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.
quick question,
Chadli or Naismith this weekend?
Ooh tough one that. Naismith for me though.
Thanks... I was going for chadli for more chances of starting but I guess they boht on the same boat about starting...
I have Chadli but if I had Naismith I'd play him instead.
Everton look full of goals, Tot look forlorn in final third.Thanks. Will think hard now but I will see if i get more comments..
Not comparing apple to apple... and they don't look good with the fixture, i will take chadli if i have to choose between them just because he is a bit more nailed on that Naismith now.
Exactly my thought my friend...he has more chance of starting but he hasnt been playing for 90 minutes and Lennon is back too
Both play derby matches this week. So... it's really a gamble to choose between them. Wait until last minute before deadline to decide then...
or is it worth -8 hit to do below?
Haha. Not even -4!
on the other hand I could always take a hit and do wilson & naismith --> moore/dummet & Ulloa.
Then I get to start Ulloa over chadli. Worth it?oh and a -8 hit that is
I don't suggest you to do a -4 hit on it.
Don't talk about whether Ulloa scores or not first. Imagine if wilson had a cleansheet and moore/dummet gave u 1 point... and also your -4 hit!
Btw, dummet is risky for starting position.Good analysis! and it's -8 hit hahah...so its a no go then for me. Thanks mate
Kone back gonna be a problem for Naismith?
More about Lukaku and Eto'o.
It's looking more complex now, wih Kone also back.
Naismith to Ulloa looks smart.Certainly. Do it quick before the Argentinean price at 5.8
Yea. Return of Pienaar will be a more relevant in this regard.
Ignoring price: hazard or fab?
Still Hazard (yeah I'm stubborn).
This.
+1
Fab until Hazard displays some regularity of returns.
Had Fabs from the start and would be reluctant to shift, but not sure, looks like Hazard is about to find his form.. If Costa got injured, I would probably double up.
I'd go Hazard, personally.
Got Fab and i wouldn't change though.
Hazard, but you cant ignore price.
I'm going for hazard
for all the talk about how Cesc is a better pick than Haz, he only has 8 points more than the Belgian marvel, and I will keep Haz in my team for the whole season (barring injuries). I'm convinced he'll score more points than Cesc by the end of the season (you can bookmark this).
Is Zabaleta available for the next game? He got a red but does he serve the suspension by not playing the cup tie today?
I keep looking at him..He's on -1 for the season so far !!!..Ownership should be about nil by next week...
Haha, I'm actually thinking because Sagna is available for a free in my draft league and my defense has a spot. Thinking of bringing him in just for a week - only if zaba is suspended though!
Zabaleta will serve his suspension midweek.
Thanks! Thought that must be the case.
This is going to sound crazy, but having 2 x FT is stopping me from Wc'ing. Seems like a waste.
Problem is I'll likely only use one this week and then have 2 again next week, stopping from using it again.
Meanwhile, Krul, Foster, Lovren, Eriksen, Davis, Rooney & Naismith continue to gather dust.
Foster might be alright now that Joleon is playing. I think I'm going a WBA double up this week 😮
Yeah me too 😮
Forgot about Lezzy, Irvine was singing his praises.
Reckon I should WC?Might be worth it.
Btw, look at Krul –> Mannone, looks like Don Vito is backYeah was looking at that, big 10 at the weekend.
Foster & Wisdom.
Ah I see you had both on the bench too ðŸ˜
Oh yeah 😎
Think about how you'd use the 2FTs and take a -4 hit - does that make the team look any better?
Yeah taught about that, but I reckon 80% of my hits fail 😀
Always result in a red arrow, due to around 4+2pts (costs of the hit)
Same issue/dilemma.
Think I might use only 1 FT for Naismith -> Pelle/Welbeck.
In my case, Krul Elliot Terry Chester Wisdom Marney & Rooney are the ones to gather the dust.Very similar situation. Wisdom might be okay for a few weeks (see above from Billy)
I am getting -8 this week to get rid of some of the dead weights. Need it to hold the slip. Foster looks good for this week, Lovren get QPR soon, davis is your 5th mid: so these are not big headache
what about: Eriksen,Rooney,Naismith -> Downing,Aguero,Pelle ? If budget allows of courseLovren, Eriksen & Naismith > Duff, Fabregas & Pelle for -4pts?
I like that actually.
That looks very sound business.
me likey
Lovren to Pva
Naismith to Welbeck
Eriksen to Fab
with that 2.9 itb does that work out?
Take the 4 point hit, team loads better, still got wc
Here?Cheers SAB, was just looking at a that....
Below, where i mis replied, other thought Chambers over PVA, probably right
Hazard love is in air.... Worth bringing if on WC? 😉
I'd definitely consider it, but the problem is who to leave out (I'm still a big fan of Alexis).
In my case, obviously for Fabregas or maybe Di Maria 🙂
Yup! I'm very sure I'll get him in place of ADM in 2-3 weeks.
May even double up with both him and Walcott later on.
Haz, Sterling, ADM, Fab, Siggy
Eriksen - any stats/tips? Or it's his time to go with no more chances.
Any Ramsey and Rooney thoughts are welcome too )
at the start of the season i decided to just have blind faith in eriksen and keep him until injury. i've still got him and i'm giving him this week but if he does not look good i'm probably gonna swap him out
That's the problem, Spurs are just incapable of scoring for now.
I'd get rid, too many other options.
Struggling on this one, any help much appreciated.
A) Alexis, Di Maria and Ulloa
B) Di Maria/Alexis, Siggy and Falcao
A would allow me to get Baines in a couple of weeks, B would leave me with a 5.5/6 defender instead.
Thanks guys!
a) seems the ticket. Ulloa has proven himself now i think.
I prefer A.
Cheers guys, I'll go with A!
If you buy FIFA in US PS Store.
And then log in into your Aussie PS ID and play FIFA.
When you play FUT which server will you be put into?absolutely no idea, can't you play the demo (or 14) for a few more days to eliminate the risk?
Could end up costing you -4
😀
Lovren to Pva
Naismith to Welbeck
Eriksen to Fab
with that 2.9 itb does that work out?
Take the 4 point hit, team loads better, still got wcLooks good to me.
Prefer Chambers to PVA, but yeap!
Reply fail to Jafooli
Oh...well Jafooli - it looks good!
😀 thanks
Cheers SAB, cash short by 0.2 , can get Duff.
Morning all
Would this be a good WC team for GW6 onwards?
Forster
Shawcross, Clyne, Duff
Siggy, Sterling, Ramsey, Fab, ADM
Pelle, Costa
Mannone, Dier, Wisdom, Vardy
...not sure who I'd bench. Mannone did me proud last week!
Cheers
WILDCARD team
A) Mannone, Moore, Boyd, Falcao / Sturridge (kun's olay time rotation and injury prone puts me off)
B) Forster, Wilson, Ramsey , Ulloa
XXX / Schmeichel
Duff, Chambers, Baines, Lovren, XXX
Fabregas, Di Maria, Sterling, Siggy, XXX
Costa, Welbeck, XXX
ThanksNaismith--->Pelle/Welbeck (-4)
Thoughts?
Cheers 🙂I'd wait until after the midweek games, could maybe hold Naismith for another week if that means avoiding a hit? If you'd have to take the hit anyway, do it this week.
I'll probs still have to take a hit next week
Cheers 🙂
Just do it! 😉
🙂 Which one though? On Pelle atm....with a potential swap in GW8 if needed.
More upside to Pellè atm. I will have both.
Mmm...I have Kun Rooney and Naismith ATM.
Roo and Naismith out for Costa nad Pelle this week.
Cheers
Naismith--->Pelle/Welbeck (without -4)
Thoughts? 😉
Think i'm going with Pelle, but I'll wait until after the Cup game between the two teams.Sounds good!
How come almost nobody has Dier in their team. I am thinking of getting Baines next week or the week after. who should i sacrifice, Dier or Moreno?
moreno will give me extra cash, but he has better fixture and I believe Livepool will really work hard on their defence give they lost 2 in 5 with crappy organization. Dier however has also been conceeding lately and I am doubting his starting spot for long term.
any imputs will be appreciatedLiverpool defence is shot forever - bad choices have already been made. Spurs may well improve.
Thanks
saved up 2FTs AND had £1.6m ITB
My big moves this week?
Coloccini -> Wisdom.
livp/MANU/chel/ARS in next couple.
😕"next couple" is a bit of an overstatement.
next 8 then kimozabe
So "couple" now means "4", does it ?' 😆
Foursomes work for me.
Benched for those GWs 😀
Does anyone else get tempted to do their transfers early just so the team looks all nice and set on the page? Probably just me, im odd.
Same here! 😀
😉
Yep, I'm resisting pulling the trigger on my transfers right now - doing them immediately would have no benefit to me, but it just makes me uneasy not having them in already...
Definitely, I'm usually wrapped up for the next GW by Sunday! It's bitten me a few times though.
Oh yeah, all over that.
I did Mata -> ADM, Man Utd have no cup match this week.
Already made 0.2 m from ADM price rise and Mata price drop 😉
Please support my bid to represent the Community!
I'll bring the gap back from the pundits!!
Foster (4.5 BUR)
Ivanovic (7.2 AVL) Bertrand (5.1 QPR) Duff (4.1 wba)
Sterling (8.8 EVE) Fabregas (9.4 AVL) Di Maria (9.8 WHM) Puncheon (5.9 LEI)
Costa (10.9 AVL) Ulloa (5.7 cpl) Aguero (12.1 hul)

PLEASE VOTE!!!Arv, Doos? I know you both love a bit of electioneering, can I count of your votes?
I do. Sadly, I don't love your team, mate. ðŸ™
Fair enough Doos, cheers!!
Help me guys! Give me one name I should bench from this lot..
MID: Sterling (EVE), Tadic (QPR), Sigurddson (sun), Di Maria (WHU), Fabregas (AVL)
ATT: Berahino (BUR), Balotelli (EVE), Diego Costa (AVL)Berahino/Balo.
Berahino! Easily.
Berahino. Burnley could keep it tight again, and again, and again...
Thanks guys!
I have Rooney in a draft league. Should I try and trade him for. Falcao or RvP or hold?
Guaranteed starter so hold. I got RVP and Adebayor. ðŸ™
I got Balo and Ade along with him, I know the feeling!
...and you're complaining! I was left with some real rotters.
picking up from the earlier discussion heres my full team :
ivan moreno clyne (hutton wisdom)
siggy schiney sanchez sterling (zaha)
adebayor costa pelle
was considering
zaha + ade --> ulloa + adm for a hit
ade --> falcao and save a hit
hold this team though id like some utd cover
advice?Good thinkin. I would go for 1
Time to WC... Yes or No?
Gilks Begovic
Clyne Chester Dummett Rafael Chambers
Sterling Fabregas Ramsey Sigurdsson Marney
Adebayor Costa Rooney
Nope. Get Adebayor out for Welbeck/Pelle/Ulloa, get PvA in for Chester and your team looks decent.
Then next week you can sort out GK.
time to get rid of Silva ---> Ozil or Ramsey? thanks
see below 🙂
Keeping looking at David Silva for this week..thoughts ?
He seems to have had a slow start in FPL this year but playing really well. With City's good run coming up he is "due" a few points
Looking at last seasons fixtures he played really well against Hull and managed a goal and an assist in a MOM performance...the fixture obviously suits him
I have no coverage for CitySlow on the uptake this morning Doosra..(getyeryayasout ^)..
The only player I'm really interested in is the second on that table...Although both Kompany and Silva might actually be good picks for a while now...
Don't let GetYourYayasOut see this 😯
hehehe...
Assume you intended to hit the trifecta? 😉
I actually think silva is a decent option with city fixtures on the up though hard to justify when the likes of di Maria and Fabregas are plundering pointsUlloa is the key to that trio..
Who is the best option to replace Krul.
(a) Mannone
(b) Heaton
(c) Begovic
(d) Hart
(e) Forster which means a double Soton defence (Clyne). I'm not too keen on this one.
I'm currently on Mannone over Heaton as I want to get Duff next week.
Cheers.I quite like Mannone and his saves points and some CS now and then. The team just seems to concede lots of chances from outside the box, which is a good thing for a keeper.
Excellent feedback my friend. Thanks.
West Ham fans, what's likely to happen to the team once Carroll is back in the starting XI? Trying to gauge the impact on Downing's position/production it will have, more specifically
Nothing will happen to him..BFS is loving him...
Thanks, am looking at him as a 5th mid atm
So am I..In fact no looking about it...he's in next week.
GW7/8 for me 😀 planning an international week WC at the mo
He's an Allardyce signing so will keep his spot but may be utilised differently should Carroll be put back in the team.
Differently in what way? I ask because of his performance last week at the tip of that midfield diamond, had a wonderful game and was hoping he'd be placed there more often
Tbh I'm struggling to know how AC fits in..Valencia wide and Downing wide ?
Another poor week. Please help me.
De Gea, Gilks
Terry, Pieters, Taylor, Hutton, Wisdom
Mata, Ramsey, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Marney
Costa, Rooney, Adebayor
2 FT. 0 ITB. Who goes? Who stays? Who comes in?
Mata --> Di matia
Mata/Ade to be chopped
Adebayor -> Pelle, Mata -> ADM
Mata -> ADM
Ade --> Welbeck
DDG -> Heaton, Mata -> ADM
Capteeeeeooon>?
1) Fábregas
2) PellePelle if I own him. Even with Costa.
Agreed. 🙂
I'm actually finding the uncertainty in prices is making me do my transfers earlier than I would have done if I'd known changes for sure. Is anyone else finding this?
Kicking myself because I did a -8 to bring in Di Maria and Pelle but downgraded my defence to do so, when I think now I should've done Rooney to Enner Valencia. Should I be kicking myself?
I dont think anybody should be kicking themselves for enner valencia
Defenders Selection, worth reading!
Before season starts, many of us wanted to pick defenders that have better chance earning clean sheets, For instance: Chelsea, Stoke... But after GW5, they gave us only 1 out of 5 games. On the other hand, teams that we had tried to avoid like Villa, Burnley and Sots had 3 clean sheets.
On top of that, we also tried to stick with defenders playing at home. Again, after GW5, clean sheet stat at home vs away is 12:17!!!
So, are you still going to pick defenders with the above criteria? Please discuss.I think over the course of the season the cream will rise to the top.
I hope so. Because I hardly can persuade myself playing the away defenders over the home ones.

I dont think there has been played enough matches to conclude anything much yet
World Cup hangovers are about to ease, promoted teams will gradually lose their winning mentality from the championship, and things will go back to normal very soon imo
