Our first members article of the week analyses a number of key statistics from the previous round of fixtures. We cast an eye over Tottenham, Newcastle and Man City’s midfield and strikers and also assess Watford’s out-of-sorts attack as the Hornets struggle for a cutting edge.

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

    Which is better?

    A. Zouma > Baines
    B. Arnautovic > Barkley

    Also Captain who?

    1. Kane
    2. Kun
    3. Kaku

      10 years, 12 days ago

      i would say A. because i think they will keep CSs in the next two games. and you know Baines.

      Want to ask the same Q on (c). Currently on 3 myself.

    Just bought Howard for his favourable home games to cover Butland for Stoke's tough games. Found out that they rotate well till GW 28. But is the combo too expensive? I got Butland at 4.5 though.

    Butland + whoever gets the nod for CPL?
    Butland + any?

    1. Kroos Kontrol
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Just a pointer, Butland's kept a fair number of CS in "tough" games. I have stuck with Butland-nonplayingGK since GW7 and till now Butland has more than exceeded my expectations.

      1. Lucky_Z
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        Same was with me as I had Foster/Myhill and later did not sold Foster when he got injured. Myhill scored more in tough games including 18-pointer vs ManUtd

        1. Lucky_Z
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 12 days ago

          Last season I mean

  3. ClaireT
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    Which goalkeepers would you pick? Have 10.1 to spend between the two.

    Defence is:

    Jagielka, Dier, Simpson, Daniels, Monreal

    1. ClaireT
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Lots have Butland, so maybe someone different.

      De Gea + who?

      1. GoonSquad
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        Forster and Hennessy

      2. inter the wild
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        'Lots have Butland'.

        All the more reason to have Butland. This season is less about punts, more about getting the solid point-winners which are there.

          • 14 Years

          Unless you're chasing a ML titlte and 60 points behind. Then you need differentials 🙂

  4. JasonG123
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    2FT. Which transfer?

    (A) Hennessey to Rudd/Elliot/Pickford
    (B) Myhill to Fabianski/Schmeichel/Boruc
    (C) KDB to Silva/Firmino/Barkley
    (D) Wanyama to Stanislas/Barry

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Similar story here.

      Maybe C to Silva as I don't trust the latter 2. I'm considering Wij as well for GW25.

      Burning the FT is worth considering too.

      1. JasonG123
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        May as well do D if I'm going to burn it. Wij is an interesting option.

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 12 days ago

          you're probably right there

    2. Twelve years a slave

      Pickford :O
      Who the hell......

      1. The Fantastic Mr Fox
        • 11 Years

        PLayed last 2 games for SUN. 4.0 mil

      2. JasonG123
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        Seems to be the number one Sunderland keeper...

  5. Captain Vantastic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    Bench one please?
    A) Evans
    B) Shawcross
    C) Moreno

    1. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Tough between Shawcross and Moreno. Leicester have not been scoring much lately.
      Liverpool should have a chance of a clean sheet but they will probably manage to mess it up again

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      B

    3. dmhomag
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      C. B covers high ownership Butland.

    4. The Man Pastore
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      B

  6. St. Joseph
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    Ozil, mahrez, eriksen, arnie, gosling
    Seriously considering gosling against sunderland this week.
    Who to bench?
    Any thoughts..?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Arnie if you must. I'd start Arnautovic tough, expecting an open game.

      1. St. Joseph
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        Arnie over mahrez?

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 12 days ago

          Never bench Mahrez

          1. oghash
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 12 days ago

            I sold him a couple of weeks ago, will I go to hell?

            1. NABIL - FPL otai
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 12 days ago

              not for me to answer.

              could be.

  7. Kroos Kontrol
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    Any major weak points in this team? Have 2 FTs. Would ideally like to hold my WC incase a crisis strikes (my GW8 WC has served me very well).
    I thought of removing Browning this week but don't need to as the other 4 will suffice. Will only do it if no other use for a FT.
    Want to remove Moreno but waiting for a possible DGW.
    Any point biting the bullet on Kane now? Ighalo -> Kane not possible. Haven't owned Kane all season, everytime I have holded off him it's worked out good (except last week)

    Butland (Schwarzer)
    Dawson Moreno Alderweireled (Dann Browning)
    Payet KdB Mahrez Ozil (Alli)
    Aguero Lukaku Ighalo

        Lady luck is smiling on me again, and FFS is helping a lot as well

  9. Sadio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    All signs pointing to Kane (C) being the best pick this week.

    1. Trae44
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      What signs?

    2. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      What signs are they?

      1. Sadio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        His attacking stats, Palace waning, City and Everton with an eye on their second leg in the C1C next Wednesday.

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      That's what you think.

    4. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      i agree

  10. oghash
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    What happens in the summer time with this place, does it become a graveyard? Then again with the euros I guess it'll stay busy?

    1. dmhomag
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Euro fantasy...

    2. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      It will certainly quieten down a lot despite the Euro's

        Will you hold my hand and keep me company?

    Which two goalkeepers would you pick? Have 10.1 to spend between the two.

    Defence is:

    Jagielka, Dier, Simpson, Daniels, Monreal

    I know lots have Butland, but thinking of De Gea + someone?

    1. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Butland and either Foster or Forster, unsure on rotation.

  12. Bggz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    cech?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      1,2,3

  13. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    Kevin De Bruyne fixtures.

    23rd West Ham
    27th Everton (C1C)
    2nd Sunderland
    6th Leicester

    Surely KDB will be rested at some point? It makes sense to rest him during an away game since he is unlikely to perform.
    West Ham this week or Sunderland.
    Thinking KDB -> Firmino. Good idea?

    Thanks.

    1. diego_costa

      Besides KDB, who do you have from MCity cover?

    2. ILOVEBAPS

      I am thinking of that same move Eden. Though I am waiting as I may need to swap out Myhill 🙁

    Morning, everyone. Most of you had a good week, I guess.

    I need some help with my team here.

    Butland, (Ruddy),
    Dawson, Bellerin, Moreno, (Huth, Nyom),
    **de Bruyne, Ozil, Alli, Mahrez,(Barry),
    Kane, Aguero, Lukaku.

    2 FT, £1.0m.

    ***I know my defence needs work, but all three I am playing have a good fixture this week (plus Dawson has really good matches to look forward to). So I'm maybe considering KDB to Payet this week itself (KDB playing too deep, I want Payet anyway). Any other suggestions?

    1. oghash
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      mahrez to payet? Moreno to any other living defender?

    2. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      I'd hold off on Payet for another week. Nothing much needs doing though and with 2FTs you need to do something. What about Ruddy -> Howard to cover Butland's tough fixtures? They rotate pretty well before you will likely WC.

  19. oghash
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    I bet number 7 is popular for FFS users

      Everyone knows the best password is "incorrect". Then every time you get it wrong the computer says "your password is incorrect"

    Just my luck. On the losing end in both the highest scoring match for the gw and the highest scoring match of the season so far in one of my money leagues.

    Anyone know the best way to complain to the BBC about one of its programs?

    1. oghash
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Does points of view still exist? If it's content you think is inappropiate the tv watchdog not the bbc is your best bet. Otherwise:

      http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/contact_us/making_a_complaint.html

      1. The Nuttmxn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        It is indeed content, specifically the most recent Big Question.

        1. oghash
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 12 days ago

          I only watch football focus and motd on tv now. Got used to living abroad with no english tv, never got back in the habit. Still abroad but Ireland so we get the bbc and itv.

          I do watch netflix though, does that count as tv?

          1. The Nuttmxn
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 12 days ago

            Best decision, I try and watch the odd politics and philosophy show but a good phew have started having hateful questions under the guise of willing intellectual debate and it's annoying to see it come from what should be an impartial BBC.

            I'd say so.

            1. oghash
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 12 days ago

              I used to love question time and the one that followed with Andrew Neil, I forget it's name. Great shows.

  23. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Morning DZ, best move here?

    A) VVD -> Baines
    B) Alli -> Barkley
    C) VVD & Alli -> Jags & Baines
    D) VVD -> Targett*

    * enables DDG/Alli -> Elliot/Sanchez next week (i.e. getting Sanchez without losing KDB)

    DDG
    Bellerin, Moreno, Simpson
    KDB, Mahrez, Payet, Alli
    Aguero, Lukaku, Kane

    Hennessey, VVD, Wolly, Surman
    Bank 2.3m, 2FT

    1. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Probably A, no need to ditch B as can bench, C looks like 1 mid and 1 def to 2 def's and D is very sideways and could end in tears.

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        Ooops, C) is meant to say VVD & Alli -> Jags & Barkley

        D) is really just to generate cash to avoid losing KDB. I'd rarely (if ever) start Targett.

      2. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        Oh, and my bench is pretty weak so benching Alli doesn't look too great an option.

        1. The Nuttmxn
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 12 days ago

          No worries, just thought I'd check 🙂

          If I you were to do D best to check when you want that SOU def as I'd fear Targett may be out by the end of the season.

          1. Jinswick
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 12 days ago

            I kinda think Bellerin, Wolly, Moreno & Simpson can cover me most weeks (with the exception of next week), although I'm not sure if it's worth getting a likely dud just to keep KDB

    2. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Just A for me ... keep Alli for another couple of weeks, he'll return when you're least expecting!

      1. oghash
        • 10 Years

        Yeah, I know what you mean. But I'm wondering if double Spurs attack is a good idea given they are away for 3 of the next 4 games, especially with Dembele back (he seems to negate Alli's output a little)?

          I know what you mean about Alli ... i'd still hold strong on him. The attraction of having Barkley for two plumb fixtures is hard to ignore ... but if you have Lukaku and Baines you're well covered. If Everton end up with a blank in a few weeks it's one less thing to worry about also!

      I would not sell Sou defence. Seems they are a much better unit with Forster back.

    Question for my Draft.

    Mata or Fabs?

      Fab

      Fabregas, its a gamble but why not in draft.

        Hoping he can find his form again in this half of the season

    Cap lukaku or kun?

    1. I Member

      I'm on Lukaku but that's mainly because the guy I'm chasing owns Kun and not Romelu.

      Aguero!

      Lukaku for me.

  28. I Member

    Bench one:

    A) Payet (MCI)
    B) Mahrez (STK)
    C) Ozil (CHE)

    1. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Mahrez.

    2. Test Eagles

      10 years, 12 days ago

      I have a funny feeling Mahrez is going to troll us all with a massive score this week ... bench at your peril.

      Having said that ... I would suggest you think about the AOA chip if you haven't used that.

      1. I Member

        Used it already. My gut is telling me to bench Payet.

    Three goal attempts in three weeks. Is Igloo the ultimate troll?

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      absolutely
      he solo destroyed my season until I got him and he is fecked now

      I dunno but what I know is that Newcastle are the worst defensive unit in the league ..keeping Igloo for 1 last week personally

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        And even then I have 5 decent midfielders...so will bench him whenever required

      Yep! Got him 2 weeks ago. 🙁 Sorry

    From a baseline BPS perspective, anyone know who is the best EVE defender to get?

    1. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      10 years, 12 days ago

      Baines has so much more attacking returns up his sleeve IMHO!

      1. Test Eagles
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        Sorry ... fullbacks seem to be getting the BAPs this year, Baines is the man with all those successful dribbles, crosses and his defensive clearances are as good as the rest!

        1. Eden Hazardous
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 12 days ago

          You are wrong 😉

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Jagielka

      1. Test Eagles
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        I'll go now 🙁
