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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

  1. Pogba vital to United success

    "Since the start of September, Manchester United have created less than Stoke City, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth"

    thats an incredible stat. was pogba really at the heart of everything united did?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 29 days ago

      Yep, pretty much. Him playing has a knock effect for the rest of the team, a bit like Kante with Chelsea

      1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 29 days ago

        Deluded. He was average.

        1. Jazz!
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 29 days ago

          Pogba? Average? Lol.

        2. Biondi
          • 9 Years

          You are the one who is actualy deluded Eden Wizard

    2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 29 days ago

      That's insane - a team that has spent that much shouldn't be that reliant on 1 player!

    3. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 29 days ago

      Remember when they were scoring 4 goals a game, then they weren't?

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 29 days ago

        And Pogba had a higher point per game than everyone else. Still does I think

        1. Sánchez
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 29 days ago

          (nope, kun overtaken him it seems)

    4. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 29 days ago

      He’s the link between defence and attack. People may give him stick because of the price tag but at the end of the day he makes a massive difference to the team.

      1. Jazz!
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 29 days ago

        Ya, most important player in our team. Amazing CM and no one like him.

        1. Jazz!
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 29 days ago

          In our squad that is.

    5. El Muñeco
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 29 days ago

      Reports that Pogba will be back immediately after the International break might be perfect timing then for potential Lukaku buyers.

      Here's hoping enough people sell to eek out 1 more drop

      1. XabiAlonso
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 29 days ago

        Perfect timing for pogba buyers

        1. Going Home
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 29 days ago

          Would love him to be the most transferred in - currently worried about the curse hitting Salah!

          1. XabiAlonso
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 29 days ago

            Got to see past one week

    6. Freddo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 29 days ago

      Can't read too much into that, Jose was never going on the front foot against the better teams.

      Chelsea was the exception not the rule.

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 29 days ago

        I don't even think United were on the front foot, I think their CMs were just all over the place so it looked open

    7. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 29 days ago

      LOL Absolutely NOT. Just look at the fixture changes.

    8. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 29 days ago

      I think that is all down to Mourinho's tactical setup vs stronger sides in a recent fixtures. Pogba did matter but it's not all because of his injury.

    9. makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 29 days ago

      Combination of many things imo. Pogba injury, Mkhi's drop in form, Herrera is less influential than last season, fixtures and mentality against the best sides..

      1. FredtheRed
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 29 days ago

        This ^

      2. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 29 days ago

        This.

        Either way though, Pogba's return and the change in fixtures should mark an upturn.

      3. Biondi
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 24 days ago

        Herrer is never influential when United is attacking. He defends well and very discipline, makes organization of the team easy. He only makes short tidy passes, but after that he runs to find spaces, he let the man that he passes on to create. He rarely dares to make creative passes such as speculative long ball or through balls.

    10. @persecuted_by_mods
        8 years, 29 days ago

        As a Utd fan I've maintained from the start of the season that top 4 is the aim, spurs city and Chelsea are better teams than us. Title talk made me laugh at the start after matching the worst teams in the league.

        Pogba is a big miss but fpl wise I think there are better value players.

        In real life, his presence gives its a big boost although some of his decision making can be bang average.

        1. Freddo
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 29 days ago

          Top 4 being the aim doesn't quite cut it when you look at the money he's spent.

          If he don't win the league, he's failed and should be fired.

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              8 years, 29 days ago

              Oh i didn't mean that, Mourinho needs a top 2 finish and a genuine run at the title/ or to go far in the champs league

              But looking at the squad its 3rd or 4th for sure, have been gobsmacked by how many people thought a title was realistic

        2. HNI
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 29 days ago

          Think its obvious that a top 10 player in world can change the fortunes of a team...What is it to hottopic?

          1. Pieterke30
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 29 days ago

            He is not even close!

            He has the ability to become p’e of the very best but Im still waiting for consistency from him. With his ability he should be mich more influential that he actually is.

            1. HNI
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 29 days ago

              He was getting consistent this season but as soon as he got exceptional he had a hammy. This was his third hamstring pull and he is still 24...if he continues this trend of injuries I have to agree with you he wont be even a top 100 player :/

        Kane flagged for knee injury..
        Will it be to excuse international duties?

        If real injury.. who shld I bring in? Kun or morata better option? Leicester and wba respectively

        Or is bavies/yoshida a more urgent case? Thanks guys

        1. Sánchez
          • 13 Years

          It's basically his much needed rest

        Jones Otamendi Mee
        Hazard Salah Richarlison Sterling
        Kane Aguero Niasse

        Elliott RLC Moreno Naughton

        1. suddenorgan
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 29 days ago

          Niasse could easily be out of the team by then depending on who Everton appoint, otherwise good

        2. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 29 days ago

          yep wouldnt be happy with Niasse. great team otherwise

        3. Cityzen Kane
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 29 days ago

          Ive gone Niasse too.... think it;s worth the risk, but he's first sub material for me

          • 11 Years

          i think that might be a good move 🙂

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 29 days ago

          Steal at 4.4 if Bmouth tighten up

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 29 days ago

            i m getting him as part of my 2 ft, will replace lowe and rotates well with burnley

        2. Pep Roulette
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 29 days ago

          Do you guys think he is nailed?

          1. The Wise Owl
            • 10 Years

            Yes.

          2. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 11 Years

            • 8 Years
            8 years, 29 days ago

            Think he is/was captain, not too sure on their situation

            1. Kun, Ayew Nigerian?
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 29 days ago

              He's always been the captain till date.

              1. CFC96
                • 8 Years

                Alright, therefore 100% nailed lol.

        Guys due to popular demand thinking of doing a podcast. What's the easiest way to do one?

        1. Pirlø's Pen
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 29 days ago

          I think you should start up a YouTube series! But make sure you don’t include visuals or sound.

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 29 days ago

            there s already quite a few out there but good luck 🙂

        2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 29 days ago

          Audacity is a free recording software if on Windows. Nothing special but it is free. Pretty straightforward to then just upload audio files to soundcloud/youtube/your own website (and probably spotify and itunes under "podcasts" but never done that).

          The guys from WGTA do a podcast so may be useful than me

          1. @chapellefpl OR 577TH
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 29 days ago

            Anyway to do it straight from your phone?

            1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 29 days ago

              Voice memo's app maybe? If not I'm sure there's free apps on Google Play/App store depending on what phone you have

              Probably a soundcloud app you can upload directly into

              (Don't actually know this, making a lot of assumptions!)

        3. The Wise Owl
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 29 days ago

          If you have a laptop or computer, get yourself a USB microphone, download some free audio software (Audacity for example), and then bit the record button. Simple.

          1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 29 days ago

            Tbh in a carpeted room the in-built laptop microphone would probably be fine if you don't want to spend any money!

        Would you downgrade Aguero to Morata now or swap Sterling to Pogba in a few weeks? I want to keep at least 2 city attack.

        Sane Salah Zaha Richarlison Sterling
        Kane Aguero

        As much as Morata has great fixtures, Aguero could still easily get more points?

            Looks good to go. Wouldn’t do 2 or 4 for a hit unless I’m gonna captain them.

            Don’t favour taking hits for defenders or keepers as well.

        Question about FPLS

        Take Ota for example. Currently on -40.

        Lets say WC's are responsible -20 worth of his delta.

        Come Friday week (night before deadline day) he's at -100

        Have the WC transfers out been accounted for at this stage or will they not be able to calculate the WC transfers until the deadline passes, therefore he would only have reached -80 on the Friday night but FPLStats had know way of knowing.

        Or do they have a way of knowing?

        1. Frank Koscielny
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 29 days ago

          I thought the whole idea was that wildcard transfers aren't supposed to affect the changes in price.

          1. Pep says
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 29 days ago

            They don't, I'm asking do FPLS stats have a way of knowing who's transferring him out on WC or not?

        2. FPL ZB
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 29 days ago

          Transfers usually slow when people on WC, i remember people looking like rises and falls tend not to rise and fall as quickly, so possibly their algorithms doesn't account for WCs

      • Frank Koscielny
        • 9 Years

        Forster + Davies + Ritchie to

        2. Pep says
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 29 days ago

          That would depend more on what players you have as opposed to TV and points difference imo.

          Could be either of you with just the information you've given

          1. Pep says
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 29 days ago

            For example I'm 16pts behind 2nd in my ML, have 1m more TV than him but I much prefer my players to his so I'm happy where I am.

          2. Pep says
            • 10 Years

            21pts behind 1st but he's used TC and he's team looks in trouble going forward (WC Gw6) so again, I prefer to me in this case also

          1. Going Home
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 29 days ago

            Crazy talk! I would only consider getting rid of Luiz (but wait for more news) and Davies (although likely to start v Arsenal so not immediately pressing) from those. Firmino plays for a team which scores goals for fun; Speroni plays for one of the worst defensive teams in the league; Alli is a great option and now comfortably the cheapest way into the Spurs attack; Fab's minutes appear far from nailed, although Lanzini probably not the best option.

            Assuming you have two FTs and £0 ITB, what about

            Luiz
            Davies
            Lanzini

            to

            Richarlison

          Morata imo. Think they will get a similar number of points, but there are better

        2. Homer21

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 29 days ago

          Morata. He is provided a wide berth of chances; although Hazard has good baseline bonus, if Morata scores, as he's a forward, he will immediately accumulate a good bonus.

          Slightly cheaper, too!

          Ramsey but i suggest to get him back when his fixtures get better. The best Arsenal option

          1. Going Home
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 29 days ago

            I know he's the first to go in that list, although part of me thinks shipping Sterling will cause me a lot less issues over the festive period (also bring me far fewer points!)

          Nobody. Don't believe the hype.

            • 14 Years
            8 years, 29 days ago

            This could be an option, would definitely hold fire until hes shown that he's back in the points. Had planned to get him for next week, but that was assuming he'd got some minutes beforehand

      • Dele
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 29 days ago

        Anyone else gonna jump on Scott Dann? Surely a goal is due.

        Also do we see any clean sheets on the horizon for Palace.

        Is Daniels the safer yet more boring option to go for?

        1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 29 days ago

          Daniels, should get a few CS and hoping for attacking returns.

        2. Pep says
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 29 days ago

          I'm not gonna jump on him but he's looking a better option than Dann over the Christmas period and Palace if Palace shape up at the back then they are a better defensive unit than Bournemouth so imo, Dann could be the better option. Wait and see for me though as I'm wasting a transfer until I'm set

          1. Dele
            • 9 Years

            I’m guessing you meant Dann looks better than Daniels over the Christmas period?

      • Going Home
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 29 days ago

        Found myself thinking the other day, does anyone look at teams in their MLs who have played TC/BB/FH and knock points off their total?

        For example, I'm about 30 off top in one cash league but he has played his TC (for a Jesus 3 point total return). Consider him to be about 5/10 clear in the overall scheme of things
        In the same league, second place is 10 ahead of me but has used his FH. I consider myself to be be far better placed than him.

        Am I alone in these thoughts?

            • 14 Years
            8 years, 29 days ago

            This is the issue. The FH chip I see as guaranteed free points in a BGW, as it is unlikely that anyone will get 11 out without hits. The TC relies a little more on luck, but something like Sanchez destroying Stoke and Sunderland again this year would be greatly appreciated

              The free hit chip is currently immeasurable.

              Last season I got shafted with players like Phillips and Stanislas.

              Some who had Mawson King and Kaku (c) did quite well that week. If you only had those 3 players then you were above average.

              So it'll all come down to luck. If I'd had my FH last season, I would have had these 3 players (not hindsight, Mawson had been scoring in previous games, as had King) but I was afraid to take anymore hits than I'd already taken

              Some people will have used their FH chip to huge advantage in any given GW. Come the blank GW, they may just happen to have the 3 or 4 key players who will result in them doing just as well as people with the FH chip, so he's better off in perspective.

              Some people used the chip to end up with a worse score than their actual team. Come the blank GW, they could get hurt by injuries and end up doing poorly in the blank GW also.

              Or you'll have people somewhere in the middle. So, whatever people do, it'll work for some, it'll be horrible for others, and there'll be plenty somewhere in the middle.

              For me, holding the free hit is important. Even though I dont know how it'll play out, I know I will avoid the headache of planning 2 months in advance to get players in and ignoring players with better potential who have a blank GW coming up. I can play my game looking at the best options and moving on these guys and when the blank comes, if my team has 2 players playing, welcome FH Chip. I might pick the wrong players on it, but at least I'll field 11 and won't have to worry about my team before or after the blank

          I don't give his chips a value but I definetly acknowledge that I have mine and he doesn't and I can just hope that mine comes off nicely when I do play it

            Probably a better philosophy

        OK completely random and not specifically related to FPL, but how come when I post a comment and add an EMOJI it appears on my comment line but when I hit the post button it then does not appear on the page! HELP!

          Mustn't recognize the script. You can use emojis but you have to use special characters to do it.
