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.

    If you had unlimited funds for an upgrade on Chadli, who would you pick? Currently have Alexis, Hazard, Sigurdsson and Boyd.

    Yaya seems the obvious pick, right?

    1. The Man Pastore
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yes, I'd say Yaya too

    2. rickardinho
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yaya, yaya yaya, yaya yaya Toure! Kolo, kolo kolo, kolo kolo Toure! Yayayayaya! 😀

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

      Yaya

      1. breakingbad
        11 years, 10 months ago

        My current team is as:
        Heaton(Hamer)
        Cissoko chambers dawson(Bruce Taylor)
        Jedinak Sanchez Siggy Fabregas Chadli
        Aguero Costa Austin
        0.6 in Bank
        thinking of using wc because of injuries and suspensions..
        any help???

    4. Lallana_
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yaya is the obvious pick but Silva and Ramsey are darkhorses

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

      Has to be Yaya

    6. Pigvig
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yaya

  2. The Man Pastore
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Aguero / Siggy --> Bony / Yaya for free

    Yay or nay? And why?

    That would leave me with this front 8:

    Hazard Sanchez Yaya Downing Boyd
    Costa Bony Austin

    1. Kurtinho
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Oooh I like that.

    2. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Good moves, but both are short term options obviously. Unless you are planning to use your jan WC early that's a lot of FTs used

    3. Lallana_
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I can do the exact same transfers but I'm holding back because:

      -Lose a lot of value on Sigurdsson (got him early)
      -Sigurdsson is a season-keeper for his price

      Other than that it's a good move.

      1. The Man Pastore
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I agree with that, I will reconsider and make my decision later.. Thanks guys 🙂

    4. sad_nap
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I did Downing/Kun to Yaya/Benteke but I understand the other way of doing it.

  3. FPLEL
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Is this front 8 strong enough going forward? I could get to it for free:

    Siggy, Haz, Alexis, Yaya, Boyd
    Rooney, Austin, Sakho + 3.5 ITB

    Or should I bring in Bony instead of Sakho?

    1. Lallana_
      11 years, 10 months ago

      It's great for now! Keep money ITB will be useful.

      1. FPLEL
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers, though it's my hypothetical team if I do Chadli + Kun -> Yaya + Sakho with my 2 FTs. Still like it?

        1. Lallana_
          11 years, 10 months ago

          I'd probably get Bony over Sakho.

          1. FPLEL
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Cheers, I'll be doing that.

  4. Lallana_
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Should I rotate Sigurdsson/Austin or get rid of Austin and upgrade him to Rooney/Lukaku/Bony? Only his home fixtures are good.

    1. FPLEL
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I would hate to have to rotate those 2. I would ship Austin given those choices, probably to Rooney if he plays well today.

  5. Holmes
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Are Lampard/Milner worth consideration?

    1. Holmes
      11 years, 10 months ago

      :jeez: Asking whether Lampard is worth consideration or not sounds really awkward 🙁

    2. money face bandwagon
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Are u going to play him? U do not get his points by putting him on bench

      1. Holmes
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Not every week, sometime

      2. Alister
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I've got Milner; got me 4,4,6 last few weeks so pretty solid for his price! Has hit some very good form and was City's best player against Everton, amazing work rate and I wouldn't be surprised if he continues to get starts and rack up more assists or the odd goal!

    3. The Raging Bull
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Milner good call, in very good form having watched the city vs everton game.

      1. Holmes
        11 years, 10 months ago

        How much gametime should I expect from him? Atleast 1 start in 2 game?

        1. The Raging Bull
          11 years, 10 months ago

          definitely starts 2 games in the xmas schedule and sub in the others, he will get points, an established premiership player.

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

      Not for me. You're asking for trouble with all the rotation

      1. Holmes
        11 years, 10 months ago

        🙁

  6. Nickofoz
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Wow, look at the top scoring team this week. Clark, Hutton, Carroll, Yaya, double QPR defence and benches Courtois. Just a casual 153 transfers made this season, with 11 this game week. Gotta laugh 😀

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

      Was just about to post the same thing. I'm sure he knew exactly what he was doing with that -40 this week ;D

    2. Debauchy
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah.
      You looking good in the Cup Nick , that Hutton goal was golden

      1. Nickofoz
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks. I know. I woke up disappointed to see Villa concede, then I was amazed that Hutton scored!

        1. Debauchy
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Had Hutton too , goal of the week !

          1. Nickofoz
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Yep haha, made my game week. Can't really complain but, that YC cost him two extra points. How are you going in the PP cup?

    3. Diva
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Wow, he's into the top 3,314,000 in the world thanks to that score!

    4. Test Eagles
      11 years, 10 months ago

      He got his wish though ... we're talking.

      Or her

    5. KING KOUNDER
      11 years, 10 months ago

      You must know they play a diff game where each GW score counts

  7. Man Chest Hair United
    11 years, 10 months ago

    front 8 of

    Haz Sanchez Yaya Siggy Downing

    Rooney Costa Austin.

    Does this look good or should i downgrade 5th mid and upgrade Austin. Thinking rotation could be an issue so strong front 8 could be good

    1. Test Eagles
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I'd stick for now

  8. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone considering Jon Walters?

    Three goals and an assist in his last 4 appearances. Adam not getting a game so prob on pens too.

    5.2M

  9. Lallana_
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Seems harsh getting rid of Austin but his lack of a threat away from home on top of his ban right now tempts me. His away fixtures aren't great and I'm not big on rotating.

    Austin>Rooney
    Aguero>Dzeko

    Rooney, Dzeko, Costa are a decent frontline. We'll see how Rooney does tomorrow.

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

      Keep Austin

  10. President John F. Keninnsie
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Hey DZ, how are we all?

    With the funds raised from selling Aguero, is anyone planning to go big at the back?... I am.

    1. The Man Pastore
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Hi! Who are you planning to bring in?

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Tempted by Zabaleta... He might miss a game or two over Xmas but I'll have Naylor on the bench who I wouldn't mind playing in most games.

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

      I've been there ever since I wildcarded!

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Nice rank TFF!

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

          Thanks a lot Innsie! 😀

      2. Shifty
        11 years, 10 months ago

        nice grav.

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

          I told you I'll change it 🙂

    3. Lallana_
      11 years, 10 months ago

      How big? I already own Baines and Terry. Adding Coleman and Ivanovic would be overkill. Considered Zabaleta as well but I prefer rotating the last spot between my cheaper defenders.

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Baines - Azpi - Zabaleta - Naylor - Yun.

        Pretty big eh? 😆 Happy with my front 8 though so I don't know what to do with the cash.

        1. Lallana_
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Happy with Austin? His away fixtures look dreadful. Playing a 442 and benching him then?

          1. President John F. Keninnsie
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Yeah I'm happy with him. I'll play Boyd in a 3-5-2 this week.

    4. Kurtinho
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Nope. Already have Baines and Azpi which is enough. Going for a Sanchez-Hazard-Yaya dream trio 😀

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I'm tempted by Yaya too but the value offered by Siggy and Downing mean I've got no room for him.

        1. Kurtinho
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Fair enough mate. I need a Chadli replacement, so he's the obvious pick for me.

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

          lei,CPL,wba,BUR,SUN the next 5 for Yaya 😉

          1. President John F. Keninnsie
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Same fixtures as Zaba 😉

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

              Might get rotated though. Good shout though, you've got more than a decent bench to cover him. By the way, congrats on your rank as well! 😀

              1. President John F. Keninnsie
                11 years, 10 months ago

                Yeah Naylor and Yun have some decent fixture so that won't be too much of a problem I'd imagine. Thanks a lot mate 🙂

    5. Holmes
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Hiii 😀
      Already have Baines, Coleman, Terry, Clyne, Duff. Can I go bigger than this? 😆

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        11 years, 10 months ago

        😯 🙂

        1. Holmes
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Will invest all cash in midfield getting likes of Yaya/Hazard/Nasri/Fabregas/Silva(2 of them) 🙂

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

        😯

        😉

    6. Diva
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Considering it. I'm probably going to roll out a back four of Baines, Azpilicueta, Clyne and Hutton next week. My plan B is to switch Chambers to a City defender and potentially roll out a back five for crazy differential. 😀

      1. 50pipsDaily
        11 years, 10 months ago

        How about kolarov?

        1. Diva
          11 years, 10 months ago

          That's the problem with my plan B - which City defender and how likely are they to start...

      2. President John F. Keninnsie
        11 years, 10 months ago

        It's only a few weeks until we've got the Jan WC so I think now's the time to try something a little different 🙂

        1. Diva
          11 years, 10 months ago

          That's my thinking. Although it's crazy differential, I don't think it's a totally crazy idea. Aside from Aguero and Yaya, both of which come with asterisks, the best defenders are matching the best mids and forwards for form at the minute.

    7. Nickofoz
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Thing is, I don't understand how Sagna starts BPL games. He is utter crap! I could understand giving him the odd game in UCL or cups, but not rotate with one of the best full backs in the premier league!

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah it is annoying. With a strong bench he'd still be a good pick, I think he'll probably miss just one game over Xmas.

        1. Nickofoz
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah true, he is definitely on my radar.

          What makes you think he will only miss 1 game?

          1. President John F. Keninnsie
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Without Aguero City are a lot weaker, so I don't think Pellegrini will rotate his best players much. I have nothing to base this on though, it's probably just me trying to convince myself 😛

            1. Nickofoz
              11 years, 10 months ago

              That does seem decent logic I guess, you could well be right. If he starts against Leicester next week i may be wary however, that would be 5 starts in a row...although I guess if Sagna starts against Roma and Zaba against Leicester, Zaba should start again against palace?

              Haha I'm confusing myself here, but it is so annoying how Sagna is complete trash but still gets starts over zaba.

              1. President John F. Keninnsie
                11 years, 10 months ago

                Pretty sure Zaba will start against Roma 🙁 I guess there's no point trying to figure out if/when he'll be benched, but if you do get him then I advise you get/have a good defensive sub for when the inevitable happens.

                1. Nickofoz
                  11 years, 10 months ago

                  Yeah, good point.

                  Who are you replacing Aguero with, Innsie?

                  Bony for me.

  11. Willis.
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Chadli will come good.

  12. OPTA FPL
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Aguero, Chambers, Wilson --> LOLkaku, Baines, Zabalete (-8) ?

    1. KING KOUNDER
      11 years, 10 months ago

      You need this to get a playing XL ?

      If so do it.

  13. davies
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Current team:

    Courtois 4.0
    Baines Naylor Dummett Hutton Wisdom
    Sanchez Hazard Siggy Chadli Albrighton
    Aguero Rooney Austin

    Options include:

    A) Aguero/Chadli > Bony/Yaya (-4)
    B) Aguero/Chadli/Albrighton > 7.0/Yaya/Downing (-8)
    C) Aguero/Albrighton > Dzeko/Downing (-4)

    1. fuweidavid2

      A

    2. Brazooka

      liked the C.

    3. davies
      11 years, 10 months ago

      D) Aguero/Chadli > Costa/Downing (-4)

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

      A for me 🙂

      I prefer Benteke,however.

      1. davies
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I really want Downing in, too. How do I do it? 😥

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

          Can't have them all man 😉

          1. davies
            11 years, 10 months ago

            B)? :wink:,

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

              Attacking rotations never work for me. There should be no rush to get Downing as well, he's up against a solid Sunderland team away from home this week

        2. Brazooka
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Dzeko will surprise us.

    5. President John F. Keninnsie

      A

      1. davies
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Too much Swans?

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Nah Bony is a beast.

  14. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
    11 years, 10 months ago

    If selling Aguero at 12.5 a drop won't effect my selling value right? He's currant value is 12.9

    1. OPTA FPL
      11 years, 10 months ago

      it meant you bought him at 12,1
      if he drops 0,1 now, you will sell him at 12,4

    2. GreennRed
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Depends on how much you bought him for.

  15. BigManBakar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Foster

    Ivanovic/Clyne/Baines

    Yaya/Hazard/Siggy/Alexis/Boyd

    Kane/Aguero*

    (Fabianski/Hutton/Yun/Austin*)

    1 FT. Nothing in the bank.

    Aguero to Costa the obvious move?

    1. davies
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I'd say so, unless you want to go without and be risky. 😉

      Mind taking a look at mine, TFF?

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

        Done. 🙂

      Yep.

    3. Holmes

    Hello Peps,

    Krulliot
    Hutton-Naylor-Baines-Duff-Wisdom
    SChez-Haz- Siggy- Boyd-Eriksen
    Roon-Kun-Austin

    (A)
    Krul -> Courtois
    Kun -> DC

    (B)
    Kun -> Lukaku
    Eriksen -> Yaya
    Krul -> Guzan

    Any other suggestions also welcome.

    1. Brazooka
      11 years, 10 months ago

      B.

  17. dimas np
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Hi guys, I want to transfer out Aguerro + Chadli this week.. Which pair do you think is best to replaced it? thanks.. 🙂

    a) Dzeko + Yaya
    b) Dzeko + Hazard
    c) Rooney + Oscar

    1. Kurtinho
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I'm going Lukaku + Yaya.

      1. Brazooka
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I've brought Dzeko. He's the natural replacement of Kun.

  18. Lallana_
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Doubling up on Swansea isn't THAT bad:

    "15 of Swansea’s 19 PL goals this season have been either scored or assisted by one of Wilfried Bony or Gylfi Sigurdsson. Duo."

    1. Acquafresca
      11 years, 10 months ago

      19 goals in 15 weeks though

      1. Kurtinho
        11 years, 10 months ago

        This. They aren't exactly a free-scoring side.

      2. Acquafresca
        11 years, 10 months ago

        15 games.

  19. Acquafresca
    11 years, 10 months ago

    3rd striker (have Costa and Austin)

    Bony
    Carroll
    Sakho
    Dzeko

    It's either Rooney or Yaya, so if I get one of these I can afford Yaya

    1. Kurtinho
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Benteke?

      1. Acquafresca
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Maybe, not sure tbh

    6. Debauchy
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Bony

    7. KING KOUNDER
      11 years, 10 months ago

  20. OPTA FPL

    Keep Cesc or buy Yaya? I bought Cesc at 9M
    Really want to keep Cesc all season but City fixtures are unreal

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

      I was in a similar conundrum and I bought Yaya

      1. OPTA FPL
        11 years, 10 months ago

        and your midfield will be:?

    2. Holmes
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Keep imo. Find other way to get Yaya?

      1. OPTA FPL
        11 years, 10 months ago

        My mid are: Cesc Haza Sanchez Downing Boyd
        Not a fan of 3-5-2 so dunno who to sell to get Yaya

        1. Holmes
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Why not a fan of 3-5-2? 😮 Mate, its about points even if it means going against crowd. A cheap forward will potentially outscore a cheap midfielder in the end. Boyd to Yaya and Aguero to whoever possible will not only improve your starting XI but also improve your bench 🙂

          1. OPTA FPL
            11 years, 10 months ago

            yeah you're right but I may put lots of points on the bench though, that is only negative thing about 3/5/2 atm

            you only can play 4 midfielders a week, so I think money should be invested in big defenders and keep Boyd

            1. Holmes
              11 years, 10 months ago

              If you can get someone like Bojan/Naismith, they do have better potential than Boyd plus not expensive. Suspension/Injuries/Rest means all 8 players will be utilised somehow 🙂
              Coming back to your question, Fab to Yaya is fine as you can always switch back

    3. FPLEL
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Fab out mate.

      Congrats SH 🙂

      1. Holmes
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks, hope I can come close to 50k by Jan WC 🙂

    2. NABIL - FPL otai

      Hey there fellow Austin captainer 😀

      So benching or selling? Benching, I suppose.

      1. Holmes
        11 years, 10 months ago

        *Hi-fi* 😎
        Obviously benching 😉
        Dont have many issues, so trying to sort my bench this week 🙂

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

      Well done 🙂

      1. Holmes
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks! Hope Clyne and Rooney score goals 😛

  22. Flying Dutchman
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Siggy's last 8 game week scores are- 2,4,2,9,2,7,3,2. only two good scores. So why the Siggy love so much?
    Siggy > Eriksen will be a good call maybe?

    1. Kurtinho
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Those aren't bad scores for his price really.

    2. KING KOUNDER
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Pls check Eriksen's last 8 GWs and come back

    3. OPTA FPL
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I got him at 6M, sold at 6,8M, went for Downing, still no regret now, wont get him back after winter WC considering his fixtures

  23. The Man Pastore
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Do we have more news on Aguero's injury?

  24. Gimli son of Gloin
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Finally up to 13k.. hopefully the green arrows continue.
    Anybody see that UFC last night?
    It's just about the most entertaining thing on telly

  25. Joga Bonito®
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Anybody else got Siggy and Downing and not want to double up on SWA and WHM?

    It's leaning me towards Rooney or Dzeko.

    This GW will result in a huge change in fortunes for the people who get it right. I liked the security of having Aguero. 🙁

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

      o/

      Right now I'm contemplating 2 moves

      A. Kun -> Roo
      B. Kun -> cheapo & Marney -> Yaya (-8); Power 5 until Jan WC.

      1. Joga Bonito®
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Yea. I need to change Fabianski out too. Thinking Kun Fabianski and JWP > Dzeko Sterling and Guzan

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I have both and if I'm not impressed by Rooney tomorrow I'll be bringing in Bony. He's on fire.

  26. Shakshuka
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Whats the latest on duff?

  27. Patty
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Double Swans attack too much?

    1. The Man Pastore
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yes imo

    2. A Defender's Nightmare
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Nope

    3. Debauchy
      11 years, 10 months ago

      No

    4. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      11 years, 10 months ago

      depends if it is britton and shelvey or siggy and bony 😉

      no

    5. Nickofoz
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Not in my opinion

  28. A Defender's Nightmare
    11 years, 10 months ago

    0.1 short of Kun & Austin ➡ Costa & Benteke for free. Ouch.

    1. Debauchy
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Could be a blessing or a sign then - keep Austin

    2. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      11 years, 10 months ago

      no problem, keep austin powers

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

      I'd keep Austin. Maybe he's a better value than Costa. Big if there. I own both.

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

    This looking good for -4?
    Aguero -> Tekkers
    Chadli -> Yaya

    .1 away from doing Aguero -> Costa, Chadli- > Yaya and Duff -> Baines .... -8....

    ideas?

  30. A Defender's Nightmare
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Nothing official but obviously he's out for a while.
