The season could barely have started brighter for Raheem Sterling after the youngster grabbed two goals and an assist in the opening three Gameweeks for Liverpool. With Daniel Sturridge sidelined ever since, however, Sterling has struggled to replicate his early form, scoring just once and earning a pair of assists in the subsequent six Gameweeks.

Despite a weekend showdown against Newcastle on his agenda, Sterling is the most sold player in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game, with over 65,000 owners parting company in order to acquire the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Dusan Tadic and Cesc Fabregas.

In our second members article of the week, we take a look at his displays with and without Sturridge on the park in order to ascertain just why he’s failed to deliver.

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

      I wouldn't get Welbeck in tbh, in fact another blank and I'm looking at shipping him.

      1. Back to Back Ballacks
        • 15 Years

        short term punt, mor than likely sell in about weeks, could explode

    Is Aguero suspension still possible or did the ship sail on that?

    Repost:
    In case people think that they should sub out Aguero to accommodate Costa based solely on the fact that Silva is out...

    PL games Silva missed last year:
    GWs 4-6, 11-15, 20, 26, 36

    Aguero featured in all but 2 of those games, for a total of 9 games and his stats for those games:
    6 goals and 1 assist*

    These games also included the 4-1 thrashing of United where he scored 2.

    *note this is from transfermarkt so maybe he had other FPL assists as well (non-Opta accounted for)

    1. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Best striker in the league. In the team when fit, no easy he gets sold.

      1. Breadbin
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        *way.

        1. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Mostly for people with Kun, Pelle, Welbz and trying to find a way to fit in Costa. Personally I'm happy with those 3 for this week so willing to take the risk and go without for a few more GWs.

    2. The Hound
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I wasn't thinking of the trade but it put me of aguero (c). Thanks for the data, surprising.

    3. Guidinho
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Navas, Nasri can easily provide the ammo. The question is will this force Pelli to change his formation and play 2 up top, say Dzeko. That seems to be the main thing that might affect Aguero's output

  8. ZakAFC_
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Any Ideas?

    Foster (Krul)
    Baines - Clyne - Wisdom (Hutton - Duff)
    Tadic - Sterling - Hazard - Siggy (Boyd)
    Agüero - Costa - Berahino

    2FT, 0.7m ITB

    Should i captain sanchez or costa?

    1. xuwei
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'm trying to stick with the captain I've had all week and not make last second changes - currently on Costa for me. I had Sanchez (C) the last two weeks and worried about going to the well once too often....

  10. Rui
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Evening. Looking to bring Sanchez or Hazard in my team:

    Guzan (McCarthy)
    Clyne Bertrand Chambers (Duff, Naylor)
    Fab ADM Sterling Siggy (Boyd)
    Costa Aguero Welbeck

    0.5m ITB, 2 FT.

    A) Sterling --> Sanchez, Bertrand --> Moore, or
    B) Sterling --> Hazard, Siggy --> Downing
    (Can't bring both Sanzhez and Downing in due to funds).

    Cheers!

    Good week to save an FT.

    big fixture changes coming so may be worth keeping 2 banked, and impending bans for a few players when they get a yc before an easy game we've been keeping them for... Tactics

  12. Beavis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Almost impossible that Haz rises tonight but who knows this year? Sterling > Haz tonight I think as I won't be able to do it if any other prices change.

          • 14 Years

          Nah just going without regardless for the next 2-3. Can't justify losing any of Kun, Welbz or Pelle this week.

    2. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Might as well. He's as nailed as Jesus, if you believe that stuff.

    3. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I am about to do exactly the same with silva as another 0.1 prices me out, and i have been mugged off by surprise rises from baines and aguero thus season, so making the move now just on case.

      However, i am doing it with silva who is likely to miss this match. If you get stuck with sterling at least you have a fit player who is still getting forward...

  13. Super Silva
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling to Hazard
    Welbeck to Berahino

    Good moves or bad ?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Getting rid of Welbz before Burnley at home is bonkers.

    2. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Bad.

    3. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Don't like those.

      He must be playing in a joke donkey league now then

  15. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone think Pelle could be the next big thing?

    He has Agueros haircut... Gets in similar positions etc.

    For someone new to the PL he's certainly made his mark

    1. DIegoCosta19
      • 11 Years

      hes 29

      1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS

        Jesus.

        Mods delete this post!

        Comparing him to Diego Costa he looks like an 18 year old!

        1. Breadbin
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Costa looks older than me.

        2. DIegoCosta19
          • 11 Years

          loool. I thought he was like 23-25

    2. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      The next Pogrebnyak more like.

  16. DIegoCosta19
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Captain choices

    Baines
    Fabregas
    Hazard
    Sanchez
    Costa
    Pelle
    Welbeck

    Who would you go for..?

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez looking the best out of those

    2. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Welbeck.

    3. DIegoCosta19

      2. Beavis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Aguero then. 😉

  17. Bielsa's Blue Bucket

    Walcott is gonna score off the bench this week 🙂

  18. st4rt__
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Tadlc or Mane? Will Mane be sound for weekend?

    1. Ser Football 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      tadic...much more involved in the game, on set pieces, corners and pens

      Mane- great shot

      I'd go tadic over mane

    2. Old Boots
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Tadic more involved (on pens & set pieces), nailed on and fit, but Mane has a better ppg so far... and that includes Tadic's monster haul.

      Depends what you'd do with the change I suppose (see my post below)

  19. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    How worried should I be about no Arsenal?

    Really, I don't see huge goals from them, and suspect Burnley will throw the 11 man behind the ball tactic at them.

    No room for an arse in my team anyway! (Except Walcott for his inevitable 4GW 6 goals before injury run)

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      see above

  20. starbows
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Lovren or Chambers?

    1. Old Boots
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Chambers for now and pocket the cash. Could make a bit of money before Debuchy's return if they start getting clean sheets.

  21. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    So Silva & Yaya wouldn't play the Derby ?

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Potentially not.

      City without Yaya are usually awful...

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        They've been awful for a while now with Yaya. Let's see if Pellegrini is more than a steady hand and benches Yaya on Sunday. A ruthless top end manager would do just that.

        1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          You are right.

          I need them to strangle supply to the angel at the weekend though... So want everyone available!

  22. Van Dal
    • 15 Years

    Sanchez rise tonight?

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Doesn't look like it mate, then again it didn't on Monday either.

  23. Demel
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    What direction would you look to take this team?

    Begovic
    Baines - Chambers - Wisdom
    Hazard - Sterling - Siggy - Tadic
    Costa - Aguero - Wellbeck

    Elliott - Boyd - Hutton - Duff

    Bank £0.4m

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Up the ranks preferably.

      I'd probably save FT mate.

      1. Demel
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. I don't have a transfer left. Just a bit stuck on direction for future transfers.

        1. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          There aren't any glaring weaknesses. Before + Tadic in a few weeks time, as well as maybe Welbeck if he blanks this week. Up to you on Sterling really, I shipped him but he could just as easily score well.

  24. Wings Fan
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Any news on whether Siggy will be fit for the weekend?

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Should be. Was apparently not serious and just wasn't risked in the cup.

      1. Wings Fan
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Thought as much.

        Who to sacrifice for Hazard? ADM or Sterling? Leaning towards ADM at the moment.

        1. Granville
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I'm sacrificing Sterling.

          1. Wings Fan
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            That's made my mind up then.

            ADM goes 😉

  25. Old Boots
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    If Mane is fit to play, which combo looks better?

    A) Baines & Mane
    B) Jagielka & Tadic

    Cheers 🙂

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A comfortably.

    Good to go?
