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

    Krul / Elliot
    Azpi / Clyne / Van Aanholt / Wilson / Hutton
    Hazard / Tadic / Siggy / Downing / King
    Aguero / Falcao / Costa

    1 FT, 0.2m in the bank..

    What would you suggest folks? 🙂

    1. copps
      12 years, 10 days ago

      falcao to pelle,downing to di maria

      1. Moosie the Staggie
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Why would you get ADM for the next few weeks. Horrendous fixtures.

      2. milanista10
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Not affordable. What about Downing and Azpi out for Eriksen and Moore?

        1. Moosie the Staggie
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Sounds good though I would take a punt on taylor at Newcastle. Surely he has a great chance to keep the cb spot after a cleanie, saves 0.1 too

  2. RoyaleBlue

    Hey guys should I hit confirm on Fab and Naismith to Chadli and Pelle ??

    1. NilSatisNisiOptimum16
      12 years, 10 days ago

      What's your squad?

      1. RoyaleBlue
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Forster Mannone
        Baines Bertrand Naylor Duff Moore
        ADM Fab Sterling Chadli Marney
        Naismith Costa Aguero

        Thanks

        1. RoyaleBlue
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Oh and Siggy

          1. NilSatisNisiOptimum16
            12 years, 10 days ago

            I would chill on Chadli...he aint worth getting rid of Fab over mate. Try and work out a way to get Pelle in though.

            But then having said that...you have what you can I think. Unless you downgrade a big hitter.

            I think your done-ish.

            1. NilSatisNisiOptimum16
              12 years, 10 days ago

              *you have all you could rather

              1. RoyaleBlue
                12 years, 10 days ago

                Thanks feel I need a Southampton attacker though

                1. NilSatisNisiOptimum16
                  12 years, 10 days ago

                  Well you do....and I need ADM...but I can't have them all 😉 see what i'm saying.

        2. lespaul
          12 years, 10 days ago

          I'd be shipping Costa asap

  3. Moosie the Staggie
    12 years, 10 days ago

    I hate how itunes infects your computer so I stick with android now.

    1. Moosie the Staggie
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Lol, reply fail

    2. NilSatisNisiOptimum16
      12 years, 10 days ago

      🙂 dirty isn't it!

  4. the axolotl
    12 years, 10 days ago

    aguero. best striker in the world?

    1. TD Champ
      12 years, 10 days ago

      No

      1. the axolotl
        12 years, 10 days ago

        care to elaborate?

        1. copps
          12 years, 10 days ago

          suarez

          1. the axolotl
            12 years, 10 days ago

            aguero is a much better finisher imo. suarez better at making something from nothing.

        2. TD Champ
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Far too inconsistent, really had a bad WC aswell. Suarez is better (not just in creating chances), he slipped through defences for fun last year.

    2. XhakaCan
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Best PvA replacement for 4.5m?

      1. XhakaCan
        12 years, 10 days ago

        sorry, that was meant to be a post 🙂

        1. Hostage
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Yes, I don't think Aguero's going to join Newcastle's back line in the January transfers 🙂

          1. XhakaCan
            12 years, 10 days ago

            Would be a pricey defender for fpl 🙂

      2. RSe
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Dawson or Chambers

        1. XhakaCan
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Thanks 🙂

        2. A guy
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Chambers definetly.

    3. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
      12 years, 10 days ago

      LOL

    4. IL Fantasista
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Everyone knows CR is the best player in the world.

      1. the axolotl
        12 years, 10 days ago

        "striker"

    5. Nigel Tufnel
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Him or Suarez IMO.

    6. Snikii
      12 years, 10 days ago

      top 5

      1. the axolotl
        12 years, 10 days ago

        don't just say that. who's ahead?

    7. XhakaCan
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Perhaps not the best, but he's up there as one of the best.

    8. lespaul
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Messi better than both

      1. the axolotl
        12 years, 10 days ago

        messi is not a stiker. i wasn't including ronaldo or messi. oh well

    9. Give The Todd Some Love
      12 years, 10 days ago

      If you don't class Messi as a striker, then he's the best after Suarez

  5. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
    12 years, 10 days ago

    @BenDinnery: Mourinho confirms Costa will miss the midweek UCL game versus Maribor & has a "chance" for #MUFC albeit "small" #CFC

    1. Deep Sea Amphipod
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Interesting, thanks for this.

    2. Les Bleus
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Oh boy.

    3. RSe
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Had him from the start, seems mad to get rid unless we hear something more concrete so holding for now.

      1. A guy
        12 years, 10 days ago

        same here yeah

    4. Demí
      12 years, 10 days ago

      So basically we know nothing new

    5. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      12 years, 10 days ago

      May have to sell...SO much money tied up in him, though.

    6. Sweetpea
      12 years, 10 days ago

      he[ll start v Utd.....he's being rested not injured

      1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
        12 years, 10 days ago

        That's just guesswork

        1. Sweetpea
          12 years, 10 days ago

          sometimes you have to read between the lines

    7. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      So from the Luxembourg match till United he will have had what nearly two weeks rest? He plays.

    8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      12 years, 10 days ago

      mourinho said he is resting costa for the spain internationals

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        12 years, 10 days ago

        he thinks costa will be 100% by then, wants him fit as a fiddle

  6. Lallana_
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Q1) Who to get rid of? Di Maria or Sterling? Di Maria has tough fixtures, Sterling might get rotated.

    Q2) Best Di Maria/Sterling replacement?

    1) Sanchez
    2) Ramsey
    3) Tadic
    4) Other?

    1. Ady87
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Why would you get rid of Di Maria?

      Scoring goals isn't Uniteds problem it's conceding them. ADM will be fine.

      1. Lallana_
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Fair point but Arsenal, Chelsea and City won't be that big of pushovers. Sanchez has really easy fixtures in comparison.

        1. Ady87
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Yeah and Liverpool's aren't bad either. Is there not a way you can squeeze an Arsenal mid in elsewhere?

          1. Lallana_
            12 years, 10 days ago

            I have Welbeck. Might be enough 😉
            Arsenal aren't goal crazy

    2. A guy
      12 years, 10 days ago

      I'd ship Di Maria, but not yet until Saturday, because he could still rise...I'm thinking of getting one of those 3 in as well. Probably Ramsey, because I can afford him without a hit, but I'd get Sanchez as my frist choice.

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    12 years, 10 days ago

    alarming stats for siggy owners

    1. Ady87
      12 years, 10 days ago

      What stats are those? Could have had 2 assists and a goal in first 30 mins but wasn't to be.

      1. Demí
        12 years, 10 days ago

        He didn't have a single shot today

        1. Ady87
          12 years, 10 days ago

          I was about 6 beers in by this point but I swore I thought he had a chance midway through the first half. (After his 2 potential assist chances if you watched the game)

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

          this is where stats can be poo. he tried to dribble the keeper and messed up so didnt get a shot away. the ball doesn't get away and he's round the keeper and passing into an empty net

          1. Demí
            12 years, 10 days ago

            Fair enough. didn't watch the game so just going by the article

          2. Ady87
            12 years, 10 days ago

            That's the one. Keeper rushed him so he couldn't dink it. Going round the keeper was the best option I think but his touch was too heavy. You are right, stats don't tell the story.

            1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              12 years, 10 days ago

              They do over a period of time, and he is on the slide.

              1. Ady87
                12 years, 10 days ago

                Hmm, I'll keep an eye on them then. From watching it though he set two through on goal with nice through balls and if they had their finishing boots on he would have had another 10 pointer. Got bigger things to worry about at the minute but will be watching Siggy if the stats do suggest that.

    2. Sweetpea
      12 years, 10 days ago

      thinking of getting rid after Lei....

      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 10 days ago

        He will be gone before, for me.

    3. Give The Todd Some Love
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Was through on goal right at the beginning, and could have had a couple of assists. Britannia isn't an easy place to go. You'd be crazy to sell

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        12 years, 10 days ago

        more to do with stats over last 5 gw's

        1. Give The Todd Some Love
          12 years, 10 days ago

          I'm not a member so wouldn't know. He usually looks pretty dangerous when I watch Swansea, so that's good enough for me

  8. Ady87
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Anyone else need a Tadic (minimum) performance out of Di Maria tomorrow?

    Dropped to 441 OR and despite having 18 points on the bench only 2 is coming off in to my first XI. But concerned about the effect of Aguero VCs and bench players hitting my OR!

    1. RSe
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Average score is going to be ridiculously high this week.

      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Bollocks.

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

      441st. Boo hoo.

      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 10 days ago

        +42. Ridiculous.

    3. Les Bleus
      12 years, 10 days ago

      441 OR #FPLproblems

    4. copps
      12 years, 10 days ago

      tough world this dropping to 441. what a tragedy

    5. Ady87
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Eh, who said it was a tragedy you miserable lot? Are you not allowed to discuss ranks and stats on this place unless you have had a shocker?

      1. RoyaleBlue
        12 years, 10 days ago

        No they just don't appreciate complaining when you are not exactly doing bad.

        1. Ady87
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Didn't mean it as a complaint. Just genuinely interested in the thoughts of those in all kinds of positions about what points are due to come from benches and VCs and how that affects us all.

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

        Agreed. When people post "score check?" And have average points it's fine. But with the exact same post with a high amount they are being a fool.

  9. Sweetpea
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Will Taylor rise tonight, he's on 99% on fpl statistics?

    1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      It is just possible. I really hope so.

    2. Pasqualinho
      12 years, 10 days ago

      I'd say no - but could be wrong. With Leicester up next he has a good chance before deadline, though.

  10. NilSatisNisiOptimum16
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Howard/Myhill

    Baines/Naylor/Bert & Clyne/Chambers

    Fab/Sig/Ster/Boyd/Alb

    Costa/Pelle/Aguero

    Just made transfers, i'm done, how is looking fellas?

  11. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Walcott likely to start the next match? Might consider swapping him for Siggy

    1. Fantasy Gold
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Won't know until Thursday

    2. A.T
      12 years, 10 days ago

      No

    3. Snikii
      12 years, 10 days ago

      no

    4. Adams6
      12 years, 10 days ago

      No chance. Wenger will ease him back gently, at least two bench warming matchdays ahead of Theo.

  12. davysteen
    12 years, 10 days ago

    2 FT, 2.0 ITB, thinking wildcard time..thoughts?

    Begovic Gilks

    Help

    1. NilSatisNisiOptimum16
      12 years, 10 days ago

      I think you can save it you know.. Terry & Dzeko out. Straight swaps. Work on your defence the next week. Not worth your WC...regret using mine 2 weeks ago with Aggy coming into form now..Pshhh!!

  13. Balrath123

    437 Total Points.

    What Mid Under 5M Bring In 4 Rotation Have Fab ADM, Sterling, Silva.

    1. Nova

      Wanyama/Cork or Boyd

      1. Balrath123
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Thanks, any opinion on Albrighton Leic or McCarthy at Everton either. Cork & Wanyama seem options too

      Obertan

  14. Fantasy Gold

    Anybody else really getting tempted to smash up the template midfield and transfer out Fabregas?

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

      Never owned Fábregas, never will.

      Di María, Sterling, Tadic, Sigurdsson for the win, 😎

      1. Give The Todd Some Love
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Why don't you like Fabregas?

    2. RoyaleBlue
      12 years, 10 days ago

      To chadli I'm thinking

    3. Shaw must go on
      12 years, 10 days ago

      that already crossed my mind...but i think he's worth it....

      1. copps
        12 years, 10 days ago

        he used to cost 12m at arsenal. 9m is a bargain

        1. NilSatisNisiOptimum16
          12 years, 10 days ago

          It's preference isn't it.. Fab has been consistent and made me some nice cash since start of season, so he is must for me.

        2. chinmusic
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Think he peaked at 11.5. He didn't play in the double pivot there so it's a false comparison.

        3. FPL Daniel
          12 years, 10 days ago

          He played CAM in Arsenal and was on penalties when RVP wasn't fit which was quite often

          1. NilSatisNisiOptimum16
            12 years, 10 days ago

            Parms clearly bitter he/she messed up and didn't catch the Fabwagon from the off 😉 judging by the look off that midfield.

  15. Lallana_
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Costa (C) -->Failed
    Di Maria (v) --> Safe my ass. I even hate Utd.

    1. Rupert The Horse

      Must have a tight bum.

      1. NilSatisNisiOptimum16

        Just spat everywhere with laughter!!

  16. Shaw must go on

          Dixie Dean then. His record season when scored 60 goals, 40 were with his head apparently!

    @Wakey

    Just looked at your table on mids. *sigh* Might have to talk myself back out of dropping Sterling. If only Siggy was worth more . . . .

        S'pose it has a lot to do with how you organise the table. I want very much to be confident in dropping Sterling, but I suppose it will always be a leap of faith.

        Btw,, going to a wine tasting at a Moselle cave in Trier tomorrow. Know anything about Moselle wines? The Rieslings I have tasted (which I generally don't like) have been pretty amazing.

    1. Nigel Tufnel
      12 years, 10 days ago

      A. Love Diame, but his fixtures are ugly for a while.

  20. Keane on fair play
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Wilson, Fab, Ulloa out for Jagielka, Chadli, Pellè.
    Good idea for -4? x)

    My squad is:

    Forster, Guzan
    Clyne, Ivan, Wilson, Duff, Hutton
    Di Maria, Fab, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Cattermole
    Costa, Aguero, Ulloa

  21. Sweetpea

    Looking ahead thinking of skimping on defence with such value to be had.

    Chambers, Alcaraz and Rose.

    Allows Siggy>Ramsey/Feo week after next.....

    1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭

      12 years, 10 days ago

      ... or put one on the entire Liverpool defence? 😉

  23. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Urgh... These transfers I'm tinkering are so small but can have such a huge impact on my performance.

    Just going to get Jagielka in and save an FT I think.

    1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      I am also struggling ...

      1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Really really struggling, have so many choices:

        Clyne + ADM out to get in Flavour of the month Baines + Tadic, but would also really need to sell Moreno at the same time.

        Moreno to Jagielka

        Moreno + Fab to Baines + Eriksen

        Bla bla bla so tough...

        1. TD Champ
          12 years, 10 days ago

          You will regret selling ADM and Clyne!

  24. flashmcintosh
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Is tadic really worth bringing in? I struggle to see why. His stats are awesome but before this week his return is only 3 assists and approx avg of 3.5pts per game. For the 7.6 you could have siggy it chadli and save 1m+ or even super Frank and save 2m.

    Also tough fixtures in a few weeks. I'm defo not jumping on the tadic bandwagon.

    I do wish I had him this gw tho!

      He reminds me of Hazard...enough said..

  25. Nigel Tufnel
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Pick top three midfielders through the end of year...

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Fabregas, Sterling

      Not sure who else...

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

      From now?

      Di María, Sánchez & Sterling.

    3. Give The Todd Some Love
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Fabregas, Di Maria, Sanchez

    4. Nigel Tufnel
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Thinking of using the WC this week. Really want to get Sanchez in but the midfield glut, Costa's mystery injury and fitting in Aguero is doing my head in...current MF is Fab, ADM, Sterling, Siggy and Zaha.

  26. FortunesAlwaysHiding

    12 years, 10 days ago

    Is Alcaraz nailed on?

    1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      No, Sir. He ain't.

    Sterling Fabregas Sigurdsson Di Maria

    @BenDinnery: Mourinho confirms Costa will miss the midweek UCL game versus Maribor & has a "chance" for #MUFC albeit "small" #CFC

    1. Adams6
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Means nothing. Hes a bloody liar anyway.

  30. Wave of Mutilation
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Considering freeing up funds for eventual move back to Costa after shipping him for Aguero Friday night (I plan to keep Kun). Also don't like the looks of Liverpool. Thoughts on the following?

    1) Sterling >

    C) Chadli
    E) Eriksen
    T) Tadic

    2) Moreno >

    C) Chambers
    D) Dawson
    R) Rose (or Kaboul, I suppose)
    T) Tomkins

    I already have Naylor, the other obvious suspect in this price bracket. Thanks for weighing in.
