Gameweek 6 concludes this evening with a Monday night battle at The Britannia. Mark Hughes’ side have yet to either score or pick up a point at home this season after losing both their opening fixtures in front of the Potters supporters – form in stark contrast to last season’s, where they lost at home on just three occasions.

Hughes’ troops will be buoyed by their visitors’ league displays. Newcastle have drawn blanks in both their road trips, though a midweek cup win at Hull, where new boy Emmanuel Riviere notched twice, will boost their confidence.

Mark Hughes makes just a single alteration from the side that drew against QPR last weekend, bringing in Mark Muniesa for Erik Pieters at left-back after the former notched twice in a cup win at Sunderland. Further up the field, Victor Moses, Charlie Adam and Mame Biram Diouf line up behind lone striker Peter Crouch.

For the Magpies, Tim Krul, Yoan Gouffran and Papiss Cisse recover from illness, though the latter continues on the bench as he’s eased back into action following a long-term knee injury. Daryl Janmaat and Cheick Tiote also retain their starting berths after overcoming knocks sustained in last week’s home draw with Hull.

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

    That ball from Muniesa

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      if he holds down a spot, I may look at him in Jan, seems to have decent attacking threat for 4.5

      1. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Were his goals the other day from corners?

      2. Saint Steve-O (@EliteFPL)
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I've just looked at his price, 4.4

        1. chrisjdgrady
          • 12 Years

    Hulk my previous price related post due to the new page. There was interesting discussion let us continue on it

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Price changes should be random. That'd throw a spanner in the works.

    2. Sess!

      Never ask for your own post to be hulked.

    Is Tadic too much SoT if I already own Pelle and Clyne..?

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No.

    2. Wax

      1. super zlatan
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Nope. Tadic is a great option.

    5. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I am going to sell him for downing this week. I think dowing is better value and likely to get more points in the next two at least.

  7. DuckduckD
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Mannone
    Moore Taylor Rafael Bertrand (duff)
    Siggurdson Sterling Di Maria ( Sanchez Quinn)
    Dzeko Lukaku Costa

    *Should i play Sanchez (CHE) or Moore (BUR)

    1. johnbarnes
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez

  8. PogChamp
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Any FF superstitions? I don't like refreshing after the CS points are added.

    1. VougieDipond
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      never buy Aguero/Lukaku

      1. CTID_
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        'never buy Aguero' He has the best goal per minute record the BPL has ever seen.He also bagged me a decent 16 points this week

    2. Podge
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I know the universe doesn't consider me relevant 🙁

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Same.

    4. Saint Steve-O (@EliteFPL)
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Give or take, no matter who the team/player is, i want as many 'last' game players possible

    5. BRONALDINHO
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I really try to not look at my points between minutes 60 till the end of the game. I hate to get disappointed after someone takes a CS away from me.

  9. super zlatan
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Rooney and Rambo owner here.

    To avoid a hit would it make sense to do

    Rooney > falcao

    And bench Rambo for a week?

    Means I would be playing 4 defenders

    Clyne. Terry. Moore. PvA

    1. LewanGOALski
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I was leaning towards this, but as he's predicted to be out for month or even more, I thini I am gonna take my first hit this season...

    2. VougieDipond
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      i wouldn't get Falcao. there is nothing to back up up the outlay. Rambo out for 6 weeks.

      1. super zlatan
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Ahh ok. Cheers. Guess I am taking an 8 point hit then.

        Terry, Rambo , Rooney > naylor , ADM, aguero

        1. VougieDipond
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          what about Tadic and Aguero for Rambo rooney?

          1. super zlatan
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            Already have 3 saints.

    3. Total Foot 5
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      thats exactly what im doing. bte ive done that to play 4 at bak twice already and have gotten 2 cs from duff and wisdom

    4. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      both are out for a month

      I'd just to take the hit before Rambo starts dropping

      1. super zlatan
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Thoughts on my -8 JK?

        See above

        1. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          if the Terry bit is needed fair enough, but Naylor has tough fixtures around the corner

          1. super zlatan
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            Terry is needed to fund the other trades.

            1. JK - Cønt ⭐
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 2 months ago

              what's the full team. Looks good in principle

              1. super zlatan
                • 14 Years
                11 years, 2 months ago

                Team is

                Forster. Elliott
                Terry. Clyne. PvA. Wisdom. Moore
                Ramsey. Fab. Sterling. Siggy. Marney
                Rooney. Costa. Pelle

                1. super zlatan
                  • 14 Years
                  11 years, 2 months ago

                  0.8 in bank

                2. JK - Cønt ⭐
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 14 Years
                  11 years, 2 months ago

                  Then I approve, unless you fancy Tadic and keeping JT

                  1. super zlatan
                    • 14 Years
                    11 years, 2 months ago

                    Already have 3 saints. Clyne. Forster. Pelle

    5. RabMac
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I would take the -4 to avoid price drop.

    6. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Falcao over Kun?

      1. super zlatan
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Don't have the coin to do Rooney > kun in one trade.

    7. Podge
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Nah his price will plummet

    8. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I will, though who knows whether that's the best way

    9. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Hit and take them both out its the right thing to do in my eyes.

  10. VougieDipond
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Doesn't that ref need to be in bed early for school tomorrow

      1. Think Tank
        • 11 Years

      1. Think Tank
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Eve fixtures look great, hence Lukaku.

    6. Epic Fail

      5

      1. Think Tank
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Option 2 out of the ones you have listed.

        Ulloa has a good run of fixtures too.

      2. Total Foot 5
        • 12 Years

        u trust naismith going forward? im leaning option 2

  12. Back on the horse

    11 years, 2 months ago

    Has Coloccini scored yet?

    1. RabMac
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No goals and no assists this season.

      1. Back on the horse
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        What? why the hell is he in my team then?

    2. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      You've had Berahino, that's enough for one week

  13. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Tiote on set pieces 😆

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Essential 😉

  14. emperikal
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Please don't come on Pieters!

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      i doubt hell bring on a defender

    2. Wax
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Probably wont.

  15. PGR
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Ramsey to Mata too short term?
    Will need to dump Mata again in 3 weeks time when Rooney's back.

    1. Podge
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Walcott might be back by then

    2. LewanGOALski
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      could be a right time to do Mata > Walcott, when Arsenal faces Burnley at home in GW10 😎

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

      make moves that would work long-term. you have so many good options why waste it on a short-term punt

      1. PGR
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        No midfielder really tempts me though. Who would you suggest?
        Currently have Sterling, Fabregas and Siggy.

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

          if you want a short-term move, get downing. amazing next 2 games, and if you have other transfer business thats more urgent in 3gw's time you can always bench him, unlike Mata

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

            check out Moses as well. He's looked really lively tonight

            1. PGR
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 2 months ago

              Cheers man!!
              Although I'm never getting Moses again. He's burned me far too many times!

    4. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yes and no guarantee that Mata will walk back into the side even with Rooney out. I get the impression LVG doesn't rate him.

  16. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    How is that not a yellow card?

  17. VagnerLove
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Hutton or Duff to Baines?

    1. Think Tank
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I'd get rid of Duff - AVL are almost through their tough fixtures.

    2. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Duff, Villa will be tight again after their horrible run ends.

    3. Podge
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Hutton

    4. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Duff.....I swapped out Hutton for duff on WC last week. Regret it for the long term.

  18. SuperMario
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Diouf & Ramsey ----> Sakho & ADM

    or

    Diouf & Ramsey ----> Ulloa/Dzeko & Downing and bank the rest to fund Aguero

  19. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Give yellow to Williamson !!!!

  20. RabMac
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Haha, Rangers are getting pumped.

  21. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I am tempted to play Foster (liv) over Krul (swa) next week...

    1. Sunny 😎
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I'm tempted to play Hamer over Krul next week 😕

    2. Theatre_Of_Screams
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Seems fair. They will probably both concede to be honest but i think West Brom are much more likely to keep a clean sheet than Newcastle.

  22. PGR
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Stoke dominated QPR last weekend and all they got out of it was a point.

    Today they've struck the crossbar and had a clear penalty turned down. Would suck for them if they fail once again to get 3 points.

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

      Thats what you get when you have Crouch finishing your chances off

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

    Any chance Begovic gets BPS points if he keeps a cleanie? Or do most points go to the CB's and Crouch/Moses?

    1. PGR
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Goalkeepers very rarely get baps in this new system

  24. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Stoke have been surprisingly entertaining

  25. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Silva
    or
    ADM
    or
    Downing

    ??

    whoever I go for, he'll most likely become Walcott in GW10...

    1. rickardinho
