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.
B. Long live king Azpi
B
Is B not about 1.0 more expensive?
Yes it is.
The actual question is who will score more?
Azpi or DDG + 1.0 mil?
As per last page I think DDG offers ridiculous consistency at the minute. Tempting me
This consistency is tempting me too. Plus i have Jones as well.
DDG is great to own, really reliable coverage whereas Jones is great value, he's an injury long overdue waiting to happen

Hazard or Morata? . I don't like any of the 3rd striker options so went with Hazard on gw8 WC (4-4-2). Having non playing striker not ideal for Xmas fixtures. If I don't do Jesus -> Lukaku I could swap to 3-4-3 with Morata with 2 FTs.
Transfers would be Hazard & 4.5 -> Gross/Shaqiri & Morata.
Morata.
so you'd go without Lukaku for next 2? I could do Jesus to Lukaku, then switch to Morata after those 2 fixtures. If Pogba isn't back I think I'll keep Jesus for now
Honestly I don't think Lukaku is anywhere near the striker someone like Aguero is.
Look at those stats over recent weeks, 0 big chances in four weeks.
I just think there are better options and morata is one of them. I think he will outscore Lukaku.
Its not down to Lukaku, but Mou, his tactics and United’s injuries. He has what now, 7 goals and 3 assists? Scored 25 for Everton last season. Every football fan only remembers the last match. Yall gon get burned.
Mkhi has been dreadful. We've basically played with 10... If Pogba returns I'll consider getting Kaku (and likely will). If not I think I'll go without.
My exact thinking.
He played Huddersfield during this period. Do you think Mou was tactically parking the bus vs them too?
Summary - zero form.
Oh, I do agree with that. I just don't have any easy way to bring Kun yet. And it's not between Kun and Kaku for me. It's been Jesus and Kaku for next 2-3.
So I have to compare Lukaku for Jesus in next 2-3 fixtures. I could see us struggling against Newcastle and Brighton especially if Pogba isn't read yet. Jesus coming even from bench can easily match or outscore him. And he might start, who knows.
Yes, that might be to true and I agree. Getting Pogba back is going to be massive for United. But United lost, Lukaku has not scored in a while, its at home and united need to win. Maybe im just convincing myself as a United fan, I have Lukaku and not getting rid at least. Zlatan back in training as well could take his place also? Guess time will tell.
I think you are blinded due to being a Utd fan.
A neutral will have a better opinion than a fan because we have no reason to hate Lukaku, we just want to pick players who will score us the most points, which sadly is not Lukaku right now.
Morata
Say you're a chairman of a new PL team. Who's the first player you attempt to sign with an unlimited budget
Messi.
Who would yours be?
between Azpi and Pogba
Ben Mee
Love this 😆
😆 Not Mbemba 😉
James McClean
De Gea. Build from the back.
Yawn !!!
Interesting. For me it'd be Neymar. 5 years younger than Messi, 7 younger than Ronaldo.
Mbappé could be interesting as well.
Coax Unsworth out of retirement to play in the centre of a back 3
Mbappe, gonna be a world beater
Kante.
Marco Verratti and build everything around him.
If I had an unlimited budget I would go for this:
De Gea
Chiellini Hummels Silva
Walker Kante KDB Sandro
Ronaldo Messi Neymar
I would sign Moyes and give him the money to buy the players
Lovren, to help LIV be rid of him
Easy, Ronaldo
Bottomed:
Does anyone think De Gea is being completely overlooked at the moment?
His consistency of returns is phenomenal, and fixtures are about to turn in his favour...
Seems exceptional value to me.
He's been in my team all season and isn't going anywhere.
He’s in 40% of FPL teams so wouldn’t say overlooked.
This
I've had him since GW1, and he's been fantastic. Been tempted to free up funds by downgrading, but he's just such a reliable source of points.
Could seriously be the first GK to get 200 points. All he needs is a penalty save or two & it becomes a reality
World no.1 has him
On WC, would you rather a 3-5-2 with Gross, or a 3-4-3 with Murray?
Going with Murray means a better bench and more budget, but I'm slightly concerned about Hemed coming back in.
Biggest problem of 3-5-2 or 4-4-2 is the lack of a starting 4.5m striker. Murray could get rotated with fixture congestion considering he’s a bit older.
Murray in 3-4-3 for me.
What do you guys think about Simone Francis? Is he a good value at 4.4 and is he nailed?
Any other better defender at 4.4? Already have Dunk btw!
Those are the two best at that price. I prefer Francis.
He is nailed, that's for sure
Thanks guys!
I went Daniels for attacking threat. Hope it doesn’t work out like last year when I spent extra on Brunt over McAuley for OOP and attacking threat. I wanted to vomit every time McAuley scored.
From the same team I prefer Daniels for 0.4 more
From the same price I prefer Dunk
If you already had Salah and Aguero, which one is the better?
A) Kane, Sane, Richarlison
B) Kane, Mane, Richarlison
C) Morata, Sane, Mane
Close between A and B, probably would have picked B because Mane is more nailed
a
A
I like c for a punt
Yeah, A more balanced
I'm on Wildcard, so trying to catch price rises when I can.
Before Pope rises tonight, is it worth replacing Fabianski or Elliot with him?
Fab. Keep Elliot
Done. Cheers
Fab
Why are Sterling and kane flagged?
International Break.
both have pulled out of the England squad
Kane owner here...so hopefully - International break "injuries"...
Kane had that knock in CP game, though.
international "injuries"
they'll be fine
Am I under wrong impression - there is little or no mentioning at all of Mane?
(not just in article - also in comments - WC teams, essential mids...)
Overlooked? Forgotten?
2 assists, 2 BPS for 76min
In Salah's shadow for now - he will likely bag the next brace & triple rise in a GW
Rather have pool double up in midfield than city, regular starters
This. I am very tempted to do Eriksen > Mane and double up with Salah.
They are still regular source of points doesn't matter the minutes
City are consistently more attacking though, and doesn’t matter about mins, can score from bench etc.
I'm getting him gw13
Not by me, already in my team, would have got him sooner if Klopp had given any indication he was starting
He's just come back this week and there are so many mids who've been returning well. If you look immediately at shifting a decent performing mid for another, then you're doing it wrong. You do it when the need arises.
Mane is explosive with a proven track record and good fixtures, I'd say there is a need to get such a player in early before his price sky rockets, love a good bargain
Want does not equal need.
Which one will score more over the next two:
A. Vardy (MCI, whm)
B. Jesus (lei, hud)
Vardy hatty against West Ham. Jesus rotation could only play 30 mins each game
Fernandinho as a 4th mid? Nailed, cheap and 2 goals / 3 assists so far
5th- maybe
4th- no
Hotel-trivago
A) De Gea + Daniels + Hazard
B) Pope + Azpillicueta + Eriksen
B
A
b
B, but with Mane/Salah instead of Eriksen
A
Captain Lukaku if Poggles is back?
Not for me. I prob won't even transfer him in.
same
Same
Best Salah enabler? (Up to 4,7m)
A. Dann
B Lowton (already got Mee)
C. Moreno
D. Someone else (already got Lascelles)
Dunk/Duffy
Francis
This what I did

thoughts on this -4 to tidy up my team a bit
Fabianski and Davies to Speroni and Azpi?
Fabs is becoming liability and doesn't keep clean sheets in the easy games?
Fabs Elliott
Davies Ward Jones Francis 3.9
Salah Sterling Gros Atsu RLC
Lukaku Kane Aguero
dont really like Flappyhandski to speroni
agreed Davies needs to go
Do it for free
cant afford as short for Davies to Azpi!
lots of other options
Which combo will score more
A.kane zaha
B.morata mane
Both combo 19.6mill
B
A
Really depends on the rest of your team
He asked only to compare the two options..
Context does matter tho... for instance if he had hazard and salah then A would be a better option
Kane and Atsu -----> Richarlison and Lukaku for minus 4?
Yes/No
NO
Rid of Kane for Lukaku? Are you high?
No
Hmm. Maybe yes.
Anything involving Kane out is a no
A) Azpi, Richarlison
B) Vertonghen, Zaha
A
Easily A
A
A
Sell Otamendi or bench and play Duffy(STK)?
Bench.
sell if its for free
keep if it's -4
Really hate that people make transfers so early into a international break. Grrr!
It's all part of the game . Some gamble to get better TV .
Why?
I have transfers lined up for next GW but they leave me 0 ITB. If a player rises or falls before then it means I can't do the moves I want. Just don't understand buying/selling players before internationals where people always end up getting injured.
See above .
Chill
Can I get some advice on the below please?
1) Sane, Stirling, Abraham or
2) Stirling, T Carroll, Morata
Caroll would be benched most weeks and I currently have Jesus who I’m planning on moving to either Morata or downgrading him to Abraham to fund Sane. 1 would mean I could switch between 4-4-2 and 3-4-3 and 2 would be 3-4-3
A
A. Duffy
B. Dunk
C. Moreno
Pick a 5th defender
Dunk
Duffy
c for sure
Missed opinions 😆
Kane's scores in away games after a home blank:
13 (Everton)
13 (West Ham)
17 (Arsenal)
Would you guys do Eric Choupo-Moting for Zaha, for free? Bear in mind the 1.2m.
Yes
Think so mate
Appreciate the replies, fellas.
Genuinely dont know where to go with this team. Sitting at 78k OR after salah spanked me...
Pope
Mee Alonso Kolasinac Jones
Hazard Silva Richarlison RLC
Kane Jesus
Elliot Carroll Otamendi quaner
1ft.. 2.3m itb
Have no real concerns apart from that i dont own a liverpool mid. And trying to move to a 4-4-2
Purchased Silva at 8.1, my sell price is 8.3 and his current price is 8.5. If he falls tonight (looks likely) will my sell price go down to 8.2 or stay at 8.3?
Yes
8.2
Cheers
Worth losing Ben Foster for a hit? WBA are useless
no.
yes
Depends on who it's for and if you think they are guaranteed to keep a couple of clean sheets in their next few matches
For Pope I think yes it pays off long term. Possibly even this gw
Scoutcast tonight?
Tuesday next week
now smalling nailed?
pick one for combo with jones + gomez + walker + ....
a) smalling
b) mee / ward
c) francis / daniels
thanks
