A number of midfielders are amongst this evening’s members piece, as we take a look the in-form options at Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham and Tottenham. We also cast an eye over Diego Costa’s recent form, assess Sergio Aguero’s displays compared to recent campaigns and take time to assess QPR’s in-form frontman after another impressive showing in yesterday’s narrow defeat at the Bridge.

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

  1. Defcons are for Kinnear

    I haven't seen the game but was Sanchez unplayable and awesome because he was up against Burnley?

      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      remember thierry henry? thats how he cut in from the left and slaughtering right back.

      so yea, unplayable would be a word id agree on

    2. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No. The way he played, he would've been unplayable and awesome against any opposition.

    Mannone to play today?

  3. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years

    Any reason to wait on doing Eriksen to Downing?

  4. Arvin-ation

    Siggy---->Chadli/Downing for a hit?

    Reckon it could pay off over the next 3 weeks

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

      yes it could..downing I reckon

  5. SpaceCadet

    why did kun get only 2 bps??

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

      because defenders get 3 baps

    2. TorresMagic™

      CS plus assist beats goal.

      1. SpaceCadet

        cheers

    Is there a preference to WC in the break GW12 or wait until GW13 once they've all returned from international duties? Basically there's so much uncertainty the week the players return.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      There is no correct time to use your WC. Just use it when you see your team in shambles. Don't plan for it!

  7. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    86 without chambers.....vamos!

    why did aguero get only 2 bps??

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Because a CS and assist > one goal 😉

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

      cause we(owners) were robbed of 2 penaltys

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

        I thought it was 5 penalties

  8. Jinswick

    • 15 Years

    Best move here lads?

    A) Save
    B) Siggy -> Downing
    C) Something else

    Krul
    Baines, Chambers, Wisdom
    Sanchez, Hazard, Chadli, Siggy
    Aguero, Costa, Pelle

    Elliot, Hutton, Yun, Albrighton

      I read somewhere earlier that West Ham have scored the same amount of goals as Southampton and remember Southampton had a 8 goal game , our fixtures are getting good and we are so attacking , I keep stressing this but I'm sure our assets will do just as well in the next 10 weeks as the Saints did in the first 10, good times to be a supporter and good times to own them as a FPL manager , im not a stat man but even all the table makers and number men on here are bigging us up , leave the Saints wagon before they derail and jump aboard the West Ham wagon in the break or a week after gw13) will leave yous with that have to get some sleep , good night DZ'ers

      1. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Would you advise on doubling up with Downing and Sakho?

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

          That's what I did to enable the Sanchez move

          1. Defcons are for Kinnear

            I'm waiting for wally

      3. Amateur Pundit Zan

        Brought in downing this week. Not sure I'm ready to give up on pelle to get sakho so may leave it at that

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

          I'm not whether Sakho's injury will have hindered his momentum somewhat. Hope I'm wrong of course.

    • SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Naismith to berahino or sakho for a hit? already have downing

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Neither for a hit imo

    • Randy_Marsh
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Should we be aiming to have Aguero and Costa in the team after the break?

      That would mean one of ADM, Hazard/Cesc, Sanchez would have to go

      I think if I got Kane instead of Sahko it would have enabled me to do Saints 2to cheapie and Costa

      Damn.

    • SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      siggy to mane for a hit make sense?

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

        No way. Swans fixtures turn nice again after 3-4 games.

    • Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I know sterling has had a couple of blanks and Liverpool look poor but am still surprised at the volume of early sales.

      After Chelsea they have a good run. Sturridge will be back by then too.

      1. Amateur Pundit Zan
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Sales breed more sales. He is costing money and a bit of shuffling means I can have hazard instead who looks good chance to outscore him

        1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I hear you. And I'd agree. That said there's 3 pts between them and 1.5m, but it's an arguable choice.

          It's just as if sterling has become a complete lepper.

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

        Wouldn't touch a pool player regardless of fixtures right now.

        1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I wouldn't bring on it granted, but sterling is still in the top 10 mids despite a couple of blanks. Without everyone chasing last weeks point it really wouldn't be an urgent matter.

          1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            One in*

      3. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Sterling is playing league, CL, and Internationals. I'm surprised his wheels haven't fallen off as of now.

        1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Granted. The same goes for plenty of others tho. Presumably Liverpool are managing the intensity of his sessions and recovery time with this in mind.

      4. Sadio come here often?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        With the lack of options, I think I'm going to have to hold him. Don't like that it will probably cost me .4 or .5 tho by the end of the international break

        1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          That depends doesn't it. If he scuffs one over the line and Liverpool win 1-0 he gets 11 points and is flavour of the month.

          1. Sadio come here often?

        On the bright side, you get Naylor off the bench.

        1. Christina.
          • 15 Years

          No Sanchez last 3 weeks have killed me.

            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            You going to bring him in? Or give a week and hope Swansea keep him quiet?

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

              No idea.

              If I do, it means losing Tadic prior to Leic.

              1. Arvin-ation
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                I did it..for Tadic. I think Tadic is a top option for next week, but he just doesn't seem to get much end product, consistently at least. Sanchez is a far more explosive AND consistent option, and his ownership will start to hurt soon.

                1. President John F. Keninnsie
                  • 12 Years
                  11 years, 1 month ago

    • mookie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      hmmm "Manuel Pellegrini opted for Roberto Soldado alongside Emmanuel Adebayor" from the article.

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

        Harry Kane will prove a disaster for those thinking to bring him in. It's not as if he's faced stellor defences is it?

        1. Defcons are for Kinnear
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Just don't know what to make of Spurs. They don't score much and concede a lot too. Just avoiding them completely

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

          i agree with you but Pellegrini @Spurs

    • FortunesAlwaysHiding

      11 years, 1 month ago

      How many points is Connor Wickham likely to get tonight? Rival has him and he's the difference between me winning and losing in my draft league.

      1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        So insignificant I can take it as a fat 0?! 🙂

    • Tony Hibbert's Shootin…
      • 14 Years

      What to do with this rabble?

      Foster
      Baines Wisdom Bertrand
      Eriksen Sigurdsson Tadic Sterling
      Pellè Agüero Welbeck

      Myhill / Shawcross Naylor Marney

      1FT, 2.4 itb

      Looking to lose between 1-3 of Eriksen, Siggy, Sterling & Welbeck before next GW. Looking to bring in one of Sanchez or Di Maria.

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

        Double WBA at the back isn't for me. No point in having Shawcross on the bench with his price and fixtures.

        1. Tony Hibbert's Shootin…
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Been trying to get rid of Shawcross for ages now, but other transfer priorities keep popping up unfortunately 🙁

    • Saniul
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      It is true that Wenger didn't sign enough players in the summer.
      But with the ones he did in Chambers and Sanchez, he nailed it. 😉

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

        Hmm. Very light in defence though I feel.

      2. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Still need a CB and holding mid. They should be challenging for the title, not 4th place

      3. Sunny 😎
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Sanchez is a class apart than the rest of the team. But I still don't rate Chambers as top 4 team player.

    • Nabs Kebabs

      Kneejerked to this lot for -4

      Forster

          Eh no

        2. Nabs Kebabs
          • 14 Years

      A) Naylor -> Chambers

      B) Siggy -> Chadli

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

        Nah...

      2. Sunny 😎
        • 12 Years

        Nope

    • Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      If you have to keep one, whom will you? Eriksen or Tadic?

      1. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I have both and am ditching Erik

      2. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 12 Years

        Get a grav 😛

            • 12 Years

            That's better 😉

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

        I prefer Tadic, better team, better striker to pass the ball. Only negative is bad fixtures upcoming

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

          Sooner or later, both will leave. This week one has to go for Sanchez, other will be changed to Walcott after break 🙂

      4. Amateur Pundit Zan
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Keep tadic this week at least

    • Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Is Poch going to play 2 up front from now on?
      Is Erik's place under threat? more reason transfer him out

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

        Yeah there is a good chance. Spurs have been struggling for goals lately and 3 #10's doesn't really work. It doesn't surprise me that Poch chose to change it up and put another striker in there.

    • Billy Gilmore

      If only I bought Chambers over Rose.

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

          Same here but it was Naylor -> Chambers

          On paper their fixtures don't look great for me that's why I held

        Serves you right for trusting Spurs' defence

          This is true. But they were playing Newcastle and Villa, both of whom couldn't hit a barn door before they played Spurs...

        Was thinking of doing Siggy & Terry to Oscar & Moore all week for a hit. Would have netted me 12 points this week alone with Moore not playing and Bertrand being my first sub 🙁

      Any guesses for what gameweek Giroud will be back up and running? Fancy him to start over Welbz.

        Don't think he is coming back before Jan, is he?

          Back in training after the international break.

        2. Billy Gilmore

          He's 3 weeks ahead of schedule. Probably back early December.

      Guys some advice please...
      A. Sterling, Naismith to chadli/diami/other 8.1mid and sahko
      B. Sterling, Naismith to 5.5m and Pele (already have tadic)
      C. Sterling, welbeck to sanchez and 5.4 striker
      D. Sterling welbeck to sahko and Walcott

      Maybe Harry Kane?
      Will wait until Friday after all European games though..

        while Pelle would be good for his home game v Leicester, his fixtures turn very soon so you might want to trade him out in a couple of weeks anyway.

        A sounds good. Need to get rid of Naismith, and some decent midfielders available for 8.1.

        I sold Sterling 2 minutes after the Liverpool game got over. You giving him another chance?

          • 14 Years

          Having sold Moreno and Sterling last week, my team is now a Liverpool free zone. It feels good.

        Sterling and Tadic –> Sanchez and Downing?

          That's what I thought yes...

            id rather keep tadic for LEI then fabs against liverpool

            1. Billy Gilmore
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              As a Liverpool fan I disagree.

              1. Billy Gilmore
                • 13 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                Mainly because you're gonna want shot of Tadic in 2 weeks anyhow, whereas Cesc you won't and will be much more expensive to buy back.

                1. Nabs Kebabs
                  • 14 Years

                I'm sorry to see the demise of your team - but it looks bereft of ideas & motivation. Why oh why did Rodgers buy Balotelli?

                  • 13 Years
                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  More to the point – why does he keep playing him when it's painfully obvious that he's killing the team?

                  1. Nabs Kebabs
                    • 14 Years
                    11 years, 1 month ago

                    because he's not very smart.

                    This ... I would like to know.

                    Purely selfishly, you understand - because it has upset my FPL strategy.

                      I think he's on a bit of an ego trip tbh. Trying to be the one to succeed where Mourinho and Mancini have failed and bring out the best in him.

                    I agree - at least Lambert would try, especially as he's a Liverpool lad himself.

        Sterling and Tadic > Sanchez and Downing? Or sell Pelle instead of Tadic... Not the best time to lose them but there aren't many other ways to get Sanchez..

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

          Rather keep Pelle

        cesc and sterlo to sanchez and downing
