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

      11 years, 1 month ago

      1. bakayoko
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        kun is the optimal choice but hazard can really upset and boost me,but i dont really need to chase points im doing pretty will, im going crazyyyyyy i think im jsut gonna draw names of a hat

        1. ronmadpirlo
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Hazard is too risky I think

          1. bakayoko
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            ok costa cap n kun vice ?

    You know what would be very amusing? If Drogba, Oscar, Schurrle, and Willian scored the goals for Chelsea this weekend.

    Right, back from exile

    I was contemplating Aguero capt, however their terrible form , the Silva injury , and the united resurgence has me going off Aguero

    Problem is

    Dont trust Welbeck with the band
    Fab is too not explosive enough

    who the hell else is there? There only one i can think of . the Big C yet im trying to avoid bringing him in

    1. bombayblues
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez?

    2. ronmadpirlo
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez then

    3. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard for me. Your thinking Sanchez!

    4. Najoman86
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Costa!

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        dont have sanchez

        1. ronmadpirlo
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Aguero much better option than Welbeck or Fabregas

  4. bombayblues
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Team is as follows:
    Begovic. (Krul)
    Cahill. Chambers. Clyne. Jagielka. (PVA)
    Hazard. Sterling. Sigurdsson. Silva.(Marney)
    Pelle. Aguero. Berahino

    .2 ITB. 1 FT

    How does Silva + Sigurdsson ---> Sanchez + Amalfitano sound?

    1. ronmadpirlo
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      decent but only if amalfitano is going to keep his starting spot

  5. Sol
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    RMT please is it good for W 10

    Krul

    Baines Wisdom Wilson (Hurtton Duff)
    Sanchez Siggy Fab Stirling
    Welbz Costa Aguero

    1. Jay_
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yep all good , Krul to get a double figure haul I think

      • ronmadpirlo
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Good now try to upgrade at least 1 defender soon

        1. bakayoko
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          ron u saying sanchez is worrying me now ,i got hazard instead of sanchez

          1. ronmadpirlo
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            good luck we know hazard is capable so he should do well long term - wouldnt captain him yet though

        2. Sol
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          thinking to get Hull Goali and save .05 and then do Wilson > Alderwereirld what you think ?

      Just read trigger's article. I've gone through a similar thought process and descent into insanity, except a lot worse because I'm on a wildcard!

      The main issue is

      a) Costa v Pelle

      and the various effects that has on the rest of my team, as well as

      b) Fab v Haz v ADM

          Since I've plugged your article you might as well give me some feedback on my struggles 😀

              11 years, 1 month ago

                No problem, just wasn't sure if you were having a dig about something.
                I reckon you'll plump for Hazard btw.

                1. Twelve years a slave
                  • 15 Years
                  11 years, 1 month ago

        Posted this earlier in the week but ...
        Who to Captain ?
        Hazard
        Sanchez

        1. MisterMaster
          • 11 Years

        4. Zasa
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Sanchez if I had him, currently on Hazard though

        11 years, 1 month ago

        A defence of Bertrand, Kaboul and Dawson be ok for this week? Begovic in goal.

        1. Najoman86
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Kaboul & Dawson away to Villa & Leicester respectively; could do worse. Who are your other DEFs?

          1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Mangala and Tomkins. Draft side and a bit reluctant to drop any.

            1. Get up ya bum
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              yeah might get a cs or two there

            2. Najoman86
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Stick with that lot

      • Najoman86
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Begovic
        Clyne Bertrand Wilson
        Fabregas ADM Sterling Sigurdsson
        Costa(c) Aguero(vc) P.Cisse
        McCarthy Moore Boyd Naylor

        2FTs| 0.2m in the bank

        Naylor & P.Cisse > Chambers & Berahino?

        Any other transfers to consider?

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

        If I had foster and guzan in my squad, I would start guzan with a far superior fixture.

        Guzan has far superior long term fixtures

        Therefore guzan is a better goalkeeper to buy right now.

        Riiight?

        1. ronmadpirlo
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Villa lost their last 5 games though

          1. bakayoko
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            good luck to u too

        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Aguero or Costa captain?

        Tempted to go Costa (C) with Aguero vice.

        1. Twelve years a slave
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Costa all day

          1. bakayoko
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            im just worried costa will only get few min only

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

              Could easily still score

        2. Najoman86
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          That's the plan for the upcoming GW - Costa(C)/Aguero(VC)

        3. Shifty
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Costa. Worth the risk imo. Hopefuly know more come Friday but all signs are that he will play a good chunk of the game.

      • laGan1n1

        Good morning!
        Pelle to Costa & Sterling to Chadli for -4 worth it?

        Or should i just make Siggy to Chadli?

      • Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I looked at Sissoko before tonights game and after his goal tonight he's defo worth a look but not easy to take a punt with the other mids available.
        Anybody got him?

        1. davies
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I think anyone with Sissoko won't be on this site.

          1. Gnu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Probably not but another performance against Liverpool and he'll be on most radars.

            1. Don Look Back in Wenger
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              another sakho in the making perhaps?

        2. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          he's a bit crap mate. You get what you pay for i supppose

          1. Gnu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            He seems to play well in patchs, a bit like most Toon players I guess.

        3. Shifty
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Puntmaster likes Sissoko

        4. Zasa
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I liked his play better at Toulousse, granted he was way more defensive minded on that team

        5. chrisjdgrady
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Remember when he first arrived in the pl and ripped it up... That was fantasy gold right there. Wish he'd find form like that again.

      • New Ghost

        evening lads. been out of the loop.

        do we think costa will play (and start) against qpr? I have enough money in the bank to buy him.

        cheers.

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          sup doc 🙂
          Should do. All guess work. Who will you sell?

          1. New Ghost
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            hey champster.

            pelle (yikes!) or berahino (for a hit, downgrade sterling to chadli)

            what do you reckon? should I just do sterling to hazard?

            1. Get up ya bum
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              wait for pressers mate but maybe just roll over your ft. hazard appeals but i imagine that locks you out of costa? Dont sell pelle

              1. New Ghost
                • 13 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                kinda scary not having any chelsea for qpr at home haha

                cheers for the advice

        Courtois
        Baines Clyne Moore
        ADM Sterling Siggy Chadli
        Aguero (c) Costa (vc) Welbeck

        Albrighton / Wisdom / Coloccini

        1 FT // 0 ITB

        1. Shifty
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          would you swap the c and vc if Costa cleared fit to start?

          1. davies
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Possibly. Depends on Silva's fitness.

            1. Don Look Back in Wenger
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              already did that. went from kun C to sanchez now. thanks to silva fitness issue, dang

        2. Edmond
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I would probably start Wisdom ahead of Moore. Other than that, good to go.

      • Call Me Old Fashioned
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Not sure what to do this week..

        DDG
        Cahill Chambers Clyne
        ADM Siggy Sterling Tadic
        Aguero Costa Welbeck(C)

        Hamer Marney Chester Moore

        0.0 in bank. 1FT

        Tempted by DDG--->cheaper GK but no one else stands out. Could get Boyd for Marney but inclined to save FT

        1. bigbudgie
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Cahill is the obvious one to me that could do with changing to someone with more of a goal threat

          1. Call Me Old Fashioned
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            cant see it being worth it with QPR(H) next

            DDG--->Guzan gives exact money for Cahill--->Baines (assuming Baines doesn't rise beyond 7.2)

            1. Don Look Back in Wenger
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              peril at stake by ignoring baines imo, man u defence is so unreliable i think u should do the move before its outta reach

              1. Call Me Old Fashioned
                • 14 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                I can do it for -4 this week or free over 2

                1. Don Look Back in Wenger
                  • 16 Years
                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  he probably staying at that price atm, but come saturday i doubt he will stay
                  afford to wait? else just do it and sit tight

              I;d fancy Adrian over Guzan IMO

                Actually that could be a good shout, nice run they got until GW17

        They are just now showing the TOT game here in the US, and I just saw Soldado hit the post......again

        Help out a guy in his first season of taking this game seriously (a few of us casuals in the ML have gotten bored with the same smart-arse winning every year).

        Top of ML by 30 odd points, and still have WC in tact whilst all my rivals have used theirs. Now I really need to use this as a stick to beat them with. It's my understanding that everyone gets a January wildcard on top of the regular one which must be used in that month or it goes wasted. Best strategy would be:

        A) WC mid Nov/early Dec to take advantage of form/fixtures then use Jan WC to set up for rest of season
        B) Hold regular WC until after Jan and season run in
        C) something else?

        Anyone else in similar position?

          Also could wait til a double game week, either to setup or reset afterward

          just keep it till you feel you will benefit a lot by playing it.

        Krul

        Bertrand PVA Baines

        Sterling Eriksen Tadic Haz (c)

        Aguero Lukaku Welbz

        suggestions ?

          how are you doing this seasons Lagan1n1? Recall you had a stormer last season.

          Aanyone to play instead of pva? I would prefer Pelle over Lukaku personally.

          1. laGan1n1

            248k OR

            i had slow start (read my experiment with Lamela, Balo, Kolarov and N'Zogbia...)

            yeah, last year this time i was 338 OR

            have Wisdom and Duff, but i think PVA will deliver

            1. Shifty
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Would question if PVA is worth it though. Strings of 1s, 0s don't make a random goal or assist worth it personally. Sunderland are bereft of confidence at the moment.

              I would play Wisdom personally.

              1. laGan1n1
                • 13 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                i think he is their the best player this season and really rate that fella

                he is very talented and attacking, shame he plays for Sunderland (no offence)

        any of you Brits watching the World Series? San Fran 3 Royals 2. 2 outs and a man on a 3rd to tie the game in the bottom of the 9th

            I'm watching , on that error he should have tried to run home

              yea in hindsight it prob wouldve given KC a better chance but at the moment the best you could hope for is that your next batter gets a hit and therefore an RBI. Not a fan of either team, or baseball for that matter but I did occasionally flip to this game 7 today.

                gordon should have gone around to hom plate. just for kicks.kaybe he woulda made it.

          After the shooting, documents state that Sinclair texted his friend and said “he won’t be able to participate in fantasy football this season.” He also texted his mother and two brothers telling them he loved them.

          Sinclair was charged with first degree murder, murder of an unborn child, and tampering with evidence.

          Mind blowing that Villa haven't scored in almost 500 minutes.
          Surely Benteke will break that soon though, so many header against QPR. pity Cole blocked his one open chance

          1. Twelve years a slave
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Well im plying Kaboul , so they sure to score this week

          2. RubeRx

            • 11 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Villa don't have a legit #10, they need some type of playmaker to feed Benteke/Agbonlahor some through balls. Perhaps they will net one this weekend at home vs Spurs

          Double up on Everton defence for next 3 and Sot?

          1. Don Look Back in Wenger
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            yeah jags is a good alternative or additional cover for eve def. probably will ditch clyne for him once fixture worsen for soton

          Hello all, didn't get any reply last time.

          is it worth to make, Pelle to Costa & Sterling to Chadli for -4
          or
          Just Siggy to Chadli straight?

          Cheers

            You lost me at Pelle. He's worth holding for the foreseeable.

            Perhaps Sterling to Chadi though that could go either way.

          • 13 Years

          Get the feeling Costa is going to run riot this weekend and those on the fence (like me) will suffer dearly. Just hard to justify a hit to take Berahino out!

          Urgghhh... anyone else feel that way?

          1. Flying Dutchman
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Im sure Costa will be much better than Berahino. Long term or short term

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

              Yeah and they're the same price too which makes things convenient

          2. laGan1n1
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            nope

            im very confident with my Haz (c) and no Costa in team

            1. ILOVEBAPS
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Well that's good! makes me feel a bit better not owning him. Though last time I had this feeling I didn't get Aguerro and then he kicks 4.

              I've got it on Fabs at the mo.

                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  Nah don't think so. Guess I should look into how to fix it now.

            I'm thinking Welbeck will run riot as bad as he is

            1. ILOVEBAPS
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Mmm.. not sold on him yet. Sanchez is a different matter.
              Great that we have so many options this season though 🙂

          4. Twelve years a slave
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Very much so, i would have to take Pelle out to get him
            Im thinking plan B flooding the midfield with chelsea players to compensate

            1. ILOVEBAPS
              • 13 Years

              At the expense of ??? ADM??

              Turning Siggi into hazard has to make my team better right?
              Although Siggi does have some decent fitures soon

              1. Twelve years a slave
                • 15 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                Siggi hazard
                Moreno Chambers

                have .2 left after that. The costa money allows it

              2. ILOVEBAPS
                • 13 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                Siggy is 3 GW's away from a decent fixture... unless you think he is fixture proof.
                I'm reading a lot of love for Hazard but I'd rather my Fabs. Must have at least one imo.

                  i already have fabs too

                    • 15 Years
                    11 years, 1 month ago

                    its a counteract Costa strategy

        7. skodaole2
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I did Cazorla+ Lallana -> Hazard + Tadic (-4)
          Ready to go now? Who should i captain?

          Heaton(Mannone)
          Baines, Clyne, Moore (Wisdom, Naylor)
          ADM, Sterling, Hazard, Tadic (Boyd)
          Aguero, Pelle, Sakho

          Sakho wont play so Boyd or Wisdom as first sub ?
