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.

    Ramsey to Tadic done 😯

    1. rickardinho
      12 years, 28 days ago

      great move

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

        but tadic isnt very good, no? 😉

        1. rickardinho
          12 years, 28 days ago

          haha, no, should have picked downing 😛

    2. Hy liverpool

      Great

    3. IL Fantasista

      Same here

  3. Is Enner Valencia nailed on? Just making sure. Thanks!

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

      yes

    2. Hy liverpool
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Yes 100%

  4. crteer
    12 years, 28 days ago

    A) Rooney & Moreno > Aguero & Wisdom
    B) Rooney & Pelle > Ulloa & Sturridge -- (I know, Pelle is in form and great fixtures after this game week)
    C) Other?

    All of this is for no hit.

    1. Hy liverpool
      12 years, 28 days ago

      B
      Think about roo→ valencia

    2. rickardinho
      12 years, 28 days ago

      dont ditch moreno yet. He's basically a winger and his stats are the best attacking stats from a fullback who isn't baines or ivan 😉

      1. Test Eagles
        12 years, 28 days ago

        And they've still got some good fixtures ahead!

      2. Don Look Back in Wenger
        12 years, 28 days ago

        i wouldve keep moreno, but i did

        Moreno ->wilson
        naismith -> pelle

        for 2FT

        works wonders for me this week , that said, hoping for sterling+ balo to do the wonders in their upcoming matches instead

      3. Wave of Mutilation
        12 years, 28 days ago

        concur

    3. Perthite
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Just remember Wisdom can't play v Liverpool due to loan deal.

  5. Piggs Boson
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Keep Fabregas or Di Maria?
    http://i.imgur.com/EmQm18r.gif

    If I keep both I'd have to downgrade Rooney rather than getting Kun/Sturridge.

    1. Jay_
      12 years, 28 days ago

      That's how I feel about 2 woman atm 😀 and also have the same problem if I want Baines from GW8, one of them has to go

    2. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Fabregas...Di Maria was unlucky not to score yesterday.

      Di Maria and Fabregas are both creators, they've both created quite a few chances while on the pitch.
      Difference is, Di Maria takes way more shots and is much more of a goal threat.

  6. Fiona B
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Can you lovely people explain the current Tadic love fest, his current scores aren't anything to write home about. Anything I'm missing?

    1. BeachBadger
      12 years, 28 days ago

      He's actually playing really well and should be getting more points and has great fixtures and is cheap. He's also on penalties

    2. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 28 days ago

      I guess they need a MF that has nice fixtures and decent stats

      I also guess they already have pelle

      I

    3. IL Fantasista
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Members shoud do a better job explaining here.

      1. IL Fantasista

        *should

    4. rickardinho
      12 years, 28 days ago

      If you were a member you would understand bro

      1. rickardinho
        12 years, 28 days ago

        *nose up* 😛

        essentially he has good stats and has been really unlucky not to get double the points he has

    5. syke63
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Hit the woodwork twice this weekend and the inclusion of Mane should help him also = lovefest. But it's a secret cos he's 2.5 % ownership.

    6. Tabone
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Great player, i think he is worth more than the current price he is at, and will be getting points soon

    7. Fiona B
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Thanks for the replies fellow dz'ers.

      I did Ramsey -} ADM last night, thinking I should have gone Tadic now.

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

    No matter how much money sve up always seem to be .1 short

    planning rooney to sturridge then next week Moreno toBaines
    Guess what .1 short despite a team value of 103.2

    1. rickardinho
      12 years, 28 days ago

      same here. will be 0.3 short to do ulloa>sturridge, and only yesterday i was struggling to even find use for my saved money

    2. A.T
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Makes me laugh when people say money doesn't mean as much this year. It does if you haven't got it.

    3. pundit of punts
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Karma for posting fake overbudget teams during preseason.

      1. OPTA FPL
        12 years, 28 days ago

        lol

    4. fedolefan
      12 years, 28 days ago

      This. I'm 0.1m short of doing Siggy and Baird to Downing and Baines.

      1. rickardinho
        12 years, 28 days ago

        you shouldn't be getting rid of Siggy so thats probably a blessing in disguise for you

        1. fedolefan
          12 years, 28 days ago

          Three consecutive returns of 2 2 and 3 hardly suggest it. Not saying he won't/can't score a ton in the coming week, but at the moment Siggy Downing appears to be a sideways move, however, one which can significantly improve my team by getting Baines.

    5. Amateur Pundit Zan
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Just read your last couple of blog entries.

      😆 at the copycats you are getting. Wish I had thought of that, would be 2.3m and about 40 pts better off. Though really what is the point of playing

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

        I know, there were six of them on identical scoresto me with identical transfers, had to try and throw them off, now they leading me 🙂 they will have to think for themselves now

        1. BeachBadger
          12 years, 28 days ago

          So they got Lescott then? Lol

  8. Puyol Pants Up
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Time to use my WC?

    DDG/Gilks
    Cahill/Duff/Dummet/Clyne/Chester
    Siggy/Ramsey/Sterling/ADM/Marney
    Pelle/Rooney/Costa

    0.0itb

    Bad keeper. Only 3 nailed defenders with Cahill's value rapidly dropping. Ramsey And Rooney out. Not sure what to do from here, bad fixtures for my three nailed defenders as well (Arsenal, Leicester and Spurs) Marney also injured just to rub salt in the wounds
    Rooney is also about to drop and I don't like making my transfer early to get in Aguero before UCL fixtures

    1. Wave of Mutilation
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Consider holding until the int'l break. Defense is acceptable for GW7, and a simple Rooney > Ulloa/Sakho should tide you over for the week. Or Ramsey > Fab/Haz for a hit?

  9. toluthadon
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Ramsey to
    A) Gerrard
    B) silva
    C) downing
    D) Mata

    1. Hy liverpool
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Frontline?

      1. toluthadon
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Aguero, Costa, vardy

        1. Hy liverpool
          12 years, 28 days ago

          Tadic or downing imo
          Tadic for long term
          Downing next 2 weeks qpr H Burnley A

          1. toluthadon
            12 years, 28 days ago

            Yeah thanks have Tadic. Might go downing/gerrard. Want to sleep on it but will probably lose 0.1

    2. rickardinho
      12 years, 28 days ago

      I just did Ramsey>Downing, after going through every single option for the last 24 hours.

      1. toluthadon
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Interesting, thanks. It's a tough one :-/

  10. Test Eagles
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Eric Dier has lost his spot now right? If so this is unfortunate as Spurs welcome a potential clean sheet opportunity this week.

    1. leonoflondon
      12 years, 28 days ago

      How has Eric Died lost his place?

  11. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Any news? Saw something like something regarding Sakho popped up.....

    Cheers 🙂

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Dammit......mmm...Cheers!

        Was going to bring him in...does this look like it'll go through?

  12. White Hart Kane
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Thoughts on Mane as an FPL pick? About to go through with Rooney, Ramsey -> Aguero, Mane

    1. syke63
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Mane is a good pick but Kun could pull something falling over his laces during the week.

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

    Let me ask this....

    If you only can pick one, who is the best overall value to have taking into consideration points, position value and durability/position safety. And why.

    Tadic or Pelle?

    1. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Pelle

      He is Southampton's main forward, he will score majority of their goals. Tadic will not.

    2. crteer
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Pelle, surely.

    3. syke63
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Pelle. The rest of the questions sound like school.

    4. Kane Toads
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Pelle for me - more certainty of starts and points.

    5. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 28 days ago

      I've got the same dilemma. Think i/m going to go Pelle. Up front on his own. clearly knows how to score and should get chances given Tadic, Mane behind him. Tadic's stats look great but as we know that doesn't always translate into stats.

      + Pelle touches in the box seem very good

      my dilemma is Pelle & ADM vs. Tadic & Falcao. think i'm going former for now

      1. Hyperion
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Great stats don't always translate into stats. 😆

      2. rickardinho
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Falcao had ZERO touches in the box at home against West Ham. Tells you all you need to know.

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

        I have Costa, Falcao and Ulloa currently so obviously I'd drop Ulloa if I brought in Pelle. But I think Ulloa will and can score as many goals for less money, so it's not worth it currently IMO.

        Mids I have Sterling, ADM, Fab and Siggy, so selling Siggy for Tadic makes the most sense to me.

        I have Bertrand as well as 3.1m in bank. Decisions decisions......

    6. rickardinho
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Pelle if you have to choose, but I see no reason not to have both unless you've doubled up in defense. As far as I'm concerned both Pelle and Tadic are underpriced big-hitters.

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

        I get what your saying...just trying to decide what makes the most sense for my team. I don't think I'll be happy with a front line of Costa Pelle Ulloa though. I need a couple really big hitters and then either Pelle or Ulloa. It's not worth a hit to change 2 forwards currently. I have plenty of faith that Falcao will come good. One game worth of bad stats doesn't make a season. He will score in bunches shortly.

    7. Don Look Back in Wenger
      12 years, 28 days ago

      remember, all those opinions u get here will change once Tadic do converts all his penalties and the supposedly goal woodwork

  14. Hyperion
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Pick your favourite:

    A) Aguero + Tadic + 0.1 ITB
    B) Aguero + Downing + 2.0 ITB
    C) Pellé + Fabregas + 2.4 ITB

    1. OPTA FPL
      12 years, 28 days ago

      c

    2. Hy liverpool

    4. Jay Jay Okocha
      12 years, 28 days ago

      A by a mile

    5. Hyperion
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Thanks for the responses guys - forgot to mention A will require a hit this week so I don't get priced out and lead to a Chadli/Siggy/Ulloa benching. Still A?

  15. Mancunian
    12 years, 28 days ago

    MANCUNIAN
    2 FTs

    1) Rooney > Dzeko - Hutton > Virigi (sunderland)

    2) Rooney > Ulloa - Hutton > Zabaleta

    3) Rooney Lukaku - 4.0 keeper > Mannone (My other keeper is Foster)

    What's the better option or any other tips?

  16. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Do I take a 4 point hit to do Caulker--->Bertrand this week, so I can gain some rises?

    I mean it might be worth to wait and not take the hit since Southampton have Tottenham away this week, but I will most definitely be doing it for a hit Next week anyway. So might as well catch the rises?

    Also:

    Naismith---->

    A) Pelle - With potential swtich to Welbeck later..probs not
    B) Welbeck
    C) Sakho - 1 GW punt - QPR
    D) E. Valenica - ^^

    1. crteer
      12 years, 28 days ago

      D if anything, Sakho may have a potential ban.

    2. OPTA FPL

      A

    3. Arvin-ation

        Thanks all 🙂

  17. Jay Jay Okocha
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Can't believe I dumped Wisdom for Duff on my WC. Shocking decision in retrospect.

    1. OPTA FPL
      12 years, 28 days ago

      lol

    2. Hyperion
      12 years, 28 days ago

      It's only one game.

      1. Jay Jay Okocha
        12 years, 28 days ago

        The worst part is that I have Boyd too, so I'm stuck with two freakin Burnley players until January. Ha

        1. Hyperion
          12 years, 28 days ago

          Boyd is good bench fodder though. At least you don't have the dilemma of who to bench from Ulloa, Chadli and Siggy like I do!

    3. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 28 days ago

      it's one week. i'm sure it'll be fine + not make any diff longer term

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

      That's a rough one. I wouldn't want any Burnley players on my team at all for the next few weeks!

  18. Del Monte
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 28 days ago

    How will Arsenal line up when Walcott returns?

    Ramsey----Arteta

    Walcott-----Ozil-----Sanchez

    Giroud/Welbeck

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

      something like this yeah

    2. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Looks like you've got it.

    3. rickardinho
      12 years, 28 days ago

      I can see myself doing Downing/Tadic > Walcott around GW12. He'll probably be rotated with Sanchez but then its just a case of having a decent first sub.

    4. Test Eagles
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Looks very strong!

  19. Tabone
    12 years, 28 days ago

    cant really think of who to trade or field this week.. use a transfer or save?

    Begovic

    Azpilicueta Lovren Clyne

    Dimaria Silva Fabregas Sterling Sigurdsonn

    Pelle Costa

    ((Krul, Ulluoa, Hutton and Wisdom)) .2 itb

  20. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 28 days ago

    rooney or rambo to drop tonight based on what we know?

    1. rickardinho
      12 years, 28 days ago

      hard to predict but i'd say yes. the highest transfers out usually drop after 1-2 days, and this is the 2nd day since their firesales started

  21. Billy Gilmore
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Double CS sends me up 125k yesterday 😀

    Hopefully a stoke CS sends me back into the top 100k

    1. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Foster and Wisdom? Nice. Duff did me no favours with a big fat zero.

      Wisdom cleanie cracked me into 1.1m...just outside 1m now. 😎

      1. Billy Gilmore
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Yep. Up to 49 for the week with Wilson to come. Identical game to last night's would be delightful.

    12 years, 28 days ago

    Just confirmed Ramsey>Downing.

    Looking forward to the West Ham-QPR game now, as well as watching Downing swing corners in at Turf Moor after they conceded twice from corners today 🙂

  23. Clintymints
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Too early to consider Sturridge!?

    He will probably drop before Saturday but Rooney will definitely drop tonight or tomorrow so losing .1 either way..

    Have Moreno and Sterling so might not be wise to triple Pool but the fixtures are not too bad... Falcao or Sturridge :\

    1. rickardinho
      12 years, 28 days ago

      I'm planning on getting Sturridge in GW8 or GW9 for Ulloa if I have the cash. There's a 0.3 difference so really hoping that Sturridge drops and Ulloa rises 0.2 by then 🙂

  24. Test Eagles
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Siggy could be a good option for the armband this week, at home to Newcastle.

    if they start with 2 strikers he heads to the flank, but still think he'll serve up some candy!
