We roll out our post-Gameweek members’ article, assessing some of the standout contenders over the previous round of fixtures.
West Ham, Spurs and Man United midfielders are among our featured players, while Chelsea’s left wing-back joins a pair of Bournemouth and West Brom assets in catching the eye.
Sound a good plan. Wait until today games
if you can also tomorrows game, che play
Hazard is a right off for me, held on long enough!

Anyway you look at it this team becomes quite imposing with Sanchez's inclusion.
Not bad bench cover either. Next season's title race will make for better viewing at least. 🙂
I don't rate that as remotely imposing, and I don't have (much) skin in the game as a Spurs fan. I'm more worried about Man City and Liverpool next year.
I don't support any club and together with Man City rate that lineup as the most imposing in the league.
Fair enough. It should look good on paper given the money that’s been spent on it, but still looks pretty one dimensional to me. Not sure Mourinho can keep it on the railway for another year too. Players are usually getting bored of his shtick by year 3.
Sanchez plays on left not the right
He can play on either.
Looks good. Unless you own Lingard
Am I the only one thinking of Surman to Gundogan???
lol
😉
apologies im out and connection is shiiiite so thought id only asked twice. other times didnt think it had posted
enjoy life, forget fantasy then
haha no worries man. Just bants
Your connection seems fine to me
Just do what you feels right. But my advice, always choose player that have certain in line up
Haha
Courtois
Van Dijk - Alonso - Jones - Stones
Lingard - Salah - Sterling - Arnie
Lukaku - Kane
Elliot - Quaner - Carrol - Dummett
Bank 0.8m
1 FT
Which looks best...
A) Lukaku > Aguero
B) Lukaku > Firmino
C) Lukaku & Lingard > Firmino & Pogba (-4)
D) Lukaku > Vardy
E) Other
It's obvious you don't want Lukaku in your team.B imo.
What gives you that impression
A
A
Just stick and see what happens
Ok, on a WC, current team is
Pope
Alonso - Jones - Ota
Salah - Sterling - Pogba - Arnie - Chamberlain
Kane - Firmino
Subs Elliot - JAyew - Hegazi - Mbemba
Thoughts on this, too much in defence? much appreciated
i like it alot
Cheers
Ox out, Hegazi play
Liverpool buzzing after city, ox could finally be finding his feet, against Swansea.........
Jotalonso seems to be the hip thing
Had Jones and Ota for a while, thinking of Alonso because I've got no other Chelsea cover. Do you think this combo is too much? Downgrade one?
you good
Cheers
Oh ****, I completely didn't realise Leicester were playing tonight. Please early transfer gods, be kind to me.
Lei, WHam, Bou, Che, Swa all playing midweek
Mahrez?
That's the one. Really annoyed with myself.
maybe albrighton/ibe better options... hmm
b.sako my man
Albrighton is on my radar definitely
Also check out the ox for 5.6
Assuming he doesn't get injured tonight, this is worth a quick read if you're thinking about getting Mahrez:
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2018/01/16/assessing-mahrezs-season-so-far/
Members only, I'm afraid.
brace today = FFScout pandemonium...... same happened with lingard
Is the Mahrez of 2 seasons ago back, though? That's the big question 🙂
possibly but needs vardy firing too
Cheers, I think Mane could be a better pick? thoughts?
Mane is more explosive definitely. I'd leave the transfer as late as possible to see if Liverpool are going to make a move for a big name, though.
Plus don't forget as things stand Mahrez has no champions league and won't be rotated as much as Mane.
You reckon they have many CL games left in them, Virg?
I think so. They seem to play better against bigger teams.
Great article. But I’m weighing him up with Mane they have similar fixtures and not much of a price differential.
Wary of the transfer speculation surrounding him. Think he's a great differential for the second half of the season if he stays at Leicester.
Foster
Otamendi Christensen Ogbonna
Salah Sterling Eriksen Arnie
Kane Aguero DCL
Elliot Kenny Carroll Long
a) DCL, Eriksen, Christensen > Wilson, Lingard, Alonso (-4)
b) Eriksen, DCL > Firmino, Ox (2FT)
c) Eriksen, DCL > Mahrez, Wilson (2FT)
Thanks!
c
Feel like I'm destroying my team to get in Alonso for the first. I also feel like Alonso is destroying my team by not owning him.
Oooo. Another Members article passes me by! 😀
I havent ever purchased a membership for FFS. I guess in some realms of my principle scale that is completely wrong, but then in others, comparing the site to a 'door step charity worker' I open the door, speak politely, feel affection to the cause, but do my bit in my only little way without shelling out money.
My FFS journey was initially based on initiative and searching for the edge against rivals in my local mini leagues. I guess I have outgrown that given the 10 years ive been playing the format now.
Curious as to those who werent members and have recently subscribed and how results week to week and overall placement have been affected as a result of the extra information and also to those who like me have made a point of doing it without the stats and analysis. Anybody in the non members league? Im 2nd in that.
Im 3,000th in the world with finishes varying year on year between 200,000 and 15,000. I admire and am grateful for Mark and the teams work, but will continue to fight for the non members, as a tribal and pointless political stance!
gwaaaaaaan
Gwaan? As in Go on. Or gwaaaan as in Go Away you wordy idiot Horlicks?
as gwaaaan ma lad
quick maths.
Good to know.
I sensed a cool story bro was imminent. There is of course Eddie, a question mark included, just to get the group involved you know. There is also coffee and biscuits at the back if you fancy. grab a seat mate.
I have had membership for two seasons (the season before that I was new and had to work things out as I went along) and I hardly use the members section this season. I used Doosra's tables last season which I don't anymore, nor do I use the Rate My Team tool for anything other than curiosity. The only thing I really use is the season ticker but that's not something that can't be found elsewhere. Sitting just outside 2k right now 🙂
I think most tools are just mental masturbation. Everything has to be contextualised.
So I was going to say - my membership is more because I think it's good to support the site as I use it often.
Ha! Little brain tug to get you through. Hmmm.
2k is awesome. fair play. Doosras tables are merely a mythological creature to us peasants.
Well considering I finished higher in my second season than Doosra ever has and I'm well ahead this season, I think it's more a case that I've outgrown them 😆
(no hate!)
Powerful.
Took me two swipes of my thumb to get past this
And there is the IP vs NR banter. Apologies for the long one.
I really was only looking for response to the worth of a membership as I may be missing out on the big time.
OTBC.
Takes more than two swipes of my thumb to get down to you lads league position
HA! off you pop.
First full year of membership and worst season in 12 years... but been on this site for most of them anyway. Comparisons particularly useful, but tend to overridden by my own contrary fails anyway. I really did it to support more revenue from us and less from advertising (particularly betting stuff that annoyed me). And a thanks for hosting the Norway league stuff.
Thanks for insight Pockets! I think I may over think having all that data at my paws too. Which will no doubt lead to a failed season. But weve all had a shocking 38 gw's havent we so thats acceptable. I spend more money on kitchen roll a month, than the 15 asking price for membership. its not about the money its principal
FYI I haven't used the comparison tool once this season. I don't think it's very useful.
You haven't used it, but it's not useful?
Last season.
10 years playing, first year as a member, worst rank ever (now 600k, up from 3m recently..)
I thought I'd "give something back", but frankly, looking at heatmaps of Doucoure vs Chalobah hasn't really helped any..
I also think heatmaps are relatively pointless
Out of interest how do you help the charity worker by not giving money. In fact you are hindering them raising money by talking to them.
If its Greenpeace for the plastic issues in the sea, I reuse my coffee cups and stay clear of useless bags and recycle to do my bit. If its cancer charities I run 10k every year and raise awareness for that and Motor Neruons Disease. If its NSPCC i work in a school with disadvantaged students to promote self esteem and confidence.
Money aint the answer for charities.
Mane vs Mahrez
Who’s the better pick and why?
Will be scouting them this week and replacing Son with one of them next week.
Mahrez for me, I presume you already have Salah I prefer to spread my team around a bit.
Mahrez spreads the risk but Pool double up is looking good.
Depends on rest of team, looking at Mahrez myself but have salah and firmino
I only have Salah
Honestly both.
Any ideas would be appreciated! 1 FT and 1.4 ITB
Crouch > Wilson? would then rotate with a def or gross.
Or save and do Son > Mahrez next week?
Adrian
Ota - Alonso - Robertson - Masuaku
Sterling - Salah (vc) - Son - Arni
Kane (c) Firmino
Elliot Gross Crouch Zanka
SAVE. Like my team you opponents are Bournemouth, Newcastle, Brighton, Swansea and Southampton.
LEAVE IT BE!
haha thx. Did not look at it that way...but you are right i guess! Might do mahrez for Son next week
No worries. Some how we have lined up the bottom clubs all in one gw. Im hopeful for the magic 100.
yes indeed, would then be my 3rd 100+ score...
BREAKING NEWS:
Reports coming from the Chelsea camp are that Morata has legally changed his name to Fernando Torres in order to have a fresh start and attempt to rediscover some goal scoring form.
- Sauce: Sum Dicksson
bahahahahahahh good one
*** Tumbleweed ***
Tumbleweed comments don't work unless their first bright eyes. 😆
Too slow. 😉
Yet too fast at the same time
sure to bring the magic
Time to move on GroB
A) Chamberlain
B) Albrighton
b
Got 2 ft, 1.6m in the bank and no idea what to to.
Any ideas
Pickford Adrian
Alonso ota Jones Kenny ogbonna
Salah sterling son lingard rlc
Kane firmino quaner
Thinking I get rid of either
Kenny
Ogbonna
Rlc
Quaner
Which is priority?
Quaner to Wilson
even better indeed
RLC > Ibe?
Has the scoutcast started? Can't see the link on FFS channel on YouTube... Any links please?
Needs to be on there to start. Another 2 hours.
Oh ok... I thought i could watch it live given that is perhaps already 9 30 in UK.
Thanks!
21.30 usually - two more hours
Thanks, i thought is already 9 30 in UK. Will have to catch up on it tomorrow then.
9:30 start. Link up shortly before. Will tweet and post here.
Cheers Jonty, you having a good season this year. Best luck for the remainder!
Thinking about
GW25: Son -> Mahrez
GW28: Sterling -> Son
Gives me a great set of fixtures for all 3 for foreseeable future.
Will lose some value on Sterling if/when I get him back after his relatively difficult run (with a blank) but suppose luxury of building good TV in first half is it allows you moves like this if you want.
Thoughts?
Do both for a hit
You plan is perfectly acceptable in my view
Good plan. Sterling might not be needed after GW27 tbh.
Sterling season keeper for me
I want to transfer Morata out but am convinced he will get points as soon as I do. So I will probably keep him and regret it. Which other players have people kept through being obstinate and then regretted it? And am I daft to hold on to him?
Morata for 14 gameweeks.
Wow. That's even longer than me.
Even Mark sold him.
HE hadn't in GW23. He must have only just got rid if you are right.
Last night for Vardy. You know what that means...
Vardy to go on a run of goals probably!
Before Brighton. I thought they were talking up Brighton vulnerability to set pieces last podcast
Surprised he kept the faith so long.
General view is that I should offload him asap then haha
richarlison is dropping from 6.4 to 6.3 tonight his sell value in my team is 6.3 at the moment. Will this stay at 6.3 in my team or drop to 6.2 when he drops .1.
Depends what you bought him at. I'd be more worried about his lack of points
bought him for 6.4
You only lose profit of bought for cheaper. You bought at 6.4? Like after he was 6.6 and falling because of poor form?
Can't be 6.3 selling value if you bought at 6.4
If you bought at 6.4 then his sale value cannot be 6.3, it's 6.4. And will drop to 6.3 tonight. There are the following possibilities:
A) Bought at 6.3, sale value 6.3. After drop it remains 6.3
B) Bought at 6.2, SV 6.3. After drop it drops to 6.2.
Bench two:
A)Ogbonna
B)Schindler
C)Robertson
cheers
I've benched A and B and you don't fancy Liverpool CS against Swansea?
I will never trust Liverpool in away games.
Fair call. Only 2 away CS
leicester match lads?
On my tv.
noice
Bt sport
Mahrez watch tonight
Surman & Aguero -> Salah & Wilson??
Before Newcastle and WBA? Might pay off but i personally feel it's risky...
Hoping Lanzini will make it through unscathed tonight.
Hopefully subbed of at 60 with a goal and assist in the bag
Same here
Hi.
Regular reader but rarely post. Would you do Alli and DCL to Firminio and Mahrez? Have the exact money, and would obviously wait until after today's game. Any views really appreciated.
yes
Absolutely!
I would
yes!
What they said
Any ideas here? Happy to stick and keep the transfer if not.
1ft & £0.2m ITB
Adrian
Otamendi-Christensen-Vertonghen
Salah-Arnautovic-Sterling-Chamberlain-Eriksen
Kane-Firmino
Elliot-Ogbonna-Taylor-Quaner
Save imo
Vertonghen has some tough ones coming up....he’d be my priority, but it can obvs wait a week....
Possibly Eriksen out too then next week and I’m starting to question whether Christensen is going to get a real run in the Prem. Will keep the ft. Cheers!
Which transfer would you make:
A) Lingard => Arnie
B) Mee => VVD
C) Pope => Coutois
D) Eriksen => Mane (can hold off a week too)
E) Save and carry 2 FT
Thinking long-term....
D
A but can't you do anyone else?
Others are Salah, Sterling and Son....love them all. Lingard and Eriksen (also have Kane) are my preferred sale options....(in either order)
Ok, then A if you dont need 2 FT next week. I prefer Arni over next few fixtures but would definitely sell one of your spurs mids befor fixtures stiffen
A
e
Ha! Complete lack of consensus, not wonder I’m struggling!!!!
Best cheap makeweight defender with a slight chance of playing? Mbemba?
TAA?
Forgot to add, budget would be a pathetic 4.1. This means o can keep Son over Richarlison...
Dummett at 4.2 plays every game
This
Tomkins
richarlison is dropping from 6.4 to 6.3 tonight his sell value in my team is 6.3 at the moment. Will this stay at 6.3 in my team or drop to 6.2 when he drops .1. bought him at 6.4.

thinking of subbing for arnie for -4
Look above. You bought him cheaper.
People are answering your previous post.
No need to repost

Check your team tomorrow and you'll see
6 years, 3 months agoHazard & DCL >> Arnie & Firmino? -4
