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.
-
Thoughts please?
Krul (Schmeichel)
Baines, Kaboul, Chambers (Wisdom, Colo)
Sanchez, Hazard, Siggy, Chadli (Boyd)
Aguero, Pelle, Austin
0 FT, 3.4 ITB
Anything worth a -4 hit for?
How about future transfers??-
Pelle > Costa next week
-
Thanks, thinking something similar.
-
-
-
Is Saylor nailed on?
-
not particularly
-
-
Seriously considering WC to get Sanchez + Hazard. How's this 3-5-2 team ? Leaves me with 0 itB
Krul
Baines Duff Yun
Sanchez ADM Hazard Downing Siggy
Costa Aguero
Bench : Zamora McShane Wasilewski Elliot
- Gets rid of Fab, Pelle, Clyne, Bego mainly, along with Moore, Marney, Naylor
- Defense is terrible, but can have a 2/4 rotation every week, maybe worth it ?-
If consider going without adm and spending a bit more on your defence
-
Fair enough.. but those home fixtures make we want to hang on to him for another 3 weeks
-
-
I would do anything to have that team.
Cheap def is the way to go, because having Baines is covering it all. Go for it!-
Great ! 🙂 I have another 20 hours to pull the trigger.. itchy finger
-
-
With sakho and Austin firing
I think u are thinking too much and going 3-5-2
3-4-3 Is the way to go..
Defence is too bad ..I won't do it-
I did the budget striker merry-go-round last time, with Ulloa and then Welbeck vying for the spot. Not pleasant memories !
But you're right about the defense, looks ugly..
-
-
Bench is too weak.
I'd bump ADM down to Chadli and get a better defence and third striker.-
Thanks! Couple of tasty home fixtures up next for Utd after Arsenal away (HUL,STO). Finding it hard to drop ADM
-
-
what a shit bench. you'll regret busting your wildcard on that team.
-
I hope I'll never have to call on them, then !
-
100% you will. Duff and Yun week in week out? Try again but by all means do this if you want.
-
Your bench will probably become more important as we head towards the rotation of the Xmas fixtures.
And you'll definitely have to call on them sooner or later.-
Good points both, thanks!
I'll downgrade ADM in a couple of weeks and upgrade defense - in preparation for Xmas. Although thats probably looking too far ahead, a lot will happen between now and then
-
-
-
-
-
Need your help please!
Krul Gilks
Baines Clyne Naylor Duff Wisdom
ADM Sanchez Fabregas Tadic Boyd
Aguero Pelle Berahino
What to do?
1. Fab & Pelle to Chadli & Costa?
2. Tadic to Chadli?
Im feeling like Chelsea will go big in the next few games. Not having Costa / Hazard is frightening.
Those southampton players also need to be ditched 1 by 1.
Tell me what you guys think. Many thanks.-
2
-
Thank you.
Will it hurt having no Costa / Hazard for the coming weeks?
-
-
-
If you're on a Wildcard, what's the best gk combo till Jan? Have 9.0 to spend.
-
Guzan/Foster is popular
-
Krul foster
-
Pic a cheap GK you like.
Then look at his tough fix, write down GWs, and check them out for other cheap keepers.
This is the very unscientific way I do it. -
Heaton & Green
-
Krul and heaton
Thank me later
Just do it
-
-
So once again Rukawa has made his transfers early.
Damn that Triggerlips... blatantly going to copy him again and then write a blog to pass it off as his own idea 😉-
lol
-
Lmao
-
-
Chadli & Pelle -> Sterling/Oscar & Austin (for free) ?
Krul, Elliot
Baines, Chambers, Wisdom, Hutton, Yun
Sanchez, Hazard, Siggy, Chadli, Albrighton
Aguero, Costa, Pelle
Bank 0.0m, 2 freebies-
Why do u want to sell Chadlii??
-
Selling Chadders? 😕
Hazard/Pele->Downing/Sturridge(when fit)-
Spurs look woeful and he's been a tad lucky of late.
CHE have great fixtures - may not be a bad idea to triple up me thinks.
Another option is to get some of their defence for the decent run....
Wisdom & Pelle -> Azpil & Austin ?
-
-
-
my actual team is at 43k.
my "maverick" team is at 1.5k.
hate life tbh 😆-
also hate baines
-
And NBA fantasy 😉
-
😀
steph curry for alexis sanchez?-
I have both, thank you very much 😉
-
now you can have two alexises for the price of a soon-to-be injured curry 🙂
-
-
-
-
I hate fab
Bored of everyone having him and not able to ditch
-
-
Hey Doc!
You could have warned me about Alexis 3 weeks ago!-
beast 😎
he's finally rewarded me after those painful GWs 5-7
-
-
If the maverick team gets anywhere near first place, destroy your real one haha
-
yes haha
-
-
-
Mane to Chadli/ Siggy?
-
Wait one more week
Villa are pathetic-
Scared he won't start
-
-
Is the name/ post combo deliberately ironic?
-
-
Assistance kindly requested 🙂 🙂
Begovic (Krul)
Baines Clyne Chambers (Wisdom Naylor)
Sterling Oscar Downing Fabregas Tadic
Aguero(c) Pelle (Austin)
1FT, 1.7itb. Just did Welbeck>Austin.
- I feel a strong urge to try to get Siggy, Costa, and ADM into my team from GW13 for their great fixtures, and Sanchez as well ideally. How do I do this?-
Sterling really needs to go. Sterling to Hazard over Fabregas to Alexis,imo.
-
Agreed with this
Maybe do both..
This hit will indeed help u a lot in the long run-
I can only afford 1!
-
-
Really? Sterling's fixtures are great though...
-
-
Feeling slightly regretful that I got Austin, as I kind of want a 352 with Sanchez-ADM-Downing-Sterling-Siggy, and Aguero-Costa-4.3 now. I guess I should just focus on building team value for now eh?
-
See my reply earlier:
'Zamora isn't nailed. Harry will play 4-5-1 away from home more often than not, like he did against Chelsea with Austin as lone striker.'-
I would have gotten Zamora just for the cheap price, not nailedness... a 4.3 third fwd allows the massive quartet of ADM-Sanchez-Costa-Aguero, plus Baines. Now I have to decide who out of ADM and Sanchez i want :/
-
-
-
-20 hit
-
this is how it is done 🙂
4,5, 4.0
Baines, Chambers, NTaylor, Duff, Yun
Fabregas, Sanchez, Siggy, Chadli, ADM
Aguero, Costa, Zamora-
Haha, thats boss.
I'm so tempted to just cut loose the hits and go crazy with a -8 or something to get this done. I know its best to wait for next GW though when Siggy, ADM, and Saints' fixtures all turn
-
-
Oscar, Tadic and Sterling all need booting asap.
Get Wanyama, Sanchez and Siggy/Chadders. Don't be afraid to take an 8 pt hit either as you need a major surgery.-
Wanyama? nah
Oscar is abit awkward in my lineup, but has great fixtures and form. I'm considering taking a -8 to get this midfield sorted, though the Saints are making me hold off on it for now-
You need a very cheap 5 th mid. You are not going to play him.
You only need 11 outfield players max at this time of the year. Your team desperately needs surgery so it pays to listen to advice.-
Of course, but I don't see the logic in going for Wanyama instead of Boyd for example, who is 0.2 cheaper. Wanyama might be scoring more but has tougher fixtures.
-
Quibbling over .2. Wanyama has points to his name so if you have the cash, get him.
-
-
fwiw, I'm planning on Tadic>Boyd in GW13 to finance Pelle>Costa, so the cheap mid is in my thinking!
-
-
-
-
-
Heaton & Duff double up.
Again.
😎-
Jammy git.
-
Noice 🙂
-
I thought you would be proud.
More to come I hope with VILLA/NEW/qpr-
Hmmmm...does Heaton rot with Krullers?
-
hmmm...not to bad I guess.
GW 17-20 is a killer for Heaton though:
spurs
LIVP
man c
new-
Krul rots with Foster but I don't trust WBA.
-
I've given up on rotating keepers long time ago.
-
Yeah...I'm sticking with Krul for the time being. He seems to be getting cleenies away and at home at present?
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Back into the top 10k, nice. Now aim for the top 4k.
-
👿
Could have been top 1k had bought and captained Sanchez 3 weeks ago.-
Could've,should've, would've.
Don't think about things like that. I'd probably be 1st if I didn't sell Costa in GW2 and had Boyd ahead of Duff on my bench a couple of weeks ago.-
True. I was stupid though. Should have acted after his first haul.
-
Yeah it took me two hauls to get him. Captaining him against Burnley kinda made up for it though.
-
-
-
-
-
-
I have taken 9 hits this season. 😯 😆
-
Arvin, where are we at with the ShackellHeaton trade? :=)
-
I've taken 0 😯
-
Not much need for hits when you keep picking all the right players!
-
😀
-
-
-
8, you beat me 😉
-
7 for me. This is the season for hits...and keeping your w/c back. Interestingly, the weeks I've taken a hit has resulted in my best gameweek rankings.
-
0 hits..
-
1 hit to get rid of Bojan after GW1. How I wish I had hung onto him 🙂
-
2 hits for me. Those two GW's I got 70 + points. I should take hits more often 😯
-
-
diame+kaboul >> oscar+YUN ?
-
How long is wilson out for ??
-
Hopefully back for Burnely.
-
-
Good morning or evening depends where you are. Whats the latests news about fantasy football world? Haven't been here for 9 hours 🙂
-
Christina could make the fabled top 4k this season.
-
😕
-
Dream it. Believe it. Feel it.

When I click on my account the link in my bio is unclickable. How do I change this?
-
Fill the website box with the link.
-
-
Last time Swansea rolled into the Etihad Aguero scored 1 point.
-
Yeah and Costa has never scored against WBA.
Tough captaincy choice this week 😉 -
The new Kun is a much classier model. More reliable and fitted with a better chassis.
-
If I had them both would probably captain Costa.
-
Aguero vs Costa captaincy choice for me could come down to which one among Silva and Fabregas is passed fit. If both are fit or unavailable, I'll probably go Aguero.
-
-
Anyone on FUT PS?
In form Danilo worth it over Aurier?
Chiellini or Caceres? -
First time in top 10k, feels good!
-
Congrats Jarvis!
-
Thanks mate. You are dominating. Nice
-
-
Top work. Tell us about your strategy.
-
This is going to sound horrible but I do not follow FFS anymore, I read comments/articles but I make my own decisions. Bringing in Costa this GW for Lukaku.
-
Good lad. Too much analysis on here at times.
-
-
-
congrats !
-
-
Transfer someone or not?
Begovic/Manneno
Clyne - Bertrand - Chambers - Caulker - Davies
Siggy - Di Maria - Downing - Chadli - Wanyama
Aguero - Costa - Welbz
1FT
3.0M itb-
Baines
-
-
Transfers done. How does this team look for the upcoming GW?
Forster
Dummett Duff Baines
Sterling Alexis Fabregas Siggy
Sakho Costa Aguero
Myhill Hutton Wisdom Cattermole-
Ticks all the boxes. Sterling could be Downing or Chadders.
-
Was hoping his form would pick up when Sturridge returns. If it doesn't, that transfer could be on the cards.
-
I went for Sterling -> Downing this GW... Been disapointed on Sterling last weeks...
-
I would do the same but now I'd be doing that for a hit and is Sakho and Downing too much West Ham?
-
-
-
-
-
Adios.
See everyone in two weeks.
\o/-
See you tomorrow.
-
Laterz...and what happened in Ireland?
-
-
Re-Re-Repost 😀
Cisse and Tiote to Perez and Downing for -4pts? Or just do Cisse to someone and play Duff?-
Perez won't be nailed on long term. Wouldn't risk it.
-
Cheers! 🙂
-
-
just play duff
-
Thanks! Save FT? Cisse's price might drop
-
-
-
What baffles me here is the love for 3 players that haven't shown us anything this season and already planning to get them in.
1) Sterling. The argument is always "Sturridge will be back soon and Sterling will be around 8.3 by then". My argument is Liverpool is crap. You don't know that Sturridge will make him better that is just you hoping. There are many options delivering like Siggy,Chadli,Downing who are way cheaper. Even Oscar. I wouldn't have Sterling even if he was 7 at the current form and the form of his competition
2) Sturridge. He is back from a lengthy absence. You cannot judge him by last season's form when his team is crap and Suarez is gone. How many of Sturridge's goals last season were assisted by Suarez? I wouldn't be surprised if it was 60% or higher. Sterling will NOT provide the same quality of service in a million years because he is not that good.
3) Walcott. The guy hasn't played in almost a year. He will need some time. He is rusty. Plus Sanchez will always be the main man.-
already some are planning to get them in*
-
I hope not much people has already get them in.
On another hand sterling is still a good option. Others are all wait n see
-
-
Agreed. Walcott needs gametime and Sterling has gone off the boil playing in a struggling team. Studge is an injury prone player so why some would play with such a risk is a little baffling.
-
you forgot Hazard
-
This! Hazard should be on top of the list
-
Hazard point-wise is not far behind even though he is not in his best goal scoring form. He will probably get better. If you decide to have him this season, then you have to be patient and not count him as a (c) choice but he will deliver big points every 4 games or so. You just have to be have him when he does. However, at that price, I'd rather have a solid captain choice. ADM will prove to be the same case as the season goes btw.
-
Thisssss
-
With Hazard, though, he always looks on the brink of a great score.
-
I'm tempted to bring him in 🙂
-
-
-
You must see the Walcott love, he is an FPL legend
Sterling will have his day again, Sturridge is very expensive.
-
-
I'm on 14 hits. Usually have my highest weekly scores when I take more hits.
-
Me too. Have we stumbled upon the ultimate ff secret?
-
It changes every season 😀
-
-
-
guys
kaboul + diame >> Oscar+ Yun (-4)
yea /nay?-
Nay.
-
any idea man?
-
See my team
-
-
-
-
Will moore start next week ?
Best replacent for pva ? -
Last week I asked people to predict future bandwagons instead of focussing on this week's. A few people made their predictions.
Moin was the clear winner so far, as he quite rightly predicted Austin
He really is the king of differentials!
In fairness, though, he said Rooney too 😉
So I'm going to ask this question every gameweek now...
*****Who will be the next big bandwagons?*****
My answer: I think Ulloa will bounce back onto the scene.-
Mata 😎
-
Hazard
-
This
-
-
Bony sterling
-
Di Maria
-
PS the bandwagons predicted last week were - So we actually had a couple more on Austin, but Moin was first!:

Two for you:
Ayoze (after scoring in two successive games)
Bojan (after scoring in two successive games)-
Good call. I considered Bojan too. That'd be the ultimate troll
-
-
-
Is it too early in the int break to bring Costa back in? I will have 0.3m to spare if I do now so I won't have a problem paying for him, more just wanting to minimise chances of losing 0.1 or so.
-
He's not playing for Spain so no risk of injury
-
-
Do you guys think Berahino will drop in the next two weeks?
