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.

    ADM vs Chambers.

    Let the bloodbath commence.

    1. Scratch
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Another yellow for Chambers then

      1. MJ6987
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        He'll have a 2 match ban before long 🙁

    2. BeachBadger

      United scraped past Palace without their best player. What makes you think this will be a bloodbath?

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Oh come on, Badger. We're gonna rip them to shreds. Time honored tradition. I'm thinking Rooney for a hit right now.

        1. BeachBadger
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Im surprised you haven't already got him for a hit 😉

          1. Not Irish
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Trying to hold fire for now. 😆

          He's back with his rose tinted glasses!

    Want to switch a SOT player to CHE player. So it all boils down to:

    Tadic and Costa? or Pelle and Hazard?

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Good plan.

      Costa is the most important player out of the four.

      1. dush64
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Agreed, but it seems to be a 1st and 4th vs 2nd and 3rd sort of situation.

        I think I'm leaning towards Costa though, thanks for the tip.

    Is Adm (ars HUL) to Sanchez (MAN wba) worth -4 ?

    1. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I don;t think you can ignore Sanchez any longer

      1. SkyByBo
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I wouldnt trade them over until after the next game. Fancy arsenal to get a hiding.

    2. XhakaCan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      No

    3. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Nope, find another way

    4. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Don't know if it's worth -4 but he's the only one i'd drop him for ATM.

    5. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      No. Sanchez is better atm but ADM is the next best of the heavy hitting mids. Find another way to get Sanchez.

    6. Guidinho
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Sanchez comfortably better in my opinion, given more freedom to get forward and attack, far bigger goal threat. Also Dat Guy is more selfless and will sacrifice his efforts more for others. I think ADM involvement with be more assists based as RvP and Rooney have a more ruthless attitude towards scoring. I personally think Di Maria is fairly wasteful with the ball but as he is the big potatoes at United he is given more licence.

      Also Sanchez is a better Captain option imo, his returns are far less volatile. Blanked in only three games, Everton (played 45mins), Spurs (played 28mins) and Chelsea away.

      Nice one. I won't bore you with my rank.

  5. Not Irish

    11 years, 5 months ago

    Is anyone thinking about selling Baines?

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      In jest

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Serious. Cresswell could be a good option to create funds for elsewhere.

    2. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      😯

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Barry and McCarthy injured. I fancy them for maybe one CS in the next six right now.

        1. BeachBadger
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          McCarthy injured too? I didnt realise that. Reckon you could be right about clean sheet potential being lowerr than expected but Baines still has other things in his locker to get points. Lukaku wasted so many potential Baines assists 😆

          1. Not Irish
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            I suppose it's worth holding as his delivery has been filthy this season. That peno was anything but convincing today though.

            1. Chelsea Dagger
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              that is actually the best place to score a pk vs. a giant. Very tough for keepers to get their hips out of the way and basically fall straight down on the ball. (I'm a keeper.) I just wish I knew what Baines and Panti were talking about before the kick. both were all smiles

        2. dush64
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          They didn't get CS today and he still got 11. Sure he won't get a penalty every week, but he also got 3 assists in the two previous games.

    3. Cocky Spaniel Alves
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Why? You wanna buy?

    4. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Noooooooo.

    5. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      LOL!!! Hell no.

    6. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      no way

  6. AllINeedIsCoffee
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Diego Costa or Sánzhes if you had to choose between them for the next weeks?

    1. XhakaCan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Costa, if he can avoid suspension

    2. Willis.
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Costa

  7. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Looking to get Aguero in for the next game week. Pretty happy with my team, but feel Kun is essential and can't really ignore that anymore. Any advice?

    Krul / Scmichael
    Baines / clyne / chambers / wisdom / duff
    Alexis / fabregas / Siggy / di Maria / Chadli
    Costa / pelle / Sakho

    0.7m in bank ... I'm guessing pelle needs to go with either Maria or fabs joining him?

    1. dush64
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Wow at your front 8. I guess without Aguero you can spread the cash around.

      Fab --> Wanyama / cheapie and Pelle --> Kun would be my bet.

      Fab is ultra reliable if you don't want to think about transfers, but I'd rather try to catch a player for a good run, than have Fab getting 5-6 every week.

      1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks ... Wanyama is the guy in my thinking ... I'm kind of hoping Aguero picks up an injury as I'm at pains in breaking up my front 8 ... Wanyama's price does allow me some time to think about it as price drops and rises would have to be massive to cause any issues ... Cheers Dush64.

    How nailed on are

    S. Taylor (Newcastle)
    Duff (Burnley)
    Last thing I want is to have "non-players" after a wildcard!

    Cheers!

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I would say....

      Not very

      Very

      1. @FPLMason
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        This

    2. womf
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Duff is nailed on. Taylor not.

      1. 7923dos
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Damn need to find another cheap defender then... Will involve downgrades elsewhere though as I don't beleive there are any 3.9m nailed on defenders so could be a tough one!

        1. MJ6987
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Yun

  9. womf
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Whose the best cheap goalkeeper till the January wc? Guzan?

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Him or Krul

    2. Voice of the Mysterons
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I would say Krul now that Newcastle look good

      1. BeachBadger
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        how times change 😆

    3. Villan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Green and Guzan have the best fixtures

    4. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Fabianski after City IMO

      1. womf
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        yes that's who I have now but looking to free up some funds

    5. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Guzan, though next week (soton) could be tough

  10. @FPLMason
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Got the exact money to do Tadic to Sanchez for free bar price changes. Yay or nay? I'm afraid of the international break screwing up my plains tbh. Thoughts would be appreciated.

    1. SkyByBo
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Do it!

    2. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Do it. Worth the risk this one I feel

    3. Voice of the Mysterons
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Difficult one, if you do it and get no injuries you will be well happy and think the decision was epic.
      However if you suffer injuries in the internationals you will hate yourself

    4. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Seriously?? Buy with both hands!

      1. Voice of the Mysterons
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I have been burned in the international break before

    5. dush64
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Worth the risk, definitely.

  11. Voice of the Mysterons
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    ADM to Chadli & Hutton to Baines for -4, what do you think?

    1. Van Dal
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Nope

      1. Voice of the Mysterons
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Why not? I'm thinking I gotta get Baines in

  12. Villan
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Switch Pelle to Austin?

    I was going to do it gw13 when S'oton's fixtures turn but might be priced out of other moves with Pelle dropping and Austin rising

  13. Fantasy Gold
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Yo geezers. What are all da lol kids doin?

    Early transfers or waiting til dem pressers?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      *kool

      😉

    2. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Waiting till after the internationals.

      1. MJ6987
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Not sure I am one of the kool kids tho

    3. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Unless I go for Austin I think I will wait until potentially being priced out to make my moves

  14. Owd Big 'Ed
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on this team? Where do I go from here?

    De Gea, Gilks
    Baines, Bertrand, Chambers, Hutton, Wisdom
    Fabregas, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Chadli, Marney
    Costa, Aguero, Pelle

    0.2 ITB. 2 FT.

    1. Van Dal
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Great team. Hutton > Dummett

    2. Villan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      De Gea, Sterling and the two Southampton lads after next week look like the ones to target moving

    3. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      not sure but you need sanchez.

      maybe fabs and sterlo out for downing and sanchez

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        actually keep fabs and do pelle to austin to fund sanchez

    4. Darbs
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Downgrade Pellè; upgrade Sterling.

    5. SkyByBo
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling and pelle to sanchez and austin/sakho if possible.

    6. Voice of the Mysterons
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      No Sanchez?

  15. JaydenLFC87
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    With Fab playing deeper and deeper I'm thinking nows the time to ship him -

    Fab\Clyne > Sanchez\Naylor

    For free Yay or Nay??

    1. Villan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Depending on the rest of your team and if it's for free they're ok moves

      1. JaydenLFC87
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Rest of team

        Krul\4mil
        Clyne\Baines\Bertrand
        Siggy\ADM\Fab\Downing
        Costa\Pelle\Aguero

        Boyd\Duff\Moore

        1. Villan
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Looks good to me, gets you a more explosive option in Sanchez and in Naylor a player with better fixtures than Clyne

  16. Nabs Kebabs
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    89(-4)

    benched chadli 😕 but played austin over him

    keeping janmaat has finally paid off 😎

  17. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Eriksen / Welbeck => Walcott / Austin or Sakho (-4)?

    1. XhakaCan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Na, perhaps Eriksen to Chadli?

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Could do Eriksen/Welbeck to Sanchez and Zamora too....

        1. XhakaCan
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          I'd be reluctant to take a hit to get Zamora, but if it's your midfield you want to upgrade that could work too.

  18. Screaming Midget
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Good point for those who don't own Costa, with him being 1 game away from a suspension. Especially when Jose knows they can wipe away Sunderland without him.

    1. Screaming Midget
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      (and give him ANOTHER rest)

    2. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Just hope him and Cesc don't get banned the same week!

    3. Willis.
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      He'll make sure he gets booked before a league game

  19. Darbs
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Who to bring in: Ayoze Perez or Charlie Austin??

    1. Screaming Midget
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Neither.

    2. Villan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I'm looking at Austin. Security of starts, their main threat/goalscorer and in a team that is looking to push forward more than Newcastle

  20. BeachBadger
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Morning gents. Had a very lucky gameweek as everything seemed to go my way. I know it'll probably be discussed at length here, but best plan to ship out Welbeck? Theres money to be made on Austin and he has great fixtures, but I still think Sakho is probably the way to go.

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Charlie

    2. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Think I'm holding onto Sakho for a while yet. Best budget option I think, despite Austin and Berahino being on penos.

      1. BeachBadger
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Don't think there's any point ditching Sakho alright. Amazing watching the matches yesterday. Guy has one blank in 8 games and theyre all itching to pull the trigger on Sakho to Austin/Kane/Perez for a hit lol

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          typical ffs 🙂

        2. Not Irish
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          😆 No kidding. The guy's played four less matches than most as well. Was his first blank of the season in a start.

    3. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      both look good. I think i would prefer austin. I was weighing up the same thing last week. Maybe i was blinded by the short term fixture but i feel not getting was a mistake. I don't mean because he scored this gw and sakho didn't i mean going forward

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        *not getting austin was a mistake

      2. BeachBadger

          me neither mate just highlights. Watched him play 90 the other week though and he looked the goods. Like i said though both are great, hard to seperate them. I might even put austin in alongside sakho and kun

    Is ADM definitely dropping tonight?

    1. XhakaCan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      It's likely

      Looks like it. Crazy, really.

    Chadli or Downing?

    1. XhakaCan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Chadli

    2. Screaming Midget
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Chadli

    3. Villan

      Depends were you would use the extra money.

      I'd probably go Downing based on fixtures and £

    Anybody here watch Love/Hate? What a fantastic finale tonight, great show.

    1. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      All I seem to hear these days is how good Love/Hate is. I left the country a few years back and just downloaded season one now. Is it really that good?

        I enjoyed season one. I've heard it gets better after that as well but haven't seen any more.

      I saw the first series. Enjoyed it.

      What channel has it been on? And what series now?

      1. MCH
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Season 5 just finished in drmatic fashion 15 minutes ago. Definitely worth watching more!!

      I blame the shoes. Hope he's grand im going to see howie the rookie in tuesday.

    Hazard or ADM?

    1. Screaming Midget
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Probably Hazard at the minute, but it changes so much. All ADM needs is a good GW and he'll be transferred in again in droves.

      adm is you've got Costa

    Mate on facebook is quizzing about an ex man united player she's meeting tomorrow. Played 7 seasons at the club in midfield and defence, retired in 2001.

    Any ideals?

    1. Gaztafari
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I thought Dennis Irwin may have played left wing but he played 10 seasons retired in 2002.

    2. MCH
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Would have thought ince but think he played on for ages after united.

      1. Gaztafari
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Good shout. I'm out of ideas but it could be that the player is exaggerating or she's clueless or both.

    3. MCH
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Did anyone get it yet? Hard to get from that would think maybe the numbers are wrong!!

    4. SpinyNorman [*_*]
      • 13 Years

      Andy Cole retired in '01?

      1. SSJTevez
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Didn't realise Andy Cole played midfield and defence..

  26. Claret14
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Managed to improve rank without Sanchez so far but doubt it will last for ever so got him in tonight for Ramsey (don't ask) funded by Pelle to Austin

    1. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years

      Good moves

  27. Nabs Kebabs

    1. Claret14
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Says knock so with 2 week break would expect to play

      1. BeachBadger
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I want him back for Ireland on Friday 🙁

        1. XhakaCan
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          James McCarthy too 🙁 At least Shane Long is on form 🙂

          1. BeachBadger

    Hi

  29. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    keep adm or cesc? one has to go to raise funds

    1. Brian (Not the Messiah)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      everyone told me to do Cesc.. sad to lose him, but I guess it needs to happen.

      1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        yh he's so consistent. Had him down as season keeper at the start

  30. Brian (Not the Messiah)
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Welbeck-> Austin this week and then Fabregas-> Sanchez next. Or take a hit and avoid the price rises?

    1. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Take a hit, Fábregas is supposedly out anyway.

    2. Villan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      DEpends if you'll be priced out. Looking at the fixtures it might not be worth the hit
