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.
Price changes?
Kane ^
Mirallas v
Kane rose , Mirralas fell
Sort by sticky
3 great left foot strikes this weekend - Downing, Lamela & Benteke. The Benteke goal was class, best of the three by a wee bit.
due to the fact that Lamela and Downing are left footers I'd give it to Benteke too
u forgot about yaya toure's left footed shot
he ran half the field up, pause, and ran again before taking that shot...even harder when the heart was hard pumping from the run earlier
Thinking cresswell and Carroll to skrtel and Kane for a hit. Sound good or look at other changes?
Hart
Baines cresswell zaba
Haz Sanchez siggy eriksen
Austin costa Carroll
Bench myhill downing dummet MooreIdk about Squirtle....not the best Pokémon
Anyone else keeping Sigurdsson and hoping he plays?
Waiting to see...if not, I might get Downing
Waiting for the presser. Whenever that may be.
yeah, Im keeping.
If he is not fit, Austin or Carroll will play for him (was about to bench one of them and play 3 -5 - 2)
Yes. If he doesn't it's Downing in from the bench.
Yes, getting Sterling if he is confirmed out.
With the extra day rest they have, and thus the reduced risk of rotation, I am tempted to invest in those juicy liverpool fixtures.
I just have no idea where to put my money...Sterling would be the only one I'd go near.
I hear you. He seems completely nailed doesn't he? He just isn't offering a lot of threat. Granted a couple of goals against championship opposition, but that isn't convincing.
I think you're right though-however unfortunate!
Sterling looks a great option at that price, those fixtures and playing up front. May be due a benching though but who isnt at this point
What would you do with this team?
Hart (4.0)
Baines, Azpil, Wisdom (Moore, Duff)
Sanchez, Hazard, Downing, Eriksen (siggy)
Austin, Bony, Rooney
1m ITB - 1 ft
I'd want to buy a City player or two.
And this
I'd drop Baines old sport
Replace Moore. Can't afford deadwood this time of year.
Moore -> Hutton
Solid
Nice team for the coming week. I'd bank the FT personally. Could come in handy real soon.
Some good suggestions.
Gonna keep the transfer for as long as possible, Rooney and Siggy are the two annoying me. Might hold the trigger til more news or options become available.
Cheers guys

Bad times. 5 red arrows in the last 6 GWs.
10 flippin players at home this week and can save a FT. Surely my luck will change 🙁
Foster (MCI)
Baines (STK), Azpi (WHU), Chambers (QPR), Taylor (AVL)
Hazard (WHU), Nasri (wba), Siggy (AVL), Sanchez (QPR)
Costa (WHU), Bony (AVL)
(Elliot, Austin, Wanyama, Hutton)
Austin in naylor out
Thanks. QPR are just terrible away from home and Swans are decent for a CS. Risky one, I admit..
What happened to Chambers to Kolarov -4 ? Was thinking of you rooting Kolarov on was pleased when he done well I thought u dis the move
I chickened out 🙁 worst thing in FPL is when you chicken out. Disgusted at myself. I'd been talking up Kolarov for three days and didn't back it up with action.
Benching someone after a hat-trick just seems so wrong 🙂
Yep
Naylor points possibility 0-9, austin 2-~
id pick austin
Lamela nailed on for Spuds? Will he kick on now do you think?
He's pretty nailed I'd guess but I don't think hell be in the points regularly
Even if he was nailed on its still to early. There is no guarantee he will kick on and be a good prospect
______________Hart_____
_____Ivanovic Zabaleta Chambers
Bolasie Sanchez(c) Yaya Hazard(v) Sterling
____________Kane Costa___________________
Bench :Mccarthy Austin Hutton Yun
I want Adm
Captain is early choice but going off of Sanchez even in my team let alone (C)
Seriously thinking of Sanchez to AdMSanchez>ADM
Kane>Giroud
work?Keep imo
Captain yaya or hazardI want ADM too. It might be the right week to lose Sanchez to do it too. Walcott in for Yaya soonish too.
Two many to's in that post too 🙂
Lol 😀 , I know what you mean about the right time , Sanchez is exhausted and due a rest , he hasn't played at Xmas time his whole career too and I'm not sure if his religious but he looks it and it may bother him having to play football so close to a holy day , AdM is fresh and his numbers are great and it would be nice to have United cover
Sterling or Silva as a short term punt!!
Didnt see the City game. What was Milner like up top?
His usual energizer bunny running around tirelessly thing
Might make a decent 5th mid Im thinking
Chambers to Zab worth a hit?
Feck Chambers, he's leaving my team eventually, might as well cash in now before he eventually drops in price.SOlid fixture for him this week though
got it BsB. But Austin's form though...
Yeah Austin looks pretty good. And I hate it when my striker plays my defender 🙁
speak for yourself. I don't have Austin. Held off on getting him in for a hit and played Siggy in a 3-5-2 instead. fml. Oh well, shudda wudda cudda.
Ouch. If it makes you feel any better I've had terrible luck with my thrid striker spot. Got Dzeko and then Bony in this week 😆
no that makes me feel worse. cos I have both Dzeko and Bony 😆 😆
Oh dear ...
I DON'T NEED YOUR PITY
😆
If price isn't an issue, I would wait one more week personally
thanks
No. Keep till chambers is benched
thanks MFB. Sound advice. Guess i'll stick.
not this week
Lel I got this wrong earlier.
Planning to get Sterling and Benteke in.
Which combo do you prefer up to late Jan
A) Eriksen + Costa (3-5-2)
B) Benteke + Costa (3-4-3)
C) Benteke + Eriksen-Carroll rotation
All players equal.C for me
B
Sigurdsson being injured would make it easy for me.
Sigurdsson>Boyd
Sakho>Giroud
Giroud>Benteke the week after
Play Austin instead of rotating him with SigurdssonWait news imo
Anyone→benteke the week after yes
Any news on Siggy?
your ideal front three for this gw?
for me, its costa, rooney and giroudDefinitely not rooney.
not expecting rvp to be rested?
no1 knows so hard to say
i think rooney is the only player to start every games..rvp can be rotated with falcao and young james wilson..and with di maria fit, can see a changes in the formation soon
Will Costa play? Where will Rooney play? Can't agree on those two.
who are your picks then?
Costa Giroud Bony
yeah bony is good shout, though with siggy out i'm wondering who can provide the creative sparks
Austin, Carroll, Rooney 😎
austin only scored two goals in away fixtures so far..can qpr breach arsenal defense?
If Liverpool can, QPR can. That defense is sh*t without Kosc imo
can't agree more on that..even out of form newcastle can score against them 😀
Giroud bony rvp
i'm afraid rvp is due for a rest..has been playing non stop since world cup, especially now falcao has been fit..and against out of form newcastle
Kane Austin Costa
like the kane picks
Costa, Giroud, Bony
Austin, Bony, Kane
To those getting Di Maria am I missing something? Not guaranteed to start and he doesn't score enough considering his price tag.
Who's everyone's ideal Siggy replacement if he's ruled out?
ADM/Sterling, for me.Downing
ADM for me
Will bench
Maybe Silva or Sterling.
Boyd then upgrade Sakho>Giroud
Sterling
My defenders having tough fixtures 🙁
Wisdom (MCI)
Dummett (mu)
Tomkins (che)Team :
Guzan Gilks
Clyne Chambers Naylor Wisdom Duff
Hazard Sanchez Yaya Siggy Boyd
Costa Rooney Austin
1 FT 0.6 ITB
Do you think this will be a good move?
A. Rooney -> Benteke / Giroud
B. Siggy -> ADM (-4)
ThankssRooney→giroud next giroud→benteke
Or
Keep roo then next roo→bentekeVery sound advice.
I might hold the transfer and use it if there's any injury updates / suspension.
i hold the transfer though
Any transfers needed? 1 FT 0.9 ITB
Lloris (Guzan)
Zaba Azpi Wisdom (Dummett Tomkins)
Boyd Haz Toure Siggy Sanchez
Austin Costa (Sakho)
Cheers.Bank the FT imo. Nothing there warrants a transfer.
Am I benching the right man?
good team
Sakho +siggy →kane+sterling/eriksen/silva
If siggy ruled outCan't afford them, I can only sell Siggy for 6.4m (I bought him since gameweek 1)
No matter how much we plan or think things through there will be some nasty surprises on the 28th. Just hope I'm on the right side of them 🙂
Ideal captain this week?
Ideal differential captain this week?
Thoughts
Cazorla!
ideal captain ------> rvp
differential captain --> rvp
😀Ideal captain: Giroud
Differential captain: Baines 😛
Just wondering, would you play
a) Sanchez (mci)
b) Carroll (HUL)
first to 7both, though will be carrol if u have to choose
Just planning your starting XI a month in advance?
Yes. Casually. 😎
B by a mile
That said, big AC may be crocked by then!
Costa or Sanchez has to go for me to free up funds for a City player. Who should I sell?
Fyi, I have Hazard.costa, not this gw though
Has to be done this week. I am thinking Costa too. But I think it is better to replace Sanchez with Giroud. Sanchez had hardly anything to do last night.
i have both sanchez and giroud..sanchez not performing last night maybe because of playing against liverpool, no disrespect to qpr, but expecting sanchez to do well next gw
So I'm guessing (as a non-member) the above article indicates Falcao and Di Maria were impressive against Villa?
ADM always has good stats. But don't be fooled by his shots on target stats. A lot of them are long distance tame shots right at the keeper. I am a ADM fan btw
Hmm fair enough
gotta thank AdM for my Guzan save points. Should have taken one more lame attempt to give him one more save.
There is very little chance that the starters of any team will be rested on the 26th when they have had 4-6 days rest. The rest will come for some on the 28th and the 1st of Jan. It imakes a lot more sense to give a player 4-6 days rest followed by another 4 days than 6-8 days then 2 days.
Yep, makes sense. But if you're talking about Sanchez (c) I'd still be very careful. The guy looked absolutely knackered today, so I wont be doing it personally.
Think I'll keep my Hazard/Austin home captaincy rotation going. 62 points in 2 weeks has been much appreciated.
Nice, well played 🙂
Krul / Panti will be the best options on the Jan WC.
excellent.
Was going to transfer Elliot to Panti, but end up Krul -> Guzan
Krelliot owner here 🙁
Thoughts on Siggy -> ADM this week?
Need some more opinions.
I'm thinking of doing it for a hit mate definitely would if it's for free
Id rather Silva than AdM
Silva 8,9m vs AdM 9,5m
And City have 6spots for midfielder position over ChristmasHave Silva already
This
Why's that? Just because of one brace?
He has always been an inconsistent FPL player imo.
