It’s time for our regular post-Gameweek members’ article as we assess some of the standout statistics from the previous ten matches.
A handful of mid-price wide men from Watford, West Ham and Southampton catch the eye, while Spurs and Liverpool’s left-backs chalk up some impressive figures.
Chelsea and Newcastle United’s new strikers also come under analysis as we assess their early impacts in the top flight.
I'd be tempted to save the FT. Having to frees over the break would be great, and the upgrade from Willian to Pogba is not likely to have an instant impact. But if you were to get Pogba I would get him for Willian for not hit. Wait on the defence.
*two
Thanks. Not worried about defence going up vs. strong teams this GW though?
Sure it's a worry, but nobody you bring in is guaranteed a cleanie, so you could find you blow a transfer to get 1 or no extra points, whereas having two next week would allow a mini-WC over the break (ie, three transfers for -4).
Jesus/Firmino + JWP for Chicha and pogba
How about the defence? Giving Jesus 1 more GW
Looking at a WC either this week or next week...which of these would you drop:
A) Alonso > 6.5 or under
B) Jones > 4.5
C) Cedric > 4.5
D) Ramsey > 6.5 or under (already getting Richarlison)
Philips looking like retirning to form and fixtures are decent 2
did you beat The Kneejerkers XI
https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/4112369/event/2
No
Yeah
Xha(c)a ftw lol
this week is either Pogba or Chicharito
I need Kane to score at least 2 goals
Yes but why xhaka captain
most trf in
I got 49! What a big jerk I am.
Kneejerkers destroyed me
How's my wildcard squad looking?
Foster - Elliot
Alonso - Bailly - Dawson - Zanka - Mbemba
Eriksen - Mkhitaryan - Richarlison - Mooy - TCarroll
Kane - Lukaku - Chicharito
0.3 itb
Really like it, 10 out of 10 from me.
Looks ok. Not a fan of the 2 big defenders if it means Richarlison is your 3rd mid
Shocking midfield boss strike force
Not a fan sorry. Moo to RLC. Rich to Ramsey. Bailly to Jones. Zanka to Bertrand.
Why Erikssen and not Mane?
I've been thinking about Mane as I don't have Liverpool cover. I could do:
Alonso > Cedric/Jones
Zanka > Holgate
Mooy > Mane
Richarlison > RLC and rotate the two 4.5 mids
Start 2 from
A Ake
B Carroll
C JWP
D Atsu
B and D.
Hi Dunas
Atsu+JWP (depends on Lemina fitness - need more info from press conference)
how many points for you so far?
Started Ok with 80 but only 33 last week. No hits yet and hoping KDB and Kane firing this week. How about you?
and there are 5 YC, not 4 🙂
Oh dear! Good luck with wild card! I will assess next week but hope to hold on until international break after week 7
I had the same view on WC but enough is enough. It can't be worse probably. Good luck as well!
What's everyone's Team Value at the moment and how much ITB
100.4
0.3 itb
100.6 and none
£99.7
O.3 ITB
100.3
Nowt in the bank!
I can't believe we're starting this already 🙂
100m and .5 itb
Squad value:
£99.5m
In the bank
£1.0m
100.6
0.2
but i've been WCing this week thats why
Being slightly controversial on purpose, so don't take it too seriously - but can someone give me a few reasons why Pogba is a better option than Ramsey this season?
Better haircut.
I'm not even sure that's true 😉
He may not be. I own both. But if you get it wrong the ownership levels will bite.
nice
United have a settled team and formation while Arsenal are all over the place. They will undergo more flux when Alexis returns. And Ramsey is injury prone. Plus Arsenal play without a proper DM so I expect his place to be under threat in tough games. Wenger might prefer a Xhaka Elneny/Coq combine.
hm maybe, we'll see
Arsenal and spurs are a little further from setttling than Man Utd. Man Utd far from the finished article and were mediocre at best at times against Swansea last week. But beating a team 4 - 0 playing like that can only mean good rhings for Utd assets.
Ramsey may well challenge for fpl points yet but arsenal are no where near settling and until then i would avoid
I think Arsenal will be seen in a different light when Kosc/Sanchez return, and Kola moves to wing back
Ramsey not 100% naiked and is injury prone
Bottomed:
Thoughts on PvA + Lacazette > Lowe + Kane (-4)? Need to find a million to bring Kane in and captain him. Any other 4.5s preferable? Already have Mee.
Looks good to me.
Cheers mate
very nice
Someone talk me out of/into getting Jese Rodriguez?
He plays for Stoke.
Surely that's enough
Risky. On a wc or straight transfer?
Straight transfer. Need the doe
4th mid?
Playing WBA
Maybe Phillips?
I was thinking about how many players there are in each posistion for top 6 teams who we expect to score consistent attacking returns.
Simply, Spurs only have 3 and score lots of goals. If you cover their players over the season you can expect a lot of returns.
City have at least 5 players in every match who could bring home the attacking points. Over the course of a season you would expect City and Spurs to score a similar number of goals. However, City's spread of attacking points is likely to be more varied. They look. Poorer option.
So for anyone wondering what to do with KDB. Simply, switch to a Spurs midfielder. Or Jesus/Aguero - switch to Kane. The numbers add up.
Top 6
Chelsea - 4 Alonso, Pedro/Willian, Hazard, Morata
Spurs - 3 Eriksen, Alli, Kane
City - 5 Aguero, Jesus, KDB, Salah/Sterling, Silva/Silva
United - 4 Lukaku, Martial/Rashford, Pogba, Mikhi
Liverpool - 3/4 Firmino, Mane, Salah (Coutinho if stays)
Arsenal - 3/4 Lacazette/Giroud, Ramsey, Sanchez (if stays), Ozil
my pick vs imo (best) pick
Chelsea - Alonso (Hazard)
Spurs - Kane (Kane)
City - Jesus (Aguero)
United - Lukaku (Lukaku)
Liverpool - Mane (Mane)
Arsenal - Ramsey (Sanchez)
Kolasinac for Arsenal
Interesting rationale. Not sure it follows through with making a decision like this though
I thought about Kolo but I am not sure he will bring home regular attacking points.
Interesting, I like this theory. Son might get back to nabbing a few points for spurs but I can see the top 3 there all doing well, and consistently. Makes KDB to Eriksen more likely after this week.
Spurs have 4. Son scored 16 goals last year, more than most players.
Monreal ->
A) Hegazi
B) Trippier
C) Davies
D) Dawson
B/C
How are West Brom's defensive stats aside from the two clean sheets of course?
Wise to double up for their home games?
They look to be better defensively than last season but they could end up conceding after the break.
Okay. Nothing special. Nothing wrong with a double up with the fixtures
should have double WBA instead of Soton
I have doubled up on them successfully in the past. Nothing wrong with it.
A) Give KDB & Jesus one last chance, Daniels --> Trippier
B) KDB --> Eriksen
C) Jesus/Tadic --> Chicharito/Eriksen (-4)
B
A. Doing the same, except Daniels>Dawson
cheeky wildcard with £0m to spare .. what do you think?
GK
Foster
DEF
Jones
Trippier
Cedric
Luiz
Mbemba (SUB)
MID
Pogba
Mane
Eriksen
Loftus-Cheek (SUB)
Carroll (SUB)
ATT
Chicarito
Lukaku
Aguero
Looks cheeky.
No Kane is insane
On a WC,
Kane + Mooy
OR
Firmino + Eriksen
Latter.
A but with a 4.5m and spend the money to upgrade and play your 4th choice defender.
Firmino and Eriksen
I suspect after Kane explodes this weekend most people will say A.
Anyone got one eye on sanchez's home fixture with Bournemouth after the international break? If he makes an appearance against Liverpool this weekend, he might make an appearance in my WC team over the break...
Yep. Won't be getting Sanchez, but it's making me keep my eyes on Lacazette
Ill be finding a way to fit Sanchez, Kane, Luk and Eriksen in my team
Good luck
And I'll be finding a way to bring Kate Upton to my bedroom.
Pick one from each option please.
Trippier or Davies?
Tadic or Jese?
Davies
Jese for a punt
Poor - Average first two weeks but fairly happy with this team:
Pickford (Elliot)
Jones - Stephens - Dawson (TAA - Long)
KDB - Willian - Atsu - MKHI (Carroll)
Kane - Kaku - Firm
Looking at KDB - Eriksen next week and upgrading defence cover.
Makes sense to me. You could spend the money doing Stephens to Bertrand. He is worth the extra.
True that
Why Eriksen and not Mane?
KDB to Eriksen also on the cards for me, but waiting till after the break.
Eriksen's price might be slightly different by then...
Trips or Davies?
Davies for now
Trying to decide whether to roll the FT or use it to get rid of Ake. Options are:
A - play Ake (MCI)
B - play Suttner (wat)
C - play Mee (TOT)
D - Ake to Hegazi/ Jones/ zanka
Any thoughts appreciated
D) Jones
Bou look very leaky
D for now. Switch back when Bournemouth's fixtures change.
Ok thanks both!
which mob would you prefer?
A.
David Luiz
Pogba
Mané
Chicharito
Agüero
B.
Alonso
David Silva
Chamberlain
Firmino
Kane
B wins by 3 -2 (Firm over Chic, Kane over Aggy, Alonso over Luiz) Pogba and Mane big winners over Silva and Chamberlain though.
Guys, what are our thoughts on captaining RLC?
Triple?
Depends if you're drunk or not
You bevvied?
Maybe after 8 Stella's
Only 8?
Lightweight lol
what for?
Please help...
Mane or Eriksen? I already owned Kane
Eriksen for me.
Still have Eriksen IMO
Eriksen one of 3 big Tot scores. Pool share it around more. Could be wrong of course and Mane may smash it. Eriksen very consistent with points.
both very good but Eriksen, just
Thanks guys.
Just looking at the next fixture with Mane against Arsenal that always produced goals and Erikssen with Burnley at wembley in mind
no love for morata?
Maybe never but defo not yet
I asked this last week and no answers! So not much lol. Probably just gonna see how he goes.
Once his fixtures clear up, Hazard returns etc. I think many will be interested, especially as his price isn't too bad.
With Hazard back, there will be more love.
Hi guys,
I wasn't able to catch the Newcastle game this past week. For anyone who watched, how did Atsu play?
Havent watched it too but read that whole Newcastle was poor so nothing special about Atsu.
Read the same thing, was hoping somehow that Atsu was solid in an otherwise lackluster showing or something. Not looking to transfer out but maybe will need to start playing defenders over him if the team keeps struggling.
defo keep at least one more week if that's your concern
I watched it and Newcastle were poor. It was a bad game lacking quality. I expect Newcastle to improve dramatically. Give him another week minimum
Yep not looking to transfer out any time soon at all, just wanted to make sure he was still at least getting forward and worth starting over Suttner or some other defender. Cheers
He got very far forward at times, but that is about it.
A number of touches in the box
Right, that's pretty much the type of info i wanted to hear. Thanks
Cheers
Which is the better option to keep over the next few?
A. Gabriel Jesus
B. Lacazette
The other will be transferred out for Kane.
Thanks
sell B
I'm captaining B next week, so him
imo
After seeing what Pep did to Jesus, you are still asking this?
Thanks all still not a clear cut decision
Gabriel Jesus -
Average first game away to Brighton, lack of a cutting edge at home to Everton and then withdrawn for a re-shape when down to 10 men with Aguero preferred to lead the line. With Kane facing Burnley at Wembley I'm thinking its time to drop the Brazilian. What do you guys think?
Same position as you...I'm thinking of going Kane (C), but I really want to give Jesus one more match.
i sold before price fall
main reason is his minutes
dont think he will get >70 mins
RMWCT
Foster/Elliot
Alonso | Trippier | Jones | Yoshida | Smith
Mhki | Eriksen | Jese | RLC | Carroll
Kaku | Kane | Firmino
Jese playing OOP looks a steal.
Thanks Guys.
Jese is still a punt and we don't know much but not bad pick.
Tem looks very good but maybe Smith>Mbamba?
Yeah I have swapped to Mbemba, didn't realise he got some minutes. Leaves 0.1 ITB. Arsenal cover is an issue but I don't see how I can get it all in.
1) KDB
2) Salah
out for
1) Pogba
2) Mkhitaryan
will pogba or mkhi rise again before deadline?
Thanks !

Hi
FFFix says lukaku is 11.7 but FPL says 11.6 . Why?
6 years, 8 months agoShould I use my 1 FT with:
Foster (Myhill)
TAA Yoshida Daniels (Mee) (Rosenoir)
Willian KDB Eriksen JWP (Carroll)
Firmino Lukaku Jesus
ITB: 1.5mil
Thinking of either TAA or Daniels -> Trippier/Jones/Dawson but worried about rotations
Also want Pogba but should I take a -4 hit? Who to replace?
