is irrelevant - he moved to Wolfsburg and won best player in the league award.
That means he beat every Bayern player to it. 10 goals 21 assists.
Jose would give his left arm to have him backJose was correct in selling KDB and he is the one of those 'big fish in a small pond' kind of player
oh dear
he had like 2 games at chelsea..
I have seen him play in pre-season , LC matches etc.. - very bad
He's a completely different player to what he was at Chelsea.
He still is wasteful in his passing and shooting , unwilling to track back and poor awareness
KDB has nothing good in his game except end - product imo , his genereal play is poor
How can a player that has "nothing good" in his game be the best player of the season in a team like Wolfsburg?
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UjbzwJ-OuC0/UUh3hAbZLcI/AAAAAAAAAIU/6z2WDrq-RG4/s640/KDB+stats.png
See this from 3 years ago when KDB was in Chelsea , his key passes are good , shooting stats are good but his pass accuracy has always been AWFUL - not world class
Fluke. All those goals and assists happened by accident.
Why on earth are you looking at his form from 3 years ago?? His time at Chelsea means NOTHING
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/11925308
That is what I said the only good thing in his game is end - product!I am just saying that he is still the same player with good goal/assists but poor passing passing and accuracy
Non sense
haha
he is clearly not the same player. He was a child at Chelsea. Not even given a chance. Jose isn't perfect. He makes mistakes as we are seeing plenty of, this season
Jose's only mistake this season was our pre-season training - all our players came back fat and unfit
Eva was a massive mistake which has spiralled out of control.
IMO.when you're wrong, you are soooo wrong Eden 😉
rank these players in order of how good they are
Willian, Pedro, Fabregas, Oscar, KDB, Ramsey, King^^ genuine question
You are correct 🙂
As mistakes go, that's a pretty enormous one
King
Fabregas
Ramsey
Pedro
Oscar
Willian
Bendtner
Chamakh
Taarabt
Bebe
Anderson
Voronin
KDBWillian is a different breed of a player , he is a RWB , RW and CDM in one player , so I won't rank him
Fabregas > Ramsey > KDB > Oscar > Pedro > KingOn current form , I would have Fabregas LAST FWIW
brick wall, meet Internal error, internal error meet brick wall
For what? What is your ranking?
who me?
Yes...
29k
Not FPL 😕
Of the players.....
KDB is the worst player to ever live. Fact.
I'm expecting Eden to upvote this comment
How was he bad at CHE? That is absolutely not true.
Bold statement. Im quite sure KDB can go on a run off 2 pointers just like Alexis 😛
I am not talking FPL mate - talking general footie
Still think you are being very harsh judging him on his chelsea career. He was very young and things obviously did not go well with Jose. He has improved massively amd though not at Alexis level yet he definitely has time on his side.
On a slightly different note, I'm sure there are many chelsea fans who would love to have him in their team atm.
Imo he is already a better player than Pedro or Will I amWillian is a different breed of a player , he is a RWB , RW and CDM in one player .....I agree he is better than Pedro but he is not 'world class'
Willian is a free kick god 😀
Agreed 🙂
And Courtois shagged his missus which isn't exactly going to help you into the first team....
firminho, ozil and moreno for payet, mane and kolorov? 8pt hit???
No way. Keep Mane for a bit longer, there's some good fixtures around the corner.
RP, feel a little ignored
G2G? 0.0ITB
Butland (myhill)
bellerin, richards, dann (bennett, VvD)
mahrez, sanchez, KDB, Barkley (lingard)
Kane,vardy,kunYes
Playing Micah is a bit bold. I rate the odds of VvD attacking points over Micah CS points
Cheers you're right!
Still feeling uneasy about bringing in Auero. Not sure what I was thinking. ..Too early and just how the hell will he outscore Kane?....He'll have to do a brace or a hatty every week.
Same boat Wakey - not as excited to have Aguero in my team as I usually am - although part of that is worry about tonight.
That being said I took out Pelle for him so can't be any worse surely?Has to be Lukakau/Kane/Vardy for now. Kun is best monitored.
Same. Got a little bit blinded by my initial plan. Really wish i payed attention and picked up Kane. Could always go Aguero later.
Aye. That 's the right way around.
If City doesn't improve next match, i'll downgrade KDB and do Vardy->Kane, maybe even for a hit. I'll miss out on some money, but I have OK TV. Think it's really important to stay calm after doing a blunder. Worst thing you can do is try and correct it by taking lots of last minute transfer-hits.
You're implying that Kane will score tons
He will....No doubt about that at all.
Swap them around for a hit then 😀
If you are convinced he will score that much, take a hit and switch it... although i wouldn't
Hi all,
How is this team looking going forward??
Lukaku in for Pelle done.
Butland, Schmeichel
Kolarov, Ward, Toby, Francis, Moreno
KDB, Alexis, Ozil, Mahrez, Westwood
Kane, Lukaku, Vardy
1.8m, 0ft
Any thoughts on next moves with this lot?Kolarov->Dawson.
I'd get Aguero in next for Vardy and KdB for gw16 then start work on your defence.
I'm in a real quandary over what to do with Pelle. I have three options as I see it. Which would you recommend...?
Myhill
KOLAROV Bellerin Nyom
Sanchez Sterling Mata Mahrez
Aguero PELLE Vardy
Simpson Westwood SAYLOR
a. Do nothing, save an FT and deal with it next week playing Simpson or Westwood.
b. Kolarov>Spurs def, Pelle>Lukaku/Kane. I have the exact cash for Walker and Kane but wouldn't do the trade until after Europa league when prices may have changed by then.
c. Westwood>King, play 3-5-2, leave Pelle in for Villa at home, then sell?
I think option b makes most sense, as Kolarov is a rotation risk looming, and Pelle is out of form. I will then have got rid of Francis/Martial/Kolarov and Pelle for a cost of only -4 over two weeks...
Thoughts appreciated!Pelle->Kane is a priority full stop. Just do the do.
Can you do Pelle>Lukaku without a hit?
Would not take a hit for Kolarov>Spurs Def (Spurs more likely to concede than City imo)No, Pelle selling at 8.3, with 0.3 ITB! 🙁
Which is half my worry that any gains from Kane or Lukaku coming in could be lost in the -4 and Kolarov outscoring the Spurs defender..
My fourth option could be to sit tight, and next week sell Mata and Pelle. Maybe brining in a Pool mid...?
B and bring them in early if you have to. Or get a cheaper defender and wait. Either way you should swap Pelle for Kane or Lukaku this week.
Kane or Lukaku this week.. Both could explode but Lukaku has a the better fixture
Sanchez Lukaku or Aguero Capt this week?
I'm going Aguero but i do not own Lukaku
Not fancy Sanchez after his brace?
He ran a hell of a lot last night... i just think Lukaku or Aguero would be a better option
I'm debating him and Kun, been flipping (c) and (vc) back and forth all week.
Lukaku
Not Kun, much tougher fixture, that's for sure.
Suspect it's Sanchez' time to explode, and Nor are a good enough victim
Currently on Sanchez (C), Lukaku (VC)
Lukaku for sho
4/10
Morning chaps,
Butland/Gomes
Kol/Cedric/Schlupp/Moreno/Souare
Sanchez/Haz/Sterling/Ayew/Mahrez
Pelle/Vardy/Deeney
Pelle and Schlupp to Lukaku and Simpson for free?Yep sounds lovely
Can I just ask, why Deeney over Ighalo?
Had Deeney from the start, been playing 3-5-2 for most of the season. Close to doing Deeney to Ighalo a few times but I've always had other transfers to prioritise.
Fair enough!
Thanks!
Ideal
Priority transfer this week? Ozil or Aguero?
Ozil.
Aguero for me
Ozil
Aguero
Next 3 fixtures for Ozil are beautiful. I'd go Ozil
+1
the magick of oz
Ozil for sure - individual and team form + great fixtures
Cheers all.
Ozil.
Sold KDB and Ayoze to Ozil and Kane for -4. Still tempted to sell Mane to Coutinho/Firmino for another hit? Should I be patient with Mane?
Yes, he's got Villa next week who are woeful
That's the only reason I'm holding fire ATM.
Chill out on the hits. If Kompany is out, Mane might not be a bad little player to own this week. Just bench him otherwise if you have a decent player coming on!
I'm expecting a big haul from him. Villa are THE team to play against atm.
Cheers guys.
Start two
Dembele, Davis or LanziniA+C-fixtures
Thx!!!!
I'm good to go this week aren't i? Alread moved willaims on for moreno:
Begovice
Moreno / Kolarov / Bellerin
Sanchez / Mane / Mahrez / Bolasie
Aguero / Kane / Lukaku
Mccarthy / Westwood / Richards / Francis
- Probably Kun captain depending on tonight's minute. if not will flip a coin between Kane & Lukaku.
CheersCool lineup, but i sense an insanely prolific Englishman missing, you know, the one with the intitals JV, as well as the current top scorer of PL?
ha very true! But having missed his glut of goals so far there is no way i'm moving on any of my strike force for him with the fixtures he has coming up!
Morning, Sanchez!
Giggity ? 😉
Was gonna take a hit or hits this week but decided against it.
Doing pelle to Kane
Going to bring in Coleman aswell for free
But for whom?
Kolorov, or azpi?Fabregas is a mole sent by Wenger to undermine the coach and bring down the Chelsea Club.
DiscussBollocks.
Had to make a comment about KDB after teh discussion.
Basically end product as Eden says is all he has. That is ALL it is about, not some random stats how his passing is poor. Also, passing the ball backwards and sideways will result in high pass accuracy. Pass accuracy means absolutely nothing when it concerns players in the final third who try to go for the assist or put a hard through ball that will surprise the defense. Just disconnect those two and you have a huge difference. I might know something about it since i kinda played footie myself.
I do think that KDB is a great player to have in your team, since he delivers on end product. Sanchez is one of my favorite players to watch for quite some time, so i will not compare those two. Different players in my eyes in similar positions.
I am pretty sure you will not be able to list 20 players who are better than him at what he does. I think he is an immense asset to City, every player can have bad games.Well , I disagree 😕
If you saw the Manchester Derby carefully , you would also understand
Here is where I got slated for Rojo. It annoyed me and I stopped checking the site as much as usual and responding to questions.

8 years, 5 months agoWilliams and Pelle dropping tonight and Kane rising. Got to do transfer tonight 🙁
0.3 price swing otherwise.
