We delve into the Gameweek 5 data this evening in our first members article of the week. Wayne Rooney’s new role for United comes under analysis, as do Burnley and Leicester’s displays up front, whilst a couple of north London-based frontmen are also placed under the microscope after their contrasting weekend performances.

    A) Forster/Hamer
    B) Heaton/Mannone

    Thinking of Tadic + Ade to ADM + Ulloa.
    Allows me to do Ivanovic to Chambers and Ballotelli to Aguero. Hm.

    1. Not Irish
      12 years, 1 month ago

      If you're going that route I'd go Ade>Welbz & Balo>Aguero this week and then Iva>Chambers & Tadic>AdM next week.

      1. Davido989
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Can't do those moves first. ££

        1. Not Irish
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Reverse order? 😀

          1. Davido989
            12 years, 1 month ago

            My brain is hurting from these solutions

    2. Patty
      12 years, 1 month ago

      don't take out Tadic this week because they're playing QPR

  3. st4rt__
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Costa, Pelle or Ulloa captain for this week? Incredibly difficult...

    1. SuperMario
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Costa / Pelle really....

      Pelle is the differential

    2. Patty
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I've got the same toss up too. However I have eliminated it between Pelle and Costa. If Costa is looking likely to get 70+ minutes it's costa captain. If it looks like he won't then its pelle captain.

      1. st4rt__
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Costa's bound to get at least 70 minutes, it'll be Remy mid-week I imagine and Costa will get a rest before Villa, I'll probably flip a coin haha

        1. Patty
          12 years, 1 month ago

          yeah, I really want to do Pelle (c) but Ill probably just end up going with the safe option

    3. Beavis
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Costa no doubt.

  4. Clam. ☘️
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Naismith --> Ulloa worth it for a -4 hit?

    1. Wells - Anti-Dentite!
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Yep.

    2. Beavis
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Not for me.

      1. Clam. ☘️
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Why not? I'd imagine he'll score more than Naismith over the next two GW at least.

        1. Beavis
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Naismith could score against useless Liverpool defence. Can do it for free after.

    3. Walsh
      12 years, 1 month ago

      No way. Do it for free next week, Naismith has a good fixture coming up.

  5. SuperMario
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Hi all..

    What cheap mid(s) are looking like the best idea at this current time looking at form and fixtures...
    I need to sell either Ramsey or Lamela to a cheaper mid to fund better strikers...
    Surely I sell Lamela over Ramsey?? I also have Welbz

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Lamela to Chadli?

      1. Patty
        12 years, 1 month ago

        not chadli

      2. SuperMario
        12 years, 1 month ago

        thought about him but Spurs dont fill me with confidence

    2. Patty
      12 years, 1 month ago

      How much ITB?

      1. SuperMario
        12 years, 1 month ago

        0.1

        Im looking at Rooney & Lovren ---> Costa & Bertrand (free)
        or
        Rooney, Diouf & Lamela --> Costa, Pelle & Chadli/ anyone cheap mid

        1. Patty
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Who are your other Mids?

          1. SuperMario
            12 years, 1 month ago

            ill post below which is easier

  6. Davido989
    12 years, 1 month ago

    A) Chambers ADM Ulloa Aguero.
    B) Ivanovic ADM Pelle Ade.

    1. Wells - Anti-Dentite!

    siggy, rambo, sterling, fab
    costa, aguero, naismith

    (krul, cattermole, hutton, bruce)

    3.6 ITB, 1 FT

    a) ramsey + naismith > pelle + di maria (-8)
    b) siggy + naismith > ulloa + di maria (-8)
    c) naismith > pelle
    d) krul > forster
    e) have a cup of tea and stop worrying

    hate having all this money in the bank but feels a bit of a sideways move in midfield

    1. SuperMario
      12 years, 1 month ago

      a, b,c in that order but -8 is not worth it

  8. Patty
    12 years, 1 month ago

    What's better
    Merte > Chambers (0.5 extra ITB)
    Moreno > PVA

    1. Beavis

    WC Team:

    Foster-Mannone
    Ivanovic-Clyne-Chambers-Wisdom-Duff
    Di Maria-Fabregas-Sterling-Sigurdsson-Boyd
    Aguero-Costa-Ulloa

    How does it look? Any feedback appreciated!

      Looks good!

  11. Skor Hattricksson

    What's the scouting report on Vardy? Flash in the pan or someone to put on the watchlist?

    1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      12 years, 1 month ago

      He's probably the third striker you'd want from Leicester sooo.... 😉

      1. Skor Hattricksson
        12 years, 1 month ago

        The league I'm in Ulloa and Nugent are not available.

        1. Patty
          12 years, 1 month ago

          what do you mean not available

          1. The Machine
            12 years, 1 month ago

            Unavailable

          2. Skor Hattricksson
            12 years, 1 month ago

            It's a draft league. Those players are on other teams. I cannot get them.

            1. Patty
              12 years, 1 month ago

              ok that's a cool concept, how do you join one of those?

              1. Skor Hattricksson
                12 years, 1 month ago

                Some of my mates got together and organized one through Google Docs. We Skyped for the draft. We're using FPL scoring system.

                  12 years, 1 month ago

                  In the same boat. I dont think Vardy is the way to go though.

                2. aaroneous
                  12 years, 1 month ago

                  Ha, same over here. Contemplating dropping Bony for Vardy. From the highlights he certainly looks the real deal. At the heart of everything good for LEI that game. Still, gonna give him another game to see if he's the real deal. 3 away in the next 4, too

  12. John Nerdelbaum

    Draft #1 WC

    0.2 ITB Too risky to ship Siggy?

    Mannone Heaton
    Clyne Naylor Chambers Wisdom Duff
    Haz ADM Sterling Downing Boyd
    Costa Kun Pelle

    1. Evans
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Oi oi downing

      1. John Nerdelbaum
        12 years, 1 month ago

        You a fan? Defence does look lightweight - I would quite like Mangala

    2. Patty
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Not a fan of Downing as 4th mid.

      1. Evans
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Who s scored more points ? Hazard or downing ?

        1. The Machine
          12 years, 1 month ago

          I don't even know where to start

          1. Woy of the Wovers
            12 years, 1 month ago

            Dow

      2. John Nerdelbaum
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Difficult to squeeze much more out of that 4th spot. Anyone take your fancy instead?

  13. The Pep Revolution
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Who do you think is the best midfielder for 6m?

    1. The Machine
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Dyer

    2. Evans
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Downing

    3. John Nerdelbaum
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Puncheon or Dyer

  14. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 1 month ago

    On trend
    ADM , Ulloa

    Out of fashion
    Ramsey , Naismith

    That's most posts covered

    1. Evans
      12 years, 1 month ago

      You forgot downing

  15. Evans
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Is it time to,sell Siggy ?

    1. laGan1n1
      12 years, 1 month ago

      yes

    2. The Machine
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I like their fixtures. He'll get something

      Routledge missed a one on one this weeked (kind of). Would have been a siggy assist

    3. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I'd love him to be more of a differential so yes, please everybody sell him 😉

    4. bodsc

      Who for Evs? Downing?

  16. SuperMario
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Begovic Myhill
    Terry // Naylor // Lovren // Moore // Chester
    Hazard (c) // Ramsey // Lamela // Sterling // Siggy
    Diouf // Rooney // Welbeck

    Options:
    a: Lovren & Rooney ------> Bertrand & Costa (c) for free
    b: Lamela/Ramsey, Diouf & Rooney -----> Chadli, Pelle & Costa (c) for -4
    c: any other suggestions??

    1. Evans
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Wildcard?

      1. SuperMario
        12 years, 1 month ago

        EVS ive NEVER played my WC early in a season ever and been top 10k for 5 years..

        Im now 700k which is scary but I do think its worth keeping for those cancelled games in winter?

        1. The Machine
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Id go A bug saving wildcard for those games is not a good idea. There probably aren't many cancelled games anyway. Just a few dgws coz of the fa cup

    2. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      12 years, 1 month ago

      A is solid

    3. SuperMario
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Ive gone from strongly thinking of doing A tonight as it leaves 0.0 to thinking Ill do B instead as it setsme better long term... Chadli tho, is there a better option and is it Ramsey or Lamela..

      1. SuperMario
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Jesus I have had a look at the WC

        Forster // McCarthy
        Bertrand // Naylor // Wilson // Moore // Chambers
        Fabregas // Sterling // Di Maria // Krankjar // Boyd
        Costa // Aguero // Pelle

        Tempting????

  18. Beans on Toast
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Where can I improve my wildcard team?

    Heaton, Mannone
    Kaboul, Chambers, Pieters, Bertrand, N Taylor
    Fabregas, Sterling, Di Maria, Sigurdsson, Matic
    Costa, Rooney, Welbeck

    1. John Nerdelbaum
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Matic is quite expensive if he's gonna be sub most games.

      In two minds about Rooney

      1. Beans on Toast
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 1 month ago

        not sure about Rooney either. I'm 0.1 short to do Rooney, Matic and Pieters to Aguero, Cork Wilson.

        1. John Nerdelbaum
          12 years, 1 month ago

          What about Kun, Cork/Boyd and Duff/Wisdom

          1. Beans on Toast
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            12 years, 1 month ago

            Defence rotates pretty well. Good enough for the forward upgrades.

    2. SuperMario
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Ive just contemplated a WC and you need some Aguero over Rooney in there

      1. Beans on Toast
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Yeh, could do Matic to Cork, Pieters to Wilson (is he nailed?), but need 0.1 more. Maybe Kaboul to a 4.9.

  19. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 1 month ago

    those looking at Baines in for GW8, presumably for many of you it means a Chelsea defender out (like Ivan), does that mean that you're going without Chelsea defense altogether?

    while in theory it looks fine as they're a bit all over the place, they are still Chelsea and will eventually shore up, no?

    1. st4rt__
      12 years, 1 month ago

      If I remember correctly, we started shaky in defence last season, I'm almost certain Filipe Luis will come in for Ivanovic on a perm sooner or later.

      1. Coaly
        12 years, 1 month ago

        fantastic value when he does, i would think at Azpi/s expense though

  20. Rafinho
    12 years, 1 month ago

    My current team:

    Krul - Guzan
    Ivan - Moreno - PvA - Hutton - Moore
    Di Maria - Sterling - Tadic - Siggy - Boyd
    Aguero - Costa - Welbeck
    0,2 ITB
    2FTs

    I feel that I need some Southampton's defence coverage, and with their fbs going forward a lot Bertrand is very tempting to me.
    Tadic is frustrating mi a lot, should I give him one more chance vs QPR or get rid of him now?
    Would like to have Fabs and Pelle in my team, I can't find a space for Pelle with my current forward line though.
    I don't like my current GKs too (Krul especially).

    What would you recommend for me? Currently set on Ivan & Tadic -> Fabs & Bertrand
    Cheers

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
      12 years, 1 month ago

      No way. Keep Ivan and tadic this week
      Moreno > Bertrand

      1. Rafinho
        12 years, 1 month ago

        I like Moreno's attacking potential though 🙁 and Lpool's fixtures of course.
        thanks for response, I will keep Tadic for this week

        1. BlzE_94
          12 years, 1 month ago

          I'm keeping moreno too but on the bench this week

  21. Hits Magnet
    12 years, 1 month ago

    I'd love to get Pelle in for the next few weeks but who do I drop from Costa/Falco/Welbeck?

    I've got DiMaro but no other Chelsea or Arsenal coverI, so is DM enough Utd cover ???? No choice really (since Tadic doesn't seem to be transfering his stats into points)

    So Falco or Pelle?

  22. GREENDREAMS11
    12 years, 1 month ago

    quick question folks, got both already but unsure which one to play this weekend, leanisng towards Baines myself. Would you go with

    a). Baines

    b) Lovren

    Thanks

    1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      A).

      1. GREENDREAMS11
        12 years, 1 month ago

        cheers sir,

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Bench lovren. Likely to be goals for both teams so if revert to attacking potential

      Plus never bench baines 🙂

      1. GREENDREAMS11
        12 years, 1 month ago

        kinda what I was leaning towards, thanks

    3. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Baines 100%

    4. GREENDREAMS11
      12 years, 1 month ago

      baines it is then. 😉

  23. JayBomb
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Would anyone consider Cap Falcao this week???

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I'd consider it but as your name suggests there are more in form options to pick from

    2. GREENDREAMS11
      12 years, 1 month ago

      yeah, he looks like he will start, why not

    3. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Tempted, but got to go with your grav.

  24. Recoba
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Which option seems best?

    A) Save FT
    B) Naisy > Ulloa
    C) Ramsey + Chester > ADM + Wisdom -4

    Bego Hamer
    Ivan Clyne Duff (Moore Chester)
    Haz Ramsey Sterling Sigs (Marney)
    Aguero Costa Naismith

  25. FortunesAlwaysHiding
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Which set of players would you rather have...

    A)Mane/Mangala/Walcott
    B) Tadic/Ramsey/Terry

    Thanks

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Right now in fpl terms??

    2. GREENDREAMS11
      12 years, 1 month ago

      a when Mane is playing..

  26. st4rt__
    12 years, 1 month ago

    I'm brainstorming for GW8 already and I need a bit of help...

    The strongest XI I would field for that week would be -

    Begovic (McCarthy)
    Clyne - Reid - Taylor (Pieters & PVA)
    Siggy - Cesc - Sterling - ADM (Zaha)
    Costa - Ulloa - Pelle

    Obviously a problem with the Stoke/Swansea fixture so I was thinking - Forster for Begovic & Taylor for Baines (FT and -4 hit)

    Opinions?

  27. Moody1000
    12 years, 1 month ago

    for mirallas owners leave him for one more game since he is a rotational risk?.

    1. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't be worried about rotation for him this GW, longer term its an issue.

    2. Rafinho
      12 years, 1 month ago

      keep him this week, he will play.

  28. Van Dal
    12 years, 1 month ago

    As a utd fan i can see them getting battered at the weekend!

  29. Albert Cole
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Wisdom or Chambers this GW?

  30. bodsc
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Heaton/Mannone
    Clyne - ShawX - PVA - Duff - Wisdom
    Fabregas - ADM - Sterling - Siggy - Boyd
    Welbz - Aguero - Costa

    Is a really tempting WC.

    1. Les Bleus
      12 years, 1 month ago

      What's your current team? That's the template WC which is not a bad thing either.

    2. Total Foot 5
