Our first members article of the week delves into the data from the previous round of fixtures. We cast an eye over the displays of Liverpool, as well as Arsenal, Leicester and Southampton’s new strikers and also analyse a number of favourably priced midfielders from Spurs, Everton and Burnley over the season so far.

    So much for Oblak being injured... 😡

    No keeper to bring on tomorrow...

    53pts with Messi, J.Martinez & Fabregas to play...

      Is Oblak injured? His inclusion cost me the Tevez points as I had to do moya>Oblak and Tevez>Llorente :/

      1. Zep
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Nah he played, I was told he was out for a few months and never checked it myself...

        Played Moya on good faith... not anymore...

    Is Hendo, Sterling and Balo too much for WHU ?

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      if they play like they did this evening and against villa then yes. If they play like they did against Spurs then seems reaosnable

    Debuchy & Mata > Berty & Di Maria for Free?

    1. Captain Peacock
      • 12 Years

      Do it

  4. The Hound

    Are people with cr7 (c) twisting to messi?

    1. Zep
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Nah I'm happy with 18pts...

      1. The Hound
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I was happy but then I looked at the fixture, it's there best one! Not so much I'm not happy, just concerned others may (c) messi for a Hat trick or summat.

        1. Zep
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          I usually stick around 9-10pts... Messi needs two goals to beat it... I'm not risking it personally...

          1. The Hound
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Yeah u r talking sense. It's a nice score without been exceptional is the problem. Perhaps should stick and aim for solid first week.

      May as well. It's only UCL.

          11 years, 5 months ago

          😀
          Well personally I'm not hesitating to switch. In my mind Messi is guaranteed at least a goal. But won't be surprising if he scores 5.

    Thoughts on this lot?

    Elliot ■ Krul
    Moore ■ Debuchy ■ Ferdinand ■ Clyne ■ Chester
    Hazard ■ Ramsey ■ Sterling ■ Albrighton ■ Sigurdsson
    Rooney ■ Dzeko ■ Diego Costa

    1 FT, £0.2m in the bank.

    Sell Dzeko & Debuchy for a hit?

    Thanks in advance. 😀

        Him or Pelle seems the idea atm.

        1. Woy of the Wovers
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Tbh Debuchy, Ferdinand, Chester worries me more. Get a credible third Def before tinkering with the forwards.

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            You are probably right. Can't afford differential forwards scoring little also.

            1. Woy of the Wovers
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              Now that I see Albrighton, think a -4 is in order. Get a safe third defender, say Naylor, then drop Dzeko for Pelle/Welbeck. Or even Albrighton -> Zaha.

    3. floydy_floyd

      V similar to mine. Been hovering over wc.

        How many changes would you make outside defence to your side though?

        1. floydy_floyd
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          2 and entire defence.

    4. Sweetpea
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      dzeko to ade/welbz (welbz might allows for Rooney>Aguero imo)

      no need for a hit imo.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        When do I get rid of Debuchy? Not sure on Ade long term over Pelle/Welbeck.
        Guess I could get Duff for Deb if funds are an issue.

        1. Clam. ☘️

          What was the score for LMS this week?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            38 is safe. Plenty of hits dropped it a bit.

        2. Sweetpea
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          You can get rid Debuchy for free next week, i'll admit it's slow but it saves points.

          I'd go Welbeck - they wont plat Dortmund away every week and will get plenty of chances and is seriously cheap.

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  8. Sess!
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Ivan surely can't keep those stats up. Ridiculous. I've for gone for Baines this week instead....hope it's justified but fear it won't be.

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Ivan's stats are phenomenal. Right up there with the best forwards and midfielders, then there is the clean sheet potential as well.

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah it's scary....might be shuffling Baines straight back out if Ivan does something I'm next couple games.

        1. Woy of the Wovers
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          It's why I sold Mata.

      2. Mr Tin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Unfortunately now much clean sheet potential at the moment, but I'm still holding for the moment.

      3. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        The annoying thing is Ivan's outrageous attacking-mindedness is probably a big contributing factor into Chelsea defence being surprisingly porous.

        Very annoying for Terry/Cahill/Azpi/Courtois owners :angry:

        1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
          • 15 Years

          that's more like it

    Ospina should get a start over Szczęsny at the weekend.

    1. theloveburglar
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      should get a start over that tube every weekend

  10. Sweetpea
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Debuchy on 91% and red flagged, will he fall?

    Basically are Fiso over-estimating or under-estimating fallers?

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      he was nearly at 100 on saturday.. they then readjusted for the flag and brought him down to 60 or so.. so ud have to assume they've adjusted for the flag. still very unreliable but i'd say it'll be a fall tomorrow at the latest

      1. Sweetpea

      I have 7.2. Don't want jelly stinking up my team 🙁

  12. Enzo the Baker
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Sorry for the re-post guys, didn't get any replies the first time around.

    I was considering a newer/more adventurous strategy this time in FPL since the prices aren't fluctuating all that much and it's easier to buy back players. Essentially I would look for more short term payoffs (within 1 or 2 GW).

    Having said that, I'm thinking of taking a -4 hit for : Chester + Ramsey -> Baines + Chadli

    Fixtures look great and B+C stats look strong. This will mostly be a 1 week punt, looking to have Sanchez/Ramsey/Welbeck back in the team for the goalfest that is the North London Derby.

    The downside is that selling Ramsey is dangerous, but I don't think he's the most explosive player, and AVL seem pretty tight at the back.

    1. Enzo the Baker
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      * by Fixtures look great I mean this week's fixtures for Baines and Chadli specifically, not over the next few GWs for either.

    2. rickardinho
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I'm thinking along the same lines but about fabregas>Baines (with wisdom and Boyd the makeweights)

      1. ★FLiPsKiLLz★
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Fabregas > Baines? are you serious? Fab is a MUST have IMO

      Let me guess...his form isn't sustainable?

    2. Jimbo123

      Excellent news. I'm torn between him and Dyer....

    3. leo_messi

      great news...I already have him in my team so really want to see this stuff...

  14. Demelbrush

    Anyone got any idea if Bertrand is gonna rise tonight?

    1. Enzo the Baker
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      If anyone tells you they do, they're just guessing. Price sites are broken

      1. A guy
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Fiso isn't broken. Is it?
        He's not rising though.

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Think it's confident to say no.

  15. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    People's opinions on Blackett? LVG seems To have faith in him

    1. Demelbrush
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Get de gea.

    2. Demí
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      He's playing because of injuries.

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        True. Didn't think of that!

      2. The Light Knight
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        How far off is Jones?
        I reckon Tyler's ahead of Evans and Smalling in the pecking order now though,

        1. FF Dirtbag
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          It's something to watch!

        2. Demí
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Near the end of September was the last date i think. Tyler's done okay, better than Evans infact and may well be good for another gameweek or two. When Jones comes back though, it's time to get rid. I don't think LVG would drop Evans before Tyler tbh, and with Shaw eventually going to LB, it'll be a headache if people keep him. Rojo, Evans, Jones, Blackett and Smalling for two spots

          1. FF Dirtbag
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Rojo is always gonna have a spot surely. Being a new signing...

          2. The Light Knight
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Rafa and Tony flop at RB like they've been doing for last couple seasons, Jones/Smalling stuck out there. Shaw won't lay off the cake so that's Rojo on the left. And Jonny is just .... Jonny. Blackett nailed for the season 😀

            If only

  16. Sweetpea

      Gave up with it last year after a couple of seasons playing. Such a hassle

    4. Zep
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I picked my team a few hours before and went to bed, unfortunately doing that meant I wasn't around for lineups, so I'm left with Moya's 0pts staring at me with no sub keeper... 🙁

      1. rickardinho
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I would have preferred that situation. Would have got me 3 Roberto points and kept me from getting rid of Tevez 🙁

        1. Zep

      You made a valid point about the site being so graphically heavy. Even when the site is running as smooth as its supposed to, my computer struggles to load the site. Whoever is in charge of www accessibility wants sacking.

  18. Indio
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Toying with pressing WC button, and just worked out I can do this team (3-5-2). I like the attack, but is it too unbalanced?

    Heaton (Gilks)
    Clyne, Chambers, Naylor, Duff, Moore
    Siggy, Ramsey, Fab, ADM, Sterling
    Aguero, Costa (Zamora)
    (0.0 in bank)

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      seems balanced enough. Don't know if i'd go for chambers, but he could be a steal

  19. Demelbrush

    Terry > Bertrand or Baines. Only 1FT

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Swansea are a tough team.. cant see a CS for Soton this week tbh. Baines on the other hand... however you gotta think long term and where you'll use that cash etc

      1. Demelbrush
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Cheers. Yeah it's either keep Rooney long term with Baines or have kun and Bertrand.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      No. There is more to a team than 3 forwards.

    2. theloveburglar

      not at all

    3. Parm

      Yes.

      Need one of Agüero/Rooney IMO.

    Only had Moreno and CR7 (C) so i'm pretty pleased. Stick with Ronaldo (C)?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      You only had two players on your team from all the games today?

      1. Nice to Finally Michu

        Nevermind, I skipped over Calhanoglu's name by mistake :/ and i've already subbed out Moya

          Ah okay. Just was read that and thought how in the hell hah 😀

    what are the %age chances of this couple starting at the weekend ?

    a) Falcao
    b) Mane

    all opinions appreciated

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      50%
      10%

      1. GREENDREAMS11
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        why so low on Mane Sess ?

        1. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          They just won 4-0. Koeman has no reason to instantly change it and would be ultra harsh on whoever he left out. 30 mins off bench for mane I reckon.

    2. Demí
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I think less than 50% for both. Would be hard for Koeman to drop anyone from a team that won 4-0, and Mane wasn't on the bench either. May be a subs role for him.

      Falcao didn't play because of Jet Lag, but seems that LVG may just give him another outing off the bench, i can see him starting after Leicester though.

      1. GREENDREAMS11
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        ok. cheers guys, so dont make the mistake of hoping Falcao will start then.

    Bartley likely to get a run for the next few weeks?

    1. theloveburglar
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      no

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      No they signed a centre back from Napoli who will come in.

  26. Captain Peacock
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Welbeck or Pelle? Consider the Dortmund game as an aberration before evaluating.

    1. Captain Peacock
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I'm also wondering how much of this weekend was about the quality of Pelle vs the incompetence of Newcastle.

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Pelle.......form, fixtures and can actually finish.

      1. Captain Peacock
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Do you think he'll score vs swans or can I wait another week for him?

    3. Captain Beefheart
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      pelle, don't get the love for Welbeck at all.

  27. Cooper123

    Need to get rid of Chester. Want Naylor, and no wiggle room on the budget.

    Any prospect of him rising tonight, or am I safe to wait until after tomorrow's games?

    1. Captain Peacock
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I doubt he'll rise. What do FISO say?

    2. Cooper123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      FISO says so, 113%, but I have no idea what that actually means these days.

      1. Captain Peacock
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Then maybe it could happen, but who knows how accurate they are.

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Neither Swansea nor Hull have European commitments so what's the difference in waiting?

      1. Captain Peacock
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Injury in training.

      2. Cooper123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        If he rises, I can;t afford him.

  28. Captain Beefheart
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Who to captain Adebayor or Rooney?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Both look like good options.
      I'm captaining Rooney. I'd probably captain Ade if I had him.

      1. Captain Beefheart
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Ye it's a tricky one, also considering Di mario.

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I've got Ade at the moment.

    3. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      As an extension of this question, Rooney or Eriksen for captain?

      1. Captain Beefheart
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Rooney better odds of scoring I would think.

  29. rickardinho
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Ronaldo(c) and Moreno 24 pts
    6 others - 12 points.

    What a fail.

    Need Martinez, hazard and Ivan to come good tomorrow.

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Good luck, mate!

    2. ★FLiPsKiLLz★
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I changed my (C) from CR7 to Messi. Gotta gamble! haha

    Wilshere injured now too. Why always Arsenal
