In light of Sergio Aguero’s knee injury, we delve into the data to highlight a number of forwards’ weekend displays. Wilfried Bony and Robin van Persie’s fine form arrives under the spotlight, whilst we also assess Diego Costa’s recent toils for Chelsea. The Gunners’ weekend scorers and Tottenham’s in-form Dane are also amongst this evening’s topics as Fantasy managers look to spend that left over budget from the Aguero fall-out.

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

    hazard rested u kidding me?

    1. Mr Blue
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Why would that be so surprising?

      1. Citizen kano
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        only there best player and everything plus he had rested him in champ league game

        1. Mr Blue
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Azpi is arguably their best defender (atleast imo), and he got rested...
          Sure, maybe he already have had his game out... but it wouldnt surprise me at all if he got rested another game.

          1. Citizen kano
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            not when city only three pts behind he can't risk it

            Could have been rested but with City just 3 points behind and tough games coming up, I don't see Hazard getting a rest except for the cup game

            Jose did say some players will play 5 games and I'm guessing one of them will be Hazard

            1. Citizen kano
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 2 months ago

              yes agreed costa however could be will be rested I feel fir one game

              1. Sunny 😎
                • 13 Years
                11 years, 2 months ago

                Probably, Remy and Drogba both good replacements

    2. Cruizer van Nistelrooy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      hazard already sent for holiday prior to the champions league against lisbon..don't think he will be rested soon

  3. HVT

    • 15 Years

    Rvp or bony?

    1. Patty
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      rvp is a better option, bony better value

    2. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Bony, I feel they will give about the same returns and Bony is much cheaper

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Even with a few away games on the horizon and Acon looming?

        1. Sunny 😎
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          The away games are against teams which like to concede though and the cash saved could get you more points overall.

    3. Overlordleo
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Would go with RVP if you dont need the cash somewhere else.

        The top 2,097,152 scorers in Gameweek 17 will enter the first round. If there are more than 2,097,152 qualifiers then there will be a random draw amongst the lowest scorers to see who qualifies.

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

    Guesses on the result of today's match? Got both Jagielka and Lukaku so hoping for a 2-0, 3-0 victory with Lukaku scoring goals, but can see QPR managing to score at least 1 goal.

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      1-1 Baines ands Yun

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      1-1 Mirallas and Yun to score 😛

    3. Woeisme
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      17 - 14 late bears field goal to win it

    4. Scab
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Austin wont be playing so better chances for a cleanie

      1. Overlordleo
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Nice, forgot about this. Hoping that QPR will have a harder time scoring without Austin!

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

      2 - 0 Baines and Lukaku Goal, Mirallas assist

    6. MicNoc
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      4:0 - if Everton manages to score fast.

  6. # Young Gun SEAMUS #
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    time to ditch costa for rvp

    best forward line till january wild card will be rvp bony and ?????????

    1. Overlordleo
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I went with Lukaku as my third striker. Benteke, Austin and Sakho are other options.

    2. Scab
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Would go Austin / Sakho, cheaper than lukaku and benteke and more effective IMO

    3. johnbarnes
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      With the stats Costa is putting up, it would be very foolish to sell him for rvp imo.

  7. Scab
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Hey Everyone!

    Hoping I could get a quick RMT with some suggestions? 1 FT and 0.1 ITB

    --------------------- Fabianski-------------------

    Baines / Azpi / Chambers / Duff / Hutton

    Sanchez / Yaya / Hazard / Downing / Boyd

    --------- Costa / Austin / Bony ---------------

    Im thinking of saving a FT or maybe getting chambers out for somebody?

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Save nice team

    2. # Young Gun SEAMUS #

      Duff the only real issue

  8. JaydenLFC87
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Most nailed defender for city over xmas??

    1. Patty
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      demi

    2. Dino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Mangala starting to look like a cb now but young and new to epl so you would think he'll get a breather at some point.

      Man that boy is quick and powerful though. Add in a decent reader of the game and all he needs is to work on his positioning and partnerships in the city system. Decent goal threat in the past also so could be one to watch for us

  9. Snibal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Pellegrini has said Milner might be handed a deep-lying striker role. Would be a great bargain wouldn't it?

    1. Overlordleo
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Source? This would be awesome!

    2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Withdrawn on 58 mins replaced with Pozo I can see it now

    3. Mr Blue
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Source?

    4. Snibal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Read it on twitter, source was this site 🙂

    5. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Daily Mail, check scout tweets.. Article says Milner-Nasri-Silva can be used as deep-lying striker.

      1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I didn't even bother to read it

  10. pax888
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Anyone believing this Milner hype?

    1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      there was something posted on it yesterday

      1. Patty
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        and above

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Not really, Silva would make more sense

      1. Whazza
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        He is afraid of shooting tho

  11. Doolittle
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Good week, 69 points with Baines still to play.

    Foster
    Baines/Wisdom/Naylor
    Sanchez/Siggy/Hazard/Tadic
    Costa/Bony/Austin

    Bench: Krul/Yun/Marney/Chambers

    1 FT 4.8 ITB

    Tadic -> Yaya/Eriksen for my FT? Think I'll wait until next week to get a Chelsea defender.

  12. Wingate
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Guzan,
    Baines, Clyne, Dummett
    Hazard, Sanchez, YAYA, Downing
    Costa, Bony, Austin,

    Krul* Wisdom, Boyd, Moore - 1FT 1.0 ITB

    - TEMPTED by YAYA and Moore --> Nasri and Kompany/Clichy

    City great fixtures and Nasri form and should play up top?

    1. Wingate
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Also Eriksen at 8.1 and v Burnley and Leicester next... Helloooo

      1. MicNoc
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Have the same problem. Tempted by Cazorla, Milner and Eriksen, have no idea though how should I get them.

    2. DF
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure I'd be selling yaya now. Is that just a week you gave him?
      Keep til he goes on his hols.

    3. Al Bundy
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Selling Yaya now is weird for me, especially to get in Nasri. Doesnt make sense.

      1. MicNoc
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        On the other side Hazard is a must have and Downing a really good value. Maybe it's time to say goodbye to Alexis (Giroud competition), but I'm too afraid of it.

        1. Wingate
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Im thinking the same.... 11.0 for central striker sanchez is fine but 11.0 for wide man occasional assist and occasional goal sanchez is questionable if can get Eriksen or Nasri for 2-3 mil less!.....

      2. Wingate
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Purely based on the rumours Nasri may play further forward plus the fact he is 2.5 cheaper and could upgrade the non playing Moore!!

        Who will score more u think over next few?

        Yaya and Moore (0)

        or

        Nasri and Clichy/Kompany/Azpi for example (assuming I pick the one that plays)

        1. MicNoc
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Oh well, combined, without Yaya lucky (c) - second option of course.

          Maybe consider Cazorla+Clichy/Azpi.

  13. Goonerbrotherz
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    here s my team

    clichy - chambers - hutton ( bartley - moore)
    haz - sanchez - downing - eriksen (boyd)
    costa - bony - rooney

    2.7 mil in bank! how would you invest?
    i dont want ivan/baines

    1. Doolittle
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Good side, I'd save the FT.

  14. white lightning
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Current team:
    Guzan, Elliott
    Baines, Ivan, Chambers, Hutton, Moore
    YYT, Hazard, Sanchez, Siggy, Downing
    Bony, Sakho, Austin

    Which option:
    (a) Sell Guzan, buy Hart
    (b) Sell Moore, Buy Zabaleta

    I brought Guzan 2 weeks ago for at least 1 cs. Man U could really smash Villa. Hart seems the one to go for in City defence & cs,
    Bringing in Zabaleta strengthens my defence by getting rid of Moore & he will play most games.

    Opinions appreciated & thanks in advance.

    1. Patty
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      your already too defence heavy, maybe Sakho > Giroud

  15. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    What is a deep lying forward? Does that mean nasri/Navas will be further forward of all the players

    1. Patty
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      false 9 equivlalent

    2. Cruizer van Nistelrooy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      jovetic behind kun is one of the example of deep lying forward..silva will be the most likely midfielder to play in that position

  16. Citizen kano
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    sakho to Austin clyne to demi or sig to downing ?

    1. Cruizer van Nistelrooy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      none of the above

  17. Gregor

    What's this Hazard rested business about?

    1. Citizen kano
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      some dude mentioned it on here thought as fab had his rest haz next load of shite

      1. Mr Blue
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I hope your not refering to my comment above, since the only thing I said was that I wouldnt be surprised... no more, no less...
        Only Mou knows, so its kinda strange to label it as "load of shite"...

    2. Sunny 😎

      BS

    3. Al Bundy

      1. Citizen kano

        very true load of crap

  18. JaydenLFC87

    Lampard or Milner??

    1. Patty
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      if rumours are true then Milner if not then neither

  19. The Machine

    Ucl draw in around 2 hours approximately?

    1. Patty

    Having template troubles. Currently on:

    Fabi

    Terry Azpi Baines

    Yaya Hazard Sanchez Downing

    Austin Bony(c) Sakho

    Bench: Guzan (MUN), Siggy (away), Dummett (derby), Hutton (suspended)

    1. Cruizer van Nistelrooy

      thats a good team

      1. Cesc, Drogs & Rock and …
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers. You'd make no changes? I think I'll change the captaincy minimum 6 times before deadline.

  21. saurabh.06
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    One question. If I make 3 changes and get -8. Will that affect my points score in gw 17 or it will be deducted before the start of gw 17 and the points that I will score in gw 17 will remain as it is to get the entry in cup tournament.

    1. Desertbug
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I think that hits taken going into GW17 affect your qualifying score

  22. Ninjaa
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Currently a bit worried as I have Zabaleta and Azpi. Veiws on these two's game time over the next few game week? Should I ship?

    1. Doolittle
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      They've had their rests now I think, I wouldn't worry.

  23. Doolittle
    • 13 Years

    Best City midfielder/attacker to own? Not convinced by Milner at all.

      silva, but nasri could be a good shout

        Agreed nasri looks good. I don't think yaya is worthy of bring over 2m more than him

      Nasri and Toure.

    Is it safe to come out now?

    Has the "LOL @ Dzeko owners" brigade left?

        Yeah really frustrating. Emotional rollercoaster.

        Plus my chasing rivals mostly got RVP in 😕

    For those asking about Milner I've posted a source above

    1. Mr Blue
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      ty for the source, seems kinda uncertain tho
      " It can be Silva, it can be Nasri, it can be Milner,’ said Pellegrini."
      Could be a good option tho, IF Milner is the one..

    milner as a striker,?

    Would of thought Silva would play the flase 9 as he's done it for Spain quite a few times.... With good results.

      yaya st

      Agreed. I can't see the point in Milner doing it. I think they'll give Pozo a chance myself. I haven't seen the game though. How did he look?

      1. A.T
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Ah I see Pelli has actually come out and said it. Thought it was just a rumour at first.

    ok need a top defender.

    Ruling out all chelsea due to rotation. Is anyone safe?

    Ruling out city backs (zaba / clichy / sagna / kola) due to rotation.

    City centre-backs seem best way forward til wildcard. Assume both Demi and Manga safe. Leaning towards Manga. Sound sensible?

      no demi

      Cahill looks the most likely to play them all, as Maureen has said he is resting him in the cup

      I think zabaleta is the most nailed fb for city. Get attacking points and baps too
