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.

    Beogovic

    Dier Cyne Moreno

    ADM Fabregas Siggy Sterling

    Welbeck Costa Falcao

    Myhill wisdom PVA Boyd on the bench

    1. MS
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Moreno, get rid of Begovic.

        Stoke have a decent run of fixtures

    2. Muffinz
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I'd probably do Bertrand.. doubling up against QPR at home could pay off handsomely and some pretty decent fixtures after.

      1. Muffinz
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Oh, or maybe Naylor!

    Looking lovely for next weekend...

      Tell me you are joking..triple Soton defence?

      1. Not Irish
        12 years, 1 month ago

        That be no joke.

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

        Something that I'm definitely considering!

      3. Lucy.
        12 years, 1 month ago

        He's not . He told me earlier. I practically choked.

      4. rickardinho
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Lol missed that. Mental.

        I've got Clyne playing but illy expect a Caulker corner goal in the 89th minute of a 5-1 game

    2. rickardinho
      12 years, 1 month ago

      You won't be smiling when you realise that Toby has been dropped for Gatdos, Rooney is playing in midfield again, and Aguero has been rested for the CL game against Roma 😉

      1. Not Irish
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Even if all that goes down as you say, which it won't, I'll still outscore you.

    3. Davido989
      12 years, 1 month ago

      2
      6 6 6
      9 8 9 2
      12 2 2

      1. Not Irish
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Wouldn't mind that score but looking for more.

    4. Frank Black
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I will crush you anyway but it looks decent enough.

    5. Dr Dream
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Do you think Kun will play PL...CL...PL inside of about eight days the week after next ?...he should do but it'll be interesting to see if Pell is prepared to max his minutes out yet...

      1. Not Irish
        12 years, 1 month ago

        That's my only real concern, along with Rooney. But I'm content to watch and wait on that one for another week.

  3. sinik

    if possible I really want to save a transfer before next gameweek so I have 2 during the internatonal break..

    1. Not Irish
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Hoping for this as well.

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      same here

    3. rickardinho
      12 years, 1 month ago

      That's my plan. My team is setup for the next two gw's, and then will have 2fts for Baines and potentially Walcott in gw8 🙂

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

        Walcott will be back to full training but does that mean back also to a sub appearance or start?

        1. rickardinho
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Walcott will come into my team when Tadic's fixture get bad or he stops putting points up

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

    A) Forster/Hamer
    B) Heaton/Mannone

    Leaves:

    ...........................X
    ..........Bertrand, Clyne, de Laet
    Sigurdsson, Fábregas, Di Maria, Sterling
    ...........Agüero, Costa, Welbeck

    X, Duff, Naylor, Boyd.

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

    Balotelli and Ramsey > Lukaku and Di Maria
    And

    A) Naismith > Ulloa
    B) Robertson > chambers

    (-8)

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

      Neither for -8 IMO.

      1. The Generalator
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Neither

        Can you get Pelle?

  6. Lucy.
    12 years, 1 month ago

    On a WC with Costa - Aguero - Pelle

    Should I bring in Welbeck for Aguero?

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

      Definitely not. Hull, Villa are Serg's next two.

    2. The Machine
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I don't think so

      1. Davido989
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Nate. How are we looking for the hockey tournament?

        1. Lucy.
          12 years, 1 month ago

          (Woo Malaysia!)

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

      No Aguero over pelle

      I don't like Welbeck - maybe downgrade and upgrade midfield?

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

        Sorry misread that

        Yes Aguero over Welbeck - ignore the second part

        1. Lucy.
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Ok cheers!

      2. Lucy.
        12 years, 1 month ago

        What? I don't understand what you're suggesting?

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

      I think so.

      1. Lucy.
        12 years, 1 month ago

        But you said you loved that forward line earlier 🙁

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

          Well, it is ace! But mine allows me Hazard.

          1. Lucy.
            12 years, 1 month ago

            Doesn't bother me 😉

    5. Voice of the Mysterons
      12 years, 1 month ago

      No

    6. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. Aguero hugely over rated on here imo. The extra money will more than make up any point difference invested in higher scoring players elsewhere.

      1. Lucy.
        12 years, 1 month ago

        No consensus. Damn!

        Cheers! 🙂

        1. In Like Flynn.
          • Has Moderation Rights
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Good luck which ever way you go Lucy.

          1. Lucy.
            12 years, 1 month ago

            Welbeck will be in soon enough either way.

    7. The Light Knight
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Leave it a fortnight

      1. Lucy.
        12 years, 1 month ago

        The WC? It's already been activated for a day 😉

    8. Not Irish
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Kun Falcao Welbeck if I were on a WC

      1. Lucy.
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Yes but you're a United fan in Costa denial 😉

        1. Not Irish
          12 years, 1 month ago

          But Dat Guy allows you to fit Hazard in 😉

  7. sweglet

    cant wait for the returns from

    fab ramsey sterling adm
    costa welbeck pelle

    mwuahaha

  8. MS
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Used WC, 1.8 in the bank.

    GK: Forster-Heaton

    DEF: Ivanovic-Clyne-Baines (Wisdom-Duff)

    MID: Di Maria-Sterling-Cesc-Siggy (Cork)

    ATT: Costa-Ulloa-Welbeck

    Also, is Ivanovic nailed on? Someone said he could be rotated.

  9. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 1 month ago

    What needs fixing? Am thinking Krul out. 0.7m in the bank

    ----------------------Krul-------------------

    ------Moreno - Wisdom - Clyne----

    Sterling - Di Maria - Siggy - Fab

    -----Aguero - Costa - Welbeck-----

    -

    Subs - Chambers, Hutton, Boyd

    1. MS
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Not much really, maybe you can upgrade your second GK to rotate.

      1. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 1 month ago

        second keeper is McCarthy

    2. piquiblanco
      12 years, 1 month ago

      You have no Swans defence - Krul to Fabiański would be clever!

  10. roghippo
    12 years, 1 month ago

    siggy to moses ??

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

      No way

    2. XhakaCan
      12 years, 1 month ago

      ..

    3. MS
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Get out. Now.

  11. Jimjam
    12 years, 1 month ago

    WC active. Currently on this:

    Forster (Gilks)
    Clyne - Chambers - Naylor (PVA - Duff)
    Di Maria - Fabregas - Sterling - Siggy (Boyd)
    Aguero - Costa - Pelle

    0.3 in bank

    Any obvious ways to improve?

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

      Very similar to mine, so excellent! Not sure about Chambers, though. A Leicester defender looks a good shout for a while - I've gone with de Laet.

    2. MS
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Expensive front, but your cheap defence isn't that bad. Try different solutions and see what fits you most, you have unlimited transfers.

    3. The Orienteer - find me in …
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty much template.

  12. Dazza66
    12 years, 1 month ago

    My team seems to look good on paper but have not performed for the past two weeks

    Any suggestions welcome for any potential changes for GW6


    Foster

    Chambers, Wisdom, Lovren
    Sigurdsson, Milner, Fábregas, Sterling, Ramsey
    Diego Costa, Balotelli
    Bench
    Krul, Adebayor, Dummett, Dier

    1. MS
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Get rid of Balotelli and Adebayor to upgrade Milner, as you're playing3-5-2.

    2. Voice of the Mysterons
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Milner? Way better options out there

    Buckle up everybody it's story time

    Once Upon a Time there was a young man called Jonny. Now Jonny was a happy go lucky chap just trying to make his way his way in the world. Jonny had 2 friends called Rio and Nemanja. But Rio and Nemanja never Jonny play with them and this made Jonny sad.

    Then one day Rio and Nemanja hurt themselves playing and so Jonny was allowed to play. Jonny was now very happy. Jonny got a run of playing and he was doing very well, not letting in goals and even managed to score himself.

    Now, there was a group of people who were very interested in Jonny as his card was a cheap one, especially as he played for the best team in the district. These people were very happy. Then one day something happened. Jonny's headmaster told the horrified onlookers that Jonny wouldn't be allowed to play in the last game and suddenly all his cards were sold or put to the back of the back. But Jonny's headmaster had lied and Jonny did play, and didn't let any goals in, and all those people who sold their cards weren't very happy.

    Something changed in Jonny that day. He realised that he quite like the idea of people keeping his card in case it was useful, it was like a drug to Jonny. So it began Firstly, Rio and Nemanja were let back into the playground and Jonny went into background again. Then when he was allowed to play he let goals in.

    Nemanja and Rio left the playground and Jonny was now the big down in town. But this wasn't enough, oh no, not for Jonny. Firstly his allowed his mate Pat to go off whilst no goals had been let in, and allowed one to go in, 30 seconds after Pat had gone off. Then he scored a goal, and let no goal in, in game no one cared about, then he did it again.

    Then one day it was Jonny's turn to hurt himself. Now, this was supposed to be a minor injury, and so one, poor, brave soul refused to trade his card in, in the hope it might be worth something. When Jonny eventually came back, he let in 2 goals, and made the poor man cry.

    Yet, still, many poor souls bought his card again in the summer, only to see it rendered worthless just days before it becmae active, leaving them frantically trying to swap. When Jonny was ready to go again, shares in his card soared again, then Jonny hurt himself again.

    So, continues the cycle. Will you buy a card from Jonny again?

      JK. There's a lot wrong with you but I like you. I'd also like to say Evans is a troll.

      12 years, 1 month ago

      Two transfers that we need to stop from happening ever again...

      JK > Evans
      WR > Aguero

      Seriously doing psychological damage to the pair of you...

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Oh trust me, Evans has joined Lukaku on my never again list

        1. Dr Dream
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Strange how we all have our trolls...RVP for me believe it or not...Every time I get him he's gone off the boil or got injured...

  14. SuperMario
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Evening all, absolutely shocking season so far but managed to get myself 2 free transfers to work with this week.. Only thing is - as no one knows the price rises / falls my planned transfers leave 0,0 in the bank so should I do them now tonight?????

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

    If i do Lovren & Rooney ------> Bertrand & Costa I would have 0 ITB and would put Costa captain...
    Would also mean no United cover for the GW...

    1. SuperMario
      12 years, 1 month ago

      anyone care to give me their views??

    2. MS
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Do it.

    3. piquiblanco
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I'd do it now.

    4. thischarmingman
      12 years, 1 month ago

      No Costa = Shocking season. So yeah, get him.

      1. SuperMario
        12 years, 1 month ago

        sold 2 weeks ago, sickening

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

      I'd look to get Aguero

      You have Hazard to cover off Costa to some extent and Chelsea have some tricky games coming up

      Rooney to Aguero

      Maybe Lamela to someone to fund it

      1. SuperMario
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Interesting point... I need Costa this week as having sold him 2 weeks ago its just safer to have him!!!

        Might sell Hazard / Ramsey / Lamela to fund Aguero in the coming weeks

    6. Alan Hansen's Emu
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Think your strikers need sorting.

      Like the Diouf pick, however, Welbeck isn't a big player - downtrade defence and upgrade attack.

      1. SuperMario
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks all for the comments, I think ill do the transfers now because if i miss out by 0.1 ill be so p**sed off....

        Thats my plan ROB, Diouf has to be kept with the fixtures but Lamela, Ramsey are up for grabs..

  15. ManTree(v2!) or just JAY!
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Rooney to Welbeck or Ulloa?

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

      Keep.

    2. Cahill
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Rooney this week?

    3. zuzuViking
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Keep for one more week: West ham at home, good history, expect a re-bounce, Mata will start next game pushing Rooney forward and RvP on the bench.

      If you insist, Ulloa, form, fixtures (doesnt really matter as he is fixture proof), value (spend the extra buck elsewhere), ultra high self esteem.

  16. Dušan Citizen
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Badly want Lukaku in my team for Liverpool match 🙁 Liverpool defence is on the level of QPR and they gonna concide atleast 2-3 goals

    1. Davido989
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Inconsistent, overpriced, Baines.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Liverpool, Liverpool defence, Lovren and Mignolet 😀

        1. Davido989
          12 years, 1 month ago

          I think Lukaku could score great this week but for me, Baines is the better option

    2. rickardinho
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I was thinking the same, and could have afforded it, but I chose Ulloa or the price rise and better stats

  17. Cahill
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Hey guys, 2FT, 0.2 in bank

    DeGea McCarthy
    Moreno clyne Wilson duff Moore
    DiMaria sterling fabregas Siggy Boyd
    Aguero Costa Welbeck

    Thoughts??

    Thinking DeGea -> Forster?

    1. MS
      12 years, 1 month ago

      DDG-Forster, upgtade one of the cheap DEFs.

  18. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Arsenal v Spurs is usually a goal fest isn't it? Worth keeping Ade one more week?

    1. Cahill
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I'd prob ship now

    2. XhakaCan
      12 years, 1 month ago

      He could score, or get sent off, or both 🙂

      I think his team looks great for this gameweek

    Wenger expects Walcott back in full training after next international break (GW8)
    http://t.co/u4G9C2OW6n

    Wenger is a troll. Walcott is already back in training, he just doesn't want him to be called up by England!

    1. Mavric Marco
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I'll be putting him in on the 18th vs Hull at home 🙂

  21. Patty
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Best 4.5 defender?

    1. Mavric Marco
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Chambers

    2. MS
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Chambers at the exact price but there are cheaper options like Hutton, Duff, Wisdom etc.

      1. Mavric Marco
        12 years, 1 month ago

        I have them all :'-)

    Every 2 years Chelsea have a massive win over Villa,
    2010 Chelsea v Villa 7-1
    2012 Chelsea v Villa 8-0
    2014 Chelsea v Villa….?

    1. Davido989
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I'd take 1-0 Villa but I think 4-0 Chelsea.

      1. Mavric Marco
        12 years, 1 month ago

        In that 7-1 game i remember Fat Frank scoring 4!! Imagine Costa Capt scoring 4..!? 😯

    2. The Light Knight

      What about 08, 06, 04, 02???

    3. Mr Smith

      0-1 😥

  23. Costa Nostra

    Caulker out for Clyne -4 or wait and watch Clyne's price rise up and Caulker's price drop down?

    1. piquiblanco
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, wait and watch.

    2. MS
      12 years, 1 month ago

    Oh the wonderful world of FPL. Last season I spent so many weeks telling myself that Ramsey would stop scoring and refused to get him, and this year may be the opposite.

    I was right in doing Falcao and Chadli to ADM and Welbeck for a -4 wasn't I?
