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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Walcott GW10: played 11 minutes.
    Walcott GW11: played 12 minutes.

    I hope you brought your packed lunches. This could take a while.

      wenger said it January. True story

    2. PMC3

      So he should be back to full games sometime in 2017.

      Hmm 78 more gameweeks til full fitness 😆

    Is Ayoze a viable option?

    1. SpinyNorman [*_*]
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Not really

  3. PMC3
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    If Coloccini is injured I will have to play both Wisdom (che) and Naylor (mci) :/

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

      oooo. i don't mind playing attackers from the underdogs, especially against City but a clean sheet is just not on the cards

    Sorry for reposting! But I need some help desperately!

    Di Maria OR Fabregas and Pelle for Sanchez and Austin tonight???

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

      Fabs. 4 ycs

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

      Fabregas beats ADM as who to keep. And Pelle beats Austin.

      So ADM to Sanchez is the best and only move.

    3. v12w12
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Not for me. Keep Pelle and fab, must be other ways to get Sanchez?

      1. bugattiveyron86
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Pelle doesn't have fixtures on his side though?

        Team:

        Forster
        Clyde Baines Chambers Wisdom Taylor
        Fab ADM Siggy Downing
        Aguero Costa Pelle

        0.1 and 1FT in bank so no idea what to do!

    Have to love early transfers during international break.

    1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      lol quite!

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        When cash is tight we are force to it. I want 3 transfers all 3 are rising and have only 0.1 spare in the bank.

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

      hasn't burned me yet!

      though it almost did when welbeck almost got sent off vs chelsea after i transferred him in the night before 😛

  6. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    People aren't actually making transfers are they??

    1. An Púca
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I've made 6 so far this wk!

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

      Yep, I'm afraid they are. Some of them are even selling Pelle just to add to the madness.

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

        0 shots on target in the last three

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

      Im considering doing it as I know I'll likely to to make it before the games and I dont want to be constantly looking over my shoulder at price rises every day lol

  7. Jafalad
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Those with Krul and Mannone: what do you plan to do? Obviously, we can get by with NEW 's fixtures but there comes a time when the second keeper becomes a necessity.

    Thoughts?

    1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Jan WC surely?

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

        Not sure Krul can keep the cs going until then SD. 😕

        1. the axolotl
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          as opposed to whom? cleansheets are rare and a bit random, certainly on the budget end

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

            Some teams seem to be doing q well with them e.g SWN, AVL, STH,

            1. the axolotl
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              i think villa is a bad place to go in search of clean sheets, maybe good for save points. other teams have them figured out already i fear. forster a decent option but a waste a southampton player i reckon

    2. Del Monte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Mannone to Foster for me

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

        Rots well but I'n not totally convinced by WBA. Is there anyone else who rots with Krul?

    3. the axolotl
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      not in a hurry to sell, would need a FT where i'd nothing better to do. if it comes to it, i'll wait till january WC to shift

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

        Fair comment.

    4. PMC3
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I would just ride him out till Jan WC. Keepers seem pretty useless this year anyway, they never get bonus and with rotation you often miss the points.

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

        Very true. Good point made.

        2. Nabs Kebabs
          • 14 Years

          what would you do with this lot

          Forster
          Clyne, Janmaat, Wilson
          Sanchez, ADM, Tadic, Chadli
          Kun, Costa, Austin

          McCarthy, Downing, Naylor, Hutton

          1ft, 0.4m

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

            Tadic and Clyne to cheap mid and Baines over the next few weeks.

    2. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years

      Innsie mate you stuck another point on me you dog!

      1. President John F. Keninnsie

        Don't rate his CS potential.

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

    5 of the top 6 owned players have negative NTI's today. That template is well and truly being smashed to bits!

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

      why is everyone chucking ADM? Arsenal hardly look watertight

      1. PMC3
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        He has got to be in the top 2/3 mids over the course of the season for me, I really don't get the sellers.

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

        shhh, he needs to be cheap in gw13 😉

    2. the axolotl
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      this year is great fpl-wise with no template sticking. it's a free for all and more exciting for it. it's like the real premier league last year 🙂

  11. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Berahino Sakho Austin or Ayoze?

    (I've got Downing)

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

      I have berahinho, after watching moth, i thought ayoze was brilliant. Might wait another week and then get him

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

    Forster

    Baines Chambers Duff
    Sanchez Fabregas Chadli Siggy
    Aguero Costa Pelle

    (Elliot, Hutton, Moore, Albrighton)

    1FT 1.0million ITB

    Should save till after the internationals/find out about injuries or do any of the following to beat price rises/drops?

    A) Pelle -> Austin

    B) Fabregas -> ADM/Hazard

    C) Save FT/wait

  13. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Who would you rather have for the next 2 games?

    Austin or Berahino?

    Berahino next two - Chelsea away and Arsenal home.
    Austin next two - Newcastle away and Leicester home.

    Austin has scored 4 goals in the last three.
    Berahino has scored 1 goal in the last three.

    Austin - Form+Fixtures
    Berahino - Neither

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

      ASutin

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

      Austin

    3. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Muppet rage unoted thinks Berahino is the better choice. 😆

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        *United

  14. Mary
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    What are people doing with Tadic? Tempted to sell but his stats are insane and he is so explosive he could go wild at villa park and god knows what he will do to liverpool and utd

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

      *not liverpool.. arsenal

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

      Selling, but for Walcott, I think he's the best midfielder under 8m

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

        good point

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

      last chance saloon

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

      I did Tadic > Chadli. He may have good stats, but without the Sunderland match, he only has 3 assist. Liverpool + Man Utd could be tough fixtures for Southampton.

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

        * Man City and Man Utd

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

    Chadli or Mane?

    Surely Chadli can't keep this up all season?

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

      chadli. Mane's fixtures are bad and he is no LONGer guaranteed a starting berth 😉

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

        Yeah that performance from Long has to put him in contention to start, watching the highlights Mane looked decent and could have scored himself

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I really hate his returns, the new Yoyo and Ramsey this year. But who knows really. He scored 6 goals from 8shots on target. I am sure he can't keep it up. But when will that time come? God knows

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

        He's a natural finisher. He'll keep ticking over.

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

          Thanks guys, think he's worth a punt, and at least assured game time over Mane

  16. OptimusBlack
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    ADM + Pelle + Rafeal out > Ageuro + Chadli +Yun in for - 8 ?

    Yay

    Nay

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Rafael? Really? I ddidn't like it, until I saw Rafael in there. Go for it

    Re-post, bottom of las page
    Could u help me on this one lads,my team is
    Forster Elliot
    Baines Chambers Wisdom Duff Hutton
    Siggy Hazard Tadic ADM Boyd
    Aguero Pelle Sakho
    2FT and 2.9M
    Should I grab the bull by the horns and go
    Forster ADM Pelle > Krul Sanchez Costa
    for the exact money tonight while I still have the chance to do so ?

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

      you'd be making a mistake. Costa on 4yc's with sturridge back soon 😉 .. also adm will outscore sanchez in the next 3-4 gw's imo. Krul is a good choice though.

  18. xtina
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Ivanovich -> Baines with FT? Or just leave team as is & do something when i get 2FTs?

    Mannone/Krul

    Ivan/ Chambers/ Betrand (Wisdom, Alcaraz)

    Sanchez/ Siggy/ ADM/ Fabby (Davis)

    Pelle/ Costa/ Sakho

    0.6 in bank

  19. Koflok
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Woke up to 83 points. Didn't expect that earlier this week. Can't believe my transfers giving return.

    Hopefully I can break the 10k mark this year

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years

      Nice one spud 🙂

      1. Koflok

        Cheers Champ!

  20. RogerC
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    This is my team. Sanchez is killing my ranking even I did quite well in the pask weeks.

    Forster (Hamer)
    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.

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

      3-5-2 with 3 sub 7m mids. Not a fan but hard to ignore Sanchez.

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

      Very similar to my team (above)

      Pelle + Bertrand/Forster + Chadli/Siggy to Austin + cheap def/gk + Sanchez

  21. istanbul05
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I will be doing Pelle to Austin either way but should I do it now to catch the rises as I need every penny to do Cork to Siggy the week after too..?!

    A) sell Pelle for Austin now!
    B) Keep FT

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

      B. Pelle has the better fixture. Points over value

      1. istanbul05

    Lee Mason what a coward. He walked towards Gomez to give him a yellow before remembering that he'd have to send him off

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA

      Yep. Chicken balls!!!!

    2. Get up ya bum

  23. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years

    Alright lads,

    Does anyone know if Eriksen is close to a drop? Need shot of him fast. He has burned me again this season !!!!

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years

      Fk him just sell him now

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, but have two frees and need to do another move to fund selling him to Hazard. Not entirely sure of WTD as other transfer...

        1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Anything, sell him for Boyd. Anything.

          I sold him today, frustrated me. I have a hatred for him/Pochettino now.

  24. SpinyNorman [*_*]
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I was all set to do Welbeck > Austin when it occurred to me that he may have a point or two to prove to LVG...

    You're staying put Danny. Don't let me (and yourself) down!

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      It's either that move for me, or Clyne to Colo...

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

      Has to go for me. That money can be better used elsewhere

    3. Qubit
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Welbeck been a little unfortunate not to pick up a goal in recent weeks. Got to be a fair shout to score at home to his old club.

    4. tarkaston
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      I keep him all along just for this fixture!

    Top 5K and still no Sanchez....by luck not skill though. I'm still not getting him in until gwk 13, nervous times ahead.

    1. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years

      He could be close to 11.5m by then Jonty. Good work on your rank though

        Could well be...but will just take it. Depends on injuries though. ManU defence is still quite stingy. Chelsea barely managed a draw.

          A late injury time equalizer for United is barely making a draw now 😉 Agree though United are not as leaky as I was expecting though it was only Palace without Zaha and Jedinak so hardly world beaters there

      Surely he'll deliver again vs the United defence, Arsenal have a poor defence, so will have to score goals, so Sanchez will be involved

      Nervous times indeed Jonty! It's a show of your experience that you haven't torn your team apart to get him. I'm in the same boat with Costa. Up to 2.3k now but next week's game against wba is a worry!

        Bloody Costa.... gonna be the bane of my International week that poxy lummox!

          😆 he's fast becoming one of my fpl mortal enemies that I just can't get right along with Rooney.

            Hopefully we get an injury to one of the big guns so i can make the swap without quite so much fear!

              Yeah that would be grand

        That's the key...would involve a big old pair of scissors to rip apart my team. Gwk 13 is when it all changes fixture wise so makes sense to get him in them.

      I admire conviction in ones thoughts. Its normally something Im strong on, but ive made a couple of bad errors by going against my better judgement this season - a harsh lesson re-learnt.

      We had identical teams going into this week jonty, but I do not share your vision

      Have just ripped my team apart and taken sterling and pelle out for Sanchez and Austin (-4).

      Hes just in too good form to ignore now, and price is just going to keep rising, so I've got on the boat. It seems a steady one

      my friend Abi who has Adebayor and Lambert up front - pretty much based on last seasons form
