As we brace ourselves for yet another international break, we turn to Saturday and Sunday’s fixtures and delve into the data in our first members article of the week. We assess Southampton’s chief creator and main frontman as the points start to dry up, cast an eye over Chelsea’s penalty box predator, Man City’s talismanic Argentine and Newcastle’s recent defensive displays as the clean sheets keep coming for Alan Pardew’s men.

          sorry, fplstatistics

      2. rickardinho
        11 years, 11 months ago

        it should be wanyama chambers and austin though, maybe cork, dawson, and sanchez too.

        adm should fall hopefully, which is amazing

  2. Randy_Marsh
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone else take Siggy, Sterling & Welbeck out? :-/

    22 including the hit 😮

    1. Zasa
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Just the latter duo for Sahko & Sanchez.
      Worked out in favor w/ 2 more points though

    2. Not Irish
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Took Welbz out for a hit. Of course Sakho blanked.

      1. LOCO ABREU
        11 years, 11 months ago

        he played well?didn't watch the game

        1. Not Irish
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Was good yeah.

          1. LOCO ABREU
            11 years, 11 months ago

            thanks,,will destroy baines cs next gw then

      2. Randy_Marsh
        11 years, 11 months ago

        That will reap a much better return though I'm sure

        1. Not Irish
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Surely I hope.

    3. BeachBadger
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Ouch. Plenty stung this week Im sure.

    4. The Hound
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Sterling to downing cost me 2 points.

    5. applebonkers

      a lot. historically good players having a quieter spell > historically bad players having a good spell

      1. Randy_Marsh
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Yep I'm thinking Siggy out was a mistake but didn't want to miss out on the Sanchez train

        Sterling has good fixtures but I don't trust Pool against any side this season

        I don't rate Welbeck as a striker, good linkup play but he isn't clinical in front of goal

  3. jackluhg
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Clyne>Baines
    Pelle>Austin
    Fab>Sanchez

    for -4, leaves 1.6 ITB and keeps my WC intact..

    current team..

    Krul Foster
    Clyne Chambers Bertrand Wisdom Hutton
    Downing Siggy ADM Fab Boyd
    Aguero Pelle Costa

    1. BeachBadger
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I like it but maybe next G would be the right time for this

      1. jackluhg
        11 years, 11 months ago

        same.. may just do Baines for now

    2. FEASTER
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Austin and Sanchez will both probably rise in a half hour, so I'd consider doing those last 2 moves now if you're going to do them. I'd wait until after Southampton plays Villa next week to do Clyne to Baines though, unless you think Baines will score in double figures.

  4. The Hound
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Damn u international break. I want to swap berahino for Austin! Best off waiting yet so frustrating when I'm 99% gonna do it anyway.

  5. Total Foot 5
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Sanchez: Keep FT or do option below? 30 min to go for price uptik! Opinion appreciated.

    1. (-4)Haz (WBA) + Pelle (avl) > sanchez (MNU) + austin (new)
    2. (-4)Haz + Pelle > sanchez + sakho
    3. Keep both and wait for gw 12 for 2ft to get in sanchez .
    (risk another .3 higher for both sanchez & austin)

    **i can hold off the price rises, as there will be enough funds itb for Sanchez later.

    1. Flycroft
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 11 months ago

      1

      1. Total Foot 5
        11 years, 11 months ago

        respekt 2pac. cheers.

        tbing is, was slight lening option 3, no hit given that maybe
        Haz (WBA) + Pelle (avl) will Outscore gw12 sanchez (MNU) + austin (new), no?

        if theyd outscore, then screw the price utick and avoid the hit for sanch+aust and i get them for free gw 12, no?

        1. Flycroft
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Southampton really haven't scored that many goals this season and villa aren't conceding many so I don't reckon there are that many goals in that game. Hazard has 2 penalties and a deflected goal this season. It's a tough one but I think I would do it. The money is important at this stage and Austin and sanchez look to be very good picks

          1. Flycroft
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            11 years, 11 months ago

            It really could go either way. Go with your gut!

          2. Total Foot 5
            11 years, 11 months ago

            well put...i guess ure betting MNU will not hold their own defending in London then against Sanchez and maybe austin can score 1 against new away even tho new are ticking in frm now, tough one

            haz is the one deciding this, dude is underperforming, an at 9.9. i was shot]rt freaking .2 for sanchez 3 gwks ago, and now the spread is going to like 1 in funds!

  6. meltedman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    I've just taken a -8pt hit to do bertrand/welbeck/pelle --> yun/costa/austin

    I expect to lose maybe 4 points this week from this, but over the next 7 weeks it should easily pay off.

    1. rickardinho
      11 years, 11 months ago

      totally unnecessary and a week too early.

      1. Manu5
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah, jumped the gun, Hampton at Aston villa could be more points in front and back

    2. The Hound
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Madness with the international break. An injury and that's -12

      1. FionnMac
        11 years, 11 months ago

        might be an idea to post on here BEFORE you do that transfer, not after 😛

        1. meltedman
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 11 months ago

          wasn't looking for your great advice thanks 😀

  7. avfcaidan10
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Chances of Moore getting back into the team?

    1. LOCO ABREU
      11 years, 11 months ago

      maybe but he's useless anyway

  8. rickardinho
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Haha, I just remembered that I got Downing in for Ramsey when ADM was all the hype and I could have afforded him instead. Proved right by the points in recent weeks 😀

    1. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I could listen to you all night. 😉

      1. rickardinho
        11 years, 11 months ago

        I don't often reminisce about past decisions, but I was looking through my transfer history and was pleased that i was proved right. Sorry if it was abit braggy, but the amount of abuse i got on here a month ago for suggesting that Downing was a better FPL pick than ADM was insane!

        1. Gnu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 11 months ago

          It's just I've asked if this is your 1st season with no reply, I'm sure you posted under different moniker before.

    2. The Hound
      11 years, 11 months ago

      That one spots worked out great for me, Ramsey to adm to Sanchez all at the right moments!

      1. rickardinho
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Nice!

        I got Baines and Aguero for the cash I saved on ADM so it worked well for me too 😀

    3. ALegendJ
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Great call, just wanted to say thanks for the reply in last page, and please check my reply to it

  9. Clintymints
    11 years, 11 months ago

    7.9 for any midfielder?

    Your best option is...

    1. rickardinho
      11 years, 11 months ago

      tadic, siggy, or downing

      1. rickardinho
        11 years, 11 months ago

        or brunt, after gw14 😉

    2. Ludo
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Sigurdsson, Chadli, Fellaini, Downing.

    3. avfcaidan10
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Siggy

    4. LOCO ABREU
      11 years, 11 months ago

      siggy,chadli,downing

  10. Diva
    11 years, 11 months ago

    What are people's thoughts on Chadli?

    He's converting shots on target into goals at a crazy rate of 75%. That cannot be sustainable, but he keeps doing it so far...

    1. The Hound
      11 years, 11 months ago

      This seasons joker in the pack.

      1. Not Irish
        11 years, 11 months ago

        This. I hate him.

    2. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 11 months ago

      think goals will go down a bit and assists will go up. for example kane missed a shocker from chadli's assist today

      1. Not Irish
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Harsh. Was a tough chance.

        1. applebonkers
          • Has Moderation Rights
          11 years, 11 months ago

          he headed all the way back across the goal, so it wasn't a case of not being able to reach it. was a shocker

    3. Flycroft
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 11 months ago

      If I didn't have him I wouldn't get him because you are probably right, he will slow up. As an owner I go into every game expecting nothing but he just keeps delivering,its amazing

      1. Diva
        11 years, 11 months ago

        I keep telling myself that and he keeps scoring. Gah!

    4. v12w12
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Like him, love him! Raging siggy scored today, made it so much harder to bring him in!:)

    5. Zasa
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Donkey see, donkey do

    6. Piggs Boson
      11 years, 11 months ago

      He has quality and he seeks out goals. He will probably keep scoring, but I'd be surprised if it was at the same rate.

  11. Flycroft
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    212 overall rank today, my best ever. Sorry to brag here but had to let it out!

    8. Hostage
      11 years, 11 months ago

    9. Randy_Marsh

    10. FionnMac

        103.8, nothing in the bank. Not that high really

    11. Flycroft

      Thanks everyone. I still have hopes of catching #1!

  12. Jay_
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Bego (Mccarthy )
    Baines Chambers Hutton (Yun Moore)
    Downing AdM Sanchez Hazard (Boyd)
    Berahino Aguero Costa
    Would you happy taking that team into gw12 and upto Jan WC ?
    *Bego>Fabinaski gw13)
    *Yun can be changed to 4.2 max Duff/Dummet etc

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 11 months ago

      You're absolutely flying, mate, congrats!

      Save FT looks good.

      1. Jay_
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks mate , but that team will be as result of a -8 hit ,
        Bertrand Tadic Welbeck > Yun Downing Costa

      2. Jay_
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Ps well done to you too , another green arrow good work 🙂

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Jeees, a -8? Have you done it yet? Forget about price changes and take a step back ( unless you've done it already)

          1. Jay_
            11 years, 11 months ago

            No haven't done it yet will wait until as late as possible , probably next week

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      11 years, 11 months ago

      It's not far from the team I would WC to if I played my WC
      Moore > dummett obvious change but saving this week may be the way to go

      1. Jay_
        11 years, 11 months ago

        If I had a wilcard I would have Fabianski instead of Bego, Austin instead of Berahino and ad you say Dummet over Moore ,and would be chuffed with that

        11 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah. It's super when hands go up in a spasm as if there might be concussion symptoms. Especially when little girls are involved.

        1. The Hound

    Baines Bertrand Chambers (Moore Duff)
    Hazard Downing Chadli Sigurdsson (Boyd)
    Aguero Costa Pelle

    How do I get Sanchez into this lot? I'm thinking of going 3-5-2 by doing Boyd out for Sanchez and Pelle out for Ayoze/Kane. What do you think? Thanks.

      I just did, good move.

    Ok George Boyd of Burnley. Looks like he's been playing full matches these days, so already a regular in the Burnley team?

    Best cheap 5th midfielder or someone else I am missing? I noticed he takes corners too, not sure about other set pieces.

    1. Not Irish
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Wanyama

      1. ChampionoftheWorld
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Wanyama's great too. Surprised by the number of goals this season actually.

    2. BeachBadger
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Ings back too to convert some chances. Biyd def a good 5th mid spot

      can't see any better for that price. burnley attacker is extremely meh but for 4.4 a regular 90min man in an attacking role is as good as you'll get

    4. Demí

      He's nailed. Was on opposite wings when Kightly was in the team i think, but as expected he got dropped with Marney returning and Arfield going back on the right.

      Not sure about best though, as Burnley don't score many goals. You won't play him much anyway, so seems a good option, without really delving deeply into the alternatives.

      1. rickardinho
        11 years, 11 months ago

        I'd rather have Zamora at 4.3. If you're never gonna play him you might as well get a striker at 8th forward, and he's been playing regularly recently. I'd also be tempted by Kane if i went uber cheap

    think chadli can be explained relatively easily. opinions on him last season were completely polarised, and it's no coincidence that the positive pole was largely made up of posters with a dutch or belgian background. came to the league but never got a run of games at the start due to constant injuries, then as soon as he did it was the last couple of games before AVB got sacked. sherwood then tried him in a couple of positions before playing him every week as the deepest CM in the side (remember when he went to anfield with chadli and siggy cm, madman). he then played there for the rest of the season, what can he do from there fantasy wise?
    really think this season is more like the norm, not the one off. 6.4ppg is pretty crazy though, albeit without the QPR game it's not so insane. i think that's a good thing to judge off, his 9 games since QPR.

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan

      He keeps getting chances and confidence sky high to put them away. Unless something disrupts that it is probably all we need to know

      also why i think spurs fans are ironically amongst the worst to ask about him, getting to know the wrong player etc

    So glad to have kept Siggy. Not sure if he will get anything out of the City game, but after that the next 6 reads CPL QPR whm TOT hul AVL.

        Possibly value go up from now!

        I kept Chadli and traded him for Sanchez 2 weeks ago 😉

        You going fantastic this year bsloe, keep it up 🙂

        1. BeachBadger
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Cheers mate. Cant believe it. If I got Sanchez in early and captained him the last few weeks I couldve been number 1 lol

    3. Royal5
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Great value. Very attacking and got all set pieces (x pens) Almost the perfect fantasy player imo. City have looked shaky at back, wouldn't be suprised if he got something out of that game tbh

      1. Demí
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Depends on whether Kompany's back or not i guess

        1. Royal5
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Guess you're right. Prognosis?

  28. Lallana_
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Which one?

    1) Taylor, Welbeck, Marney, 4.3M ITB next week
    Can upgrade Marney, Welbeck or Sigurdsson next week if I want

    2) Azpilicueta, Sakho, Sterling, 0.5M ITB next week

  29. Rambo Motin
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Austin or Sakho quick!

    1. rickardinho
      11 years, 11 months ago
