With West Brom and Man United set to seeĀ out the Gameweek tomorrow, we delve into the data from the nine matches played so far. Unsurprisingly, Man City, Southampton and West Ham’s in-form front men are on this evening’s agenda, whilst we also cast an eye over a couple of improving north London-based midfielders.

    Is Lloris the best keeper to get? Want to remove Mannone

    1. Rafabio
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Yup

    2. CunkOnFPL
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Nah

  2. tinker
    12 years, 10 days ago

    In order to get Aguero I have to do Welbeck + Sterling > Aguero + Boyd(-4)
    Good move?

    1. TeamSteam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Nah i dont think thats worth it, but Aguero should be aquired.

    2. Rafabio
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Nope, don't lose Raheem ATM

  3. Snikii
    12 years, 10 days ago

    The 3 players i am considering getting rid atm are the only once that are left from my squad GW1

  4. Sting
    12 years, 10 days ago

    A) Ivanovic, Ulloa, Costa > Chambers, Pelle, Aguero (-8)

    or

    B) Ivanovic, Hazard, Ulloa > 4.5m DEF, Tadic, Aguero (-8)

    1. TeamSteam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Few things are ever worth -8 points

      1. Sting
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Long-term surely Aguero is essential. He could get another haul against West Ham

        Can't afford an 11m man on the bench for 2 weeks if Costa doesn't play.

        1. TeamSteam
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Even so, there has to be a way for you to get Aguero in for just the one hit.

    2. CunkOnFPL
      12 years, 10 days ago

      B, but after Costa news

  5. macjag88
    12 years, 10 days ago

    PVA & Fab > Tadic & Baines -4 pts?

    1. CunkOnFPL
      12 years, 10 days ago

      No

    2. Walsh
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Yes

  6. Sadio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Anyone considering a double up on the Everton strikers?

    Have Baines, considering Ivanovic -> Coleman with my FT this week.

    1. Moosie the Staggie
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Lol for a sec I thought u meant naisy and lukaku. I seriously would if I could afford it.

  7. DuckduckD
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Mannone
    Coleman Bertrand Baines
    Sanchez Sterling Di Maria Sigurdsson
    Naismith Sakho Diego Costa

    Given , Moore , Quinn , Rafael

    Thoughts?

  8. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Tadic and Baines in for Hazard and Clyne? (For free)

    1. TeamSteam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Do not sell Clyne at this point. Surely you have worse defenders to get rid of for Baines.

      1. TeddiPonza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Can't afford it otherwise :/

        Tadic for Hazard then and save transfer?

        1. TeamSteam
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Rather that.

      2. Frank Black
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Sell Clyne in four games.

  9. Bic Boi
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Loris

    Clyne, Jagielka, Widom

    Sterling, Sigi, Di Maria, Fabragas

    Aguero, Costa, Pelle (C)

    Transfers made, team ready, headache out the way

  10. Keno
    12 years, 10 days ago

    RMT

    Foster

    Baines-Bertrand-Taylor-Moore-Wisdom

    Sterling-Fabregas-Siggy-Tadic-JWP(Soon to become Boyd)

    Costa-Aguero-Welbz

    1. Wave of Mutilation
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Very good. More or less the direction I am heading, although I have Pelle instead of Costa for now.

      1. Keno
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Yea I don't want to drop Costa because I have had him since week 1 the beginning and don't want to have to get him again at a much higher price, plus I know when he is back banging the goals in everyone will want to scramble to get him back in šŸ˜›

    Lads- ivanovic and costa out for Coleman and Aguero in....? What u reckon? Cheers

    1. Sting
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Got Baines?

      1. scallywag
        12 years, 10 days ago

        No- current team

        Foster Schmeichel

        Ivan/ Craig Dawson / Bertrand / chambers/ duff

        Siggy/fabregas/downing/sterling/tadic

        Costa/welbeck/pelle

  12. Jacques The Lad
    12 years, 10 days ago

    lost at the bottom

    Considering some options before next week

    A) Krul > forster
    B) Terry > Baines/Ivan
    C) Get rid of welbeck and take some hits to get Kun alongside pellet and costa

    1. Jacques The Lad
      12 years, 10 days ago

      *pelle

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Southampton start a terrible run of fixtures in a few weeks time so I wouldn't bother bringing Forster in for Krul. If you're going to get a keeper now it should at least be someone with decent fixtures until the January WC.

      1. Jacques The Lad
        12 years, 10 days ago

        villa's run is looking pretty good isn't it? especially with vlaar back, do you guzan is viable?

        1. sully29
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Yep, Guzan is the best bet for around Krul's price.

  13. Sting
    12 years, 10 days ago

    This injury doubt will hang over Costa all season!

    You never be sure when captaining him

    1. Walsh
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Costa is the new Kun šŸ˜€

    2. Kelton
      12 years, 10 days ago

      When people say wait for Costa news, what news? We never know till match day either way,

  14. TeamSteam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Need a new keeper, 5.0 to spend but hoping to find cheaper alternative. Fixturewise, Leicester and Villa look nice, but i`d basically be very surprised if any of them could find a cleanie at this point. Thoughts/tips?

    1. Jacques The Lad
      12 years, 10 days ago

      I'd go guzan, personally

    2. Walsh
      12 years, 10 days ago

      If there is one position where you will likely get what you pay for it is at keeper in this game.

    3. TeamSteam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      WBA look good for the next 3 and theyre pretty tight (few chances conceded), but the idea of changing keepers again after 3 games doesnt really appeal that much

    4. Mull
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Guzan. Villa have just ended a bad run of fixtures and were defensively solid in the first few games before said fixtures so they should be able to get a few clean sheets.

      1. TeamSteam
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Their fixtures arent really THAT good, and they look absolutely horrible at the moment. Might just go with Forster and double up on Soton for the next month.

        1. Mull
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Forster's 5.1 isn't he? I was working on the assumption you couldn't afford him

          1. TeamSteam
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            12 years, 10 days ago

            Oh, feck. Thought he was 5.0. I have nothing in the bank and Begovic at 5.0 is the one going. Theres really not a lot of lucrative keeper choices atm, unless you go big. Heres to hoping Greens sick another week then.

  15. RSe
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Sterling, Moreno, Bego > Erickson, Baines, Guzan for -4?

    Would be first hit of the season....yes no?

    1. OShaughnessy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Funny, those are the 3 players I'm targeting too.

      Although, I've got Sterling slotted in for the season.

      2bp's on a dodgy assist... yes please.

    2. TeamSteam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Eriksen (not Ericksen) isnt worth the hit over Sterling.

    3. jagshmash
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      never take a hit for a keeper...

  16. OShaughnessy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Overall Ranks are going to go nuts come Monday night with all the Costa captainers & subsequent auto-subs coming in...

    1. Walsh
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Not looking forward to it personally....I have tried not to think about how much I am due to fall and have been just trying to enjoy yesterday and today as much as I can šŸ™‚

      1. OShaughnessy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 10 days ago

        You at least have a decent sub coming on in for you?

        1. Walsh
          12 years, 10 days ago

          1 point man Mr. Hutton šŸ˜€

              Omg. Count those lucky stars haha that is incredible for you!

    2. Not Irish
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Seriously dreading it. Hope AdM goes off to keep me close to where I am at least.

      1. Walsh
        12 years, 10 days ago

        I would do bad things for AdM to finish on a 1-3 pointer. Bad things.

      2. OShaughnessy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 10 days ago

        VERY curious where it'll all fall.
        Why I'm taking a screen cap, tonight don't think I'll ever see the air up here again.

      3. Costa Nostra
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 10 days ago

        I'm looking for a big fat green arrow with ADM (C) and Falcao left tomorrow!

  17. ChampionoftheWorld
    12 years, 10 days ago

    McCarthy owners, how did he do against liverpool? Is this his chance to claim the spot with Green missing that game?

    1. Walsh
      12 years, 10 days ago

      I watched only the second half but he looked good to me. He was confident in coming out to claim the ball when he needed to and made a decent stop or two by my eye. Seemed pretty quality to me.

    2. TeamSteam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Not at fault for any of the goals, made a decent save on Lallanas shot but the rebound was in a dangerous area, not sure about him keeping his place as Green only was sick, not injured. Hoping he will as i actually have him, but honestly dont think he will.

    3. Lallana_
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Two own goals scored on him. Green will probably get his spot back.

      1. TeamSteam
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Lol neither of those were his fault

        1. Lallana_
          12 years, 10 days ago

          That's the point. Hard to judge him off that performance. I don't think Green will get dropped again but who knows...

          1. TeamSteam
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            12 years, 10 days ago

            I too think Green will slot back in once hes fully fit. McCarthy did nothing wrong, and nothing really stood out. Keepers tend to lose their place only through injury and a string of poor performances.

  18. Lallana_
    12 years, 10 days ago

    I have Costa, Pelle and Welbeck...don't know who to drop for Aguero. Such a headache!
    Ideally Costa will be the best to drop but Palace at home is such a great fixture.

    1. Frank Black
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Drop Costa now and get him back when Pellè/Saints' awful fixtures start.

      1. Lallana_
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Yeah Costa has good fixtures when Pelle's aren't so great in a few GWs. Good call.

  19. Ando
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Siggy --> Chadli, or should I wait until GW 10 when Swansea's fixtures take a turn for the worse?

    1. Walsh
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Wait one more GW.

      1. Ando
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Thanks, probably the wisest thing to do.

    2. CunkOnFPL
      12 years, 10 days ago

      wait

  20. carloicecube
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Best option to get Baines:
    A) Cahill+Kaboul to Baines+Duff
    B) Cahill+Sterling to Baines+Eriksen
    C) Cahill+Fab to Baines+Eriksen
    D) Cahill+Welbeck to Baines+Sakho
    E) Cahill+Kaboul+Begovic to Baines+Chambers+Manonne

    Baring in mind that I want to get Walcott when he becomes a starter (We might have a few weeks to wait)

    1. CunkOnFPL
      12 years, 10 days ago

      A

  21. Flying Assassins
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Not sure what to do. Need to upgrade DEF somewhere. Got 2 FT's. Suggestions?

    Forster Gilks
    Moore Wisdom Hutton Wilson Pva
    Eriksen Sterling Silva ADM Marney
    Costa Pelle Aguero

    1. Lallana_
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Love Silva but with Aguero in your side I would downgrade him

      1. Flying Assassins
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Tadic or someone else?

        1. Lallana_
          12 years, 10 days ago

          How about Eriksen?

          1. Flying Assassins
            12 years, 10 days ago

            Got him.

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Ideas to free up funds: Forster > Guzan (Southampton's fixtures plummet in a few weeks) or downgrade one of Silva/Sterling for someone like Tadic/Siggy/Barkley.

      Upgrading defense is a bit more difficult as the best options are either very expensive or of the bargain basement variety. I'd look at getting rid of PvA first given his fixtures and the hammering they took yesterday.

  22. CunkOnFPL
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Hey lads, team is;

    Vito | Krul
    Cahil | Berty | Duff | Dummett | Yoshi
    Cesc | Schneiderlin | Siggy | Sterling | 4.5
    Costa | Kun | Naismisth

    2 FT, 3.2 ITB

    Would you do,
    Cahil, Yoshi, Nais to:

    a. Baines, Chambers, Welbeck
    b. Pelle, Wisdom (have to do before prices rises)
    c. other?

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      12 years, 10 days ago

      I think you should ditch Costa and Kun and sign this dynamic duo instead https://twitter.com/EurosportCom_EN/status/477719824953786368/photo/1

  23. kiwi_pool
    12 years, 10 days ago

    How to squeeze Baines in here?

    Clyne, Moreno, Cahill, Wisdom, PvA + 0.2ITB and 2FT

    1. TeamSteam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      I`d lose Moreno

    2. the cromulent one
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Moreno & Cahill to Baines & Chambers?

    3. kiwi_pool
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Thanks. Hadn't thought of Chambers.

  24. the cromulent one
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Is a straight swap from Sigurdsson to Tadic worthwhile?
    Too knee-jerky?
    Yes Sigurdsson has Leicester next, but fixtures really sour thereafter (eve ARS mci).

    1. TeamSteam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      I`d keep Siggy this week and ship after

    2. Walsh
      12 years, 10 days ago

      I would do that swap right now.

  25. Arsenals Number 19. Santi C…
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Lukaku and Silva to Aguero & a mid < 8.1 (maybe Barkley) for a 4 point hit thoughts

    1. the cromulent one
      12 years, 10 days ago

      With Eriksen, I think that's a great transfer.

      1. Arsenals Number 19. Santi C…
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Already have Erik šŸ™‚

        1. the cromulent one
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Ha! Nice.
          Sort out your link in that case.
          What about Tadic?

  26. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Baines or Coleman

    Which 1 of these 2 will i bring in?

    1. Lallana_
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Baines because he take penalties and a lot of free kicks

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Auto Complete says Baines

  27. Lallana_
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Waiting to see how this week pans out (with injuries and whatnot) but the plan right now is:

    Costa>Aguero
    Di Maria>Ramsey

    Week after:

    Sigurdsson>Eriksen

  28. Koflok
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Thinking of abandoning my double SOT defense to bring Tadic in for 3 weeks before bringing in Wally.

    Clyne Ox -> Hutton Tadic (-4)

    1. OShaughnessy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Post GW13 looks ugly for the SOT def so, getting a head start ain't all bad.
      Although, their form & fixtures are hard to ignore.

  29. Costa Nostra
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Would you take a -8 if it means you are bringing in Baines, Aguero and Pelle?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      No.

    2. the cromulent one
      12 years, 10 days ago

      If you have a time machine and are going back to before gw8, then yes.
      Otherwise, it is hard to say whether it will pay off. What players would you drop?

    3. OShaughnessy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Who are you getting rid of & are you captaining Aguero?

    4. Goodnight Kiwi
      12 years, 10 days ago

      With this weeks fixtures I would prioritise Baines, Aguero then Pelle. I wouldn't risk it personally, but if you have to do all 3 at once I could see it paying of by this weekend. Depends who you are taking out too of course

    5. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Dropping Caulker, Ulloa and Costa or Falcao.

  30. megatronaldinho
    12 years, 10 days ago

    i started PVA this week. it was him or robertson and i'd already used my free on a blackett-jag upgrade (which i suppose might go some way to tinting my perception.) -2 in an 8 nil loss is kinda not terrible. it really could very easily have been worse. look at today's own-goal fest. red card for someone on the receiving end of such a demolition wud also have been unsurprising.

    1. kiwi_pool
      12 years, 10 days ago

      I've got PvA coming in for Moreno.

      1. Goodnight Kiwi
        12 years, 10 days ago

        I sold PVA this week Kiwi. Don't see the point in getting him with upcoming fixtures. Better out there at that price bracket surely....
