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.

    A) Hazard Yaya Sanchez Downing BOYD
    Costa BONY Austin

    OR

    B) Hazard Yaya Sanchez Downing SIGGY
    Costa SAKHO Austin

    First option playing 3-4-3, second one benching one of Downing, Siggy, Sakho and Austin

    1. The Man Pastore
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Second option leaves me with 0.4 more ITB too

    2. Queens Pork Raging
      11 years, 10 months ago

      How sure are we Sakho will start going forward? If he is nailed I would go B.

    Guys, do you remember the Power 5? Who are they?

    I'm sure Fellaini was one of them...

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

      I call it as BMW-MF

      Bale, Mata, Walcott, Michu, Fellaini.

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

        Ah, the good times. Pretty justified to put 'em on the same line with a BMW 😉

    2. Billy Gilmore
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Bale, Walcott, Mata, Michu, Fellaini

        Mouth watering.

        Yaya Sanchez Haz Siggy Downing - not even close 😆

          Yaya - Sanchez - Haz - Cesc - ADM

          ....and then bench fodder for the rest of your team 😛

              11 years, 10 months ago

              I would personally prefer Downing over ADM but I went for the shock factor 😛

    Can't understand why so many are thinking to get Rooney or Costa if Kun is out , when for only 7.6m you can get the one and only Bobby Soldado!!!!!!!

    Hi ! 🙂

    Pantilimon
    Jenkinson, Baines. Cahill,
    Hazard, Sanchez, Wanyama, Siggy
    Aguero, Costa, Austin

    Green, Boyd, Wisdom, Moore

    Aguero and Wanyma ---> Toure, Sakho or Caroll

    Good or sth else ?:)

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Sakh it to me

  6. Mr Sarcastic
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Hutton has got 5 or more points 5 times this season.

    I've got his good points once.
    4 times he's been on my bench.
    3 times of those he's been my first sub.

    #middlefinger to all Boyd owners.

    1. Root
      11 years, 10 months ago

      ur team is too stronk

      1. Mr Sarcastic
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Also bad decisions, both my 50-50 last two gw's went wrong 🙁
        Nice 10 point swing for playing Chambers.

  7. skodaole2
    11 years, 10 months ago

    If Yaya is ok after CL game, is Jedinak -> Yaya worth a hit? Or for another midfielder since Yaya has 4 yellows and will leave the team for a while? Already have Hazard, Sanchez and will have the cash for everyone after dropping Aguero for Carroll.

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

      yaya not playing in CL

      1. Lord Flashheart

          Suspended

        2. piquiblanco
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Suspended.

  8. Pompel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Badly bruised after this GW - guess I'm not alone 🙂
    To rectify sistuation, I'm thinking

    Aguero + Siggy + Chambers -> Bony + Yaya + 5.0m def -8 pts

    Is it worth a 8 point hit?

    1. Alberto Tomba
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Siggy out looks unwise to me, especially for -4.

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

        He hasn't been returning too many points lately though, and I have Downing as value mid. Even though Yaya wonæt present the same value, I'm pretty sure he'll outscore Siggy over Christmas.

  9. Alberto Tomba
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Does it look to anyone else like Bony is looking the best Aguero replacement? I just think his stats and fixtures say goals goals goals

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

      Yeah I'm probably getting him unless Rooney has a blinder.

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

        No love for Lukaku or Benteke?

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

          Benteke maybe. Not really feeling the Lukaku love, he's let me down so many times before.

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

            Yeah, he's gonna troll us on MNF.

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

      He's the best in that price range for me. Costa & Rooney if you can afford.

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

      In a one for one swap, yes.

      Some are effectively doing Aguero to Yaya, and then a cheap striker in for a cheap midfielder.

    4. Irish Madridista ⭐
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Last week was the week to get in Bony 😀

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

      Yes, also looking at Bony - already have Costa and Austin (thanks for saving me from absolutely disastrous GW, Charlie !)

      1. Alberto Tomba
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I'm not sure what to take from this Doos, no obvious choice eh.
        I will say some of bony's fixtures were tough there.

  10. kstadz
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Hi, first post in ages so I apologise if the formatting is improper. Enjoying my best start to a season, reaching top 300, but team is currently in injury and suspension shambles.

    Krul, Elliot
    Clyne, Chambers, Yun, Hutton, Duff
    Fab, Siggy, Sterling, Sanchez, Boyd
    Aguero, Costa, Bony.

    2 FT can get me to 4-3-3 with no keeper, or should I WC? Hesitant to WC this close to Jan. Any help appreciated. Cheers

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      11 years, 10 months ago

      congrats on good start

      don't WC now

      Aguero -> Rooney/Benteke/Sakho
      Krul -> Hart

      is enough

      can sort out Chambers for -4 to Clichy/Zabs/Debuchy/Evans/Jones/Cresswell/Naylor if you want

  11. Beautiful Game
    11 years, 10 months ago

    How does this team look? Any changes needed?

    Foster
    Baines, Naylor, Ivanovic
    Hazard, Sanchez, Yaya, Siggy, Boyd
    Costa(c), Benteke

    McCarthy, Moore, Saylor, Austin

    Thanx in advance!

  12. RSe
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone think Fabs has any hope with the appeal?

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

      what is he appealing exactly? you can't appeal a yellow I'm pretty sure..

      1. RSe
        11 years, 10 months ago

        *Fabianski

        1. sinik

          ah haha

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

          so we've got Fabs, and then we've got Fabz, right ?

  13. Scoredelario
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    So who would you prefer right now out of Yaya and Rooney?

    I guess it has to be Yaya because of fixtures?

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I prefer Yaya

    2. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      - and form.

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

        Yeah but if ManU had great fix I'd go for Rooney as a captain. As it is - I don't think I would captain Rooney in any games before GW20

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

        Doos - You getting Yaya?

        1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 10 months ago

          No. Only because I have had him for two game weeks. 😉

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

            Oh I didn't even check!

            1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              11 years, 10 months ago

              😀

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

            Still close Doos - I'm 7 points behind you 😉

    3. Transient Anus
      11 years, 10 months ago

      roon

    4. Heels_Over_Head
      11 years, 10 months ago

      except 4 the 4 YCs & ACON, Yaya

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

        No worries with ACON - Jan wildcard to sort that. but yes a yellow would be annoying.

  14. Mr Sarcastic
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Could this work....
    Aguero, Fab, Marney => Sakho, Haza, Yaya (-8)

    or just go easy and
    Aguero, Fab => Rooney, Hazard (-4) and play Caulker/Marney

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

      first option will get you the 4 points sooner than later

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

      1st one IMO.

    3. Mr Sarcastic
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Thanks, starting to think so too.
      Not happy for 8 pointer tough, after totally wasting transfers last two weeks with that Costa-Rooney-Costa circus.

  15. v0lt026
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    If Kun is ruled out for a few weeks:

    A)Kun > Bony (which gives me enough money for Tadic > Yaya)
    B) Kun > Rooney
    C) Kun > Lukaku (which gives me enough money for Tadic > Yaya)

  16. Eze Really?
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Made tfrs before last night but I would have made them anyway.
    Now I have Fabianski who will miss 1 game.
    Is he worth taking a hit for? I have the money to change everything but no long term goalkeeper in mind.

    1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Daft. Just stick.

      1. Eze Really?
        11 years, 10 months ago

        My thoughts entirely!

    2. Irish Madridista ⭐
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Not worth a hit imo, the new keeper would have to get 4+ points AND be a better option in the long run to justify it

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

        This. If Swansea had bad fixtures then yes it'd be a great excuse to change. In this case not many teams have better prospects til wildcard.

        one thing for sure is he will outscore his latest GW haul of minus 2 😀

  19. NorwEagles
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Hey guys. Like most of you, I have to make some changes. Thankfully, I have two freebies saved up. I have this team now:

    Fabianski - Myhill
    Chambers - Clyne - Wisdom - Hutton - Dummett
    Fabregas - Hazard - Sanchez - Siggy - Boyd
    Aguero - Costa - Kane.

    If I spend two FTs, I can do the following:
    Myhill to Alwnick to get a playing keeper while retaining Fabianski
    Chambers to Azpi
    Fabregas to Yaya
    and Aguero to Rooney.

    In my head, these all seem really good, but there might be some alternatives out htere I haven't though of. what would you do? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    1. NorwEagles
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Obviously, I meant if I take two hits... Sorry.

    2. Paanmonkey
      11 years, 10 months ago

      tempting ! You don't want to wait for Kun's news ? he's definitely out ?

      1. NorwEagles
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I'll probably wait til after Champions League, I can afford a 0.2 price change.

        Guardians says he's out for at least a month.

        http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/dec/07/sergio-aguero-manchester-city-ligament-injury-roma-champions-league

    3. Eze Really?
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Do you want a Newcastle player for Arsenal next week? Maybe Panty for net -.4 mil and 2 keepers forever.
      The rest is sound but wait for a week with Azpi. You will save 4 points.

  20. Irish Madridista ⭐
    11 years, 10 months ago

    When do the AFCON players leave? (aka, yaya?)

    1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Not until early January. It has no bearing whatsoever.

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Fantastic, thanks Doos 🙂 especially when it's easy to swap out yaya for hazard or someone like that when necessary, it's the 4 yellows I should be wary about, but no point ignoring him for that fact.

        Lets go Yaya 😀

    2. Sarnab
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Gw20

      January WC will be there to sort it out. Don't worry

  21. La Roja
    11 years, 10 months ago

    How about this?

    Cesc & Kun out

    Rooney & Yaya In

    -4

    Have hazard and Costa btw

    1. Sarnab
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yes

      Why not Dzeko?

      1. La Roja
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Because he is extremely frustrating to own

        1. Sarnab
          11 years, 10 months ago

          But there is lot of upside this time. 5 tasty fixtures and I feel if City go for 1 at the top Dzeko will get the nod ahead of Stefan

    2. Irish Madridista ⭐
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Standard transfers this week.

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

      cant complain

    4. Shifty
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Lukaku? 🙂

      Yea think those make sense. Hopefully RVP Falcao Rooney all start tonight so we can have a look at the dynamics of the United attack.

  22. Sarnab
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Rooney or Dzeko ???

    1. Paanmonkey
      11 years, 10 months ago

      for GW 16 go for Dzeko

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

      If you put it like that Rooney for sure.

      1. Sarnab
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Yes in both cases I'm getting Yoyo

    3. Irish Madridista ⭐
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Benteke

      1. Sarnab
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Already have 3 Villa

        Guzan,Hutton,Given 🙁

        1. Irish Madridista ⭐
          11 years, 10 months ago

          I bet ya never thought that would be a problem when you picked Given 😉 haha

          I've only just realised I now have 3 Villa too! Crazy times!

          Probably Rooney so.

  23. baraka1670
    11 years, 10 months ago

    By when is Aguero's price gonna drop??
    And will Yaya's price rise?
    I just wanna do the transfers before any of this happens

  24. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    now that I've had a bit more time, starting to like Chambers + Aguero > Azpi or Zaba + Benteke for free and field the following

    ..........................Guzan
    ........Yun ᴰ Zaba/Azpi ᴰ Hutton ᴰ Baines
    Hazard ᴹ Marney ᴹ Sanchez ᴹ Downing
    ....................Bony ᶠ Benteke

    Gilks; Moore, Austin, Fabregas

    just get rid of Moore with Jan WC I think..

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

      Not enough captaincy options IMO.

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

        how do you figure? Haz home to Hull (especially there being no Fabs to create) and Sanchez home to Newcastle? Bony home to Spurs or Downing away to Sunderland at a stretch?

        plus then the week after I will probably end up doing Baines > whoever I didn't get from Zaba/Azpi and have:

        ............................Guzan
        ...................Yun ᴰ Azpi ᴰ Zaba
        Hazard ᴹ Fabregas ᴹ Sanchez ᴹ Downing
        ...............Bony ᶠ Benteke ᶠ Austin

    just messing around with options.

    Would you be happy with something like this up to Jan Wild Card-

    Foster Elliot
    Clyne Any Chelsea defender Hutton NTaylor Yun
    Sanchez Hazard Downing Yaya Boyd
    Costa Rooney Austin

    1. Man Chest Hair United

      Surely. Just that i can't Siggy, despite that long list of 'Defenders" you have 😆

      1. Joggers Nipple
        11 years, 10 months ago

        understand, dropping siggy will be hard

    This for a -8 looks rash but even if they score more than 8 points between them it will be worth it as none of the 3 are playing anyway:

    Kaboul->Terry
    Fabregas-> Yaya
    Aguero-> Rooney

    Thoughts?

      if you cant field 11 its a good call

      1. Greasy
        11 years, 10 months ago

        No I can't, I can field 10 with Wanyama.

        Thanks

    Lukaka is just going to put in a scintillating Europa performance, tempting managers to acquire him as an Aguero replacement...and then troll them on MNF, isn't he?

      11 years, 10 months ago

      100%.

      Or else he'll now troll me as I said he'd fail, so now he's going to explode, or else he'll double bluff me...

      I just tend to stay clear of Lukaku in fpl.

        Haha I know what you mean. But he has this odd Medusa-like attraction. Can't be his dreads since they're gone...

    Kun and Boyd > Ings and Yaya (-4)

    Leaves me

    Alexis//Haz//Yaya//Downing//Siggy
    Costa//Ings//Austin

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Leaves you with a very strong and very template team 🙂

    2. Eze Really?
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Way to go!

    3. Heels_Over_Head
      11 years, 10 months ago

      good and different

      not many going for the Ings despite his run of form

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

        but people told me not to do it and just do simple Kun -> Roo instead 🙁

        1. Irish Madridista ⭐
          11 years, 10 months ago

          I stand by that 😉

    4. FISSH
      11 years, 10 months ago

      get rid of downing or Siggy and save Boyd.

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

      Contemplating exact same moves, but Marney instead of Boyd. If I have Boyd, I'd think twice.

    Ok one more question

    Chelsea def or Mancity until Jan WC ??

    p.s replacement for Chambers

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      11 years, 10 months ago

      ManC have better fixtures but a manager that rotates his defense players more

    Anyone considering going 'light' up top? I'm thinking a forward line of Austin, Bony, Sakho could still hold its own and the funds could be used to great use elsewhere.
