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.

    So my 2 heavy mids as of GW13 should be.........? select 2

    either Sanchez or ADM (not enough TV for both)

    And one of
    Fabregas (got him at 9m)
    Walcott
    Silva

    1. Sunny 😎

      Fabregas and Sanchez - Consistency + Explosiveness

      Get Walcott only if Wenger confirms he is fit enough to start

    2. rickardinho

      i think downing, siggy, oscar, tadic, and chadli have disproved the concept of "heavy mids" so far this season.

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

      Im currently on Fab and Sanchez but Hazard is looking like he will explode soon and he isnt that far behind Fab as it is.

    middle one

      Euuugh!

  3. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Stick with tadic? Or get rid? I already have oscar fab sanchez ADM

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

      oscar fab sanchez adm tadic midfield? And aguero + cheapies the rest of the team?

      1. Jonny Sutt
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I don't have aguero, I have costa sakho Berahino

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

          Oscar fab and Costa, no aguero? Not the best gameweek then.. :/

          1. Jonny Sutt
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Terrible, chambers and foster didn't help.

    2. Moin

      Tadic --> Siggy next week

      1. Jonny Sutt
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        If I know I can't afford to bring him back in after, should that be a concern? Or do I think his price will drop?

  4. Christina.
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Pele's stats(shots on target) over the last 4 weeks are shocking.

    To think he played STOKE/hull/LEIC in those weeks....

    😕

    1. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Sold.him last night. Was dreadful against leiscter

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

      Selling now or after villa?

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

        I will sleep on it for two weeks.

        Tempted to dump prior to Villa.

  5. Doctor X
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Are people looking to offload Pelle/Tadic after the Villa game?

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

      Sold Tadic last week.

      Pelle next.

    2. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Shipped pelle. Thinking of selling taduc too

    3. Your Mum Zohore
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Might offload Tadic after the Villa game for Sterling.

    4. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Recent trends show that a lot are doing it before the Villa game too.

    5. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

    6. Punty
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Kind of want to do Pelle+Fabregas -> Costa+Sigurdsson.. but not sure if it's worth it with Costa YCs, and I fear that Pelle will do good in the next gw's..

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

        Pelle is also on 4 y's

    7. mookie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      definetly offloading Tadic and probably never get him back (don’t have Siggy so it’s an easy decision even for a hit)

      1. Doctor X
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Interesting. Mass exodus in progress then.

        Who are you lot going for in that price range?

  6. andres
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    a adm, pelle => costa, siggy (-4)
    B pelle => austin
    C other?

    Forster (McCarthy)
    Chambers Baines Clyne (Moore Naylor)
    downing ADM Haz Alexis (Boyd)
    Aguero Sakho Pelle
    1FT, 0.7

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      A next week

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

    In your opinion, what's the better moves;

    ADM and Welbz > Chadli and Costa

    or

    ADM and Welbz > Sanchez and Austin/Sakho

    or

    ADM and Tadic > Sanchez and Chadli/Downing

    1. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Keep ADM but get Costa

    Guys plz i need help there

    IF the only way to get Agüero is Selling ADM & Pelle Would u do it ???

    Yaaay

    Naay

    ADM & Pelle > 4.3 M player & Agüero

    i have ; FAB , Siggy , Dowing , Sanchez , Costa & Berahino

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I would still a solid front 7 and Aguero is a must have

  9. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Is any1 else thinking of shipping out chambers for 4.7?

    1. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Sold him before last GW

      1. Jonny Sutt
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Who for?

        1. Sunny 😎
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Cresswell would be a good option if you have the cash.

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

      Not my biggest concern at the minute

  10. Who Ate All Depays?
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Siggy or Chadli to replace Fab ?

    need funds for Costa

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

      Siggy

    2. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Siggy

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

      Siggy imo

    4. Who Ate All Depays?
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      but chadli has more goals

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

      Siggy

    6. Who Ate All Depays?
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      thanx for the reply guys..no ambiguity

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

    A) Save FT
    B) Fabregas+Pelle -> Sigurdsson+Costa (-4)

    Costas suspension-risk not worth getting now? Wait a week at least and get Sigurdsson+Costa/Rooney/Sturridge with 2FT then?

    The team now is:

    Krul
    Clyne Baines Dummett
    Fábregas Sánchez Downing Di María Chadli
    Pellè Agüero

    Subs: Schmeichel Berahino Duff Wisdom

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

      Oh crap.. 0.0 ITB for option B, think I won't afford it in a week or so?

  12. Man Chest Hair United
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Having a good season so far and my budget defence and heavy front 7 has worked out OK. But Baines is burning me week after week.

    Forster , Gilks

    Clyne, Wisdom, Dummet, Duff, Yun

    Fab,Sanchez ADM, Siggy, Marney,

    Kun, Costa, Pelle.

    Best way to get in Baines? Im thinking of doing Fab and Wisdom to Baines and Chadli? for -4

    Worth the hit?

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

      Not for a hit imo. Also, i think ADM is someone i would remove before fabregas.

  13. Sunny 😎
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    If Fabregas is really injured then what is the best replacement under £9.6m?

    Already got Chadli, Sanchez and Downing

    1. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling or siggy

      1. Sunny 😎
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Sterling! I forgot about him. He would be the perfect replacement if Studge is back

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

      Siggy if you wanna downgrade and ADM if you can upgrade

      1. Sunny 😎
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Can't upgrade and don't want Siggy as he has City next. Will get him later

    3. Man Chest Hair United
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling should be good again soon. Siggy looks good value still

      1. Sunny 😎
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        True but a week too early to get him as he has City next

    4. The Ginga Ninja
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Eriksen 100%......

  14. bluetiger
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Up to 154 OR overnight! Early days yet but thinking of replacing Fabregas with Siggy is he's out with an injury. Any better options?

    Guzan
    Baines/ Bertrand/ Chambers
    Fabregas/ Chadli/ Downing/ Sanchez
    Aguero/ Costa/ Pelle

    Duff/ Moore/ Boyd

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Killing it nice team and rank. I think Fab will play next GW but still not a bad option as Siggy is great value.

  15. Delhidynamo
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    What are people doing with Berahino?

    His England game is something to look forward to

    1. Crystal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Selling for Austin looks a good move

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

        Austin just looks perfect to blank as soon as I get him in

        What about Kane or Ayoze? Seem to be nice punts
        Sakho seems to be the best option but have Downing already

    2. Think Tank
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I shipped him out for Austin.

      It's important to play the fixtures AND form with regards budget strikers.

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

    Here's a hot topic for you, do you think it's possible to succeed without any Chelsea assets this season? I've just broken inside the 5k rank without having any Chelsea players at all because I feel they're a bit overpriced at the moment. Oscar is the only one I'm currently monitoring. I might have to draft in a Chelsea defender too at some point though.

    Team linked in profile.

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

      Fabregas at 9.0 (original price) is ok value still, but i'm selling fab and sticking with oscar instead (got him in gw10). I think Oscar will outscore Fab in the next few weeks at least and is much cheaper.

      Planning on getting Costa in for GW13 as well, or alternatively Sturridge if Costa gets booked against wba.

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Of course it's possible. There are many ways to skin a cat.

      I've had no Chelsea players for the past month and have got green arrows every week.

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

        Agreed. But as a team, Chelsea look unstoppable at the moment. At the same time, it's hard to pick any good fantasy assets apart maybe from Fabregas or Oscar.

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah in saying that, I'm getting Costa this week. I think it's too risky to go without him when you're near the top since his ownership is so high and fixtures are good.

          Cheers 🙂

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

        Super-nice rank btw!

  17. rickardinho
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Seems to be a new group online now, so let me ask again...

    Fabregas>Sanchez FT today before the rise, yes or no?

    Current Front 8:
    Sterling Tadic Oscar Fabregas Downing
    Aguero Pelle Austin

    1. Crystal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Can you lose Sterling for him or too much of a stretch?

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

        im 0.6 short of sterling>sanchez. not sure i want to trade sterling anyways, great fixtures and main attacker for liverpool atm

        1. Crystal
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          I wouldn't lose Fab unless he's confirmed out for a few weeks. He's not spectacular but very much lock and load as you never have to worry about him ticking over

    2. Man Chest Hair United
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I would

  18. Fader
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    0.2m ITB what would you do?

    Krul
    Baines Clyne Chambers
    Fabregas Di Maria Sanchez Downing
    Costa Aguero Sakho

  19. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Looking to ship Tadic

    Might replace with Downing, Chadli or Barkley

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

      I think you've missed the boat on Chadli and Downing so would go for Barkley

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

        lol

  20. Evans
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Guess this pair ?

    Cost 14.2m

    In the last four weeks they have scored a 71 points ?

    Clue they play for the same team

    1. Crystal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Clyne and Bertrand?

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

        How much do they cost ?

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

          not 14.2.

          His ball is dirty

    2. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Coleman/Baines?

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

        must be this

      2. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Ding ding ding.

      3. Evans
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        We have a winner !

        It is the reason I'm thinking of doubling up (already got banes )

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

          I considered this aswell, but getting coleman just messes up my rotation between wisdom-chambers-naylor, so i'd want to trade not only clyne but also one of those 3 to make it viable. not really worth the hassle yet as i need to sort out my midfield and fwd first

    3. rickardinho
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Sakho Downing?

      1. Think Tank
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Sounds like Coleman and Baines.

        I own both and it's been a hoot.

  21. Crystal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    In the market for a defender around 4.5 / 5 as need a replacement for Dawson. Any suggestions other than Chambers?

    Baines Clyne Dawson Duff Hutton

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

        Thanks, he looks decent but couldn't play him away to City. Could get away with Duff at Stoke for 1 week

        1. Sunny 😎
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          You'll have to bench him next GW but he has good fixtures after that

          1. Crystal
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Cheers, sounds like a plan. Hopefully Burnley can get a 0-0 at Stoke

      1. Crystal
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        That has potential

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

          kind of kneejerk, but had my eye on him as an economic pick

  22. Easy-Conners
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone think this is too crazy a move for 12 point hit?

    Beg (McCarthy)
    Wilson, Bertrand, Chambers, Baines (Duff)
    Hazard, Eriksen, Siggy, ADM (Cork)
    Aguero, Austin, Pelle

    Haz, Erik & Pelle to Sanchez, Costa & Downing?

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

      Too mainstream. You don't need to get rid of Hazard, he has better fixtures than Sanchez and also looked great recently. Not worth a hit imo.

      Eriksen to Downing looks shrewd though.

  23. Mr. Bean
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Of the Top 20 points players in the FPL game, 6 are forwards, 9 midfielders, 4 defenders and 1 goalkeeper

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        and Clyne, Bertrand, Fonte 3 of the 4 defenders

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          And Pelle and Tadic, with Schneiderlin not far behind.

          Awesome stuff by the Saints.

            Now you know why is is BAD to have Forster as your goalkeeper. 😉

              Forster, Clyne and Pelle have all been fantastic for me! 🙂

                question is, can they continue that form with:
                Aston Villa (A)
                Man City (H)
                Arsenal (A)

                Everton (H)
                Crystal Palace (A)
                Chelsea (H)

        Wow that is a great stat. Glad I have him

    4.1 ITB..

    Welbeck to Costa

    or

    upgrade 1-2 of Siggy/Downing/Tadic/Chadli?

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

      Sanchez/Siggy/Chadli/Downing/Tadic

      Aguero Austin Welbeck

      for reference

    2. rickardinho

      welbeck>costa makes sense. no need to upgrade anyone, though tadic might need adjusting. sterling if you can afford him...

  25. YuvalSpurs
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Should I do:
    Eriksen> Chadli
    Clyne>Baines?

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

      Baines takes pens, dead balls and now Everton are tidy at the back, bring him in asap! Less sure on bringing Chadli now, needed to be done a few weeks ago.

        First week it has beat the average I think.

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

          It has been pathetically low recently but ai guess thats to be expected early on

            Will be pretty tough soon with the quality & similar teams left.

    So at last all the Welbz owners are realizing he is KAK.

    🙄

      Well, he isn't. 😕

    3. gatherjunk

      Good player who played well, got an assist and deserved a 2nd assist. One of the top strikers in the league in a dysfunctional team.

      1. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        a 7m Arsenal striker is always going get something so not a complete failure

    4. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      7,1,5,5

      And that's when he is kak. imagine when he plays well

      1. Willis.
        • 14 Years

        Oh trust me, Welbeck has been playing out of his skin the past few weeks. It just happens to be that he is shite.

      2. Christina.
        • 16 Years

        Pelle: 15,5,2,5
        Sakho: 12,8,0,2
        Austin: 5,13,6,7

        1. Defcons are for Kinnear
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          OK, I tried and failed miserably . He is kak and needs to leave my team

        2. Christina.
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Ayoze: 1,8,8,7

          Yes, wtf is he?

          Exactly.

    5. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years

      He's not Kak - it's just a lot of people are expecting he will be a 9M striker priced at 7M, so they're disappointed in his returns. But he's actually at a fairly accurate price IMO.

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

        True, just saying that one needs to forget about the fact that he is an "under priced" Arsenal striker and just get someone that actually does well in FPL.

    2. HVT

  30. Your Mum Zohore

    Got 1.1 in the bank, which would be a better move:

    Clyne/ Jags => Azpi

    Or

    Tadic => Sterling

    Thanks guys!
