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.
FT hazard or silva in this week?
or is it worth -4 to get them both (would mean losing Oscar probably so I suppose can;t decide until tomorrow)
Can see -4 paying off with those moves
(current MF = yaya downing sanchez oscar wagamama*)
(*he be for the chop)
Hazard. West Brom away will be tough for City.
I can't wait for the Chelsea game , got Ivan, Haz and (C)osta to go , would love it to 0-3 Costa brace and Assist, Haz pen , Ivan 2x assist ... not beyond the realms of possibility
I'd like a 3-2 Stoke win lol
Would take that as long as Costa gets both goals lol
Lol Costa is more likely to get 2 yellows
fifteen goals from Oscar would see me shoot up the rankings....
Lol , it will probably be 1-1 Shawx and Willian assisted by Bojan and Matic, everyone loses except Austin and Yaya cappers
Same. Have Costa (c), Hazard and Azpi.
Need something good to happen, having a total mare of a GWI was thinking of you the other day , I would have thought you would have had a good week , was pleased for you when I see Kolarov do well , even Nasri got the CS point , assuming you did the hit , surely you beat the 8 point hit right ?
Any changes should i make for gameweek 18?
Heaton (Hamer)
Huttton Bertrand Jags (Chambers) (Dummett)
Hazard Silva Downing Sanchez (Boyd)
RVP (c) Austin Rooney (c)
0.1 ITB 1 FT** RVP (c) Austin Rooney
*** RVP (c) Austin Rooney (vc)
capt Haz Sanchez was not in form today.
Rooney > Bony/Benteke?
FPL has exploded with options these last two weeks.
Crazy, right? Giroud, Benteke, Kane, Cazorla, Zabaleta, etc.
Benteke, Silva
Pelle*
You will want a Saints defender on the Jan WC. Getting Bertrand back.
I shipped Clyne for Zaba as it was the only way to bring in Zaba for free. Hugely regretting it. I should've found another way.
I did Baines to Mangala this week despite him bring on 4 yellows and I'm honestly glad I took the risk. He's a great defender although people have been harshing him lately he--and the ref disallowing a goal--has kept City solid at the back.
If I were you I would be frustrated that I didn't get Zaba over Mangala. Surely you considered him!?
I went Baines to Zab myself. Just could not take the Baines lack of production anymore...
I actually didn't, I've always rated Mangala and I was just waiting for when it seems like he's cemented a starting place and I think the time is now. Zaba is an excellent pick however but I wanted the less obvious choice.
Fair enough. But it did cost you 5 points. Zab (11) Mangala (6)
5 points.... For now. Mangala goal is on the cards 😎
actually I think everyone has lightened up on him. love Baines but he's 6 matches no pts. very good move
went for Hart
Pricey but good option
desperately need Siggy to be fit..if he's not I'm left with 1 usable sub..
AVL Def:
anyone thinking of getting Clark?
might be going triple avl defence given their fav fixtures.
assumin guzan and hutton ownedDon't go triple Villa defence.
Done! Sakho > Kane and saving the other Tr.
Bench correct or play Hutton over Dummett?
Panti
Baines, Clichy, Dummett
Sigurdsson, Hazard(c), Sánchez, Yaya Touré
Costa, Austin, Kane
(Alnwick, Downing, Hutton, Wisdom)Can't see Costa playing. Costa ➡ Giroud
Would play Hutton personally. Newcastle were atrocious at the back yesterday, though could have escaped with a CS.
Cheers. Will do 🙂
I've owned Eriksen at all the wrong times this season.
Chadli continues to troll me 🙁
Price changes?
Kane ^
Mirallas vKane rose , Mirralas fell
Sort by sticky
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 ftI'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

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)
