As we brace ourselves for the second international break of the season, our Sunday members regular delves into the Gameweek 7 data. United’s record signing, City’s in-form frontman and Swansea’s resurgent striker are amongst this evening’s topics, as we also analyse the recent displays of a number of favourably priced midfielders across the last few Gameweeks.
Should i keep with Clyne and Bertrand? I feel like the one i get rid of will have 3 assists and a goal next game
Of course, they have form and fixtures.
What's with the Tadic love here?
I don't see it... Who are you fitting him in for?
Sterling Fabregas ADM Siggy?
Still not on the Fabregas-wagon and not planning to yet either... He cannot keep assisting from that deep!
Yep, he can.
Check this out:

The man is an absolute machine. Touches all over the place
He will constantly be one of the top midfielders stop denying it
fabs to tadic
not what i'm doing, but what i would do, if i wanted tadic
Jesus, really?
Transferring Chambers and Ramsey out. Who to get in?
A. Dawson and Sterling.
B. Baines and Chadli.
B. But next GW is tough on Spurs
this. If you have a good 5th mid i would bench chadli next gw. good buy though.
Thanks. Yes will be able to drop Chadli v man city. Will have Siggy, Di Maria, Hazard, Fab, Pelle, Costa, Wellbeck
who would you drop in gw9? thats 5 strong mids you got there along with 3 good fwds
Yeah, interesting choice in gw 9. I'm sure someone will have an orange flag by then.
Posted this earlier, but I think that it's worth repeating:
Di Maria's first 5 games: 43 points
Costa's first 5 games: 42 pointsDiMaria also played against burnley, QPR, leicester, WHM, and EVE. He won't get an easier run all season.
Costa played three of those teams too.
Costa also played Burnley, Leicester and Everton in his first five. Swansea at home and City away were the other two, so that's one difficult fixture for Costa (in which he blanked) vs none for Di Maria.
fair enough. Costa could have scored even more though, whereas i think ADM got abit lucky with some of his output. you can argue it both ways i guess, thats just my perception.
Sure, I agree with you on that. But I think it's worth highlighting just how exceptional ADM has been, especially when you consider how Costa's start had him universally deemed as completely essential.
He has Hull, Stork, Southampton, Liverpool, Villa, Newcastle GW 13-18 - not a bad run there either.
Only hard game is Southampton *cough*
Is this CS record for the season really terrible, or about average?
Goalkeepers: 3/7
Defenders: 7/21
Overall: 10/28I guarentee mine is worse
Looks ok tbh
Makes me feel a little bit better with my 7 CS.
1 in 3 feels about right
GK: 2/7
Def: 4/21
Overall 6/28
Not good enough.
But i do have a fair amount of attacking points from defendersI only have Clyne's points, the rest of my def's have been a letdown offensively. Baines and Ivanovic can't come in soon enough.
He just looks so good perched up there...Something about him that feels right, i hope it continues. For the record he's scored a goal every 37 minutes this season...Eat you heart out Ronaldo...
Gameweek attacking stats arranged by ICT threat

Cisse?
You got that right
Yeah...9.0 two years ago, 5.9 now...
Definitely one to keep an eye on.
I love your tables, thank you
For GW 11 on
Have you seen who had 17 touches in the penalty area?!
Yeah amazing..That's a very big number on any GW..
Last post before I hit the hay. Thinking Pieters out, but who should come in?
De Gea, Gilks
Terry, Pieters, Taylor, Hutton, Wisdom
Fabregas, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Chadli, Marney
Costa, Aguero, Pelle
1.2M ITB. 1 FT.Bertrand or City defender if you can afford.
Red arrow today. My last red arrow was before the previous international break. 2 weeks to look at it again 🙁
So my plan of going without Aguero and going for Welbeck with Ivanovic and Baines instead of Aguero and two mid priced defenders worked. One point better off. If Baines had of scored that penalty a lot more points better off.
Aguero is obviously a great player but other people are keeping up with him. Berahino and even Chadli have outscored him.
If you have him already then great but I wouldn't personally overall your squad to get him in, he is far from essential in my eyes.Others are keeping up with him but they'll fade out with form. Aguero will keep going, simple as.
Great consistency - not great value. If fit He's in.
Time will tell. I like having him in my side though and the statistics are in my favour.
Keep telling yourself that 🙂 I think he's essential. Barring injury he will be in the top 3 scoters in the game, and beautiful fixtures to boot.
He's only got the best goals per minute...
Of anyone in the premier league...
Ever.He only plays half a season, is injured for the other half. Just trying to talk myself away from him. If he keeps it up and stays fit i might have to get him in.
also he has had tough fixtures and is only now fully fit. City have had a slow start in terms of goals scored, they seem to be finding form and think Aguero is just gonna get stronger and stronger.
i am happy having him. wouldn't go without him and no one else i would want instead of him at the moment. also have costa and pelleHis injury record puts me off, i half expected him to have been injured by now anyway.
I do sound like a daft troll, he is possibly the best player in the league but i am happy to wait on him for now, a goal a game is not doing too much damage as daft as that sounds.
Bertrand, Clyne, Azpi, Shawcross, Fonte Dawson, Dann, Williams, Duff, Rose, Kabhol and Taylor are all within 4 points of Baines but I don't expect that to continue either
We need a bigger budget, problem solved!
Should I save my FT this week to go Sterling --> Chadli & Ulloa --> Welbeck next week? With Baines/Azpi coming in the following week?
I'd wait and see how Sterling does with Sturridge bacl
Anyone feeling the Lallana train?
At 7.5 yes. A bit overpriced
Could be - I wonder what effect Sturridge will have... Have sterling but that .5 would provide better defence...
Safer to avoid if the template is doing the job.
I've got Siggy, Chadli and Tadic ahead of him and happy about that
Yeah I will in the next 2 GW
There are 2 things I'm sure about, Tadić, Di Maria & Özil will get points in the next GW, but I can only afford Di Maria for a hit...How essential is he?
Essential. Do it.
But then there are City & Chelsea in the following games for Di Maria & he might not do anything then...as crazy as it sounds I'm probably going for Özil, I'd prefer Di Maria but not for a hit.
Ozil has been absolutely brutal this season. ADM could easily notch against Chelsea and City, he's in an attacking side and he's just a world class player. But fair enough on not fancying it for a hit.
Yeah but you know Özil, he's a small team bully and always gets those 90 minutes somehow.
Sakho saved my ass today. My fav Prem player at the moment. Not a WC striker by a long shot but does amazing runs and always seems to be in the right place at the right time.
Yep been impressed with him since I watched his first game this season. He's really great!
What to do with this lot??
DDG/Gilks
Chester/Cahill/Duff/Dummet/Clyne
ADM/Siggy/Sterling/Downing/Marney
Costa/Pelle/Aguero
Thinking of doing Cahill to Baines. Thoughts?
Thanks 😀
Do it if you're getting tired of points from defenders.
Now in the top 67K after getting 78 points this week...my record by far 😀
Looks like a good week to save...what do you guys think?
Lloris (Gilks)
Cahill Clyne Williams (Chester) (Dummett)
Hazard Di Maria Sterling Siggy (Cattermole)
Naismith Costa Pelle
I have 1 FT and £2.1 ITB if you're wondering.
I hate international breaks.
Which sounds better guys
A)Pelle+Moreno > Welbeck+a decent defender around 5.5
B)Falcao+Moreno > Welbeck+Baines
C)Pelle+Falcao+Moreno > Welbeck+Aguero+Robertson?
ThanksI have 2FTs BTW
I hate them too, but this time international break brings Albania to Belgrade. Should be fun.
Now that's the match to watch.
Tadic and Moore/Wisdom/Duff -> Chadli and Bertrand
Already have PelleStick - Tadic looks great, tough match today. 3 great games ahead.
Thanks
Silva is a player I love to watch, and generally has incredible stats...
But he just never does anything when he is in my FPL team 🙁His PPG last season was very good, he just had too many injuries. Think he'll do well over the coming weeks.
Saving FT, so i'll look at potentially sterling + Moreno to Him + Chambers or something
He was seriously incredible to watch yesterday. Head ache to own in fantasy though.
Which is better ??
A- Keep Ulloa & Moreno > Baines
B- Ulloa > Welbeck
A
I considered the same but with Lovren>Baines. Decided to do B.
Liverpool were desperately unlucky not to get a CS against Everton as well as robbed of one by a terrible referee against WBA. QPR up next and they looked kak against whm.
Would really appreciate a RMT on this lot.
Mannone | Hamer
Ivanovic | Baines | Clyne | Wisdom | Duff
Di Maria | Siggy | Fabregas | Sterling | Marney
Pelle | Welbeck | Costa
Very very strong
Cheers mate.
Quick question, would you prefer Ulloa vs Newcastle (A) or Welbeck vs Hull (h) next week?Welbeck every single time, not even close
That back 3 is SOO good
Cheers
No Aguero will burn you.
Really?
I think the rest of his team will more than make up for itI think Aguero & cheaper mid/def will outscore baines/fab/pelle tbh.
I know what you mean and would love him but would need to gimp my defence to get him.
Fair play. It's a solid team, just no city is the weakness IMO.
Could get this team for a -4
Mannone | Hamer
Chambers | Baines | Clyne | Wisdom | Duff
Di Maria | Siggy | Fabregas | Sterling | Marney
Aguero | Ulloa | Costa
Very nice
Cheers mate
I feel Pelle and Welbz could be up and down and give you a lot of headaches this season and neither of them are captain material...
Buuuuttt, the rest is pretty darn good. That mid 4 and back 3 should be good most weeksThanks 😀
Arsenal lead the league in yellow cards. No wonder with their antics today. could quite easily of had 3 sent off
that's mostly due to Chambers
And Wishere, Flamini with a few too
A good DM would probably cut down on those cause there wouldn't be so many desperate late challenges.
Wenger would probably deny that all day though. Stubborn twonk
PVA -> Bertrand a good transfer going forward?
Saints have some cracking fixtures and Bertrand looks prime for attacking returns alsoSounds good
Yep
I would if I had a little more cash
I've only had 6 clean sheets all season (28 players).....
Surely nobody picked up Welbeck and thought he was good enough to start against Chelsea right?
Well, after that USL hat trick, there have been few.
Ramsey dropping tonight?
Probably
Is swapping Sterling out after QPR to free up funds for Welbeck and Baines/Azpi crazy?
Yeah, he's got Hull at home and NUFC away after that. He's a keeper for the entire season.
Anyone else having trouble making transfers on FPL site? Keep getting error page after I hit the make transfer button.
It's a sign. Don't get rid of that player. 😉
What transfer are you making?heh heh, thought someone might say that.
on wildcard, hoping to catch today's risers.
makes it even worse if it's a sign telling me I shouldn't have played my wildcard! 🙂
Short term budget Everton defender replacement for Stones?
It will be Distan. Not very budget friendly.
Keep an eye out on news for Oviedo
Shhhh 😉
Good question. Can you find me a 3m mid who scores every game?
Would you WC this:
Vito | Krul
Cahil | Berty | Duff | Dummett | Yoshi
Cesc | Schneiderlin | Siggy | Sterling | 4.5
Costa | Kun | Naismisth
1 FT, 3.2 ITB?Borderline.
Maybe only a Schneiderlin upgrade this week.It would be a shame to use it just to sort out defence and Schneiderlin.
Nah take a hit or two
Cheers guys!
What would you do with this team?? I came in the top 20k last year, but I cannot get in the top 1m this year.
Forster Myhill
Clyne Ivanovic Koscielny Dier Duff
Siggy Ramsey Di Maria Silva Larsson
Pelle Costa Ulloa
2FT 0.1ITB
Im thinking Ramsey and Dier> Jagielka and Lallana
Dier and Rambo need to go asap
I'd personally downgrade Rambo to a dirt cheap bench fodder and then upgrade Dier to Baines
And Larson
Yeah, but at least he plays
Yeah who for though?? Im thinking Baines/Jagielka +Lallana/Downing
Downing baines
Not a bad team.You've too much spent on defence. Too early to get Lallana and Everton are stoll conceding Jagielka will bring few attacking returns. Maybe Ramsey to Fabregas/Hazard and Dier to a 4.5 defender. 3 Chelsea isn't bad when they're in this form
