QPR’s home hitman hogs the array of impressive numbers on show from the weekend, ably assisted by stellar showings from Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen. Elsewhere in our regular members’ statistical digest, we examine how Man City’s tactical tweaks influenced two of their key midfielders and analyse how a pair of returning United assets are hinting at major hauls as their minutes begin to build.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Sorry for the repost.

    A) Siggy -> ADM

    B) Save FT

    Midfield is currently Siggy, Downing, Hazard, Sanchez, Boyd.

    Only other city coverage is Zabaleta but not keen on Silva, he has always been a frustrating FPL player. Thoughts?

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I think he will be just as frustrating to own as Silva

      1. Nickofoz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        What makes you say that?

        ADM has been somewhat consistent this eason after his amazing start, whereas Silva had only 2 goals and 2 assists in 10 games prior to his brace.

        1. kalmoffit
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          It's in his history

    2. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      B

    3. AB.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      B. If fit, Siggy could easily outscore ADM this week.

      1. Nickofoz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Hmm yeah, I already have Bony though as Swansea cover.

        Any more thoughts?

  2. Bggz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Milner, Silva and Yaya too much?

    what are the chances we'll see David Villa arrive in Manchester next week?

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      3 midfielders from same team too much.

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

      Great shout. Could well happen!

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

        The Villa thing, I mean. Don't do the mid thing.

    3. The Man Pastore
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      too much

    http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/32939/event-history/17/

    I think I have 3 options here..

    1 - Yun-->O'Shea
    2 - Siggy--->Silva (double up MCI mids with Yaya)
    3 - Sakho--->Kane or Benteke

    Which path to take... I am sorely tempted by 3 with Benteke myself..

  4. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I should of gone -4 last week Coleman >>> Zab now I'm stuck with Coleman another week grrhhh

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Zab was rested last week, 0 points. Coleman scored 2 i think

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Zab 11 Coleman 1

  5. chrisdale98
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Any news on Mirallas? Will he play on Boxing Day?

    1. Kostja
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Coach said he should not miss any christmas games, but we cant be sure until the next presser.

      1. chrisdale98
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks mate, just need to know whether to sell or not to get in silva. Also u know if bony will play so if he won't I can get bony?

        1. chrisdale98
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Giroud even

  6. Richd
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Sanchez captain really does make sense. Just trust me.

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Didn't work too well for me today 🙂

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Qpr at home.

        Don't end up with hazard or cazorla captain due to advice from people who think west brom park the bus

        1. UnderstandablyDistraught
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          lol +1

    2. Ziegler1988
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Not when he doesn't start and might make a 1 point cameo

    3. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Looks shattered.

  7. TigerGaz
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    My current side is

    Foster
    Chambers/Naylor/Zaba
    Sanchez/Hazard/Downing/Siggy
    RVP/Costa/Austin

    Subs: Krul, Boyd, Yun, Dummett

    I'd like Silva/Yaya but it would mean taking RVP out and taking a 4 point hit. Somebody tell me it definitely isn't worth it?!

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      it definitely isn't worth it

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

        What he said.

  8. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    What to do with this team? 2FT, 0.7M ITB
    http://i.gyazo.com/adc6227107780cee5ec3055b81fbc6eb.png

    Guzan
    Baines Terry N. Taylor
    Sanchez Toure Hazard Downing Siggy
    Sakho Costa

    Bench: Austin, Dummet, Wisdom

    Concerns:

    Baines - Good fixtures, poor form, Mirallas is back
    Sakho - High points per game, fixture proof
    Sigurdsson - Rotates nicely with Austin but worrying form
    Costa - Not justifying his price but has potential too. Takes third Chelsea spot

    Have two major options. Either:

    1) Costa>Giroud, Sakho>Benteke
    2) Baines>Debuchy, Sakho>Benteke

    Anything else you can think of? 😀

    1. TigerGaz
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'd keep all three of your strikers and get rid of Baines, possibly for Zaba.

      1. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Was thinking that as well. Thanks for the suggestion.

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

      no concerns about benching austin??

      1. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Some concerns but this week it's a bit easier to bench him. Sigurdsson is more likely to score more points IMO. If I keep Sakho I may play Austin over him.

    3. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Probablye ditch Baines.

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

      Roll those dice!

      Costa -> RVP/Falcao
      Sakho -> Kane

      Woohoo!

  9. Blue Gaffer
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    2FT's

    1.Downing------>Ki
    Bartley-------->Debuchy

    2.Downing------>Milner
    Bartley------->Toure

    3.Keep Downing

    1. TigerGaz
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Keep. He's in great form.

    2. AB.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      3. Dont understand why you'd want to lose Downing.

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

      3, innit.

    4. NZREDS
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Keep Downing

  10. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Siggy -- ?

    Loadsamoney

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      you need city coverage. Yaya or Silva .. I'd do Yaya if you can afford it

  11. Who Ate All Depays?
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Guzan
    Baines / Azpi / Wisdom
    Sanchez / Haz / Yaya / Siggy
    Lukaku / Bony / Austin
    (Mccarthy / Downing / Yun / Saylor)

    2 FT & 0.9m itb

    A) Lukaku -> Benteke or Giroud
    B) Baines -> Zaba
    C) Baines & Lukaku -> Zaba & Giroud/Benteke
    D) Baines, Siggy & Lukaku -> Zaba, Silva/ADM & Benteke (-4)
    E) any other suggestion

    1. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I like A and C.

      I would probably just take A

      1. Who Ate All Depays?
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        who'd you suggest...Giroud or Tekkers?

        1. Call Me Old Fashioned
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I don't know, I am trying to decide myself between them.

  12. Fantasy Gold
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Siggy due another fall in price tonight?

    1. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Not even close

  13. AH 🙂
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    1FT
    Baines --> Debuchy ? Allows £2.7ITB to upgrade a mid next week then

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Save 2ft and can always pull the trigger next week.

      Baines has higher ceiling

  14. chrisdale98
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Will mirallas play and will bony play?

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Play what?

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Spin the bottle

        1. chrisdale98
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          If bony will get rested I'll swap for giroud

      2. Bggz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        the fool

    2. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Bony for sure, Mirallas likely

  15. UnderstandablyDistraught
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    You're all such drama queens on Sunday nights

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yep. Suddenly Sanchez is dispoable . Makes me want to scream...

  16. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Fabregas below 14 points tomorrow and he has to go.

    1. Ser Football 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Fabregas is a season keeper

      1. A.
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        There are no season keepers

        1. AB.
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I have to disagree. Krul, De Gea, Lloris, Hart and others are all likely to be Keepers for the season. 😉

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

        I agree but it's tough for us with azpi fab and Costa..be nice to have hazard

        1. A.
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Haz over Fab is a no brainer at this point imo. Earlier in the season Fab was a better pick, but Haz caught up and overtook him

          1. Richd
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            I've had fab since gw1 and more consistent. Totally disagree its a no brainer. Only better thing is more captain potential..

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

      Setting the bar high are we?

      1. Heydudes13
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        9.7m he cost me!!

  17. CCaddy
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Who's price is rising tonight?

    1. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Kane

    2. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Kane

  18. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Should I -

    Yun >>>> Hutton
    Coleman >>> Zab

    My back line
    Hart
    Coleman Azpi Reid Yun Saylor

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Or both -4

      Or OShea and Zab -4

    2. AB.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Decent backline already. I'd be tempted to save the transfer.

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Just worried about rotation for Azpi and only Yun Saylor and Reid all have tough fixtures

  19. Van Dal
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Only Kane rising tonight.

    What about fallers?

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Mutch

  20. YTUMAMMA
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    and fallers?

  21. Baby Cuties
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Can't access the rules on my phone, so can someone tell me the WC window dates kindly?

    1. A.
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      After the start of GW20 (ie. for GW21 on the 10th Jan) up til the deadline for GW24 on the 7th Feb

  22. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Need to get rid of Moore but if I did it this week I wouldn't play whoever I bought. So do it anyway so I have cover for any no shows, or save the trannie?

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      What's your budget. I have similar , but 4.2 mill is meh without Yun so considering just changing my Krul

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        4.8 Ben Davies?

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Having a free transfer to get rid of an injured/rested big hitter could be far more useful than Alan Hutton or Wisdom coming off the bench

    3. Ziegler1988
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Same dilemma. Leaning towards saving and then bringing in Hutton or Clark for Moore unless something else piques my interest

    4. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      May as well save and do it Boxing Day

    5. A.
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'd save the transfer unless price rises/falls would incapacitate you.
      Although it depends how much i trust my conviction. I've often planned to do something boring the following GW, like fix my bench, but having 2 FTs to use means some other transfers will then look much more appealing and you won't get rid of Moore at all!

    6. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Think I'll stick. Cheers all,Moore may even get rotated in 😉

  23. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on Costa > Falcao ?

    1. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Benteke/Giroud more reliable options

  24. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Best 5.3 or under Mid? (all nailed)

    1.Ki
    2.jedinak
    3.ameobi

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      2, if only b/c he's on PK duties. Ki has played all games, so more likely to be rested. Ameobi ... meh

    2. AH 🙂
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      walters .

      1. Total Foot 5
        • 12 Years

        yep forgot about walter, good mention.

  25. chrisdale98
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Any changes?

    Hart
    Azpilicueta, Clichy, Jagielka(bavies)
    Siggy, Sanchez, hazard, downing, Mirallas
    Bony, Austin, Costa

  26. The Shadow
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    With West Ham away to Chelsea, should we expect a repeat of last season's 19th century football style?

    1. Ando
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Hahahaha I remember when Mourinho said that, I almost died of laughter 😀

    2. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      WHU is a different team, but I could see a little bus parking

  27. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Any word on Sigurdsson from Monk, or are we still clueless?

    And also, after returning back to my usually way of picking an unsuccessful captain who do I opt for on Boxing Day?

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez is this weeks Austin

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No and Sanchez he might be rested

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        So could many players. We do have vice captains too... If he's really got chronic fatigue as diagnosed by FFS

        1. Parm
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          He was only rested last week ffs, bloody foreigners and their Winter breaks!

          1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            I was taking the p*ss when you said you usually get a captain fail so I posted the name of the player who everyone thinks will be rested 🙂 I was only trying to have a joke with you tbh . I agree with Flapjack its possible but nobody knows its up to Wenger

            1. Parm
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              I was joking too by the way, but may still go for Alexis.

    3. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years

      RVP again perhaps lol

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Lol he only scores when I don't captain him 🙁

    4. Van Dal
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Hazard.

      Austin has eleven goals and we're not half way through the season. I wouldn't rotate him.

    Is there an optimum time for me to play my Jan WC considering I own Bony, Yaya and Yun? Or should I just take a few hits?

      You gotta just play it by ear tbh, I'd prefer a minus 4 than an early wildcard. Still got my season long wc

        Same here. Feels like it's wasting away though.
