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

    Thoughts on my team lads?

    Forster
    Baines. Clyne. Wisdom
    Hazard. Fabregas. Adm. Siggy
    Aguero. Pelle. Welbeck.

    Subs. Elliott. Moore. Duff. Marney.

    Already used my FT doing sterling > haz

      Looks great SZ besides no Costa ofc (if he's back)

    2. Marian Kuna Guero
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      great team and great transfer

      As good as it was the last time I had a look at it, Zlatan xD Still keeping hold of Siggy despite fixtures, I see?

      With Costa seemingly 'likely' to play this weekend, reckon I should hold off getting Aguero for now?

      Krul - Myhill
      Cahill - Baines - Clyne - Wisdom - Dummett
      Hazard - Di Maria - Sterling - Sigurdsson - Marney
      Costa - Pellè - Berahino

      1FT and 1.4ITB

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Seemingly 'more likely' is what I meant to say!

          Hi Jonny.

          That's a nice team you have.

          I would be tempted to save your trade and pray kun stays quiet.

          1. The Count of Monte Cristo
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks - I'm tempted to ditch Cahill after this week for a cheaper DEF such as Duff to fund for Aguero and with Baines and Clyne playing every game, should have enough covered with Wisdom, Dummett and Duff (for now at least!)

            And yeah exactly, hopefully Berahino picks up a goal, or Kun has a quiet one and his price doesn't rise more, though funding around 2.2 with Cahill --> Duff potentially, hopefully it won't make too much difference!

    That advert for The Flash.

    He runs at super sonic speed to catch a cyclist whose in midair after being hit by a taxi cab.

    Plot flaw straight away there.

    The speed The Flash is going is equivalent to a high speed train hitting the cyclist. The Flash making any contact with him at that speed would surely do more damage to the bloke than a braking taxi.

    • 12 Years

    Pelle looks like Aguero... Not as good - yet - but he does remind me a lot of him

    If he continues this way I expect to see him jump up to a top 4 next year.

  4. Syd.
    • 16 Years

    Obertan is a Clingon

  5. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    2 FTs and 0.1m. What should I do, got to use 1 FT?

    Begovic Gilks
    Clyne Naylor Chambers Wisdom Duff
    Fabregas DiMaria Sterling Siggy Davis
    Aguero Costa Pelle

    A) Davis -> Obertan/Boyd?
    B) Begovic -> 5.1m GK but who?
    C) something else?

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Pity you couldn't get baines.

      Davis > Boyd and roll your other trade

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Baines isn't worth destroying the integrity of my team... Think it's gonna be boyd for sure.

      davis veing sDavis of sou? if so hes nailed along w/ schneiderlin, and has his chances offensively. why drop?
      and if so u think obertan will get 80+ min?

  6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    tadic to aarons/boyd and berahino to pelle

    any good?

    speak now or forever hold your silence

    1. DRY PEANUT
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Lol

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

      Silence will do in this instance regarding this question.

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

      I think Tadic berahino combo will get more points

    4. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No. Keep tadic and Berra

  7. Goodnight Kiwi

    Aguero (c) --> Pelle (c)

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

      Seriously?

      1. Goodnight Kiwi
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah mate. Silva injured makes a big difference I feel and with Pelle's form, even easier

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

          Hmm. I am having second thoughts on captaining Aguero too. Interesting...

          1. Goodnight Kiwi
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            I thought that was more of a 'woh what are you doing reply'. Have Costa, Kun, Pelle up top. Costa will get reduced minutes IF he plays. Kun with no Silva and now the only player Manure need to mark. Pelle on amazing form and Hull aren't rock-solid at home, having let in 2 to Villa, Hammers and Toon so far.
            Other options could be Sterling v Toon, but they kept out City this morn... And Pool can't score.

            1. Goodnight Kiwi
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Well apparently it was 4-1 City last year without Silva... hmm

      1. DRY PEANUT
        • 11 Years

        Triple sacking.

      2. Bolivian Seaman
        • 15 Years

        Did he get a boner?

      A month, according to reports.

    2. Syd.

      Too early unless Pel says something in his post match interview

    2FTs 0.0 ITB any ideas for 1 FT?

    Krul Mannone
    Clyne Chambers Wisdom Bertrand Hutton
    Sterling Siggy Di Maria Fabregas Boyd
    Pelle Costa Aguero

    cheers

    1. Moosie the Staggie
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Thats easy. Get rid of Manonne and bank the other transfer. He could be dropped at any moment so better to do it now when you have nothing else pressing.

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

        cheers pal

        1. Moosie the Staggie

          No prob

    Evening. Question for the scouts - any reason you use the accented characters for player names in the members section? Took me a while to find Mr. Alexis Sánchez

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

      Because that's his name 🙂

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

        well put. I guess I've become used to practice that searching 'a' will return a, à, á, ä etc.

    2. Van Klinkert Delarosa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      How do you type the accented letters anyway?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        ctrl + alt + the letter

        1. Van Klinkert Delarosa
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Can't figured it out.

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

        Use alt and it's number. à = hold alt and press 133

          You get a discount on he buying price too if you get them right when searching on the transfer page

        2. Van Klinkert Delarosa

              • 11 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Maybe because of this.

              NOTE: You must use the numeric key pad; if you use the number keys on the top of the keyboard, the characters will not appear.

              But found a way; accidentally found the hidden numeric pad. lol

              Thànks!

      Indeed! Has been raised internally 😉

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

        Why would you want to do anything that makes users have a more difficult time of getting the stats you provide, then?

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          We (or more accurately the team) obviously don't want to make it more difficult... was just saying that it's been raised as an issue internally and will be looked into 🙂

          1. Walsh
            • 12 Years

            Fair enough, mate. 🙂

            I'm glad this issue is being dealt with the seriousness and urgency that I fully believe it deserves.

      Hazard rice 😀

      1. Bolivian Seaman

        Don't eat it

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

    Is Begovic to Foster the best move I can make here?

    Begovic
    Ivanovic/Baines/Clyne
    Fabregas/Sterling/Tadic/Siggy
    Aguero/Pelle/Welbeck

    Fabianski/Boyd/Hutton/Moore

    2Ft's and 0.4 million banked

    Thanks! 😀

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

      Bego to Foster seems sideways but everywhere else looks cracking for this GW

      1. BigManBakar

        Cheers 🙂

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      So many options now. Costa? Alexis? Hazard? ADM?

      FPL has changed. Template breaking. 😛

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

        I can do Sterling to Hazard and Ivan to Wisdom for 2 FT's too! Just cant make my mind up though

        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        (Bego dropping tonight btw, I think)

    2. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Anyone? 🙁

      1. thetinkerman
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        Still looking for that magic "aha" moment when the best transfer becomes obvious I see 😀

  14. Slash
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    2 choices will define this GW for me:

    Kun or Costa
    ADM or Sanchez

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

      Seems obvious.

      1. DRY PEANUT
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        You are even dryer then me, I like it...

        1. thetinkerman
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Breadbin is the king of dry. I didn't know what to make of him at first 🙂

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

      Tough choices, I'd still get aguero though

    3. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Hopefully it's kun and adm

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

      Kun
      Alexis

      For me!

      firstrow but for another hour.

    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Pards: "Obertan was outstanding tonight. I thought he was the best player on the pitch."

    Obertan.. £4.4m

    Also very complimentary about Dummett.

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'm considering obertan as 5th midfielder.

  16. Koflok
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    With Sakho just out potentially just a week,

    Is Sakho > Welbeck still sensible?
    And then probs I will bring him back in a few weeks

    Or just bench Sakho and play Moore

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

      I endorse this, therefore you should proceed.

  17. Lucy.
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Just thought I'd pop on to say - COME ON YOU SAINTS!

    Also, what's the consensus on ADM -> Sanchez for free?

    Also, great performance from Newcastle. Pleased for the Geordies on here 🙂

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

      Do it.

    2. super zlatan
      • 14 Years

      Grats Lucy. Great result

      Keep adm

    3. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Considering the city defence tonight ADM could do just as well as Sanchez.

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

        they missed zaba and kompany.

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Congrats for tonight. Good ol' Graziano.

      ADM -> Sanchez? Find another way. ADM's a keeper... well, he's a midfielder..... but a keeper. 😛

    4. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Di María to Sánchez is a no from me.

    5. Lucy.
      • 12 Years

      Cheers guys. Guess I'll keep. I figure Welbz should do well anyway. 🙂

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

        Captain Welbeck.

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

      Newcastle were fantastic, well deserved. Not many teams attack City away. Great approach and refreshing to see.

      Pleased as punch for the Saints too 🙂

      I have these 3 too 🙁 . At least they won though. Their confidence must be outrageously high.

        Yeah true.

        They seem to be unstoppable at the moment. Loving them at the mo.

        Yeah that's one small mercy at least.

        Cheers Graziano for finishing it late on! 🙂

      Inevitable really. We lack an obvious centre forward alternative - not sure Long is up to leading the line for us at the Britannia and Mane's still recovering from international duty. We have virtually no cover at right back - it would've been Cork probably which isn't ideal. And we don't have a creative force like Tadic.

      1. Fantasy Gold

        Can't believe Tadic didn't pick up an assist tonight.

        Saving them all for the weekend hopefully 😉

    Can I get a vote?

    Davis ->

    A) Obertan
    B) Boyd

    1. super zlatan

      Hi boom.

      I know I previously said Boyd however now I think about it more, I'm swaying towards obertan

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I think it's probably worth it. After comments from pardew he seems to rate him high! He is going to get more people buying him as he gets more assists and more gametime

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years

      Boyd, his fixtures look really good after arsenal
