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

    If Sterling plays 90 midweek will that put people of captaining him?

    1. Declan
      12 years, 28 days ago

      He's not a (C) option imo.

    2. Davido989
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Costa (C) regardless. Arsenal have a broken midfield. Chelsea will boss and dictate the game. Cesc will feed Costa for fun.

      1. rickardinho
        12 years, 28 days ago

        This

      2. The Chosen One...
        12 years, 28 days ago

        What if Costa plays 90 midweek?

        1. Walsh
          12 years, 28 days ago

          He won't.

        2. Davido989
          12 years, 28 days ago

          He won't

      3. SW6
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Agree with this. Could well be a rout and a nice differential captain.

      4. Judas
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Nope, Aguero captain.

    3. The Hound
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Yes, although I think he may get a rest midweek and am thinking about getting rid in ufpl.

  2. PogChamp
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Coverage maybe overrated but OMG, look at those City fixtures coming up. Easy stuff all the way to January.

    Already have Silva and Kompany but not sure I have the right 2 players.

    1. Davido989
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Aguero is that guy. The rest are small point scores.

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

        Hopefully Pellegrini avoids playing him in the back-to-back Basel games, could really do with a captain differential over Costa in GW9 & GW11.

        1. pundit of punts
          12 years, 28 days ago

          Basel? 😛

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

            *CSKA Moscow

    2. Judas
      12 years, 28 days ago

      a defender could come in handy I agree

      1. PogChamp
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Agreed. Think they will tighten up soon. Probably should have gone Zabs instead of Kompany though.

    3. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 28 days ago

      5 away games in the next 8 still puts me off their defence

      1. PogChamp
        12 years, 28 days ago

        All winnable but fair comment.

        1. applebonkers
          • Has Moderation Rights
          12 years, 28 days ago

          5 CS in the 13 away games against teams outside the top 7 last season for example

          1. PogChamp
            12 years, 28 days ago

            Noted.

  3. Ings on the up
    12 years, 28 days ago

    I wonder if fpl towers will let me have a 4th striker spot if I asked nicely... Maybe buy them a beer.

    Not enough room in the inn for Costs, Aguero, Pellè, Ulloa, Welbeck and maybe a fit sturridge

    1. charmed
      12 years, 28 days ago

      hahahah
      fpl tower also control player prices and bonus as they wishes ! 🙂

  4. Michael Jordan - call me MJ
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Is it a bad idea to Wildcard an already good team?

    My current rank is around 20k and there are no big problems with my time but I think to push on to the top 10k I need a bit of an overhaul especially at the back so I'm deciding if it's worth wildcarding over the international break to make some $$$ and hopefully push on up the rankings

    1. Walsh
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Stopped reading after first line.

      1. Bubz
        12 years, 28 days ago

        😆

    2. The Hound
      12 years, 28 days ago

      U won't make £££ (seriously been there) but if u need a reshuffle then go for it.

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

      Keep it.

    4. PB-THE-VET
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Very bad idea

      1. No working price rise predictor
      2. Very few .2 mil risers anyway
      3. Loosing ur wc for no points gain? Stupid

    5. Podge
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Wait for a DGW

    6. Fitzy.
      12 years, 28 days ago

      The difference between the top 10k and top 20k is about 6 or 7 points. Hardly worth a WC...

  5. BruLee
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Krul - Foster
    Cahill - Taylor - PVA - Chester - Hutton
    Hazard - Sterling - ADM - Hendo - Siggy
    Costa - Ulloa - Rooney

    a) Rooney + Henderson --> Aguero + 4.5
    b) Rooney --> Pelle

    Suggestions?

    1. Lizard Lips
      12 years, 28 days ago

      A, bring in Boyd.

  6. Leeds-Utd
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Im looking for a Midfielder around 7.4 m...for a few weeks..any ideas,would be welcome thanks.

    1. Davido989
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Mane

    2. The Hound
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Are u on waccoe?

      1. Leeds-Utd
        12 years, 28 days ago

        no sry..

    3. SW6
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Navas if you're feeling risky.

    4. Randy_Marsh
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Lampard 🙂

  7. Judas
    12 years, 28 days ago

    I have been away all weekend and have 3 questions:

    1. What are people doing with Ramsey?
    2. Are people shipping Rooney?
    3. Are people keeping or shipping Fabregas?

    1. Davido989
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Don't know, don't care
      Don't know, don't care
      WHY WOULD ANYONE GET RID OF THAT CESCY GUY

    2. Ings on the up
      12 years, 28 days ago

      That's this weeks problem, nice summarised in a question.

      Fwiw,
      1 became di Maria
      2 became Aguero
      3 keep - bigger fish to fry

      1. Judas
        12 years, 28 days ago

        got di maria and aguero 🙂

    3. SW6
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Sold
      Sold
      Don't have but would keep

    4. Hibbo

      Where were you at the weekend?

      1. Judas
        12 years, 28 days ago

        My girlfriends place. Dont you worry I kept well up to date with the football but havent been on here at allreally

  8. Damo.

    I've wasted hrs off my life not look at the Steve Bruce at weddings twitter handle. Comedy Gold

    1. Judas

      sorry what?

    2. applebonkers

      it's ridiculous, but still enjoy seeing them retweeted. the shelf-life will surely be terrible though

  9. Davido989
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Forster
    Ivanovic Clyne Shawcross Moore Hutton
    Tadic Sterling Siggy Fabregas Boyd
    Balotelli Costa Ulloa

    2 FT. 3.1 ITB. Hit me up. 😎 😎

    1. Walsh
      12 years, 28 days ago

      a/s/l?

      1. Davido989
        12 years, 28 days ago

        eh?

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 28 days ago

      I'd actually be tempted to let that transfer go

      1. Davido989
        12 years, 28 days ago

        It'd be the second week in a row without doing a transfer

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

      Balotelli to Aguero.

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 28 days ago

        or this

      2. Davido989
        12 years, 28 days ago

        feeling this myself

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

          Must've very been frustrating to watch Balotelli yesterday, abysmal finishing, free-kicks not much better.

          1. Davido989
            12 years, 28 days ago

            Disappointed with his movement up front. Looked a better prospect with Studge next to him

      3. Randy_Marsh
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Yep

      4. SW6
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Not this week imo. I'd sell Shawcross

        1. Davido989
          12 years, 28 days ago

          To who?

          1. SW6
            12 years, 28 days ago

            Not sure. A City defender maybe.

            1. Davido989
              12 years, 28 days ago

              Meh. Wanted to downgrade ideally. Planning to bring Benteke in, in a few weeks.

    4. pundit of punts
      12 years, 28 days ago

      ShawX>Naylor

    5. Call Me Old Fashioned
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Shawcross or Balo out I guess.

      That midfield is perfect no work needed there

  10. Schwarzer
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Are Roo and Ramsey likely to drop today?
    Are Aguero and Tadic likely to rise?

    Price rise sites aren't loading properly on my phone.

    Cheers!

  11. Bubz
    12 years, 28 days ago

    I'm captaining Costa this week for sure. I will not be trolled by the man again. However, the scene is definitely set for him to blank now that I've brought him back in for -4 and making him captain.

    1. Davido989
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Can you take him out for a -8? Cheers Bubz.

      1. Bubz
        12 years, 28 days ago

        😀

  12. _Ninja_
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Best move this week everyone?

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

    1 FT, £0.5m in the bank. Cheers

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

    1. Randy_Marsh
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Favourite goal of the weekend?

      I'm going for Austin, he ruined my CS but it was so worth it.

      1. Randy_Marsh
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Oops

  13. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Why are people buying Mata? Why do they want a player who's out of favour and will play only if someone gets injured/suspended? Why do they want a player for only three games?

  14. CCaddy
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Rooney and Ramsey to dzeko and tadic with 3.5 mil

    1. PB-THE-VET
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Aguero for christ sake!!!!!

      Not dzeko.

      1. CCaddy
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Is aguero worth 3.7 more than dzeko though?

  15. RD84
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Is Wilson expected to play this week? WOuld be nice to get Naylor in off the bench.

  16. kinglourenco
    12 years, 28 days ago

    AB which option would you pick for replacing rooney and ramsey?

    A) aguero + tadic

    B) pelle + adm (leaves 2mil in the bank)

    1. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 28 days ago

      A, but that depends on so many things, including how much aguero plays in midweek for example

  17. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 28 days ago

    First MNF after internationals?

    QPR v Villa

    Benteke anyone?

    1. Declan
      12 years, 28 days ago

      If only it was that easy.

    2. Davido989

    4. SW6

      Hutton(c)

    5. Bubz
      12 years, 28 days ago

      I imagine it will be a loooong time before he's back to being the old Benteke again, if at all.

  18. crteer
    12 years, 28 days ago

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

    0.3 ITB, 2 FT

    Any ideas gents?

    1. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Rooney out obviously, but for whom is the question?!
      I'm in the same boat in that I have 2FT and can't quite find an obvious one...

      1. PB-THE-VET
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Moreno to wisdom rooney to aguero

        Need a -4 to fund it tho

    Evening all. Berahino bandwagon in flow?

    1. applebonkers

      12 years, 28 days ago

      not really, but someone did ask if berahino and dorrans was too much straight after kickoff. was knee-jerk gold

        If I am working a Saturday night football on the radio and fantasy football makes it almost bareable

  21. CCaddy
    12 years, 28 days ago

    A) dzeko

    B) pelle

  22. Mancunian
    12 years, 28 days ago

    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?

  23. Randy_Marsh

    Favourite goal of the weekend?

    I'm going for Austin, he ruined my CS but it was so worth it.

    1. Davido989
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Austin, Jags, Pelle.

    2. Declan
      12 years, 28 days ago

      OX, that Welbeck dummy was sublime 😎

      1. Randy_Marsh
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Another assist missed :-/

    3. TheSteel
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Well taken. But Pellé for me

    4. Bubz

      Jagielka

    5. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Austin for me too. I don't have Soton defence and it ruined so many CSs. 🙂

      1. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Oh, and Jagielka's. That was supperb.

    6. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Dzeko's first.

  24. Judas
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Ramsey ---> Silva?

    1. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Why not?!

    2. Bubz
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Not a fan personally. He doesn't shoot nearly often enough for his price tag imo.

    3. Judas
      12 years, 28 days ago

      already have aguero

      cant quite afford Fabregas, Ozil not in form, Mata not playing, Cant get Tadic as I already have 3 SOU players.

      Who else?

    4. Randy_Marsh
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Prefer Tadic if I could get rid of my double saints defence to acquire

      1. Judas
        12 years, 28 days ago

        yes same. but I want to keep my double defence. rather that than tadic

      Meh

  25. JoeJitzu +42
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Have 2FT and want to use one, what to do?

    Krul (swa)
    Clyne (tott) Ivanovic (ARS) Wilson (sun)
    ADM (EVE) Sterling (WBA) Siggy (NEW) Tadic (tott) Fabregas (ARS)
    Costa (ARS) Adebayor (SOU)

    4m Duff (lei) Naismith (mu) Hutton (MC)

    ITB 1.4m

    1. Davido989
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Adebayor to Pelle, Naismith to Ulloa.

      1. JoeJitzu +42
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Thanks, just think Ade at home is a better option than Pelle this week only?!
        Ulloa is a possibility but would like a front three of Aguero, Costa and either Pelle or Welbeck

  26. Brutus619
    12 years, 28 days ago

    Ramsey out for:

    A. Chadli

    B. Downing

    C. Silva

    Please look at their respective fixtures.

    1. Davido989
      12 years, 28 days ago

      Silva but he's frustrating

      1. Brutus619
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Yeah he is. Had 3 tough games so far and with Dzeko & Aguero on form, I can see him picking up a fair few assists just like Fabregas has been doing.

    2. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
      12 years, 28 days ago

      How about Cazorla?

      1. Brutus619
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Decent shout but my plan is to get Walcott once he's fit. Wouldn't like to do sideways move of Cazorla to Walcott.

    3. Judas
      12 years, 28 days ago

      im thinking silva

      1. Brutus619
        12 years, 28 days ago

        Cheers, just made the transfer to Silva now.

    - Moreno - Clyne - Duff -
    - Sterling - DiMaria -Siggy -Tadic -
    - Aguero - Costa - Ulloa -

    Subs: Elliot - Colocinni - Marney - Wisdom

    Have 2.5mil in d bank for Colocinni > Baines next week,
    worth doing it this week for a hit??

    1. Davido989
      12 years, 28 days ago

      DDG Moreno Colo are concerns. Don't do it this week.

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

        I hate Moreno... can't drop him with Liverpools fixtures tho. DDG is overdue a transfer out alright.
