It’s time for our post-Gameweek members article next as we assess the data from the previous round of fixtures.
Manchester United and Spurs midfielders feature in our analysis, as do Stoke’s weekend goal hero and Newcastle United’s new frontman.
A Burnley centre-half and West Ham wing-back also catch the eye, while we also check in with a pair of two-goal frontmen from Arsenal and Man City.

Flying Elbows 🙂
Short term option?
Maybe as short as 45 minutes
Double YC's/straight red's.
The cards certainly are a problem and the only reason i can think of putting him in is because you already have 2 free transfers and the third wont stack
What if Pogbas only out for a week?
He probably still won't start. He's not an FPL option even if he does.
Hey Guys how likely is TAA playing this game week?
if hes not playing tonight in Cl, he might start on the weekend right?
or is there to much competition in that position?
please help 🙂
In the scoutcast Mark said he thinks TAA is nailed on for the easy games. I personally don't know.
Burnley is that count as an easy game?.....mark please be right 🙂
Yes, Burnley is in that category.
Looks like he'll be rotated with Gomez. So you want whichever is playing in the easier games I would think.
Even if he does play, do you want him? Not many clean sheets and he's not going to be whipping free kicks like Hoffenheim in all the time
Worth holding on to PvA under Roy?
I wouldn't be holding any CP assets unless they're 4.5mil or lower.
That's all they're worth atm.
Best mid over the next 4 weeks, ahead of my WC in gw 8
A) Alli
B) Salah
C) Hazard
D) Mkhi
E) Ozil
A easily.
B
D
If you dont have eriksen i would go salah then alli but salah may get benched after champions league games
A

When is a good time to play WC?
when you're thinking of taking a -16+
what if your team never looks like it needs a massive -??? and you fix it with your FT's... is that means your cruise,put your legs up like a Boss? 🙂
If I didn't need my tiny legs for perching I'd so be doing this right now. 😉
i was actually thinking that what if your selection is that solid of keepers, which end up with a lot of points coming towards gameweek 20 is there really a need to wildcard? i guess no. by that time everyone else trying to jump from on bandwagon to he next only to end up to get the same player you got from the beginning hahahahah 🙂 sounds like a boring way to play but man what if .........
When your team is in bad shape.
when needed
Anyone see Martial starting over Mkhi at the weekend?
Nope
It's Rashford or Martial usually
I suppose. Just both Martial and Rashford have been performing recently so Maureen might fancy starting them both
And he could do just that. Mkhi in the number 10 flanked by Martial and Rashford is a possibility
As Pogba is out now though, maybe both will start
Herrera
Nope, but I can see him starting over Rash/Mata
Get him if you want to be on tenterhooks before every Utd game and during the game too because he always takes him off.
Think I know the answer, but Bertrand to Bavies isn't worth a -4 is it?
I think it is
Nein
How good is this, I have 2 FT and considering:
Mane, Pogba, Chicha -> Choupo, Hazard, Firmino for -4
Haha sorry, wrong place
But I think it's worth it, will be lots of goals for spurs
Depends on if you can afford another .2 mil for him by waiting until gw6
Not for me.
Another week also gives you the chance to decide against getting Bavies if Rose is back in training or something (or if Bavies shares minutes with Son or something).
I think it probably is.
Im considering it myself tbh
Will Zappacosta rotate with Moses?
Will Aurier rotate with Trippier?
Yes
Yes
A couple of pages ago you were advocating getting Zappa into our teams?
Not me pal. Maybe you're talking to Zoumasbloomers.
Yes. I replied to Zouma's comment 🙂
Seems a confused fellow then 😀
He will rotate I imagine, just don't know in which tournaments! Moses may be for CL and Caracao cup or vice versa, or in the front three. It's a wait and see for sure though!
For sure! I think you're just very bored aren't you? Haha
Me too, and I'm in a small seminar, blatently ignoring the professor :/ oops
absolutely. My work day is going nowhere and I've done so much hypothesising about possible line-ups that I've pretty much muddled myself up.
yes
yes although Aurier my rotate with himself
Yes
No, eventually Aurier will be first choice.
Thanks all. Got Aurier and Trip in draft 😀
RMWCT
Thinking it's prime time to drop the Wild card bomb , 40,000th so far.
De Gea - Elliot
Suttner - Trippier - Dawson - Mee - Lascelles
Knockhart - De Bruyne - Erikkson - Pedro - RLC
Rashford - Friminho - Kane
I'm settled on the 3 big hitters in midfield just not sure on Pedro and Knockhart.
243 points?
244 , shipped Gross out last week aswell.
Wish I hadn't seen the 0.7% ownership stat ! FML
Trippier to Davies.
Must have a lot in the bank
How good is this, I have 2 FT and considering:
Mane, Pogba, Chicha -> Choupo, Hazard, Firmino for -4
Nice
It's sexual. It's smooth. It's sensational.
Was JoMo not talking about easing Hazard back in gently?
Do you think he's ready to be back as a nailed on starter?
It's more that he got rested yesterday, and some say Mkhi might be rested in the weekend and that Salah is sick..
I've been pondering this after having to ship Pogba...
Fellaini + Kane
or
Alli + Firmino
Which do we think will score more in the short term?
You're not seriously considering Fellaini?
UCL will Jorge and TAA start today ? thnx
yes
Yes
There's a post above which says TAA not playing tonight. Hotfuzz post above.
Nevermind. It says 'if'
so go foor taa or keep 1 pt?
How does this WC team look ? any changes needed ?
Elliott
Alonso Bavies Jones Naughton
Alli Salah Mkhi
Kane Firmino Vardy
Subs : Krul , Carroll, Chalobah , Gamez
Like it.
Like but believe Kane and Rom are necessary
Need to raise one million by downgrading one player, so which one of these is the wisest move in your opinion?
A. DDG to Gomes/Fabianski
B. Ramsey to Ritchie
In A Gomes/Fabianski will be rotating with Elliott.
Thanks.
A for me
A
Is it worth -8 to ditch Ake and Stephens for Davies and Wimmer/other 4.5m defender?
No defender worth -8 imo
No
not for me
No
Thanks all, I know it wouldn't necessarily be worth it this week but it's more about getting Davies in place.
Will probably just stick with my planned moves of DDG and Willian to Fabianski and Mkhi for free.
A) Ward and Joselu
B) Jones and Hemed
A
Yikes.
Neither.
A
Anyone else just stuck with not wanting anyone in their team?
Yes particularly in midfield.
Yes. Rn I just want a 424 formation tbh
I've found midfield the complete opposite of last season so far... The less mids in my team the better
On Wc:
Elliot
BDavies Jones Cedric D. Luiz*
Eriksen Silva* Ramsey
Firmino Kane(C) Kaku
Subs: Foster, T Caroll, Chalobah,
*Luiz to Kola next week
2 Questions left :
1) Who should I punt for 1 week before I get Kola
2) Pogba replacement - Silva or Miki or other?
1. BOU defender?
2. Silva
Which front 3 will get the most points over the next few gwks:
a) Lukaku, Jesus, Firmino
b) Kane, Jesus, Chicarito
I have Mhiki, Salah and Ericksen already so I'd be doubling up whichever big striker I choose.
Thanks
A
I think B...
Kane Morata/Lukaku Firmino...don't like either of those alternatives.
Stick with (C)avani or switch to Ronaldo?
stick for sure.
I would stick. How about Lewa (C) 16 pts?
I twisted
I have Lewa and switched to Ronaldo. I was so disappointed yesterday that he only scored 1 goal.
Stick
Please rank :
A) D Silva
B) Alli
C) Mahrez
D )Siggy
E) Salah
B-E-A-D/C for the next weeks IMO
B, A, E, C, D
How's this looking for the weekend?
Elliot
Bavies - Stephens - Yoshida
Alli - Mkhitaryan - Phillips - Gross
Aguero - kane - firmino
Foster - Carroll - Long - Rosenior
Will sort the Soton defenders out next gw after I have a concrete idea as to who's in favour.
I have a similar problem with double Soton defence. Do you have an FT's? I'm thinking of putting in Maguire for one.
Unfortunately not.
I'm looking to ship one for Kalsinac next gw. not worth a hit this gw.
Sounds like a plan. Can't see Kolasinac keeping a clean sheet this weekend.
Jam hot! Saints are a worry, though.
So how long are we all ignoring Sanchez? He's staying, he's 11.9m and has WBA BHA wat eve SWA after this GW. Let's not forget this is the same guy who got 264 points last season, 39 more than anyone else.
who do you fit him in a team though ?
I guess some compromises have to be made somewhere, but he's looking irresistible with those fixtures.
With what form?
I think there needs to be a standout cheap 3rd striker before I can think about him or Hazard
there are so many big hitters this year i dont think Sanchez or hazard will be essential this season, not for now anyway.
The same big hitters were present last year too, and Sanchez was more or less season breaking or season making.
mmh ali and erikssen were cheaper and jesus morata will probably score as many if no more points than him this season and they re cheaper. IMO anyway 🙂
Not before Chicharito or Rooney bangs a goal every two weeks
This!!!!
If joselu or Chupoa Chupps perform then
Joselu as cheap 3rd striker or a 352/442 become real options
I have room in my team for him, but I'm still ignoring him. I may save a transfer for the option to get him or Hazard next week, or I'll commit to 2FTs this week, and go without for a couple weeks or more.
I think if you're happy with your team, you don't need to rush anyone in to disturb the balance. It's not like Sanchez is low risk, either. It's a high stakes gamble
It's also a high reward gamble, he could easily net 60+ points in those fixtures.
go for it you ll regret it if he does well but maybe wait the following gw
Do you think he is going to start all the games in the coming weeks? Welbeck firing is of course a concern
Arsenal paid 60m to keep him for one year, of course he will.
then buy him, put him in your team, cap him and leave us all in your dust.
If you use the founds from Pogba to bring in a 5.5-6.0 mid you can use the rest to upgrade to Sanchez.
Is Alli/Eriksen/Salah to Sanchez an upgrade though?
Not even sure it is
He was effectively an out and out striker last season, with Lacazette (also around 50mil), he will likely go back to his left wing forward role. They may have spent 60 mil but they were still prepared to sell. The odds are he won't score as highly as last season. It will take a couple of games and some convincing before people WC to shoe horn him in.
I am utterly ignoring him
Is Sanchez + a 5-6m mid going to outperform two of Alli/Eriksen/Salah/Coutinho/Pogba/Mykhy? I don't think so.
Is Sanchez + 2x 4.5m defenders going to outperform Alli/Eriksen/Salah/Coutinho/Pogba/Mykhy + Bavies and Kola? I doubt it.
Staying clear personally.
This is also the same guy
- who wanted to leave the club
- had been complained by his national manager of being overweight
- haven't played enough games
- showing little stats
He should be accessed after a few games.
I will be captaining Kane over the next 4 fixtures though, and I'm not paying 11.9m for a player I am not going to captain. So I will be ignoring him for now.
This
You cant have Sanchez AND Kane + Lukaku/Morata + Salah + Alli/Eriksen, can you?
There you go.
Cant have them all and he is the second most expensive player in the game. Him or Kane, I choose Kane.
... until he proves he's in form, nailed on and playing in a cohesive unit that has the confidence to create and convert big numbers! That could be a while
It's Kane + either one of Lukaku or Sanchez. 2 captaincy options is enough, 3 is bad value
Well he did play as a CF in most of the games, something he won't do this season, for now he is not worth his price tag to me
Very true, his price tag was in part based on returns he made last season as centre forward that will be very difficult to achieve this year. Not to mention that he may not be on penalties this season either.
Yep. Although unlike most other players, his not being on pens might be considered an advantage for owners. 😕
We're not. He's gonna be in everyone's teams soon enough.
I'm afraid Lukaku would have to make way when his fixtures turn in 3 weeks.
Or a bit before that.
I own and I'm selling. Welbeck and Lacazette are in form. Might replace Ozil. I'm placing his funds up top
Madness. If you have him, keep him!
For us who don't have him, we'll be getting him sooner or later
How you fit in all these big hitters is a total lottery. Pays ya money and makes ya choice. Luck all the way from there. You just cant gave 'em all. Sanchez will come in but for who? At the cost of Kane? Luka? Or playing many cheapies to afford 3 biggies. They balnk and your gw is screwed. Its sooo hard.
He was hard for me to ignore on Friday after a bottle of malbec. Don't drink and manage.
I plan to hold him for those fixtures now though. Looked good. I just couldn't resist the Bournemouth fixture. Armband on into the bargain.
He's coming in every team as captain the week after he braces. All those too expensive posts can be safely ignored. Think the decision is down to whether you are willing to let others who are happy to roll the dice get that one week haul headstart. For 12m, it may be worth it if your other heavy hitters have good fixtures too.
Sanchez is essential when on form. It's that simple. All these arguments for not having him will go straight out the window. Something else - he is a solid explosive captain option. Kane is explosive. Lukaku sometimes.
One thing that is different to last year is because of the price differences, towards the end of last season most high ranking FPL managers had all three. Now it's tough to do that.
I'll be getting him in and probably ignoring Lukaku when the fixtures turn for Utd.
Sanchez's price makes him very easy to ignore!
Hi. 1FT and 0.9 ITB. Wildcarding after GW7 so only for 3 GWs.
DDG
Cedric | Monreal | Daniels
Salah | Mkhi | Willian | RLC
Kane | Lukaku | Firmino
Elliot | TC | Naughton | Long
A) Willian -> Antonio
B) Daniels -> Davies
C) Willian + Long -> Ritchie + Davies (-4)
I would do A and B
A
With money not an issue and with Kane who would be a good replacement for Pogba?
A) Eriksen
B) Alli
C) KDB (took him out for Pogba just last week...)
D) Silva
E) Coutinho
F) Mahrez
A is my fav..
A
Anyone in the sequence you've listed.
Should I do
a) Pogba + Willian -> Mkhi + Salah
b) Pogba + Willian -> Alli + D.Silva
Starting team will be:
DDG
Bertrand - Davies - Daniels - Dawson
Eriksen - xx - xx
Lukaku - Jesus - Gabbiadini
It's for a -4
Perhaps a, given you've 2 spurs.
The idea of b is to have both Alli and Eriksen instead of Kane.. Just worried that Salah wont do much the next weeks..
Predicted Score for Spurs vs Dortmund?
Very difficult, can easily end up in draw. 1-1?
Thoughts on Man City- either D Silva or Jesus ?
Jesus
potential WC, thoughts? Seems logical which is a worry...
Foster Elliot
Davies Mendy Jones Maguire Fodder
Eriksen Salah D Silva Carroll RLC
Kane Lukaku Abraham
That is:
Firm + Pogba > Salah + Abraham
Bert + Daniels + Suttner > Mendy + Maguire + Davies
Love the name. Absolutely excellent! 😆
I don't quite see how your back line justifies Abraham.
just getting seduced by wingbacks. I'm struggling to see a 8.1 mid, any suggestions?
I like D Silva a lot, but I am going with Sterling and Otamendi. I may also get Groß - he is on corners. That would be - 8, though.
did Sterling to Silva last week 🙂
Having 2 x 4.5 mids is proving to be a PITA.
best duo?
have also Alli + Jesus + BDavies
1 aguero + eriksen
2 Kane + silva
6 years, 7 months agoAm I the only one bringing in Fellaini?
Gets amongst the goals, Mou loves him, Pogba injured, cheap as chips...
What's not to like??
