The unusual rumble you hear is the sound of a Stewart Downing bandwagon – last seen or heard circa 2010/11, when the winger racked up 167 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) points in his final season at Aston Villa. Having provided just two assists over the entire previous campaign, Downing was written off as a Fantasy force this time round. After an uninspiring start, he has now produced attacking returns in each of his last three for Liverpool and has already received over 10,000 transfers in prior to this weekend’s trip to Southampton. In this latest article for members, we assess the statistics to see just why:
High risk, high reward. I wouldn't have the cojones.
Open Controls
I think the high risk, high reward option is keeping michu not ditching him
Open ControlsI disagree. He's guaranteed to play, tons of people have him so any points he gets/doesn't get you won't make or break you. Kagawa on the other hand is a crazy differential who might not even play.
Open Controls
michu nailed on, kagawa not, even if kagawa starts, gets hauled before the end
Open Controls
fletch-----> giroud
michu-----> kagawa?
both of them sounds good?Open Controls
i wont do either even for free
Open Controls
I like the first one. Bringing him giroud this week or the next as well.
Open Controls1.fixtures are good
2.dgw coming
3.arsenal will step up
4.fletcher isnt doing good.
😉Open Controls
Is it safe to take Rooney over RVP?
Open Controls
safe as a sheeps bladder
Open Controls
Im thinking Maloney over Sissoko this week going by newcastles away form
Open Controls
What 3 ARS are people aiming to have by GW33? Giroud, Walc and Caz for me.
Open ControlsOvermars Adams Bergkamp... I mean same as you
Open Controlsthat would be ideal. But a lot will depend on if United have a double as well. Cant afford Caz if so.
Open ControlsYeah, I'm having Caz at the expense of Rooney and RvP. Kagawa prob my only Utd attacking cover plus two defenders.
Open ControlsThat could hurt bad. I am looking at Giroud, Walcott + a defender. Hopefully Sczcesney who I have already will keep his place.
Open ControlsThink I'm giving up on Szc this wk with to go to DDG (i have no back up keeper). Could possibly go Rooney if i went with Wilshere rather than Caz, but I think i'd rather have Caz&Sturridge+1.8m than Rooney&Wilshere
Open Controls
Walcott, Caz and Sagna maybe
Open Controls
what to do this week lads?
Bego(bunn)
Debuchy,Wilson,Davies(clyne,harte)
Mata,Bale,Walcott,Michu(kebe)
RVP,Suarez,Benteke
1.1 cash and 2 frees

Repost
Any hit required? i used my FT
Reina
Zabaleta Davies Samba
Bale(c) Walcott Cazorla Mata
Suarez(vc) Sturridge Benteke
Federici Puncheon Harte Pearce
3.1 in bank
(i know my bench could’nt be much worse)
Also i cant justify taking out one of my forwards for the manu ones 🙂Open ControlsNoticed the manu caveat you've now added at the bottom 🙂 ... I wouldnt spend any points on hits with that team... Bale vs Suarez for captain is a coin flip
Open ControlsThanks both.. DDG/Cech for Reina is what i'm considerin tbh
Open ControlsMost people have more pressing matters than to sort out their keeper 🙂
Open Controls
Right. With Ben Arfa knacked I need a 7m or under midfielder for the run in, criteria are:
1) cannot be Stewart fkin Downing
2) has to be a differential
3) only required from GW31 onwards
I'm thinking Maloney - worth a shout and frees up some wonga
Anyone else I should be thinking of?Open Controls
Hoilett
Open ControlsThat's a fine call sir. I already have Remy though, and I don't really wanna double up on QPR
Open Controls
Another good call. hadn't thought of them. Ill take a look at his stats. They're not exactly scoring for fun
Open Controls
Pienaar ?
Open Controls
Team right for this week?
De Gea
Zab Martin Wilson
Mata Michu Bale Walcott
RVP (c) Suarez (vc) Lambert
Bench: Fed Sissoko Davies MariappaOpen ControlsSissoko
Open Controls
Begovic
Open ControlsNewcastles away form poor and have a lot of chances against them. Lambert can score against big teams home or away(cue liverpool joke) . Maloney on form and creates a lot of chances and has a fair few shots.plus wigan need to win more
Open Controlssiss

Open ControlsBegovic
Open Controls
Would you prefer to start Giroud or Lukaku this week.
Open ControlsLukaku personally. Giroud is a donkey.
Open Controls
Any UEFA council types around. Just checking that you have mine and Fuzzy's ID and team details. Do you enter us into the league or is their a league code you have to email to us?
Open Controls
Nice TFJ on the cast this week Jonty! Enjoyed it.
Open Controlscheers...good to have one of the old guard getting his team stripped bare for the landmark podcast.
Open Controls
speak to TW. i did pass on the e-mail you sent me, and he said he'd take care of it. I can ask if you want?
Open ControlsDo they send us an email with the league code? If so I guess that's what we need. Can you or TW email that to me. My 'stage name' account jonty@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk is fine for that.
Open Controls
alternatively, check the council site,. there is a list of all entrants there
Open Controls
you'll receive an email with the league code
Open Controls
Are Roooney and RVP overkill? I would do Lambert > Rooney and Gerrard >Marveaux ..Good idea?
Open Controls
Marveaux still isn't 100% nailed on.
Open Controls
I know several people - they account for about 10-15% of a mini league i am in (in Ireland) and they have a policy of NO MAN U players EVER, born out of pure hatred for Mancherter United.
The demographic is Leeds/Liverpool fans and ages range from 30 - 45..............are any of you out there aware of such FPL players?? Are any of you on this site?
Cutting your nose off to spite your facers, own up ??
P.S. Despite my user name, i am not a NO MAN U player...............Open ControlsBegovic.
Open Controls
Why would people from Ireland be supporting foreign clubs?
Open ControlsAnd why would they hate United? Provided a lot of players for the Irish team over the years.
Open ControlsBelieve me, among A lot of Irish Leeds/Liverpool fans, there would be a healthy dislike of Irish players who have played for Man U over over the years, especially in the Fergie years................
Open Controls
Is this worth a -4? Don't normally take hits.
Davies > Cashley
Harte > Rafael
Is there better options for each side? Maybe Evans?Open ControlsIs there anyway you can expand on the 'SHOW' tabs on each post at once?
On my Apple (Safari) at home it already does this as default, but on Windows (IE) it means clicking each one.... if that makes any sense?Open Controls
michu --> kagawa? any ideas better than kagawa for 8 ish
Open Controls
Try Wales.
Open ControlsWe've upset somebody!
Open Controls
he should still start, that goal has slighly increased torres chances though
Open Controls
If i could get him in I would more pressing matters unfortunately
Open ControlsAguero to Ba transfer done this morning.
Open ControlsHe should score more points than Aguero this week 🙂
Open Controls
Lukaku -> Dzeko -4?
No Jagielka, Howard and Heitinga play.Open ControlsNot on yer nelly. Youll want rid of him again soon.
Open Controls
Just listening to the Scoutcast. Shouldn't the Members League be beating the General FFS league given their access to the Members features?
Open ControlsNo, members features do not guarantee you success. Hence why I am better than you/everyone else.
Open ControlsSurely there are 1763 people better than you, including me? 😉
And as for the previous two seasons... 😆Open ControlsIf you look closely you will see I got 1048 points in my first year, that is impressive for someone who only logged in once
Open Controls
you know 'everyone' would have saved you some typing
Open Controls
Surely anyone in the Members League would also be in the General League, so at best it could only be level.
Open ControlsNo, because its based on average not total score
Open Controls
Michu to Kagawa seems the obvious move this week but nobody here has the bill hooks to back it.
Open ControlsEverything look OK?
Begovic
Wilson Davies Clichy
Walcott Mata Michu Bale
VP Benteke Sturridge
Foster Debuchy Pucnheon DemelOpen Controls
Foster instead of Begovic as doubling on Stoke when they haven't kept a clean sheet since 2012 seems silly.
Debuchy instead of Davies
Who are you captaining?Open ControlsI have a feeling. VP for the armband. Ill think about Debuchy. Cheers
Open Controls
I'm doubling on Stoke this week... 12 points will do nicely 🙂
Open Controls
Team this week
Need some advice here scouts
Guzan
Dawson zabs Enrique
Michu/lamps or mata Afro bale wally
Rvp(c) remy Suarez
Shall I do michu to lamps/mata/hazard for a 4 point hit?
Got no Chelsea coverage which is worrying!
Any advice very much appreciated!Open ControlsSave and don't watch the Chelsea game.
Open Controls
Begovic
Rafael – Wilson – Zabaleta (Davies,Pearce)
Sissoko – Walcott – Michu – Bale (Puncheon)
Sturridge – Benteke(v) – RVP(C)
5.6mil in the back what to do?
A) Puncheon -> Mata (Bench who?)
B) Michu -> Mata
C) Benteke -> Rooney
D) Michu -> Lamps, means i can do Benteke -> Rooney in the next few weeks
E) Somthing else/nothingOpen ControlsDavies to Evra for -4?
