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

    Around 30k at the minute. What to do with this?

    Forster
    Wisdom JT Dummett
    Alexis Cesc Yaya Hazard Siggy
    Bony Austin

    McC, Dzeko*, Hutton*, Moore.

    1FT. 0.2 in the bank.

    Cheers 🙂

    1. World XI
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Dzeko > Kane
      Moore > Demi?

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

      You could save or do Dzeko > Sakho since you don't have Downing and bench Siggy. That way you'll have a good sub incase someone doesn't start and also some cash for next weeks transfer

      1. MMN
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Or Moore to Demi and bench Wisdom as suggested above.

    3. Sting
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Sell Dzeko and Siggy

    4. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Dzeko to Giroud?

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

      Dzeko to Sakho

    6. MMN
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Don't take a hit

      Cheers lads

    Any improvements here?

    Guzan,
    Azpi, Baines, Naylor
    Downing, Haz, Sanchez, Yaya
    Austin, Costa, Sakho

    -----------------------------
    McCarthy, Siggy, wisdom, Duff

    Have 0.7 ITB so can't do Naylor to Clichy. 0.1 shy

    1. MMN
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Lovely, good to go,

    2. 42 Rules
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Naylor - and I have him as well! Bit of card problem and not doing enough forward wise. Maybe a Sunderland defender - nice fix's and look solid?

  3. 4 ever FULHAM
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Which Chelsea defender to put in?

    1. Mavric Marco
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Azpi

      1. 4 ever FULHAM
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Will he rotate with Luis?

        1. Mavric Marco
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          He's had his rest, plays every league game until UCL is back. IMO

          1. 4 ever FULHAM
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            Thanks for the responses.

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

          hopefully not.
          hoping that he got his rest now and will play every game.

          2nd choice would be Terry imo

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

          Seems risky to me

    2. 3 years & counting
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Azpi

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

      Kurt Zouma

  4. Mavric Marco
    • 13 Years

    78pts with Baines still to play, back in the top 5K, Great weekend! 😀

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks

      very nice!

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

      Nice score. A good 20pts behind you this week but could have been worse without Eriksen today.

    3. Woeisme

      Delighted for you

    4. Parm

      Lovely stuff pal.

      1. Mavric Marco
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Aguero > RvP made it 🙂

        1. The Generalator
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          That's good! I'm on 78 but only yun to play! Put me into the 500 mark which is nice 🙂

          1. Mavric Marco
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            Wow! Quality, well played!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          Great, captaining the Dutchman next week?

          1. Mavric Marco
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            At the mo, the armband is on him 🙂

            1. The Generalator

              Thanks silver!
              Shame you lost out last season, just unlikey those last few games!

  5. Mr Tin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Looking for a little advice. Current team:

    Elliott. Begovic.
    Azpi. Chambers. Dummett. Wisdom. Baines.
    Eriksen. Siggy. Sanchez. Toure. Boyd.
    Bony. Costa. Austin.

    Looking at following transfers over next 2 GW's so -4 for all 3. Good moves?
    Begovic> Hart
    Baines > Clichy
    Eriksen >Hazard

    1. Mavric Marco
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Begovic> Hart

      Keep Baines & Erik

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

        Just feel nervous about not having Hazard. Most in my ML have him and they're closing the gap at the top.

        1. Mavric Marco
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          I know what you mean. Maybe after the Burnley game for Spurs next weekend get Hazard in?

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

            Fair point, and hope that Hazard keeps up his record of not scoring in away games! Appreciate the feedback.

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

          Hazard is quite essential.
          I also managed to close gap with him in my ML.
          but maybe you can get way with it next, as he has 3 away matches in next 4, so he will hardly be captained 🙂

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

            That seems to be the consensus. Cheers.

    2. QPRnz
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      You're on the right track tinny.

      I'd suggest that you want to do:-

      Begovic>Shay Given
      Baines> Danny Simpson
      Eriksen>Francis Coquelin

      This will give you great differentials. Also, looking at your team I would also consider these changes:-

      Sanchez>Jonjo Shelvey
      Bony>Gary Taylor-Fletcher
      Costa>Bobby Zamora

      Otherwise looks great. Thank me later, when you have loads of points!

  6. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I've got Bony - is selling Siggy mad? I feel two Swansea attackers are too much.

    1. Mavric Marco
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Keep Siggy, sell Bony if you have to.

    2. Sting
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      2 Swansea attackers is too much

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Siggy will get points whether you sell him or not. Keep him.

    4. ronmadpirlo
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      It isn't mad. Not a pressing issue if you have other transfers that need doing though. I'm keeping Siggy for a bit while fixtures are good unless he starts dropping fast

      1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Siggy, Boyd, Sanchez, Downing, Eriksen
        Austin, Bony, Rooney

        5.3 itb

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

          I assume your defense is fine then. I think I'd wait and maybe transfer downing out after the leicester match due to very tough fixtures

  7. GreennRed
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    What chance of Chambers playing at Anfield next Sunday after his one match ban? Not sure of Koscielny's fitness so maybe CB or fill in at LB? If there's any doubt I'll ship him for Bavies.

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Certain

    2. Mavric Marco
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      High. Koscielny still out

    3. 3 years & counting
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I think there's a high chance he'll play given Arsenal injury problems.

    4. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Kosc is still out, and he'll start over Bellerin and will play CB with Debuchy RB I imagine

    5. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Sweet. Hutton is out, Duff might not return even if he's fit. Can go with Baines, Chambers and Naylor , do Berahino to Austin and try and stay on course to have 2FT for the Christmas rush.

  8. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Hey guys.
    Looking to do Moore to ?
    6.1 to spend.

    Others are De gea
    chambers Hutton azpi and yun.

    Who would be best to get.

  9. The Light Knight
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    People hating on Mario so much, the lad was injured until lately and nearly got them back in the match and would have done without Super Dave

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

      With those upcoming fixtures I wish he had some goals and I'd buy him

    2. goneill79
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Have you been watching him? You seem to be defending him but god knows what your basing it on.

  10. Az
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    82 points, baines to play, and Dzeko and azpil both missed out.

    FEared the worst, but my boys have delivered!

    1. Mavric Marco
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Nice one! 🙂

      1. Az

    3. Make United Great Again

    4. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      That is an excellent score given the circumstances, congrats Az.

    5. Costa in Wengerland

      Great

  11. henryleeds
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    just did Costa + Siggy > Austin + Hazard, good transfers?

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

      Does it matter now?

      1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        yes, he needs reassurance!

        decent moves

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

          haha cheers, somebody understands;)

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

          Ah ok then. Not sure i would have made the same transfers but from a reassurance angle they're great moves!

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

      No, the opposite

  12. ZULU23
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I m on last page bottom, must repeat, sorry...

    My current team is:

    Forster (need change but can wait)

    Hutton, Terry, Baines, Yun, Duff

    Sanchez, Downing, Hazard, Siggy, Jones

    Costa, Bony, Austin

    1FT, 4.5m in bank...

    I had a nice plan, to get Yaya for Siggy... (I know that he have 4 YC, but think that he gonna be great because of lack of FWDs in City)... Now I m not so sure in that move any more, because of RVP... Is he top priority now? But in that case I can t bring Yaya so easly

    What to do? Cheers!

  13. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    If I am going to do Sterling --> Sanchez should I do it ASAP as Sterling is supposedly about to fall and risk something potentially happening with Sanchez?

    Guzan | Myhill
    Cahill | Baines | N.Taylor | Wisdom | Dummett
    Hazard | Sterling | Sigurdsson | Downing | Marney
    Costa | Bony | Austin

    1FT and 5.2m

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

      You have plenty in the bank if you want to wait

  14. 4 ever FULHAM
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Benched Eriksen ahead of Siggy today - GUTTED!!!!!

    1. Costa in Wengerland
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yikes

  15. AH 🙂
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I have the exact money to do : Siggy + Naylor --> Eriksen + Zaba (-4) , but not keen on the hit .....
    So which shall i do first ??

    Someone please reply for once

    1. 42 Rules
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Naylor out - maybe a Sunderland defender or if you want some more attack minded player got to be city one - hard to say which - prefer Clichy

  16. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Still no love at all for Walters..I would have thought Siggy > Walters to free up funds would have been a big transfer this week.
    Stoke have a bad fixture next week, as they come to the end of the toughest run of all teams, after a good opening few weeks...oddly Walters pts have all come during those games...

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Walters is entering my thoughts for a wc rotation with Austin and Siggy

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        He works well with a few picks.

    2. The Light Knight
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      CHE, eve, MUN, ars in next 5
      Also Walters is a no go zone after his OGs and pen misses

      1. timski8000
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Stoke fan here.

        Og's were one offs and he's still on pens which should be seen as a bonus.

        Not saying get him in, but certainly wouldn't discount for these reasons.

        1. The Light Knight
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Not being serious really, just an FPL burn that's hard to forger 😉

  17. Van Dal
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Stop extending motd!!! Some of us working tomorrow!

  18. Wouter
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Nasri - Sanchez - Siggy - Downing - Hazard
    Costa - Austin - Lukaku

    Bench Siggy next GW, right?
    rp

    1. World XI
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      against Hull? No way.

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

        I know, but who else? Pretty much all of them have good fixtures.

    2. Clam. ☘️
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Seems logical considering his away form. Doing it myself.

    3. WoodsyOwl
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I'd say so - only other option is Lukaku.

  19. Nickofoz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else frustrated with Siggy? I know he is only 7.0m so you can't expect returns every single week but since I have leftover funds from Aguero (and Bony for Swansea cover) I have 10.0 to spend on a midfielder, thinking ADM or Silva.

    This move will be in a few weeks by the way.

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I'd make the move over the next 2 weeks

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

      ADM has done nothing of late to show he is worth the money and Silva has yet to show any sort of form since returning not like these guys are scoring well either

    3. Mavric Marco
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I've only owned him for 3 weeks, wish I got Downing instead

    4. Ziegler1988
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I'm getting rid this week for Yaya. I have Bony as well

  20. Clam. ☘️
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Clyne and Baines --> City and Chelsea defender (-4)
    Good or bad idea?

    1. 4 ever FULHAM
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Good idea.

    2. ronmadpirlo
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      bad

      1. Clam. ☘️
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Why so?

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

          Baines is still a good option to have. Chelsea fixtures not that good. Man City defenders rotation risk and not much attacking threat (except Zab who could be rotated)

    3. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      In the long run it's probably worth it.

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

      2 nailed on players fo 2 rotation risks

      1. Clam. ☘️
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        A lot more potential for CS from the latter.

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

      i'm also thinking baines out to a city defender

    6. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Not good. Keep Baines.

        Haven't seen him play recently but Mirallas is impacting him severely right?

    Expecting big things from Lukaku tomorrow.

    Projected score?

    I'm thinking 13.

    1. 4 ever FULHAM
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      16, 2 goals, 1 assist 3 bonus

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

      8, 2 assists for Mirallas goals 😉

    3. ronmadpirlo
      • 11 Years

      2

    4. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Hopefully not, as I went Dzeko over him. But yeah, could very well be double figures

      Gnegeri has revealed his true form?

  23. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I've managed to narrow my choices down to two, but having a hard time getting from there. Anyone care to share their opinion?

    A) Dzeko + Boyd -> Sakho + Yaya

    B) Dzeko + Sigurdsson -> RVP + Downing

    1. white lightning
      • 12 Years

      I like (b). After this week West Ham have some harder fixtures & I'd rather have Downing than Sakho. RVP edges it between him & Yaya as he seems to be hitting form. However if YYT plays a more advanced role he may well outscore RVP & he'll probably mop up the baps. Tough call so it really depends on your team structure.

    Dawson has to go this week right?

    West Brom have 2 CS in the 2 games McAuley has been back for. With Hutton banned my options for this week

    Baines (sot), Naylor, (hul) Cameron (CHE)

    Surely Dawson to a City defender is my best move, and bung Cameron onto the bench?

    1. Acquafresca

      beauty. save

      1. Acquafresca
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        or ship heaton like you said actually.

        1. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Plenty of saves on offer for Heaton in the next few weeks

          But if that is to be the move then Panti is the obvious choice

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

      I'd save

  26. 4 ever FULHAM
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Is RVP really worth it?

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

      maybe, too early to be sure

      1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
        • 12 Years

        this

    2. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 14 Years

      No. No he is not

    3. Mavric Marco
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Worked out well for me today 🙂 He looked quality, almost 2012 form

    4. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      He's in form now. RVP with confidence is good FPL value

      1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        not at 12.5

        You're missing the price from that equation...

  27. Rinseboy

    So to play next week from Yun, Naylor or Wisdom?

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

      Yun, Naylor 2nd

      1. Rinseboy
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Perfect that's how I have it currently, thanks

  28. The Count of Monte Cristo

    Cahill --> Clichy for a -4?

    Bad idea, right?

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Terrible

    2. Rinseboy
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      -4 is mad and also Kolorov could start!

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Is there anyone one should ditch Cahill for, involving a hit? Or just stick?

        1. Rinseboy
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Defo stick for now, if desperate for a change get Zabaletta

    3. Sadio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, bad.

      Keep Gary.

    4. timski8000
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Horrendous. It's like you're asking Pelle to play Kolorov.

  29. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    RvP seems to be going up in price - bring him in for Dzeko???

    1. Mavric Marco
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, I would

  30. Every Dog Has Its Day
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Who we captaining next week? Yaya? Sanchez? Austin?

    1. Mavric Marco
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez maybe? Lfc looked shocking at the back today.
