We delve into the Gameweek 20 data this evening in our first members article of the week. Wayne Rooney’s upturn in attacking potential arrives under analysis, whilst we also cast an eye over midfielders from Spurs, West Ham, Arsenal and Newcastle, before assessing Liverpool and Leicester’s threat in the final third.
Re-post just because this seems like it would be a ridiculous buy (unlikely to happen I know)

Wondered where that had gone!
I think they'll still go down, but would he even go? Maybe with a get out clause
Haven't Newcastle been doling out tons of cash pre season as well. Wijn and the ilk?
He is not very good either
+1
He's been a huge disappointment this seasonLyon in general also
No end product
He is a good player! He was the best striker in Ligue 1 in the 14/15 season, scoring more goals than Zlatan.
This year Lyon have been awful and he hasn't been able to regain his form also due to injuriesI try not to discredit any professional but
PL is a significant step up from Ligue 1 and he is already showing signs of inconsistency
Tough to see him be successful at a club like Newcastle, that's all
😯
This won't happen if he has half a brain
Newcastle paying big money for Ligue 1 players - this doesn't exactly scream "success".
Got 2FT.
1) Pick 2 to get in for Ramsey and Coutinho: (Got Aguero, Ozil, Ighalo, Barkley, Mahrez, Kane)
A: Willian
B: Oscar
C: Payet
D: Siggy
E: Yaya
F: Alli
2) Or would you get in Cresswell or Azpi for someone of these:
A: Moreno B: Dawson C: Ward D: Bellerin E: Toby
Personally would go for Willian and Payet
Cresswell for Dawson seems logical.
Hope Foster has a shocker of a cup game.
Myhill - McCarthy owner. 🙁Rudd for the cost of 0.1 and a FT by the looks of it
In the same boat 🙁 McCarthy just dropped by 0.1 to add to the woes.
Who are you eyeing to replace him, Pundit?Like SEM mentions above, Rudd is one gk I'm looking at.
Lloris also on my radar if I plan to spend more cash.Hmmm. Could do McCarthy -> Rudd now, and then replace Myhill later when he's confirmed out. Don't see many clean sheets for Norwich' upcoming fixtures, though
Id recommend Adrian. Whu has been good defensively of late snd faces 6 of bottom 8 sides in next 7 games
Good shout actually.
He's close to a drop as well.Thanks, that's one good option who's overlooked. Lot of away games though....
I had the same pair few days ago. I used one FT to do McCarthy to Hennessey and will sell Myhill after this GW.
I don't have a spare FT.
Lets see what happens this gw.I am pretty sure Foster will play.
In the same boat myself. We are on borrowed time anyway
Baseline BPS by Balders - http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/12336565( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WN7wHzk8VeoCdPEZM40uFi0UVUVM81RU9dNl5R1GlBc/pubhtml# )
CHELSEA
Azpi - 16.2
Courtois - 15.7 !!
Cahill - 14.8
Terry - 14.3
Brana - 13.2
Zouma - 13.1
Courtois is so high up! 😯Thanks - even more tempted to do Myhill -> Courtois now !
Thank Balders 😉
per 90
Yes , per90
*Baseline BPS p90
Azpi then
Yup. I am considering Zouma > Azpi but will prolly go dullard and do Zouma > Walker
Ramsey / Coutinho > Ayew / Payet
For Free Yay or Nay ??Do you have Alli?
Would prefer him over Ayew.Yes, but wait until Monday with those moves.
Defintely transfer out Coutinho
2 FT. Would you do these changes?
Lukaku -> Aguero
Vardy -> Ighalo
Leaves me with this front 8:
KDB Ozil Mahrez Arnie Alli
Aguero Kane IghaloI would just do Vardy > Ighalo
What's your defence like?
Butland McCarthy
Bellerin Toby Moreno Evans SmithMoreno and vardy to go imo then
Who would you recommend to bring in for Moreno?
Simpson, but most would disagree
is it time to ditch Vardy and opt for Ighalo ?
i have kane and luk as the other st.
What about doing something more original? Caroll looking good.
sounds good until Ighalo hits 3 in 3 and destroys your rank
Play it simple, get the guy in red hot form and scoring goals for fun and who is also cheapThis man does speak sense
Yep, too true. But as this is a game maybe shake it up a bit.
I like this punt
Got rid of Lukaku on wc. Would get him back after next two fixtures if there is a dip in form for any of my current striker
Good or Bad idea?
Frontline is Aguero Kane Ighalo.My thinking exactly
Thing is im trailing rival by 30 points and fancy kun to outscore lukaku who he has by big margin over next two
Othewise if i was leading ill keep him. Currently need explosive differentials and kun is just that
I'm doing the same thing.
Though I'm not on WC.If it means losing big amount of value, it's not worth it.
I'm pondering doing Luka -> Aguero. Next two fixtures are nasty for Everton
Crazy, Lukaku has been fantastic, no way I am selling him
City aren't exactly bossing it at the back either, no reason why Lukaku cant get returns next week
Hes a flat track bully. Just a short term punt on kun. See above
A) play aoa and bench Belkerin (playing Zouma and Sagna)?
B) bench one of Alli, Mahres, Arnie?
Front 8:
Özil, KDB, Mahrez, Alli, Arnie
Aguero, Kane, IghaloTeam for next gw -
Myhill
Alderweireld - Wollscheid - Nyom
Kdb - Ozil - Payet - Alli
Aguero - Kane - Ighalo
McCarthy - Mahrez - Bellerin - Dawson
How is she looking? Any changes needed? -4 hit.
Looks solid, but sort McCartht and myhill soon
High on the priority list.
I'll actually wait for Myhill to get dropped.Pulis might not give away before match, so then you're risking one GW without goalie points
Ok nice, I can see him being dropped in next two...
My gk brother 😉
Whats the case with Myhill,when will we have to transfer him out?Wait for him to get dropped.
That's what I'm doing.
Hopes Pulis being a Welshman sticks with his countryman.Lets hope than
Was at Britannia last night and the mighty joe Allen ran the show... Firminio was absolutely useless, gave ball away all night and work effort was shocking, can, Lucas, toure, Ibe and lallana also had a good game.
Moreno looked awesome in the first half and on fpl point view was very impressive, just wish he had more confidence to beat a man in the final third or to deliver a cross, no one helps him out getting into the box. Defensively looked solid, just tired out towards the end.
Stoke boys
Good old glen had a cracking game, especially first half and arnie looked dangerous, could of scored two headers on another night ... John should of had levelled late on..: anyway wasn't going to write anything as got a big essay in this morning, but mighty joe Allen is in fact not only got the appearance of pirlo, keep it up, doubters like me can still be turned...Do you think firminio can become a fpl powerhouse in the future?
It's a hard one, been discussing this a lot recently, only 1 good game against City which caused his hype... To be fair klopp seems to be a fan and you could see he looked pretty annoyed by firminio last night. I think the main issue with firminio is he needs space to flourish and right now we as a team are not giving him that. So for now no, but maybe after jan... Just my worry would be if he keeps playing this bad- many fans will start getting on his back...
A: Kane + Coutinho --> Alli + Costa
B: Coutinho + Ramsey --> Willian/Oscar + Siggy/Allli/Payet
Front 8: Aguero, Ozil, Ighalo, Barkley, Mahrez, Kane, Coutinho, Ramsey
Hey
Who would you guys bench out of this lot?
Butland/ Gomes
Alderweireld Koscielny Cresswell Ward Wollscheid
KDB Ozil Payet Mahrez Alli
Aguero Lukaku Ighalo
Thanks- New article
NEW POST, BABY NEW POST.
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2016/01/06/scout-scribbles-advantage-liverpool/ 
Not wishing anyone harm, but a few more cup injuries and sanchez, foster, payet, etc returning could make next week very interesting.
Think I'm saving my 2ft till the last minute despite price changes...
Buon giorno chaps. Some advice on which to go for after cup games please? 2FT + 6.7m ITB.
Butland
Souare, Monreal, Cresswell
KDB, Ozil, Mahrez, Arnie
Lukaku, Kane, Vardy
(Hennessey), Stanislas, Nyom, Simpson
A) Vardy > Aguero
B) Vardy > Costa
C) Kane + Vardy > Costa + Aguero
D) Vardy + Nyom > Aguero + Walker/Dawson
E) Anything elseA- but c is very tempting if you had alli, can see Kane not being as effective without dembele
Get Kane for vardy for next two? Got alli
Will then ship Kane/vardy for lukaku
Other strikers: iggy and sergio
Yay or nay?
Thanks
Repost what would you do guys?
Cech, (Gomes)
Coleman, Aldeweireld, Clyne (souare , Smalling)
Mahrez, kdb, ozil, Barkley, (Albrighton)
kane, vardy, Lukaku(c).
2tf,0.4ITB
Should i do:
a)Toure for Barkley,Nyom for Coleman (City home matches)
b)Willian for Barkley,Zouma for Coleman (Chelsea 2 home games)
c)Willian for Barkley,Ali for Albrighton
d)something better?
thanks in advance
Cant decide which move is the best, so please help !?
2 FT, 0.4 in the bank
Im happy with my front 8
Cech, Hennessey
Moreno, Alderweireld, Ward, Simpson, Oxford
1. Moreno to Walschield or defender up to 5.2
2. Oxford to Rangel
3. Hennessey and Simpson out for McCarthy and Walschield/Catchart
I would not bother going for Stoke def as their fix's turn horrid after this GW
Rangel good shout, as is Adam Smith (BOU)
I've gone for the latter as I was 0.1 short of Rangel
Should I do Vardy > Ighalo now?
Vardy to Agüero and.... (Please vote)
A) Myhill -> Rudd
B) Myhill -> Elliot
C) Bellerin -> Walker
D) Bellerin -> Dawson
E) Moreno -> Smith
F) Moreno -> Bennett
G) KDB -> Payet
H) KDB -> Toure
I) Ramsey -> Arnautovic
J) Ramsey -> Siggy
K) Alli -> Stanislas
L) Kane -> Ighalo
M) Lukaku -> Ighalo
Disclaimer: Some fillers in this lineup, only a handful I am really considering ATM, but subject to change.B
