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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      great move

      1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya

        but tadic isnt very good, no? 😉

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

      yes

    2. Hy liverpool

      Yes 100%

  4. crteer
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months 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
      11 years, 4 months ago

      B
      Think about roo→ valencia

    2. rickardinho
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months 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
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        And they've still got some good fixtures ahead!

      2. Don Look Back in Wenger
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months 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

        concur

    3. Perthite
      • 15 Years

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

    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_
        11 years, 4 months 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

      • Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months 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.

    2. Fiona B
      • 11 Years

      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
        11 years, 4 months 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
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

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

        I also guess they already have pelle

        I

          11 years, 4 months 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
        11 years, 4 months 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
        11 years, 4 months 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
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks for the replies fellow dz'ers.

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

    3. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months 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
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months 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
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months 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

        Karma for posting fake overbudget teams during preseason.

        1. OPTA FPL
          • 14 Years

          lol

      4. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

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

        1. rickardinho
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

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

          1. fedolefan
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 4 months 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
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months 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
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 months 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
            11 years, 4 months ago

            So they got Lescott then? Lol

    4. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months 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
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months 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?

    5. toluthadon

      Ramsey to

            • 12 Years

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

            1. toluthadon
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 4 months ago

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

      2. rickardinho
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

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

        1. toluthadon

      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
        • 11 Years

        How has Eric Died lost his place?

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

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

    8. White Hart Kane
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

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

      1. syke63
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

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

    9. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months 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
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Pelle

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

      2. crteer
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Pelle, surely.

      3. syke63
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Pelle. The rest of the questions sound like school.

      4. Kane Toads
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Pelle for me - more certainty of starts and points.

      5. Connor's Calling
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months 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
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Great stats don't always translate into stats. 😆

        2. rickardinho
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 4 months 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
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 4 months 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
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months 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
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 4 months 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
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

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

    10. Hyperion
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Pick your favourite:

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

        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months 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?

    11. Mancunian

      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?

    12. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months 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

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

          1. Hyperion
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 4 months 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!

        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.

      Begovic

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

      1. rickardinho
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months 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

      Double CS sends me up 125k yesterday 😀

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

        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. 😎

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

      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 🙂

      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
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months 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 🙂

      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!

        Want Baines from GW8 only way I can think of is Fab >Downing or Tadic (don't want to touch my front 3)

        Is Baines worth losing Fab over ?

        Rooney->Pelle

        southampton heavy but like how they look so far

        naismith is a pain in my ass however and am not sure if I should take a -4 to ship him out with the midweek game he'll play in

        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago
