Our first members article of the week delves into the data of the nine matches played out so far. A number of forwards come under assessment this evening, with Liverpool, United and West Ham’s new frontmen all analysed, whilst we also take a look at City’s resurgent Bosnian, Chelsea’s midfield and Swansea’s worrying lack of impact in the final third.

    Worth getting Mane in if you already have Pelle? Thinking getting in Chadli atm..

    1. PogChamp
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Pelle/Chadli is the better option.

      1. Sz21
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Worth having a punt on Mané if u think so..

        Truth is no one knows the better option.
        I like the fact Mané is a bot cheaper than Tadic and looks to have a lot of potential.

        We ll know who the better option is in a few weeks..

  2. Twelve years a slave
    12 years, 28 days ago

    If the rumours about Sakho are true then Valencia could asctually be a very good punt for the next three weeks, he looks good according to the above articlee

    Maybe a little too feisty and a little too drunk after a long day of NFL watching. Ta all!

  4. Gavin - Gers in turmoil!!!
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Really struggling for a bench warmer this week.

    Sterling, Fabregas, ADM, Sigurdsson, Downing
    Costa, Aguero, Pelle

    thinking Pelle away to spurs but he's playing so well.

    1. Cheeseoid

      12 years, 28 days ago

      I think you have to be benching one of those midfielders

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Fab maybe on fixture basis. But it is a tough call

    2. syke63
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Drop Fab. He knows he wasn't good enough for Arsenal cos AW wouldn't buy him so he'll be all nervous and crying and such and will be subbed early.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Or keen to show them AW what a mistake he made! It's written in the stars already Fabregas first premier league goal is coming next weekend.

            lol was about to get all wtf in your face!

        2. syke63
          12 years, 28 days ago

          Was going to bring him in this week for Ramsey for the same reason but didn't want to encourage him.

  5. _Ninja_
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Best move this week? 1 FT, £0.5m in the bank. Cheers

    A. Naismith -> Ulloa (Bench Ramsey)?
    B. Ramsey-> 9.5m Mid (Bench Naismith)?

    Gilks / Krul
    Ivanovic / Clyne / Moore / Caulker / Duff
    Fábregas / Ramsey / Di María / Sterling / Siggy
    Costa / Pellè / Naismith

    1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Ramsey ---> Tadic imo

    2. finchie89
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Ramsey for silva and play 3-5-2, bench naismith, silva with good statistics and finally delivering fpl wise.

  6. Keno
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Ramsey---->Tadic for a 4 point hit?

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Yes

  7. Hy liverpool
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Rooney→a.valencia
    Or
    B.sakho
    For next 2 weeks?

    1. Twelve years a slave
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Be careful Google news Sakho

    2. finchie89
      12 years, 28 days ago

      rooney to dzeko/pellé or if you can afford him, aguero

  8. Diva
    12 years, 28 days ago

    I'm seeing Jedniak in a few Wildcard teams today. He was a bad FPL pick last season for anything other than 2 points off the bench. We can get that from Boyd for 4.4m this year, so why the love for the more expensive Palace player? I know he has scored two in two, but are those sorts of returns sustainable? Is he more attacking under Warnock?

    Genuinely interested in any answers as I haven't seen a Palace game this year.

    1. @BigChrisso
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Correction - last year he was a good FPL pick as he was 4.5 mil and assured of 90 mins every week

      1. Diva
        12 years, 28 days ago

        I did say the same - just in a different way! 🙂

        I'll rephrase my question:

        Last was a 4.5m option who guaranteed 90 mins and an average of about 2 points per game.*

        Now he's 4.9m and guarantee 90 minutes, but is he going to continue delivering more than 2 points or is he going to return to his usual ways?

        In essence, is he playing more attacking under Warnock?

        *from memory, not a statistical fact.

        1. @BigChrisso
          12 years, 28 days ago

          he's scored 2 goals in 6 weeks which is a bonus. On peno's so maybe could offer the odd decent return.

          If you can afford 4.9 for your 5th mid I think he's a reasonable option.

          I agree that Warnock offer Palace more attacking verve

          1. Diva
            12 years, 28 days ago

            There do seem to be more goals at both ends under Warnock! Having said that, I'm going to keep an eye on that defence as they've kept two clean sheets in the last three now (albeit against promoted teams).

            Thanks!

    2. crteer
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Pretty sure he's captain, and on penalties.

      Wouldn't suggest he is "more attacking", but seems to be getting more love through the system Warnock uses.

    3. BeachBadger
      12 years, 28 days ago

      He's on penos and Palace a bit more attacking so more likely to get said penos.

    4. Diva
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Ah penalties! Thanks guys. They'd be worth the extra .4m. And if he's attacking more too, great!

    5. nedfoo
      12 years, 28 days ago

      He is on penalties, but I'd still take Boyd for the extra cash

    6. chrisjdgrady
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Don't think he's worth it even for penos. Surely he's someone you will bench 99% of the time unless there's an emergency so you'll miss most of those penos anyways. Save .5 and get boyd imo

  9. PogChamp
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Any advice for my team?

    FMT: 3-4-3
    OR: 180k
    ITB: £6m

    Bego, Krul
    Kompany, Moreno, Clyne (Hutton, Blackett)
    Chadli, Silva, Larsson, Sterling (Siggy)
    Pelle, Sakho, Costa

    1. Twelve years a slave
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Wait until hear Sakho news

      1. Twelve years a slave
        12 years, 28 days ago

        West Ham’s Diafra Sakho may face FA charge for alleged butt on Luke Shaw

        1. PogChamp
          12 years, 28 days ago

          Yeah ive seen the rumours. Retrospective action is rarely enforced so not too concerned.

  10. Clintymints
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Alright, Rooneygate... Who do we get

    http://i.imgur.com/tnaIb8w.png

    there's the team open to suggests... thinking of Falcao in for Roon which means downgrading clyne to a 5.0 or less.... Don't wanna drop Moreno with those fixtures and not dropping Ivan...

    Thinking chambers in for Clyne?

    Dzeko is an option but not toally sold on the idea :\

    1. Twelve years a slave
      12 years, 28 days ago

      I was thinking of Falcao but the above article has put me off slightly, problem is, that as usual RVP is hogging the penalty box

      1. Clintymints
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Pelle in then?

    2. @BigChrisso
      12 years, 28 days ago

      FYI - Chambers is on 4 yellows

      1. Twelve years a slave
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Chambers a bargain until xmas wildcard/ A one match ban at some point makes little difference

        1. Clintymints
          12 years, 28 days ago

          Yeah mandatory YC per game... but 4.5 after chelski is a nice deal I think

        2. @BigChrisso
          12 years, 28 days ago

          Justr making sure all buyers read the fine print before signing on the dotted line

          I have Chambers myself and I agree with you that he's a good option until Jan WC

  11. Puyol Pants Up
    12 years, 28 days ago

    How serious is Chadli's injury? he is flagged on FPL

    1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      12 years, 28 days ago

      not too serious imo...didn't need assistance to leave the pitch when substituted...

  12. IL Fantasista

    Ramsey to

    A. Fab
    B. Silva

      Fabregas, no brainer.

    4. IL Fantasista
      12 years, 28 days ago

      I Reposted because all 3 previous answers advised going for Fab. I thought something might not be right... 😉

      1. syke63
        12 years, 28 days ago

        You need Southampton imo so D

    5. Coaly
      12 years, 28 days ago

      B

    6. IL Fantasista
      12 years, 28 days ago

      I think Fab might be the best on paper and long term option but with ramires out and UCL in the mix, Tadic might outscore him due to fixtures and justifiable stats. Silva cant string 2 matches together although i like him. Chadli is doing good but i feel he might dry up soon. Thoughts on this analysis?

  13. Puyol Pants Up
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Anyone else planning on using there WC during international break?

    1. Keno
      12 years, 28 days ago

      yes

  14. Scratch
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Can't believe i'm actually considering a Leicester forward instead of Aguero...

    1. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Do it!

  15. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Krul is definitely getting a cleanie tomorrow. Maybe even a penalty save

    1. Coaly
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Don't forget an assist, long throw out

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 28 days ago

        I could see it going in

    2. Scratch
      12 years, 28 days ago

      He'll probably go up and score from a corner too, even though they aren't chasing the game

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Not to mention 3 baps

    3. Puyol Pants Up
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Hoping for a 2-2 draw. With low ownership players scoring 😀

  16. blauriecon
    12 years, 28 days ago

    DiMaria Fabregas Ramsey Sterling Sigurdsson
    Costa Pelle Ulloa
    Ramsey to:
    A) Silva
    B) Tadic

    1. Hy liverpool
      12 years, 28 days ago

      B

  17. Puyol Pants Up
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Who to get for Ramsey (Cannot afford tadic)

    A. Chadli
    B. Downing
    c. Mane

    Leaning towards B. Especially since Im thinking of WC next GW and Downing has QPR at home..

    1. Hy liverpool
      12 years, 28 days ago

      B for next 2 weeks
      Qpr H bur A

    2. rickardinho
      12 years, 28 days ago

      you should look at my post history, ive discussed this loads today, including other options. Downing is my pick fwiw

  18. Willis.
    12 years, 28 days ago

    WTF. Just got Sakho in last night and now he's facing a possible ban??? Ffffffff

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 28 days ago

      I feel for you

  19. toluthadon
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Sorry if it's been asked a hundred times but does anyone reckon Ramsey will drop tonight? Cheers

  20. Twelve years a slave
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Are Rooney owners selling before the drop or waiting till saturday?
    Normally i would sell , but Sturridge or Aguero too much of a risk to bring in early this week

    1. Hy liverpool
      12 years, 28 days ago

      In this case imo wait

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Waiting here and my team value sucks.

    3. rickardinho
      12 years, 28 days ago

      I have to agree with you that Sturridge is a good replacement so if that is your aim then its probably worth the wait and probable 0.1 loss. You've built a healthy TV for this flexibility so why not take advantage of it.

      That said, my strategy will probably be to downgrade Ramsey to Downing tonight, and then use my massive cash itb to do Lovren>Baines and Ulloa>Sturridge in GW8, if I can somehow find another 0.3 before then 🙂

    4. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 28 days ago

      It looks like too much risk for 0.1 with midweek games.
      I liked your Rooney piece on the blog. Urgh, I said it.

    5. syke63
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Sold for a non CL player. Already lost .1 on him and that's enough.

    6. Diva
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Selling in a few minutes, but I'm going to bring Pelle in and leave getting Aguero for another week I think.

      1. chrrizzy
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Why get Pelle when he is playing against Tottenham away? That is if your planning on getting Aguero the following week you might as well do it now

    7. Turtlepower
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Sold for Pelle yesterday, caught 0.1 Pelle rise. My team value is about 0.5 below par for those who had already wildcarded, so will welcome the 0.1.

      Already have Aguero and no funds for Rooney - Falcao/Sturridge anyway. Pelle looking great(fixtures + form) while Falcao hasn't fired yet and Sturridge has not proven fitness.

      Have another ft in hand to sort out any injuries or last min news, else will hold it and cash in bank for international week(2 ft always nice).

  21. rickardinho
    12 years, 28 days ago

    I did some research into AR's suggestions of Ozil and Silva as replacements for Ramsey instead of Downing, and these are my conclusions:

    - Downing is a better pick statistically than Silva. He has been clearly the better pick when comparing 6 GW's, but its very even in the last two GW's, but still advantage Downing because of price.

    - Downing is clearly better than Ozil overall (6GW comparison), but Ozil has played very well in the last two GW's and would be a solid pick if he continues that form. However, Ozil has Chelsea away next and there is no indication that his form is here to stay, whereas Downing has QPR and Burnley next two, so I will side with Downing again.

    - If you ignore the Chelsea fixture Ozil seems to be a good pick though, certainly more involved in the area and attack that Silva is, at least statistically. Probably one to monitor though.

    1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      12 years, 28 days ago

      aye - £ for £ downing wins 🙂

    2. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Downing could be a great option until he remembers he is Stewart Downing

  22. crteer
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Forster / (McCarthy)
    Moreno / Clyne / Naylor / (Duff) / (Wilson)
    Fabregas / di Maria / Sterling / Siggy / (Boyd)
    Costa / Rooney / Pelle

    0.3 ITB, 2 FT.

    A) Rooney & Moreno > Aguero & Wisdom (play this now before price rises, or after mid week games?)
    B) Other - suggestions?

  23. Venom Snake
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Quick one before price changes - Ozil, Silva or Tadic?

    1. Goodnight Kiwi
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Tadic, just, due to fixtures

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Depends have you Dzeko/Aguero, Welbeck or Pele

      1. Venom Snake
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Welbeck and Aguero

    3. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Tadic!!

      1. rickardinho
        12 years, 28 days ago

        I wish you would pipe down about Tadic instead of screaming about him on every page! He's been my best kept secret and differential thus far and I'm a little annoyed he seems to have caught on somewhat

        1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
          12 years, 28 days ago

          😳 sorry mate, ill lead people away from tadic now 😉

          1. rickardinho
            12 years, 28 days ago

            no worries i was only half serious 😀

        2. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
          12 years, 28 days ago

          Not that I'm interested in Tadic, but do you think Tadic, Clyne and Forster is too much SOT?

          1. rickardinho
            12 years, 28 days ago

            not at all. i have clyne-tadic-pelle and would have more if i could. great value everywhere in that team.

    4. Hy liverpool
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Frontline?

    5. rickardinho
      12 years, 28 days ago

      See my post just above.

      I didn't include Tadic because I already have him, but he would trump pretty much every midfielder imo. Stats are incredible.

  24. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Ramsey/ Rooney .... safe from drop? I know no one knows. But best guess is NO, due to flags and extra -NTI.

    Can I go to bed, I'm locked yet again.

    1. Twelve years a slave
      12 years, 28 days ago

      They should both be safe

              Krul left at least. Doubt many have more than that so only autosubs can knock you out.

    DDG/GIlks
    Chester/Dummet/Clyne/Cahill/Duff
    ADM/Sterling/Siggy/Downing(Chadli)/Marney
    Pelle/Costa/Aguero

    If I don't WC this GW probably going to do so during Int break to fix defence. At the moment I plan to keep Downing for 1 GW
