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

    I'm glad Aguero is having this little break. The game is much better for it.

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

      especially with the fixtures he would have had, would have been all the same captaincy throughout december. this mixes it up a LOT.

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

      Screwed my team but yeah better game though

    3. Rupert The Horse

      Squads will really change up. If he's out until end of \\jan the WC's will throw up so much more.

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

        Yeah...It's in a good place right now. Kane at one end and RVP at the other and I've no idea who is better really...probably not a lot in it..

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

      Absolutely. No gimmes any more.

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

      I agree
      I said the same thing last year when we all had Suarez every week

      Much more fun playing about with options

      sad, but true.
      Kun is one of favourite players to watch.

      from a fantasy football point of view though, his absence really makes things more unpredictable and exciting.

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

        He timed it just right..80%+ captaincy and 90%+ownership the week he got injured...It was getting daft

    With the Jan WC on the horisan is offensive changes better the defensive?

  3. PMC3
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Not sure what to do with my keeper situation:

    Courtois, Hamer.

    Court ->
    a) Alnwick for the money
    b) De Gea
    c) Hart
    d) Save FT and role with Hamer

    Foster | Myhill
    Hutton | Clichy | wisdom | Dummett | Taylor Newcastle
    Fabregas | Yaya | hazard | Sanchez | Siggy
    Costa | Sakho | bony

    Should I do Fabregas to Downing?

    Gives me extra 3m to upgrade defence.

    Cheers

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Fab to Eriksen

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

      Yeah

  6. Evans
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    If I do this

    Siggy to Eriksen
    Dzeko to Bony

    It gives me a front eight

    Yaya, hazard, Sanchez, Eriksen, Downing
    Kane, Bony, Austin

    Who do you bench ?

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      kane

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

        Would you still do the transfers ?

        1. Dušan Citizen
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Maybe just Dzeko to Bony

      2. Torres76
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Or should I sell Costa instead? Concerned about his high ownership killing me when he goes wild

      3. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        With Burnley at home?

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

      That surely depends on the week in question and your injuries

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

      got to be kane but i would not do the transfers

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

        What would you do ?

  7. Chris.R
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Need to get rid of Chadli;
    Courtois (Mannone)
    Azpilicueta, Clichy, Naylor (Smalling, Hutton)
    Downing, Yaya, Sanchez, Oscar (Chadli)
    Rooney, Kane, Bony

    Chadli to Mata/Eriksen/Cazorla/8.5m ?

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

      Eriksen next two fixtures look good

    2. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Eriksen

      1. Chris.R
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers fellas, Eriksen does look tasty with those fixtures, I'm just concerned about his consistency as he often goes a few games without producing.
        Maybe it's just my memories of Cazorlas 12/13 season getting the better of me...

  8. Frank Black
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I was thinking of giving the armband to Bony next week but now i don't think it'd be such a good idea. Swansea scored only one goal per game in the last five games and while i do think it's possible that he's going to score two goals i also think that he's not the safest option.

    Any other owner feels this way?

    1. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Don't think I'd captain him away from home.

      There's also always the slight chance he gets benched for Gomis.

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

        yeah, Bony is no captain material away.

  9. The ghost of a Pug's g…
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Best 3 players next week will be...?

    I'm going RVP, Austin, Sanchez

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

      Yaya

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

      yaya , alexis and costa

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

      Ronaldo, Messi, Ibrahimovic.

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

        According to solskjaer today, eriksen is better than ibrahimovic ("best player in scandinavia, by a mile")

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

          Not what he said, and it was pointed out at the time.
          Don't spam false statements.

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

            What did he say then?

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

                cheers, didn't realize you had clarified that. makes sense then. solskjaer is still a daft prikc though 😀

    4. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Austin, Caroll, Kane.

    5. CABAYE4

      Carroll, Kane, Mangala

      1. The ghost of a Pug's g…
        • 14 Years

        Lol @ mangala

        1. CABAYE4
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Random players score well in individual weeks.

          Would people have guessed Heaton before this weekend?

          Defenders who score and get a CS have as good a chance as anyone.

          1. The ghost of a Pug's g…
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            How often has mangala scored this year?

            Anyway... I figured Heaton would do well 😉

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

              he has a point - how often did Hutton score in the 4 years before his goal?

            2. CABAYE4
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 2 months ago

              I don't think anyone in the world would guess he'd be the highest scorer!

              No idea, but he's a big lad and looks a threat in the air. It only takes one!

              1. The ghost of a Pug's g…
                • 14 Years
                11 years, 2 months ago

                Bet you a fiver he isn't among top 3 scorers 😉

    6. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yaya Eriksen Carroll

    7. joinho

      Yaya, RVP, Downing

    8. Dr Dream

      add YAYA to that list.

    9. Sadio

    Who do i bring in for Oscar until Jan WC?

    Sánchez Yaya Silva?

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

      I'm not sure he'd want any of those.

      1. RUUD!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Eh?

    2. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez

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

      has to be sanchez if you dont have him

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

    Too early to do Dzeko > RVP?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      He's rising tonight.

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

      If your set on it

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

      Its the right time

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

      If Dzeko is confirmed out with the calf-knack, no. VP has good fixtures to GW30. If Dzeko's not confirmed out, then yes.

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

    Food for thought:

    Mata now has more points than ADM, Chadli, and Yaya, has started 4 straight games, and his fixtures until the Jan WC ends are:... avl, NEW, tot, sto, SOU, qpr, LEI.

    As you were.

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

      Also, Eriksen has as many points as Fabregas.... 3rd overall for mids. 😯

    2. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Just worrying with ADM and falcao returning that things may get mixed up

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

      When's adm back ?

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

        i don't know

    4. Barry Woj
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Lol at Chadli being included in that.

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

        for a time chadli was one of the top scoring mids...

        1. Barry Woj
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah I know, I just can't help but associate his name with a terrible footballer!

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

            and his manager finally realised that lol

    5. John t penguin
      • 11 Years

      My thoughts also
      If adm returns then Wilson would get dropped and Rooney up front

      Only difference was first half sterling ruins it second half ballo ruins it

      1. Torres76
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        New keeper
        Play Sakho
        Play can and not Allen
        Play Sturridge and new striker

        Drop Johnson, Allen, Lovren and Mignolet asap

      Is it surprise when they played a side with no one who can finish?

      Sterling, Coutinho and Lallana are all good players, but none of them are good finishers.

      You need "De Gea saves" after the Liverpool attack.

    Hey guys, how's everyone's week been? Slightly below average for myself and really not changed rank since GW8.

      Best week in a while mate, top 1k is in sight 🙂

      Good thanks, all's green 🙂 It only takes 1 or 2 good GWs to have a big jump in rankings

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

        Very nice lads, keep it going!

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

      Should be my biggest jump for quite a while. Finally getting close to the Top 10K.

      1. Barry Woj
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I guess you can't complain too much if you're not changing rank!

    4. Diva

      Given Azpilicueta and Dezko didn't start, I'm pretty happy with 70 points from 8 players with 2 more points to come from the bench and Baines still to play.

  24. ronmadpirlo
    • 11 Years

    At the moment I'm benching Siggy next week. Is this the right choice?

    Other options: Baines, Ivanovic

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

      doubt those are the only options

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

        Dummett vs Sunderland at home and Cresswell vs Leicester at home have to play

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

          Bench Dummett. Tyne Weir Derby anything can happen

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

            hmmm Sunderland did well last year but newcastle should be up for some revenge!

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

        don't want to bench costa, downing or sanchez

          • 12 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          yeah, Siggy bench makes sense

            • 11 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            thx

  25. rdpx

    Would you swap Sakho or Kane fur RVP?

    And then Oscar to Hazard for a hit? Or get rid of Wagamama?

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

    Chambers or Clyne out for Clichy?

    2. BeachBadger

      Just googled this radio thing you speak of. Interersting concept. Like podcasts but continuous 😆

  28. Evans
    • 13 Years

    Eriksen now 4th highest mid

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

    Who would you prioritise out Chambers or Clyne?

  30. natra
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Sanchez | Hazard | Fabregas | Sig | Boyd
    Costa | Austin | Dzeko

    £2.1m ITB

    I have exact money to do:

    Dzeko + Costa -> Rvp + Bony

    Madness? For a hit.
