In the first of a number of members articles over the international break, we delve into the data from the Gameweek gone by. Palace’s approach with Christian Benteke arrives under the radar, whilst we also take a look at Paul Pogba’s first away outing for United, Chelsea’s in-form attacking duo and the performance of City’s playmaker in the weekend win over West Ham.
Not sure. The Ruddy to Sunderland deal is by no means certain, and Jaku's playing well enough at the moment to contest his place with Marshall. Nothing concrete, yet.
FPL is a funny old game. Who would have thought that Ruddy to Sunderland could have such consequence for managers.
Like most people, I just put Jaku in because he's a 4.0 keeper who's going to start. He's been pretty impressive though, would be fairly harsh to drop him, but football's a cruel game.
Need a little advice please?
Do i bench Redmond against Arsenal and play Diomande against Burnley?
Cheers
Yes
2 weeks to go but at this moment i would play diomande
yes.
This a tough one but also have to go Diomande
Cheers guys. If Redmond blanks again he's gone
Which is more likely to double rise over break and do well over next two game weeks: Cazorla Sanchez Ozil ???
Sanchez
What are the general strategies re Aguero?
Is transferring him out as a consequence of a ban going to cause problems further down the line or are you saving a wildcard to overcome this issue?i think i will use wc to bring him back. im pretty happy with my team right now and only -4 will give me lukaku and sanchez.
What about those who activated WC before news of his potential ban was known?
My team will definitely look better but I'll struggle to get him back pre Jan (WC #2)
what changes will you make to this team?
1 FT, 1.6 ITB
Foster
Shaw Stones Friend
Hazard Özil Ramírez Capoue
Agüero Ibrahimovic Benteke
Jakupovic Routledge Amat Pieters
my plan was Routledge to 6.6m
if kun ban for 3 games, i would do kun to lukakuThat midfield is too weak, I'd upgrade one of Ramirez or rout ledge
Kun to kaku Ramirez to sterling
Which Everton cover is all the rage this week.
It was Barkley on every page now it's Lukaku (with good reason I'm sure).
Anyone know when the next southcast is ?
Tnks
Beginning of next week I think.
A) Costa / Negredo
B) Lukaku / Benteke
C) Lukaku / Negredo + 0.6 (Used to upgrade a 4.5 to a 5 in a 5.5/4.5/4.5/4.5/4 defence)im going with B
That was my initial plan, but currently have Costa/Negredo in on my WC to catch the rises to keep options open..
Sanchez Cazorla or ozil
Sanchez
Sanchez (even though I will go Ozil)
This is the team Im sitting on at the moment..
Jakupovic
Shaw McAuley Valencia VanDjik
Hazard Carzola Barkley Capoue
Ibra Negredo
subs- Aguero Fletcher Fry Schmeichel
What do you think?
13 mln on the bench is too much
Aguero out if banned imo. If not, midfield could backfire on you not a fan of Both Barkley and Caz, whist starting Capoue.
Fletcher and Capoue is a really bad pairing. Upgrade one of them to s more attacking mid
WC team
Pickford Heaton
Walker Valencia Williams Amat Mccauley
Sanchez Haz Sterling Capoue Mane
Negredo Ibra Diomande
how do i look ?
Is the Aguero ban confirmed?
He's been charged, thats as good as confirmed.
deserves only the one game.
will get 3.
Bony a good option if he moves to Stoke?
Still prefer Lukaku fixtures if its only for a Kun placeholder
Yes, but I would give him a few weeks, he hasn't played much football lately
Front Three of Benteke Bony and Lukaku allows just about unlimited spending on Four top mids and a few million spare to improve defence
Yeah but you own 3 trolls
Lol
Hmm this is interesting. Could you have Sanchez hazard kdb and martial?
Benteke and Lukaku might get you points. So go ahead.
Yeah and then you cry your heart out when Aguero scores 4 against Swansea
How many times has this already happened?
So I've done (with 2 FT)
Aguero --> Lukaku
Tadic ---> Sanchez
Would you do Firmino ---> Sterling to catch any further price rises?
I'm a Pool fan and I can't decide if i'm deluding myself that Firmino is a million times better prospect than Sterling in the long run.not for a -4. They play United next
Good shout.
Your 2 frees are what I'll be doing
Hi Guys, need some advice please!
Shall I play my wildcard? Want to transfer out Ibe, Xhaka, Morgan?, Firmino, Pickford, Stones?
Otherwise if anyone knows better to hold on and just make the Aguero-Costa Transfer for a few weeks?
hehe, a bunch of ppls going alexis over ozil 🙂
Who will be laughing in a few weeks time?
To wildcard or not to wildcard...that is the question.

Hope he tries driving that in flip flops. That's a commentary I'd listen to.
Really want to use WC to make this team:
Foster / Jakupovic
Valencia / Morgan / Collins / McCauley / Amat
Sanchez / Sterling / Barkley / Lamela / Capoue
Ibrahimovic / Costa / Bentheke
Later use my 2FT to get Aguero easly.
yay or nay?
Not sure about Morgan & Barkley personally but otherwise good, and good balance.
What 2 moves do you envisage doing to get Aguero back?Alexis + Costa --> Kun + around 7.3 mid
Any other 5.0 def better?
Who other than Barkley (want to get one of nailed front EVE with those fixtures)
Aguero > ?
Also have Gray and IbraCosta
Lukaku
How is this WC looking?
Foster, Pickford
Valencia, Williams, Evans, Friend, Amat
Hazard, Ozil, Sterling, Lamela, Capoue
Ibrahimovic, Costa, Negredo
(Ibrahimovic & Costa -> Aguero & Rooney when Aguero back)

Here's Andy85wsm with a look back at the Scouts' predictions for GWK 3. http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2016/08/31/fantasy-football-scout-review-gameweek-3/I really hope Mustafi is priced at 5.5
The worst thing about this potential Kun ban is that it's only two PL games which makes me toy with the idea of benching him. Really hoping if he does get banned it's for 6 matches at least
You will know the length of the ban before the deadline.
That would put a different complexion on the issue.
Another who-to-replace-Aguero-with post:
I've got Barkley so don't want to double up on Eveton and get Lukaku
I've got Hazard so don't want to double up on Chelsea and get Costa
I've got Ibra so don't want to double up on Man U and get Rooney
So:
A) Vardy
B) Kane
C) ?Punt on a low/mid price FW and free funds for a top MID
then, if fit, use your 2FT on GW6 to ditch your premium MID and replace him by a mid-priced MID (you will have more info about the line ups on midfields at this time) and bring Aguero backHmm, that;s an option. Would mean taking a -4pt hit this GW though.
I presumed you were wildcarding this GW 🙂
Nope. Looking for a straight swap just for the two GWs
Anyone thinking about the straight swap Aguero to Ienacho?
??
Igalho to west brom a good punt
Chaldi + Ighalo would completely chage the offensive dynamic of WBA imo
Remy, Bony or Zaza? Who would be your third striker?
Remy and Zaza lacking fitness imo
Bony most probably fitter
Foster
Shaw Stones Morgan
Hazard Barkley Lamela Redmond
Ibra Kun Gray
Jaku Friend Kone Capoue
0.6 itb 1 FT
Should I WC?I wouldn't
Similar team and I'm leaning toward keeping my wc and taking a -4. Gray and Lamela have some nice games in the next 3, don't want to miss out on those!
I'm lost here. Top of my mini league but already used my wildcard. I'm expecting my rivals to use theirs this week.
I really want/need Sanchez and Lukaku, but I'm 0.4 short of Aguero, Redmond to Sanchez, Lukaku for -4
Foster / Jaku
Ivanovich / Valencia / Williams / Collins / Amat
Hazard / Barkley / Lamela / Redmond / Capoue
Aguero / Ibra / Rondon
A) add Rondon -> Diomande (-8) This would allow Barkley -> Sterling in GW5
B) add Ivanovich -> 4.5 (-8) This would also allow Barkley -> Sterling in GW5
C) pick Ozil instead of Sanchez (-4)
D) Pick ??? instead of Lukaku (-4)
