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.

    Anybody know for sure if Giroud is now penalty taker or will Santi continue on them?

    Close to going Siggy to Carzola...

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

    Any suggestions with what to do with this?

    2FT 0.5 itb

    Guzan
    Baines Zaba Wisdom Dummett Duff*
    Sanchez Haz Yaya Eriksen Siggy
    Costa Austin Sakho

    Thinking either Duff to O'Shea, or Baines Sakho to O'Shea Benteke

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

      I'm thinking of doing those very same moves: Baines Sakho to O'shea Benteke. I think they're quite good moves. Are you worried about Sakho rotation?

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

      Sakho to Kane and upgrade Duff to Debuchy.

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

        That is very good, thanks

    3. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Also thinking Duff to O'Shea, or maybe Yun to O'Shea. I have a bevvy of injured, cheap defenders with spoor fixtures.

  3. JAC THE CAT

    11 years, 3 months ago

    When will PL players leave for the ACON?

    1. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      it is suggested after the new year fixtures

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Think they will still the fixtures on the 10th/11th January?

        1. The Mandalorian
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          That's about right cat in the hat

        2. 32chickens
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          nope

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

    Which Arsenal player will haul in the points vs QPR?

    I say... Santi Cazorla

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

      Giroud looks the best bet

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

        this

        1. 32chickens
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          yep greedy boy

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

      Im gonna go for Podolski

      1. FortunesAlwaysHiding

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

          Hmm hard to see a start there, but maybe

    3. Don Rogers FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'm hoping Sanchez, he's the only on eI have an dafter today I would n't transfer anyone in. Giroud will undoubtedly score more goals over next 10 weeks though (if he stays fit) .

      1. Don Rogers FC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        and after

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

        wouldn't surprise me if Sanchez is rested. Didn't look that great today

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Podolski

  5. Redbull Sucks
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Sakho->Kane or 5th Mid->Silva

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      The latter

    2. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe the latter as I don't think there is much between Sakho and Kanes next 5

  6. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    a) Bench one: Carroll Siggy Fabregas

    b) Play one: Wisdom Hutton

    c) Captain one: Hazard Sanchez Yaya

    1. Don Rogers FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      a) S
      b) W
      c) H

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

      Carroll
      Hutton
      Hazard

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

      a) Carroll
      b) Hutton
      c) Sanchez, but VC Haz in case Sanchez doesn't play

  7. evilp3te
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Stuck at bottom of last page..

    Anybody know for sure if Giroud is now penalty taker or will Santi continue on them?

    Close to going Siggy to Carzola

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Cazorla

    2. sy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Set piece takers show Giroud ahead of santi

    3. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Giroud is on pens for sure, in any case Arteta takes them above all

  8. sy
    • 15 Years

    A Carroll
    B Hutton
    C Hazard

      Cheers

  9. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I'm pretty worried about Alexis. His output has dropped massively recently. He's clearly knackered. Anyone thinking about dropping him?

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

      I don't have the cohonas but I do think been shoved out wide Giroud hasn't helped

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      It's more to do with the formation change than anything else. Completely different role

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

        Indeed. Being shoved out wide certainly hasn't helped, but just looking at his energy levels, they seem massively lower than in previous weeks.

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

      Yeah definitely. Cazorla is so much more fresh and it's showing. Playing some great stuff.

      It's just an absolutely terrifying prospect dropping Sanchez and seeing him score a brace with that ownership, price etc.

    4. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      It's the formation

    5. Don Rogers FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I think he is less attractive now that Giroud is back. Does anyone have any stats on Sanchez score when Giroud is in playing?

    6. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He doesn't seem to be near the goal either.

  10. Viper
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Which of these look best?

    A. Siggy -> Sterling

    B. Sakho -> Benteke

    C. Save FT

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

      C

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

      Assuming that Siggy is fit for AVL match, I would say C. this week and then A. next week.

      1. Chelsea Dagger

    Was anyone on here a few years back when we decided to test the theory that eating cheese late night before bed gave you nightmares? 😆

    1. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I wasn't.. but I've just eaten 2 toasted cheese sandwiches.
      I shall update you in the morning.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years

        The pickled onions may be the killer here

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

      This happened to me a couple of nights ago. I went to a french restaurant and had a rich, cheesy sauce with some mussels. Had a horrific dream. "?

    3. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I was probably here but I hate cheese unless it's toasted or in a protein shake 🙂

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

        Cheese in a protein shake? 😕

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

          Having said that if you work out and take Leucine, that smells like cheesy socks.

      2. Optimus.

        Milk,Greek yogurt,raw egg,2 spoons peanut butter,2 scoops Cottage cheese,Almonds,oats FTW

  12. Van Dal
    • 16 Years

    Anybody watxh the whole utd match?

    How were adm and falcao?

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

      ADM only played 25 minutes, finding his legs. couple shots, nothing spectacular.
      Falcao good movement but also not really that spectacular, though his goal was a very nice header.

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

    Guys, what changes would you suggest for this team?

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

    2 FT & 0.9m itb

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

    A) Foster/Baines/Downing

    OR

    B) 4.0/O'Shea/ADM

  15. FortunesAlwaysHiding
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Who to play from this bunch in gameweek 18 chaps? After 4 or 3 if Bertrand seems a good bet...

    A) Lamela
    B) Tadic
    C) Lampard
    D) Montero
    E) Walcott
    F) Barkley

    1. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      think this is the same draft question?
      lammy;lamps;monty and berk

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

        Cheers, it is. Is Monty fit and will he start do you think?

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

    A) Siggy ➡ ADM for free

    B) Save FT

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

      A. Easy.

      Wish I had the funds to do this without a hit

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

        Thanks. So I'm assuming ADM looked lively when he came on?

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

          Yeah heavily involved. Cheaper than Rooney, Falcao and RVP.

          I want him. Badly.

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

      A-although not sure if ADM is the right choice.

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

        Hmm. Who would you suggest?

        Midfield is Haz, Alexis, Siggy, Downing, Boyd.

        Not a fan of Silva and can't afford YYT.

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

          I was going to suggest one of those 2! Maybe ADM then in that case. Sterling perhaps?

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

            Could do Sterling, although BR said he is due a rest soon

    3. Don Rogers FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Don't know your team, you might already have city covered but Siggy>Silva strikes me as better, and cheaper.

  17. dush64
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone else considering Walters for the 5th mid slot?

    With squad rotation over the next few, it seems like a necessary upgrade from the cheapies.

    He rotates perfectly with Siggy and seems to be somewhat fixture proof over the last few weeks.

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

    Baines, Siggy > O'Shea, Cazorla no hits?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Would Cazorla 100% start? He's been their best player in the last 2 games. AW might want him fresh for West Ham

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

        I'll be stunned if he drops Cazorla. He's not played that much this season, not nearly as much as Sanchez.

  19. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Current DF:

    Baines - Clyne - Naylor- Yun - Moore

    Good enough to start the first three this week, I feel.

    I plan for Baines -> Zab next gameweek. But Yun's injury caused me zero backup in case Zab doesn't play. Looking elsewhere and then .. Skrtel?

  20. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Charlie Austin is third in the golden boot. 1 of Costa.

    Who saw that after Costa;s start?

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

      Me. Austin owner GW1 and 2.

  21. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Pick 1 from each group to score most points until the Wildcard!

    1. Silva/Sterling/Siggy/
    2. Baines/Zabaleta/ Clichy/

    Baines, Cahill, Clyne, Wisdom, Naylor
    Sanchez, Hazard, Downing, Siggy, Marney my current players

    Thanks..

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

      1. Sterling
      2. Zabaleta

      1. Sz21
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Sterling over Silva.. interesting!
        What's the main reason for that?

  22. TSILIKAFENEIAKOS
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I have money to upgrade my mid. So, I am doing Catermole to Mid of 10.0m£.

    I was thinking either Sterling or Cazorla? What do you think for the next 3-4 gws (until WC).

    Front 8 would be :

    Ameobi - Downing - Haz - Yaya - Sterling/Cazorla/???
    Bony - Austin - Rooney

    PS : it would be for a hit.

    What do you think?

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

    Going to see how Costa plays tomorrow but...

    1) Giroud, Baines or
    2) Costa, Skrtel

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Skrtel?! 🙄

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

    Need to upgrade a defender to someone who plays but which is the best option?

    2FTs

    1.
    Downing-------->Adam Johnson
    Bartley----------->4.1 Def (Blackett, Richards (Swa), Moore, Bruce)

    2.
    Downing------->Walters
    Bartley------->4.9 Def (N Taylor, Dann, Hutton, Vergini, O'Shea, Tomkins etc.)

    3.
    Downing----->Milner
    Bartley------> Toure (Liv) (Already got Yaya)

    4.
    Downing----->Ki
    Bartley------->Debuchy

    5.Wait & See

    Front 8 is currently:

    Downing, Yaya, Sanchez, Boyd, Hazard
    Costa, Benteke, RVP

    1. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Keep downing. Release the cash from yaya shortly

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

        Agreed.

  25. The Happy One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Any ideas what to do with this lot? 2 FT, £0 ITB...

    DDG - Elliot
    Baines - Naylor - Bruce - Wisdom - Hutton
    Siggy - Sanchez - Yaya - Hazard - Fer
    Austin - Bony - Rooney

    Getting a bit frustrated by Rooney in midfield and also looking to get rid of Baines and Siggy
    Any suggestions appreciated 🙂

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

    Secretly hoping Costa gets injured tomorrow to give me an excuse to switch to Falcao/RVP

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

      I would agree but I have him captain. Maybe midweek injury?

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

      he'll get a yellow card and 0 goals .. that is enough reason

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

    What would you choose?

    A) Foster / Baines / Downing

    OR

    B) 4.0 / O'Shea / ADM

    1. The Happy One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Who's the other keeper?

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

        Guzan

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

      A

  28. Judas
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Who to bring in to replace Lukaku for free?

    Rooney
    Benteke
    Giroud

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

      Giroud

    2. Don Rogers FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      giroud

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

      Benteke or Giroud
      I'll say Benteke. Better fixtures.

    4. Judas
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Already have sanchez though

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

        Giroud is scoring goals though. Sanchez has not been.

    Need to upgrade a defender to someone who plays but which is the best option?

    2FTs

    1.
    Downing-------->Adam Johnson
    Bartley----------->4.1 Def (Blackett/Richards (Swa) etc.)

    2.
    Downing------->Walters
    Bartley------->4.9 Def (N Taylor etc.)

    3.
    Downing----->Milner
    Bartley------> Toure (Liv) (Already got Yaya)

    4.
    Downing----->Ki
    Bartley------->Debuchy

    5.Wait & See

    Front 8 is currently:

    Downing, Yaya, Sanchez, Boyd, Hazard
    Costa, Benteke, RVP
