While Gameweek 15 is shaping up to be one to forget for many Fantasy managers, our analysis of the weekend’s statistics for members offers some insight to distract us, notably the growing influence of Yannick Bolasie and West Ham’s efforts to maximise the formidable weapon that is Andy Carroll.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    What site has reliable info on price changes these days?

    1. BeachBadger
      11 years, 10 months ago

      fff

      1. RabMac
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I was wondering if you could provide the URL please.

        1. Beavis

          fantasyfootballfix.com

          1. RabMac

            Thanks mate. 😀

          1. Puyol Pants Up
            11 years, 10 months ago

            How do you check the price rises on this site?

            1. BeachBadger
              11 years, 10 months ago

              you have to log in and go to the 'beat the price rise' section

              1. RabMac
                11 years, 10 months ago

                I can't find that section.

                1. BeachBadger
                  11 years, 10 months ago

                  It's one of the tabs at the top. You have to log in first though I think

                    11 years, 10 months ago

                    Cheers mate.

                    Had to give my password, which I was not too happy about but eventually got in.

                    1. BeachBadger
                      11 years, 10 months ago

                      There's a route you can follow to not give your password but it's a bit annoying alright

                      1. RabMac
                        11 years, 10 months ago

                        Looks good for the price changes but don't rate their fixture analyser or player suggestions.

                      2. BeachBadger
                        11 years, 10 months ago

                        Nah I wouldnt rate that stuff at all. Think it's based solely on fixtures

  2. Royal5
    11 years, 10 months ago

    A. Yaya & Sakho

    or

    B. Downing & Dzeko

    1. RabMac
      11 years, 10 months ago

      A

    2. Captain Shirokov
      11 years, 10 months ago

      A

    3. kalmoffit
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Downing and Sakho

      1. Royal5
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Need City cover with those fixtures coming up.

    4. Beavis
      11 years, 10 months ago

      A

  3. Captain Shirokov
    11 years, 10 months ago

    A. Aguero ➡ Costa
    or
    B. Aguero ➡ Ings, Marney ➡ Sanchez (-4)
    .
    .
    .
    B leaves me with a 3-5-2 of:

    Yaya - Hazard - Sanchez - Siggy - Downing

    Rooney - Ings/Austin

    been a whirlwind week or so!! before GW14 I was rank 301k and now I sit on 76k!

    decent chance I stay in the top 100k after tomorrow? I have no more players remaining..

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Definitely.

  5. Dr Dream
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Why does it feel like Costa gives a replacement (c) pick instead of Sergio but Rooney doesn't...?..Anybody else feeling that way.

    1. Captain Shirokov
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I'd be more comfortable with Rooney tbh.

      1. Dr Dream
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Would you ?...If he plays as a proper attacking player then he's the business...Maybe I'm struggling to shake off these past two years when he's been shifted all over.

    2. Willis.
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Rooney is as reliable a captain pick as it gets

    3. Ziegler1988
      11 years, 10 months ago

      No need to captain Costa if you have Hazard (for the home matches at least)

      1. chinmusic
        11 years, 10 months ago

        If you like to rely on a midfielder classified as a forward

    4. Zasa
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Not me personally. Hazard is a better captaincy choice at the Bridge based on form alone, let alone his potential for double figures.

      When away, if you have Sanchez & Yaya, I think either one will cover your share until the January WC..

      I'd give a better take on Rooney after tomorrow's games

    5. Nabs Kebabs
      11 years, 10 months ago

      other way around.

      1. Dr Dream
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Mmm..I think I may need to give Rooney a good coat of looking at again.

  6. copps
    11 years, 10 months ago

    people saying the handball wont be factored in for fabianski's appeal. but surely that has the biggest impact in what happened? sakho pushed the ball passed him with his hand, may not have been a foul otherwise (or at least that cant be said for certain)

    1. Captain Shirokov
      11 years, 10 months ago

      But that would make sense

  7. Nabs Kebabs
    11 years, 10 months ago

    LORD HUTTON!!!!!!

    😎

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Duff to Hutton before the GW 😀

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        11 years, 10 months ago

        boom, nice!

  8. Snikii
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Thank you Hutton for scoring your first goal in 4 years
    Thank you Downing for being able to cross balls that are so good even Carrol can score
    Thank you Bony for proving you can score even when your team isnt playing well
    Thank you Fabinaski for being a piece of SH*T

    1. Gunner77-
      11 years, 10 months ago

      It wasn't even Fabiaksi fault

  9. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Are Chelsea challenging Fabregas' card?

    Have the impression they are

    1. copps
      11 years, 10 months ago

      lol his card was BLATANT

    2. Willis.
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Doubt Mourinho cares about Fabregas being banned for HUL

    3. Egg noodle
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Are you even allowed to challenge a yellow card?

    4. chinmusic
      11 years, 10 months ago

      You can't challenge a yellow.

      1. Sess!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 10 months ago

        This

  10. BLACKSHEEP
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Very seriously considering WC'ing. Anyone else?

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      11 years, 10 months ago

      No chance. My team is great

      1. BLACKSHEEP
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Want to swap?

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          11 years, 10 months ago

          NEVER!

          1. BLACKSHEEP
            11 years, 10 months ago

            My team has a lot of potential, and a fairly decent pedigree... you know you want it!

    2. Zasa
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Not for me, won't be able to field a full XI, let alone a good one.
      But will be content w/o the taking hits & having the WC for DGW's.
      Plus this coming GW will be very "punty" if you may. Hit's may or not pay off on the forwards spots

      1. BLACKSHEEP
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Interesting. The main reason I havent played my wildcard to date is because ive held out this long, and january is just around the corner...

        will have to think about it though, my team is in a dire state!

    3. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      If only I still had one.

  11. Ser Football 42
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Aguero and Siggy to Rooney and Yaya

    Aguero and Tadic to Bony and Yaya

    1. thecule
      11 years, 10 months ago

      B. Siggy is still worth keeping imo, he has his moments

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    11 years, 10 months ago

    chelsea or city def?

    thinking ivan or kompany

    zaba/azpil to potentially be rotated?

    1. Captain Shirokov
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Chelsea, Terry.

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I think Hart is the best City defender

    3. Egg noodle
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I'd be very surprised to see Azpi getting rotated. I'd go Ivan for goal threat regardless though.

    4. Dr Dream
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Courtois and Hart are the best two picks for over Christmas...

    5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      11 years, 10 months ago

      thanks

    6. Zasa
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Has to be Chelsea IMO, Matic is back, don't doubt that backline against Hull 😉

  13. copps
    11 years, 10 months ago

    has everyone solf aguero or waiting?

    1. Gunner77-
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Waiting to drop

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Will sell. Waiting for UCL fixtures first. Leaning towards Lukaku

    3. Mind över Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Waiting, would be crazy to sell him before confirmation surely

    4. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      waiting until after the United game tomorrow and confirmation that he's out at least 2 weeks

  14. thecule
    11 years, 10 months ago

    With Aguero now injured, who's the next best premium striker to go to? Rooney, or Costa?

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Costa imo

    2. Gunner77-
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I already have Costa..Thinking about Rooney or Benteke

    3. copps
      11 years, 10 months ago

      costa surely. better fixtures and better team.

    4. Zasa
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Not Costa 😉

    5. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Rooney or Bony. Costa a yellow card magnet, not in great form, no BPS, and Fab not there to pass to him

    6. rdpx
      11 years, 10 months ago

      There aren't any premium strikers this season, bar aguero.

  15. Willis.
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Hazard and Austin rotate perfectly for captaincy.
    HUL, WBA, WHM, CPL, SWA, NEW

    1. Captain Shirokov
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Nice, Hazard is still too unreliable though to be capping every home game

      1. Zasa
        11 years, 10 months ago

        ...what?

      2. Nabs Kebabs
        11 years, 10 months ago

        you know you will get one massive haul though

        1. Captain Shirokov
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Had him (c) last year for his first massive haul 😀

      3. djenzio
        11 years, 10 months ago

        look at his home form

        1. Captain Shirokov
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Maybe I've been swayed too much by his away form

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      11 years, 10 months ago

      hutton c

      1. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Terrific

    3. Ziegler1988
      11 years, 10 months ago

      But it's madness captaining a 6m player :rollseyes:

    4. Dr Dream
      11 years, 10 months ago

      (Grabs notebook)

    5. copps
      11 years, 10 months ago

      problem is they arent reliable enough to count on a captain every time

      1. Captain Shirokov
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Austin's fairly reliable, at home anyway

      2. Willis.
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Both are very reliable at home

        1. Willis.
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Last 4 home matches:
          Hazard: 9, 11, 10, 11
          Austin: 6, 10, 7, 13

        2. ZiDan
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Agreed. I captained Austin this week and Hazard last week. See no reason to stop yet!

  16. So Klose
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Who will play RB for Arsenal vs Newcastle?

    Bellerin or Debuchy?

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Bellerin imo. Debuchy will play UCL.

      1. So Klose
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Shoudn´t ir be the otherway around?

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Debuchy has been injured for a while and I think Wenger will play him for the meaningless game against Gala.

    2. Gunner77-
      11 years, 10 months ago

      If Debuchy gets minutes during CL, I think he could start vs Newcastle

      1. So Klose
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Would you do a Chambers --> Debuchy swap?

        1. Gunner77-
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Nope, wait.

  17. Van Dal
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Would you guys take a -4 to take out fabianksi or play without a keeper?

    Been getting mixed views when i ask this?

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      11 years, 10 months ago

      -4

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Pros and cons to both. Depends who you will replace him with. Only courtois or hart would be worth it IMO

      1. Van Dal
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Dont hink i want to shell out so much for a keeper. Fabianski has hull and AVL when he returns.

        1. Forever In Our Shadow
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Then you have answered your question. Stick

          1. Van Dal
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Aye maybe and at least he wont get a minus score 😆

            Thanks

          2. Chelsea Dagger
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            11 years, 10 months ago

            this is true

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      11 years, 10 months ago

      unless it is hart/courtois in you should play without a keeper

    4. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      -4

  18. Desertbug
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Bleh,
    Unless somehow Rooney draws a total blank of zero points tomorrow, I'll be out of the FFS Cup, despite a score of 46 points.

    Opponent, ranked 787K, boosted by Clichy 2 BAP, Downing 2 BAP and me sinking just a bit by Hutton's yellow card costing a point and losing a BAP

    1. Think Tank
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Cups are so random, don't know why people bother.

    2. Ziegler1988
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I went out of a cup midweek to someone with a GW rank of 696. Sucks

  19. NABIL - FPL otai
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Morning all.

    If you have one more FT, would you use it on

    A. Fab
    B. Kun
    C. Austin

    1. Gunner77-
      11 years, 10 months ago

      B, sadly

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      11 years, 10 months ago

      B

    3. Zasa
      11 years, 10 months ago

      B easily, long term concern

    4. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      B

    5. Shifty
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Kun

    6. NABIL - FPL otai
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Thanks all.

  20. Dr Dream
    11 years, 10 months ago

    For drama I think this week has been the best FPL week in a very long time...The polar opposite of GW8's joy when 100pts plus was common, but none the worse for that.

    1. Think Tank
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah, been a good one for drama. Enjoyed the bad weather gw last year as well.

      1. Dr Dream
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Oh aye...I remember it well. I was sat under that storm as it passed over towards Liverpool. I commented all afternoon that there wouldn't be a hope in hell of that match at Goodison being played. All the Southern FPL players ignored me..

      2. Chelsea Dagger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 10 months ago

        The bad weather weekend beats this one just barely.

    2. Root
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I got 46 points GW8. That's why I don't like my team, it's such an embarrassing score.

  21. Kurtinho
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Aguero + Chadli > Lukaku + Yaya?

    Yay or nay?

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yay

      1. Think Tank
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Not sold on Yaya yet, will need to check his stats.

        1. Kurtinho
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Who would you recommend as a midfield replacement for Chadli if you had unlimited funds? Already have Sanchez, Hazard, Siggy and Boyd. Has to be Yaya right?

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yay(a)

    3. Flicks A Foden
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      would you still do this for -4? or wait to see if chadli picks up form

  22. Gunner77-
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Would you start Heaton(SOT) ?

    1. Root
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Sure

  23. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Fabregas and Fabianski -> Yaya and Guzan (-4)

    Already own Oscar, Azpi and Lord Hutton

    1. Mind över Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Or do Fabianski -> Hart??

  24. Captain Shirokov
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Tbh, it was always only a matter of time before Aguero got injured again.

    1. Gunner77-
      11 years, 10 months ago

      It was looking so perfect to be true

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      11 years, 10 months ago

      bad news that he is injured but atleast the game gets interesting now

    3. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Agreed

    4. Dr Dream
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yep, very sad. I think the thing that makes him great, his low centre of gravity and massively strong legs, is actually the thing that kills him...I'm no physio but he's somewhat unique in his build and movement.

      1. Willis.
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Messi? Tevez? Maradona? Aguero is hardly unique. Just another above average Argentinian.

  25. Master Splinter
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Foster
    Bertrand-Azpi-Clichy-Wisdom-Chambers*
    Haz-Fab*-Sanchez-Downing-Ameobi
    Aguero*-Bony-Austin*

    Fab > Yaya and Aguero > Costa OR
    Ameobi> Yaya and Aguero > Benteke (keep fab)

  26. bigbudgie
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Wow, 24 pts with 1 to play, rooney

    Rest of ML has no United but have southampton Clyne/Pelle/Forster etc...

    A United win with heavy Rooney involvement please

      Rooney brace would help mightily

    Kun, Chambers & Austin definitely not dropping tonight ? Gonna cost me otherwise.

      Looks like Fab, Valencia, and Moses most likely to fall. You should be safe

    What are your guys on thoughts on Lukaku as a potential Aguero replacement? Leaning towards him..

      A good shout. QPR at home = big haul

      Could be a great differential. Seeing if Dzeko plays lone striker midweek. If he does I'll pick him instead.

    1) Dzeko, Silva
    2) Sakho, Yaya Toure

    Assume Silva is fit. I think he'll play midweek.

      2 although both have risk. Sakho not nailed, and both in 1 may not be ready to play (not to mention they have CL game midweek.

    Considering Chambers, Siggy & Kun to Naylor, Yaya & Bony for a hit, but just realised that Swansea have Spurs at home next. Anyone else think Siggy could run riot with having a point to prove? Might hold off on Yaya for a week! (Or do Fab to Yaya instead, but can see that coming back to haunt me!)

      wouldn't sell Siggy.
