We roll out our usual post-Gameweek delve into the members’ Opta data next, assessing some of the standout candidates over the weekend’s action.
Midfielders from Leicester, Liverpool and Stoke are among our Gameweek 11 headliners, as are Swansea and Brighton’s budget strikers, while we also analyse Romelu Lukaku’s recent decline in output as the transfers out continue.
Davies
Kolasinac - points tallies at home have been great.
Kola
Davies for sure!!
Davies for the one minute one pointer.
Kolatank
Ake or Daniels & why?
You first
Daniels - more attacking threat.
Dann

mobile or PC? OK for me on laptop.
what's happening? scrolling to the bottom of page?
That happens to me. Works proper when I turn of javascript but then I miss that nice side bar..
use a different browser ? , i never have any problems whatsoever while using Firefox on this site
Which would you pick for the next two?
A) Lukaku
B) Morata
Cheers. 🙂
Next two Lukaku
But then Morata, without any doubt
Thanks for the reply. I tend to agree. Just wondering whether it's worth getting Morata now on a WC and upgrade elsewhere.
Morata
Morata
Thanks all.
Lukaku or Kun post IB?
Struggling with this myself. Are you removing Jesus?
Vardy.
Have Morata and Kane atm.
Aguero
I'm on Kun.
I'm on Aguero
I've been convinced: Kun.
Risk is 1pt cameo the week Lukaku (c) bags 4 and 40pts...
Cheers all.
Would you go for Kun over Lukaku if you had Sterling?
Yes.
Aguero.
If you wanted to double up on Liverpool MFers in your WC team which other one would you have apart from Salah
Any ideas would be welcomed
Mane every day of the week
Couthino if fit
Mane. I'd really like to have both but can't afford it. Yet. Lallana might be an interesting alternative if
a) he can get fit
b) he can cement a place in the starting X1. When he's on form he's a very good player.
Mane
Mané or Couts both great options. At 0.4/5 saving I'd have Couts if fit. Bap monster and likely to score 10-15 goals a seaso on top of assisting for fun.
Is his mind still at Liverpool though ? I d go for mane
I owned him pre WC for two week and enjoyed 23pt return...maybe I'm biased 🙂
Is it worth burning a transfer on Jesus to Aguero or are we just running from one problem to another?
Ken feels way more capable of a week defining haul.
Kun is the main man but probably need to see out the Champions League matches before we really know. If City have won their ECL mini league I'd expect Aguero to start most EPL matches from then onward.
In order to improve your bench players, which one of Kane Aguero Morata would you downgrade to a Vardy or Firmino?
Morata. I’m trying to get Aguero in now so I can have Aguero, Kane, Vardy.
Aguerro for me cause the other 2 are nailed and you can just get 2 City mids for cheaper and if one gets benched it's easier to deal it.
I wouldn't have either of those 2 in my team though, much better value in midfield at that price, and no value in midfield at 5m (maybe Fernandino or Bakayoko) so for me Niasse/CL & Sané is much better value than Vardy/Firm and a 5.5m mid
I agree downgrade even more is a much better option
Have to agree with this.
Well the part about a cheap striker and a good mid anyway!
I'm too loyal to Kane. Much like people were too loyal to Aguerro last season
I wouldt have Vardy or Firmino at any cost saving - premium or chopper, nothing in between seems worthwhile
Aguero
How bad are the bench players? I have those three up top and am certainly not getting rid
Are Mane and Coutinho becoming injury risks to some extent? Seems like they've both missed a fair share of games since Coutinho 1st got injured last season and then Mane last Christmas. Maybe I wrong, just feels like it..
FFMag out today, for anyone who's interested!
Is it good ?
I think it's excellent
Things are changing so fast in the fantasy league world can a monthly magazine really be that useful ? Just wondered like, I admire the fact it actually exists 🙂
It's nothing like this website issuing weekly articles, which mainly are only relevant to the gw at hand and then become redundant.
Its more the methods of playing the game. They do interviews with FPL managers (good ones) and provide very good statistics.
Its a good read. Tipped Murray at the start to be the best striker option from the promoted teams and the guys who write it are pretty good managers aswell.
Agreed. Love the magazine.
Have you listened to their podcast? Very different to the Scoutcast but I like it.
No I haven't . Do you need to subscribe to do so ? Thanks for the info by the way
Nah, you'll find it on Reddit or SoundCloud. Last week's is currently the latest, not sure when they're recording again, probably next week
Not yet, but am going to, lots of pods out there, hard to catch them all. But definitely will give it a go. Any FPL elite guests on it?
I was sceptical at first but it's a good read. They do well to keep it relevant, long term strategies and interviews with good managers and even fpl playing footballer (like Begovic) so that it's not outdated as soon as you buy it!
Can you send me a copy to Australia please, AZ? I'll pay for postage.
The FFMAG will if you want them to. Or you can just read it online
Hello?
Good morning.
Sturridge and David Luiz —> Aguero and Dunk (-8)?
I can’t afford this if Aguero’s price increases, but ideally I wanna wait until after the deadline and do a (-4) instead. With Aguero scoring more than Kane with less minutes I feel he is one of the best players to have.
And yes, I do have Sturridge. Everything Klopp said pointed towards him starting last week :/
Have you already taken a -4? Making 4 transfers (with one free trabsfer) is asking for big trouble before an international game has even kicked off
Already used a free transfer to get Jones before he gets injured during the IB :). So these two transfers (Dunk and Aguero) would mean (-8). Hopefully Aguero won’t rise anytime soon so I can postpone as long as possible.
Sorry dunno where I came up with a 4th transfer..
Aguerro is only on +42 on FPLS so I wouldn't be making it until he looks certain to rise.
Today is Wednesday, the weekend transfers will ease to a snails pace until next Thursday and then pick up again so I wouldn't do anything until you know they're fit.
Thanks! Yeah that’s what I was thinking. I’m just not sure if I should do (-8) at the end of next week if his price looks certain to rise before the deadline. Think I might have to though...
The race to price rise...
Who do you think will rise (in price) first, Aguero(42.5) or Morata(35.5)?
Gonna be a pretty boring race for the next 7 or 8 days.
Yep - expecting to make 0.0 on the WC!
Aguero
Made the grand total of freaking 0 have .1 in Murray Fernandinio ward and sane who do you think will double rise
Salah
Bertrand > Jones (double up with DDG) for a FT
Yay or Nay? (although I missed the price rise)
Current defenders: Vertonghen Simpson Mee Mariappa Bertrand*
I would with no hesitation.
I would, but wait as long as you can.
Looks good
Thanks all
If Kane is fit I think am pulling the trigger
Which one do you prefer with a FT guys?
A Jesus to Kun/Lukaku or
B Davies to Daniels/Azpi?
B.) Azpi if you can
I can, but don't know if I should go without Kun, Lukaku for next few. They scare me more. You'd still go Azpi?
Depends what the rest of your defence is like this week.
Probably A to Lukaku with their fixtures
Mee - Jones - *Ota - *Davies - 3.9M
Kane - Morata - *Jesus up front.
B
B with Azpi or Daniels mate?
Azpi in that case.
Cheers mate.
B Azpi then
Captaincy doubt!!
For GW12 Aguero/Kane or should i try a mid capt as D. Silva/Eriksen??
Would go Kane. Loves a London derby
I'm going with Kane. These are the games that seem to be suiting him
Morning gents. Good start to season. 30k OR, 1 FT and 0.2 in bank. What would you suggest here (assuming Everyone stays fit)
Elliot
Jones Mee Naughton
Silva Sterling Salah RLC
Kane Lukaku Morata
Foster Cedric Mbemba Chalobah
A) Cedric -> Daniels (play instead of RLC)
B) Cedric -> Moreno (play instead of RLC)
C) Foster -> Pope (play instead of Elliot)
D) Chalobah -> Nailed mid
E) Save FT
Thinking A or E at moment...
C
Well done on your OR. I'd be tempted to save and assess Dann in the next match. Daniels looks good for 5 weeks but that's it and how many clean sheets are they likely to get. And RLC plays Everton so I'm more than happy to start him this week
Could do Pope, that transfer should pay off nicely
A for me.
I would ditch Chalobah only for Richa or Gross.
Please choose one
A) Morata, Kun, Sterling, Surman, Kola
B) Morata, Abraham, Sane, Silva, Azpi
B for me. I wouldn't get Kola in with the way Arsenal looking
A
B
If you're planning to play Suman every week, then B
B
What are your short-term strategies going forward?
I'm attempting to ensure I get to 5 playing, attacking defenders (WC fail lol) and, hopefully it pays off.
To get as many points as I possibly can.
Nope.
"a plan of action or policy designed to achieve a major or overall aim."
* My plan of action is to identify the players who will score the most points in the aim to move up the ranks of Fantasy Premier League.
I enjoy how little you managed to add to this.
Rafa dropping Clark shot me in the foot with that plan back in gw8 when I WC'd
I'm looking to save a ft next week and decide whether or not to go 3 big up front or have an extra premium midfielder and Azpi in defence so I'm unsure at the moment but happy enough to wait it out and see
Fabiabski,
Mee, Ota, Jones
Zaha, Salah, Sterling, Rich
Kane, Morata, Jesus
Elliott, Duffy, Chalobah, Hunemier
A) Ota & Jesus > Daniels & Aguero
Or
B) Ota & Jesus > Maguire & Lukaku
A
Sorry for being ignorant but there are no friendlies midweek before the deadline? Only play-offs?
Yes they're are lots of friendlies. No live scores app to check fixtures?
Morning. Who would you say is the best defender to invest in?
A...daniels 4.8
B...dunk 4.4
Thanks
Dunk. Better fixtures long term, Bournemouth's aren't good around Christmas
Daniels
Usually wouldnt take many hits on defenders but is this -8 worth it until the new year?
Cedric, Kola, Davies -> Azpi, Daniels, Mee ?
It probably is to be honest. Could easily pay off this weekend given their respective fixtures
This weekend is international break.
Apologies oh wise one.
Not for me
Current squad
Courtois
Jones,Daniels,Mee,mbemba,ota
Richarli,Eriksen,sane,Salah,Surman
Kane,Morata,Tammy
0ft 0.0ITB
Should I take a hit & downgrade mid & get Lukaku or kun or this is GTG??
You have two defenders that won’t play this GW. I would look at upgrading Mbemba first.
Trying to stay within top 1k. This is my current team.
Fabianski
Azpi Bellerin Mee Jones
Salah Richarlison Silva Sterling
Kane Lukaku
Subs: Elliot RLC Quaner Mbemba
Have 1 FT with 1.1mn ITB. Which option is better?
A) Bellerin -> Daniels
B) Mbemba -> Duffy/Francis
C) Silva -> Sane
D) Quaner -> Niasse
E) Save
B to Duffy
Arsenal have some 'guaranteed' cleanies upcoming so, if you can afford to bench Bellerin then could be a good gamble. Plus his attacking stats are nice.
Mbemba to Francis I like but, he's on 3 YCs.
Remember when United were gaurenteed a clean sheet vs Huddesfield.......
You really are a dingle.
It's true though. Someone on here said they will just take the 6 points DeGea will score and put the arm band on him as he was guaranteed a clean sheet.
Moral of the story..... nothing is what it seems in football.
Dingle.
Lol. Did you miss the air quotes? Seriously shouldn't have to explain sarcasm round here, the air is ripe with it.
I m tempted by Arsenal fixtures after Spurs. Depends when Mustafi is back i guess.
B Duffy
Cheers!
Is Cedric ever going to drop in price?
Find out in the next episode of Dragon ball Z...
In July when he starts the season at 4.5.
Hopefully not yet. I'm planning on selling but not until after the international games are done.
If one of the big boys at fpl towers owns him then no
Are these moves crazy for -4?
Brady and Vardy > Richarlison and King
No.
They aren't crazy or don't do it? 😆
Yes.
😉
I phrased this question all wrong, silly me 😆
Not sure about King...have you considered Tammy and some extra cash?
Don't like Tammy, Swansea don't score enough goals
And Bournemouth do?
No
I mean yes
Answered your question.
Oh gee, thanks Mr Gravless
Home matches against Utd and Spurs make Richarlison almost benchable in those 2 fixtures. Richarlison owner here
Brady has to go, but not sure about King. I have Abraham as my third striker but considering a shift to 3-5-2. What’s your full team?
Basically I have zero itb and 1 FT and definitely need to shift Brady Bunch
Any predicted double risers this itb? Building value in my wc
Salah probs
Salah I would say is a definite double riser
Jones and Sané possibly
Fernandinho, very slight chance
But if you haven't got these players already you're not going to gain sell value on them now
What Pep said
Salah, Sane, Jones
Is, the comparison of Daniels (4.8) & Francis (4.4) synonymous with, Ward (4.8) & Lowton (4.5)?
I.E. Worth the extra.
Daniels def worth the extra imo.
Higher points ceiling
Daniel has more 'goal threat'. If he acts on those threats then he may be worth it.
Indeed, tough one but ceiling = fun usually
Daniels is surely worth the extra. He is practically an attacking winger in an attacking team.
Ward may not worth IMO as it is the team defense that we rely on.
How do you arrive at him being a "winger"?
Same way people dubbed Alonso a "midfielder"
lol you reaaaaaaally want to argue that Alonso isn't a mid? Do Chelsea play 3-4-3? Does Alonso play in the back 3? Hmmm.
Daniels plays in a back 4, therefore isn't an "attacking winger".
A) Alli, jesus and sterling
or
B) Hazard, aguero and richarlison
