As always, our Sunday members’ regular delves into the data of the matches played out so far. This time around, Arsenal’s attack, Swansea’s in-form frontman, the Hammers’ raiding left-back and Southampton’s new wide man are amongst our evening assessment.

      This will ruine all for me now...

      He will be fine.

      Retro FPL?

  2. Bobby_Baggio
    12 years, 6 days ago

    Sorry lost on last page:

    Is this move silly? Have 2 FT

    Costa > Berahino
    Siggy > Sanchez or Eriksen

    1. Sebbo29
      12 years, 6 days ago

      exactly the moves I am considering but with Hendo out iso Siggy - not silly at all imo but will wait for Costa news first. Don't want to risk selling him before QPR unless I am 100% certain he won't play. BTW, Sanchez over Eriksen for me

    Krul Myhill
    Terry Clyne Wisdom Vlaar Bruce
    Haz Adm Siggy Sterling Wanyama

    Good to save the FT this week?
    I don't see any real benefit of following the siggy/sterling fire sale

    1. Hank Scorpio
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Unless you can afford to draft in Alexis Sanchez for Siggy or Sterling, then save yes.

      1. Jacques The Lad
        12 years, 6 days ago

        only 0.3ITB, would require some major surgery to get Alexis in

    2. Captain Peacock
      12 years, 6 days ago

      I agree. Save.

  4. Gunner77-
    12 years, 6 days ago

    With Siggy doubtful, Costa injured and Sakho out for a month I really don't know what to do...
    Any help?

    Heaton (Mannone)
    Clyne Chambers Wisdom (Duff, Wilson)
    Hazard ADM Sterling Siggy (Boyd)
    Sakho Costa Aguero

    2FT, £0.5 ITB

    1. Christina.
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Jebus relax. You have 2 FT and the Sakho scan results are not even out yet.

      It's easy to fix.

      Sakho out for a month? Link please.

      1. Christina.
        12 years, 6 days ago

        🙄

        There is no link...just articles saying they are worried and await scan results.

        look above.... not 100% but it is rumoured

      3. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        12 years, 6 days ago

        Ok I've just seen the Mirror 'first' headline. Let's wait for something official.

    3. THE Wild Rover
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Siggy and Costa will be fine next week

      1. FISSH
        12 years, 6 days ago

        hopefully Costa won't 🙁

    4. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Surely Costa will be back next weekend?

      1. Jacques The Lad
        12 years, 6 days ago

        I dunno, they've got enough quality to trounce QPR without costa, and I'm sure mou will still try to mess with Spain before the intentional break

  5. Hank Scorpio
    12 years, 6 days ago

    Is Steven Taylor now an option at 3.9m?

    Or would you expect Williamson to come back in?

    Newcastle have won both games since Taylor came in.

    1. Don Look Back in Wenger
      12 years, 6 days ago

      yup taylor is nailed on with that kind of performance.

      1-0 to liverpool and he will clinch that place of his

      1. Hank Scorpio
        12 years, 6 days ago

        Worth keeping an eye on then.....those 0.1s can be handy at times.

    2. Fader
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Thing I'm worried about is they get beat by Pool and then next 2 games (WBA / QPR) Williamson gets....

    3. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Too risky to guess in my view, maybe the midweek cup game will give us more of a clue.

    4. Captain Peacock
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Williamson is pants but Pardew, being an idiot, will probably bring him back in.

  6. Kings of Lyon ★
    12 years, 6 days ago

    Any ideas lads?

    Krul
    Baines Moore Wilson
    Sterling Hazard (c) Siggi Tadic
    Costa Aguero (vc) Welbeck

    4. Funkyav
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Wait on Costa and siggy news. I would prob give sterling another week (I am anyway) as they have newcase next and need a result.

    5. Puyol Pants Up
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Save

    6. Logic
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Bar Baines, defense is too week

  7. Fader
    12 years, 6 days ago

    Williamson probably back this weekend. Does S.Taylor get dropped? Maybe wait until after Liverpool game (WBA / QPR) and then bring him in?

  8. FISSH
    12 years, 6 days ago

    bit bummed I used 2FT's for Aguero and Eriksen, both did squat.

    1. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 6 days ago

      As did almost everyone. One of those weeks

    2. FPL Emu
      12 years, 6 days ago

      You made good transfers

    3. Make United Great Again
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Was probably best to get Kun because of his price, and he's a long term investment.

    4. Captain Peacock
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Patience, boyo (or lass).

      1. kitier katba
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 6 days ago

        appreciate the acknowledgement of a possible lass

  9. Scoredelario
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 6 days ago

    Amazes me how inconsistent arsenal, liverpool, manu, spurs, Everton and to some extent man city have been.

    You'd expect a fair few of them to average 2 points per game

    1. FPL Emu
      12 years, 6 days ago

      They will to an increasing degree.

    2. Somalion
      12 years, 6 days ago

      They will more and more, marathon not a sprint. However, I think players come back a little weird after a World Cup so some of the teams you mention probably have a number of players underperforming.

      1. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 6 days ago

        I'm wondering where all the points have gone! I guess bottom half teams doing better than usual. Points spread out across the table, except for villa and qpr!

        1. Scoredelario
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          12 years, 6 days ago

          Erm Burnley not villa

          1. Somalion
            12 years, 6 days ago

            This seems to happen, a number of players aren't returning quite what you'd expect and some teams as a whole look entirely different at the moment (Pool, City have been shaky as well etc.) Sure look at RVP and his struggle to find form.

    3. athreya
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Doesn't amaze me at all. Except for city. Rest are either chronically inconsistent or going through transition.

    4. Solenya
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Yup. Such a nice year for a surprise top4 finisher and/or some fallen giants(read utd) to make top4.

      1. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 6 days ago

        United are amazingly lucky not to be further adrift. Saying that they's had by far the easiest fixtures until yesterday so rather than narrowing the gap could widen

        1. Solenya
          12 years, 6 days ago

          Yup. Has been a nice settling in period for us, been lucky in that regard. But the way pool and spurs have fared thus far, I suppose we've a little bit more quality to get past the line. Atleat that's what I hope.

          1. Barry Woj
            12 years, 6 days ago

            Yesterday was a good start in that sense I think. Easily the best Utd performance of the season and with no Rooney, Falcao or Jones.

            1. Solenya
              12 years, 6 days ago

              Yes. Though as renowned as he is for his tactics and organisation, I am still a bit disappointed at how we've defended. Plus some of the naive and unintelligent play from DiMaria concerns me, there's a lot riding on him being clinical and ruthless.

  10. mouldy_uk
    12 years, 6 days ago

    Forster / Mannone
    Trippier / Clyne / Lovren / Pieters / Wisdom
    Fábregas / Tadic / Di María / Boyd / Sigurdsson
    Diego Costa / Agüero / Naismith

    1 FT, 0.7 itb

    Not sure what to do this week, thoughts please:

    (a) Naismith OUT - Eto'o IN
    (b) ADM OUT - Sanchez IN
    (c) Pieters OUT - Jagielka IN
    (d) None
    (e) Other???

    1. Captain Peacock

      A

    3. Sebbo29
      12 years, 6 days ago

      e) Naismith to Berahino

  11. Captain Peacock
    12 years, 6 days ago

    Which non-template mid is going to score the most in the next three weeks? Alexis? Tadic? Mane? Eriksen? Downing?

    1. Grumpy Camel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Mane/Sanchez

      1. Qubit
        12 years, 6 days ago

        This is the best call. I went for Eriksen over Mane last week due to better fixtures - now wish i hadnt!

    2. BeardedOldMan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Mane, matic or Milner. Maybe even adam?

      1. BeardedOldMan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 6 days ago

        Actually if you're counting Sanchez as non template...

        1. Captain Peacock
          12 years, 6 days ago

          I am. Fab Angel Sig Sterling.

      2. Captain Peacock
        12 years, 6 days ago

        Milner? Surely you jest.

        1. BeardedOldMan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          12 years, 6 days ago

          Yeah, just going for the alliteration!

          1. BeardedOldMan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            12 years, 6 days ago

            Just had a look at his stats though... Interesting positions played over the last 4 games, and has had a few shots, 3 on target. Widely regarded as fpl dead wood though

    3. Tissetroldene
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Tadic

  12. Valar(Keith)

      Krul, Foster and Siggy. They all survived a WC too.

      Costa and Chester went out for GW9

      1. Fabreghastly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 6 days ago

        More a function of not playing WC than patience

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

      Krul Foster Clyne Hutton Duff Fabregas Marney

      Admittedly my bench is full of 4 of them each week so not exactly the patience of a saint

    11. Sebbo29
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Only Clyne & Costa here, WC already played

    12. johnbarnes
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Bego, Gilks, Terry, PVA, Siggy, Sterling, Hazard, Marney, Diego Costa, Pellé. I need to seriously start making transfers.

      1. Valar(Keith)
        12 years, 6 days ago

        Nice.. most of those guys delivered over the 9 weeks too.

        1. BeardedOldMan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          12 years, 6 days ago

          Terry is the surprie for me - that's patience

          1. johnbarnes
            12 years, 6 days ago

            My theory is that in this game you always have to have a Chelsea defender when Mourinho is the coach. At the end of the season, they'll be on top of those CS rankings. I was considering going for Azpi at some point but thankfully dodged that bullet. Keep in mind that against CRY and MUN, JT should have had 7 and 8 points - if only they could defend in the last minutes as well. So I reckon I'm keeping him.

    13. Stoke me a Clipper
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Krul, Begovic, Van Aanholt, Wisdom, Sterling, Siggy, Jones, Pelle

      And I , like you, finally got bored of the mind games and ditched Costa this week who I'd had from the start

    14. Sean
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Hazarrd or sanchez?

    15. Jönny
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Siggy, Clyne, Taylor only for me. (Having wildcarded a while back)

    Man Utd were 1 point better off at this stage last season under Moyes

    1. Captain Peacock

      Probably had played a harder schedule too.

      1. Scoredelario

        And hardly bought anyone 😳

      playing much worse football tho

    4. Somalion
      12 years, 6 days ago

      At this stage last season Liverpool still hadn't bought Balotelli to replace Suarez.

      Think about that, boyo! 😉

  14. mouldy_uk
    12 years, 6 days ago

    Could really do with a defender dropping to 3.8, any chance of that happening?

    1. FatmanAndRobin
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Doubt it, Saylor at 3.9 is your best value at the moment

  15. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
    12 years, 6 days ago

    What can I do with this team? Midfield looks very weak.
    1FT 0.6ITB

    Krul (Elliot)
    Clyne | Berty | Baines | (Hutton)(Moore)
    Adm | Barkley | Sterling | Siggy | (Cattermole)
    Costa | Aguero | Welbeck

    1. hobocopter
      12 years, 6 days ago

      thats the issue with a costa aguero welbeck frontline (that i suffer from myself). Who can you bring in up front for Costa if you upgrade either barkley or siggy to Sanchez?

      1. Stoke me a Clipper
        12 years, 6 days ago

        Berahino, Sakho

  16. FISSH
    12 years, 6 days ago

    for the coming weeks who is more important?

    Sanchez or Costa?

    1. kimoo
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Costa

    2. Gunner77-
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Alexis

    3. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 6 days ago

      The momentum is with Sanchez but the weekend brings a new perspective

  17. Logic
    12 years, 6 days ago

    I hav brought in Hazard © for ADM, what do u think of that move?

    1. Kings of Lyon ★
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Solid pick. Im actually looking at getting ADM next week though

      1. Logic
        12 years, 6 days ago

        Don't, not value for money. he aint a scorer. dont be deceived by his start

    2. Jacques The Lad
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Hard to say without knowing the rest of the team, but since you've done it, it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks you just have to make your peace with it

    3. Gunner77-
      12 years, 6 days ago

      That Fabregas always scores more points than him...

      1. Logic
        12 years, 6 days ago

        Already have fabregas

    4. FPL Touches
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Pretty good, could work out very well indeed. Best to wait a little longer on big transfers like that though just in case Haz picks up an injury mid-week

    5. Holmes
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Not so great

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

      Brilliant on paper - but he's managed to somehow miss out on the points in the real world

    7. Logic
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Trust me on this ADM is done, he ain't a fantasy kinda player, he is another silva...

  18. FPL Touches

    Team looks, great for next week as well 😀

      Nice work man, on 4k myself so not complaining 🙂

      1. FPL Touches
        12 years, 6 days ago

        Yeah, always better to get up the ranks early, I'm usually languishing around 150k at this point 😆

  19. Concrete
    12 years, 6 days ago

    Bertrand to Chambers
    PVA to S Taylor

    Over the next couple of GW frees up 1.2 giving me 3 ITB

    Yes to no?

    1. Buck The Trent
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Not sure if S Taylor is nailed on long term

    2. kimoo

      YES

      1. Think Tank

    Krul
    Baines, Clyne, Bertrand
    Sterling, Fab, Siggy, ADM
    Pelle, Aguero, Welbeck
    Subs: Foster, Naylor, Hutton, Catermole

    Thinking of:-
    a) ADM/Siggy -> Sanchez/Chadli (-4)
    b) ADM -> Sanchez
    c) Siggy -> Chadli

    Have exact money for (a) and (b).

      I'd either hold, or go for B if you want to captain Sanchez. Long term I'd say Sanchez and ADM are even, but this week Sanchez has a big edge.

        Thanks, brought ADM at 10 so can perhaps afford to lose him for a couple of weeks. Think he is worth getting back though as ManU do have some good games doing up. Hopefully Wally will be back by then.

    Front 8
    Adm Sterling Siggy Chadli Obertan
    Kun Costa Welb

    Best move for this week, lads?

    A Adm to Haz
    B Siggy to Oscar
    C both A and B (-4)
    D Adm, Sterling to Sanchez, Oscar (-4)

    Currently on B or C because ADM has a decent fixture after citeh. If C, I will buy back ADm in GW 11

      I'd go for B personally. If Man U score more often than not ADM is involved. Citeh are not that great at the back this year so he could pick up points. With Oscar you're covered for a points haul for Chelski against QPR.... simples

      Why is picking other peoples teams so much easier than you're own..........

      I cant decide on:

      A) Siggy --> Erikssen
      B) Sterling & Siggy --> Sanchez & Cheap Mid (Brunt/Diame) for -4

    Is it possible, and when if it is that any goalkeeper will drop to 3.8 ?

    1. Think Tank

      Unlikely, goalies don't get much transfer traffic.

      Very unlikely this season.

      January at least IMO.
      More activity by that time, when people sort their GK issues with the free wildcard.

    Costa>Welbeck

    Yes or no?

    1. Solenya
      12 years, 6 days ago

      Not for me, unless it's absolutely short term. Nothing I've seen thus far from Welbeck fills me with any kind of confidence bar his fixtures.

    2. kimoo
      12 years, 6 days ago

      You mean who gonna score more pts this GW

      A- Costa v.s QPR

      B- Welbeck v.s Burnley

      1. johnbarnes
        12 years, 6 days ago

        I mean, I don't know if Costa'll play. So I'm waiting anyway. But the idea is that selling Costa would allow me to finance PVA>Baines. My defence now is Terry, Bertie, PVA, Dummett, Hutton. Shambles.

  24. FatmanAndRobin

    Good moves below for a -4?

    Kompany -> Chambers
    Sterling -> Hazard

    1. Holmes
      12 years, 6 days ago

      No. Kompany and Sterling are better

  25. DRY PEANUT
    12 years, 6 days ago

    Bring in Costa for free or Aguero for -4

    Both have nice fixtures, would have to downgrade Siggy to a 5m midfielder

  26. JPeg
    12 years, 6 days ago

    Any chance any of the 4.2M DEFs will drop this week?!

    1. TorresMagic™

      Duff is the closest around -50%

        Cheers. What source are you using?

    Wanted to swap ADM out but then saw that after this week he has 5 home games in 8.. that too
    CPL HULL STK LIV NEW

    Juicy!
    the derby should have goals in it too

      No point in knee-jerking him out for Sanchez this GW, just to want him back in GW11

    3. Logic
      12 years, 6 days ago

      For me he isn't a fantasy prospect, only brought him for qpr. & since i hav been looking for a way to get him out. ... + there has been too much luck attached to his goals & assists

      I've done Tadic to Sanchez yesterday so I'm good. Hopefully Costa will fall in price too.
