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.

    Which 2 would u prefer in ur team?

    A) chambers and tadic
    B) creswell and siggy

    Any why?

    Cheers guys

    1. BeachBadger
      11 years, 11 months ago

      B. Better form and fixtures. Chambers/cresswell is debatable but def siggy over Tadic

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      11 years, 11 months ago

      B

      Cresswell is a better pick than Chambers.
      Siggy is a better pick than Tadic.

        Can I wait till next game week?

  2. kimoo
    11 years, 11 months ago

    i have ; FAB , Siggy , Dowing , Sanchez , ADM > 5.1 M player

    Costa & Berahino

    ADM & Pelle > 5.1 M player & Agüero for - 4 pts

    Yaay

    Naay

    1. Sunny 😎
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Nay

  3. Van Dal
    11 years, 11 months ago

    So how is Clyne and Wellbeck > Baines and Ayoze for -4?

    Only way to gwlet baines in without losing fabs adm sanchez costa or kun.

    1. HellasLEAF
      11 years, 11 months ago

      not sure if it's worth a hit but if you must, Baines almost a must own now.

    2. Delhidynamo
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Decent. Any other options in the Ayoze bracket you considered?

      1. Van Dal
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Bojan and zamora

    3. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Do it. I've just done Pelle/PVA > Ayoze/Baines. Not sure I fancy Ayoze as a longer-term option and may try to swap him for Austin in a few weeks, but might as well try and cash in on his and Newcastle's run of form while it lasts.

    4. Sunny 😎
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I don't like it

  4. HellasLEAF
    11 years, 11 months ago

    I am really intrigued by Oscar but have been burned by him so many times before.

    Am gonna swap Sterling for either Chadli or pay the bit more for Oscar. Already have Fabs too though, but still.

    Opinions appreciated here.

    1. Willis.
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Oscar does far too much defensive work to ever be a good FPL pick.

      1. HellasLEAF
        11 years, 11 months ago

        So Chadli for this week or stand pat.

  5. money face bandwagon
    11 years, 11 months ago

    currently with pelle and downing..which combi seems the best going forward?

    a) downing + austin and bank the cash
    b) downing + bony
    c) oscar/sterling + austin
    d) stick with pelle and downing

    1. ZTF
      11 years, 11 months ago

      C. Oscar

    2. HellasLEAF
      11 years, 11 months ago

      D

    3. money face bandwagon
      11 years, 11 months ago

      thanks for the replies! appreciated 🙂

  6. ZTF
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Lloris
    Bertrand Baines Janmaat
    ADM Sanchez Chadli Hazard
    Ayoze Aguero Pelle

    Any good?

  7. bialk
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Next time I'll listen RMT. If i had played Duff I'd be on 87 pts last GW.

  8. Defcons are for Kinnear
    11 years, 11 months ago

    If Welbeck played for a bigger team like Manchester United he'd be priced at 10m. Period

    1. Christina.
      11 years, 11 months ago

      ...and he would be even more KAK.

      lol

  9. Winter_is_coming
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone considering Caulker till january wildcard for his fixtures and goal threat? Or Jun is 100% nailed on and no reason to pay 4,7?

    1. Christina.
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Im tempted.

    2. money face bandwagon
      11 years, 11 months ago

      unsure whether caulker is worth 0.8 more than yun..especially the 0.8 could do clyne->azpi

  10. andres
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Costa worth the trouble?

    On 4 YC and injury prone, scarred going without tho..

    1. money face bandwagon
      11 years, 11 months ago

      he might score a few goals b4 he gets the yc

    2. Paul Huckin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Yes but would like him to get booked against WBA

    3. Christina.
      11 years, 11 months ago

      He is worth it. Taking a 2 week break(not going on Internationals). Amazeballs fixtures coming up.

      Forget about the possible 5th YC. Last season people didn't get Suarez when he was one game short of a suspension and he went something like 10 games without picking up the final YC.

    4. President John F. Keninnsie
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I'm getting him in. It is a slight risk as he could pick up his 5th yellow soon, but I'm more worried about the rotation he'll face over the Christmas period. I guess I'll deal with that problem closer to the time.

    5. Sunny 😎
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Hopefully he gets a YC before a midweek cup game

    6. BeachBadger
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Someone mentioned yesterday that Suarez went a fair while before getting his fifth yellow and burned loads who were worried about bringing him in for the same reason but that is suarez

    Last Man Standing Updated

    55 : safety score

    54 knocked out leaving 878 left.

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Any idea if you'll be doing any other leagues TM? Elite 64 etc?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        11 years, 11 months ago

        50/50 on anything else atm. If someone was willing to do a good chunk of work then I'd be more inclined to run them. Promoting etc becomes a task plus I'd rather know each team (FFS user) entered rather than lurkers entering regardless of their rank. Would add to the competition.

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Ah okay, fair enough. I might be able to help depending on what you need done and when you would start them up.

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            11 years, 11 months ago

            GW29 for FPL Open, GW31 for Elite 64

            The rest start Xmas/Jan WC but are easy enough to run.

            1. President John F. Keninnsie
              11 years, 11 months ago

              Early March then. I'll be starting Uni around then so I'll have some free time in the weeks leading up to that to help you out if you want.

                Would you help if you had a crap rank? 😛

                1. President John F. Keninnsie
                  11 years, 11 months ago

                  Good question! 😆 😉

                  Nah I would. I spend so much time lurking and posting on here that I'll definitely be willing to help.

        2. HVT

          Stick me in if your running it TM.

      Will be tough to stay in from next GW onwards..

      1. TorresMagic™

        • Has Moderation Rights
        11 years, 11 months ago

        1.42m GW rank survived this week. Hopefully soon you'll need to be top 1m for the GW to survive.

  12. Fader
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Foster
    Baines, Clyne, Chambers
    Fabregas, Sanchez, Di Maria, Downing
    Costa, Aguero, Sakho

    0.2m ITB. What to do?

  13. Jonny Sutt
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Can some1 explain to me why creswell is so good? Not being sarky, I genuinely need information.

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Fixtures, attacking potential, BPS magnet.

      1. Jonny Sutt
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Shall I wait till after the Everton game to bring him in?

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Probably.

    2. HVT
      11 years, 11 months ago

      You need to see Dr Doosra for that one, all I know I'd that he scored a lovely 9pts this week.

    3. Fader
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Got most assists last season in the championship

    4. Mr. Bean
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 11 months ago

      he's a crosser, 6 successful crosses, 2 assists last four matches, just behind Baines with 7 and 3

      1. Sunny 😎
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Carroll + Cresswell partnership could be lethal for hammers!

        1. Jarvis
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Carroll Sakho and Valencia, all excellent headers - exciting times!

  14. BurkyBoy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Wow... Good round, in top 10K for first time ever!

    Considering the following transfers (first two probably need to be done quick due to rises).
    A) Sigurdsson->Chadli
    Bad move? Siggy really a season keeper, and will lose 0,4 on the move. But Chadli on fire..
    B) Marney->Wanyama
    Gives me a playable 5th mid, may play him next round as Downing/Siggy have bad fixtures, but spends 0,3 + a FT on 5th mid.
    C) Fabregas->Oscar
    Fab may be injured according to JM, also plays too deep to be involved in Chelsea's attacks…his best assist changes seems to be corners. But he's also very consistent, and I will lose 0,4 on the move.
    D) Save FT or wait
    E) Consider chipping out Pelle, Chambers, Foster..

    What do you think?

    1. money face bandwagon
      11 years, 11 months ago

      A is poor move with the upcoming fixture
      B is also not advisable as soton fixture turning..rather have boyd..not worth spending a transfer on too
      C could work out
      D best move imo unless fab declared out
      E none not worth taking out yet

      so in short C or D

    2. rickardinho
      11 years, 11 months ago

      a and b don't make sense.

      I have oscar and am going to do fab>sanchez tonight most likely. oscar is the best chelsea mid to have imo.

      zero need to sell chambers or foster. pelle can wait

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

        Yeah.. I tend to agree with both of you. Oscars stats aren't really much better than Fabregas, but it seems essential to have at least 2 attacking Chelsea players, and Oscar at least is cheaper + plays higher on the field.

        Marney-Wanyama could make sense in my opinion, sometimes you will have to play your 5th mid and at least he's a better pick than Marney/Boyd I think.

  15. HVT
    11 years, 11 months ago

    I think someone on here (maybe Granville) called it last week that a few Adm/Siggy/Sterling/Welbz sellers may get stung, seems they did a tad but I suppose that long term plans take time.

    1. rickardinho
      11 years, 11 months ago

      how hard is it to call that "a few sellers MAY get stung". I hardly consider myself to have been stung by Siggy since Oscar got 10 points the round before and his fixtures are awesome for 7GW's upcoming. I kept Sterling too (regretfuly i must admit due to how sanchez did), but he'll perform well again i reckon. ADM is gonna sting some people for sure.

      1. HVT
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Agree, just saying.

    Just a big thanks to the community, when I found this site after 4 GWs I was at 1.6M overall and -50 to the leader in $ mini league.

    Now, after 93 points in 11th GW I'm at 52k overall and +70 over the leader. Green arrows all the time since then.

    Thanks a lot !

    11 years, 11 months ago

    What to do with Mannone and Pants?

    A) Keep both and hope for save points

    OR

    B) Sell. If so, which one to sell and for whom?

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      11 years, 11 months ago

      mannone to heaton?

    2. HVT
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Lol - panty nailed now I'd say, can you afford to use a transfer on GK?
      Krull looks such good value ATM.

  19. Nabs Kebabs
    11 years, 11 months ago

    within the next few weeks I'm going to have Janmaat, Tripper, Caulker i think.

    fun times ahead.

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      11 years, 11 months ago

      ... but no Baines. RIP Fantasy Genius.

      1. Nabs Kebabs

        😕

      2. Nabs Kebabs
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Baines, Janmaat, Trippier, Caulker, 4.0

        not out of the question actually 😉

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          11 years, 11 months ago

          So much flair 🙂

          1. Nabs Kebabs
            11 years, 11 months ago

            actually think thats is what ill go for long term

            Forster, 4.0
            Baines, Janmaat, Tripper, Caulker, 4.0
            Sanchez, ADM, Siggy, Chadli, 4.5
            Kun, Costa, Austin

            2. BeachBadger
              11 years, 11 months ago

              Is that affordable?

  20. ADucksBehind
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Took a hit to get Sanchez before the Int break! Could be essential and don't want to miss that price rise

  21. Magic Box
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Not sure what transfers I can do as I'm pretty happy with everyone!

    Only thing playing on my mind is Sahko -> Austin?

    Who will perform better in the next few GW??

    1. Sunny 😎
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Bojan will 😉

  22. Shifty
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Am I nuts for considering Pelle > Austin for free?

    The factor that tips it in Austin's favour is I get to see that chicken dance celebration! 🙂

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Get Nolan too then 😉

    2. Randy_Marsh
      11 years, 11 months ago

      That chicken dance is odd

  23. Jebiga
    11 years, 11 months ago

    1. Costa, Chadli, Cameron

    or

    2. Welbeck, Fabregas, Clyne

    thnx

    1. HVT
      11 years, 11 months ago

      1-But is Cameron nailed?

      1. Jebiga
        11 years, 11 months ago

        think he is

        1. HVT
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Not so sure in that one mate, check that out first before you do anything.
          I know Barfsley got injured so that may just be a short term window, and anyways Stoke can't seem to keep a cs, Colo?

  25. Randy_Marsh
    11 years, 11 months ago

    ADM and Pelle could go down 0.2 over the break each?

  26. Overlordleo
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Di Maria to drop even more during the break and Sanchez to rise or can I wait with my transfers?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Both might change 0.1 this week. Transfers will slow down a lot now though.

    Predicted rises for Chadli and Baines during the break? Looking to switch Fab and Chester for these 2 (-4 in process).

  30. Jebiga
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Chadli or Downing ? Already have Sakho
