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.

    Jagielka rise šŸ˜Ž

    1. Norco
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Wonder if he can keep it up. Great fixtures coming up too

      1. Venom Snake
        12 years, 10 days ago

        I'm hoping they keep a few CS.

  2. Norco
    12 years, 10 days ago

    I have 2FT and 1.3ITB, unsure who to bring in. Does anyone have suggestions on where I could improve the team?

    Forster 
    Baines Clyne PVA Duff Moore
    Sterling Fabregas Chadli Siggy Boyd 
    Aguero Costa Pelle 

    I think PvA has to go with the fixtures coming up.

    Any assistance is appreciated.

    1. BeachBadger
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Ditch PVA

      1. Norco
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Who for? Chambers maybe?

        1. BeachBadger
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Yeah Chambers seems the best bet. hough Arsenal look shaky at the minute.

            Thanks champ

    Ivanovic owners, do you feel he's droppable?

    He's not been playing as advanced, has he?

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Yeah its starting to look that way. I think if you need the cash to upgrade elsewhere it might be worth doing. I'm holding for the time being however.

      Saying the same thing about transferring out any Chelsea defender...
      Is your team in such a good position that you can dedicate your FT to swapping them out?
      If som I'm very envious because, there are much bigger issues I need to address.

      1. fedolefan
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Not that I have those problems, but having an expensive Chelsea defender is one of the reasons a team is possibly not in a good position.

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

          I guess, I just think of it this way...
          I bought Terry & unless he gets injured then he's in my team for the year.
          Chelsea are *awlays* tops for limiting their opponents chances & you can play them in pretty much any fixture.
          They've already managed 3 clean sheets too.
          Few defenders offer this & I don't mind paying 6.5mil for it.

    3. Ninja Skrtels
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Thats the predicament I'm in, could use the funds to potentially fund Aguero

  4. Djerbil
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Currenrly on 10k but with ADM + 23 points to come from C->VC swap , was wondering where I could realistically end up tonight

    Gargatron tells me I'm 5 points behind 5k and 23 points behind 1k

    But there should be other Costa(C) s ahead of me , ain't it??

    1. Djerbil
      12 years, 10 days ago

      * 9 points behind 5k and 28 points behind 1k

    2. RSe
      12 years, 10 days ago

      point total at the moment?

      1. Djerbil
        12 years, 10 days ago

        465

        1. Les Bleus
          12 years, 10 days ago

          You'll easily go within the top 5k. I'm at 473 @ 5k with only ADM left (+1 point).

          I'd say 2k or even 1k for you

        2. RSe
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Well im 495 and thats 825th overall so I would imagine you are in for a pretty big rise.

        3. the cromulent one
          12 years, 10 days ago

          I'm right there with you. On 470 points and have 17 coming from vc and autosub, plus ADM to come. I'm currently at 6.8k... hoping for a jump to 3k with the extra points.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 10 days ago

      2K would be a good outcome. Everyone is getting at least an autosub & most above you will have AdM at least if not captained.

    4. Djerbil
      12 years, 10 days ago

      cheers guys

  5. Venom Snake
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Have three playable defenders this week, shall I save FT or ditch one of PvA/Chester/Bego?

    Begovic
    Clyne - Jagielka - Kelly
    ADM - Sterling - Tadic - Siggy
    Costa - Aguero - Welbeck

    Gilks -- Marney - PvA - Chester

    1. Rambo Motin
      12 years, 10 days ago

      How many times have you asked this question šŸ˜€ Defs get rid imo

      1. Venom Snake
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Not enough, can't get a response!

    2. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      12 years, 10 days ago

      Save a FT if you can. Use them when you need them.

  6. ChampionoftheWorld
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Hi did moreno miss the liverpool game because of injury or he's been drop?

    I read some news before the match that he was left out of u21 on potential injury.

    1. RSe
      12 years, 10 days ago

      mainly because he's a massive troll.

    2. RSe
      12 years, 10 days ago

      (But no just rested for CL. Either way, I'm getting rid.

  7. GreennRed
    12 years, 10 days ago

    I see a lot of QPR fans on Twitter asking that McCarthy stay as No. 1.

    Might get the occasional cleansheet. A very good keeper. Worth a look for cheap 2nd keeper option.

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

      One problem, he still plays for QPR.

      1. Les Bleus
        12 years, 10 days ago

        This. People didn't think of that when buying Caulker.

      2. GreennRed
        12 years, 10 days ago

        'Ocassional' cleansheet. Best 4.0 option.

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          12 years, 10 days ago

          He'd be the only 4m option if he becomes a starter. Useful if your main keeper gets injured.

          1. GreennRed
            12 years, 10 days ago

            He started today cos Green has tonsillitis. Played better than Green has done. Should keep his place. If any 2nd keeper will make the first team, even without injury, he's thee man.

      3. Alexe
        12 years, 10 days ago

        At 4.0m, still better than Krul at 4.5m IMO.

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

          Great... I truly wish for the week when swapping out my back-up keeper is the most important issue facing my team. šŸ˜‰

          1. Ryan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            12 years, 10 days ago

            I think its just McCarthy owners who are getting excited by it. Rightfully so.

            1. Najoman86
              12 years, 10 days ago

              Spot on! Likely to play McCarthy at home to Villa over Begovic who is away at Southampton. If Green gets the nod ahead of McCarthy, Begovic to auto-sub in.

  8. Jay_
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Very early days of course but next gw Captains, got to be Aguero surely ? after reading the article i will change my V from Siggy to Sterling, RMT also saying Sterling interestingly

  9. Les Bleus
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Thanks to the bib theory, I was able to do Moreno to Baines (otherwise I wouldn't have).

    1. Jay_
      12 years, 10 days ago

      That influenced me too šŸ™‚

      1. Les Bleus
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Kind of lucky for me but hey, that's the game šŸ˜‰

    2. 1314
      12 years, 10 days ago

      what's bib theory ?

  10. Ne0
    12 years, 10 days ago

    This week:

    A) Cahill -> Baines
    B) Cahill, Ulloa -> Jagielka, Pelle
    C) Cahill, Costa -> Baines, Pelle

    1. Les Bleus
      12 years, 10 days ago

      B for me

    2. Rex Lapis
      12 years, 10 days ago

      B

  11. Road to glory...
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Whos the best option for gw9?

    Schneiderlin or Naismith?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Naismith but his time is probably up with Barkley back.

      1. RoyaleBlue
        12 years, 10 days ago

        His time is deffinetly not up, he has been awesome this season and won't he dropped just because Barkley is back, however if he plays on Thursday he may not start on Sunday .

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Barkley being back affects his output quite a bit. Plenty on here said he was pretty quiet.

          1. RoyaleBlue
            12 years, 10 days ago

            True he may not be playing off lukaku now Barkley is back, however I think Everton will have more going forward now Barkley is there to link up the play and draw players in.

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              12 years, 10 days ago

              Barkley is a shooting machine.

  12. RoyaleBlue
    12 years, 10 days ago

    So many good keepers warming the benches of teams, that would easily be in the 11 of a lot of teams.

    Ospina, Vorm, Cabellero and Cech to name a few, all solid keepers.

    Any others you guys can name?

  13. Rex Lapis
    12 years, 10 days ago

    want to downgrade Hazard to make some cash

    to play alongsde ADM, Sterling, Eriksen

    any thoughts?

    my forward: Costa, Pelle, Jelavic

  14. President John F. Keninnsie
    12 years, 10 days ago

    What do people plan on doing with their Southampton players in GW13 when their next 3 games are against City, Arsenal and United? Play, bench or sell?

    I'm interested in peoples thoughts on this since most of us have at least 1 Saints defender and attacker.

    1. Rambo Motin
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Sell Sell Sell

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 10 days ago

      All 3 of those teams concede so 1 attacker is fine. Most of us will probably have to play the defender as they have attacking potential.

      1. forthesakeofitall
        12 years, 10 days ago

        keep Clyne, may sell Pelle

    3. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 10 days ago

      I dunno man, its a while away yet. I certainly won't be having 3 Saints players as I do now.

      1. Blue Lion
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Awesome score mate! If i had not sold Tadic i would have been somewhere near your score!

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Yeah my patience as tested last week. Was looking for ways to ship him out but was happy to give him another chance. Glad he delivered.

    4. President John F. Keninnsie
      12 years, 10 days ago

      What I have found out is during that 3 match run, Burnley have AVL, NEW and qpr. This makes me lean towards keeping (and benching) Clyne as I have Duff who could temporarily take his place in my lineup.

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        12 years, 10 days ago

        QPR have LEI, swa, BUR so if McCarthy keeps his place that could allow me to keep Forster too... Hmm...

      2. Les Bleus
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Good call! I'll probably do the same!

    5. Venom Snake
      12 years, 10 days ago

      I think clyne is too good of value for me to sell so probably bench. Tadic I'd consider selling

    6. Les Bleus
      12 years, 10 days ago

      I only have Clyne and Pelle so I plan on playing Pelle all the fixtures and perhaps benching Clyne 1-2 of the fixtures.

    7. Alexe
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Sell. Pelle will hopefully become Benteke (or Bony at the very least). Don't have any love for Sakho/Cisse. Clyne might stay, or become Azpi if I have the cash.

    8. Blue Lion
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Please let me know when you come up with a solution. Also who to sell, Clyne or Bertrand?

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        12 years, 10 days ago

        I'd keep Bertrand. I have Clyne and wish I had Bert instead.

    9. money face bandwagon
      12 years, 10 days ago

      slowly phase out..clyne out 1st..followed by either pelle/tadic i think depending on the options available. would not mind leaving 1 soton attacker in the team as they are cheap value

    10. The Finnisher
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Have no problem keeping Tadic if he is performing but Eriksen/Walcott will both be tempting if he's not.

    11. BeachBadger
      12 years, 10 days ago

      I have Forster so he has to get the boot. Clyne can be rotated

    12. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      I think keep the defender and tadic, and ditch pelle for benteke.

    13. Goodnight Kiwi
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Mate. Clyne and Pelle here. Current plan is Pelle to Welbeck or Benteke GW13 and Clyne to Vlaar or City D GW14

    14. President John F. Keninnsie
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Contrasting ideas! Cheers all for the thoughts.

    15. FPL Daniel
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Wildcard for me before GW 13. Offload all SoT players and nicely set for the busy festive period before winter WC. That is my plan

      1. FPL Daniel
        12 years, 10 days ago

        I might keep Pelle/ Taidc/ Mane but that is all. now I have 3

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

      You shut your mouth when you talk to me!
      This'll never end!
      Tadic & Pelle Top 2 scorers in the game!
      Suarez's record's gonna fall.

  15. forthesakeofitall
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Fabs+Ulloa>Pelle+Chadli then next week Iva+Welbeck>Kun+Wisdom, YAY/NAY?

    1. forthesakeofitall

      lads?

        Reply fail

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Don't bother with the pelle / welbeck bit so it's only 3 transfers overall and make sure wisdom keeps his place

      2. The Finnisher
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Still been scoring well, and we know he has goals in him. Everton/Arsenal both conceding goals and only City away before he plays Palace and QPR at home

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          12 years, 10 days ago

          He has been over performing according to his stats though. Throw in some tough fixtures and its an easy decision for me.

          1. The Finnisher
            12 years, 10 days ago

            I'm tempted by Di Maria and Sigurdsson to Eriksen and Ramsey after next week. Very fixture based move which is risky but if I wanna win FPL I need to take risks šŸ˜‰

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

              I'll be looking to free up some cash and upgrade to a big hitter. Will be saving a FT this week for greater flexibility.

    2. Alexe
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Made 0.4m + 48 points (+ next GW). Very happy, time to move on now.

    One thing for sure, this weekend was well worth the wait!

    1. Les Bleus
      12 years, 10 days ago

      True that!

      After a horrid start as a non Aguero owner.

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      12 years, 10 days ago

      We deserve it after that terribly boring international break.

  18. Rossamous
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Brought Oberton in this week for Albrighton finally and benched Chadli. Coulndnt have asked for better. Cool!

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Nicely done. Was the perfect time to deal with Albrighton. Although he did start if I recall šŸ™‚

      1. Rossamous
        12 years, 10 days ago

        thanks plus the Aguero (c) helped to be my second highest ever single player points hual. Delighted.

    2. Aussie_Toon_Lad
      12 years, 10 days ago

      It's so satisfying when a punt like that pays off!

  19. Mane in the Bank
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 10 days ago

    This is my first ever RMT so would really appreciate some feedback. I've already used my GW 9 FT on Aguero for Costa.

    Mannone Heaton
    Wilson Duff Bertrand N.Taylor Blackett
    Fabregas Sterling Silva Downing DiMaria
    Aguero Pelle Naismith

    1. Aussie_Toon_Lad
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Not too bad mate. I would look at downgrading silva and upgrading Naismith or a defender in the next few weeks

    2. the cromulent one
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Nice team.
      No Costa might be problematic, but then no Aguero is problematic for me.
      With Barkley back, I'm not sure if Naismith is really playable anymore. I'd downgrade Downing to a cheapie, and upgrade Naismith to Welbeck (or Sakho for flair).

  20. Ninja Skrtels
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Begovic -> Guzan
    Lovren -> Chambers
    Sigurdsson -> Barkley

    y/n?

  21. Ninja Skrtels
    12 years, 10 days ago

    also, anyone got anything on Alcaraz from Everton? could be a steal if he looks set to hold his starting spot?

      Stones injured and Distin out of favour, it's his spot to lose

    Really stuck on what to do with my 2FT this week? 0.5ITB

    Forster, Guzan
    Baines, Chambers, Clyne, Naylor, Moore
    Di Maria, Sterling, Siggy, Downing, Boyd
    Aguero, Costa, Pelle

    1. Ninja Skrtels
      12 years, 10 days ago

      awesome team! Swansea have a tough few weeks coming up, so you could potentially look at moving on Siggy/Naylor? Otherwise I can't pick anything out!

      1. Aussie_Toon_Lad
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Thanks mate! Yeah Siggy to Chadli is tempting but Siggy is at home to Leicester this week

    1 FT, what would you do with this team? Thinking Costa > Aguero and Moreno > Wilson.

    Forster (4.0)
    Baines Moreno Bertrand Taylor Hutton
    Di Maria Fab Sterling Siggy Boyd
    Costa Pelle Welbeck

    1. Aussie_Toon_Lad
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Can you afford chambers instead of Wilson?

      1. ChampionoftheWorld
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Good shout, will take a look. He gets a lot of yellows though doesn't he...

    Begovic
    Dummet-Ferdinand-Naylor
    Sterling-Tadic-Hazard-Sigurdson
    Costa-Aguero-Pelle
    Gilks-Moore-PvA-Marney
    Do I move Ferdinand and PvA out for Bertrand and Chambers?

    1. Ninja Skrtels
      12 years, 10 days ago

      yes and yes, looks good

    have a novice question here , what's bib theory ? >.

    1. Ninja Skrtels
      12 years, 10 days ago

      its the theory that the starting XI for liverpool each game week will wear a different coloured bib at training during the week

    2. Rupert The Horse

      It's actually mainly based around Liverpool But it's pictures of players with different bibs suggesting line up

    Jagielka+Barkley

    or

    Coleman/Baines + Downing

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

      B. Barkley is a good player but not a good fpl player

  27. Scoredelario

    Not looking forward to the next points update. I've had a decent week with 88, but aguero was my captain so no vc points, no manu players, first sub 1 point.

    People are going to fly past me! Anyone else similar?

    1. 1314
      12 years, 10 days ago

      have ADM , but many have him as (C) or Costa's (VC)...well 10 points would be nice to me xD

    2. Shifty
      12 years, 10 days ago

      how many points are u on in total?

  28. Lord Flashheart

    DDG
    Ivanovic-Caulker-Wisdom-Bertand-Moore
    Sterling-ADM-Fabs-Siggy-Albrighton
    Costa-Pelle-Welbz

    No FTs. I want to take Kun & Baines, ML leader has them.-4 isn't enough to take them.
    I am very tempted to play wildcard now. Should i go for it? or take one at a time?
    Suggestion please

  30. EmreCan Hustle

    Morning DZ.

    Really want Eriksen in the team from next week. Great fixtures, playing in the hole, found some form and a BAP magnet.

    Current team.
    Krul McCarthy
    Baines Clyne Chambers Hutton Moore
    Fabregas Sterling Mane Sigurdsson Boyd
    Aguero Costa Pelle

    1FT. No hits required.
    A. Mane>Eriksen. Mane has decent fixtures, but have Pelle and Clyne.
    B. Sigurdsson>Eriksen. Fixtures turn slightly sour, Swansea looked poor yesterday, easy to bring back(gw13).

    Thanks.
