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.
Thoughts on Yun+Costa>Ivan+Giroud?
Don't sell Costa for Giroud
Costa not worth 11 off late imo..
What's the latest with Yun? It's nice having a £3.9 player on the bench if he's actually getting game time, especially over the holiday period. Any update on his ankle injury from last match?
Not sure, but there's the Asia Cup coming up soon anyways
And I'd favour Costa over Giroud. I think Costa is a season keeper, even if he misses one or two over the coming gameweeks.
Giroud will play against QPR. Costa will not play against West Ham.
with mid-range strikers like Giroud, Benteke, Carroll and Bony keeps theirs points ticking, I'm getting the feeling that Costa is slightly overpriced. Isn't having a chelsea defender over Costa a better option? Already have Hazard and Fab...
*keeping their
Good reasoning. I'm expecting Costa to keep up a steady flow of goals and occasionally score three or four. I think the pricing is fair, personally. I'd drop Fabregas and definitely have a Chelsea defender (Ivanovic is my preference). You could just wait until the wild card to reorganize the team. Giroud does look hungry at the moment, though...
I've always felt that Fab is very underrated in these parts. I've owned him since the beginning of the season, and he is very very consistent in returning points. He takes most corners and free-kicks for CFC, who have a lot of tall and strong players for winning headers. So whether Ivan, Cahill, Terry, Costa or Matic scores from headers, it'll be Fabregas delivering the assist 🙂
excellent move-qualitee
giroud warming up,ivan class
yun overrun,costa run his race?
Morning fellas. Would you save a FT with this lot?
Guzan
Terry, Zabaleta, Naylor
Sanchez, Hazard, Siggy, Downing
Costa, Bony, Rooney

Really think gru will fill his boots v qpr so prob going with this. Any thoughts?
Ta
a
B
thanks both
A
Yaya + Siggy > Silva + Eriksen. Worth it?
im sticking with yaya so the switch back to aguero is easier but the transfers sound good!
i dont want siggy any more and just got rid of baines, I want an everton player!
a)barkley
b)miralles (when fit)
Save FT?
Tempted by Sterling and Benteke but that can hold off til next week..
Fabianski
Zab Azpi Baines Clyne
Sanchez Hazard Eriksen
Costa Bony Austin
Downing Boyd Duff
Saaaave
save it
Foster/Gilks
Hutton/Rangel/Baines/Zabaleta/Dummett
Siggy/Downing/Sanchez/Hazard/Marney
Costa/Bony/Lukaku
1.4 ITB. 1 FT
Should I save and do Lukaku + Siggy --> Austin + 10.7 next week?
Cheers.
Sanchez + Lukaku -> Silva + Giroud
Sanchez out!? I don't think so.
Why Sanchez out? Pls explain
Cazorla has hit form.. did you saw yesterday match?? he was there best player from the newcastle game.
see*
Sanchez is still the most Dangerous player in that Arsenal team
Won't start v QPR. Fixtures turn sour after the QPR game.
Might as well get Austin now. Higher chance of outscoring Lolkaku in any gameweek, this included.
Have you seen QPR's away form?
Lukaku has stoke. Surely he will score? Was unlucky against SOT. Has a good goal scoring record at home.Lukaku is trolling everyone and everton is shocking lately.
Keep then. Don't cry about gameweeks after 🙂
Like I said, I plan on doing Lukaku to Austin when Austin has CRY at home. One more GW for Lukaku then its bye bye!
QPR on abit of a high, Arsenal's defence is shocking, bit of a London derby element to it, QPR could nick one.
But sure, guess it's safe to sit on the transfer.They always look like they are on a high after they play a home game. Then they lose.
nothing's gonna convince you 🙂 keep Lukaku.
i agree, I expect goals galore
4-2
Any thoughts on Milner over the coming matches? What chance that he'll be in the false nine position again? If so, he's likely to pick up some points. He's been quite an assist machine recently.
He didn't look it on Saturday tbh, i wouldnt!
Seems likely to be Silva's spot (I thought they changed part way through.) Even so I think he'll get a few games in centre mid and still makes those key passes!
Looks like Silva is the one to have now, though Milner seems a decent bargain punt.
If it makes you feel better, I've got Milner in my draft team and have done since about November. Silva or Toure are the ones you want though.
Thought this myself. Surely he will play up top of the injured remain injured
Considering him ad 5th mid if Siggy is not fit and out for Silva.
Costa Hazard and Terry to play
Sitting on 70 points up from 5.9k to 1.7k...
Can I expect another green tonight?
Do I want goals from Haz and Costa?Should move even higher. Great week!
Agree. I have also 70 points and only Hazard and Costa left, With 5 points from Naylor coming in. Hoping to get a green today too.
surely a green. great week.
Thanks!
Cheers mate
One of the best teams I've seen on here, lacks some Sanchez/Cazorla but otherwise perfect....jealous.
Cheers mate
Still reeling from my Bony (c) on Saturday, ruined a great run inside the top 10k...if only Monk had kept him on the bench!!'
austin (vc)?
No, the yet unknown point tally of Hazard but would have made tonight more interesting plus Boydinho would've popped from the bench with 5pts!
Fpl down for anyone? About to leave work so thanxs for any replies in advance
No it's ok for me
miralles racks up the points every time he plays but his minutes are limited due to injury, can an everton fans tell me how close he is to playing 90 minutes consistently?
He never has since he's been at Everton I don't think. He did play 3 games in a week recently though and that's the first time I can remember that happening, plus he looks better than ever so maybe it's a sign of things to come.
Can you rate this bunch for Boxing Day?
Forster
Clyne Zaba Hutton
Hazard Sanchez Yoyo Eriksen
Costa Austin Giroud (c)
4.0 Chester King YunKing Yun 😆
Looks good, I like the Grioud (C) punt!Fecking Yuninho

B) Siggy + Yaya -> Silva + Downing + 1.8
C) Siggy + Baines -> Downing + Zab + 0.7
D) Baines + Sakho -> Giroud + BDavies + 0.3
D - short term
Who else is looking at Coutinho
His recent attacking stats are excellent?Morning folks. Any ideas of how many captained Haz & Costa in top 10k?
Lovely
3rd post of this page Timbo!
Thanks. I wonder how many own them and if it's good or bad if they score!
Austin to unlock 9:48pm tomororw according to fpl. Does that mean he won't rise for two days yet?
would you rather make any changes here or save FT?
Adrian
Baines - Azpi - Clyne
Sanchez - Fabregas - Siggy - Downing
RVP - Costa - Austinsave FT
I have two real options
A) hamer to pants (heaton my other keeper)
B) Baines & siggy to Zaba and cazorla or sterling (-4)
Leaning towards A atmGood to see more of the FFS community in the top 10k this season.
Recall there was much more anguish on the boards last season.Many Regulars in Top 10K..I will also reach soon!
Did you end up bringing in Austin this week Shifty?
what do you think?
No 😆 Fecking played it safem avoid the hit and play Siggy in a 3-5-2. Fecking idiot this Shifty fella.Can't say you weren't warned!

Sometimes this game suckkkksssGrr
Can't say I didn't put alot of thought into it! Even Giroud, the alternative, scored ffs! This game is pure evil I tell you. Gutted when the goals came in...but can only blame myself. Dust it off and time to go again.
Hopefully Hazard(c) saves some face tonight.
Top 10k ownership of players remaining:
Courtois 1.6% / Cech 0.1%
Begovic 1.4%
Azpi 28.2%

thanks lads
😀
lol pleasure
I like this guy
I have two real options, neither are fantastic...
A) hamer to pants (heaton my other keeper)
B) Baines & siggy to Zaba and cazorla or sterling (-4)
Leaning towards A atmA
A or save?
Would like to swap out Rooney and use the funds to upgrade a mid to City coverage, but it is foolish to take him out with home fixture to Newcastle on the horizon?
Even with the possibility that he may not factor in any of the points..
His returns do not look promising after that display.I've ditched him for Kane and wanyama for silva
Just couldn't get excited about his performance other day and he's too much money to be sat in midfieldhit?
can do the same thing, but for a hitNope saved my transfers this week as I bottled Baines to zaba 🙁
I axed him last week for Austin. I had to ignore a lot of people telling me it was a mistake. Go with your gut.
Any suggestions guys?
Heaton
Baines - Bertrand - Hutton
Siggy - Hazard - Yaya - Sanchez - Eriksen
Sakho - Rooney
Bench: Krul - Austin - Dummet - Moore

Who?Dummett and Lukaku out

stalker😕
😮
so I have zab and yaya, would you prefer to double up on their defence or midfield:
A hart
B silvaMidfield. They are so wobbly at the back. Should have conceded at the weekend but for a dodgy decision.
they will get those two CS in the home games I am sure of that
I think Sunderland will score.
Considering Silva, see beliw
Below
mid
Rvp to giroud for free?
lol
Would be decent but Newcastle are a bit leaky ATM...
did you see how Newcastle defended yesterday? 😆
