The Digest – Gameweek 7

Alexis Sanchez explodes into form with a hat-trick against Leicester. Tottenham’s momentum is building after sweeping aside City, whilst the big hitters are finally starting to deliver. Here’s our thoughts on Gameweek 7 in this week’s Digest…

The Player

A stunning hat-trick in Arsenal’s 5-2 thrashing of Leicester finally announced Alexis Sanchez’ return to Fantasy form this season.

After a sluggish start, mainly brought about by his exertions for Chile in this summer’s Copa America, the Gunners’ wide man eventually translated his superb underlying statistics into Fantasy returns to reward those who patiently stood by his abilities as a heavy-hitter.

One look at last season’s returns highlights Sanchez’ explosive, yet erratic, showings. Somewhat surprisingly, the former Barcelona man produced returns in just 15 of his 35 league outings, blanking on 20 occasions, yet still racked up 16 goals, eight assists and 207 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) points in his debut year at the Emirates.

Clearly, then, Sanchez will frustrate us and has the potential to embark on barren runs but has such a strong upside that, as Saturday’s 20-point haul demonstrated, going without him can be a dangerous tactic.

With Arsene Wenger now believing that his star player is finally back to his best, it’s little wonder that Sanchez is the second most transferred-in player since the weekend, as Fantasy managers belatedly scramble for a piece of the action.

The Team

An outstanding comeback win over City on Saturday stretched Tottenham’s unbeaten run to six matches as Mauricio Pochettino’s men moved into sixth spot after seven Gameweeks.

Encouragingly for Spurs and Fantasy managers alike, the club’s form at both ends of the pitch bodes well for future returns. Kevin de Bruyne’s early strike at the Lane is the only goal Pochettino’s side have conceded in the last four, with clean sheets accrued against Everton, Sunderland and Palace over that period. The summer addition of Toby Alderweireld at centre-half, allied with the decision to move Eric Dier into the double-pivot has paid off handsomely in terms of improving resilience, and the duo’s potential at both ends of the pitch was highlighted after they both bagged a goal in the 4-1 thrashing of Manuel Pellegrini’s men.

Crucially for Pochettino, his attack finally seems to have found their form. Spurs went into the weekend having scored just five goals in the first six fixtures but ran riot against City. Harry Kane finally opened his account for the campaign, whilst fit-again Christian Eriksen – who was afforded his first start since Gameweek 2 – has now earned an assist in each of his last three outings. With Erik Lamela chipping in with a goal and assist, and Heung-Min Son’s energy boosting their pressing game in the final third, the north London outfit are starting to click.

The upcoming schedule – which sees that face Swansea, Liverpool, Arsenal, West Ham and Chelsea in the next seven – is by no means easy but, as evidenced on Saturday, Spurs look to have the form and momentum to prevail.

Talking Point

Sanchez and Kane’s return to form was mirrored by Daniel Sturridge as the Liverpool striker netted twice in a 3-2 win over Aston Villa.

Finally back in first-team contention in the previous Gameweek, Sturridge thrived alongside the dynamic Danny Ings as Brendan Rodgers kept faith in his 3-4-1-2 formation. Tellingly, Sturridge played from start to finish against Tim Sherwood’s side, suggesting he’s fast approaching full match sharpness after months on the sidelines.

After a number of weeks where the big hitters have failed to justify their hefty price tags, is the tide starting to turn? So far, the Fantasy games have been dominated by Leicester pair Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy whilst Dimitri Payet has wasted no time in bringing his Marseille form to the Premier League.

Last weekend served a timely reminder, though, that top class talents will prevail and keeping faith in the premium picks can pay off. As Sergio Aguero (NEW, BOU, NOR) and Eden Hazard (SOU, AVL, LIV) both prepare for three home matches in the next four, their loyal owners will be hoping that the duo take their cue from last week’s events and start to justify their premium price tags.

      Someone help me out, stuck what to do...

      De Gea / McCarthy
      Cedric / Stones / Cresswell / Kolarov / Naughton
      Sterling / Payet / Barkley / Sako / Mahrez

      any ideas?

      1. Daaf
        • 9 Years

        The abscence of Hazard, Sanchez, or De Bruyne could hurt your ranking, are you not worried about this?

        1. oxllie
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          maybe, I wanted KDB but how would I afford that move? I was thinking of saving my FT, and seeing how I go this week and then see what happens from there

    2. Judas
      • 11 Years

      punty front line. bit of a risk

    3. Daaf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Is this a wildcard team? Looks that way! The team is alright, but I prefer a more flexible 3-5-2 / 3-4-3 approach and Wanyama makes that kind of hard to do. I like the Sturrdige pick, Gestede could be decent but he will not give you a lot of team value I suspect and Martial has proven he can score and assist. Overall a bit top heavy with a lot of big hitters, I don't think that's neccesary. Also
      I think Panti doesn't deserve a place in your team, the defence in front om him is terrible and Cattermole can always get a red card with his challenges.

  2. Sjaugen

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Tajic vs Mane
    Tajic seems like a steal comparing those. Performance wise + pen kicker
    Am i missing something?

    Ditching Ayew or Mahrez (thanks Doos) with my next FT

    1. Sjaugen
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That's Tadic

    2. Pea Soup
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      What's this about ditching Mahrez?

      1. Sjaugen
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Contemplating that Vardy might be enough Leicester cover.
        Plus I want to get in on the Southampton train

    3. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Tadic is a little more likely to lose his place should J-Rod return. If not, probably his penalties. But yeah, i like him.

  3. Epic Fail

    Do you think anyone will ever win FPL twice? Or at least be in with a shot twice?

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not win twice - I could see last year's winner or SpiderMatt being in contention again though

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Not this year though, I can see there being a random winner this year - first year of FPL or something

    2. Sjaugen
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Way too many variables to allow for that.
      0.025 in a ten year range manybe

    3. Bubz
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I've been mainly concentrating on winning my first but I do intend on winning it twice yeah

    4. The Chosen One...
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      no to winning, but will probably be in with a shot

    5. Judas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      nope

    6. Eden Hazardous
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      2 people with the same name may win but no

    7. Alan The Llama
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not even close.

    8. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      So basically the winners are lucky gits.

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        🙂 Not if I win 🙂

      2. fusen
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        a huge factor in winning is luck...because we have no control over the actual players. We can choose someone who we think will score well but if they break their leg in the first minute of a game, you had no control over that outcome. = luck

  4. xarion.22h
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    IS wilson -> Vardy a goood option for -4 ?? i have mahrez also

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Depends who is your sub if you do nothing?

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        This.

      2. xarion.22h
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        McCarthy(mignolet)
        Kompany/Evans//Williams/Francis(targett)
        Payet/sanchez/kdb/Mahrez(westwood
        aguero/martial(wilson)

    2. ladsofbunch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I did it myself, if Lei continue to score goals every game having both Mahrez and Vardy can pay off

      1. xarion.22h
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        if lei doesnt scores than ? 😀

        1. ladsofbunch
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Then you look at alternatives, doesn't look like they will stop scoring at the moment. Very attacking side 🙂

    3. 42 Rules
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I can only see goals in that Norwich v Lei game so yes.

      1. xarion.22h
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        yeahh me too also leicester have better set of upcoming fixtures than any other striker

  5. Judas
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Currently my defence is a bit of a mess as Gomez, Muniesa and Targett have all lost their place, however not owning Payet vs sunderland this weekend scares me, what to do?:

    A: Gomez ---> WBA defender (-4)
    B: 5th MID Westwood ---> Payet (Play my All out Attack Chip) (-4)

    B would give me:

    Butland
    Kolarov, Francis
    Payet, Sanchez, Ayew, Mahrez, KDB
    Aguero, Igahlo, Vardy

  6. Royal5
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    With Wilson out could this make Ritchie more appealing? More attacking and on pens?

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Murray may be on pens.

      1. Royal5
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Forgot they'd bought him.

    2. ladsofbunch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I would hold off and see if they can keep scoring without Wilson. Overall I think there are better options in midfield

      1. Royal5
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I agree. He hasn't done much tbf. Was always hoping he could do what CA did with Blackpool.

  7. Mr. Grv
    • 10 Years

    Got on the martial wagon and got a sv +.2 and my first captain points .
    On WC should I keep him or ditch him ?

    1. ralfb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      keep, he looked really good last weekend

    2. The Gambler.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      na keep...value will keep increasing, wilson sellers

  8. Bubz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Pedro ----> KDB (-4). Talk to me. I feel this transfer could pay off in the long run, if not this weekend. Thoughts?

    1. Dr Dream
      • 12 Years

      Silva....

      1. Bubz

        Is he alive?

        1. Dr Dream
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Training again.

    2. ralfb
      • 10 Years

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years

      Probably. Just be prepared for a kdb benching from time to time

      1. Bubz
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Wuuut? Why?

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Pelle has this love affair with navas.

          He will play majority of games though esp at the minute when they are struggling

          1. Bubz
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            God Navas is shite. Ig KDB gets benched for Navas I will lose the will to live

            1. Forza Juventus

              Agreed fully lol.

      2. ralfb
        • 10 Years

        nobody benches a kdb

          Maureen

    4. Royal5

      Not for a hit.

      1. ralfb
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        why not in long term, you might get kdbs points for one gw more than waiting until next week, also you can then sort other stuff next week

    5. A.T
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure it worth a hit but yeah why not.

      1. Bubz
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Not sure this season can get any worse. May as well.

        1. Royal5
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Was Pedro really that bad? Surely Chelsea will look to bounce back against Southampton.

          1. Bubz
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            He has been terrible from what I've seen of him

            1. Royal5
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Kdb was pretty poor himself in the last game.

              1. Bubz
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                His finish was pretty good when he scored

                1. Royal5
                  • 13 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  I think kdb is a good pick. Just not sure about the -4, not writing Pedro off just yet.

    6. ladsofbunch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      KDB looks very good, I think it can be a good move if your hit also gives you a decent playing alternative on the other sub.
      Must capt KDB against Newcastle ofc

      1. Bubz
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Over Aguero?

        1. ladsofbunch
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          If you bring him in he's still a strong differential and can justify the hit. I'd strongly consider him over Aguero if I had him in my team. Better form and on dead ball duty.

    7. rozzo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      KDB will be the top scoring player this year imo, take the hit and captain him

    8. Sterling Chap
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Also thinking of taking out Pedro for a hit. Already have KDB so probably looking at Payet as he has form and fixtures.

  9. Jøssy ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Here's my current line-up....

    Butland (Myhill)
    Kolorov - Azpilicueta - Richards (Gomez - Huth)
    Sanchez - de Bruyne - Payet - Mahrez (Westwood)
    Aguero - Vardy - Ighalo

    3.5M ITB

    So, I've got a mini fire starting in my rotational defenders (not to Mark-inferno levels yet thankfully), and I'm tempted to break with my previous structure and buy a third 'quality' defender, e.g. Gomez > Bellerin.

    It would leave me a little constricted if (and when) I need to upgrade Ighalo. I'd maybe have about 7.3M to spend on him (on the basis I need 0.1M to upgrade Huth when he goes). I realise there are plenty of options in that bracket at the moment, but long-term it doesn't fill me with confidence.

    What thoughts have we??

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Gomez out to anyone playing is an upgrade. Bellerin good but defence then becomes v expensive

      You need to upgrade westwood too I think

      1. Jøssy ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Actually, yes... Rather than worrying about having to upgrade Ighalo at some stage, I can consider him a 3rd striker in a 3-5-2 formation! 😀

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Plenty of options

          Mane barkley cabaye mata are options

    2. maverickga
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Chelsea have let in more than 2 goals per match... Why not let the form kick in and then chose an expensive defender? Better be 1 week late than 5 weeks early...

      1. Jøssy ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        You're right. I've been tempted to do Azpi to Bellerin, but it's slightly too sideways when there are other more pressing issues to deal with in my squad.

    Back home after my free plumbing.

    Second top plumbing tip of the day. Don't buy cheap close couple toilets from B&Q because they're rubbish. And if you don't don't call me to unbung your bog.

        Indeed. I have a long list....

        Here's comes another one....

        Never box pipes in behind tiles or any other semi permanent decor because if they leak you'll never know until the rot has set in along the walls or floorboards..?...and then you'll have a very big bill indeed..

        Do it simple, do it chrome and do it well.

    so with the Wilson news, I'm fairly confident in my big bet on Bournemouth to be relegated at 5/2.

    Agree?

    1. pompeyfan
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      pretty good odds there. I reckon they will go down now. Some others down there are showing signs of improvement.

      1. The Gambler.
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        my theory is that Newcastle AND Sunderland won't both go down, its one or other.

        1. pompeyfan
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I have a similar theory, except I think Newcastle definitely won't go down, and Sunderland might not go down... or might

    2. Dr Dream

      Not looking good for them.

  15. Mitts1411

    Guys any thoughts on this team for GW 8?

    Ruddy

    Sagna, Richards,

    Hoolahan, Albrighton, Sanchez, Pedro, Coutinho

    Martial, Aguero (c), Sakho

    Subs in order; Darmian, Gomez, Targett, McCarthy

    Transfer (1.4m ITB); thinking of doing Albrighton to either Mahrez or Morisson (to free cash)

    Any suggestions? is lack of Man City midfield cover an issue?
    Would you suggest a hit?

    Hey lads and lasses,

    Any nailed on cheap fillers for UCL?

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      What position? Defender - Yotun (Malmo) 4m, Midfielder - Zahavi (Maccabi) 4m.

      Yotun is on corners but in a shocking group.

      1. iCon

        Cheers mate 😀

  17. trequartista
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Guys, I have Ayew in my team and can just about afford Payet. Should I make the switch? It's for a hit.

    One thing to consider is that it doesn't leave me any spare cash to upgrade Oxford/Targett later on. The other defenders are Sagna/Dawson/Azpi

    1. soltrader
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      West Ham have a solid run, would do the switch but not 100% worth a hit, maybe next week.

      1. trequartista
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Unlikely that I would be able to afford Payet then.

  18. Gianfranco Zola
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Silva news is brilliant. I feel like I'm owed after holding these 3 weeks. Anything higher than KDB will do.

    1. Dr Dream
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Top pick when fit.

      1. Gianfranco Zola
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Assuming he keeps the central role which I think he will

  19. soltrader
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Is it worth a 4 point hit to save the 0.2m I have made on Wilson, or should I just wait till next week?

    1. A.T
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Depends what the transfer is but in general I'd say wait.

      1. soltrader
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Needs to be 6m or under, considering Perez or Rudy, neither of which have a easy game this gameweek

        1. A.T
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I'd wait personally.

  20. #NAGA5000
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this UCL team:

    Begovic Oblak
    Alaba Gimenez Manolas Pique Smolnikov
    Costa Feghouli Matuidi Natcho Zahavi
    Lewandoski CR7 Salah?

    any changes/suggestions?

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You realise Martial is only 5.0? I'd prefer him over Salah, even at the same price.

      1. #NAGA5000
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Salah plays Bate (probably the worst team in UCL)
        Martial, Wolfsburg

  21. No Pirlo No Party
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Wilson + Ayew ---> Vardy and Payet

    Very template/popular move but seems the obvious one this GW. Thoughts on holding Ayew for a couple more week? Have Gomis also.

    1. soltrader
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Payet in for sure and its hard to ignore Vardy on this form

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Swansea not looking good so holding two assets not a great idea. Therefore I say a good move, if you think it will gets points who cares about the popularity/templateness?

      1. No Pirlo No Party
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Very true. It's all about the points.

        I was against Vardy for some reason. Possibly because everyone was doing it. Interested in Bojan. But having thought about it, I did watch the Arsenal game at the weekend and he looked very dangerous!!

  22. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    DDG-Butland
    Richards-Williams-Kolarov-Gomez-Targett
    Sanchez-Silva-Mahrez-Payet-Ayew
    Kun-Wilson-Diouf

    0.1 ITB

    feels like the only way I can upgrade Wilson is to lose one of Silva or Kun?

    looking at combinations involving Tadic, Lukaku, Berahino, Sahko

    thoughts on best options??

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ayew to Drinkwater or someone? Dont lose Silva or Kun, at least not yet.

    2. soltrader
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      City have strong run of games coming up, I wouldn't jump ship yet

    3. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kun is a top striker and, like Sanchez did last week, is capable of breaking the current barren spell and exploding at any moment.

      Drop Ayew for someone else, Swansea not looking too hot

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Cheers. Is double city attack necessary though?
        Could play Diouf in the meantime but obv losing value by keeping Wilson
        Would only trade Ayew for someone I'd play semi regularly

      Hes fixture proof

      1. Dr Dream

        No he isn't...he's started really well and that's all.

        1. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          One thing weve learnt is that irrespective of fixture or results, Leicester will score. Chances of his involvement will always be high.
          When they stop scoring , you get rid

    3. Gianfranco Zola

      He was terrible against Arsenal. Still nearly got an assist. The guy will keep getting points imo.

      1. Nickofoz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Was he really? From highlights looked like he created a few point blank chances

      Anytime between now and GW14, he should be gone by then.

    6. sheixt
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm looking at GW13. But if he doesn't get a revival of form in the mean time he could be forced out for a form player.

        Should have done better against that defence no?
        Fixtures are so tasty for him now though. Its him or Vardy. Maybe i should just go dullard
