This evening we roll out the final article in our three-part series assessing the stand-out attacking statistics over the first three Gameweeks. Having cast our analytical eye over the Defenders and Midfielders, we turn our attentions up front.
Any love for Leroy Fer out there? Haven't seen him in action as he was suspended for the first match.
Open ControlsWould love some thoughts on my team.
Mignolet (daniels)
Coleman, Walker, Enrique, Zabaleta
Lamela, Arfa, Ozil (pennant, ward-prowse)
Benteke, Soldado, Giroud
0.5 million in the bankOpen ControlsGabbidon on the bench in the backline
Open ControlsNice team. Think the CS will dry up though.

hey guys last questions for the day..
a. soldado & coutinho
b. sturridge & lamela/eriksen
thanks in advance!Open ControlsA for me
Open ControlsI like B
Open ControlsA
Open ControlsGive me A
Open ControlsB because I'm worried about how involved Coutinho is in Liverpool's most promising attacks so far this year. That being said, there is no way of knowing what kind of output you will get from Lamela or Eriksen, but I am keen to get Eriksen myself if he plays in the hole.
Open ControlsA for now
Open ControlsB, with Lamela (assuming Danny is fit)
Open Controls
Acqua, I am 9 points behind you...my TE already has 10 points but it looks like my other dude is injured. It will come down to the wire!
Open ControlsRMT please guys
Boruc
Ferdy/Vidic/Collins
Lamps/Wally/Eriksen/Naughty
Giroud/RVP/Benteke
JWP/Chester/TurnerOpen ControlsAre you on your WC?
Open ControlsYes I am sir.
Open ControlsDon't get Vidic and Ferdinand, if you want good Man U cover go for Evra, he'll probably get the most minutes of all of the Man U defence, his attacking potential as a defender is as good as any and he is only 0.5 more than Vidic. Lampard isn't assured of starts and is in a slightly withdrawn role, meaning he will probably only get goals from penalties. Other than that I quite like it.
Vidic + Ferdinand + Lampard -> Evra + Enrique + Hernandez maybe?Open ControlsThanks for your input. I think Evras a good idea. I just wanted double clean sheet for Palace but I know it's probably not a good move going forward.
Open Controls
Whu da hell are Ferdy and Naughty?
Open ControlsSorry. Rio Ferdinand and Arnautovic.
Open Controls
Who is Naughty?
Open ControlsA little too punty in the midfield, no? Two unproven EPL / FPL players in your starting team. I'd go with maybe just one.
Doubling on Man United defense - I like that. It's different.
Also, who is your back-up keeper? Playing Boruc in all games may be tricky.Open ControlsDoubling on united defence isn't a good idea IMO. There's hardly any flexibility when you have the 2 of them. Also you're fecked if they have a blank gameweek or a difficult fixture.
Open ControlsI just wanted to capitalize on a United cleanly vs Palace. Then maybe ship Ferdy.
Open Controls
Back up keeper is 4m no player. Just so I could do a competitive RVP side. I know what you mean with two unproven midfielders but I can't find much in their price range I fancy.

Missed the boat to WC this round and now I am stuck with injuries and a -4.
Currently team is:
Boruc Adrian
Coleman Toure Mbiwa M.Turner Ward
R.Morrison Silva Wanyama HBA Walcott
Sturridge RVP Benteke
My swaps were Coutinho > HBA and Dzeko > Sturridge.
Were my moves the right moves? Not so sure anymore because of injuries. Hopefully they are 'international injuries'Open ControlsMoves are done now so no good to go back and thin if they were the right move. That team looks pretty tasty for this week!
Open ControlsHope so, providing the injuries are not real to my key players. Always worrying about the players you don't have rather than the ones you do have, ie Ozil, any Spurs player, any MUFC/ARS defender.
How's your team looking?Open ControlsI am on a WC so it's looking better and better every day 😀 Just waiting for all the internationals to finish and injuries to be flushed out.
Open ControlsLucky you! Can't wait till this break is over to finally see a RVP captain not fail. Captained him every week so far. Robin not so reliant haha.
Open ControlsHim, Benteke and Walcott are just about the only players nailed on in my WC.
Open Controls
I like those moves.
You can't have more than two premium mids atm with RVP and two strong strikers in the team atm. You'll need that flexibility in the future.
Coutinho is disapointing so far FPL wise and HBA has good fixtures. Prefer tekkers to Studge despite LIV's good fixtures.Open ControlsYeah Coutinho wasn't doing anything. Now watch him destroy it being played in the middle and with LFC's good fixtures. I have both Studge and Tekkers. Was going to do Giroud instead of Studge but opted for the other and now he may be injured..... LFC always let me down in FPL!
Open Controls
Total score in FPL so far: 101pts. And I benched a player who scored 17 points 😆 Trying to get a clue.

Hey guys long time lurker first time poster.
First off, how y'all doing?!
I'm currently on a wildcard but would love to hear some thoughts on my team, and possible changes.
Mignolet - mcgregor
Enrique, zabaleta, vidic, Dawson - Chester
Oscar, Hernandez, Walcott, silva - colback
Soldado, giroud - maiga
$1.9 in the bank (wanting to bring in Suarez when his back)
I don't know if I should keep vidic or spend .5 less and get ferd. Stick with Oscar or go cheaper in lampard, or more expensive and get lamela. Cut silva or stick with him. And take a punt on sturridge with his injury or keep soldado??
(Mignolet, Enrique, zabaleta, silva and colback I've had since day one)
Would appreciate the feedback. Cheers!Open ControlsSelling Andy Carroll

Open ControlsOh, I'm well aware. Good friend is a Geordie die-hard fan. Ashley ownership has been a train wreck.

Pick 2 from:
1. Ivanovic
2. Zabeleta
3. Ferdinand
4. Evra
5. Terry
6. Enrique
Which ones are nailed on and have the most attacking opportunities?
Thank in. AdvanceOpen ControlsEnrique and evra
Open ControlsOrdered from best to worst IMO.
Evra, Enrique, Zab, Ivanovic, Terry, Ferdinand.
Difficult to split the top 3 and all of the top 4 have excellent attacking potential.Open ControlsTerry is a concern of rotation. Same with Ferdinand.
If I were to choose long-term probably Ivan and Zab because of their managers defensive approach to some extent.Open ControlsEvra Enrique. Just for nailed on-ness. Not for who I think is best. That would be Zab and Terry.

Pretty tired, night DZ
Open ControlsA) Giroud+Walcott
B) Walcott+Ozil
C) Giroud+OzilOpen ControlsMorning folks, how we doing?
Was just going through the projections, koscielny and paulinho are predicted to do really well for the next few weeks.
So would you you do Ivan >> koscielny (-4)..I don't think chel will keep too many cleanies over the next few gw's, gettin rid of him frees up funds, allows me to upgrade kim to a 7m mid next gwOpen ControlsSince Everton have struggled to score goals, I would say keep Ivan for another week and make these transfers next week.
Open ControlsI'm not looking to get rid of Ivan before eve and then Fulham at home and probably not afterwards either.
His attacking potential is worth any risk to CSs imo UN.Open Controls

Open ControlsNanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir and her merry Monsters and Men live at Coachella 🙂
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2-i1DfU31YOpen ControlsI think Yaya is more assured of game time.
Open ControlsAgreed. But to think that Lamps can get more gametime under Mourinho and on pens as well tempts me.
Other than Lampard, who else would you suggest for Chelsea's coverage.?Open ControlsToss up between Hazard and Oscar I guess Mubin. I like Ivan at the back for CSs and attacking.
Open Controls
Lampard, he might miss the odd game, but every time he plays you know you are going to get a good show. First 3 games this season watching Hazard with expectation only to see a foul and Lamps step up for the free kick.

Mirallas Silva Theo
Giroud(C) Sturridge Soldado
Bench :Nolan Kim Murner
and no, not on a WCOpen ControlsHad to WC, couldn't withstand Silva and Studge injuries added with Dzeko and Mirallas losing form.
Any suggestions to the new squad?

Coleman Zabs Mert Rio (Chester)
Wally Lamps Hernandez (WardProwse Delph)
Tekkers RVP GiroudOpen ControlsVery close to mine. Just not sure on Rio but I am guessing you money is pretty tight.

Not sure if this is useful, saw in fiso forum:
"Regarding Ozil and his protected status, I emailed FPL about when Ozil prize can be expected to raise and got this response.
Hi
Özil's price will not change for the first Gameweek that he is in the game. Any changes to his price will be affected by transfers made after the Gameweek 4 deadline. This is done so that new players to the game to not have massive price changes just for joining the game.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this causes.
Regards,
Fantasy Premier League Support"
Not sure if this applies for Lamela as well.Open ControlsWill apply to all deadline day signings.
Open Controls
Whats happening , Anything?
Open ControlsFor those whoi wished they had wildcarded ,you mat as well do it nyway , havent missed many price rises so if your teams no good may as well hit that button.
You know you want to 😀Open ControlsMy keyboards gone feral , types what it wants
Open ControlsAgree. More about avoiding fallers imo, which can still be done.
Open ControlsThink i need a WC? Already took a hit.
Cech Marshall
Coleman Lescott Murner Clyne Chester
Walcott Nolan Hernandez J.Cole Kim
RvP Sturridge BentekeOpen Controls
My mids are: Wally, Hernandez, Hba, Brady and Ward-Prowse.
I have 1 mil left in the bank and don't really want to change defense and attackers. Suggestions on possible moves?Open ControlsFairly template, but would still love it if you could RMT
Mig, Boruc
Kosc, Coleman, Walker, Collins, BTurner
Yaya, Flampard, Theo, Hernandez, Brady
Studge, Benteke, Giroud
Unsure on Yaya and Lampard myself, but not sure who's safer and better. Any thoughts?Open ControlsLampard is the better FPL choice. Should play more games, on corners, FKs and pens and a natural goal scorer.
Open ControlsShould say ''most games'. Yaya will play more games.
Open Controls
I would loose Yaya from that team. Not a great FPL option after all.

0.0 in the bank... tried to form a balanced team with rvp.. lamela there as a punt...any notable flaws ?
cheers guys.Open ControlsLooks pretty good for a RVP team, the Lamela punt is worthwhile and easily changed later GW if you need/want to.
8.5/10Open Controlsthanks mate.
heard about brady on this forum only...are'nt redmond,barkeley playing further forward for there teams ?
CHEERSOpen Controlsthanks mate..thoughts on one of brady/redmond/barkeley ?
and would u prefer sturridge/giroud. ?
considering i have walcott.Open Controls
Great front line - love it! The price is the rest of the team, especially GK and def.
Open Controlscs i believe will dry up eventually..i hav 2 premium defenders..money in midfield too...
just concerned about one of sturridge/giroud..currently on giroud.Open Controls
I see a lot of points for you this weekend. I would get some Liverpool attacking cover though as their fixtures are very tasty.
Open Controlsposted above..pretty set on rvp benteke ..choice between giroud/sturridge..don't really fancy coutinho that much. i could do lamela- cout...but theen again..he may disappoint me again.
Open Controls
8/10
Good team - Tweaks to be considered
Boruc & Enrique > Mignolet & Shaw = Saves 0.3m
Ward > Gabbidon = Bigger goal threat and Palace signed another RB on deadline day
HBA & JWP > Whittingham & ??? = HBA too inconsistent. Whittingham same job as JWP. JWP not nailed.Open Controlsthanks mate..would surely look into those suggestions..but shaw seems pretty injury prone..and enrique may play further advanced if liver go 3 at the back..
considering u are a norwich fan..thoughts on redmond in place of brady ?Open Controls
