We delve into the data of the Gameweek 27 fixtures this evening in the first of this week’s members articles. Cardiff’s new midfielder, Hull’s Croatian marksman, the form men up front at Liverpool and City and Norwich’s weekend match-winner are all on the radar:
Despite getting my last 3 captain choices wrong, this is probably been the week I am most unsure on who to captain. Who are you tipping for the armband this week?

Just did kolarov to Baines and I don't care about the blanks.
I'll take WHU blank CAR SWA ful over any no blanks schedule.Open ControlsWhy Baines and not Goalman? From what I've seen Coleman looks like he'll bag at least a couple of goals or assists
Open Controls
OK, last thought before I get on with work
Is Rooney > Aguero madness before the GW 31 DGW ?Open Controls* Should have said read before / for the DGW 31
Open Controlsyes
Open ControlsA lot would depend on the fitness of Aguero, and also if this would involve a hit. There could be FPL-team scenarios where such a move could be decent.
Open ControlsIt would be on a FT - I have FT's for 2 city players in GW30
If Rooney doesn't up his game the enxt few GW's I can see the upside to it.Open Controls
If Aguero is fit, then I'd say it is a perfectly sane move
Open Controlsthx

I know it's a big but am starting to think eto is a 2 week punt worth taking simply because I have adebayor, I can't get lambert because I have 3 saints, and the rest of the options suck badly. It seems to be him or a forward that wont play in 29 and ill probably get rid for 30/1
Open ControlsDecent transfers?
Next week:
Flanagan>Dann
Gnabry>Noone
Doing these to free up funds, have cover for GW29 and to get rid of Flanagan and Gnabry for the long term.
The Week After:
Adebayor>AgueroOpen Controlsdann struggled against mun at the weekend - hopefully his place is secure. clearly you don't have much choice....chambers (3.9)?
Open Controls
can i get some help for this fixture mess. so West Ham Hull game to be play in gw31, any other confirmation for other than this?
Open ControlsGetting second thoughts on ditching Eriksen - got a feeling he might get game time. What's the chance him starting this weekend? And how much more do you consider he'll drop in value?
Open Controlsyour right, he might get gametime...then again he might not. me thinks you need to get people who are more nailed on for the next2 weeks as unlikely to have much sub cover
Open ControlsI'ce dropped him. Simply can't trust Tactics Tim with my FPL points (unless you have Ade, I suppose)
Couldn't stomach the loss in TV either, but that's a personal choiceOpen Controls
Does anyone know if there's still possible that some more unscheduled games be held in GW31?
Open ControlsLooking at European fixtures and international breaks, GW31 is the likeliest GW for the doubles.
Open ControlsHmmm, that means I should field as many as possible in GW29, and then use my WC before GW31.
Really want to know when all games will be played before committing my WC, though.Open ControlsJust hold off until matches are confirmed, I would imagine we should hear something soon as they need to give notice so fans can get organised.
Open Controls
yup - i think there will be more to come
Open Controls
If i m all set on losing a pool striker will u rather lose sturridge or suarez? Will lose 0.6 on sturridge and 0.9 on suarez but it will be arnd the same after sturridge rises and suarez falls.
Open ControlsJust like seemingly everyone else I'm looking for a 2-week-only midfield replacement for Silva
Options: Snodgrass, Adam, StevenDavis, Willian, Holtby, Paulinho.
What is it that makes Snodgrass such an overwhelming favourite over say Willian?
I went trawling through this thread looking for a debate. In 14 pages Snodgrass's name appears 161 times, compared to Willian's 6. I don't get why*.
Snodgrass; Villa (A) + Stoke (H)
Willian: Fulham (A) + Tottenham (H)
Fixtures + set pieces, yes. But then again Chelsea/Norwich just about balances that out, no?
Have I missed Willian stinking it up and Snodgrass on fire, or is this a bandwagon with limited justification?
*In truth, I don't get alot of things about this gameOpen ControlsActually i m not very into snodgrass but it allows me to do adebayor->Kun on gw30 without a hit. And with snod fixture he is a decent punt and i am in knowledge tt this punt will have little damage becos likely tt there will not have much playerd exploding in gw29 too. Even if willian explodes v few ppl have him
Open Controls
As it stands, one of my ML rivals has 3 (possibly 4 if Clyne plays) players playing in GW29. And only 2 FT to use before then.
Muhahahaha 😀
PPPPPP = Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor PerformanceOpen ControlsAnd if his (c) scores double figures whilst your (c) gets 2 points? very possible
Open ControlsI always find these kind of posts amusing. Someone points out some donkey-like management from another FPL player, while at the same time acknowledging that the said donkey is 'one of their rivals'...
😆Open ControlsOne knows more about football, the other knows more about stats and fixtures 😉
Open ControlsI'd argue that his short-term view is what has made him one of my rivals. While all my transfers in the last few weeks have been with GW29 in mind, he's made transfers according to the fixtures in front of him.
By the time blanks/DGWs are out of the way, he won't be a "rival" anymore.Open Controls
I have 5 🙁
Open ControlsYeah i'll have 7 after transfers or 9 if i take two consecutive hits. *Poor planning five*
Open Controls
I'm in a very very lucky spot, sorry 🙂
I can get 11 players out in GW29 and still have 2FTs going into 30.
am i really doing Yaya to Snoddy though?
really?????
Speroni
cahill azpi Olsson (Chambers Kosc)
haz yaya lallana noone (Caz)
Suarez, sturridge JRodOpen ControlsIs this team for GW28 or GW29?
Caz on the bench if you get Snoddy?Open Controls
I really loved my Adrian/Mannone combination. I don't want to part with either. Can anyone give me a reason to keep both? I have 2 frees and not a clue what to do with them (keeping Eriksen and Evans).
Open ControlsYou just said you loved the combo, thats good a reason as any imo. Follow your heart mate.
Open ControlsI've got a transfer burning a hole in my pocket and getting a keeper for GW29 seems the logical move though. If West Ham have a DGW in a different week than one of Sunderland's, I'd keep both. I can't see that happening seeing as Sunderland need to squeeze in 3 of them.
Open Controls
I think in the long run you will prefer the 2 extra transfers it will cost to get a keeper in for GW29 only to get Mannone/Adrian right back in.
I have the exact same dilemma, do I go with 10 in GW29 and save the transfer for double gameweeks or do I go with XI and use up 2 FTs.Open ControlsNot even sure there is a keeper worth getting just for GW29. I'm sticking with AdMan
Open ControlsMannone will have DGWs incoming and they rotate pretty well GW30-32 anyway, plus there's no point taking a hit on a GK in GW29 when none of the fixtures look like an obvious clean sheet for either team. I guess one possibility is to get Ruddy in for Adrian that week if you don't use your 2FTs elsewhere.
Open ControlsOnce the move is made I'll not be reversing it. Ruddy looks to be the only option worth considering, I think the £ tied up will hurt me when I'm short of funds longer term.
I'm thinking Sterling to Ince. Sterling not great away from home and has 2 away games plus a blank in the next 3. Play 10 in GW29.Open Controls
I have this same dilemma BB. If you keep both, then you will play one of them in GW31 (Adrian confirmed HUL, MUN & Mannone *maybe with WBA, nor?) while going without a keeper in GW29. However, if you transfer Adrian to Ruddy this week you get a better fixture straight up than what Adrian has (Mannone has a blank), then you get STO, SUN in GW29 & GW31 (and CPL from Mannone in GW30). Or you could play Mannone for his double if they do get one in GW31. After that, Ruddy & Mannone rotate better than Adrian & Mannone. I think you'd get more points this way than taking the blank in GW29 - but at the cost of a FT and about 0.7? Is that worth it?
Open ControlsGreat write up, thanks for going into so much detail.
You're right about the fixtures, but I don't trust Norwich. Every time a pants team goes on a good run of clean sheets, it ends just when people transfer them in.
I'm going for Sterling to Ince and will play 10 in GW29.Open Controls
This is the team I can field in GW29 http://postimg.org/image/kz6js95mr/
I can do Noone > Snodgrass giving me a player that plays in GW28 & 29
And looking to GW29 I will be able to field 9 without taking hits.
Any obvious moves you would do that sets me up for GW29?
ThanksOpen ControlsNoone plays both GWs with luck?
Open ControlsHi count stumbled over a nice album a week ago it's quite an old one Rolando nite life if you get chance have a listen
Open Controls
Let's hope Chester plays a full 90 this weekend. I can't wait to put him back in my team. Such a bargain.
Open ControlsWhen would the other dgw fixtures on gw 31 be announced? Quite hard to plan ahead without knowing the other dgw fixtures.
Open ControlsWhat to do with this lot 2ft 4.5 ITB
Boruc Davis
Azpi Kosc Yoshida Ward Chester
Haz Mata Yaya Eriksen Pozuelo
Suarez Sturridge Ade
thinking possibly Pozuelo-Ince and roll one transfer over
ThanksOpen ControlsIs Rooney instead of RVP a good investment next 1-2gw to save funds for other dgw players in gw 31?
Seems to be on form but still playing deep...:Open Controlsplenty of other forwards in form to choose from IMHO
Open ControlsSuggestions? Can't go Jrod or Lambert as already have Lallana and Boruc/Davis, already getting Ade.
Planning for Suarez, Rooney and Aguero gw31, can't afford Suarez, RVP, Aguero.Open Controls
I got rid of Rooney last week and not sure I want him back. In tighter games he'll drop deeper. He puts in a great shift every game he plays so is ideal for UFPL Metro, but he needs to score more to justify that price tag. I get the sense with RVP that he'll score most games so that'll be at least 6 pts. Not sure about Rooney.
Open ControlsJust hoping he'll match RVP's points for gw29-31, he'a gone after that. If I get RVP doubt I can afford to keep him with other expensive dgw options in gw31.
Open Controls
He looks primed to go on one of his runs but I'd still probably go RVP if I could. Like you say, it depends who you'd spend the money on though I guess...
Open ControlsJust need him to match RVP for gw29-31. RVP's so expensive he'll definitely impact other plans for gw31.
Open Controls
Glad I held on to Giroud this week but am now thinking I should probably dump him for Adebayor (after the former's price rise obvs) What do you reckon?
Open Controlsyes - after this week, it makes no sense to have ARS players
Open Controls
Repost
Lampard anyone for next 2 GWs?Open ControlsWill he start both?
Open Controls
Speroni
Evra Ivan Olsson
Mata Hazard Lallana puncheon
Ade
That's the team for GW 29 😀 😀Open ControlsBench?
Open Controlsi think many of us will have similar - 2/3che, ade, mata 1/2 SOT and 3 CPL/NOR
Open ControlsIm just getting 2 palace in the hope they have a double in GW 31. I will play with 8 if it is confirmed they don't.
Open Controls
I have 6 players currently for GW29, already on a hit. How many, if any should I get in for GW29? Another -4 perhaps? Set up is currently:
Marshall
Ward Chester Baines Koscielny*
Gerrard Hazard Ince
Suarez Sturridge Adebayor(c)
Mannone Collins Pozuelo Mata
I'm half debating just saving as so many of my missing players will have double gameweeks later on? Thoughts?Open ControlsAre you keeping Poz all season?
Best get rid of deadwood for -4 as they will hopefully do something in GW29 but it gives you another option in future GWs.Open Controlsonly worth a hit if you are likely to keep them for a few weeks
Open Controls
Mannone/Adrian owners. Are you keeping? (in regards to gw29)
Open ControlsKeep Noone or get Snodgrass/Ince instead?
Open Controlssave the transfer for GW29
Open Controls
Gw29 team
Boruc
Turner ollson ward (baines chester)
Noone snod mata hazard lallana

Gw30: ade-> kun
Gw31: snod-> yaya
Good plan? Only have 5dgwer for gw31 though which is a concern unless i take hitsOpen ControlsIs it mad to keep mata and Yaya?
I can field 11 GW28 and 9 GW 29Open ControlsSame as me
Open ControlsCool
Open Controls
Hope not - that's my plan
Open ControlsCool
Open Controls
I can currently field four players in 29, and that's if Evans manage to get back. Nine sounds like an absolute dream.
Open Controls
Need help with what to do over the next few weeks:
Adrian/Mannone
Kosc, Wars, Shaw, Collins, Olsson
Mata, Hazard, Yaya, Lallana, Pozuelo
Suarez, JRod, Adebayor
1 FT 0.7 ITB
I should be fine for GW28 but unsure about 29...Open ControlsSave it, see out GW28 and reassess next GW29.
Open Controls
would it be stupid to do suarez>aguero when hes back fit for the DGW
Open Controlsgiven your name - it would be a calculated punt if you can't afford to have both
Open ControlsI think so yes.
Open ControlsYou should make this decision yourself. I cannot advise as if it's incorrect advice I'll be on the end or a torrent of abuse from you.
Open Controls
Guys, my team for this week as it stands:
Adrien
Vlaar - Shaw - Yoshida - Koscielny
Gerrard - Sterling - Noone - Cazorla
Adebayor - Suarez
Just Burner on the bench, (Mannone, Mata and RVP with no game).
I have 2FT, only want to use 1, and with GW 29 in mind, so which do you think:
A) Gerrard ---> Lallana
B) Sterling ---> Snodgrass
C) OtherOpen Controls
