With West Brom and Man United set to see 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.

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

    Prior to the deadline I sold Costa for Kun. I also have Dzeko. If I do Dzeko to Sakho now, next week I have the option of bringing in Tadic for bench fodder or Costa in for Pelle. Good move?

    1. Gunner HitIT
      12 years, 10 days ago

      yea i already shipped dzeko.no point wasting money .

      1. Captain Peacock
        12 years, 10 days ago

        True. I'm going to pull the trigger.

        1. THE Wild Rover
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Hope he tells us all about it on his blog 😛

    2. The Machine
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Why would you sell pelle ? 3 awful defences after this week

      1. Captain Peacock
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Good point. Guess I'd have to sell Sterling or Fab then.

    3. 42 Rules
      12 years, 10 days ago

      benching problems ? I like the Sakho idea, under 10% ownership etc but could also consider Valencia (WHAM) - sweet head on Saturday.

  2. demonbecks
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Which of these defenders would you start this week?

    PvA (At home against Arsenal)
    Moore (Away against Swansea)
    Chester (Away against Liverpool)

    The other 2 defenders are Baines and Betrand.

    Thanks in advance!

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

      Chester and another.

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

        Oops misread. Just Chester.

    2. Shifty
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Chester. Bigger goal threat at set pieces of the 3 against a weaker defence.

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

      PvA...Sunderland will be hoping for a strong home show after the 8-0 thrashing..

    4. demonbecks
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Thanks everyone for the swift response!

      Am see-sawing between PvA and Chester for the same reasons mentioned, surely Sunderland will tighten up at the Stadium of Light after they were ripped to shreds on the road?

      Then again, Liverpool's defending has left much to desire, and one does dream of Chester replicating a GW1 performance (which I missed sadly 🙁 ) against a side who can't defend if their lives depended on it.

      Decisions...decisions...

  3. Game of Stones
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Begovic (McCarthy)
    Clyne - Hutton - Bertrand (Taylor, Moore)
    Sterling - Fabregas - Siggy - Di Maria
    Aguero - Welbeck - Costa

    Used my 2 FT's on Zaha & Ulloa > Boyd & Welbeck yesterday - saved me 0.2 😀

    Should I be content with this team?
    Annoys me that I don't have Tadic, Pelle or Baines - and even worse, I've got not plan of getting, as I don't know how 🙁

    1. Captain Peacock
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Not a bad team. You could sell Costa or Sterling though.

      1. Game of Stones
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Think I will keep Costa, as it will be hard to get him back if I sell.
        I was about to sell Sterling yesterday in order to get Baines/Pelle, but went with the Welbeck option. Not too confident about Sterling though :/

  4. faux_C
    12 years, 10 days ago

    I'm on 108 points for the week, with all my players done. Currently at 8.5k. Where do we think I'll be after the Utd game?

    I'm guessing around 30k?

    1. Van Dal
      12 years, 10 days ago

      probably about right

    2. The Machine
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Nothing off the bench?

      Depends on Di maria's score really

      1. faux_C
        12 years, 10 days ago

        It's actually 106+2.

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

      that sits about right..unless United win 1-0 with a WBA own goal..

    4. Saniul
      12 years, 10 days ago

      If ADM blanks, 20k is a possibility.

    5. faux_C
      12 years, 10 days ago

      I'm really curious to see how Costa subs affect the final scores this week.

    6. Green Arrow
      12 years, 10 days ago

      It all depends on the angel..

  5. Van Dal
    12 years, 10 days ago

    what ever happend with Michu? one hit wonder or injuries?

    1. Your Mum's Athletic
      12 years, 10 days ago

      napoli happened

  6. cogs
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Dont know what to do with Ulloa..

    Begovic, (McCarthy)

    Baines, Clyne, Taylor (Moore, Duff)

    Di Maria, Fabregas, Sterling, Siggy (Boyd)

    Aguero, Costa, Ulloa

    1FT, 0.5 ITB.

    What are your thoughts?

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

      Sakho or Pelle funded by Fab > Spurs mid.

      1. cogs
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Worth -4?

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

          I think so.

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

      get rid Leicester are crap

  7. Defcons are for Kinnear
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Tadic or Chadli? Money no issue and already have Eriksen

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Tadic then

    2. faux_C
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Tadic is a no-brainer, surely?

      Unless you think this week was a fluke.

      1. Baa
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Well they aren't going to score 8 a week..

        1. faux_C
          12 years, 10 days ago

          No but a good score from him has been due from his underlying stats. He won't get 23 points a week, but he'll keep scoring well.

    3. The Machine
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Tadic

    4. Stykes
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Tadic, no brainer.

    5. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 10 days ago

      still chadli.
      of course the answer if you ask today will be tadic

  8. Fader
    12 years, 10 days ago

    How do I improve this team? I only have 0.3m ITB atm

    Foster
    Clyne, Ivanovic , Baines
    Fabregas, Di Maria, Siggy, Tadic
    Costa, Aguero, Sakho

    Elliot Wisdom Targett Boyd

    1. cogs
      12 years, 10 days ago

      That is a really good team! leave it

      1. Fader
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Thank you. Do you not think maybe next weeks FT Targett - > Hutton ?

        1. Heels_Over_Head
          12 years, 10 days ago

          good idea, you need to make some money with your spare places

      2. Think Tank
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Save - good team.

    2. Heels_Over_Head
      12 years, 10 days ago

      save a transfer

    3. Your Mum's Athletic
      12 years, 10 days ago

      save

    4. FISSH
      12 years, 10 days ago

      very good team. Pelle the only player that could hurt you. But Tadic kind of makes up for it

      1. Fader
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Yeah I'm going to try and swap Sakho for Pelle long-term if I can raise the cash.

    5. Fader
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Thanks all

  9. Your Mum's Athletic
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Need ADM to score 14 points tonight to win my weekly cash game, bloody PVA -2 off the bench. On a serious note, which of these 2 would you get rid of for Chambers:

    A) PVA
    B) Chester

    I'm leaning towards B currently as PVA at least is nailed on

    1. FISSH
      12 years, 10 days ago

      I wouldn't get Chambers. Yellow magnet and Arsenal don't exactly look like getting clean sheets

      1. Your Mum's Athletic
        12 years, 10 days ago

        surely better than the above players

  10. Jeko
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Hello everyone,

    Do we Know How long Costa Will be injured? Is it a good move to switch for Aguero now? Thx

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

      This is your first ever post asking the $64m question!! Good start.
      No one has any idea by the way.

  11. Marian Kuna Guero
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Anybody knows whether Koscielny gonna be fit on Wednesday?

  12. Pringle
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Nothing wrong with Pelle+Tadic+Bertrand for the weeks to come right?

    1. FISSH
      12 years, 10 days ago

      not at all

    2. The Machine
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Nope. That what I had this week and sticking

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

      Nope. It worked out an absolute treat this week 😎

    4. AIRMILES
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Fine for next 4 GWs, then you might want to shift all three for the following 9 GWs

  13. FISSH
    12 years, 10 days ago

    I have ADM (C) this evening, purely because I wanted an exiting game to watch.
    I don't think its going to be enjoyable. Can see a 1/2 pointer incoming

    1. Fader
      12 years, 10 days ago

      2-1 Man United tonight

      Falcao will score. Not sure on who will score the 2nd

    2. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 10 days ago

      there are rumours falcao could be benched in which case ADM is moved forward into a front 3

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        12 years, 10 days ago

        😯

      2. Somalion
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Well I would get Boyd off the bench and ADM will be my captain... But why bench Falcao? 😕

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    12 years, 10 days ago

    aguero increasing 1% ownership a day

    1. The Machine
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Not too much

    2. FISSH
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Loads of people will be taking minus points to get him in.

      1. AIRMILES
        12 years, 10 days ago

        yep, i'm gonna

    3. Billy Gilmore
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Slower than I was expecting.

  15. Chenku╰☆╮
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Just realised i have a cover from the following teams for next GW..

    2 - saints, 1 newcastle, 1 Mcity, 1 m utd, 1 chelsea, 1 pool, 1 swans, 1 arsenal, 1 villa, 1 everton.

  16. Jebiga
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Nobody has risen 0.3 per week, right ? 🙂

    1. Think Tank
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Not yet, Aguero might this week.

    2. King Nil Miss ✩
      12 years, 10 days ago

      But there have been more than one 0.2 rise this GW already, right?

      1. King Nil Miss ✩
        12 years, 10 days ago

        No!

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

        No

    3. Heels_Over_Head
      12 years, 10 days ago

      not yet

    4. Billy Gilmore
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Jovetic did, technically.

  17. King Nil Miss ✩
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Most annoying thing about this GW..

    We only know where we stand after all updates this evening(auto-subs and VCs).

    1. faux_C
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Absolutely!

    2. Baa
      12 years, 10 days ago

      🙁 I just wish Costa had played 5 mins

    3. Van Dal
      12 years, 10 days ago

      look forward to the surprise!

    4. Defcons are for Kinnear
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Including my Aguero (vc) 😎

      1. King Nil Miss ✩
        12 years, 10 days ago

        😡

        1. King Nil Miss ✩
          12 years, 10 days ago

          I´m more afraid of the Dí Maria ones though..

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

      Great rank. Top 100 easy coming up.

      1. King Nil Miss ✩
        12 years, 10 days ago

        11/12th atm.

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

          Counted 7 AdM captain in top 150. No idea on the Costa/AdM combo.

          1. King Nil Miss ✩
            12 years, 10 days ago

            There are 8 in my mini-league alone...

    6. Shifty
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Yup, Aguero vc for me, Sterling off the bench for Chambers 😀

      1. theplayer
        12 years, 10 days ago

        What was the point in playing Chambers?

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

          Autosub points.

        2. Shifty
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Autosub points, i really hate doing it...but my ML leader did that a couple of weeks back when one of his defenders was red flagged. Just mini league revenge.

  18. cogs
    12 years, 10 days ago

    About to do Ulloa + Fabregas --> Chadli + Pelle + -4

    Do it?

    1. FISSH
      12 years, 10 days ago

      no

    2. The Machine
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Selling fabregas is madness

      1. The Machine
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Ok I'm exagerrating but still, keep him

        1. cogs
          12 years, 10 days ago

          hahahha okay!

  19. Game of Stones
    12 years, 10 days ago

    At 73 points, with Moore 1pt coming on for Costa, and Di Maria left to play.
    Will I drop in ranking, currently 15k?

    1. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 10 days ago

      will tell you in about 14 hours

      1. Game of Stones
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Okay then 😉

    2. mipola
      12 years, 10 days ago

      You'll come down to around 30-35k imo.

  20. Sarri-ball
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Is Baines essential?

    Thinking morano/fabs to Baines eriksen. Good move?

    Don't want to drop fabs but only way can get Baines

    1. Game of Stones
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Not feeling to confident about not owning him, but dropping Sterling/Fab is only way to get him for me atm.

      1. Sarri-ball
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Yep I'm sane basically fab to eriksen or sterling to chadli

    2. cogs
      12 years, 10 days ago

      He is pretty high up there on the essential list at the moment.

    3. Shifty
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Thinking something similar, with Sterling/Bardsley > Baines/Eriksen. Looks good on paper but what's holding me back is that I would be quite cash strapped and would be tough to get Walcott when he returns.

      And Walcott is FPL gold dust.

  21. cogs
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Best striker for 6.2 or less for the next few weeks?

    1. Game of Stones
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Sakho

    2. Valar(Keith)
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Sakho for stats.. Berahino for fixtures

    3. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 10 days ago

      bought berahino for their next 3 fixtures so would have to say him, or sakho of course

  22. Sarri-ball
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Is Oscar at 8.3 a good option over fabs or hazard?

    1. Game of Stones
      12 years, 10 days ago

      No, too inconsistent imo

    2. cogs
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Nope. Haz and Fab more consistant.

    3. Birds of Prey
      12 years, 10 days ago

      no

      he'll burn you soft, and Moreno subs him too much. IMO GL

      1. Birds of Prey
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Mourinho got sub+Moreno on the mind.

    4. Shifty
      12 years, 10 days ago

      wouldn't go near him. Have owned him twice over the past 2 seasons. Hard to predict when he delivers.

    5. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 10 days ago

      short-term yes. his ppg tops hazard and he's only just behind cesc for 1mil less and is more attacking than him

  23. Tony Warner Fan Club
    12 years, 10 days ago

    If I'd bothered to do UFPL properly this week I would have had 109 instead of 95. I just.. can't be bothered. It's like rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.

    1. FISSH
      12 years, 10 days ago

      haha yea exactly. i cant even be bothered with it at all

    2. Birds of Prey
      12 years, 10 days ago

      that makes no sense

    3. Billy Gilmore
      12 years, 10 days ago

      But there's money at stake, man!

      1. Tony Warner Fan Club
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Money ain't everything, William.

  24. Who Ate All Depays?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Is Costa -> Aguero a sound move ?

    1. FISSH
      12 years, 10 days ago

      not if costa isn't injured.

      Costa will miss the champions league games and then be back for the weekend. Lots of people will have sold him. He will score a brace and Aguero will limp off after 30 mins.

      This website will implode.

    2. Sebbo29
      12 years, 10 days ago

      would not do it unless injury is confirmed. And especially not because of that QPR game coming up soon. Could easily be a similar scoreline as the SOT game

  25. Valar(Keith)
    12 years, 10 days ago

    KRUL Elliott
    Baines Terry Clyne CAULKER Duff
    Eriksen Tadic Adm Sterling Siggy
    COSTA Welbeck VARDY
    1.8 in the bank..
    2 FT

    If Costa is out for more than 2 weeks then i'll do Costa to Aguero.. If not.. which would be the better transfer
    A) Caulker to Hutton
    B) Krul to Guzan
    C) Vardy to Sakho/Berahino?

    Decided not to destroy my team to get Aguero in for Vardy

    1. Birds of Prey
      12 years, 10 days ago

      C to Sakho

      I worry about Villa, if you don't attack well youre defending usually.

    2. Shifty
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Like the sound of B tbh.

  26. makkintosh
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Clyne or Bertrand ?

    1. FISSH
      12 years, 10 days ago

      your own call.
      I have clyne and think i would want berty

    2. Sebbo29
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Berty is better coz less owners

  27. Billy Gilmore
    12 years, 10 days ago

    It's terrifying that the average person has 3.5 players to play/sub in. I have only Wisdom. Gulp 😮

    1. Kings of Lyon ★
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Better than only having Oshea 🙂

      1. Billy Gilmore
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Potentially 😉

    2. Somalion
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Have two crap ones to sub in but Falcao and ADM (VC) [Costa (C)] to go so if United do the job I may just about rescue my GW.

    3. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights

      seen some teams with 30 points of autosubs/captains to come in after the games, i've got -2 to come in!

        Di Maria is the real worry for most. Third of the top 10K have him as VC.

          And 91% own him. But a haul could help me win £1k in UFPL

            92% don't own mata. hopefully it's like arsenal newcastle monday night football end of last season where ozil is mata and adm is ramsey

      And 65-75% of captains 😯

    Innsie … question for you brother! And any others who care to share a thought … the winner gets a lollypop after next GW!

    Forster Mannone
    Dier Baines Clyne Naylor Moreno
    Siggy Fabregas Sterling ADM Boyd
    Costa Pelle Welbeck

    2FTS and 0.2 ITB

    I want Aguero and i want to lose Moreno … and I've got a serious eye on Diame

    1) Costa & Moreno > Aguero & Hutton (0.1 short of Chambers)
    2) Welbeck & Moreno & Fabregas > Aguero & Diame & Chambers (-4)
    3) Costa & Fabregas > Aguero & Chadli / Diame (bank the cash and have a giggle)
    4) Other ……

    Penny for your thoughts?

      Man that's a tough one. It really depends how willing you are to lose Costa. You have a lot of money in defence so 1 looks good. I think 2 is a bit extreme, Welbeck is a good option still, but Aguero is getting close to essential so I can understand your dilemma.

      1 or 3 with Chadli IMO. Sorry I'm not much help, the doubts around Costa make this really tricky. 😆

    Can't believe how lucky people have been with Costa (C) Aguero/Pelle (VC)
